It's my BLOG and I'll cry if I want to

Has it really been that long since I blogged....I have been so busy trying to get ready for the baby and working that I just never seem to be online anymore. My google reader is filled with things to read....my inbox is over stuffed...and I fear once the baby comes it will get even worse. I guess one must make sacrifices though.
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. My kids were spoiled of course and enjoyed the day. I was exhausted of course and paranoid I would go into labor before they opened their presents. But alas we made it through the day. I am still hnoping for my New Years Baby. My 12:01am January 1st baby.... I am seriously tired of being pregnant now though. I am in pain and just plain out miserable and working 4 nights a week doesn't help either.

I will share a few Christmas pics with you. I had intentions of taking a ton and as usual the camera got swept aside while I handed out presents to the crew. So here this is all I have to share

Now a quick little update. I know it has been 2 weeks since I blogged and I feel terrible about it. I have just been so busy getting ready for the baby, working and just plain out too tired. I have been having a lot of back pain for a few weeks now and it really hurts to sit at the desk on my computer. Yeah I have this laptop but I hate dragging it around. All the kids come and hit the keyboard and mess things up. So bear with me and I promise to try and blog more. (of my non important ramblings lol)

I think I can officially say I am done with my Christmas shopping. I took advantage of a few cyber monday deals for the little guy and I think I have him finished. My goal this year was to be done shopping by Dec 1st and it looks like I did it. Now to just wrap it all.....anyone wanna help? I hate wrapping gifts. I shouldn't say that. I don't mind wrapping one or two but Christmas time...oh how I dread that. I guess I will have to start doing one or two a day to get it done before Christmas Eve. I also hate to see then what all I really did buy for the kids. I need to learn more self control in that department. Why is it you go shopping for one child but cant' find what you want for them but stuff for all the others who really didn't need anything else? Am I the only one with that issue? Please tell me I am not alone here folks. I admit my kids get too much each year. Every year I say they won't get as much and somehow when it is all done they have more than needed. I really will work on that next year. What cyber monday deals have you taken advantage of?
