Wow, I was SO totally going to post this yesterday.? But I didn’t.? I’m not entirely sure why, but the only excuse that halfway works for me is that I was in the business of getting… back in business.? It’s hard to recover after the holidays.? Things were so bleeding INSANE for a good two weeks around here.? We took the last weekend to just shut ourselves in and let our brain cells regenerate.? So yesterday was sort of a shock and I feel that today, I’m better able to deal with my daily life.
Ahem. Anyhow.? Monday was a fun, fun day. We hung out at home in our PJ’s for probably longer than was wise.? But it felt good to be on our own schedule for once.? The idea was that we would go out and spend our gift cards.? Except, not so much as it turns out.? We didn’t ever get to Barnes and Noble for Harry’s card.? And I went to JC Penny to try to spend mine but I got overwhelmed.? Everything was on sale.? And I didn’t know if I wanted to use it on clothes, or shoes or a handbag…? I still don’t know.? And we decided, rather last minute, to go see a movie.? So I didn’t have a lot of time to hem and haw.? We did purchase a gift while we were there (yes, totally not done with Christmas shopping) so all was not lost.
We went downtown (the only theater whose matin?e prices go until 5:30 on the weekends and holidays) and saw “Night at the Museum.”? Which was so fun and so cute.? Harry had to go to the bathroom two times during the movie and once just as we were getting out.? So I’m not sure what that was about.? Liam had a GREAT time.? He was wide awake for the entire show, but never fussed.? He did, however, start to squeal with delight on several occasions though.? It was so cute, but I was worried that people would get annoyed.? So I tried to keep him as quiet as I could.? It was fun, though, to see him have such a good time.? It’s a good movie, so I recommend it for anyone wanting some fun, family-fare to go see on the weekend.? Very clever and Owen Wilson was my absolute favorite.? I tend to adore him in any movie he’s in though, so I may be biased.
After that we went to Chili’s for dinner where we proved once again that we’re the cheapest people in all of creation by how proud we were that we kept our bill for the three of us under $20.? We were going to go to Home Depot (another gift card) but it was CLOSED (as if!) so we went to Super Kmart which never fails to give me the heebie jeebies.? But I did get some cute (cheap) Christmas cards for next year.? Because YES, I will do cards next year.? I WILL.
I have so much to catch up on, blog-wise.? I want to talk about a bunch of Christmas stuff that I forgot to post before.? I want to discuss some resolution/goal type stuff.? So hold me to that, dear readers.? Right now, I’m gonna dive back into some more design work which I am SO behind in it’s not even remotely amusing.
This is me. I'm a thirtysomething stay at home mom to three kids. For years I was a stay at home mom to one kid and trying very hard to have more. It took a LONG time (ie: 6 1/2 years), but finally Liam arrived and charmed us with his blue eyes and ginormous, round head. Then we got a shock: I was pregnant again and this time it was a GIRL. Our hearts and home are full at last and now that we're done having babies, we get to relax (snort) and watch them grow (not too fast now, you hear?). Thanks for coming by, feel free to dip into my archives, read my About and History pages (just don't do Jackson's Story without tissues!) and make yourself at home.
