I'm simply giddy over the fact that it is officially "The Holiday's". Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I know I've already told you that Scott and I are just making dinner for us and the kids. It's great having family over, but when you have a family that doesn't mesh well together, it can be really stressful. So, we're doing our own thing. Plus, we like to have the leftovers! :)
As you know, I've been fighting a flu cootie for a week now. I'm trying to figure out exactly what it is that is going on within my body. I don't usually hang onto funk for this long. I think that being tired and stressed is contributing to me not feeling better.
Don't care about that right now because nothing, and I mean nothing is going to keep me from my holiday shopping this weekend.
As a side note, I have to add that even though I didn't want to, I went to work today. I had to leave early to get Sami because my daycare lady was pretty frazzled by 9am....not a good sign. Anyhow, I picked up Sami about 1:30 and then stopped home to get John and we were off to Meijer. I had these grand plans of running in quick and getting the few things we needed for dinner tomorrow and something easy to throw together for dinner tonight. Yeah, right!
I think everyone in Lowell and at least 5 surrounding communities were in Meijer this afternoon. Seriously, by the time I got to the frozen foods I had a headache so bad I thought I would vomit. The kids were great, don't get me wrong. They were so good, I was actually shocked. It was just the whole not feeling good thing, the stress of shopping with hundreds of other people, and worrying that I'd forgotten something important. By the time I got home, Jason emptied my truck for me, thank goodness. Jourdan started unpacking bags and putting things away and Scott came in a few minutes later. I went straight to my room and put a pillow over my eyes.
My tension headache had turned into a serious migraine. Scott, bless his heart, kept everyone out of my room and an hour and a half later I emerged feeling much better and my headache was gone.
Ok, got that out of the way. I bought the Grand Rapids Press at the store and discovered that the Thanksgiving Day sale at Meijer was actually better than the Black Friday sale ad. Hmmmm, that's odd. So, to kick off my insane Thanksgiving weekend, I'll be meeting my sister and my mom at Meijer at 5 am tomorrow. As you can see by the time of my post its nearly 1am and I'm still up. Typical me.
I also discovered that Walmart had put their Black Friday ad in the Press early this year and their sale is starting Thanksgiving night at midnight. I'm not kidding. Midnight is the beginning of their sale. And then, their big electronics sale starts at 5am. Do they just want people to hang out at their store for 6 or 7 hours. I wonder if they will have cots set up for us? Hmmmm.......
Anyhow, after my morning adventure to Meijer, I'll be going to meet my mom and sister at Walmart tomorrow night at 10:30pm at Walmart in Ionia. Then we'll hang out, or get breakfast, or something so we can be at Target at 4am in Grand Rapids, which is 30 minutes or so from Ionia. I have to go there because they have a small fridge that I want to get Jason for his dorm. It's not super small, it has a small freezer in it and it's only $119. Plus they have a $38 microwave, and Tina said something about a sandwich maker.
When I first met Scott and we moved in with him, he had a sandwich maker. It's electric, and I don't know whatever happened to it. I think it broke from overuse, lol. Anyhow, it opens and has spots for two slices of bread next to each other, and you butter one side....put a slice of cheese in the middle, and put another buttered slice of bread on top and close it. Scott probably made Jason and Jourdan 500 grilled cheese sandwiches in that sandwich maker when they were kids. They loved them. So, I think Jason needs one in his dorm.
He also asked for a big box of plastic silverware from Costco, which I'm also getting his friend....who is in the other room of the suite. And cups of Ramen soup. Well, at least he's easy to please this year. I was laughing today because he told me that his dad had mentioned something about a microwave for him for
Christmas, but he said he didn't want them to buy it because it would be a cheap piece of crap. Ok, that's fine. But a microwave is a microwave and these small ones aren't anything special. It's for a dorm room for crying out loud. My opinion, let them buy it and I can buy him something else he needs. I mean, the kid needs towels, a hamper, and even dorm size twin sheets for the bed.
So, my weekend will be very busy. Good thing Scott got his check early on Wednesday and I don't have to wait until Friday. Things would get ugly around here if that were the case.
So, it's late and I better try to get some sleep, if my damn stomach will let me. No flu bug is going to keep me from after Thanksgiving shopping. I don't fucking think so!!!!
I'll let you know how that works for me, lol. Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Until next time.....
