I'm done with Diva Girl...the 8 boxes of purses that I have to send back are sitting on the front porch waiting for UPS to pick them up. I'm kind of excited, kind of sad. I'm excited to have my dining room back....I'm excited to not have to tell Ella, NO, 16 thousand times a day for getting into my stuff. I'm sad that I won't get a few hours of Non-Mommy time each week....
So being in charge of a Moms groups is hard. It's amazing to me how petty and catty women, grown women, can be. The thing I have to get over is trying to do everything myself...people want to help, I should let them, they don't do things the way I would do them, so I just do it myself.
The weather has finally changed into fall...yesterday it was around 70, today it's 48. And windy...meaning the chore of bundling up Ella has begun. And of course, she poops as I put her in the car!! Ugh!! Off comes the hat, off comes the coat, off come the shoes, off come the pants, change diaper and then chase her around the house trying to put all the listed items back on her.
It also means, freezing my butt off at the gas station. I can't stand putting gas in the car when it's cold and windy out. I swear, the wind can be as calm as can be and as soon as I start pumping gas, it's like a hurricane is coming. I know I could probably get back in the car and some people I know even leave the car running. I have this fear of my car blowing up, how many people do you know that have actually had this happen? I know it's probably a million in one chance, but I don't have the best of luck. I think I'm making that Mike's job for the winter....
Christmas is approaching and I've started the shopping. It is hard to buy for an almost 18 month old. Will she like this? Do I really want to spend this amount of money on something? What is she going to get from the other 100 people that will buy her something this holiday season? Where in the world will I keep all these receipts, so when she receives several of the same gift, I can exchange them? Just as an FYI...so far she has a TMX tickle me Elmo and one of those alphabet magnetic sets.....
Off to get some things done while she is sleeping....

Huh? Petty and catty? Who is it? I wanna know... (If it is in some of the posts on the board, I skim over some that look like they have drama...)
The cold weather is a bit much for me, too. I hate getting gas in the frigid weather. I do not leave my car on while filling up...
I'm ready for the holiday season, too! I've done a little shopping and am excited to decorate...
Ella will love the magnetic alphabet. We have 2 of the leap frog versions and the phonics version. All 4 of my kids love playing with them. Christmas shopping for the kids is so much fun. I hate shopping for the adults!

That's how many people I know who have died in a horrible explosion while pumping gas.
You should move to New Jersey. It is against the law to pump your own gas. So, regardless of the weather, I get to sit in my car while some poor sap pumps my gas.
