This morning, I took the girls out to do their Christmas shopping. I had to stand in the corner of the store for part of it, but I got to watch some. It was so cool to see them put a lot of thought into what gift was a good match for each person they bought for. Then, it was time for a surprise for them.
I had a $25 gift card for Applebees that a customer sent to me. We didn't get to eat big, but we split an appetizer sampler, and were all quite satisfied when we left. From there, we headed to WalMart. Yes, I went to WalMart on Christmas eve, and I didn't even kill anyone! I would have, but the kids were with me.
I only needed a few things, so it didn't take long. After getting home, the girls ran down to their rooms to wrap their presents. It's killing them, trying to wait until morning for us to see what they got us. They're excited for Grandma and Grandpa to see theirs, too.
I relaxed for a while, then got to work on tomorrow's dinner. I made two big pans of lasagna, so tomorrow, all we have to do is put them into the oven. I'll let mom decide if we're eating here or there. Sometimes, there is more to do at their house, and they would usually rather hang out there. Kevin and Dad can find some project in the shop, I'm sure.
OK, now that everything necessary is done for the night, I'm on my butt once again. I swear, if I was unemployed, I would weigh 400 lbs.
Time for a snack, asthma attack. (I don't know, but the rhyme and rhythm were right.)

I hollered to Cliff, "Rachel made lasagna!"
He answered, "Good girl!"
It'll be our last hoorah.
