Back to reality

I haven't been avoiding my blog..really...i've just been doing this thing called life. Everytime I think of something clever to write about I am away from my computer and then by the time I get time to do it, i forget what it was I was going to say. It seems like if I'm not working, I'm taking care of kids, and if I'm not doing that i'm taking care of a house and if I'm not doing that I'm sleeping and ....

Today my mom took my neice, myself and my two monkeys to the mall for some school shopping. She does it every year. Mason got a hot new pair of sketchers that light up and the lights on top look like the lights on top of a police car. He was very impressed and wouldn't look at another pair after he saw those. He also got a batman bookbag to start off the year with. I tried to talk him into one that would last longer and could use more then one year, but you can't tell that to an 8 year old. So batman bookbag it is. Mallory got some clothes as well and we got a great deal on the cutest little dress. I really need to snap a pic of it. it's black with polka dots. Well being the two year old she is, and such a girly girl, she decides she wants it on NOW. She strips down and puts on the dress. Since I didn't want to have a blow out in the middle of Khols, I decided to let her wear it and would take the tag off when we got up front. My mom in the mean time is having a cow because she just knows we are going to go to jail. Ummm , mom , " It's not like were going to walk out and not pay for it". She wore the dress all day and it wasn't until i annouced bath time (which she loves) that she took it off. I also picked up some other cute dresses that were on clearnce as well and a fall outfit from target.

And man did we shop till we dropped...literally. Mallory has been out since 620pm and I tried making her wait until 7 but it just wasn't going to happen and she is nice and cozy in her bed. I think I will be following her soon.

What did I buy? I finally picked me up a copy of a Jodi Picoult book. Target had sooo many differnt ones and I didn't know which one to buy. My neice who was with me told me her favorite so far was "The Pact", so that is the one I went with. I can't wait to start reading it. I think my next Picoult purchase will be "My sisters Keeper".

Well my back has taken all it can in this chair and I think going to bed at 7, although may seem insane, is looking like a great idea
