Christmas Bah-Humbug
Ugh. Have I ever mentioned that I the crowds at Christmas? With working full time (no time off before Christmas), shopping, taking care of Cutie Pie and his ever growing defiant and stubborn nature, and baking for every event under the sun--- I'm beat. I'm so exhausted all the time. I can feel myself falling asleep when I drive, when I'm working (which is actually normal-- ha ha ha), and mostly when I come home and lay down on the couch.
Bro has had a negative effect on my efforts to save money. He's talked me into accompanying him to several Walmart and Costco trips which have resulted in impusle buying binges. For example, last nite at Costco he convinced me (or I convinced myself) that I needed a 32" flat screen LCD TV. I had no intention of getting it, but he made it sound like the deal of the century, I couldn't resist. Then to make matters worse, after we got home and he set it up for me, he wanted to check out the high definition on the TV, so he brought up his PS3 and put in the blue ray of Iron Man, which I haven't seen yet. So, of course, I had to watch it. It was fabulous!!! I love RDJr. He's right up there w/Obama (who I still haven't seen vacationing around yet). I ended up going to bed at 1:00 a.m. and was supposed to get up at 5:45, but overslept, so we were both late today.
Again, I am not sleeping. But extremely exhausted. Presents to wrap... we'll see.
