Black Friday Blues Part II

While everyone else raced around trying to get the best price on whatever they were looking to buy,I slept in until noon,and then only got up to make brunch for my houseguests(my sister,her husband and their 2 yr old son)and spend some time with them before they headed back to Hampton Roads.I did get up at 4am to see my husband off to work and when he got home this afternoon,he relayed to me that there were people parking as far away as Chilis in Salisbury to shop at Walmart,at 5 am.Traffic heading towards the mall was backed up in the southbound lanes as far North as Barnes & Noble at this hour!Not me!If I absolutely have to take advantage of a Black Friday bargain I will just whip out the Visa card and let my fingers do the walking.I dont need anything bad enough to subject myself to that pandemonium.We had enough conflict at home with two toddlers!
And speaking of toddlers,my daughter doesnt get to see her cousins much because they all live in Virginia and she always wants them to come visit and play with her-then when they get here all they do is bicker-pushing,shoving,slapping and fighting over toys!Then when its time for them to go,she cries and wants them to stay!What is it with kids?My brother in law,who was an only child,doesnt understand it and its funny because as kids,his wife and I were closest in age so we shared a bedroom and we were at each others throats,throwing plates at each other,pulling hair,you name it-but you let someone else pick on either of us and it was ON!Isnt it funny how that works out?LOL
Now I have to tear myself away from the computer and clean up the mess so I can do it again the next holiday!
