what day is it?

Hell if I could remember when I woke up this morning.  I really honestly thought it was Friday.  I don’t know why, I guess because I am a dork.

So last night, Yuyi called me — Yuyi is the spanish nickname for my friend M and that’s how I shall refer to her from now on — and asked me if I would help her get her one car home.  She had it in for brake work nearby my house.  She didn’t want to run all the way home and drag her youngest out and come back to pick it up.  So, the kidlet and I went and helped her out.

When we were done, she dropped us off and the kidlet and I watched KidNation, it’s our Wednesday night routine :)  After we were done that, I had an errand to run and then when we got back, we played a little NHL 07 on PS.  OMG, can I just tell you, I am NOT a hockey fan AT ALL…however, I am totally loving that game!  The kidlet kicked my butt 7-3, but I got 3 goals!  Not too shabby for never playing it before.  That game happened to be on his Christmas list and my mother informed me that she got it yesterday for him, WHOO HOO!  I can’t wait

Speaking of Christmas…OMG, I am so not ready and it will be here before you know it.  I need to get cracking.  I just dread it.  I am so sick of the materialistic part of the holiday.  I used to love the time of year…the music, the decorations, the “magic”.  Now, not so much.  I hate the rude idiots when I try to shop, I hate that kids want want want and are never satisfied with what they get.  I am not including the kidlet in that group, I have to say he’s a pretty good kid and is thankful for what he does recieve.  And, he’s a lot like me, he’d MUCH rather give gifts than get them.  I love that about him.  Every year we pick a name from the local angel tree and that is probably his most favorite thing to do.  I am so lucky to have a kid like him.
