Shopping Anyone?

Usually mom and I or Brandon and I head out for some seriously intense shopping on the day after Thanksgiving.  This year it did not happen.
Poor Danny was up sick most of the night.  I finally gave him a third of a phenogrin (sp?) to help his stomach settle and let him get some rest.  He is so pitiful.  I would not have been anywhere but with him today.  I cannot stand it when the boys are sick, but I am very thankful I was able to take care of him.
Danny and I spent most of the day laying around.  He finally held something down, but he was just tired and still not feeling great.
We were supposed to go to Thankgiving dinner at Teresa's today, but Danny did not  feel like it and we did not want to share anything he might have had.  Brandon and John Michael went though and they had a great time.  They even brought us a plate of food, though after dealing with what we all night and morning food was the last thing on our minds.  The thought was definitely there though.

Shopping and Lights

Mom picked me up to go shopping at 11:00 last night and we shopped until 10:00 this morning. It was definitely a long day. I did not get a lot of what I needed mainly because I thought I was getting more help than I did. Anyway, I am not going to vent about it right now as I am probably too mad and hurt, but it will be fine. It always is. I have very little left and I will get it done. Mom's friend came with us too, which is always nice. I love Mrs. Charlaine, and she probably is the only reason my mom and I speak to each other during this time.
So tonight is the Christmas Lighting Party. I am so tired. I think next year we will do it the weekend after Thanksgiving and just make it a Christmas Kick-Off event. I was really too tired to enjoy myself and I do not like feeling that way at all. I did not get to make several of the things that I wanted to and that bothers me. I really think moving it back a week will make huge difference.
The party was great, the kids all had a great time and lighting the house is beautiful. You should all take the time to drive by and check them out. They will definitely make you and especially your kids smile! Merry Christmas!!!
