Almost December?

How in the world is Thanksgiving this week. I just can not figure out how it came so quickly. I feel like it was yesterday that I was just stressing out over his birthday. The past three weeks have just flown by. I'm just not ready for this week I guess. We have two Thanksgivings on Thursday. A rehearsal dinner Friday and Wedding Saturday. I still need to go buy a sweater to wear over my dress. I will freeze in a sleeveless dress. Plus on top of this I was hoping to go shopping Black Friday morning so I could save a few bucks for Christmas presents.

I have only been shopping black friday twice now and both times I was amazed at how rude women get in the morning. I think I will always remember two years ago when Brandon NEEDED the Wii. It was the first wave of shipments and Gamestop in the mall was only getting TWO in for Black Friday. We slept on the living room floor with our alarm clock set, while Brandons brother slept in our bed. We got to the Mall at 4am and the mall was still closed. I guess they don't open the doors till 5am but he wanted to make sure he was the first one to get a Wii. So of course out of sleep deprivation and just wanting to get this over with I showed him to one of the back doors for employees and walked the hallways until I knew I was near Gamestop. Having worked at the mall for a few years really helped me know what I was doing!

We walk up and theres a guy inside behind the chained doors, Brandon asks if there is a waiting list for today and he gives us a ticket number, it said #2. We actually got it! An hour before the store even opened at that! I sure did feel bad for all the guys that came popping out of doorways and running through the hallways trying to get a Wii! All of them turned away sadly.

We had it home and set up, playing some games by 5am!

I know I won't be dealing with any more crazy outings like that trying to get the "new" stuff first until Bradley gets a bit older
