Black Friday Funny story and Saturday I was a sleepy blob . . .
Okay, so I missed posting yesterday. The holiday has taken me over.
I went to bed on Thursday very sleepy but JUST laid there. Unable to sleep. The little digital numbers kept changing shape, one after another. I have this problem. Whenever I have to get up at like 3-5 a.m. to do something important I never can get to sleep…
FUNNY STORY
After two hours of sleep I rose and arrived at Walmart at 4:30 a.m, zeroed in on the most important item on the list, stationed myself in the correct line, relieved I was only like the sixth person back, and began wondering where I needed to go next.
While there a nice woman said to me, “Is this the line for X?”(don’t dare mention, my kids read my blog sometimes)
“Yes,” I said.
Desperate look on her face, “My daughter is in line but I don’t think she’ll make it before they’re gone. That lady just called in the back to see if they had anymore. I think I’ll give you my money to get one for me.”
My response: an almost chocking, singular laughs, the kind that bursts out in surprise and said, “Oh.”
When it came to my turn I didn’t even look at her, all I could think was, “What if I take her money and the people behind me riot or get really angry. I can’t handle either of those.” Remember I don’t always think too clearly shortly after waking and it’s worse before sunrise…
So I turned my back to her, processed the card, took my goods, and left. Feeling a little bad. I could have gotten it for her. I have thought about it a few times and sort of wished I had…but then I think, what if I had…
On my way home I picked Caleb. He had really wanted to go to the early morning shop but I feared for his life. So then he asked if I’d get him on my way home… When we got back, made us breakfast, did a couple hours of work, and crashed on the couch at 10. Slept till 4ish. An hour and half later, I was sort of awake. We ate, went to bring Dan and Grace over. John2 showed up and for about an hour and half and we tried to get something to work on YouTube.
He left, I popped in the “Robot” movie I got that morning, and fell promptly to sleep.
TODAY:
I have been the blobbyist thing. I did some work but not a lot, mostly reading research and clicking through hundreds of blog templates finding choices for John1 to pick from. Watched a movie in the afternoon with the kids, I slept through it. But I didn’t sleep through the lots of Sponge Bob, some of which were new to me, and the new iCarly in the evening…Now bed. 
Love ya, night,
Theresa Jane
-whose proud to say, has all her dishes done and wondering why Christmas movies didn’t occur to me all day. Nuts . . .
