Just picked up the Kohl's Cares CD from Kohl's today. All profits go to the Kohl's Cares for Kids. The assortment of artists is good... Michael Buble, Seal, Jason Mraz, Death Cab for Cutie and quite a number of other people *I* have actually heard of even though I'm a country music fan. ;)
Just saying, if you are looking for some holiday music to get you "in the mood" then check out the Kohl's album this year. Highly recommended and a steal for only $5.00!

Another day, another dollar (so they say)
I'm back to work today. If you do the math, I was out almost the entire week last week taking care of the sick kid. Mental note, after being home with mom for a week, no kid WANTS to go back to school. It was like the first day of school all over again, I'm hoping tomorrow won't be nearly as drawn out as the 2nd day of the new school.
My co-worker and I were discussing the need to holiday shop. I just don't know where to begin, and it's quite honestly driving me a little batty. I don't know our budget for people, I keep TRYING to convince my husband that he's in charge of his family, and I'm in charge of mine, but in the 8 years we've been married, it never works out and on Christmas Eve I'm out shopping for last minute gifts for HIS family! *I* worry first about my own, make sure the right people get the right gifts. Still looking for some "family" type gifts, you know, knock out 3-4 people instead of sending one per person. But, I still like to find the "right" thing.

The holidays are upon us
It may not seem like it, but you know it's coming. Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and there's NO slowing down between the feast and the New Year. I'm further behind in shopping than I ever have before. I had been anticipating a lot of online ordering, but I'm watching the days creep up on how much time we have left to make it before the great un-wrap fest, and there just aren't that many days! Where did the time go?
This week, the time got sunk into a child who's sick. I've been taking every other day off to take care of a son with a fever, and a cough that sounds like he can't breathe. My husband has been taking the alternate days to do the same.
Family has started asking what to get the sick kid for his birthday too, which is also quickly approaching. No keen ideas there either, we'll see what I come up with. Off to wipe the nose, pat the back for the cough, and make sure the Tylenol is being administered on the schedule.
