Totally Worth It

For MONTHS leading up to Christmas, all the girls talked about was how they each were hoping for an iPod Touch. We explained that if we were able to swing it, they likely wouldn't get any other gifts from us. They assured us that would be a-okay. Well, sort of ...

Amanda: But we'll still get stuff in our stockings, right?


Me: Probably.


Megan: And Santa will still bring us gifts, right?


Seriously?! Last year they stop believing in Santa, but now that gifts are on the line, he's back in their lives? Great.

Me: I guess we'll have to wait and see.


Well, thanks to Target, we were able to purchase the iPods, and receive $80 in store gift cards to purchase what we needed to from Santa! Pretty cool, I'd say.

But what's even MORE cool than THAT?!

LEVERAGE!!


That's right. One of the girls {I won't say which one} lost her iPod privileges for an evening as punishment for defiance, and she cried more over that, than any spanking she's ever received.

Merry Christmas to ME!
