My mom and I went Holdiay shopping yesterday. Before you do gooder Christians get completely out of shape over me saying Holiday shopping, please let me remind you, I am "Pagan"!  I shop for Christmas, Winter Solsitice, and Yule for my kids and other people!  So it is Holiday Shopping for me!

We started our shopping day off by dropping the kids off at school.  Then we hit Target.  Where I got DeLaney's last birthday present, Coltin's clothes presents, part of DeLaney's Santa present, my neice's presents from the kids and Uncle and Auntie, my nephews' presents from the kids and Uncle and Auntie.  My mom got my brother's boy his present from the grandparental units, and a couple of things for her house.  Oh and I picked out my Christmas gift from the parental units.  You all will just have to wait till i open it fully to find otu what I picked out!

We are going to piss the fark out of Skank in Law!  Heheheh.  We aren't sending my nephew any toys.  Why bother when anythign we get him she gives to her presious lil autistic spoiled rotten brat of a son.  And my nephew gets told to share everything at the age of 2 with his older brother and has his toys taken from him and he gets in trouble when his older brother takes HIS toys!  But his older brother doesn't have to share crap with him, I don't give a rats ass if he is autistic!  I have friends with autistic kids, more sever then he is, and they have been taught to share!  Anyway we are sending clothes.  My brother's lawyer finally found out the sizes for us because Skank in Law had been cutting the tags off of his clothes so my brother couldn't tell us.  My mom got my nephew a pair of black sweat pants with a red line down the sides with a big Harry the Husker on one of the bottom legs and a black T-shirt that says "Trouble is My Middle Name!"  I got my nephew a Nebraska red turtle neck with a grey sweat shirt jacket with NE Huskers on it.  See the Skank is a inbreed hill billy mt bitch from WVA and NC!  She hates NE shit but she farked up and is going to have to use these clothes cause yay she has too and our boy will be sporting NE gear!  My sister plans on getting our nephew a couple pair of jeans and some kicks that are also NE Husker Branded:D  We will get our digs in one way or another!

After Target, we headed over to Hobby Lobby, where I helped pick out DeLaney's birthday gift from the grandparental units and Coltin's Christmas gift from them.  From there we went to Sears, in the mall, where I called Randy and asked him what he wanted from the parental units and then helped mom pick out his gift.  I also got my mom and dad's gifts from the kids there.

Next we moved on to RCC Western Stores in the mall.  I was just going to show my mom the gift I wanted to get Randy but wasn't going to because I wasn't going beyond a certain amount and they did away with Layaway!  One of the retail clerk cowboys (actual cowboy does a lot of calf roping at area rodeos) pointed out that similar items I had picked out are currently on sale, massively!  So i spent an extra 100 bucks and got Randy's gift from me.  The kids got him his gift a few months ago and it has been in hidding!

From RCC's we moved to Clare's.  Not The Icing by Clare's but the actual Clare's store.  Where I picked out some stocking stuffers to finish DeLaney out with because I finished Coltin's stocking stuffers out in Hobby Lobby, and my mom picked out part of DeLaney's Christmas Gift.

We finally took a break and I introduced my mom to Hu Hot Mongoilian Grill for Lunch!  She loved it but agreed even though it is fresh meats and veggies and you dont' have to put any sauces on my dad probably wouldn't eat there.  She is already planning on a girl's weekend out with my sister and going back when they do their shopping in two weeks time!

Then we had to hit walmart.  I am trying very hard to stay the hell out of Walmart after what they have been pulling on ppl.  The goal is to finish up my prescriptions that are there and then move them to Walgreens.  But alas, I couldn't find any of the kids' Santa gifts they have been asking for (we wrote emails to Santa the other night so I could find out what they wanted!:D) so I had to look at Walmart!

There my mom got her prescription, the rest of DeLaney's christmas gift and some other gifts I can't remember.  I hunted all over the place for what the kids' are asking for and realized I am going to have to make a trip to Lincoln or Omaha because there is no way I can order them when we have more money and have them here on time for the Holidays!  But I did manage to get one of Coltin's Santa gifts.  Posters are the easy things to find!:D  I also realized at the time I needed one more stockign stuffer for Coltin and managed to find what I was lookign for at the jewlery counter!

From there we hit Dollar General where I picked up wrapping paper and eyeballed but didn't buy soem of the Yule presents for the kids.  I am making the Winter Solsitce Gifts.  And Randy suggested we do 12 days of Yule presents this year.  Thank GODS for Dollar General and decent priced decent toys! 

At first Randy complained about the money I spent and made the coment:  "The Kids' Shitty Holidays you are making up for this year, have been better then my good holidays when I was growing up!"  I reminded him we have more then his or my parents ever had even with me paying back bills off!  He agreed and said to do the Yule thing then.  Then he bitched about me buying him presents because he knows I always come up with shit he likes with out me having to ask him anythign.  Now he is worried what he is going to get me and if it will be equal in price.  I tell him every year as long as you pick it out, it isn't cheesey and totally cheap (under 30 bucks) I dont' care as long as I dont' have to take it back!  He isn't allowed to get me anythign for the house!  That is somethign for the parental units and the kids to get me.  Spousal gifts have to be thoughtful!  And since this is our first year in 3 years that we are able to afford spousal gifts the pressure is on him!:D

But since I did spend a BUTT LOAD of money yesterday ( I also had to license my van!:D) and Randy is going to have a 40 hour week check instead of his normal 70-80 hour check because he took some much needed time off, until next wensday we are going to be tight tight tight!  But that is okay as long as bills are being paid, the kids are feed and the animals are feed!  So I will finish out my shopping in about two weeks.  Randy has to squeeze in my shopping yet and the kids want to go with him so they can help pick things out because they realized before Randy ever has our taste is totally different!
