the only thing I really wanted to do this week

Was to make cookies with the kids.
Knowing I was working Sunday...
I made the sugar cookie dough Saturday night & stuck it in the fridge.
Unfortunately...
I pooped out after just getting started.
I was in bed by 8:15 & pretty sure it took a micro second to fall to sleep!


this working stuff + real life + Christmas=
A really tired mom.
Lucky we got a few done!
maybe after work today we'll make some more.

I love the little messages inside the cookies. I still need to do this with my kids. You are such a great mom!

Cute cookie cutters! What a great idea to make the dough ahead of time... breaking it down like that would help tired mom's allot!

I totally understand and often have big plans for my nonwork-time that end up not happening because I'm too tired.

Those message cookies are so cute!!

I always like the idea of making sugar cookies in theory, but then feel done with the project before the cookies are done. Breaking it up into several days is the way to go!

What a cute cookie cutter/message kit thingie!

You are lucky to have super special access to all the latest and coolest kitchen-y things at your super special JOB. You are PERFECT for that place!

I made gingerbread cookies last week and had to do the whole process in one evening and nearly went around the bend. So...part of me wants to bake sugar cookies but I'm still traumatized by those little g-men.
