The sound you hear is silence
H's brother came this afternoon and picked up the kids. I am finally getting a small break. Thank you C and M.
At the moment Emily is watching Wubbzy; Caleb is playing on the computer; and Whitney and Mandi have Alyssa locked in the bathroom giving her a makeover. I am having a nice quiet moment of relaxation. I could cry.
I had the strangest thought today and I really must be slapped if I ever think like this again. You see, Toys r Us was having a huge sale today. At least that was how they marketed it. I thought what fun it would be to load up the toddlers and Whit, Mandi, and Alyssa for a trip to toys r us. What a freaking mistake. Everyone and their nephew was there and this store is really, really small compared to some of the others I have been in. I have no clue what was on sale because there was not a single aisle that I could make it down. It was madness. Caleb and Emily did manage to walk away with sippy cups that have their names on them. I was so excited I found one that actually said "Caleb".
No shopping was completed and I am seriously considering going strictly online after this. Madness, I tell you.
I am going to head out and enjoy the quiet. I have some things on my mind and I might hit on those tomorrow. Have a wonderful night.

hjaha, Toys R Us or any place with crowds I turn and get back in that car
SO, eat turkey at 1pm and head straight to Toys R Us if I want any hope?? LOL. Ours are pretty decently sized... *crosses fingers* I need the damned diapers if nothing else...
I have been shopping online for about 6 years now. Amazon.com, Ebay.com and Overstock.com If I go out to the stores it's in the evening during most peoples dinner hour. I do my grocery shopping during the Charger games and I will only go to an amuzement park like Legoland on Super Bowl Sunday. I think I may have an aversion to crowds bordering on agoraphobia.
I totally prefer internet shopping. I hate crowded stores. Glad you are getting some peace and quiet, finally! :)
@filtered_sunlight - what brand of diapers do you use? Or is it somewhat of a whatever is cheapest? My sisters usually take the Huggies coupons, but I can probably pass on some Pampers coupons when I see them.
@der_lila_Stern@xanga - We tend to go with whatever's cheapest, but sometimes the Pampers are on sale and if we have coupons, more than once, they've been the cheapest option.
Toys R us sell very expensive toys, the only reason i shop over there is because they organize that toys according to ages. =/
@filtered_sunlight - ok. I will send them when I can. If you dont use them, that is fine.
We have hit the sales at Toys r Us also. We did really good. We got Cooper action figures and Adrien a keyboard. We went before the kids got out of school and most people were still at work.
Girl, do the opposite of what he Nike logo says "Just dont do it!"....I try to stay away from toys at Christmas, that is the worst time to buy them. My kids aren't into fads anyway, we have bought them both one outfit each so far, and I call that progress! LOL
