shop til you drop...

I am not sure why I always wait until the last minute to go Christmas shopping. I stress myself out every year. Worried about what to get, what not to get, did I spend too much, did I not spend enough, the list could go on and on.

I left work early today because I was not feeling to well. I still have this cough and praying it will go away before our trip to California. Nobody wants someone who is sick to visit them. I got some antibiotics so I have started those, hopefully they will help. I took a 2 hour nap and boy did I need that! I am grateful my husband takes care of things so I can nap. He's awesome.

I woke up around 5 and heard Jessie fussing. I figured it was time for dinner. We need to feed her before she gets too hungry or she wont eat and will be really up set. Craig and I went to McDonald's for the kids and then we went to dinner together. I sure enjoy going to dinner with just the two of us.

I told Craig if he would go shopping with me tonight then he will not need to go with me tomorrow. We headed to Costco and got a few things there. Then off to Walmart to finish up our shopping. We pretty much got it all done.

We arrived at home and I thought well It's still early and I have a few things left to get so I asked Preston to go to the mall with me. Preston and I went to the mall and had a great time. We got a few more things that was left on my shopping list.

Preston is a funny kid. He was trying to get me to tell him what we got for him. Of course I didn't budge. He then told me, "mom, I need some underwear, because my underwear that I have now I think is shrinking." I couldn't help but laugh. I told him it's not your underwear, its you, your growing.

Well, as of now I am pretty much done with Christmas shopping. What is left is getting odds and ends and that is easy to do. I can do that when I get my groceries. I began to think why did I stress myself out? I do this every year and every year it turns out ok. Tis the season I guess!
