The end of another week is here. It has went by so fast. This week ends without me with an upset stomach but I have a bad cold. At least I can hold by head up and do some house work. I have a lot of catching up to do on just the every day chores.

I went to the store this morning to get some tree decorations. Of course all the decorations were gone except for the ones no one would put on a tree. That means I will be digging through all my stored christmas decorations this weekend. I am going to do my best to throw things away and get down to maybe two boxes of sentimental keepsakes.

I am no where close to finishing my gift buying. It is hard when you have to limit the amount for each purchase. I am just giving to my sons and daughterinlaws and K of course. I have only decided on and bought for the daughterinlaws. It is so much easier choosing something for girls instead of boys. I would love to find something special for my mom and dad who have helped us so much this year. I would like to be able to just buy what I want and not look at the price tag. I wanted to get K an electric blanket because he stays so cold and no matter how many blankets I put on him he can't get warm. I looked at them this morning and was shocked that they are so expensive. The cost will pay for a month of one of his prescriptions.

I know christmas isn't about gifts but old habits die hard.
