Four more days and then life can go back to normal for a while. I am looking forward to Christmas day and seeing the family, but I will be glad the craziness of holiday shopping will be over. The malls are packed, as are all of the Walmart and other big store of that nature. People are short of time and patience and it is very telling. I was happy that I only had to pick up a couple of things when I went out today. Even still, the lines were unbelievable. It took me an hour to get in and out of the Walmart and I didn’t even have a cart full of stuff. I think I will have a nice soak tonight.
Keeping My Son From Losing His Things
I really love my child, but my son keeps losing his things. Somehow he managed to misplace his jacket at school, and this was not the first time that he did something like this either. He also managed to lose his shoes. How does a person lose their shoes? The answer to that question still escapes me to this day, and it really does not matter because it happened. What I need to do now is focus on trying to prevent him from losing his things. This is starting to get rather expensive!
I sat down and had a long drawn out talk with my son, but we all know how that goes. I am not even sure if he was listening to me. For some reason, kids seem to have this natural ability to tune their parents out. I don’t remember doing this to my parents, but I think I must have. It must be some kind of built in defense mechanism. Then it dawned on me. I needed to start using name labels for kids. This may not prevent my son from losing his things, but it certainly would make it a lot easier to find the items that he keeps losing.
With a label, I would not need to depend on my son to not lose his things. I could handle every single bit of it myself, and all I needed was something as simple as a label. So now it was up to me to find a label that I could use to label everything that my son owned. I had a plan.
Luckily I did not have to look very far. I found stuck on you and labelcity.com. They had a wide assortment of great labels that I could choose from. Now it was only a matter of getting a bunch of labels and adding the everything that my son owned.
Used cars in Irving
My cousin is looking for used cars in Irving. His old beater finally gave up the ghost and now is not the optimum time for a new car. So he will have to buy a new to him car. There is nothing wrong with that. The cost is a lot less and if it is cheap enough he wont even need financing. Some places have in house financing though and that is a plus. Whenever you do not involve a bank it is a good thing. They seem to make the paper work much harder and take longer to accept them. Oh well, I am sure he will find exactly what he needs and wants.
One thing left
I only have one thing left to buy for Christmas. I am very thankful for that, because I am tired of having to shop, shop, shop and wrap, wrap, wrap. I know that sounds horrible, but if you had to do as much I have done, you would feel the same way too. Sometimes I can get one of the older kids to help me but it is not always a good idea for them to know what everyone else is getting for Christmas. They have a tendency to blurt stuff out that you don’t want known. It’s a typical kid thing and there is nothing you can do for it, but not allow them to know what you don’t want known. Hehehe.
Wedding decorations
Well more of the wedding decorations keep coming in through the mail. It seems like every day we have a ton of packages. Plus with the holidays, there are Christmas presents coming in for the kids as well. I have to keep them from opening everything that comes in. Their grandmother has ordered stuff online and just had it shipped to us. I have to wrap it and then put her name on them, so the kids know that she got them something.
Wow, there are a lot of packages under the tree already and so much more to get for various family members. I am already exhausted. I love the holidays, but I also love when they are over.
A Guide to Buying Fragrances for Your Loved One
Is your loved one a hard person to shop for when the holiday season comes around? When you go shopping with your partner, are they always undecided as to which products they should choose? If you are having a difficult time trying to shop for a gift for your loved one, then you need to consider buying Levata perfumes importados. If your loved one enjoys wearing perfume or cologne, then they will definitely like the gift that you choose from this perfume website. You cannot go wrong with a gift that smells good and makes them smell wonderful. There is a large selection of imported and popular colognes and perfumes that you can choose from on the internet and you can even get the product shipped to your doorstep before the holidays end. But first, you need to know a few guidelines on how to buy fragrances for your loved one.
