Once again, one of my kids wants a toy that is impossible to get. This year, one of my daughters wants a Zhu Zhu Pets toy. Actually, I was a little smarter this year than in past years and purchased some extra Zhu Zhu Pets items when I was buying my daughter's birthday gifts, however, I was outsmarted by that little stinker, because she wants the Zhu Zhu Pets hamster car for Christmas and that was about the only piece of the set I didn't get. Our local Toys R Us store hasn't had any zhu zhu toys in weeks. I have been trying to bid on a car on Ebay for awhile now, but I always seem to be outbid. This craziness happens to me every year with at least one of my kids. We have lived through the original Tickle Me Elmo (I still have that) frenzy, the Furbies mess, the 3 foot tall dollhouse that was nowhere to be found, the Cozy Coupe craze, and of course the Wii Fit silliness from last year. The thing that is the most difficult about not being able to find a certain wished-for toy is that my kids always believed (my youngest still believes) that even though I might not be able to find it in the store, Santa will be able to bring it. They just don't make life easy, do they? Anyway, I'm not too worried about not finding the car. I still have a couple of hamsters and a wheel, and a little sleeping bag thing. Santa is bringing something much cooler than Zhu Zhu pets anyway.
