I have been so tired today. I did not sleep well last night again. I even took a sleep pill, but it did not work. I need to go find the other pills I've used before, they worked better. I really hope I can sleep tonight.

This morning the kids and I went to the grocery store for our weekly grocery shopping. I am really not into baking this year, but they want to make cookies so I was going to get those holiday cookies that Pillsbury puts out during each holiday, but they didn't have any at Shop and Save. We did get some sugar cookies and chocolate chip cookies, though.

We stopped at Dierburgs on the way home to see if they had any holiday cookies. Not only did they have those, we found cut outs with icing, cookies with red and green chips, brownies with red and green chips, and cookies with chocolate mint chips in them. I think even though we're doing it the easy way we'll still have a good variety and I can still send tins to the neighbors. We'll bake them tomorrow.

Before we came home we had to stop at Quick Trip. Michael needed gift cards and scratch off lottery tickets for his employees so we stopped to get those for him.

When we got home the kids let me nap. They were really good about letting me nap today. Probably because I was so grouchy at the grocery store.

I only allowed myself to nap for an hour. After that I made myself some lunch. The kids had eaten their lunchables earlier. It was my plan to fold some laundry and then wrap presents after eating, but I really had a hard time getting myself motivated today.

I finally got myself downstairs around 1:40 p.m. I was down there wrapping presents until 4:40, but I am finished wrapping. The kids helped me clean up the family room down there as much as we could. I couldn't put the wrapping stuff away because Michael still has to wrap presents yet. But, we got it clean enough so they could play on the Wii again.

We had toasted ravioli with sauce, green beans and chips for supper tonight. They all helped me clean up supper, which was very nice. After supper, Michael went in search of giant bows and I folded a load of laundry. Now, I'm sitting on my butt for the rest of the night. I really hope I can sleep tonight. I am so happy my kids were so good today and hope they are like that the rest of the winter break.
