The day starts with a call from a major credit card, seems that I forgot to pay for 2 months noww. OOPS! I need to send 75$ right away and then by december 22nd I need to pay 40$. Well why do you call to tell me to send 75? I basically need to send 115$, it's not like I'll win the lottery by the 22nd. SHEESH! Luckily I bought all the kids Christmas gifts back in July! I am SOOOOOO proud of myself for doing so. I have a Barbie doll and wasn't sure Zoe would be into that yet but she's been saying she'll ask Santa for a Barbie. What can I say, I'm lucky! ;-) Lucas is getting toy camping gear. I'm pretty sure he'll like it! :) Zoe is also getting a toy where she throws ball with velcro on them to a bullseye and the game collapses really small so it won't be in the way. Dh is also taken care of (I can't say what it is, he sitting right next to me! LOL!) Only need something for my mom but I'm planning to knit her a scarf out of chenille yarn I should get soon, it's in the mail from the States.
Today was the last day of the church sale. At the entrance we could buy a garbage bag for 5$ and go from table to table to fill it up with books, clothes and toys! I got a new "Canadian" style coat. I'm really pleased as I was just telling dh this week I wanted one. Not that I would've gone out to buy one but hey it was there to be put in my bag! ;-) Dh now has a new 100% lambswool sweater, very nice! :) Got some puzzles (if I ever have time to do some!), socks for hte kids, yarn for ME!!!! Also various pieces of clothing. Only the knitting needles were not included in the stuff your bag for 5$ sale! LOL! ;) So I bought the whole lot of needles for 2$ I already bought TONS on needles yesterday too but what do I loose at buying more at this price? Anyway I already had Crystal wanting a piece of my knitting lot! ;) As the sale was almost closing people gave the kids a few toys and balloons. We are so lucky and the kids were sure pleased! :)
After that dh and I went grocery shopping with Zoe. I'm pretty proud with what we bought, being that the money situation is getting tighter and tighter. I try to buy essential stuff only. We have many meals covered for this week though and tomorrow we will get some fresh fruits and veggies at the market. They always have GREAT prices, I can't wait to go, I LOVE grocery shopping!!!!!!! :)
Both kids were down for the night at 9PM!!!! This is really a miracle! LOL! Well Zoe didn't nap today so she didn't fuss too much when daddy told her it was night time at 08:30pm and then Lucas fell asleep nursing 30minutes after. It's now 10pm and I feel so relaxed just from the peace and quiet we have right now.
I'm going to start knitting socks soon! This is soooooooooo scary but Crystal's gonna help me! LOL! Of course tomorrow I bet she won't be online, hidding from me! LOL! ;) I'm so eager to start but terrified at having to work with double point needles! Oh well, I need to start knitting and get over my fear.
hugs.
