From The Past: November 13, 2003

Where have I been lately? Well, the weekends have been full since the end of October. We’ve been Christmas shopping like mad and we still aren’t near finishing! I have been keeping up with wrapping the presents. The problem is that they are everywhere: under the desk, on chairs, under chairs, in the hall, etc. We will be putting up our Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving, that’s our tradition, and then thank goodness, all of those presents will have a home and I will be happy. The sweatshirts that I talked about making in an earlier post; we still haven’t finished them. I just don’t know where the days go!

I took Ashley to the doctor on Tuesday. Come to find out, she has strep throat. It seems like she’s been sick more this year than ever before. I think it has a lot to do with this weird weather that we’ve had. Normally it doesn’t make it in the 70’s in November. This morning it was 35 degrees. That’s more normal, but will it stay this way for a while? Who knows!

Anyway, this weekend is shaping up to be another busy one. We have Christmas shopping and grocery shopping to do. Plus, my mom wants us to get together and make some candy. I haven’t really decided what I want to make yet, but when I decide, I’ll have to buy that too. I feel like I live in Walmart! When Kevin gets paid, we should just write them a check for half of his earnings; it’s what we end up doing anyway.
