I was stunned today for two different reasons. The first of the three packages my friend, Carol, sent me for Christmas got here. It was so totally unexpected that I was almost speechless. She sent me a *six pack* of my absolute favorite cinnamon tea! Six boxes of them! I thought that was so sweet of her. The note enclosed said she hoped this warmed my heart to my hackles, so to speak. LOL!
The second thing she sent to me was a Walmart E-card so that I can buy the little ones gifts for Christmas. She doesn't want me to give her any credit for it although I told her I would do that, without hesitation, because the BIG kids would understand and the little ones wouldn't think anything of it. She really wanted me to keep this a secret but....I'm sorry.....it's just such a generous thing for her to do. I hope if she reads this (she sometimes reads my blogs) that she doesn't get mad at me. My blog is also the fastest way for me to let my kids here know (that includes you, too, Tara) that the little ones DO get gifts from Grandma this year!!! Just have a bottle of Bailey's for me and I will be happy.....LOL!
I guess I will go shopping on Thursday or Friday, without the Beast, of course, and try to decide what to buy them. I have a vague idea but have to see if Walmart carries the one thing. I think I will check with the Princess to see what they got for Chewlee and Gunner before I end up duplicating something. If Walmart has what I have in mind for Chance, I'll call Tara before I buy it just to make sure she hasn't bought it for him.
It's cold outside but my room is nice and warm so I will be heading for bed as soon as I post this. The Beast has been suffering lately from nose bleeds. Of course, he says it's the heat doing it (he DOES have a deviated septum the dr. told him last year) but I think it's because he's not taking his blood pressure pills again. Why he thinks taking them when his blood pressure is a bit high one day instead of taking them regularly, only God knows. He can be truly dumb at times just because he hates to think he's dependent on pills every day. It's why women outlive men, I swear.
Love you all. Stay warm, dry and enjoy your Hump Day! ***Hugs***
