We want the Wii

This all come about getting close to Christmas 2007. Mainly from the mouth of my youngest child.

But, this had been a difficult year for me financially. What money I had in savings was to be used to send him on his Washington, DC trip, with the other Safety Patrols from his school.

Plus, I knew I had his birthday coming up in a few months after Christmas. Was just such a tight year, with just regular Christmas presents, the trip and his birthday, I knew I'd never be able to swing a Wii.

Plus, the fact, if I could I was having a horrible time finding one, like most everyone else looking.

But, I did have a good friend who worked at a local gaming store, told me when the next couple of shipments were expected, and what time to be there to be ALMOST assured a Wii.

I weighed my options, and steered clear of the attempting to get a Wii for Christmas. I told my son, just be patient and we would try for one for his birthday.
