Black Friday

This is my third year in a row, would've been easier if I weren't 8 months prego...

10:45pm: arrive home from my cousin's in VA from a yummy Thanksgiving dinner. I ate way too much...not enough room as it is...what was I thinking going back for 2nds?

11:20pm: crawl into bed with a serious belly ache

2:15am: Startle myself awake with severe heart burn

3:00: More heart burn

3:15: Wesley comes over to our bed for some leg cramp relief

3:30: More heart burn, finally roll out of bed, slither down to the kitchen for some tums

4:45: Austin starts coughing

5:00: More coughing. I get up, put Vicks rub on his feet (which I don't think works), give him a Nyquil and cough drop

5:05: Austin is crying that he wants to sleep with mama. I get Jared out of bed, he tucks him back in while I lay in bed

5:10: OUT THE DOOR! Can't handle the heartburn, belly aches, or Austin's coughing. OFF TO SHOP I GO

5:30: Arrive at Wal-Mart parking lot. Circle several times to finally get a spot at the Target store across the huge parking lot.

5:35: Inside the store where there is an anthill of people. I am fully layered with my coat and sweats on b/c of the 35 degree weather, but it is HOT and STUFFY inside. No cart for me, too big to manuveur...my belly is enough to get around!

5:38: Quickly take glances at what people are purchasing and what is going fast. I want to know what is on SALE and what is a MUST have for this crazy morning! I learned quick.

5:40: No more Leapsters! That is why I went so early! I spot one out of place, a PINK one nontheless, but no worries, Wesley can adjust or later on I will swap it out for green.

6:30: Back in line, sweaty, hot, feeling contractions, loaded up with DVD's, remote control cars, and DVD's for my kids. Can't wait to get some fresh air. $100 spent (not bad considering all I got!)

6:35: Head over to Target...nice cool air! Leapster games are on sale...$15 bucks vs. $30! Load up on a few, get some more board games, playdough (only $6 for a 24 pack) and DVD's.

6:45: A much smaller wait in line, not as sweaty and less crowded.

7:00: Walk over to Best Buy. Two words: BODY ODOR. It smelled so nasty! Took a quick browse, but wasn't interested in the Wii or X-Box, etc. My boys are fortunately too small to care.

7:15: Walk over to Kohl's. Line is literally 2 HOURS wait, wrapped around completely to the other side and back again. Nothing is worth waiting that long for! I can get all of that stuff through DirectBuy anyway:)

7:45: Back at home. Boys are up and rummaging through the fridge. Lay back down for 1/2 hour while kids run and make lots of noises.

10:45: Here at work once again!

Overall, a pleasant experience. I am glad my Christmas list is done (as well as Wesley's b-day on the 30th). Now Jared and I need to think of gifts for each other, then I am done! Feels good:)
