surviving Black Friday

I thought I would post and let everyone know that we were out... like the crazy people at 3:30am in the morning like all the other crazy people we have made fun of in the past... though not as bad as the people camping at the mall's and stores we were out freezing out butts off for a token of our devotion. I got a 5 dollar card that I proptly spent on warmer socks and Quint won 10 dollar card that he promptly spent on my warm sweatshirt... so all in all it turned out to be great since I got sore feet and warm socks and an extra jacket out of the deal... :)I saw on the news that several other people were not so lucky, 3 for sure died and it made me wonder what is wrong with people? What compels us to become people so crazied with the want to save a dollar or two that we loose sleep or time with our families to trample over strangers? (rest assured there was no trampling where we were... just police cars every three minutes which led me to believe it was a problem spot in times past...)

I did manage to get some great buys for the kids and Christmas... however it was not from the place that I risked freezing to death... next year I may get up early but you will find me still sleeping until well after 5am :)

At any rate Thanksgiving was wonderful both times, we actually had three counting the turkey we cooked as well... :) We all had a great time, the kids didn't even want to go home when the day was over so that is a clear indicator that good times were had :)

Today we are going to try our luck at fixing our poor old van and our poor worn out washing machine :) Take care and keep in touch, :) pictures with santa should be coming soon, s

I thought this was cute so I thought I would pass it along... still waiting to hear back about the books. s

Breaking News! I got my Author copies TODAY! Yippe! Everyone should get theirs soon, s

Sewing

So I broke out the sewing machine the other day and started some new projects for the girls. I will have to add some pictures again soon, I do take them, just don't add them all the time. I have been feeling better, but I think I am doing to much again and need to take it easy. I still wonder how to do that when I have 6 kids and million things I want to do.

One thing at a time right? deep breath....

Quint took us out to a movie the other night, it was Ghost Town, I laughed until I cried, it was a good clean movie (compaired to most that have come out lately). It was hilarious. I hope everyone enjoys it.

Have any of you recieved your books yet? I am waiting to get mine in the mail myself but wondered if any of you would consider doing a review for me? Well let me know on one of the sites I get feed back from all of it, thanks for the support everyone, really. It really helps. s
