Busy...busy...busy...

This has been a long week. I substituted at our church's preschool 2 days this last week and Elizabeth went to her school as usual so she got up early 4 days this week and on Thursday it definately showed. She was really tired. So was I.
This week is going to be even busier. Tomorrow is my grandmother's Christmas. Monday I sub again at preschool. Elizabeth will go to school Tuesday and Thomas will go to his one-day school (and have their party) while I am at bible study and having our Christmas luncheon. Wednesday nothing but laundry and shopping for stuff to make my takes to everyones Christmas. Thursday school again for Elizabeth. Friday my dad's Christmas, Saturday my in-laws Christmas, Sunday my mother's Christmas and Monday our Christmas.
Cody and I have decided that to help remind us all what Christmas is all about, before we open our presents we are going to have a cake and sing Happy Birthday to Jesus and thank Him for all He has blessed us with.
God bless you all, have a great Christmas and a blessed New Year!!!

My new favorite store

Okay, some may not enjoy the experience as much as I do or even spend the amount of time doing it as I do....but I LOVE going to the grocery store. I go down every aisle....very slowly, making sure I don't miss a single item (you never know what you might have forgotten on you list or what might just catch your eye). It is usually at least a 2 hr job. Rian used to make fun of me...he said instead of going to the grocery store he would just shop my pantry. I don't like being caught without something when I need it. You never know when you might need a large amount of cream of mushroom soup.
Anyhow....we have a new United Supermarkets Market Street just down from my house. It also has a mini "taste of" market street that has a drive thru - for those time you just need milk or even a new hot ready made supper for 4 (or even 2).
My mother took the kids to the mall so I could enjoy the experience without interruption. Plus, they wouldn't have fit in the basket with my groceries. It was really nice, big and for as many cars that were outside, it didn't really feel crowded.
I hope you all get to experience it soon. Are we not blessed in this country to have such luxuries? One more thing that I am grateful for.
God bless and have a great weekend.
