My weekend 12/7-12/9

My sons new bike arrived so my boyfriend stopped by Friday and put it together for him after work. My son didn’t realize this past year that the iPod I won years ago isn’t being used. I told him he can have it since I have an iPhone and his sister has an iPod we don’t need that one. He was so excited. I set up iMessage so he could text me and he was sending me all kind of texts and audio messages and giggling like crazy. While my daughter was at her friends house Friday I took an hour copying mylot posts to my computer. The last time I did that was February 2017. I only got as far as May before I had to get up and get other things done for the night. Before bed my son and I watched a movie called “The Christmas Chronicles”. I thought it was okay but he didn’t care for it. Saturday my daughter and I went shopping mostly so she could spend her money buying her friends things for Christmas. While she was shopping around inside Walmart I did some shopkick. The two aisle I went in for hair dye and body wash had about 6 people also doing shopkick. We would pick up the item needed then pass it down to the next person. The fan in my bathroom quit working so I had to go to Lowe’s and buy a new one. It looks simple enough I might be able to hook it up on my own tomorrow. My boyfriend is mad at me and I’m a little bit enraged at him for giving me an attitude and not realizing he’s being an idiot so we did not see each other this weekend. So today I spent cleaning my house like crazy. If he wants to live in filth he can but I won’t! The photo is some of the things I got while out shopping. Most are for Christmas gifts.

Wow! You and your family are doing very well in the Christmas department. I hope things calm down with your boyfriend. Cleaning is a good way to relieve stress.

@DianneN we have a family Christmas party to go to this Friday. My daughter invited her friend and wants to give her her presents so I have to get working on sewing one of her gifts before then. I don't know what will go on with the boyfriend at this point I just don't care to be honest. He is being ridiculous and not accepting it is his fault I don't want his dog here. I've dealing with it since September and I'm done dealing with it anymore.

@DianneN My kids will have fun at the party Friday and that will be enough for me. I'm always shy and awkward at parties but I do it for the kids. My daughter is giving a few gifts out she bought and is really looking forward to it.

@shaggin Enjoy your family party. I’m sure it will be so much fun. I hope your bf comes to his senses. You have enough to deal with as it is.

Nice gifts. Men can be butts sometimes I am sure in time he will realize you are right in this not him. I am sure your son can’t wait to ride the bike or is it a Christmas present?

@Tina30219 he needed a new bike as his was to small so when the price finally dropped on Cyber Monday I got him a new one. My boyfriend can be a real idiot sometimes and this is one of those times. I don't know what will go on from here and can't say I care!

@Tina30219 I feel usually things are pretty good with me and him but this issue with his dog I have reached my breaking point.

@shaggin Glad to hear your son got a bike he can ride that fits his size now. Sorry to hear how your boyfriend is you have had nothing but problems with him for a long time and you don’t deserve this.

I always save my posts on my computer, you never know. Changing the fan in the bathroom is not difficult, I did it last week.

@LadyDuck the problem is I am always using my tablet and so rarely have time to use my computer. My daughter is always on it and when she isn't I am doing cyber school with my son so I am by him on my tablet not on the computer in the other room!

@shaggin It's tricky to save stuff on a tablet, I have one but I am not very good using it.

@sallypup yep and I am still getting good deals! The Adidas cologne I bought for my boyfriends son for Christmas. It was $10. There was $2 cash back on checkout51 and $2 cash back at ibotta so this set only cost me $6. It's my favorite men's cologne so I hope he likes it. I also got him the pepperoni beef jerky as well which was $1.50 cash back on ibotta.

@snowy22315 I have a little shopping left to do for my daughter but I will do that on Amazon. Shopping this weekend was mainly so she could get things for her friends. I do like shopkick abut it can be time consuming. Usually I just do the kicks in the aisles I am I getting groceries but since I had extra time to kill while my daughter was shopping I did more kicks then I usually would.

@Tampa_girl7 you know now that you mention it I bet that was who the actor was. I recognized him but I rarely remember any actors and actresses names.

What is shopkick?

@noni1959 it is an app where you go to a store like Walmart and you see what product barcodes they want you to scan and you earn points for it. There is also daily videos worth 1 point usually 3 of them a day sometimes more for 3 and 5 points. Sometimes in the store they will have you do bonus things for extra points like watching a video or taking a photo of the front of the package. Then the points you can trade in for gift cards which I choose sometimes Walmart and sometimes Amazon.

@JudyEv It's okay it's the same thing we have been arguing over since September. He's mad I'm putting my foot down and acting like an idiot over it.

@andriaperry Well if my boyfriend doesn't get over it I don't care he doesn't have a good reason for being mad and it's his fault I don't want his dog here. I'm not giving in on this one!

I think your family and you work quite well in the Christmas department and I think that is indeed the best way to get rid of heavy stress
