Last night was one of those nights. Sleepless and watching the clock until the morning. Perfect way to start a Monday. Jonah had a bad dream at 4 am-ish, so it was hard to go back to sleep. I've been having a time finding pants that fit. i bought a perfect pair a couple of wks ago....now they're a little baggy. So I got another pair over the weekend, cute black jr cordoroys because I'm finding it's harder finding pants in the ladies size that fit right. Anyway, I wasn't sure I'd keep them because for once I didn't try them on at the store, and you never know how they're going to look, but they're ok. Laura and I can both wear them so I decided to keep 'em. She has some things I can borrow if needed so that's a solution to the problem of finding pants...good...because I'm tired of trying on things.
I got all my Christmas shopping done. So now I can go out and not have the pressure of buying anything unless I just want to. it was so crowded at the stores on Saturday. I went out on Friday night, and once again, the cashier didn't give me one of my bags (or I was too preoccupied with the 3 kids putting the buggy away or making sure I put my credit card back in my wallet...I always have to doublecheck that). I arrived home and realized it....very irritating....and had to go back the next day. I intended to just go in, get the bag and leave, but stayed 2 1/2 hrs and bought more gifts. Audrey tapped me on the leg while I was looking at Christmas cards and said Nana walked by. And sure enough there was Nana walking through the aisle, there to return some shoes. A nice surprise...we were glad to run into her!
I had a few groceries to get at another place, but of course ended up buying way more than I anticipated. It's always the way. A guy in front of me talked a little bit, saying isn't this fun standing in line? asking Audrey if she liked standing in line (it took forever). He had some bread, peanut butter, jelly, and beer. Probably single--lol. My shopping cart was clearly not for a single person....at least 6 boxes of each....macaroni, scalloped potatoes.....3 pizzas for a meal, 2 gallons of milk to get us through a couple of days....plus bunch of other stuff...so yeah it was a buggy-full.
So we were shopped out by Saturday evening. But here it is Monday and I may go out again later in the afternoon to pick up a prescription. Maybe I'll do a little more browsing somewhere if I feel like it. Not sure though....I'm a little tired. Ben and Jonah's bd's are coming up--12 and 4! We're having a party this wkend so that should be fun. next week's going to be a stressful one so a party'll be nice to take my mind off.
One last thing...our fam went to see the Christmas lights last night. The kids had chocolate sundaes, etc. They were listening and singing Christmas music...it got a little loud....but fun for them! I got coffee....I'm starting to enjoy it more and more. Had 15 mins to buy Ben a cactus and luckily they were 75% off. Poor little plants were out in the cold, but I gave 3 a home so that made me happy. Ben loves it!
