Saturday!

Well, it was a good day. After I got Preston showered, Junior and I went to town, all by ourselves. We hit Dollar Tree, 2 thrift stores, and Walmart to return something. The lady in front of us was returning several of her little girls gifts. The poor greeter was having a time with all of her returns. I had to use the bathroom so Jr. waited in line. Well, the man printed out the return sticker but didn't put it on the tag of the boots we were returning. Junior handed me the bag with the boots in it and the sticker. Well, I didn't know there was a sticker and got the bag only. So when the lady had checked the item in and gave me a gift card then she asked about the sticker. So I must have left my wallet out laying on that little spot by the debit/credit card machine and went back to find the sticker which was on the floor. I came back and gave it to the lady and went on my merry way. When I got ready to check out, I didn't have my wallet. I about paniced! So we went to the office and as I thought, I had left it on that little shelf and the girl had turned it into the office. Whew! Sure did scare me! I was so afraid someone else had found it before she had. But all is well that ends well, I guess, but I think it took a few days off my life! Mine and the children's SS cards, all my ID, bank card, etc. would have been gone. Anyhow, thank the Lord that it was safe. Anyhow, we just enjoyed looking around and being alone. It is nice now that the children are older and we can do that.

Well, Christmas is over and I am so glad. Don't get me wrong; I love the reason for the season, but it is so over commercialized and a very hard time of the year for anyone with mental illness of any kind, including depression. So it can get a bit stressful for us. The day after Christmas, Missie and I took down the tree and packed what little decorations I had out, away. Now as my cousin's wife remarked on facebook, we only 364 days (363 as the time I write this) left until we do it all again. LOL

Today is my inlaw's 50th wedding anniversary, and can you imagine that I forgot to send a card? I am glad for the example they are to us; 50 years and hopefully many many more. Junior did talk to them on the phone.

My brother was talking about how much he spends at Christmas and has gotten me wondering what we spent. He thinks maybe $400-500 but I don't think so! I am going to figure it out! It will be interesting to know. But I know we didn't spend much, because we didn't have much to spend. He was talking about the gifts. Other than the children, we didn't buy for many. I haven't sent my mom or step-dad anything yet, and we sent my inlaws $25 Walmart gift certificate. I have to get something sent to my parents soon. They are so good to us.

So that is it for now! Tomorrow is the Lord's day.
