November 18, 2007 - Sunday
It's been a few weeks since my last blog. I was pretty busy while Trav was visiting with Halloween and all and since then, I just have not had time nor inclination to blog. Later, I will try to do a review of at least the high points.
Today was a good day - at least as good as it can be taking 3 kids to the Mall while being 12 weeks pregnant and being alone! I got up and thought about the fact that I am REALLY late getting a present out to Trav for his birthday. So, I took the kids out to the Mall today to buy what I had planned on getting him - a new wallet. When he was here, I looked over his and realized that a) his was starting to get a little ragged and most importantly b) he REALLY needs to go through it and get rid of stuff he doesn't need anymore! Yeah! That made the decision on what to buy him pretty easy!!! Plus, I got the kids' school pics back so I can put one of each in his wallet so he has those. I figured that makes it more personal and a sweeter gift. ;-) I got it, put it together and now have to find a box to ship it in. Also got him birthday cards as well as birthday cards for Sue. Spoiled myself a bit with 6 pair of black socks, 3 pair of stay at home fuzzy socks and a Christmas scrapbook from Hallmark that I plan to finish as a gift. I also got the two older kids 2 pair of jeans from the Disney store and a Power Ranger costume for Braden for next Halloween! (I hope he likes Power Rangers next year!) We had lunch at the food court, cookies and pretzels for snacks and just had fun walking around. The kids did their customary "Check out Santa from afar", but would not sit on his lap. Too funny!!! Wonder if they will ever get over that? Came home and just hung out after making the kids (and myself) clean up our messes from the past couple of days. Now just trying to figure out what to make for dinner while enjoying some time to just sit and relax. Kids are playing really well together so I can enjoy myself. This won't last long...when the baby is here, ANY relax time will be a thing of the past.
Time to go watch the oldest two slow dance!!! Too cute!!!
