Then comes the second set of gifts which is even harder. I must think of everyone’s likes and dislikes. My mind has gotten a little bad since getting pregnant and that makes it challenging. Luckily for my step-dad I choose a DVD movie he has been wanting to see but hasn’t got the chance. For my brother it’s more challenging. Luckily I overhear him talking about a CD he really wants and can’t afford. I do a lot of searching but make the discovery that no stores carry that CD. I must then surf the web. However I am now out of money thanks to more bills coming in. Luckily my love for writing comes in handy and through a site that I write for I am given a $25 gift certificate to use on Amazon.com No words can describe my happiness as I have just discovered that Amazon has that CD so I immediately order it.
Now it is on to my mother who I must find one last present for. I finally decide on a small designer purse which I pray she likes. She usually carries big purses and always complains of them being too bulky. So my list is complete. The bills however are still coming in and giving me a headache. The false labor pains have been coming on and off. I find my gut feeling getting stronger and stronger. Oh what a Christmas it will be. The manic search for a tree that has been left to the last minute, the bills that need to be paid and the baby that may be arriving on Christmas Day. One thing I have learned about Christmas is that it is always hectic.
