aaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!! nooooo!!!!!!!! Not December already! I need more time. Not to mention I compeltley forget about the car payment due today- remembered it at 5:30 this morning...

I am so so soooo tired. But I imagine I feel 100 times better than my SIL and her family.
The wake/funeral service was all done very nicely, but so incredibly heart wrenching.
Kathy has a big family- she is the only girl in 4 siblings. Her 1 brother had 4 kids, 1 has 3, and the oldest brother lost his son in 2002. The funeral parlor was just packed on Monday night. The service yesterday was beautifully done. Kathy did a speech about her mom and we all laughed and cried along with her through the entire thing. He mom was a really cool lady. Very close family.... and the "heart" of all them is like Kathy- generous, fun, warm..... Obviously they are not technically family as they are my brother's IL's, but we all consider ourselves family.

Sally, I thought of you during the service- the pastor sang a song. Do not be afraid??? I closed my eyes and imagined you singing it.

I am off to clean for my client in a bit. I hope to chill out here a bit this afternoon- miss you guys so much. I need this place to lift my spirits!

I'll be back for personals, but Linda W- I just want to say I was soooo incredibly happy and relieved that your baby girl didn't need the surgery!


xoxoxo to all of you!
 
Good Morning Ladies!!

I am in a rush myself this morning...I have so much to do...the least of which is send off my albums to be printed for Christmas...I have three..YIKES...I am uploading them TODAY!!!

Again to all of you Thanks so much for your support my family and I really appreciate it so much!! Just reading your kind words makes things better!!

Jaime....I hope your neighbor is okay!!! Is there any news?? How scary!!! But I am glad to hear your work day went smoothly!!

Leslie....Awe...thank you for thinking of our little princess!! So how are things with you?? Glad you popped back in!!

Clara.....How was your class?? I am praying really hard for those children!! Hopefully the judge doesn't come back with something crazy and just lets those kids stay with the grandmother....how terrible the daughter is for spiking the grandfathers beer!! She really needs some different kind of help....this type of action would warrant a Phsych hold here....by her putting pills in someone else's drink, you could have them committed for being a threat to others....maybe that would be a good thing for her to get her really good help. I hope all goes well! And thank you SO much for starting the Christmas Card Swap!! I think you are just awesome!!!!

Andrea..........Yay for doing the challenges...Sweetie I really hope they can find some answers for you about your sweet Genny when you go to the Dr.!! I know it's frustrating!! I hear you on the sleeping thing too!! Traci almost NEVER slept from age 2 1/2 until she started Kindergarten!! If we had known back then...it was the sign of bipolar disorder...maybe she could have gotten on meds and had a less stressful time as a youth. I really will pray that they find some answers for you!! ((HUGS))

Soco.....thank you so much sweetie...I hope your little one and you are feeling better!!! and I am happy to see you pop in the daily O's!! ((HUGS))

Ona....reading back through yesterday's O's and I am still scared to death to read your story!!! more ((((((((HUGS)))))))) I know they are a few years late from when you needed them, but you must still get chills about this when you relive it!!!

LindaS...Awe...thanks sweetie!! I am tough when I need to be....but it's hard to think of that sweet little girl being tough....but apparently she may have inherited some of that from her Nana..hehehe!!

Awe Sally.....(((Hugs))) for you too....reliving your experience!!! Is it any wonder we come here to lean on each other!!!!???? I just love you all!!! Such terriffic people!!

My phone has been ringing non stop for 3 days....I am really hoping that it calms today, or the ringer breaks!! LOL!!! Everyone knows that she is on the mend now...I am hoping to get all of my stuff done early today and then I can take a nap this afternoon with Ayden!!...I am need of one!! 3 nights in a row without much sleep...I am just about a zombie!!

(((HUGS))) to you all and I will check back in this afternoon!!
 
Chris.........I can only imagine the sadness at this time!! I hope that your SIL and her family can find peace soon and be able to enjoy their holidays just a little bit!! I will pray for them too!! It sounds like it was beautiful service. And I bet Sally would have sang that song so beautifully!!! And YES YOU ARE FAMILY!!! Family in my book is not about blood!!!! My two daughters and DH are proof of this!!!! They are not his biological children, but he is way closer with them than his blood children....I have a friend that I always call her my family...she has 4 grown children and 7 grandchildren, and they all call me Mama L or Nana too!!! Love them just like mine!!!

Morning all! I'm feeling so sluggish today - I think it is the drop in temperature and the cold, drizzly, gray day outside my windows. I'm not looking forward to taking my dd to her riding lesson in this weather this evening - especially since the two little ones will be tagging along.

I'm thinking about taking a vacation day on Friday to do some holiday shopping. I already purchased most of the kids' presents, but now I've changed my mind a bit about what to give them. I'm thinking about returning most of the things I got for the girls and getting other things. They haven't made it easy on me considering they don't have any must have items on their lists and when I take them to the store to get ideas, they want EVERYTHING they see. I also need to shop for middle dd's birthday which is just a few days after Christmas, so I'm double stuck there.

Leslie wins the prize! She guessed correctly - my neighbor ended up having several kidney stones and while that's not necessarily good news, it was sure a relief that it wasn't something more serious.
 
