We had a good weekend. Friday, Husband drove the kids up to the Dump, which is a huge discount furniture place in DFW. When I got home, we went over bills and determined that we had the money left over this month to by a new chair for the livingroom. The one we had, was not a recliner, and was literally coming apart at the seams. At the Dump, they were handing out coupons for that day giving us $200 off anything priced $399 or up. So we got him a recliner for Christmas and he is very happy.
Saturday, I bought groceries and made fried rice. husband got my tires alligned and was told my front Struts need to be replaced. Oh, that's why my car rocks at 60 MPH, I thought it was just the alignment was out since I had that blowout. Well that's $800 I dont have. We all went to the library and everyone picked out movies. I went to Barnes and Noble to spend my gift card. I got the new Katie Macalister Dark Ones Novel and MaryJanice Davidson's third book about Fred the Mermaid, plus a book of Mensa puzzels (because that's what I like to do at work) and a really prety sketch book that I gave to my cousin on Sunday.
Sunday, we went to see my Dad;s family. Husband got to sight in his rifle (he got a new red dot sight from Santa.) I gave jewelry to my aunt, cousin and my other cousin's girl friend. When I met her at Thanksgiving, she love my tourquoise necklace, so I gave her one that was silver with some nice stones and a pendant that was given to me when I re strung a necklace for someone. I had a dream the night before that I had already given a necklace to my cousin like the one I picked out this year, so I took an extra just in case.
They let S sit in their den and watch videos. He sat and rewound so he could mostly watch the Paramount stars over and over. I don't encourage him to do that kind of autistic stimming at home. That's what it is. He's not hand flapping, but it's repetative autistic stuff. So When we ate, I had to wrestle him to the table and make him eat a little. We then stopped to get him cheeseburgers twice on the way home.
Worked yesterday. Checked our bank account and realized I forgot to borrow from the hundreds place when we did bills on friday, so I rushed to put christmas money in the account before anything bounced. At least we caught it. My Bugler came yesterday. Now I just need paint. Mom said she might let me pinstripe her fridge, but I think she was joking. Dad gave her a dirty look, otherwise, she might have let me. I guess I just will have to practice on my crappy car.
