What Will The Day Bring?
Today is like any other day...Kid off to school, errands to run, house to clean. Your average run of the mill kind of day. It's a shortened school week for the Friday holiday and because of that there is a dance at the school tonight. This will be the first of my daughters dances that I am NOT chaperoning and it feels wierd. Like I should be there! But, I have to work tonight so it's just not possible. I think this will be a good transition for baby girl anyway. Time to cut those apron strings. So, as I sit here watching Survivor tonight she will be swinging her hips to funky music and having a grand time.
Tomorrow won't be you average run of the mill day though...Hubby took a floater so we could get that dreaded Christmas shopping done...YES PEOPLE, I SAID DONE!!! I am refusing to go into the stores after Thanksgiving because of the craziness of it all and since my coaching job starts next week, tomorrow will be the only day I can really do the shopping. I am already dreading it. We will hit the mall in the morning, (and TJMaxx, Target, Burlington, Walmart, The Ski Shop, Kohls, Best Buy...this list goes on and on...) and I will drag myself into the house with a major headache and an empty checkbook probably late evening. It will be a long a dreaded day. Hubby has his own ideas on shopping so I'm sure there will be arguments and baby girl wants to go with us so that means no shopping for her. That's a major downer. I was hoping to get a bunch of stuff for her also. I will have to go again sometime to finish up without her tagging along. Don't have a clue when that is supposed to happen since I have no free days. I do have Saturdays but Oh, It SCARES me to think aobut what the stores will be like in a couple of weeks.
This morning I think I'm off to buy skis for Baby Girl. Hubby and I wanted to do it together but I don't see it happening. I will go see Todd at the ski shop
and see what kind of deal he can give me and if I find something I like I will let hubby stop in his way home from work to ok my selection and purchase them. Sounds like a difficult way to do it but what choice do I have? I just want this whole gift buying process over with quickly...it's worse than pulling teeth and cleaning toilets! ARGH!
On a brighter note, last night I did some cooking. Needed to clean out the overstuffed freezer to make room for my turkeys so I used up the tomatoes and made chili. It will be easy meals for a few days so that's a great thing. Just heat and eat! I also embarked on a mission to make a perfect Key Lime Pie.
First time I've ever made one and I'm almost frightened to have a taste. I'm sure it won't compare to the one I had a couple of weeks ago at Longhorn. This one has a light meringue on it and I'm not sure I'll like that. I think I'll go try it now...I know it's early but I'm anxious to see what it's like.
So, that's what the day will be like...I wonder how many monkey wrenches I'll have to jump over? Later Peeps!
