SEPTEMBER!

Hello beautiful cool evening! Hello leaves changing color! Hello FALL!!!

ITS SEPTEMBER!
I started the month by getting my first Christmas gift bought for Laci. There is a Barbie cash register at Toys R Us that she plays with everytime we go, and finally I decided to scan it and it came up ....prepare yourself for this.... 42.99!!!!! (excuse me while I throw up in my mouth again)Anyhow, so I have been looking on Ebay for a used one since at 2 1/2 she doesnt understand that no package=played with by another kid first. So I foudn some, some in bad shape, some in great shape, but all quickly being bid on. So I found one yesterday that is in perfect shape in Florida and emailed the seller to ask if she would consider a buy it now price, and after consulting her daughter she came back and agreed to 7.50 with 6.75 to ship!!!! Yes, Laci has her cash register coming for christmas this week and it only cost me 14.25!!! I am going to find a nice box for it and get it cleaned up to 100% and I know she is going to be THRILLED when she opens it on christmas morning! I know its sad to give your kids used gifts at christmas, but if it meant used or not at all, well, a mom has to do what a mom has to do. Kids toys are insanely priced now adays and with us still recovering from Brian being laid off this year Christmas is going to take some tweaking. Anyhow its only a few things, I will be buying plenty too I am sure!
So anyhow, Chip is doing well. He is gaining weight, drinking water on his own, and eating well. He is currently purring in one hand while I type 2 fingered. LOL!
Today is another rainy day, but its ok by us. I have yet to make my mind up about Gatlinburg too. *sigh* I need to get that figured out quickly!
Hope you all have a blessed first day of September!
