Wii are nuts. I have been trying to buy a Wii Game Console since Christmas. In the last two days I have bid on 30 Wii Consoles on Ebay. After calling every Gamestop within 20 miles, spending last Saturday on a Wii Trek. Someone at Target told us they were getting a big shipment of Wii Systems on Sunday morning. We decided to do the right thing and wait till Monday. We even asked Heavenly Father to help us find one in our prayers since we wanted to do the right thing. I went to Target on Monday and they told me they had 72 systems that were sold by 3 pm Sunday. As I am on Ebay, I keep seeing receipts from Target (They require the seller to show a receipt to verify that they bought the system). We have a game at Christmas but still no Wii. Okay while writing this blog, I won. Now I am scared. The system is used and the seller doesn't have many transactions. A few years ago I bought an Xbox and received a box of junk in the mail. Ebay wouldn't help me because they said it was a dispute on the quality of what I purchased. After all I did receive a box full of video game stuff. The seller disappeared. I wasn't the only one. Three or four other folks received their Xbox.
Oh well...Do I ask the kids to pray that it is a legitimate seller.
Enough for now...love to all.

Isn't it amazing the things we get obsessed about? We are doing it for the "good" of our children, but sometimes it is just me being obsessed and wanting to get it done!

I have thought about a WII, but then not again. I will find one sometime...
