Last night was haircut night... our appointment wasn't till 7:30(Piper's chill out and jammie time) but the plan was for her to go first and then Steve would take her home and put her to bed. Well, sometimes things never go as planned. She was none to happy to be having her haircut. She cried the whole time and wouldn't sit still - but she sat still enough to at least get her bangs cut!! That was what needed cut the most so we are good. I let her leave and daddy took her home and put her to bed. I think it was too late in the evening. Plus I think she is getting a cold. Of course she is - its the holidays and we have to run every in the world so why not get sick! I just hope its not the croup. I am scared to death of that. I am scared that I will not know she has it. I know what i am to do if she wakes up breathing hard but I am just scared. I was reading my baby book last night on croup and of course the dad who says "What makes you think she has the croup" with that you are a crazy mommy look... I said I don't know that I am just concerned with the sound of the cough! She coughed early in the night but pretty much after 10:30 I didn't hear a word from her. I went in to check on her a couple of times and she was breathing normal and sleeping peacefully. Babies are so pretty when they are sleeping.

Not much exciting went on this week. Things have been really busy for me at work. Wrapping up many year end things because this week is the last payroll of the year and getting ready for the first payroll of 2008 since that will be here before I know it with being gone much of next week due to the holidays and vacation.

I have the normal mommy things left to do for Christmas. Wrapping presents and shopping for food. I like we have all our gift shopping done. So this weekend it will be hitting the grocery! My favorite place! I hate the grocery! Always have - always will. Lucky for me my husband doesn't mind it at all! I love him. Not only does he spoil me with nice gifts - he likes to go to the grocery! I think I will keep him around.....

Steve got our relief bands in the mail the other day. They are pretty cool looking. If you don't read his blog(which somedays I don't blame you!) Here is the website to the relief bands. http://www.reliefbeads.org/ You all should check it out and hey - buy a couple!

You know I was thinking the other day about Christmas gifts... do people like homemade gifts just as much as store bought gifts? Does it mean more that it was made by the one you love verse just getting something from Macy's or does it just not matter - its the thought that counts?
