Black Friday

So this year I agreed to brave the crowds with a girlfriend of mine and go out at 3:15 am on Friday morning (in the rain) to Walmart and Target (not sure why we went to Target since I didn't need anything) in search of Christmas gifts.

So here I am outside in the freezing cold rain outside so that I can fight, push, shove, run, just to get my child a Nintendo DS. Well once those doors opened all hell broke loose and here we were running through Walmart to find the DS which they placed in the food section of the store apparently to throw everyone off. (Did I mention that I am now 6 months pregnant) LOL....

We finally found the DS and she got 2 and I got my 1 that I came there for. We then proceeded to find a cart and do some serious shopping and all the while I am thinking to myself "I am to old, tired, and pregnant for this" You would have thought that they were giving things away with the way people were carrying on in there.

It's 6:00 am and we are on our way out of Walmart and my GF decides that she would loveeeeeeeee to go to Target too... So me being the team player I agree and follow her in my car there all the while wishing I could go home and get back in my bed. We get to the mall where Target is located and bam there are so many people there in the lines alone I literally wanted to turn around and go running back to my car and go home. But no I stay out with her and we go through the store and grab a few things...On our way out of there which was about 45 min after we got there she asks if I want to go to Toys R Us with her and me in my polite way declines.

So we go our separate ways and on my drive home I make a mental note to myself "Do not go out on Black Friday for 2010"

Fruit cups

These fruit cups have become something that I love but my one complaint is that every time I open one with out fail the juice spills out. I have tried to hold it at an angle while opening these things, but I have not had any luck.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to open these things without spilling the juice out?

Halloween

Today I come into work and a few of my coworkers are showing pics of their kids in their Halloween costumes and I feel like the worst mother in the world because not only did I not take any pics of my kids in their costumes, we didn't even carve a pumpkin this year. I think my brain is fried to be completely honest with all that I have going on.

I will say it over and over again I need about 3 of me to keep up with my crazy life.

As for Halloween we had a blast. I was invited to go over to my girlfriend's house and then do trick-or-treating in her neighborhood with her family and a family friend. Usually we just go in my neighborhood and then go back home. But with them it was an adventure that the kids loved. We got tons and tons of candy and the kids were actually really good this year about being on a strict 3 candy a day restriction. (I of course had to hide their buckets)

Note to self: Next year just grab a pumpkin from the grocery store for the kids to carve.
