I've Got Friday On My Mind

I am so tired I cannot lift my hand to cover my mouth when I yawn. What a day. I took the boys into see their grandparents while I escaped to go Christmas shopping. I bought two gifts, but remembered another person who will require a present, so I had an overall gain of one today. Still, it WILL get done by November 30th.

I also had to buy a birthday present today. The Senator got an invitation at school for a party on Saturday. Went to Target specifically to get said present. Walked out after spending $90. Drove away and realized I still didn't have the present. Sh*t.

After picking up the boys, I remembered that we also had to stop at the grocery store as we are having some preschoolers over for lunch tomorrow. The Governor was in an unpleasant mood, but we made it all the way to the checkout before the major tantrum. I was saved by the kind-hearted young woman behind us who started flirting with The Gov. 180 degree change on his part. Now he's laughing and playing peek-a-boo with her. I offered her a nanny position starting immediately, but she declined.

Got out to the car, drove away, and remembered I forgot the bread for the sandwiches tomorrow. Did I already say sh*t?

Came home to a mountain of laundry waiting to be folded. It even made The VP gasp to see how much I had accumulated.

And so, it's time for bed. When our guests arrive tomorrow, they will see a messy house, they will find their hostess still in her pajamas, and they will be eating sliced ham or turkey off of Ritz crackers. Nothin' but the best here at The Outpost.
