Gone but not Forgotten
I know, I know, I know. I finally start blogging again after a LOOOONG abscence and my comeback has been shady, at best. (panama city reference - spring break!) Anyway, I do have lots of good excuses. Wannna hear some? Ok, first off, it's the holiday season and I have been a shopping fiend. Now that I'm a stay at home Mom I have lots of time to bargain hunt. That's a must now that we're a single income family. So, I've been in and out of every department store, outlet mall, and other such shops since the day after Thanksgiving. I absolutly LOVE finding a great gift at a great price. So, the second obstacle keeping me from blogging was wrapping all my goodies. Having a 9 month old crawling FIEND is not very condusive to wrapping gifts. I get myself all spread out on the floor - wrapping paper everywhere, tape dangling from all 10 of my fingers, and up crawls Miss Maggie gunning for the scissors. This new shiny contraption her Mommy has just amazes her. And I think she "senses" that they're like one of the only things she CAN'T have so that's why she wants them so much. So, wrapping all my gifts has been tricky. I must admit though. I'm so proud of my sweet girl. She is all over the place. She pulls herself up on EVERYTHING. She's so strong and strong willed for that matter. If she wants something she can get to it and is bound and determined to get it in her hands. We bought her a "Guess What Elmo" because she freaks out whenever the commercial comes on the TV. We couldn't wait and gave it to her the other day. She loves it. Can't wait til Christmas time to give her the rest of her gifts.
