The other day the hubby and I went Christmas shopping , fully intent on getting all of our shopping done in one day. Being that we have had a grand total of zero days so far to get it done, with his schedule, my schedule, the kids being sick, and the list being small this year cause both his family and my family decided not to draw names this year. We only had six kids and one teacher to shop for, so shopping was going to be a breeze, so we thought. Well at least 3 1/2 hrs and at least 10 stores later here is the only purchase we made, other than lunch, a new rug for our entry way. Are we on the ball or what. We spent $73.86 and all we came back with was a rug and full bellies....So today will be our second attempt to get Christmas shopping done. With everyone and there brother out trying to get that perfect last minute gift, I'm sure it will be quite interesting. I say last minute cause to me the one who usualy is mostly done gift shopping by the last week in November, a week before Christmas is last minute.....When did the Holidays become so stressful... Oh thats right when I became married with children. Ya marry one person and soon theres 10 other people to try and please( kids and inlaws). Ya love them but lets face it shopping for them can be a big pain in the very ample caboose....