Ask What Your Loved One is Wearing
One way to find out what type of perfume or cologne your loved one is wearing is to ask them what makes them smell so good. This is a quick and easy way to find out what type of perfume or cologne your loved one is wearing. The reason you need to know what type of fragrance they are wearing is that you can research it online and find out what type of fragrances that make up the perfume. Once you find out what type of fragrances make up the perfume that your loved one wears, you can search for imported perfumes with the same scents and undertones. That way, you’ll end up finding a perfume that your loved one will enjoy because it’ll be similar to the one that they are currently wearing. The only difference is that it is imported and exotic because you are buying it from a different country.
Look for Affordable Prices
You need to steer clear from local department stores and retailers that sell perfume and cologne because they will charge you the full retail price. These stores never place their fragrances on sale and you will end up overpaying for a product that you could buy at a decent discount online. You can find online perfume retailers that sell their products at wholesale discounted prices so you can save up to half off the regular retail price. Levata perfume’s website offers excellent discounts on all their imported perfumes and colognes.
Set the Scene
Now that you ordered the product online and you just received it in the mail today, you need to figure out how you want to give the gift to your loved one. If it is during the holiday season, you can wait until their entire family is crowded around them so they can all see the fantastic gift you bought them. Or you can create a romantic setting and hand their gift to them after you cook them dinner. These are a few ways you can give the wonderful gift of exotic and imported perfumes to your loved one.
Almost done
Phew! I am almost done with the Christmas shopping. I went this morning and bought a few of the things my son mentioned the last time we were at Wally world. The older he gets the harder it is to shop for him. That is why I usually make a trip to the store with the kids and watch them as the browse and constantly ask me for one thing or another. Works great every time. I already had the the little guy taken care of with all but one thing I picked up today. The older ones are just a little bit more difficult as they transition out of childhood and into young adult or preteen. I think I have this all covered though. Now I just have to wait for my next check and get the last thing for my older son, some stuff for the girl and my man. Then viola’! I will be done. Unfortunately my last check doesn’t come in until Christmas eve. Grrrrr
Wedding flutes
I found the loveliest Wedding flutes for the toasting. They are an absolute necessity for any wedding. I still have mine from my wedding to the kids father. I will pass them down to my daughter someday. She says that she will use them at her own wedding when she grows up. I cannot wait until the day comes when we can plan her wedding, even though I don’t want her to grow up yet. One day I will look up and that will have happened already. I know that it will seem like it happened over night, because it seems like yesterday when she was born. She is already halfway to womanhood and I begin to feel old, just looking at how much she has grown and changed.
Personalized napkins as well
We found out we can get personalized napkins as well. Now we just have to decide what we want them to say. I am of the opinion that we should have the bride and grooms names and the date of the wedding on there. That way they can also serve as a type of favor to remember the wedding by. She is not so sure. She said that it would be nice to have something humorous on them, like random sayings or something like that. They don’t have to be really expensive or anything, just another little touch that says something about the event.
We can get them in different sizes too, like smaller ones for cocktail napkins, ones for the tables and possibly some for the restrooms. It is something to think about anyway. We don’t have to decide on them right away. There is plenty of time after all. I have downloaded a few pictures and printed them out for the wedding file for potential buys. I have another folder for the stuff we have already bought as well. We both have duplicate copies of both files and everything in them. I am trying to stay as organized as possible.
Wine wedding favors
Oh these are really cool. They are Wine wedding favors that are wine stoppers with heart shapes at the top of them. They are really classy. There are several different styles, like the snow flake one, or the one that looks like a martini glass. I didn’t know that there were this kind of wedding favors available. I told you that I am obsessed with the wedding favors. I just keep finding all kinds of neat stuff. My kids think I am crazy because I keep looking through them, but I don’t mind. If I ever get married again, I will have a good idea of what I want for that wedding.
I already know that I would want an elegant wedding, not just your run of the mill one. I have so many ideas, that my daughter will be hard pressed when she grows up to be able to plan her own wedding without my interference. That sounds bad, but I mean it in a good way. After all, I am a mother and we only want what is best for our children. Nothing but the best is good enough for mine and I freely admit it. Okay, back to work. Later gators!
