Good afternoon everyone! I made it to Boston and am tired as heck! I forgot how driving 12 hours a day can wear you out. I just want 5 pm to get here so I can go back to my hotel and sleep! Hope everyone is having a good monday..we can get through it!!

Here is something funny about Christmas lights.

Last night Wayne and I were watching the movie Moonshot, true story about Apollo 11 moon landing. At one scene Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong were attending a Christmas party in 1968 and Buzz stepped out on the porch. There was several strands of miniature LED lights decorating it!!! Ha ha, they had LED Christmas lights in 1968? I started laughing. I guess they didn't think anyone would notice the difference. Us Christmas fanatics can spot them miles away! cheesy

Good morning,


Today has not started to well, I went down to the basement before work and we had quite the flood, the snow melting and it poured all night long, we have 1.5-2 inches of water through most of it. I called out from work to take care of it, I have been able to get rid of some so far, but I got a phone call from LC's daycare he has a fever and I went and picked him up, so now my work on the basement has taken a backseat. He is all sniffly and tired so if I can get him to take a nap it will probably be best. I guess this is when a day off is not a day off.

Have the best Monday you can.

Oh well. This commercial Dog is not going to ruin....wait. hahah. I have been watching A Charlie Brown Christmas too much on the weekend. William loves it. He repeats when Lucy says "NO NO NO. Listen all of you!" and he says no no no and wags his finger at the tv. I love it that he loves all the Charlie Brown specials. Something nice to share with him. Well back to work I go! Have a fantastic Monday and remember....It will be friday soon!

No such thing as watching that too much! cheesy I am the worse at reciting every single line from that show when it's on. Here I am reading "NO NO NO, Listen all of you! You've got to take direction, you've got to have discipline! and finishing the rest of the line that she says along with it out loud. ha ha!

Glad to hear you made it safely, rest up.
 
Good afternoon,

LC is sitting watching Thomas & Friends, not eating too much. I've been able to go downstairs and work on the flooding every so often. I have actually been able to get rid of about 80% of the water out, I am exhausted between taking care of LC and playing in the water. The good thing is none of my Christmas stuff has been harmed, thank goodness for waterproof totes. The other thing I have learned is that our kittens are not afraid of the water, they were running through it and playing in it, they are the craziest bunch of felines I have ever seen.

Well, Said Xmas !!
 
Good afternoon, Christmas family.

Very frustrated today. I know it takes time to get comfortable with a new job but I am getting quite restless. The grass is never greener and I should have know that. I am now regretting leaving my old company. Still, if I went back and presuming they would rehire me, do I really want to be without work all the time ?? That is what prompted me to leave in the first place. At this point I just feel like throwing my hands in the air. I will persevere though.

Xmas, I am so sorry about your little guy being sick AND your basement flooding. It would be nice if life would not have so many unpleasant surprises, wouldn't it ?

Have a wonderful day, Christmas family.


Oh and Bing-ER, Bing-ER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
