Lifes Like That

I realize that it’s only October, but it really is time to start thinking about Christmas and Christmas present shopping. Every year I agonize over what to get my father in law (he has everything). But I think I’m a head of the game this year. I have decided to get him some Swisher Sweets. I think he would really enjoy this type of gift. And I know it is something that he wouldn’t purchase for himself. So now that that decision is made, all I have to do now is figure out what to buy the three children. So once again I sit here wishing that Christmas was all done and over with so I wouldn’t have to drive myself nuts on what gifts to buy each of the family members.

I really thing that I’m finally done paying out money to the children’s schools for awhile. Over the past couple of weeks we have had to pay out a lot of money. Both the children need school fee money, both had their pictures taken, my daughter wants to take the babysitting course and both of them came home with fundraising notices. So this morning I sent both kids out the door with the last of the checks that were owed out. I really hope all this paying stops for a little while. After all, it will take me a little while to make some more money so I can turn around and hand it to the kids.
