Have I totally Lost My MIND?

I think so!As you all know I strted my Christmas shopping and only have Donald left to shop for.I done this so I wouldn't be stressed in December.Well yesterday something happened and I'm sure I totally lost my mind.I woke up,got the kids off to school,then Kaden and I headed to the bank.After leaving the bank we hit big lots,mcdonalds,my cousins thrift store,the chamber of commerce,and then we came home.We done fine at the bank and big lots but when we got to mcdonalds things changed.I had 2 monopoly game pieces {1 for a med fry and 1 for a small soft drink}.I told the lady what I had and she told me only 1 game piece per person per visit.I let her know I had my kid with me so she said that would work so I continued to place my order of 1 free small dr pepper,1 free med fry,1 32 oz dr pepper,and 2 hamburgers.She told me my grand total was $2.90 so I pulled around and gave her $3.00 only to have her hand me $1.00 back.I drove away from mcdonalds paying $1.90.I felt so goos after that so we headed to my cousins.There I found a bassinet,2 infant car seats,and a bouncey seat along with crib bedding and infant clothes.Oh I instantly thought of craiglist so I packed up those treasures to bring home with me.Then I went to the chamber of commerce and noticed avon books laying on the table.Ok so now I am in pure bliss.I grabbed a book held it tight and asked if I could have it.The poor lady looked at me and laughed and said I could have it.I called my orded in last night and have to call her again today to place another order.Then I came home and started reading the daily quill to find the salvation army needed bell ringer groups to ring bells for 8 hour shifts.Ok so I called and got 2 shifts.Thats 16 hours of standing.By this time I am thinking I have totally lost my mind.I then get bored so I go to topix.com and put an add up that I want to adopt 2 children for Christmas.It didn't take long for m e to get bites.Do you remember I am already buying for 8 kids?Well make that 10 now.So as you see yesterday I lost my mind and now I sit here reminding myself that God makes way's where there seem to be none.I know I can do this!

I think it's awesome that you were already buying for 8 and you found it in your heart (and pocketbook) to take on 2 more.... and chose to stand for 16 hours and ring a bell. It shows you have a huge heart!!! =0)

You certainly have a spirit of giving. May God bless you more.

E,it aint the pocket book.I find that I can sell stuff and turn around and spend it on other people.After reading my blog just now I felt the hot burning sensation of tears fill my eyes.I know I'm a bit weird :0)
