ciroccojWe've got considerably more stuff today than we did yesterday.
For one, we went to buy me yet another cell phone. Remember The X-Files? We appear to have learned Cell Phone Husbandry from Mulder and Scully. We suck. Have lost two so far, and we couldn't even afford to lose one.
Anyway, it's been a couple of years since we owned one, and the kids are a little older now, so we figured, what the hell. Went to get one and, Surprise! BellWorld was giving away DVD players for every cell phone purchased. It's a crappy one, but who am I to look a gift DVD in the mouth?
Then we got Chris' inheritance from his grandmother, who passed away a few months ago. It's more money than we've ever seen in one place. Quite... bewildering.
I think I'm going to kill Justin. Or maybe just try to get him to nap. He threw a chair down the stairs at Daniel this morning, and then threw another toy at him a few minutes ago. I swear I have no idea where he gets this. The minute I turn my back on him, he's all about destruction. And even when I'm with him, I have to constantly redirect, redirect, redirect. It gets unbelievably tiring after a few hours.
Off to nap!
