Tomorrow is not only Monday, it’s also mere days before Christmas day. It’s ALSO the day where I will be hitting up Toys R Us and Best Buy among others for our Christmas shopping. It’s the only chance we’ve gotten as far as shopping goes. I’m feeling more or less calm about it since I know exactly what I’m looking for and most people will still be working so hopefully it won’t be too busy and chaotic in the stores.

Hayley has school for two days this week (really only one day because Tuesday is the school-wide holiday party day so I doubt they’ll be teaching much of anything – though the math teacher DOES have a homework sheet for Tuesday, sheesh!) so she’ll be there while we’re out and we’re dropping Breanna over at her grandparents’ house while we head off to the stores.

I’m a bit stressed out because I do wish we had been able to do this all much sooner but that’s the way the cookie crumbles (or the way the bank account fluctuates, whatever you want to call it). Also, it’s not the first time we’ve done it and although I always dread it, it always works out. I don’t know what kind of magic they work in Toys R Us but we’ve always been pretty lucky over there.

Still, keep your fingers crossed and think good thoughts for us tomorrow morning! Please?
