I hope everyone had a good holiday.  Mine was jam packed, as usual.  Christmas Eve was just crazy busy.  We had family pictures that day, and for those of you with kids, well you know how trying that can be.  I’m fairly used to it being I’m with them all day long, but poor Denny, you could hear in his voice how aggravated he was getting.  He gets a vacation from work just to have to battle a family photo, lol.  Our appointment was at 10:30 and we got out of there just before noon.  The kids by themselves did ok, it was the family photo that was crazy frustrating.  Trying to get everyone to cooperate at the same time.  Yeah right.  Anyhow, here is how it turned out, the best out of 50 shots I swear…

So after family photos we stopped at Target, only to find out they were out of my prescription and it seemed after calling everywhere no one had it.  INCLUDING ME.  Hello people, those are my “happy pills” and don’t mess with the happy pills.  I could have sworn I had another bottle, but alas I didn’t, so I was in a panic.  I dug out some samples i had here and was able to pick up the script today… thank goodness for everyone around here, lol.  Anyhow, so after a wasted trip to Target we stopped at Lowes.  After that we got home, and I whipped out the gifts I had to have done for that afternoon and wrapped up the cheese ball I had made.  Then out again to my parents.  Keep in mind we had to be at my parents by 2pm at the latest.  As I said we left the photo place at noon.  You do the math.

Gotta love the holidays huh?  My answer is no.  I’m not big on this time of year.  It’s too much stress and has really become so stinkin’ commercial it kills me.  There had to be a bazillion people in Target when I went and it seemed like 90% of them were yelling at someone else.  It was a mad dash on people trying to get what they wanted as quickly as they could.  It didn’t matter to them what kind of carnage they left behind in the process.  It was a real nice display of good will to others I swear.

Ho Ho Ho and here is hoping that no one gets maimed in a return line this year.
