Okay, here's the deal. I'm trying to blog on a regular basis but the thing is, I just am not that interesting. Once again, stealing
Hailey's thing. Here goes:
- We got a REAL tree this year! I am tickled with it. It's sooooo pretty. The thing I didn't think about before my decision to get a real tree is that I would also have to purchase lights & a tree stand along with the tree of course. After all that, I could have bought a really nice pre-lit artificial tree & used it year after year. Oh well, it's still more fun with a real tree!
- My brother got a job! WOOOOOOO!! He has been unemployed since April after a VERY raw deal with his ex-employer. Times are tough & I know it has been a long 7 months for him. No one is more happy for him than I am though & I wish him the best.
- The last time I did randoms here, I talked about how we had a mouse. Sitting here this very minute, I just heard the trap snap. I jumped out of the chair because I'm scared like that but SCORE :)
- Mallory is getting Dance Star Mickey & a kitchen for Christmas. She doesn't need clothes or shoes even though I selfishly went to gap.com & filled up my shopping cart with stuff for her because I just can't resist Baby Gap. I then asked myself, 'what am I doing??' and clicked the X to end that. Point is, she does.not.need.clothes. Her wardrobe could clothe ten little girls. I need toy ideas. Or books for her age. She loves books.
- I have been let down about 28 times today because I keep thinking it is Wednesday. Booooo on Tuesday.
- I have quit the gym :( Lately, my lunch hour has been filled with errands & well who wants to go to the gym in the dark at 5:00 after working all day?? Not me. I am racing home as quick as possible to get little boo. Still, I am disappointed in myself for not going the past few weeks. Once I get out of the routine of going, it is nearly impossible for me to start back. No bueno. But please keep asking me A Manning!! Hopefully, I will surprise both of us one day, ha.
- My parents cooked for us tonight. Chicken on the grill, cabbage & fries. Sooo good. & so nice to not have to worry about what to cook! On that note, I think I'll call it a night. Good night y'all :)

Oh books. I have tons of ideas for you!
ReplyDeleteAnything by Sandra Boynton! My girls LOVE the Boynton board books. Our two absolute favorites are the "Going to Bed Book" and "But NOT the Hippopotamus!"
Anything by Eric Carle, Dr. Seuss wrote a lot of very toddler friendly books that aren't as long as his others (The Foot Book, Oh the Things you can think! etc. etc.).
Good luck! I know what you mean about clothes! The girls have more than enough. :o)
Dr. Suess is a MUST!!! I have every single book ...not kidding either!!! Kyle would always laugh & giggle when I would read them because of the funny names Dr. Suess gave everything....and of course you have to by Twas The Night Before Christmas for her too!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got your mouse!!! And a BIG Praise God for "J" on finding a job!!!!!
First off, I am expecting to see pictures of your beautiful real Christmas tree! Second, this is my first time in the gym in like 3 months, embarrassing, I know. So it's safe to say that you have done better than me during that time period.haha Third - HALLELUJAH on Joseph's job. Fourth, I am glad that little mouse is dead. And last but not least, I am finally commenting and Wednesday only has about 2 hours left. This means only two more days of the working world left for this week :)
