Merry Christmas

So it is Christmas Eve {HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE} and I randomly find myself with a few spare minutes. The Bray-ster is sleeping, the house is (moslty) clean, and Ben is out on some unknow last minute shopping trip (yes it is 4:50pm on Christmas Eve). I desperatly need to post all about Thanksgiving and our trip to Texas, but you will have to settle for a quick story about my Christmas Shopping Experience.

So Monday I finally get the courage to go out and get my Christmas Shopping completed. While I am out I decide to try on some jeans. After counting out my clothing for the dressing room attendant I set the clothes in the front of the cart in Brayden's lap. One of the hangers attacks him and pokes him in the eye. It was under his eyelid!!! He screams. I quickly hold his head still and get that thing out of there. I yank him from the cart and book it out of the store with Brayden screaming. As soon as I get to my car, and Brayden had settled down, I take a look at his eye. It looked fine, but my nephew had just had an eye accident recently and he had a flap or tear or something, so I drive him to my pediatrician's office. They appreciate a crazy mom and got me in right away. {thanks Dr. Martin} Well as if the actually poking wasn't enough, they had to do an eye dye test. It took me and a nurse to hold him down while the Dr. dropped glow-in-the-dark dye into his eye. The poor child screamed and cried. Then they look at the eye with a black light to look for tears. Thankfully, his eye is fine and there were no tears. And needless to say, I never got jeans that day.

Well my time is up, Bray is waking and Ben should be home any minute. I hope you all are having a merry time with your loved ones...
Merry Christmas,
