So I wasn't going to hit the stores this year... I stayed up and looked online instead :) 12am came...and realized I couldn't shop till 3am at Walmart, 5am at Home Depot and 6am Kmart.. among other stores and various times..... 3am... 3:08... 3:15 site is working at Walmart- woo hoooo!!!! Grabbed my items, went to check out and their site wanted me to enter my shipping info again... I did and it erased it.. 3x I went through this and lost 4 items that I really wanted... all the cheap things to! ANNOYED... 5am came... Home Depot here I come... and the 1 thing I wanted, you couldn't order online.. great! At this point I am ready to just pack up and go to the friggin store- I don't want to go out but I REALLY want a pair of Bear Paw Boots I tried on that are advertised for 50% off and after 3 hours of research I find that the store doesn't sell them online..... 6am is here and at this point I give up as it is all a sign to walk away.. I just know it! I went to bed... Caleb decided to get up and by 8am he was NOT going to let me lay down anymore... so out the door at 9:30am in the snow and ice to the store.. and Bear Paw was not for me today... I settled for socks instead.... so after much annoyance I put on myself after saying I wasn't going to do this.. I accepted fate and shopping is done... now I will pack away my stress box of things to make for my shared business.. and start on Christmas gifts and crafts....
The highlights of my day came when I bundled Sophie up to go outside to play in the snow.... she remembered our playing last year as she laid down and made snow angles.. and snow kitties... filled up her beach pails and made blocks of snow! Her and Gargamel (the cat) chased each other, fed the chicken and rabbits snow and both ate hand and pawfuls :) They came in together to warm up for a bit- we went back out an hour or so later and chased each other up and down the driveway! Decorations started to go up.. and I hope to get more done when it is not so cold out! We came in and had hot chocolate with marshmallows for dinner and cuddled before saying good night to Fisbee the elf!
He came last night for his annual month long stay with us, checking in with Santa nightly and returning to a new hidden spot each morning... He is a funny elf... he starts out practical and then gets pretty sneaky with his hiding spots, trying not to hide in them more then 1x a season... I wonder if he will ask Santa if he will pat Gargamel and Sheba (cat and dog) when he comes to see Sophie? She asked about it tonight... will see if he sends her an answer!
Happy Holidays and enjoy the spirit the season gives to everyone- avoid the stress and feel the love!!!!
