Thanks to my dear husband, the Christmas cards are finished! Of course, those of you east of the Rockies and north of the US border may not get them in time. I'm sorry my relaxed attitude will cause you to receive late good tidings. Next year I promise to panic like everyone else on the internet ;)

After Chris came home yesterday (his last day as a good guys! employee) we took Tabitha to her last day of bowling. She got her trophy and pizza and then the kids had cosmic bowling for the hour. She had loads of fun, but is sad she may not see her partner again. She is already signed up for the next session, but he is not and he's going to the no-bumper league anyway.

After bowling we hit the mall desperately trying to find jeans for my kid. I have a killer coupon for JC Penneys so we went there. 7 slims fit her waist beautifully but are literally 3 inches past the bottom of her feet. 6X have the right length but are too tight. So I tried her in a 6X 1/2 which is basically a plus size. Um, no. Waaaaay too big in the waist. So we left in frustration and that is that. Not sure what to do from here. She has 5 pairs of jeans. That means on Saturday and Sunday she has no pants. She can't continue to live like that. I hate buying that kid pants. She is impossible to fit. If they fit the waist they don't fit her length and vice versa.

Today I shall run errands, alone as the husband is on kid duty. But I plan to be done and home by noon at the absolute latest. I need to do minor grocery shopping, pick up a couple items at Toys R Us, I think Target, though I haven't decided, run to Downtown Disney, and then the PO. I don't really want to do any of it but it all has to be done. Hope I don't have to talk much as I still have no voice. The whole family is mocking me and I've resorted to punches to get my point across.
