NoJoMo 30 in NOJOMO

Last day of NoJoMo - I think I only missed two days which isn’t bad! I may participate in the December photo month, but I haven’t found a list of prompts yet - so we’ll see.

I just finished up ordering some of the lasts Christmas presents I need. All I need to do now is order the photo gift for my inlaws, mom, dad, and my Grandma. I found my sister a wooden map from Game of Thrones that has holes cut out in it to put your beer bottle caps in. She drinks a lot of specialty beers so I figured she may like it. Hopefully? She’s hard to buy for.

I also got Dakota a Hawkins Middle School shirt from Stranger Things.

Speaking of Dakota. I told him last night about Santa. He legit still believed. Mainly because of him not going to school, I think. But I was worried with him hanging out with his friends that it would be brought up and I didn’t want him to be embarrassed. He was just kinda ‘meh’ about it, which he is with most thing. But he said he would keep it to himself. I suspect Sawyer is doubting it a little this year, but he hasn’t come out and actually said anything yet.

Dakota did graduate from O/T yesterday, so that was awesome! His P/T, Payden, and I talked and agreed that we should continue P/T for now mainly working on his balance and body awareness. He has definitely gotten BETTER, but I think he could still use some work.

Switching gears again. I did a little shopping while Dakota was at Youth Group last night and I finally figured out what I’m going to get Bobby. He’s wanted a pair of boat shoes for church and I found a nice pair of Sperry’s at Academy last night marked down to $50 which I’m told is a super good deal so I need to write down his shoe size before we head out to get groceries today and go grab him a pair. We said we weren’t buying for each other this year, but whatever. I gave him fair warning last night that I had found something I was planning on getting him just so he didn’t feel like an ass when he didn’t buy me anything.

Payday was today, I got all the bills paid and stuck some money into savings. This is the first full month with Bobby’s new pay from his promotion. I told him Christmas stuff aside(which I have all figured out and written into the budget), we HAVE to be better this month. Time to tighten down the reigns again and starting saving.

Today we need to go grocery shopping after school. Tomorrow is the Christmas parade downtown, which is super exciting. Even more exciting? It should be in the high 40s-50s! No freezing this year. I’m not sure if Bobby is planning on going with us, he may have to work later so we’ll see. They are doing ice sculpting down by the big tree on Saturday, Bobby is pretty sure he’s working all day so I may take the kids down. I also need to attempt to take a halfway decent Christmas picture for our cards, too.

No clue when we’ll get our tree. Hopefully at some point this weekend!
