Holiday Season!

  Happy Holidays!!  WOW, is all i can say about the crazy shopping season this year.  I LOVE to get my shopping done early.  Every year for the last 8 years my sister and I have done some sort of Christmas shopping the day after Thanksgiving.  I know crazy right?  Not really,  we were never going after anything specific due the crazy rush so we would just lay low and look for good deals in the leftovers.  However, this year we are not in the same state as my sister.  My family (myself, kids and hubby) moved 10 hours away from family.  Crazy huh?  Oh trust me if you moved away from your family you will thank yourself specially if you have overbaring family.  Any how my husbands came down to visit for Thanksgiving so I had it all planned out that my mother in law and I would go shopping the night of Thanksgiving and the men would stay behind and watch my 2 rugrats ( 4 yrs and 4 months).  We headed out in the rain thinking that some people might would stay home cause of the rain however I was wrong.  We pulled into town and drove past Wal-Mart and there were people EVERYWHERE parked along the highway, and in other parking lots it was absolutely NUTS!!  I made the decission we would just go back home and try again on Friday. 
We struck out on Friday whole family in tow and had better luck.  We still didn't really buy anything because I am VERY cheap and love buying things that only have 1 number in front of the decimal.  YES, I am NUTS!!!  HOWEVER,  I waited 2 weeks and went to Khol's took the hubby and kiddos with and let my son show us what all he wanted from everyone including family back home and then I stayed behind and the hubby took kids to car and I shopped quickly.  As we all know Khol's buggies are NOT practical by anymeans!!! Anyhow, I packed the cart full as well as the child seat in front and headed for the checkouts.  There is always a glitch anything you are doing in a hurry and my glitch was a SNOBBY nose tilted middle aged lady.  She was in front of me walking towards front and stops so I had to stop knocking out all my toys onto the floor making loud noise for everyone to look at me.  I started picking up all my stuff and repacking it into the cart and started walking again she comes around from the jewelery and walks out in front of me and stops AGAIN knocking everything out AGAIN and just looks at me like Im stupid.  By this point Im sweating from being in a hurry and wearing a coat cause Im in a hurry.  So I pick it all up again and go around to get away from her and FINALLY get in line and I'm waiting and the same ol'lady comes up to me and says "Can I get in front of you I only have 2 things and well you have this whole buggie?'  and I said "No, you can get in line just like everyone else has to and wait your turn".  She said well aren't we just in a bad mood today.  I was like yeah and its all your FAULT.  However, it is 1 week till Christmas and I am DONE Christmas shopping, everything is wrapped and hidden and now we are just waiting for the big day to get here and remember the 15th was the last day to get things shipped by Christmas Eve!
Merry Christmas!
