I know, it’s been days. So unlike me, but also different, this holiday season. Why, with a toddler, a husband that’s never around, work and trying to shop since I royally fucked up by waiting so long how could I possibly find time to write about it, when I have little time to even complete said tasks.
Yes, I’ve FINALLY finished, as of 10am this morning I had the last of my stocking stuffer items and presents (Thank you WalMart).
Yesterday was spent driving around the entire day trying to locate a Construction City for a spoiled rotten much loved toddler.
This fuckin’ thig weighs about 80lbs and I struggled with it, ALONE, since I had depended on someone else to pick it up waited and waited until the last possible moment to get it. After driving around to three different Costco it was located and nearly left behind as I fought with it for better part of an hour trying to get it in my car. Twisting, pulling, pushing, stopping and swearing, then twisting, pulling and pushing again. Cursing children, their toys, their fathers and even Baby Jesus.
Best part? I had my passenger door open, therefore blocking the parking space beside me. You know that people would sooner drive past the spot and find a further one before helping someone OBVIOUSLY having trouble.
Fuckers.
Too bad I just look fat instead of pregnant otherwise (I’m hoping) I would have had some help or could at least justify my screaming and swearing.
But my spoiled brat beloved wonderful toddler will be so excited to see his wonderful gift come Christmas morning. Dammit, he better be after that friggin’ episode.
And in 5 days it’s off to Sin City to find me some good sin.
Sad to see that the milk of human kindness does extend to ‘large’ women struggling with even larger shopping items this time of year. Probably just as well to admit defeat and enjoy a bit of sinning.
Cheers

We had been fighting to get into the Christmas spirit this year. While Alexis was at work at Williams and Sonoma yesterday, I put up the tree, wrapped all the presents, and decorated inside. When she walked in the door, the look on her face (relief, surprise, thanks) was all worth it.
It seems nobody wanted to “do Christmas” this year.
Glad you got all yours done! Have a great one!

Sorry to hear you didn’t have any help. The nerve of people! Oh…and I apologize already…if Carter is anything at all like a normal toddler….he will be excited about it for about 5 minutes before he tosses it aside to play with the box it came in.
Merry Christmas hon. (((hugs)))

Wow! What a great toy…David would love it LOL but no space in this house.
I can’t believe nobody stopped to help you! I think I would have been inclined to flag someone down and beg, use my obvious femaleness to my advantage LOL What jerks people can be these days.
So how did Carter like it???

Don’t people suck? God forbid anyone actually help out a fellow human being!
I’m sure your little guy is going to love his gift!
Hope you had a great holiday! Happy New Year!

We got our dude a Little Tykes Kitchen. That was a whole lot of fun to put together.
I’m with ya on the fat-not-pregnant look. It’s all the rage this season, I think.

That is one cool looking toy! Can I come and play too? Sorry no one helped you, You should try being small, 5 foot, and have people actually say, looks like your having a bit of trouble with that and walk away!!! Talk about wanting to KILL someone. Have fun in Sin City and hurry back.
