MY MOM AND MOTHER-IN LAW JOAN AND I DECIDED WE WERE GOING TO HAVE A GIRLS DAY OUT TODAY! NO KIDS! WOW...NO KIDS...WHATS THAT? I HAVE NOT BEEN WITHOUT AT LEAST ONE OF MY KIDS SINCE JAYCIE WAS BORN, SO SAY 8 MONTHS! SO NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS COMPLETELY LOST ALL DAY! GENE WATCHED THEM! WE FIRST WENT TO THE CARDINAL CHRISTMAS THING AT THE BRIGHTON HIGH SCHOOL! THAT WAS FUN, LOTS OF VENDORS! CUTE STUFF BUT DIDN'T BUY ANYTHING! AFTER THAT WE HEADED TO OLIVE GARDEN TO EAT! THAT WAS AWESOME!  SEE GENE AND I JUST DON'T GO OUT TO EAT MUCH AT ALL ANYMORE! ITS JUST NOT WORTH IT WITH TWO KIDS! ITS JUST SO STRESSFUL THAT I DON'T GET TO ENJOY MY MEAL AT ALL SO WE JUST DON'T DO IT! USUALLY WE ORDER OUT AND JUST BRING IT HOME SO THAT WAY OUR CHILDREN CAN SCREAM AS MUCH AS THEY WANT AND RUN AROUND AND WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE LOOKING AT US! SO ANYWAY WE REALLY ENJOYED OUR MEAL TOGETHER TODAY! AFTER THAT WE HEADED TO THE MALL! MACY'S WAS OUR FIRST STOP AND BOY DID WE RACK UP! WE GOT SO MANY CUTE THINGS! I TOLD THEM I WILL HAVE TO DRESS MY KIDS UP AND TAKE THEM SOMEWHERE EVERY DAY THE MONTH OF DECEMBER FOR THEM TO GET TO WEAR ALL OF THEIR CHRISTMAS STUFF WE HAVE BOUGHT! SERIOUSLY THEY HAVE AN OUTFIT FOR EVERYDAY IN DECEMBER! A LITTLE CRAZY BUT Oh SOOOO CUTE! WE COULDN'T RESIST!!! SO IF YOUR LOOKING FOR CUTE CLOTHES GO TO MACY'S! WE DID GET SOME CLOTHES FOR AFTER CHRISTMAS TOO! OKAY THEN WE HEADED TO BABY GAP AND SOME OTHER STORES! THEN WE WENT TO THE BOOKSTORE!

SEE WHEN WE WERE LITTLE WE ALWAYS HAD AN ELF AT OUR HOUSE AND MY GRANDMOTHERS HOUSE WATCHING US AT CHRISTMAS TIME! WELL NOW THEY HAVE COME OUT WITH THESE ELF ON A SELF THING THAT HAS AN ELF AND A BOOK TO GO WITH IT! WELL MY MOM DECIDED TO GET ONE FOR CARTER FOR OUR HOUSE! SEE MY MOM HAS ALREADY HAD ELF'S AT HER HOUSE FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS NOW.THEIR NAMES ARE ELFIE AND JOLLY! IT HAS REALLY CHANGED CARTER'S ATTITUDE!  IT HAS REALLY MADE HIM START ACTING GOOD! ITS AMAZING HOW GOOD THEY START ACTING WHEN THEY KNOW AN ELF IS WATCHING THEM! SO OUR ELF NAME IS SPARKY AND WHEN MY MOM GETS ME ANOTHER ONE FROM HER COLLECTION ITS NAME IS SNOOKY !  I FOUND A WEB SITE, HERE , THAT IF YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THIS THING IT WILL GIVE YOU YOUR ELF'S NAME. SO I PUT CARTER'S NAME IN AND JAYCIE'S NAME IN AND THAT'S THE NAMES IT GAVE US! SO AWESOME!!! 

SO EVERY NIGHT IT GOES TO THE NORTH POLE TO REPORT TO SANTA AND THEN IN THE MORNING IT IS SITTING SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE HOUSE. SO TONIGHT IT IS SITTING UP THERE BY THE PICTURE.

WELL IF YOU KNOW ME, YOU KNOW I HAVE NEVER LIKED COFFEE! NEVER LIKED ANYTHING THAT EVEN TASTED LIKE COFFEE! WELL I GUESS HAVING TWO KIDS, MY HORMONES ARE ALL CHANGED AND WILD! WELL I HAVE BEEN CRAVING COFFEE THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS! WELL TODAY WE WENT TO STARBUCKS AND GOT PEPPERMINT MOCHA'S AND OH MY GOSH IT WAS HEAVEN!!! MY NEW ADDICTION!!!! IT WAS SOOOOOOOOO WONDERFUL!
