I sent the kids to school today with little gifts for their teachers. Tomorrow is their last day, and it's a 1/2 day, but they were having little holiday parties today.

My DH is home sleeping, because he worked all night. I think I heard the alarm go off, so he must have turned it off in his sleep, since I don't hear the shower running yet.

The boys will be home in an hour. The girls are watching "Sid the Science Kid" (??), and it is absolutely freeeeeeeeeezing out, partly because of the wind!!

I think I'll make the boys some hot cocoa for when they get home. . .

I'm actually feeling pretty good, because I think I am finally ready for Christmas :)

I've never actually bought anything off of eBay.


I saw 2 of the bells.

Gabby had a 2 hoour delay today since it was only 4 degrees out this am.I was hoping her bus was on time as I had to take my mom for radiation and I did not want to be late,even though my mom called and said we might be.Bus came on time exactally 2 hours after it usually does Gab did know we were delayed last night.After that my mom and I went to lunch then I went to 5 different stores to find a copy of the dvd Clue.GAb wanted 5 copies of it for her friends and whe found 4 at Target for $5.50.I finally found a used one at FYE for more than the new ones,but at this point I really did not cae,since it was only 5ifty cents more and her and her friends love watching this movie at slumber parties.It is from 1985 and I can not believe I was looking in all these stores for just one more.I know MIL kept elling her just get another movie,but that wasn't the point she wanted this movie since it is their fav group movie and another movie would not make sense.My poor mom was stuck running around with me although she stayed in the car since it is still freezing.Gab said used was ok,but it still feels funny.I have o take Gab to the craft store for a few teacer trinkets when she gets home.Other than that we are relaxing tonight.Gab has 1/2 a day tom.Yesterday was Gab's holiday show for dance,that was a little sressful since we had to deal with all the grandparents,plus step grandma at once.MIL get testy at times.Then when we were done Dale wanted to take my mom and his to get pizza and his mom kept saying she was fine with going but she was not going to eat anything.Not that she would cook herself anything at home.Maybe she thought I was going to whip up a dinner at 4pm after being out all day.She did finally have a peice of pizza after I said Dale was paying,which is what we had intended all along.Howevr she refused o get a drink,she got water with lemon and put sugar in it to make lemonade(her words o Gab).I love my MIL dearly,but there are days when she just grates on my nerves,since she can be kind of ecentric at times.She is one of those people who hides money in a matress,but balks at paying $1 to park.

We had a busy weekend. Saturday was our last shopping day. We are done with Christmas shopping. Sunday we took the whole family to Nashville for to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and then dinner and a tour around the Grand Opryland Hotel. It was beautiful. We also saw a guy purpose to his girlfriend. They were sitting right beside me near the dancing fountains and he got down on one knee and ask her to marry him. The girls were in a huge awe moment. It was sweet. It was very romantic and they love that stuff. Then it got gross cause they wouldn't stop kissing, it was too much if you ask me. LOL We got home late and Here we are at Monday again. The kids are playing at the neighbors house and I have a quiet moment to work with the puppy. He's doing good. Trying to train him to be quiet and calm in the house. He usually is chasing the cats everywhere.

Best buy also carries it as does FYE,but I think it is more.I actually got Gabby's copy at Best buy and it was only 6 or 7 dollars.Target has it in the section tha has movies for $5.50.I just wish Gab had told me she wanted 5 instead of 3,but I did gst the 5th one and the disk actually looks good.I buy used dvd alll the time at the Exchange,but never for gifts.Gabby and her friends love the movie.I would definatly look in stores,before paying $20 for it.It was made in 1985,I think.