Chris - so sorry to hear about your SIL. That funeral was done so quickly after her passing...

LindaW - I'm so glad to hear that she is continuing to get better. Please get some sleep - you need to be well-rested to get through the holiday mess...

Jaime - I had a feeling that's what it could be. My mom is a volunteer at the hospital and she said there's been a rash of kidney stone cases lately coming into the hospital ER - don't know what's causing it though. And I remember from my dad's experience years ago a number of those symptoms.

I'm doing the work avoidance thing right now even though it is month-end accounting closing. Well, and I'm waiting for co-workers to send me items that they should have turned in yesterday to complete my pieces of the close. I'm getting very annoyed.

Last week we took our younger dog in to the vet for his annual dental, and the kid had gained 8 pounds in 6 months and is now 50 pounds - fat for a beagle mix dog! So now I have to walk the dog nearly every day. Of course it's now really cold out and I have cold-air triggered asthma. And yet I thank the dog - I told him he is helping me get back in shape since now that means I have to walk. I've decided that I'm going to be walking a lot more (I have a treadmill for bad weather days) and that I will be joining my mom in doing a half-marathon in May. I've got to sign up by the end of this month. DH isn't even aware that my mother and I will be doing this, so the training ought to be interesting. At least I know by then the dog won't be a "fat boy" anymore.

Hope everyone is having a good "hump" day!
 
Good Morning to you!!
Good Morning to you!!
Good Morning to Oscraps!!
Good Morning to you!!

Heehee!! I'm in a pretty decent mood this morning...and procrastinating. I'm supposed to be doing my stupid classes, but they are sooooooooooooo boring. I only have to take the classes I failed the pretests on, which is about half of them. LOL!! But still. They are boring. I of course waited until the very last minute. I had all year to do them, but they are borrrrrrrrrrrring! In case you didn't catch that I am whining like a 7 year old. Whah!! So, I'll chit chat with you guys instead. Yay you!! :)

So, things are good. I sat and chatted with my neighbor for a bit last night. I kind of got on her a bit. Her and her husband are having a really hard time communicating because he sees everything in black and white because he is the kids grandfather but not their mom's father and she is the grandmother and her mother. So everything is black and white to him and very gray to her. So when she gets annoyed with the black and white she just shuts him out and won't talk to him. So, I told her that wasn't going to work for very long and the kids needed to see functional parents that could communicate and they needed to find a way to make it work because the TWO of them were good for them. If they keep up like this a year from now they'll kill each other. She said they wouldn't kill each other they'd just end it. I told her that wasn't the answer either. She knows this but change doesn't happen overnight and it is scary because it will get ugly first. Both of them will have to listen and compromise. He'll have an easier time than she will. We already know the judge will be favorable to the grandparents. She has already made that pretty clear in the past when she reamed the parents at the last court session. It is just a matter of seeing how ugly it gets this time around with the parents and what they try and pull and what new stipulations get added or changed and what is next and how long all of this will go on. The daughter keeps coming up with more and more "plans." They get sillier and sillier. The newset plan is that she thinks a friend of hers who hasn't seen her in years who is a social worker on the east coast should get custody and theyw ill all live on the east coast. I'm guessing she hasn't seen ANY of the court paperwork and once she has will probably not want to touch the situation with a 10 foot pole. I wish these situations were easier processes but I can definately understand why they are not.

So, this morning was interesting...I was in between snoozes when I heard the house phone ringing downstairs. I didn't get downstairs in time and looked at the caller ID but it didn't say who it was only the number that called. I thought I was going to regret it but I called the number back anyway since they called before 7AM. It was a neighbor from across the street. She was calling because she had a super early appt and was trying to call her dh to wake him up but his phone wasn't working. So she was calling me to see if I would knock on their door or ring their doorbell to wake him up to get their kids ready for school. I wasn't real thrilled about the idea of ringing the bell that early in the morning but I did it anyway. I didn't stick around to see if he woke up though. Just rang the bell and went home to get myself and Ethan ready. Apparently he woke up though. When I was taking Ethan to the bus stop he was sending his boys off the bus stop and thanked me for ringing the bell. His wife came over a little later with starbucks gift cards to say thanks. i'm not their biggest fans but i like them today. for sure!!

ugh!! I have to finish at least one of my classes before lunch. i'll be back for personals later.
 
LindaW, I'm happy to know that your little Savannah keeps getting better! I don't come very often to the Daily O's because I'm always running, but I'm happy to be able to leave you some love and support here when you girls need it! :)

Thank you and thank you LindaS too for asking about my little one and myself. After a terrible night on Monday, we saw the doctor yesterday. She's got a throat infection (after the earache of last week). The doctor changed the antibiotics she was already having and prescribed a stronger one. Last night was still awful, but today she was better, she had no more fever and was just a little tired (she took a nap of almost 4 hours!!!). I hope she'll be well very soon. :) I'm a little better too... the bronchitis is still there, but I do feel a better, just very tired too. But at least, I could scrap a little today... I hadn't had the energy to do it since some days ago and today I did. I'm happy about that! :)

Thank you ladies!!! I hope everyone is having a great day! :)
