Run, run , run

    Oh what a day today has been.  Since the time change I have been waking up between 4 & 5.  Today, the one day this week I need to be somewhere in the morning, I sleep in until 7:00.  Ahhh!!  Time to scramble.  Get everyone up and fed and ready for bowling.  Then out the door by 8:30. 

    Once we made it to the boys bowling league things started looking up.  Both boys got new all time high scores and earned their 300 series badges.  It was so exciting!  And to top it all off this all happened on one of the qualifying days for the Pepsi Scholarship Tournament.  I can't wait to find out if they'll be going to districts.

    Then we headed out to do a little shopping.  JJ decided he would rather go to Grandma's and that he would be happy with whatever I bought him.  So Shane & I set out.  We needed a new winter coat for JJ, boots for me, and Shane was buying a Nintendo DSi XL.  He had been saving up for it for nearly a year and was just about ready to burst with excitement.  First we stopped at Target.  Hello coat for JJ.  We also found the new Harry Potter movie so I picked that up for the boys for Christmas.  Then we headed to Game Stop.  Shane proudly marched up to the counter and asked for a DSi XL.  He chose a blue one.  Then he sat his bank on the counter, pried off the lid and began to count out the correct amount of money.  It took a little while because it was mostly in ones and change.  I'm so proud of him for choosing to save his money for something that he really wanted and not just letting it burn a whole in his pocket as soon as he got it.

    Finally we went to Boscov's for my boots.  Shane was such a good little shopper.  Boscov's was a zoo!  They were having a one day sale on shoes, buy 1 pair get the 2nd pair for $1.99.  It was a great deal and I think every women in Butler county was trying to get in on it.  After a little searching I found what I was looking for.  Mission accomplished.

    We ran out to Mom & Dad's to pick up JJ.  Then we headed for home.  Poor Sally had been waiting nearly all day for us.  We had a quick supper before Jeff had to get to sleep.  His company started delivering on Sundays now, so he'll have to get up for work in the middle of the night tonight.  I have just enough time to clean up the kitchen and get a load or two of laundry done before I have to put the kids to bed and head there myself. 

    I thought that the weekend was supposed to be a time to rest, but really Saturday & Sunday are far more hectic than  Monday - Friday are for us.
