Choose Your Colour Package Train -- OVER

[kellyanna_99]

Thanks everyone for your kind words and thoughts.
MRS.SUNSHINE: My kids are 13, 16, and 2x 23...so I am waaaaayyyy beyond wanting to do child care, no thank you!! LOL!!
JULES...Ill be up in Orillia one day this week, doing a resume blitz...we should grab coffee!!
KELLY...ex is a douche...been TRYING to get him to pay support for 8 years now. one through 7 lawyers, $20,000 and still no results. Its too long of a story to get into right now...but Ive tried. It WILL catch up, but unfortunately not when I need it most!

Sorry Heather. I thought mine was bad. WOW. I'm currently paying out the wazoo for a lawyer to maintain what I have up against some balony. It doesnt' stand a chance, but it will probably run me close or more then 5 figures over the course of however long it takes. I thought the FRO was supposed to stop that crap, so I haven't dealt with them yet, we've avoided it so far, only just, as something other things were at risk, so it came through. It is supposed to be the right of the child, it just boils me to no end when people shirk their responsibilities to their kids . I hope you find a great job soon!

I am hosting the halloween one and PammieD is hosting a Deck the halls one

Can we do both? Or is there a limit to the amount of package trains we can do in a year, or just at the same time not allowed?

I'm back from my US shopping trip! I think I did ok this time. lol. I spent $700 but I got A LOT of Christmas items! Including a 5 foot inflatable Snowman.

I got a great deal on cots for the kids (christmas presents). They will be perfect for camping or travelling (especially in hotels, so that they have their own bed). Below is a pic I found online:



I also stocked up on items for myself that I've been needing (Running Shoes, Socks, Bras, Yoga wear, Winter Coat, Face moisturizer, BB cream, etc).

And then a heap load of groceries. I may or may not have spend $20 on Halloween candy -- 2 HUGE bags of over 500 pieces of Milk Duds, Heath, Almond Joy, Whoppers, Skittles, Hubba Bubba and Starbursts -- MUST RESIST URGE TO OPEN!!!

My favourite find was Aveeno Sunscreen for $1.49 at The Christmas Tree Shop. I stocked up for next summer. lol

Such a cute cot. Makes me think of Alexa and the cots they use in the daycare from toddler up.

She starts daycare tomorrow. I am a wreck! Been crying and crazy for the better part of the week. It's so ridiculous cause she'll be totally fine. It's me that is going to struggle! Tomorrow after I drop her off, I'm heading to the gym, then home to shower, then out for a pedicure and home to sleep. Everyone keeps asking me what I'm goig to do now that she's off full time....Im pretty sure hey think I'm kidding when I say I'm going to sleep. My plan was to sleep and sort out my house all this week, but I'm starting a consulting project on Wednesday (a little earlier than anticipated so I only have 2 days "off" and Tuesday will be dedicated to getting my office in order). If the project goes well and the client is happy, it could translate into providing them with services year round, but I'm not getting my hopes up. I've been applying to jobs in my field in case the consulting privately doesn't work out, and have been thinking of getting a retail job to keep me busy during the week.

K, that's all for now. Wish me luck tomorrow morning. God I'm a loser lol.

you can only ride one package train at a time but you can ride as many a year as you like

Good luck Pam!

Fa-la-la-la la-la-la-la!

MIL is done. Not speaking to the FIL/Step MIL since our wedding (pathetic) so that's 2 less people to shop for!

Don is getting a watch to replace one that got lost when we moved last December! Lol. He has been wearing his Timex sports watch isn't exactly corporate banking friendly. I've also gotten him a few fun things including slippers from his fahourite soccer team in England and 3 Muppets dvd boxed sets.

Yay!

@PammieD - I was the same way for the first couple weeks my kids went to daycare. DD started at 2.5 and DS started at 16 months (both only Tues & Thurs). They needed socialization and verbal skills and I needed sleep! lol. I was pregnant with DS when DD started and I remember dropping her off and going straight home to bed! lol. She didn't sleep through the night until almost 3 (DS was barely 13 months sleeping through).

I'm actually doing well for shopping. DH's anniversary present is done, my sisters bday is done an DD's bday is done (all end of nov/beginning of dec). For Christmas I'm done all inlaws (3 Nephews, MIL, FIL & StepMIL) and the kids are about half way. Still need my family (4 people) and DH.

I am hoping to mail tonight or, at the latest, tomorrow morning. My quest to find one item on my buddy's WL has ended in defeat.

[KK7]

I love my new job and all but phew I am tired....yesterday the electricity went out and in a small market type place it is a HUGE inconvenience had to stay late ect ect. Then today I have a 10 hour shift and have to close the store myself for the first time...who heard of 10 hour shifts in retail? I am going to be so tired and I will be lucky to get a half hour break. I just keeping thinking of the money! Everyone have a good day!

[shawshank]

will be mailing out today!

[bargain_hunter_lola]

Just another reminder about post count - the minimum for this train is 15 (3 mandatory and 12 random).

I know most of us are well beyond but I'm posting just in case. I don't want ANY reason to leave a neural for ANY rider. Please make sure to get your post count to the minimum by the end of the train.
