Yep... I lost it. I was screaming at the kids, throwing the "F" bomb around like a sailor. I feel kind of bad now, although they seem to be completely happy, content and over the whole thing. I still feel badly. I don't like to lose my temper.. especially in front of their friends. Ugh.... So of course I apologized to Caitlin, and she just laughed... and said it was fine. I think she may have thought it was funny.. who knows. Or, maybe she was just happy that I gave her a flat Iron. She told me she loved me, that was cute....

In any event, Fred and I got a lot of Christmas shopping done today. Holy Stressful! I think we would have done better earlier if we didn't waste our time going through the city to that weird place that was nothing like we expected! What a strange place!

And, I will admit... Franklin Mills Mall is very overwhelming, but it served us well today. Everyone was SO nice! I mean that completely! People were kind and helpful. I enjoyed my shopping experience there a lot. And, much was accomplished! Now I'm feeling a little bit more like Christmas!

Right now I'm sitting in the Living room close to the Christmas tree. Brooke and Tyler did a beautiful job decorating it with all gold decorations, lights, garland, etc... A beautiful tree. I am thinking that a hot cup of coffee might be good right now...

Hubby got called in to work. But, he's on his way home. I bet he's exhausted. Shopping with me is no easy task. I know I drive him crazy. I know I pushed his buttons today.... he was so patient. I appreciate that a lot. I was stressed and full of anxiety.. and, my head was pounding. I know it's not easy being married to me. BUT, I try to be kind and gentle and the best I can be, all of the time. Well, not all of the time. Not today with the F bomb flying all over.... lol

Party tonight. I'm am looking forward to it.
