The Twelve Days of Christmas

Is that right 12 more days until Christmas? Which means 14 more until Madison's birthday. I can't believe it. For the first time ever am not done Christmas shopping! I haven't even hardly started to get ready for the big birthday party two days later. I am usually done with both and starting to buy things meaninglessly. I haven't even finished my must get list!

I woke up yesterday with what I think is a great idea for one of my nephews and OF COURSE I can't find it. I already got him something but I want to get him this one great idea of a gift. I have my mom on the job though. One plus to her living in a different city. More places to find JUNK:) I need to get my act together and get this ship sailing. I am sitting here thinking of all the places I must go to find the perfect gift.

It is chilly outside. You think that would get you in the mood. NOT! It just makes me what to stay inside. This is the one day of the week I don't have to go to war aka car circle. I don't want to get dressed and face the outside world. I can only imagine the crowds today. The amount of disgruntled shoppers all fighting for a parking spot. Over crowed isles, over priced items and the lack of common courtesy. Call me the Grinch.

I went to Walmart yesterday. I found a lot of nothing! What I did find was in the wrong spot and not priced. I not sure if everyone else is having this problem but the shelves at stores are pretty empty. My mom and I went to Toys R Us weeks ago before black Friday and we where not impressed at all. I guess the recession has caused the lack of goods in stores? How are we to buy gifts when there isn't anything we want to buy? It could be I am just too late playing the Christmas shopping game.

Lucky Saint Patrick's Day!

Ada you will love this... Madison loses her tooth yesterday on the way home from school. I am so excited, I take a picture as soon as she gets out of the van and post it everywhere and email it to family. I clean it off and put it in a zip lock (easier to find under the pillow, right?) and we tuck it under the pillow and we all, ALL fall asleep. Madison wakes up at 5:30 AM and says to me, "I can't see if the tooth fairy left me anything". PANIC stricken. I FORGOT THE TOOTH FAIRY JOB! Okay this is my only job on earth. I can't remember to exchange cash for a baby tooth. I send her to the couch and tell her it is too early that she has to try and go back to sleep. I grab Marks elbow and he says to me, "it is only 5:30". He was awake and heard her too. We both lay in silence for 30 minutes hoping she falls asleep. Funny thing is once we talked to each other thirty minutes later, both of us were in bed formulating a plan. He wanted to sneak out our

Mohawk!

Um, where to start? I went away for the weekend with girlfriends to get some R & R and scrapbook. Little did I know I was going to come home to a Mohawk. GO RAYS! I think Nathan is loving the attention that comes with such a dramatic do. I really can't believe Mark did such a crazy thing. I don't think anyone that saw Nathan at church could believe it either. For all you wondering, I love it and I will go away on another girls weekend. It's not like he gave all the kids a mohawk. The girls still have their lovely locks.

Time

Yes, my topic again is about time. This one is not about the waste of time, but the passing of time. As in how long it has been over a period of many days, years, etc. Saturday night I went scrapbooking at a friends house. Something we have done for about two years! WHAT? Two years, at least once a month. Where did that time go? I feel like it was just yesterday that Meagen and I where going to Anita's. At the time if you would have told me my scrap buddy was moving in the matter of months to Fuquay-Varina I would have said two things, "Where in the world it that?" and then I would have said "yeah, right!". She probably would have said the same things at the time. I now see it all as a God wink. Most of you have been to a Women of Faith conference and have heard the term God wink. I appreciate all the God winks in my life. See, at the time I didn't know Anita except from an occasional candle party or birthday party. We were aquanitices at the
