bah humbug :( I am in a bit of a funk. Might be just that the weather is so cold. December stresses me out so much, I can't stand it!
Then I wake up in the middle of the night worrying over stuff. That makes me overtired and more cranky. blergh!

But I'll be ok- I just have to start counting days til spring :D

Good morning Laurie! Hope that the snow didn't muck up your commute too much.

Linda S- poor Syd! How is she feeling today?

ME- hehe, Target will get you every time

Petra- I would feel the same as you- only Southern CA for me. Drive safe!

Shellie- be warned, although I think it is too late. Oscraps/digi-scrapping is *very* addictive!

Meg- so happy to hear that you worked things out with your MIL. whew!

Hi Sally! Can you send some of that cheer over to NJ?

Trudy- I hear ya on the calenders. I think I bit off more than I can chew on a scrap "job." I do gift baskets for my neighbors every year. Mostly F-W stuff, but I throw in coffee/wine etc. This year, the wife is very sick- cancer- and they don't know if she'll make it to C-mas. I thought it would be nice to do a page or two of her g-kids. Now I am doing a whole 8x8 album- but I am going to have to do all of the printing here since there is no way I can get 20 pages done and printed before C-mas. What did I get myself into?
At any rate, you are going be seeing lots of lo's of "not my kids" inthe gallery between now and C-mas!

Clara- you are killing me with your butt!!!! :pound: I somehow got a huge bruise on my leg- no idea how- but it is nasty. I pulled my pj's down to show Gary the other day. GMTA! LOL


Gotta run, see y'all soon!
 
morning all - the snow was really just white stuff in the air- not real snow like where I used to live is getting- we have cold though- real cold- that I am not ready for. I have done so little for Christmas prep- yikes- the beauty of older kids and not exchanging presents with every member of my or my husbands family. Another busy day at work and I hope to come back tonight and do personals- could ask trudy how her night went with the bubble bath and all.

Clara- did the alarm work- sorry about the stairs- I fell off a sled as a kid onto frozen dirt - that hurt for a long time- I empathize.

Hello to everyone and have a wonderful day right where you are
 
Good morning ladies. Sydney is better...so back to school today! Work is crazy busy right now....ugh. And Laurie, talk about totally unprepared...haven't done a thing. :-( Oh wel, it will get done...it always does!

Running late so just a quick hello from me! Everyone have a good day. Keep fighting the winter funk!

Hey ladies....just popping in for a minute!!! NANA IS SICK!!! UUGGHH!!! I started feeling like crap Sunday evening and it has gotten worse....the worst is the coughing....I can't even talk without going into a horrible coughing spell....the antihistamine I am taking totally KNOCKS ME OUT COLD!!! I took it yesterday morning and fell asleep WITH THE KIDS HERE AAAAAACCCKKKK!!! I gated them in the play room so they could not hurt themselves...they were not happy, but I was too worried!!

If the OTC meds don't knock this out of me by Thursday...I am going to the DR....

So I will not be around much!!!

Chris...I think I may just need that "bottle"...who has it?? You or Ona?? when all else fails, HUH??
 
Good morning. It was a brisk 27 degrees this morning, and I noticed on our ride in this morning as I am turning up the heat and sipping my cup of hot tea, the guy in the car next to me was eating an ice cream cone at 7:30 am. So flippin funny! :) HA!

Chris - hope you have a good day. Hope today is less stressful.

Linda - December is crazy isn't it? But I am glad to hear Sydney is better.

Nana - oh, no, get well soon. Do you take Nyquil ever? That is truly a miracle medicine. When I had a cold last month, I was wishing I could've taken it, but can't do that when preggo.

Laurie - Brrrr ... stay warm

Kristy- another birthday! awesome. I really love how you change your siggie with the photos of your girls.

Love to you all!!
 
good morning ladies!

anyone see inception? i think i'll rent it from blockbuster first. :)

chris - i'm already on the path of no return...LOL

kristy - time does fly every fast!! it only felt like yesterday years ago...i'm feeling nostalgic.
 
Good morning "O" family... Off to work again this morning and then tomorrow I finally see the specialist, will let you know what happens with my jaw. It's :rain: here today and lots of it!! Better than :smow: though! you don't have to shovel the rain.

Nana - gentle :hug: and :kiss: for you hope that you feel better my U.S. sister!! take care of you!!

