Christmas is fast approaching

Has anybody started Christmas shopping?? I have!! Well, I have several things bought for Sara and I have 2 or 3 small things for TC. TC wants two toys I need to order for him. And I may give Sara a little money too.

TC has been home since Tuesday and even though he says otherwise, he needs to go back to school! He is a little toot! Aggravating his sister and being a little turd. Yes, he is a typical boy!
And he is very excited for Christmas.

We are putting the tree up tomorrow. I have started wrapping presents. Mainly I have bought for extended family. I still have more to buy for the Hubby and the kiddoes.
How much do you typically spend on Christmas??

2010 Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!!! We had a good day!

Park

The kids and I went to the lake/park today. I had to laugh at this sign. I don't think gators are there but a woman says she saw one!

9th birthday

TC came home yesterday and insisted I send cupcakes for his birthday. He said, "Ms. G said you would send cupcakes!"
Thanks a lot, Ms. G!
I had already made up goodie bags.
Luckily I had a cake mix.
I had TC help me make cupcakes.

My sister will drop them off for me at his school because I have to go to work and I need to leave before school even opens!

Hope he has fun!
I am sick.
And exhausted.

TGIF!

Dental visit

I am happy to report TC saw the dentist yesterday through Miles for Smiles at his school. He did great and his teeth were all healthy. He was excited about his free toothbrush and toothpaste. He does not brush as much as I would like him to but all in all, he is doing good when he does brush.



He was cursing a lot this morning and I had to get onto him. He blamed it on his Iron Man toy. I was not falling for that one...LOL!

Weekend drama

This weekend has been pretty good. We mostly stayed around the house. TC has been a good boy all weekend.

I am a little perturbed at Sara because she is a teenager, for one. And number two, she is funky. And I don't mean just a little funky, I mean a lot funky. Her room is a disaster and I rarely say anything except for once a week or so. Let me just say, I went off on her earlier. I had good reason! I don't ask her to help with anything other than an occasional load of laundry. And when she does crazy funky things, I get pissed off. She is on my list right now, and not the "good list!"

I need to take a long walk to calm down because I am still mad!

Sleepless in Tx

Everybody is finally starting to get in the groove of my working again.
TC still fusses about going to school, every evening and again in the morning.
It sure gets frustrating, but he has to go.
Once he gets to school he does fine.

I am having a hard time sleeping past 5 or 6 hours. I can't get my brain to stop and if I wake up, I am awake. I was up today before 4 and laid there for an hour and never did go back to sleep so I just got up.
The only problem with this is that I am exhausted in the evenings after work. Which really sucks.

Hubby took TC fishing the other day. I am wondering if he would like a new fishing pole with his birthday money. Lord knows he has enough toys!!
