As my shopping season is drawing to a close, I'm look more and more forward to the holidays. I'm looking forward to seeing my parents face when they see that I got them a DVD player, a Sony at that. I can't wait to have my girls by my side and playing with the rubber stamps I got them as soon as presents are opened. I'm feeling outrageously 'motherly'. I can't wait to give my little Max man a hug, or to hold Little Sister and play little baby games like peek-a-boo.

Speaking of Max, he called me the other day. He's two and a half and he called to tell me he went 'number two' on the potty. He sounded so proud, but I was happier than he was because he said "I wanna call Stephie and tell her I went on the potty!" My heart swelled.

Oh yeah, please excuse the last entry, it was made at 6:30 am, so it doesn't make much sense.

Now all I have to do is get gifts for my Grandma and Grandpa and then for my Nana. My Nana is my mom's mom, but her dad is divorced from my Nana. I never see Papa. It's like he's dead, and the sad thing is, I don't really care.

It looks like I'll have to check eBay and get ideas for my grandparents.

I added up all of my bills after this weekend. It's a triple digit sum... $175.60. Ouch. It's a damn good thing my last paycheck was $195.55. It sucks...I'm not completely done either!

Hm...what about one of those Christmas flowers? The Poinsettia?
