the most exciting week of my year is upon us.

i can't wait . this is the most exciting week of my year.

HUGE things happening this week.

i'm UBER EXCITED ABOUT TWILIGHT TONIGHT!

i am going EARLY and waiting in line. if i could i'd wait in line all day today. alas, i have children to take care of, and this doesn't qualify for a day off. darn.

SUPER EXCITED to see it at midnight. YAY! my glitter cup and I will be there! WHOOHOO!

I plan on going on a date friday night to see it with Lance again. yay!

and ya know all the filler stuff that happens daily. whoo!

then next week the best day ever will be here.

i can't wait for Wednesday's paper to come with my beloved black friday ads! i live to have them in my hot little hands.

Thursday i'll be at the Big K, by 5:00 am for thanksgiving day shopping which THRILLS ME! even if i'm not getting anything big or exciting.

oh plus a fun filled day with family at the park for Thanksgiving lunch. and strategy planning. YAY for shopping! i can't wait.

Friday? my day will start at 3 am. to meet and hit the stores. yes it's excessive. but really, so fun when you are punchy from lack of sleep, or hopped up on redbulls! it will be THRILLING!

shop like the pro's we are.

and come home to sleep.

saturday this year is looking up! Lance has been going shooting for the Black powder adventure for the last few years. which used to bug me. gone all day, leaving me home with ALL THE KIDS, and he'd take my Van too. leaving me stranded. and cranky.

this year though it's changed. i will Happily send Lance and 3 big kids off to go shooting. the deal was they could go when they turned 8. well 2 are older than 8 already and Paxton turns 8 in a few weeks. so he's taking all 3 big kids and the Van, but that's fine by me, i'll only have 3 little kids and we can do anything we want in the little car. YAY! it's almost like a day off. only 3 kids to take care of. VACATION!

i think we have a wheeler adult party on of the weekend nights. that should be fun.

and Sunday night is mom's anual Christmas Party! YAY!

santa comes, we sing songs and get into the christmas spirit before the rush of the season.

this year we have a low key holiday season planned. so far. as far as parties go. awesome!

i'm dying to get cracking on my shopping though.

i found PJ's i want.

most of the big stuff isn't on black friday deals so far.

So i'm waiting for the highly anticipated Walmart black friday ad to come out.


now that i rambled on listing all my thrills coming up,

WOW That's early for Kmart on Turkey day! Guess I'll be waking up really early that day if I want to get my one deal there!

I am so excited about the week!

TWILIGHT tonight; are you kidding? It's like a family reunion for me, having been raised on vampire lore. Can't wait!

Hate black friday; sorry! i don't leave the house; hate the traffic and the crowds and want everyone to just GET OUT OF MY WAY!

Fave thing about T'day week? The preparation of the house and food, and EATING all the yummy food and left overs!

Julie... you are one fun lady!!! I'll answer your questions...

Are you excited about this week coming up? I am looking forward to it! There is a lot going on, but it should all be super fun! (TWILIGHT, Boutique (and getting stuff ready for the boutique), mom & dad's re-marriage, Thanksgiving dinner (all day on Thursday)... not all in that order, but that's what my week looks like!

TWILIGHT? does it thrill you? HECK YEAH!!! We'll (Fawn and our hubby's) be there waiting in line! Hope to see you there!

Do you get excitited about Black friday? Ususally... but this year, no extra money and so instead of doing Black Friday I'm putting some some stuff in a boutique and see how I do!

What is your fave store to go to? Walmart/Target... they have great deals on stuff that interests me!

Do you have any fun traditions? Not really... we go with the flow usually. This year though we are going to see about making the kids Indian outfits for Thanksgiving Day... should be fun!

What is your favorite part about thanksgiving week? The family get-togethers and playing games!!!

i bought my tickets on TUESDAY for the TWILIGHT movie! I can't wait for tonight! i have to work in the morning so I should be exceptionally happy. Lack of sleep makes me happy, silly happy.

I love thanksgiving and Black friday is my favorite day of the year next to my birthday!

We do have traditions for the holidays. i love them!!! This year things might be less traditional because my kids all have sport games and playoffs the day after Thanksgiving. like, what gives??

I am glad some people enjoy black Friday - the day all the shopping websites crash and the nets start dragging about 4 am!

jayna said...

TWILIGHT!!! On my way as soon as my ride gets here....I can't wait! SOOOOO EXCITED TO SEE IT!!! And Thanksgiving....we do at my grandma's--it's always so fun to see everyone! And Black Friday...I love to go with Micah but alas we have a TON of kids this year so I will probably just send him out on his own....he's such an awesome shopper! :)

Leslie said...

Here are the answers to a couple of your question....

(TWILIGHT? does it thrill you?) I have read the first book and Love it...want to see the movie but apparently I have been so out of the loop, everyone else already has plans. I would go to the midnight with you, but that doesnt work when my hubby works at midnight and so I may just Drag him with me tomorrow evening for a date...maybe we will see you!! Or I may wait a week to let the crowds die down.

(do you get excitited about Black friday?) Nope, never done the Black Friday thing, I HATE crowds and waiting in line.

(what is your favorite part about thanksgiving week?) Eating Turkey, Mashed Potato's and Gravy. yummm yummm yummm oh and just being with my family is always great, I am sure after we eat we will watch a new movie and just enjoy the day!!

I am super excited about Twilight. I bought my tickets for Saturday and I am going with 2 friends. I DOUBT it will be sold out here in iowa though. LOL

Black Friday. I used to LOVE it. But my kids are not asking for anything except one toy and the rest they want books, so I am not sure I will go out early. I can probably find the stuff online cheaper. I am not into shopping and gifts this year. The only thing I want is the Emma Smith movie.