Laurie - Tee Hee.... I will never kiss and tell. But did have a fabulous bubble bath!! :eyebrows:

Chris - Try not to stress to much over your christmas gift, how nice that you do that for your neigbours but how sad for the wife, I hope that she is not in any pain and does not suffer too much. You are a good neighbour to her!! Do you have a local copy place that does 12x12 pages, you could have them printed out all at once there? Hope the rest of your day goes well and try to be calm and do one thing at a time... it will get done!

Shellie - I did see inception, I loved it, but my hubby fell asleep during it. It gets a little deep, but the special affects are awesome!!

LindaS - glad your little one is better and back at school! Christmas always sneeks up on me too, but you are right, it will get done.

Me - Ice cream....really??? Your tea sounds much better to me, too funny! Have a great work day!!

Clara - Hope your butt feels better today LOL take it easy on the stairs will ya!

Well gotta run to work, to all those I missed...enjoy your day!:high5:
 
Good morning. Had to drive ds to school today. The other 2 got out the door, but he was still putting his shoes on. I am going to invest in velcro shoes from now on. That or boots!!! 25 degrees here this morning. Whew, I do NOT like the cold! And I want to move to Wisconsin to be by my family. I'm now reconsidering NC to live by DH's family again. Of course this won't happen until I have finished school. No real decisions until then. I like MD but no family here. We are making friends though and we have a fabulous church which makes all the difference!


Me:hahahahahaha ice cream at 7am? wow that's great! crazy man

Laurie: where are these photos of you dancing? I wanna see. dh and I used to go swing dancing in San Antonio. I LOVED it. We could start up lessons here, but dh is on call too much so we would lose out on a good bit of money. Plus that would mean a sitter once a week. Maybe once I get a full time job he can find a job at a clinic and not have call anymore! Then we can go dancing whenever we want! PLus by then we won't need sitters cause the kids'll be grown up!

Linda: Oh I hope you feel better. Get lots of rest and yummy warm soup!

Kristy: Beautiful LO! Aw 10 years old is a fun age

Shellie: Inception was really good. IMO

Aw Chris: You are such a wonderful neighbor! That is a great idea!

Perta: wosh I was you right now. Warm sunny California sounds so inviting!

Off to go scrap some more. Just when you think you're done with the year, you take more pictures that you have to add in! Thinking about doing a calendar instead that they can turn into a scrap album at the end of the year. That means I only need 12 pages. But I have so many pages that I wouldn't know which to choose. Can't do both cause that's more money. Maybe I'll print the calendar here and then send an additional book from a printing service. Hmmmm

I didn't realize you were in Maryland too ... whereabouts do you live, Katrina? I am in Montgomery County, right outside of DC.
 
Morning, girlies! Sending cheer all around!

I'm not gonna tell you guys what I'm doing...okay, I'll tell...still in bed checking the world on the ipad! Yup I'm the most spoiledest girl! It's to make up for the fact that mr gorgeous is in Europe!

I've bought a couple of gifts for Christmas but that's about it! I'm still working on one more custom order for the shop, and then I'm free to create for Christmas !

Nana! Garlic, sweetie! Hugs to you and chicken soup too!

Chris, write everything down so you can let it go at night! I do that and take Tylenol pm...usually works for me!

Mary Ellen! Ice cream? Seriously? I don't know how you guys live in that cold! It's cold here...and not even that cold! Warm hugs to you guys!

Kristy, happy bday to both your girlies! They grow up so fast!

Laurie, enjoy your work today...I need to find your pics too! Point me in the right direction! Hugs!

LindaS, so glad Syd is doin better. It's no fun when the kiddos are sick!

Shellie, I haven't seen it yet either, but it's on my list!

Katrina, the whole bus thing? Yeah...another reason I homeschool! That and staying in bed playing on the iPad! Heehee...I'll get you hooked somehow!

Trudy! Keep us posted about your jaw! Glad you don't have to shovel any rain! Teehee!

Wow! Lots of girlies here! Love the daily o's!

Meg and Clara and krista! Shout out to y'all! And Clara, loved the pics of the calendars! Sorry about your butt!

Hugs to all!!! Love you all dearly...probably ought to get up and do something now...teehee!
 
Thanks to Clara, I think last night I figured out the rest of our Christmas gifts. I'm getting my bro and sis klutz books... Which were always my fave growing up! My sis will be getting the friendship bracelet one & my bro the trick video one. Just waiting to hear back from my dad to see if the video one is ok for my bro.
& for my dad, we'll be getting him a book on how to do ammo reloading... Which is basically refilling your ammo instead of purchasing more. Right now there's shortages and you either have to stake out the stores on delivery day or pay a super high catalog price. So, people are turning to reloading. When we were visiting last, my dad was asking for advice from Jeff on how to get started. Jeff researches everything so he's an encyclopedia.
As for my step mom, haven't figured it out yet. Maybe a bath and body works set? She's a massage therapist... I have no idea. For my grandparents I think I'm going to get them a travel journal and a "coupon" for scrapbooking their rotary int'l trips.

