Black Friday

Whew, we survived Thanksgiving!!! The only bit of leftovers we got to bring home though was a whole pumpkin pie and a few dinner rolls. I don't think that's too awful bad considering how many people were there in that LITTLE house!! Ok, here's the head count....our clan consisted of 7 (Jon and Brit didn't come because they didn't want to be late, I think they slept in too late), brother-in-law Ted was there with his 3 kids, brother-in-law Terry was there with his 2 sons AND his ex-wife came too (odd), niece Michelle came with her boyfriend and their 8 month old, BEAUTIFUL baby Breanna...OMG, I was in heaven holding her, she was soooooooooooo sweet!!!! Mother-in-law and her hubby of course were there since it was at their house ;). Sis-in-law Lynette and her hubby, Terry, showed up too with their tribe of 6.

The evening was quite normal as far as large family gatherings go. That is, until later in the evening, Christen went over to gramma and told her that her foot got wet on her bed, (gramma has a waterbed) it seems that the capacity for a waterbed is not condusive with the amount of grandkids that were on it. YES, the bed sprung a leak. That did cause quite a bit of excitement!!! I think that Dale was not too happy with this turn of events, Virginia however didn't seem to think it was too big of a tragedy, she was surprised that it didn't happen sooner.

Now, getting to Black Friday. Last night I felt ambitious to get up early and go hit the stores and get some incredible deals. Well, I was awake at 5:45, looked at the clock, rolled over and went back to sleep until 8:15. I then got up, got Ben up and went to get Em, but she was already up and getting ready to go. We only went to WalMart, but there was still a few good deals there. The laptop that I wanted was already sold out. That's not too surprising considering that it was only $398. Oh well, I guess it just wasn't meant to be. Another deal, another time. Em twisted my arm and made me go to the new McD's for breakfast. You just can't beat a good cholesterol filled breakfast at McD's.

I guess I have to quit for now because it's time to take the child_unit to work. I think I may get a movie to watch this evening too since I'm all alone tonight and can have control of the tv!! WOO HOOO!! hehehe.

Y'all celebrate the day!
Love Ya :)
