Surviving "Black Friday"

This year we have a little money for Christmas a little early (thank you Dave Ramsey!).  All the other years we've had practically nothing and it wasn't until just before Christmas that we were able to have anything to spend on presents.  So, yesterday, armed with my budget and the Black Friday ads I was prepared to shop my heart out; until, of course, my husband found out that his very pregnant wife was planning on facing the elbow and aggressive cart wielding crowds.  "Not a chance!" was the response when I shared my ambitious plan to attack both Target and Walmart bright and early Friday morning by myself.  "But...but...I...the sales..."  I know, I'm just a little crazy.  But I mean, really, $3 PJ sets, $14 for flannel sheets, a $39 Singer sewing machine! 

My sweet husband--who hates regular shopping--offered to take my list and go shopping for me!  So, up he got at 3:45 Friday morning armed with my list and budget and headed out to stand in line and brave the elbow and aggressive cart wielding crowds.  He came home at 7 with everything on my list except the $3 jammies.  I love my husband!!
