I was around some yesterday but only really checking in on things. I took the day off from work and didn't get online till after the kids went to school so I didn't get to starting the new week of freebies and I figured a "regular" would pick up my slackI then had to go to the registry (DMV) to get a new liscense (I tried to renew online but it had been too long so I needed a new picture
) and then I went shopping for the day and went out to lunch by myself. It was odd to go into stores/a restaurant and not have to worry about what someone else wants, touches, etc. But it was also really nice. Then last night after the kids got out of school we had to run to BJ's to pick up a couple things, then my inlaws stopped by to drop off some stuff, and then I put on the Grinch (the non-animated Jim Carrey version) for the kids and promptly fell asleep on the couch

We are always here for backup!
Your day sounds relaxing- I love walking around by myself- it is so peaceful. (But I have nothing to compare it to
)I think everyone has to get a pic on their license now- don't they? I remember back in the day, you would have to pack a lunch just to go to the DMV (not sure if it was the same in other states)! It was an all day thing. I dreaded it- but now- I can be in and out in 10 minutes or less!

By the time she filed a police report, they had charged about $1000 worth of stuff at Wal-mart and Kroger on her card.
And the crappy police department said they had no leads and no idea of figuring it out! DUH! Tigger and the Super Sleuths could have solved that crime.
It was obviously someone that worked there since they were closing as we left. All the cops would have to do is look at the video from Wal-mart and match it to a face but that was too much trouble.
This still pi$$es me off to this day that they didn't even try.
I hope the police there are more understanding.
My daughter had her purse stolen in school early in the year. She had her brand new coach wallet in it (with no money LOL) and her cell phone. What a pain.. It ended up though that the school resource officer (local cop) found it in the boy's bathroom, and nothing was missing! I guess the boy that took it didn't want the wallet, phone or makeup that was in it. LOL
Best of all I get to get away from the kids for a few days 
I guess I can wrap DFIL's gift in it but I don't think it will work for Santa.
