No fun filled exciting life over here.............

I wish I could say that the reason why I haven't been around lately is because I have been off having a amazing life filled with fun and excitement BUT no the reason for my absence is because life has been keeping me so busy that I can't seem to slow down long enough to write. In my last post I mentioned spending some time in here giving a life status update and about 5 minutes after I typed that I received a call from a friend in need so I forfeited my blog time. I will find a way to balance this crazy life of mine to include blog time. I am actually making some head way lately but I will write more about that in the next post. Wow, last time I wrote was before Thanksgiving. Of course I had Thanksgiving here at my house which went well. We were expecting more people than showed but 11 was plenty. I scaled back this year on the amount of different side dishes and desserts I made without anyone even mentioning something was missing. After dinner the men went to the TV room to watch sports, the kids huddled into the front room to watch the movie I rented them (Santa Buddies), and us girls began strategically plot out our Black Friday shopping plan. Believe me when I tell you there is a art to planning out how to get the best buys in the shortest amount of time with the shortest amount of stores to go to. To ensure that goal was met I did cheat just a little and shopped online Thanksgiving night at the Boston Store. This year since the stores were either open all night or really early we decided not to even bother going to sleep before we left. In the past the three of us girls have napped in my bed for a few hours before we left but not this year. (Oh yes, I am sure many comments are made by men about us three girls sleeping together and how lucky my husband is to witness this - but just to burst your visual bubble we are fully dressed except for our shoes)Well, before this post goes down a completely different road talking about why guys think girls together is hot I am going to end this post and go put another load of laundry in. For the love of God I can not figure out how we end up with so much laundry for four people.
