Monday morning...

Good morning everyone!

I'm up early..nothing new about that (been up since 4). Bill is still asleep though. I'm going to have to wake him up pretty soon. We told the kids we'd be over there at 7 to bring a load of gifts. We're to meet Bill's sister & bil at the funeral home at 10 so we wanted to get a few things done before then. We'll be doing a few things afterward too.

Tiffany, Rod, Shellie, and I managed to get ALL the gifts wrapped that they had bought AND the ones I had bought yesterday! Whew! That's such a good feeling to be all caught up on that! They brought their van loaded up last night and my Durango is all loaded up. We're putting everything in their garage so the little guys don't see any of it until Christmas morning...after Santa has 'delivered' them. I will probably have 2 more loads to take over to them. Present-wise, I have one stop at Lane Bryant's for the girls and then everything else I am waiting for them to be delivered. So..i'm pretty close to being done with my shopping.  I will probably end up doing my little bit of cooking (sf rice crispy treats, etc) on Wednesday. We have our 'home interview' for Lotus (the sheperd mix) tomorrow at 4...so I don't want to be in the middle of anything messy when they come.

Well..I better go get Bill up. Busy day ahead...

huggs..

Good morning all!

It's such a Monday.  I am so glad I don't have to go out in this stuff too early.  It's icky cold.  But on a brighter side, I am going to go by and see If I can check on a couple jobs that I am trying to get.  I hope to be able to find one that I can truly enjoy.

I am going to get some things done around the house and then get to work as Santa's elf and finish making some things for the kids.  I have the sewing machine ready to go and got the rest of the yarn I needed to make the scarves and hats.  So, I will have a busy day today.

Oh, I also need to make ME some new jammy pants.  Mine are all getting wayyyy to big. 

I hope everyone has a great day!  All of you out there new to the loser's bench- sip sip walk walk... I'm thinking of you and you are in my prayers.

Huge Hugs,
Tracy

Good Morning Sherri, Tracy & All,

Healing Prayers & Healthy Wishes to Those in Need.
Love to all, Hugs & Blessings, Gail

Wishing all a AWESOME day ,

I am up & ready to go for my yearly Mammo. Yuk! Then make a stop at Trader Joe's. My daughter is going with me so I am sure we will do lunch. I was up half of the night with a million thoughts running through my mind. Some good. some bad. I sure am glad that I have my little grandaughters to enjoy Christmas with or I know that I would be depressed. Maybe I really am but they sure help me get through it! I hope everyone has a wonderful day. Sherri, you will be on my mind. Going to the funeral home to make arrangements is definately one of the toughest things that I have ever had to do.

My sisters radiation treatment today then wor****il 11, then I have the day off tomorrow to finish shopping and clean the house.

So sorry Bill and Sherry.. it is not a good time to loose a family memeber..(if there ever IS one) I hate associating sad things to happy events...

I am going to dip some pretzels in Choc...just didnt do all the christmas baking this year with the new job and my sisters Chemo and radiation

HEY... MommyLissa had a trip to the hospital with one of the triplets the other day... the teacher put a peanut butter cup in her Christmas bag and she took a nibble...just the smallest nibble threw her into a BAD reaction and benadryl, and 2 eppi pens didn't help... she went to the hospital via ambulance.. She is home and safe now and now grandma is going to ck things just incase they havent been checked already... I think this scared the STUFFINGS out of all of us... the teacher KNOWS about the peanut allergy..
