Excitement Post

Today has felt like Christmas all day today. I have just been so ecstatic today! As you can see I def have emotional highs and lows lol. After writing my post last night I was able to pray about my problems and then go to bed. I woke up feeling MUCH better. I wanted to be up at 6:00 this morning so I could be done with work at 10:52 but going to bed at 12:20 a.m. didn't allow me to do so. I woke up at normal time and got off work at 12:52. I was able to get a short workout in and then run some errands before getting Maddy. A local station (92.3) started to play Christmas songs all the time and that really just sent my mood beyond joyous. One thing I did is try to get as much of Maddy's Christmas as I could before all the traffic gets really bad and I accomplished that plus an extra. Toys R Us is running a sale where you buy $40 in Disney movies and you get a $10 gift card back. I bought four movies for $30. Of coarse I bought all Christmas movies too lol...Eloise at ChristmasTime, Prep & Landing, Santa Buddies, and The Legend of Santa Paws. I am really enjoying the holidays this year and I am thankful for that. From here on out me and Maddy will be doing festive activities and will be extremely busy. This weekend we are headed to Rock City to see all the Christmas lights. I was hoping to get a backpack to carry her in because it is quite a long walk for a 2 year old, but I'm not sure I want to spend $100 just to do so...especially not knowing if she will sit in it. Next weekend we are headed to our local train station and going on a Polar Express train ride that will serve hot chocolate and cookies and the kids will get to see Santa. The weekend after that we will be celebrating my youngest niece's 7th birthday. That is all the "planned" things I can think of but there will also be lots of baking and shopping and singing done as well. I hope you all have a very happy Thanksgiving and be careful not to eat too much lol
