• Aunt Flo is here and I hate her..........

  
  

  With that out of the way let me tell you what my day was like yesterday;

  
  

  8am- DH wakes me up, I roll over and say "I'll get up in an hour." Remembering that I only have until 11:45 to actually shop for the late-ass Christmas presents, I decide that 9am is PLENTY of time to get it all done and be home by noon...so I roll over to get back to sleep.   I Notice BT lying there staring at me like a maniacal killer and roll to the *other* side.

  
  

  
  8:15am- Take Shower, BT wouldn't let me sleep, so might as well get this Christmas shopping shit (wow) out of the way...

  
  

  
  8:35am- Out of shower, look at clock, exclaim to self, "Wow I'm ahead of schedule, I thought it was surely 9am already..SWEET!"

  
  

  
  9am- Get ready to leave the house, must walk the dogs first though...I *am* going to the mall (yuck!) and Toys R Us (double yuck!)

  
  

  9:15am- Arrive at mall, not too bad, more cars than say, in March but hey, it ain't that bad!

  
  

  9:45am- Leave mall empty handed after searching FOREVER for a stupid turtle game that no one has ever heard of (who gave BT the idea of 'cute little turtle game' for Xmas? no, it wasn't me...I swear it!) Ok, I didn't search forever, but damn I hate the mall and going to 2 stores is forever to me, ok.

  
  

  9:47am- Arrive at Toys R Us, it's packed, I'm on my way into hell...mutter to self, "Gawd damnit, I will never go on ANY trip before Xmas again, I just want my catalogs and mail order Christmas gifts, this actual store shopping shit SUCKS!" (wow, again!)

  
  

  10:28am- Leave TRU, call the DH, bitch about how I only got 3 of the bazillion and one gifts that I need to get, get bright and wonderful idea that since I'm ahead of schedule, I'll run over to Target on the way home see what they have.

  
  

  10:45am- Arrive at Target, the placed is covered up with people, muttering again to self about no trips during the entire month of December...

  
  

  11:15am- Leave Target after finding EVERY LAST ONE of the hard to find toys that I wanted to get for the kids, (all wood toys, simple stuff, nothing electronic, except video games for BT, but only 'cause we can play those too). AND I paid UNDER $85 for everything, how cool am I?? Yup, THAT cool!

  Still don't have the turtle game, but DAAAAMMMMNNNNNNN I got everything that I wanted to order the boys and it was HALF if not more, of what the catalogs would have charged me! (minus shipping)
  I AM THE GODDESS OF XMAS SHOPPING!!!
  

  BTW, DH had the boys and was working from home, as I walked into Target he called me to let me know that he had to leave for work as soon as I pulled into the drive, isn't that wonderful? 

  
  

   Dh to me: "Honey, I know you're stressed because we had to go see my family instead of buy Xmas gifts and we're running behind and you've busted your butt the past 3 days to buy decorations and whatnot for the Christmas Eve Gathering, but uh could you sort of speed up this whole 3 hours that we agreed upon and get home sooner?? A V.P. for my company doesn't have any replacement computers where he is, because the company/CEO is too cheap to buy anymore, and now I'm in huge trouble, K?" (this isn't really what he said, but he should have that would have been funny!) My Reply;

  
  

   "Sure, dear, I'll hurry."  I took my own sweet time, that stupid VP can just sit there without a computer, had he and the other upper management that makes well over 2MIL a year taken a paycut, they wouldn't have this whole 'no laptops on hand' problem....fuck 'em.  Not much DH could do anyway, the big wigs brought ALL this shit upon themselves....DH just had to say "I'd be more than happy to get you a laptop, sir, but uhhh y'all won't let us buy a box of PENS let alone computers so.....you take your platinum card and run over to Best Buy and find ya one, maybe you can take that MIL$ a year salary and buy yourself a nice cute Best Buy computer boy too!"  Bastards.

  
  

  ONLY 7 MORE DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!!
