First, I want to say that I think I am over the flu. I did not go to a doctor, but I came to the conclusion that I have had the flu for the last 5 days. Please pray with me that the kiddos and Mr. OverKill will remain healthy. My in-laws have been very helpful in caring for the children while I was in the worst of it.
While laying on the couch for three days, all by myself (can I just tell you how weird that was…) I started thinking about Christmas a little bit. I’m not sure what our plans are for this year, but I need to start planning gifts now, so that we can have a happy “Cash Christmas.” Many times, I will sneak in a little shopping on our annual November getaway. But, I was thinking that this year, I may need to start shopping a bit sooner, considering the current financial situation. But, shopping early means planning early, which means I have to get my brain working…sigh…
I guess its frustrating (in a good way) this year. Even though we have had a slow year, business-wise, we have been so blessed. Right at this moment, I can’t think of anything that the kiddos need or want that would be good for them. I was thinking it would be awesome to take the kids to Disney and camp at Ft. Wilderness….but yeah, that’s a chunk of change. We’ve been waiting to take the kiddos until they were actually old enough to remember it. Here’s the hitch, we are rapidly approaching the age where the “magic” won’t quite be the same….hmm…
Anywho, all that to say over the next few weeks I will be posting some frugal Christmas ideas on The Frugal Frazzled Mama, so keep your eyes pealed.
