Is it Friday yet?

Cause I need it to be! WHEW! What a week! It started off good enough but I need the break already! Between the kids homework, cleaning house, calling/running around to find another PS2 for Glen..I am beat...

Glen had his 8th birthday on Teusday...We are having his party this Saturday but we let him open his gift from us on his day....Yup we got him a PS2...And let me tell you at least down here...they are hard to find...flying out of electronic departements as soon as they get them in...I finally found one at Wally World (AKA Wal-Mart) it was the last one they had...but the problem was...it wouldn't work...Oh we hooked it up right and all but the menu never came up as it should...Called the 800 number for Playstation and they basically determined that there was an internal problem and I could either send it to them to fix or take it back to Wally World and get another one...Yeah okay like they are going to have them....Called 5 Walmarts that are in our area, Called the 4 Targets, 2 K-marts, Circut City, Brandsmart...I finally hit the Jackpot at Best Buy....They had just got 10 of them in that morning and would they hold it for me...why yes they would! WHEW! Cause I couldn't really handle the look of dissapointment on Glen's face to have the Toy he wanted but couldn't play!!!! Poor kid....So off I go to take the defective PS2 back to WalMart and then when I got off work I scooted on up to Best Buy where the salesman basically told me that while they weren't supposed to hold it for customer's, he believed me about it being my son's B-day present and felt bad so he held it....the other 9 were already sold!

So I made Glen's day when I came home with a new PS2 and it works!!!!! He's all happy now...Playing Shrek 2...*Sigh* I felt better.

But the rest of the week besides that has been more hectic than I know what to do with..UGH! I want a nice quiet weekend.....Might have it on Sunday....Since Mike and I will be celebrating 2 years together this Halloween...I am taking the kids to the Beach armed with a camera that takes black and white photo's.....Going to make a collage of photo's of the kids.....I have seen this done before and it should be awesome....He'll love it! Just all natural pictures of the kids playing...nothing posed or anything....Should be wonderful....but then my butt is resting the rest of the day!!!!! hahaha.....

Well you all take care now! Gotta run!

Laura,

What is up down there? No hardwired phones, now a shortage of PS2's? Sheesh! LOL Walk into any store up this way and they have shelves upon shelves of PS2's...both new and pre-owned.

I just to hate our PS2, but once I got stuck on the Tiger Woods game, boychild and I play it together at least once a week.

I am glad Glen is enjoying it. It is the type of present that never gets old!
