One of my tasks today was to go to Target to get last minute Christmas items, as well as, some long needed lightbulbs for the bathroom. Before Ryan left for work today, we had a serious conversation. "You need to get the small lightbulbs. They have a smaller base than the regular lightbulbs. Do you know what the regular lightbulbs look like?" Rolling my eyes, I said, "Yes, I know what regular lightbulbs look like. Jeez!" So, off we went, the kids and I and lollipops aplenty, to do our chores. We did great! Got the lightbulbs, got the plastic cups for next week, got the extra dishwasher detergent, etc. But sure enough, when Ryan got home tonight, and he went to screw in the lightbulbs, they were the wrong wattage. *Sigh* Oh well. In my defense, I did have a toddler and baby in tow as we raced through the store before any meltdowns occurred. Guess I will have to restock my bag with lollipops for my return trip to Target tomorrow.
I had sort of a rough day in the land of "Terrible-Two's" today. They sure gave it a cutesy name for a rotten stage. I got this face a lot today........
Followed by, "I not gonna hit Sadie anymore" Argh!THOUGH, we did have a really nice time reading "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" together, while Sadie was napping (before Jake woke her up! Grr...). He definitely has his cute, snuggly moments and I will love them forever. We took turns reading, well, sort of. He did a great job playing the role of Santa, "Ho, Ho, Ho, Merry Christmas" and I read the rest of the story. It sort of reminded me of when my family used to sit down and read the play, "The Miracle Worker" for family bonding time. (Sidenote: Although, this probably contributed to my weirdness, I do have fond memories of this and plan to do it with my kids. Sorry Ry. Though, why was I always Helen Keller???)
Anyway, I'm sure there will be more cute and frustrating moments tomorrow, but now it is time to go watch the Wizards game. Woot!

Ali- dont feel bad.. I have so many random lightbulbs here at the schatz home that I bought and that I brought home to find they do not fit in the bathroom vanity.. its embarassing... its really hard to tell which ones are the right ones when you are there looking at hundreds of them! I bring one with me now. thats the only way.
ok, really- I just went in to replace all the vanity bulbs and opened the pack of 6 light bulbs I bought a month ago- and yes, they are too big. I guess when you bring the sample with you to Target- you have to actually open the box of the bulbs you are purchasing to COMPARE them!! I hate this job.
