Apparently I am grumpy tonight. My sister and nieces have been here all afternoon and they have made a mess. I tried to walk across my living room and stepped on jacks. When I backed away from the jacks I tripped on my nieces shoes and fell on the couch. I told my nieces they needed to clean up some and got yelled at by my mom. Then I was given money by my mom to go get dinner for everyone since she was the only one with enough cash. When I got home I gave her the money for mine. My sister tried to give her money for hers and my nieces but my mom said no. I told her she should take the money and got yelled at again.(she had already taken my sister and nieces out for lunch and paid) Then I was yelled at a third time for telling my sister that she should go tell my great aunt and uncle goodbye because they are moving back to Pennsylvania tomorrow. I think it would be rude to not go tell them goodbye when you don't know if you will ever see them again but apparently my mom doesn't care. So I guess I am just being a grump tonight.
 
Good evening,

Getting ready to watch the Bruins right now, so have a good night!

Good morning, Christmas friends. It was hot last night and we had to run the air conditioner. It will get hot today, too. I could not believe the behavior of my kiddos yesterday, even knowing they were going to have a pizza party. You would have thought they had never been in school before: whining, tattling, picking on each other, etc. I almost called it off. They wouldn't do their work without a fight. Today is the last day, thank goodness. Yesterday, and already today, the pain in my ribs is unbearable. So it's back to the doctor right after school. Now that I have whined just like the kids, I wish you all a great day!

heat and cranky kids usually go together, at least they did when mine where smaller. Wait, they still goes together!
Praying those ribs of yours heal soon, I know I hate being in pain, it takes a lot out of you.

I didn't realize that was a Rudolph costume---I thought it was a regular reindeer costume plus the results of Carl's high-octane treats!! cheesy
 
Good evening, everyone. My husband had to pick me up at school and take me to the emergency room. The principal came in to take over for me. I was in tears and the kids were the worst they have been all year. I cannot believe how they acted, even knowing I was in so much pain. It was a total zoo. The doctor gave me a shot and another, stronger medication. The ribs still hurt, but not like they did earlier in the day. The doctor told me that the pain would not go away with the meds, but it would get somewhat better so I can breathe without crying. While I was in the ER, a 6 ft. 10 in. policeman brought in a man in handcuffs and put him in the cubicle next to me. Wasn't that a treat?! Anyway, I am home now but will be limited for a while. I was going to join my husband when he judges a rib cook-off this weekend, but I know I can't make it. So I will stay home and read and rest. I am sure my attitude will get better as I heal! Please bear with me!
 
Hey all,

Just checking in to say g'nite and hope you all had a nice day! I've had a long day at work and then came home and ate cookies for dinner! Sometimes, it is just nice to indulge!

Tomorrow it is supposed to cool off a bit and we only have a high temp of 80! The Race For The Cure is in St. Louis tomorrow and I know a bunch of people running and they are SO happy that we've cooled down a bit - this last week it was 95+ everyday, so they are quite lucky! Wish all of those running/walking luck and that the funds raised will help lead to a cure!

But for now it is storming and I'm going to go TRY to go to sleep. I used to find storms so relaxing, but after all of these destructive storms over the last 2 months, not so much. Sweet dreams!

It makes me sad that you are suffering so. If I could take your pain for a few hours and let you rest, I would do it. Big (((((HUGS)))) To you also Seawaters but your hugs will be really light so as not to hurt your ribs.....xo
 
Good Saturday morning, my Christmas friends!

I'm working at the store today, cooking sausage and bacon right now. The coffee is going too, so I expect Binger anytime. I have some tea, too, Crown!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy
 
Good morning, Christmas family.


It seems Made and Seawaters had really bad days yesterday. I am so upset about this. I hope today brings better days for both !

Yesterday turned out to be a very bad day for me as well.

First off, Yesterday would have been my 39th wedding anniversary if David had not died. I talked to him yesterday (I know weird right ?) and told him happy anniversary.

Then out of nowhere with no warning, I got a very ominous e-mail from my employer telling me that I needed to improve the quality of my work and there was in inference that I am not meeting the production I need to.

I just spoke with my supervisor last week and she assured me I was doing very good work. Aparently not.

If you could read the e-mail I am sure you would get the same thing I got from it. The writing is on the wall. So, I am taking a huge step backward. I contacted my old employer and asked about starting to work for them again. Actually, they had called me a couple of weeks ago and I tried to be nice, told thank you but graciously bowed out.

You just never know when the tables will turn. I am grateful that hopefully I have somewhere else to apply. But with no previous warnings and with this one being particularly nasty, I am feeling very down.

I guess I just stink at my job. It has been a struggle ever since I strated with this new company BUT the money has been so good. Midnights are not for me but I was trying to do something to help our financial situation.

As one of my favorite characters is Harry Potter there is a power the wizards have in the series where they apparate. They just disappear and reappear someplace else.

Believe me, if I could apparate and just not reappear at this point that is what I would do. Been crying all night until I fell asleep now sadness is back. At this point I just want to give up..........

So sorry to be so negative. Guess that's why I LOVE Eeyore.

Thanks for listening, Christmas family. I hope I didn't ruin your day..........Love you all xo
