• This time between Christmas and New Year's is really just the best time of the year...except that today is the last real day! Like I should probably start reminding the kids that 2:30 will not be an acceptable bedtime come next Monday night nor will 2:30 be an acceptable time to wake up next Tuesday morning. I guess I will let them have a few more days of fun though-especially since Robby and I have been staying up late and and getting up late as well.
• Today's activity was going to Academy with Graham and Whitman. They both had a gift card from there to spend. Graham didn't find anything, but Whitman did-he found inflatable bowling pins that are about 3 feet high each. I love cleaning out and getting rid of things, but Whitman pretty much brought home the largest thing in the store except for a pool table.
• Then we ran to Walmart and Sams as well. We managed to find 2 rolls of wrapping paper at that Walmart along with a measuring cup and two boxes of snickerdoodle cookie mix. At Sams we only bought a snack at the snack bar and a few other things off of the list. 
• Oh, and we did go to the library before all of our errands. Their website has been down for the last few days so that truly stressed me out. However, today when I arrived, they had my 20 books that were on hold so I was incredibly happy. I keep trying to figure out a way for me to work at the library without me actually having to work at the library.
• We were home a bit, and then Campbell, Keaton, Robby, and I went to Tacos for Life. Robby had a coupon and a gift card so we even brought food home for the others. We did get a pimento cheese and chicken taco. It was a huge disappointment-I liked ChickFilAs pimento cheese chicken sandwich, but this was just a hunk of cold pimento cheese on a chicken. Robby and I did some Tacos For Life group taste testing things once-I don't know what the people that taste tested that taco were thinking.
• Now we are all back home and I am going to try to read quite a bit of my book-however, I don't want to start a new one right now because will it go on my list of read in 2023 or 2024?
