Busy, Busy

This month is flying by! Last week was not a good week for me work wise. I was in a bad mood with the kids and they were acting up all the time!

We had a nice relaxing weekend. Friday night we watched the Cy-Hawk game. Hawkeyes won! It's so nice to have a winning basketball team again. It's been too long! It's actually fun to watch again.

I sadly can't even remember what we did on Saturday. We must've just hung out and relaxed all day! That was the goal. I do remember that evening we watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I had been wanting to watch it again for awhile. It's one of those movies that makes me laugh every time I watch it!

We had an interesting Sunday morning. We got up and headed to church. When we got there, the person on the schedule to work in the nursery wasn't there. We just hung out with Daniel waiting, while 3 different people popped their heads in asking if I was supposed to be in there and that they were going to go find out where the person was that was supposed to be in there. Someone else brought their kiddo in, so I told them they could just leave her if they wanted and we would watch her until they figured out what was going on.

By the time someone came in and we headed in for the service, they had just finished communion. Come to find it, it was a communion only service! They were having a Christmas musical during first and third services. Anyway, there was a small devotion and then we were dismissed. So...yeah. We went and picked up Daniel after 10 minutes. Ha!

We ran a few errands and then spent the afternoon at home.

Sunday night the shopping bug hit me. I printed out a bunch of coupons and started debating if I should take Daniel shopping on Monday even though it would mess up his schedule. In the end I decided to go for it.

We did the Y thing and then headed off for a busy afternoon of shopping. My first stop was Penny's to see if there was anything I could use a 20% coupon on. (I find it hilarious that the CEO of JCP threw a fit over the fact the consumers were mad that they took away coupons and said they weren't coming back. Well...the lost a lot of business and now they're trying to win us back!) Plus they have these little buttons with codes and 1 in 4 wins. I was hoping to win some money off my purchase, but no luck! I did grab and handful though to try and win in the next few days!

I picked up an cute outfit for Daniel as a late birthday gift. (Used some of his birthday money) and a pair of jammies. Both Carter's and both on clearance! The jammies are going to be his Christmas Eve gift!

Next it was on to Target. I mainly needed to go there because A: I love to walk around Target and look at everything. And B: I needed diapers for Daniel. Plus I had coupons for some good deals. My 2 best scores were, a 12 roll pack of Angel Soft for $3.99 and a package of Bic pens that I got for free after coupon!

After spending entirely too long at Target, we hit up Goodman's, and got my mom checked off the Christmas list. That store is jam packed with stuff...and Daniel became a little kleptomaniac! Not to mention we were having a battle of the wills with his socks and I had to back track through the store to find them at one point!

Then onto Barnes and Noble and Michael's. I gave up at Michael's quickly. I had a couple of ideas in mind, but I could settle on anything and Daniel was starting to get fussy. I still needed to go to Bath and Body works, so we headed over there instead. I had a coupon for a free travel sized bottle of shower gel or lotion. I picked out a shower gel and then also grabbed some other things and used my 20% off coupon. Not to mention everything I bought was on sale too!

By the time we got home it was just after 5 and I was WIPED out. BUT...Jacob had his K-2 program last night and I really wanted to go surprise him. I let Daniel play and I fed him quickly. He seemed to be in a good mood, so we jumped back in the car and headed to the school . It was PACKED. After we found a seat, I saw Jacob talking with some of the teachers, so I decided we'd sneak up behind him and surprise him. The look on his face was priceless and it totally made his whole  night! I'm so glad we went!

Daniel had a blast. He clapped his hands, waved his hands, bounced and kicked his feet during all of the singing!

 By the time we got home it was a little before 8. I decided to skip his bath. My head hurt and we were both tired. He was asleep by 8:30 and I was out around 9:30. Unfortunately, I took 2 Tylenol PM (for the first time in almost 2 years). I was so drowsy and Daniel did not sleep well. Poor baby. I royally messed him up! Thankfully he's been taking a good nap this afternoon. I should have napped, but I wasn't tired until a bit ago. Dang!

It's just the boy and I this evening. Jacob has the middle/high school concert tonight. That one would be too long for Daniel to sit through, and this Momma needs a night to rest! I know they'll all do great though. I'm super proud of all the Jacob has done with the music program!
