Guest guest Posted December 15, 2001 Report Share Posted December 15, 2001 Sounds great....I'm jealous. I actually hope it will snow soon. It sure won't seem like Xmas without snow. We have a few more days, though. Enjoy your day!

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2001 Report Share Posted December 15, 2001 It wasn't that great. :-( Seems I have taken on more autistic traits than I thought. First, I wanted to go to department store for a comforter for . NO kids' comforters left. OK, I can handle that; after all, it's 10 days before Christmas. The to the hardware store on the corner. IT " S NOT THERE ANYMORE! I cannot tell you how much that upset me; it just ruined my whole day. I didn't feel like shopping at all. If I couldn't buy the pliers I wanted at the store I'd planned to buy them at, what was the point??? Nevertheless, I pushed on. One-quart jars. Nope, noplace that they weren't ugly. Groceries. My usual store was busy. I walked in, I walked out. The idea of pushing a cart through all of those noisy, brightly-clad throngs of people was TOO MUCH. I ended up going to the nearly-empty very expensive grocery store. Came home, Marc asked how my day went. I swept my arms over the pile of grocery bags and said, " I spent $143, but I don't know if I really bought anything to eat, " then went into a quiet room and read for two hours. <sigh> Jacquie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 15, 2001 Report Share Posted December 15, 2001 Jacquie. I understand. I have done the same thing. Surprisingly enough, some days are just not made for shopping. And like you, when I come home, Shaun wants to know what there is to eat, and all I can do it shrug and say, " I don't know. " Cause after all that money spent, it's amazing how there can STILL be nothing left to eat on the bad shopping days. I am due to go shopping tomorrow. Christmas shopping. I hate, absolutely HATE Christmas shopping. (not to be confused with hating Christmas.... but I just think the meaning of Xmas is lost if you have to shop till you drop for it every year....> Can you try again tomorrow? This IS an awful time of year to shop. Truth is, we should have done all of this back in August..... LOL Grace Re: Joy.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2001 Report Share Posted December 16, 2001 Jacquie: I am sorry it didnt go well. At least you got some grocery shopping done. I hate grocery shopping with JD with a passion. Actually, come to think of it, I hate any shopping with JD!!! It is good that you still got to take refuge and read (can you tell I am in book withdrawal)! Take care of yourself and hang tough! , Columbus, OH Mom to , 15, possible bipolar Annie, 12, so far so good JD, 8, severe ADHD, Autism, and my reason for getting out of bed each morning!
