Those of you who talk to me regularly know how ready I feel to move on from this house, but there is something that is still very comforting about being under our own, familiar roof. Staying the night at my parents was very warm and comfortable as well, and if this wasn’t home, that is a close second. But its good to be back, out of the van and off the icy highway. Its good to be home.
My mom and I lead music this morning at church, and from what I hear, people really enjoyed it. I find that the one handicap of being at the piano. Its hard to see out into the crowd. But thats probably good for the ego too, so I’m not complaining! After church, we had a really delicious lunch with my parents before hitting the road. Brady and I took the kids into the city really quickly just for a couple of things. Brady is having issue with a knee so he hit up Walmart for a brace. Dekker can NOT be kept in the van and out of Walmart so they went together. Laela napped in the van with me. Our next stop was London Drugs, where I picked up a nice full length mirror for myself, and one for my bestie, Jessica. Not sure when I’ll see her next, but she knows whats coming to her! I have to say, the staff at London Drugs right now is unbelievably good!! Someone sought me out and asked what I was looking for, went into the back, and actually brought me the boxes on a cart with a guy to help me bring them to my vehicle. It was efficient and I didn’t have to wander and get frustrated first! Win! Two salted caramel mochas later, we were on the road.
I was totally blessed this evening when Brady fed the kids and played with them until bedtime, while I sat in bed and got some SOLID online Christmas shopping done. I really don’t have many chances to shop in person left this season, and while I still need to find some of that, I got a nice chunk of my shopping taken care of this evening, and that lightens the load a lot!! Its all en route to my parents house. Just a handful of things left to find time to pick up. But I’m feeling incredibly successful!
Also, I feel hungry. Time to find supper, and it has to be one that can be eaten in the bathtub. Is that strange? Ya, it probably is, but I’m over that. I’m hungry!!
Is everyone else done Christmas shopping? Am I the only one behind?!?!?!
