Entry for November 24, 2006 And the madness is over
Duck wanted to go to Menards for the sale today....well needless to say, he said that he would never do that again. We were about 3 blocks away and he made the comment, "Men don't get up at 5:30 in the morning to go shopping." Then we went to pull up, and there were people parking in the grass across the street and blocks away. He decided he would NEVER do this again. Thankfully we pulled up as someone was leaving close to the door. Talk about LUCK. We went in, there were no carts so we had to carry sunshine through the store to get the stupid saw. We got the last one on the shelf and then decided to head for the check out. The place was a complete mad house. We then headed to Biglots, and NADA. Their deals were so terrible, we did get some house shoes for MC and some more tupperware for quick meals. Then it was off to Walley World. Where we got our Christmas presents for eachother. Some we will wrap, and some we gave eachother at the checkout. I still have 2 presents to buy, both for kids. Sunshine did very well, he wanted to take his pillow in and rested most of the time. We did pick him up another Christmas present, he played with it all the way through the store and forgot about it when we got into the car. I love shopping with him at this age.
Yesterday we went to K & G's house so Duck could help G put up the fence. It was a fun day, we chased the chickens and the kids for hours. I felt sorry for K, she didn't feel very well and was so hospitable. I had a great day, but Sunshine decided that he didn't want to eat what she was serving, which was a delicious oven baked lasagna. I hate it that we had to eat and leave, but I feel awful that he was so upset that he was screaming the whole time. I don't know what it is about eating at other people's houses, but he just doesn't want to do it. Maybe next time she can serve dinner in the car. We left so no one had to hear him continually crying and upset. I felt bad, but I can't stand to hear him crying so much either, none the fact that I can't seem to shake this headache that seems like it has been here for 2 weeks now. We are really going to work on getting him to sit and eat at the table.
Well I need to get up and get some things done, perhaps more later.
