So today I discovered that there are a couple of places you do not want to be just a few days before Christmas. Toys R Us is one of them. Holy smokes! Those parents/grandparents/aunts/uncles are C-R-A-Z-Y!!! I felt lucky to get out of there alive.
-----------------------------------
The bargaining ability of a four-year-old is quite an interesting thing. We went to Toys R Us for one of those Disney Cars TV/DVD combos. Sam wanted to buy a toy. I told him no toys because he was getting the TV. He told me he didn't want the tv anymore and I could put it back! I have obviously failed somewhere in the critical thinking department with this kid.
-----------------------------------
Sitting in a newly carpeted bedroom upstairs this morning, I said to Steve, "It's less sad to sit in this room than the old room. I mean, it's still sad, but it's LESS sad."
Steve said, "There's even some hope in this room."
The man gets it!
[I'd say the man gets me, but then I'd have to explain away this morning's coffee-buying episode...which is totally unexplainable.]
-----------------------------------
Kmart was out of Christmas lights. OUT. GONE. ZIP. ZILCH. NADA.
-----------------------------------
I am writing out Christmas cards.
Two years ago I wrote out Christmas cards that so cutely said, "Love, Cathy & Steve and Sam & Baby #2."
I didn't do Christmas cards last year.
Are we having fun yet?
-----------------------------------
My kid loves his new bedroom. Now, I've just got to get him to sleep in it...
-----------------------------------
The new electric fireplace with cherry mantel was delivered today. I have no real place to put it until they fix the ceiling in the next room. Speaking of which...
Things that still need done on the house...
~Sam's closet door falls off if you touch it. That needs fixed.
~The guest room needs outlet covers.
~The laundry room still needs baseboards.
~The master suite still needs baseboards, some finish tile work, and all outlet covers.
~The common area needs baseboards and outlet covers.
~The stairs need torn out and rebuilt.
~We need soffets built to hide the pipes that run up to the second floor...namely the pipes in the kitchen and in what is currently our bedroom.
~The back peak still needs vinyl facing.
~One word...gutters.
~The side porch needs insulation and interior walls.
Think it will all be done by Christmas? LOL!
-----------------------------------
I just spent about $80 on three Christmas ornaments.
I.am.not.kidding.
In my defense, they are Make-a-Wish snowflakes and will be personalized with each of our three boys' names.
Yes...It's official...I have lost my mind.

I would have said that Toys R Us is a place you should avoid with children at all costs. We're hoping to keep its existence from Flicker for as long as humanly possible!
