I feel like a bad mommy, we didnt forget too many things when packing for our trip but once we got here and had that first grab the camera moment, we realized we’d made a huge mistake. we brought the digital camera and charger for the rechargeable batteries but the memory card is home attached to the device to upload the pics to the puter. So no digital pics, I couldnt let myself spend $40 at walmart on another when we have 2 sitting at home. we got some one use kodak cameras but it just wont be the same. no pics for the webpage of bo’s first birthday day. I’m bummed about it.
I really wanted to go shopping today, we used to always go shopping on Black Friday, my mom and I but havent in years due to my health usually. this year I should have no excuses, main one though is that we dont have the money to spend since we needed money for this trip and the new van when we get home. other thing holding me back was I got a killer headache yesterday and even after 12 hours of sleep, I was in bed when bo was last night and stayed in bed til 8:30 this morning, it’s still killing me. Tylenol isnt doing a thing and sleep didnt help, I really am concerned I havent had a headache this bad in a long long time. so needless to say no mad shopping at 5 am for us today despite my desire to save bunches on christmas presents. After we got Bo down for nap though I convinced Dean to join me at Fashion bug so I could use a coupon I have and get a pair of maternity jeans. I got a sweater and pair of jeans for $20!! it was a sweet deal and I’m so excited! My mil said I should have plenty of maternity clothes, and for the 3rd time I should, had I not lost 20 some lbs between pregnancies. All of my maternity pants are still swimming on me, I already bought one pair and I love them but I need more than one comfy pair. So I’m excited about my new pants and sweater, esp. since it was such a good deal. but that’s all the shopping I’ll do today.
we’re going caroling tonight as part of the festival of lights at the cincy zoo and it sounds fun. Other than that no plans today or this weekend that I know of. I am hoping my head feels better soon but if meds arent helping nor sleep dont know what else I can do to make it better. well bo is napping and Caleb, MIL and a cousin are heading to mcdonalds for lunch so dean and I have time to eat lunch in peace. this house is rarely quiet, which isnt helping my headache at all, so I’ll go take advantage of the peace while I can.