Today is our Saturday, lots to do! I'm feeling like my cold is floating away, but I still feel lousy. I took cold medicine last night and told jeff to check my pulse when he went to bed at 3am, and wake me up if its irregular. He still hasn't learned the techniques to bring my heart back to normal!!

Sorry for the novel. On my phone waiting for the alarm to go off so sleeping beauty will wake up! Personals this afternoon!
 
Hey guys!!

I know I said I would be here at 10 but better late than never. I set my alarm and even got up when I was supposed to, then snuggled with my kids and then my sister called and we got into a huge fight over the stupidest thing. She has one of those things that clip on her visor that is like a ear piece for when she is in the car. the only problem is when you are talking to her she sounds like she is in a tunnel and I can't understand half of what she says. Well, I have been really frustrated with my sister lately anyway, especially after her visit. She has become the most bossy person I have every met and has gotten worse about talking down to people and is very hurtful in the way she talks to people. Now maybe I am extra sensitive...okay not maybe I know that I am but I have been dealing with this for several years now. She hasn't always been like this, mostly since she actually became a social worker and even more so since she became a supervisor. We are very different. She is very clean and organized and orderly and I am less organized and messy and late a lot of the time. We are just different. But she often talks like I am less of a person because of it and makes comments like "we know Clara's around because..." or if she does something to work around my way of doing things she makes sure to let it be known that she did that. I know I am the way that I am but I am not a lesser person, I'm just me. Anyway, after her being here this past weekend and her telling when to do my dishes all weekend and then a few other things over the past few days she called me this morning and was trying to tell me about a movie she watched. I could not understand her for the life of me. I was trying. So then she was trying to explain it to me another way but I didn't understand the word she said and was trying to tell her that and she just kept saying over and over that she was trying to explain it another way, which I got, I just couldn't understand what she was saying the other way. So then she started saying that I was the only one that couldn't understand her and freaking out so I hung up. Then it became a text battle that did not end well. So, I'm sad about that.

I have also recently found out that my SIL's cervical cancer is back. She is in such good spirits about it. She is amazing. I just love her. I hope and pray it will be okay but it is hard to have the same spirit as her when her medical care sucks and she has no health insurance because she has taken her hippie life to such extremes that she has no health insurance because of her life choices. I adore her but she is not the most responsible person in the world but things seem to work themselves out. I will just pray that they continue to do so. Please join me in doing so.

Oh, for those of you that know Andrea...she's having her baby super soon...in like a week. Provided she doesn't go into labor I'll be taking her to lunch on Saturday. When she has that baby I'll get some pics and post them for you guys. I am so excited for her and her family and their new little bundle of boy they are expecting. Pray for her not to go into labor between now and Saturday.

Well, I know I have more to chat about and I want to do personals but I have to teach Ethan multiplication. So, I'll be back later, I hope. HUgs to everyone!!
 
Elizabeth Edwards died today. On July 12, 2004, I read an article about her in USA Today while sitting at a food court waiting for my Chinese food in Rochester, MN. I was attending an AAU basketball game. As I read of her becoming a mother again at age 50, I said to Brian, "See I'm not that old. We could still have kids." Today we are parents! She was an inspiration to many...and she changed my life!
 
Linda - I am saddened for you and so many people who were inspired by her. I am so thankful that she inspired you to become a mother to those two gorgeous children of yours. It is amazing where we draw strength and inspiration from in our lives, isn't it?

I wanted to come back and do personals today but I've been having emotional meltdowns all day today for no real good reason. Hopefully good sleep and a fun day tomorrow iwth the kids making Christmas presents will be good for me.

Although I do want to say to my soul sister Chris - I am feeling you these days and I think we need to agree to get into the Christmas spirit. I know we celebrate Christmas for different reasons but the heart of it is the same. Christmas is about something bigger than ourselves and if we let it stress us out and rip us apart it totally destroys what Christmas is about. So...here is what I propose, whenever we get to stressed out just stop and think about something that really reminds us why we celebrate Christmas and don't go back to what we are doing until we can smile about what we are doing. I'll put on my Christmas carols and you put on your RENT soundtrack and we'll get through the holiday-stress blues together. No more scrooging. Otherwise we'll have to wear Santa hats for the rest of the season and red is sooooooo not my color. Love ya girl.
