Shortness Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I'm getting just like my mom apparently. After the kids did their stockings, I remembered I had a book for each of them that was supposed to go in them. Then, earlier today, I was cleaning my desktop and found the document that was a receipt of two Playstation games I had purchased... I had completely forgotten about them. So, today they got a couple Playstation games. Do any of you do things like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motoXmom Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 You all have NO idea how much better I feel knowing I'm not the only one! ROFL This is just too funny. This year one of my dads got mixed up with the IL's gifts so when I see him for New Years. And we always find things I stuffed here or there for the stockings or whatever. One year for our oldest sons Bday I couldn't find one of his music CD's we got him. I have the receipt but to this day can't find the CD. That was about 8 yrs ago! I know I had it but never found where I had put it. Oh well maybe one day if we ever move from here, I'll find it then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeninpa Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I forgot to put the M&M filled candy canes in their stocking,lol. I also forgot to give my DS12 a PS2 game but since his Bday was yesterday, he got it then! You are not alone, ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayhaysay Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Well kinda, last night as we were putting the stockings up I just stuck my hand in all of them to make sure Saydee hadn't stuck anymore play food in any of them (she's been doing this since I put them out ) and I found a tube of chapstick in the dog's stocking. It was wrapped in the wrapping paper that I used for Saydee LAST YEAR! So it's been sitting in there for a year and we never noticed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Dane Mom Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I'm sure I did. I just haven't found them yet. LOL I can't find a silly pair of glittens that I bought for my oldest daughter. I have no idea where I put them and she goes back to Virginia today. At least they're light weight to mail to her if and when I find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mynpyn Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Found a picture mousepad I had made for my mom the day after Christmas, so I will have to mail it out.

laffnatu Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 We didn't forget anything but we did save some stuff for our son. Hubby bought a bunch of xbox games while in Iraq. When he finally seen all the presents together, he decided to hang onto the games for awhile. So we'll probably give them to him 1 by 1 throughout the year or save them for Christmas next year. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I bought them and came home from the store with them....after that...?????????....See this is what happens to me! lol Sometimes I get a few small items, a little here a little there and when I get home from shopping I TRY to put them somewhere I'll remember but we all know how well that's working for me! We really need more storage in this house. We usually put the main stuff in the attic because there's just nowhere else to put it. So when I pick up those little things I can't keep running up into the attic to get them with the rest of the stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreaInNC Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 When my mom passed away in May, we found the ornaments she had bought for us a few years back that she had forgotten to give us. I finally just handed my kids a bunch of stuff Christmas night and said "I got tired of wrapping - here". It was meant as stuff to keep them busy in car trips .. etc .. so it was for everyone ..
