Tree Lights

Today, Bowyn and I decided to put up the Christmas Tree, or at least start the process anyways.  Everyone knows what a chore it is to drag all your stuff out and go through it.  It takes a lot of time, patience and days to get everything just the way you like it (that's if your as OCD as I am that is...).  It's all well and good and so absolutely beautiful when it's all done.  I just love it.

BUT, what I do hate are LIGHTS that don't work.  Can you tell I'm angry about this?  You know how hard it is to find just one bulb out of a whole strand that's out?  Almost impossible.  And what's the point of all those stupid extras they give you if you can't find it?  Here's and sxample:  Bowyn put up his little tree and decorated in all by himself, it is so cute he did such a great job, but guess what?  That's right the stupid lights aren't working.  I sat there on the floor for a good 1/2 hr. trying to find the culprit, and never could.  I was ready to drop kick it out the door (Hot flash approaching...).  I'll get back to it later.

Well last year we purchased 2 pre-lit tree's in planters just for the beautiful ambiance they posses, and don't you know one is out now.  Ugh, I feel like Charlie Brown, nothing is going right.

Can't they make life time lights, like the forever stamp? 

So I decided to tackle the Big tree lights later after I've calmed down (just so you know, we do check them before we put them on the tree, but even that doesn't work sometimes).  Just a Pre-warning though, if you read in the paper that some woman in Northern Kentucky lost her mind over Tree Lights, you'll know who it is. 

PS) Have a nice day.
