I spent $30 at the Dollar Store today, which translates into 3 bags full of crap that I really don’t need, but because they were only a dollar I just couldn’t pass them up. I’m such a sucker. In all honesty, I did score some good deals on wrapping paper and gift tags, but the number of stamps I’ve bought for Liv’s stocking is getting out of hand (the girl loves to stamp, but does she really love it this much).

I should be dusting right now, but I’m starting to feel stressed so I need to pause and let it pass. Kyle’s parents are coming into town tomorrow so we can go to our friend’s holiday party (I am in a desperate search for something black and white to wear in keeping with the theme of the party). The toilet needs scrubbing, the floors need sweeping, the itty-bitty fingerprints need removing, but I can’t seem to gain the momentum to do any of it.

I hit Zagara’s up for their can’t be beat “5 meats for $19.99″ deal and managed to slip 2 bottles of red wine into the cart, which is making the tasks seem more doable and the kid’s bed time seem even sweeter (it’s also making my mouth water at the thought of our fried egg and bacon topped burger dinner).

Oh hell…it IS the holidays. A little dust never hurt anyone…right?
