That would be a good plan, Carol. It would certainly free you up a lot.

Shelley gets her some type of coffee at Starbucks every day. I don't drink coffee and I'm glad because it costs $7.00. A drink isn't worth that much to me.
Junie do you have a good WalMart. I avoid the one in Monroe like the plague because it's always packed and even though they have like 25 registers there are only 2 people actually working.
Sunny, this week my niece sent a picture of where she takes her 18 month old son to get his hair cut and they sit in cars on pedestals like on a carrousel. He sits still because he thinks he's having fun :). It costs $100.00 though.
Tina did you get your roof fixed?

It is a large Wal-Mart and it has grocery. I really do not know if it is actually a good one or not as DH is always there saying "are you done yet ????"
Apparently he goes buying not shopping. As an example, Today I saw a bin full of brand name metal miniature cars. I say oh, a start on my Christmas shopping. Well he says it is too ear my to go Christmas shopping and golly they are $2.99 each. ( A real steal, right ? )
Luckily my mommy did not raise any dummies, so I said yes. And I need 4 of them, but one has to be plastic. ( Ian will be just 2 at Christmas). So they are on my dining room table as I type.

Holy ....! GB sits on my lap and it costs $5 for two minutes of her time. Good deal Junie....Christmas will be here before we know it and with so many to buy for, I don't blame you to start early. This year the grands are getting metal bunk beds for here and a little toy to get wrapped under the tree. All Walmarts have no cashiers now...they want you to use the self checkers. With all that people are stealing that way...they are saving nothing.

My youngest DD that is the one having the child, (#4) is due the end of September. Her other 3 were born 1 in September and 2 in October. She always was a planner.
My Christmas will be much different this year as I will not be going out to shop as much or will not be invited out by one of my siblings to shop either.
Perhaps I need to become an online shopper.
I knew that would happen about Wal-Mart. I guess Target will be getting my business, that or Amazon.

Traditional schools started today so traffic will be worse than usual.
I know right Sunny. I can't imagine paying $100.00 for a child's haircut even if they get to sit in a car. They'd have to give me the car to get that kind of money out of me. Sometimes Ginger cuts Chris's and Colt's at home. I don't think it's my nephew but more his wife. She's very sweet and will bend over backwards to help people but she has odd ideas about child rearing.
The problem with my local WalMart is that the millions of self check outs there don't work the majority of the time. So I've stood in line to self check out then have to go stand in the 5 mile long line for the person check out. It's been a long time since I've been there. Shelley used to go once a week (this is where I got my current info) but she's started ordering her groceries online to stay out of there. Bad management.
Good for you Junie on getting those toys. Just imagine, even if you wrap just 2 presents a piece and put them under your tree that's going to be a lot of stuff. You'll have to post a picture of your tree this year. I don't know what our Christmas will be since we did our Christmas vacation in the summer this year. I suppose I'll but a few gifts to put under the tree but it won't be a lot of stuff. That said, Shelley is saying they won't go to the beach with us next summer. I might have said here, that Chris has an aunt who owns a house with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and a private pool, one block back from the ocean, that she says we can have for a week for FREE. I said if we get the house for free that Johnny and I will pay for our activities and such for everyone's Christmas gift since we usually pay for the lodging, but Shelley says Tracy says he can't stay in the same house with all of us for a week. So I don't know what's going to happen. I can't have presents under the tree at Christmas for Shelley's family and not have any for Colt.

I think you are correct, I saw where she said something in one of the other forums about it.
"Here ye---Here Ye...I get to go to Ceramics tomorrow,,I will not be around until tomorrow night at some point\.

Junie hope you had fun at ceramics. Did you go locally?
Yes, Tracy is Shelley's husband. The man hardly ever says a word so Ginger and I are thinking it's Shelley who doesn't want to go and is blaming him. They have the most kids and are by far the pickiest eaters so they are the problem group. Colt rarely complains, will eat macaroni and cheese for every meal, will stay in the ocean or pool or dig a hole to China in the sand all day long. He'll sleep on the floor, the couch, in the car, wherever so he's not a problem. And Chris will do whatever everyone else wants to do and eats everything put in front of him. Who knows. Sunny that's pretty much what I'm going to say. We'll be there and if they want to come for 1 day or 5 then we have the room but if they don't want to come we'll have fun anyway and their children will be mad at them.
I went with Colby to the gym today. He's the sweetest boy ever.

Thanks to you all. It was a glorious day indeed !!!! and my freinds were happy to see me. Even the waitress at lunch said nice to see you dear....
I went to my old ceramics place...and one of the ladies had done the eyes in my bunnies...she is a wiz at eyes. makes the piece look so life like indeed.
We went to lunch together once again it was grand. I hope I get to go again soon.
My mom was in a 1 car accident today,. she was not driving so that is good, she is stable now, but after all she is soon to be 86. Tomorrow I will go spend a few days with my sister to be closer..so if I am not around, that is where I am,
sweet dreams

Oh my...prayers for your mom Junie. I am so happy that you got a day with your friends as well.
Sheri, my GB is the easiest child also. I have to go pick him up later at day care. He will be staying here for a few days since the day care is having 'activity days'. I'd rather have him safe in my house then on a bus with no seat belt for 3 hrs both ways to go to the big city. This day care has the strangest outings ever. DD has a lot to catch up on in her house as well....before she ends up on "Hoarders."
Hope the car is an easy fix Tina.
It is a cooler day today, which we haven't seen much of....this has been one strange Summer.

Junie how far are you from your ceramics place? Is it a trip you can make weekly? or at least every other week? Glad you're mother is ok.
Tina, did you get your car fixed? We got one of ours fixed but I think we're going to have to trade in the Honda.
Sunny, I don't blame you one bit for keeping GB home. I don't understand why bus seat belts aren't a requirement.

Yes, I agree.
Glad you got it figured out Tina.
Today I came home to a strange conversation from a 618 area code. Whomever called never meant to leave a message but recorded their conversation. The conversation went on for about 5 minutes...I could have sworn it sounded like Junie. I never called back since it is over $1 a minute charge. I hope all is o.k. on her end.

I am 618..but..unless I butt dialed you, It was not me...But I guess I could have pushed some wrong buttons. I will ask my DD to watch her bill closely when it comes in... No my ceramics classes are a 3 hr drive away. But I have developed some good friends over time and not seeing them is hard. Night I mention not being close by my family during times like this...

I could have sworn it was you Carol...the conversation was about therapy/taking care of someone. I have never been 'butt dialed' before GB was up at 6 am this morning asking for blueberries. I guess they were calling his name from the fridge Baking day here...bread and sweets await.

Sunny, I do wish we had of talked.
Darn those Blueberries anyway. They really need to learn to wait until a more reasonable hour to begin talking......
Going back up to see Momma today.
