I really believe that holidays bring out the best AND worst in people. When we are home by the fire, the best...when we are out in the insane crowds shopping and getting hit in the ankles with carts and being cut off by crazy moms in mini vans- the absolute worst. I use to get some sort of sick thrill of being in the middle of the mall with fifty thousand other crazy shoppers all searching for the same thing. It used to be an adrenaline rush. Now i think people who enjoy are slightly ill. :)
I took vaughn out shopping today (on her two month birthday by the way) forgetting what it was like. See, im one of those women who are usually nearly done by Thanksgiving...and now i remember why. Sweet vaughnie did AMAZING....she didnt wake up one time. I dont know how she could sleep through all the noise and music and lights...but she did. I am blessed for that because i think a screaming baby may have put me over the edge. After driving around the mall parking lot for 30 minutes, i not only realized how crazy i was, but that i really hated this part of the holidays.
I met rudy in town to go to target and them met up with my brother, maria and kendal and her friend. We went to dinner and all had a good time hanging out.
All in all it was an EXHAUSTING day and I am realizing that NOTHING in that mall is worth dealing with that mess ever again. I will do online ordering or stick to target. Ba Humbug.
