Happy Thursday.....

Hey, everyone....what's going on? I am so glad it is one more day closer to Friday.
Things have been pretty hectic for me here at work...ready for the weekend.
The kiddos go on Fall break tomorrow....through next Monday...wish I had it off as well. But, things here at work are not conducive to me taking any time off...sigh...maybe around Thanksgiving I can get an extra day or two off...Lord knows I truly need it.

I got my car fixed...it looks great! Looks like it was never wrecked....the only thing that is wrecked now is my checking account, but...we won't get into that.
I am so not ready for the Holidays...how many of you have started/finished your Christmas shopping already? Not me....bah humbug! I hate this time of year. I have covered that topic on here before, so I won't beat a dead horse....but, it is not my favorite time of the year...I go out, see the crowds of jolly/happy people, spending, shopping, preparing....with the goofy grins on their faces, singing Christmas carols, I just want to slap them....sorry, if that is one of you...no ill intent to you personally...just the "season".....

My oldest said he only wanted a coat for Christmas....that was it...A Northface brand coat....those can get pretty expensive....maybe I need to check Overstock or Ebay...that's an idea....
Second Oldest...no clue what to get him...clothes, money....something along those lines...
Third son wants a Nintendo DS....some games, some clothes.....
Little man...well, he is usually happy with anything....because he wants everything...
Hubby and I...we don't exchange gifts...so no pressure there...Christmas is for the kids so we hold off until tax refund time then we usually buy each other something...although this time around, I think we will be paying off credit cards and maybe buying some new living room furniture..

Crap...Mr. Burns just walked in, so I better get off of here....I will try to post from home this weekend.....time allowing...I have lots of pictures to post...more things to talk about....

Later....

I am working on some crafty Christmas gifts for my kids. I usually give them a gift card so they can buy what they want in addition to my homemade gifts.
The big thing we are doing this year for Christmas is to make Christmas cookies. Since my girls are back in the house, we are going to make all the things my mother made every Christmas. We all love Christmas, but what we love is the traditions not necessarily the gifts.
Ciao
