  1. Thank you HopeKy94 ... that is beautiful! I do wish our church had a similar mass, it would make going this year easier knowing that there is people in the same situation all around me. I guess in a way making it ok to cry if I feel.
  2. It seems like so many of us are in the same boat! And many of you made me cry! I will pray for peace for all of you too! I know for some it is easier to keep it bottled up, but I have tried that and it is not working so I appreciate being able to talk about it here!

    tokanm... I do that all the time! When will it stop?

    lcplwinkerswife... It was not often my father had a shirt on either, but my mom insisted on it on Christmas. LOL

  3. Black Friday is one of my favorite days of the year, usually. I love Gotta Deal and a proud owner of my own BF shirt along with one for my Daughter. I usually watch daily for the new ads and download ASAP. The actual day really starts my Christmas season! The boys stay home and hang the outside lights. My mother and I head out. Then when we are done, she hides some stuff she bought in the garage from my father - that way he has no idea what she actually spent.

    This summer my father suddenly passed away. He was an amazing man who was only 64 and a big grumpy teddy bear. I have NEVER had a Christmas with out him. He always came over before the kids woke or if they did wake up, they waited for their Nanny and Poppy to be here. Coffee for all of us adults and we start! He would sit at the dining room table, closest to the living room with his arsenal - Screwdrivers, scissors, box cutters ect... When the kids needed something opened, batteries put in or "some assembly" - they went to Poppy. Poppy could do anything and they knew it!

    So this year sucks! I miss him everyday! I am not sure how not to ruin Christmas for my children, but keep it low key so not only myself, but my mother and sister can get through it. This Thanksgiving my mother is flying to see my sister, so this will also be the first time ever with out both my parents for Thanksgiving. I am going to a friends.

    I know "it gets easier with time" and I know I must make this good for the kids - and I will.

    Everyone, please take the time this holiday to really enjoy the memories you make with your family! It is more than the gifts, it is who is cooking and who is making the coffee and who is hanging the lights and who is doing the "some assembly" and who eyes light up when they know Santa came!

  4. Found a ton of reallly reallllllly cheap angry birds stuff at www.focalprice.com

    It comes from China, so mot sure if it would make it by Christmas now though..... But I got my kids tons of stuff dirt cheap!

    Wow - really good prices on lots of stuff from that site, even Ipad covers. I would love to know if anyone else has used this site and if they had any problems.

  5. Actually I got them at Boscovs. But they are the same brand, name and description - and look exactly the same. Really, I don't give a negative response to something unless I am sure and I am SURE these suck. Most of the knobs were off in the first few months just because they strip so easily and with two long dressers, one tall dresser, the captain bed and the nightstand - I would say I have at least half of the drawers broken inside and three are broken completely.
  6. I Love Finding these deals!! Thank you to everyone for keeping me up to date of what is on clearance, it really helped me know what to look for. Went to two Targets so far, headed to third in a few minutes.

    I put the number from the receipts, I am not sure if that is the correct numbers.

    I also found 4 MM!!!! YAY!!! Awesome Day.

  7. First off - yes I know how the title sounds.

     

    I am trying to help a friend find this for a 9 year old little girl. I see it on Amazon but really do not know what it is and it is not available. And a CD? for $35. I am so confused on this one - he really wants to have a great gift and she said this was hard to get - boy is she right!

    Any help or suggestions?

     

    and why wouldn' the parents or managers of 12 and 14 year old girls change that Title!!

  8. we have had great luck with the animal shelter here. I would make sure to get a kitten that loves kids. We actually brought our daughter to look at kittens with us, and I was about to get one, but there was one that would let her hug him, and he just sat there, so we got him, and he has been great!

    I agree too - I think that the pet picks you. They know if they want to be part of your family. When we adopted Frankie he was the puppy that took to my son. He was all over him and they both Lit up. Other puppys came to him but this one insisted on being on his lap the whole time and they are close to this day.

    You just know, I guess that is what I am saying.

  9. PLEASE ONLY USE AN AMIMAL SHELTER - so many of them are put to sleep everyday, you would be saving his/her life! And I know the one near me let me pick up on Christmas Eve. Just go sooner and make sure you get through the wait time. They may check for Vet references so bring that information with you.

    Also it is nice to see what donations they might need. Sometimes it is blankets and towels that you may of just been throwing out anyway.
