Christmas shopping

Well, today I plan on finishing all my Christmas shopping. That means a pretty busy day. Of course my hubby isn't even awake yet (it's 10:30am), so I'm not sure when we will get out the door. (My husband works the late shift, so don't go judging and saying he's lazy!)

Christmas has really snuck up on me this year, and I haven't been in much of a "Christmasy" mood. I guess with all the crap going on with my family, I haven't been thinking too much about the Holidays. At first I had really high expectations about the Holidays, I thought they would be great because my brother was coming home from Iraq. But, instead, Brandee and her kid f***ed up everything again. Let, me tell ya, this is not the first time. It's just sad.

Even though I'm not in a Christmasy mood, I still want to make sure my kids have a great Christmas. Bradley is 3 now, and really starting to get into the swing of Christmas. He's real excited, and believes Santa is bringing him gifts. It's been harder this year, now that I have to sneak around and rap and hide all the gifts. Parker is excited too, and he seems to understand about how Santa is going to bring him gifts. Parker is two, and only ten months younger then his big brother Bradley. Dustin, is only nine months, so he won't know much. Dustin was with me while I was rapping gifts, and was actually playing with one of his Christmas gifts before I even got to rap it! But that's ok, at least I know he likes it!

I am looking forward to Christmas at the boys Preschool. I know they will be doing a real small Christmas show for just the parents on December 22nd. My mom bought me a new video camera so I will be recording the little show they have. I'm pretty excited about it. The paper they sent home with my boys says it's an ice cream & cookie party. The kids will prepare and serve their parents cookies, and then sing a few songs. I can't believe thats only ten days away! Time just seems to be flying by.

And it's only 13 days until Christmas!! Wow, I am soooo far behind.
