Black Friday

So how many of you found yourselves out in the stores shopping today?? For the first time in my life I was! When I used to work retail I always had to work black Friday. I vowed never to shop on that day.He also sent me out today for a digital camera he wants to take to India for his uncle. I bought exactly what he wanted. After opening it, he doesn't want it. So now I have to take that one back and get a certain brand. I tired showing him in the sales papers different ones, but he didn't want to be bothered. The other two were cheaper than the one he insisted on having. Now I have to run that back and get a different one at a different store. I've had all this time off and not one day to myself. This is getting old.
Yesterday was busy. I did all the cooking. But, after dinner I left the kitchen and made the guys do the dishes and put everything away. I did laundry while the turkey was cooking and put all the sides together. The turkey was done earlier than I thought it would be, but my feel and legs were aching by the afternoon.
Tomorrow I have to run to the bank, and maybe I'll return the camera for another one. Then that's it. No more running. I'm tired and just need some down time. All that running I did today I came home and did some cleaning. I was so tired of looking at the fall decorations that I was more than eager to help the youngest put them away. He wants to put out all the Christmas decorations. I don't. In the years past I've always put the fall stuff away the day after thanksgiving and the christmas stuff out. Not the tree though. This year for some reason I don't' want to put everything out, only a few things. I just feel like my house is to cluttered, like I can't breathe. I went through my bookcases and packed away some books and magazines that I hardly ever use, but don't want to get rid of. There is actually space on my bookcases and I feel a little better. I moved a lot of the kitchen plants away from the window so I can actually see the curtains and outside. I rearranged the kitchen, it's more functional now. I rearranged some of the furniture in the living room and can actually see blank wall space. I have very few things on the tops of the pieces of furniture. I'm starting to feel better. It's more open and not so cluttered. The youngest though. He's happiest when there is crap everywhere. I'm not. I see in the days ahead we are going to be fightin, lol.
Man, I just deleted a huge part of this. Oh well, I'm tired and getting off here.

ahh you are just tired hun. and rightly so, if you could catch your breath from all the running back and forth you would feel like decorating for christmas. I was apathetic and the others put up the tree and a few decorations and now sitting in the livingroom it feels kinda nice. its starting to creep up on me ,the christmas spirit. lol
