Christmas Countdown - 2010

[TamaraQT]

Good morning everyone here...not having a good day.You know how it is when your kids(in this case my oldest son-16) say things to you that really hurt you?? Well that's what has happened to me this morning. Now, I'm a person that believes in tough love, but sometimes it hurts pretty bad. I don't want to continue to be a downer, so I will just leave it at that.

Awww snowytree, sorry to hear you are having a rough day. It does seem to hurt more when our kids hurt our feelings. I know it hurts me more. It makes me kinda feel unappreciated when it comes from the kids. But the love we have for them as parents makes our heart heal quickly for some reason. Hang in there. As a mother of 2 boys (27 and 18), I have learned that eventually they realize there is no other love in the world as a parents love. Eventually they realize how their words and behavior have hurt us. And the joy comes when they realize and acknowledge it. You are NOT a downer. Just a parent dealing with children in that teenage stage. And believe me, many of us truly understand. ((((HUGS)))). I hope your day gets better.

Good Morning Christmas Friends,

It is a bright beautiful day here in NJ. Nice cool fall weather has finally arrived. I love it!!

Well, I am so excited. I really made some progress on Christmas shopping yesterday. We have a Boscovs department store in my area. They had a HUGE sale yesterday. And to top it off, they had a charity discount special. That is where a local charity comes in and sells coupons for $5. The coupon is worth 25% off of all items you buy that day. Even if its on sale. Well I was able to get some great deals. I am so excited!! Also, Boscovs has FREE GIFT WRAPPING for any item you buy from them. And they usually have very nice wrapping paper for Christmas. Unfortunatlely I didn't have time to get them wrapped last night. But after work today, I am going back to have them wrapped. I am so excited!! Now I really feel like the Christmas season is coming fast!! Oh, and of course I have to mention that Boscovs has their Christmas trees and decorations up on display. Wow...It's begining to look a lot like Christmas!!!

:dance:

Hi everyone! Have to catch up a bit - everyone in our house got a nasty cold (including my poor little newborn, Noel!) so we've been out of commission a bit. Everyone is almost back to normal today but I still think we are going to just stay at home for another day or two to be sure. Having a little tiny baby get a fever is scary!! Hope everyone is doing well. Jude and I (and Noel, but he'll be snoozing, lol!) are going to watch Deck the Halls again - love that movie!!

Good Morning to all my friends,

Well this is my first full day back on in a few days after recovering from a nasty cold. It just hit hard and fast but atlas its done and gone all in a few days. So I am happy to say that not only am i happy to be back with my Christmas family, but also to let you all know that today is me and the wife's 3 year wedding Anniversary. We got married Oct 6th 2007 and it was the hottest day in all of the world. It was so funny how everyone would come to talk to us before the ceremony and kept saying that we have to be the most relaxed people ever getting married. I kept telling people in response whats to really get stressed about, its a wedding its either going to be great or something could happen but at the end of the day were all still alive and together so what else matters.

Okay, I had to get that out of my system.

We had a police officer murdered during a bank robbery in our town years ago. My mother and I were driving somewhere and got caught in the funeral procession and had to pull off the road. We waited over 30 minutes for the line to drive through. It was a sad site but also amazing to see officers from all over the state of Texas in that line up.

It's really sad because it seems like every year a police officer in our town is killed in the line of duty.

The procession was over 10 miles long yesterday. It wrapped around 3/4 of the town. It was a very sad thing to watch. Yesterday would have been his 33rd birthday. Here is a link to a tribute done by one of the local news channels

Don't you all just love having to add extra blankets on the bed?

My chihuahua is feeling it too. He is sleeping under the blankets now. cheesy

I am loving this chilly weather!

I have been loving it to!!!!! The only problem is that the warm weather is returning just in time for our town's big festival this weekend. Last year it was so cold for it that we had to wear heavy jackets and we bought several cups of hot chocolate trying to keep warm. This year we will be in shorts and t shirts. :-?

Happy anniversary, XmasDreams!
Christmas-a-Holic - we had an officer killed every year (or more) the past few years in Philadelphia.. heart-breaking. They used to show the service on TV but it got so frequent that they stopped.

Good Afternoon Everyone!!!!!!!!!! It is a warm day here in central Indy. I have been busy this morning running some errands and I even decided to work for awhile. With the police officers funeral yesterday and the towns festival starting tomorrow most of the roads in town are going to be shut down. So I had to get my running done today. This afternoon I have some laundry to do and I also have some apples that I need to do some thing with. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!
