I have several family members and Christmas time can get expensive.  So from year to year I try and save boxes and such so that I do not have to purchase so many items the next year to wrap presents with.  This year however I have nothing saved.  I do not know how that happened but I do not.

The other day my sick son whom I had stayed home with because he was sick apparently decided, that he felt better once Mom fell asleep on the couch.  I woke up to a very quiet house.  I had only been asleep for like 30 minutes but he had done it.  I walked up the stairs to find all my storage containers in the spare bedroom rummaged thru and there was stuff everywhere.  I stood and watched him for a minute til he was not paying much attention and then yelled what do you think your doing.  He  jumped almost out of his skin and then started picking up his mess.  Only because we had talked earlier about how he makes a mess whenever I have my back turned or fall asleep.
