That's what I was thinking last night. I was moving her from one toy to another trying to keep her entertained and making my husband change her and everything else, so that I could get the stuff made and then I had to put her in bed and let her cry herself to sleep because she was fighting her sleep and I felt really bad that I wasn't able to spend more time with her than what I did.

Yeah.. and it makes a mom want to cry just thinking about it.

My daughters are 18 and 14. I am very thankful that the oldest isn't even considering marriage right now. She's more worried about getting her car paid for and getting a college education. I can live with that.

Good morning everyone....its cold and wet, and still dark outside!


I hope everyone has a great day....I am not awake yet so maybe I will come back later...in the mean time....

Good Afternoon! I am starting to feel the stress of "Christmas" come up on me! I am starting to think of all the bills I need to pay and of the gifts I still have yet to buy.....and of course the things my daughter wants that I can't find locally so I am looking online and freaking out over the shipping costs!!!! I love yet O so hate this time of year!!!

Sis I love you and hate to see you stressed like this. That is where you have to put the limits! Give yourself time and you still have plenty of it... She is little she will be happy with anything... I know as parents we long to get them just what they want but I have realized even with my older ones... its the thought that counts sincerely... They really dont care what they open on CHristmas morning as long as there is a gift there its happy!

Enjoy those babies this season! Thats the best gift you can give them You will be much happier and so will they in the long run.

I know...but I really want to get her this one thing she wants and it is like $30.00 but online and with shipping it ends up being almost $60.00!!!! Double the price!!!! But it is the only thing she is asking for and I know she would LOVE it! I just wish she would have told me sooner. I haven't bought her much yet because she would never tell me what she wanted and I had no clue what to buy her. I get tired of buying junk that she doesn't play with. Whenver we buy her less - but buy her things she really likes (like her gameboy) she really plays with them and I feel that we get our money's worth.
