Hi everyone. Just wanted to stop in real quick and say hi. I wasn't able to get caught up on all of the posts for today, but I will tomorrow, as it is my day off.

DH is working tonight and I have to too, plus the weather is bad here, so I have to leave a little earlier, so I am going to go lay down now. Hope you're all doing well and have had a great day.

Nothing new is here. DS seems to be feeling a little better. He isn't as fussy, so I am hoping maybe he is getting a tooth. Thank you all who gave him well wishes.

Good night all - I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Made how did you do that video, WOW. It was awesome. I meant to post but time got away with me, so maybe next year I have over 300 days to finish my essay, I am sorry I missed the deadline.

I really wanted to redo the narration on it but I just ran out of time.

I think it was great just as it is, you did a wonderful job!!!

I hope everyone is having a great day! its very cold here, so watching football even though my team played last night

It has gotten guite cold over here too, you li,e the Pats right? I really enjoyed the games this weekend, goodness that game between NO and the 49-ers was a nail biter in the end.

hey ya'll! well our surprise birthday party for my daddy was great!! everyone made it, & some i didn't know were coming, which made it even better!! my daddy was speechless & my daddy is never speechless! great time & just getting back in. sis & all her family have left to go back home too.
watching the giants/packers game now out of one eye & posting ya'll w/ the other. i'm super human like that!hahahaha!
tomorrow we're all off & i've let them all know that we are going to clean house. fun, fun, fun!

I am so glad you all had a great time and your dad enjoyed the party.

yeah i haven't said alot about ours (furbabies) but they are so much a part of our lives. Daisy is my toy poodle-she's blonde & all mine! Maggie is our choc.lab she's the sweetest,gentlest, & just adorable one, hubby claims her but she's mine too. Daughter has a rescue ,Mickey, part bassett part daschund (funny looking) but loves her to pieces & is very sad if she's not here, my son (19yr.old) has a rescue, Diva, believed to be part lab part pitt & maybe part dalmation. They all stay inside & we also have a white cat, holly, not a very nice cat but we love her.

MMT thx for telling us about your furrie babies, your Holly sounds like my Callie, but we lover her just the way she is too. We call her out watch kitty.

:wiggy: Speaking of parties, I'll have to think of something special for O'Malley. His birthday is coming up on Friday. Wonder if he's ready for party blowers and a fancy hat?

Oooooo, I think he would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE fancy hats and blowers!!!

It's official! I've hit 15,000 posts!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

All this talk about casts reminds me of two years after I had a cast removed from my arm. I kept it as a reminder to "be careful" likely my mom's idea. Anyway, for an April Fools Joke, I decided to slip the old cast on and head off to school to pretend I had a broken arm and since it was my left, I couldn't do school work. It was a bit out of my reach at the top of the clothes closet, but I thought I had a grib on it when I pulled it down. Ooops! It shattered and the plaster was everywhere.

Oh my AMD, hmmm, that April's fools joke turned!!!!

:razz: Totally ruined my joke.

bummer!!!!

I had a major breakdown with Hubby tonight. I had to call my union rep to request sick bank leave for my cancer treatments. For some reason, everything came flooding in on me. Sorry to vent!!!

SW, it is very natural for this too happen, in fact it is part of the healing processes. Do not let that build up, vent it out. My Nana said holding in a worry or fear was like ignoring weeds, the longer you let it grow the stronger it gets, venting (or weeding you thoughts, fears, and worries) has a way of letting the flowers bloom and your seeds of ideas bloosom. So vent all you need, we are all here for you.

For the record, CAH and Made.....your videos are awesome!

CAH, holy WOW!!! That was awesome what a wonderful family you have. Ii just love your video too.

You are right!!! Anticipation is wonderful!!!

I do so love flying up on the wings of anticipation.

Merry monday morning MMC!:

Just got into work. I'm feeling especially Christmassy this morning. Not sure why and because of this I have a challenge for some of you. If you have the day off today, and the time, I challenge you to watch a Christmas movie for those of us that can't. That way when can live vicariously through you:razz: Well more coffee to me, hope everyones day is fantastic!

I am watching one now, The Santa Incident. From Hallmark, so far it is cute. I was working too earlier today.

I just organized another kitchen cabinet. This one had all the seasonings and baking goods in it. What a mess! All the other cabinets were easy but this one took a little time. I am glad I got that over with. Now onto another project!

Wow, do you organize for hire? I sure should do some around d here.

With what you're going through, you're entitled to some venting! And it will be helpful to get some of it out of your system.

I hope you have a better experience with your workplace than I had with mine when I was dealing with treatment. I was out five days while they did tests to "stage" the cancer (determine how extensive it was so they could decide how to treat it), and my supervisor's supervisor helpfully reminded me that my five unscheduled days out of the office was cause for termination. (They didn't, though.) I was stunned---this was literally a matter of life and death! And they made me use vacation time for treatment days. The second time around I just cut the melarkey and took short-term disability. Bad memories. Now I will apologize for venting!

MC, that is down right abuse, UGH that makes me so mad. I am glad you were able to get around that, sometimes I wonder how some people ever get ahead.

After cleaning out the cabinets in the kitchen I said I was onto another project. Guess what it was????? I laid down for an hour and watched TV. Not very productive but dang, I'm tired! I think the week finally caught up to me! I have been running non-stop all week and had a busy day at work yesterday. I also have a busy week ahead starting tomorrow.

Okay, I am going to attempt another project now that I feel rested.

Sometimes all we need is a little rest - and you had a busy week it sounded from your posts.'

Hey guys! I shared this in the prayer request thread, but thought I would share it here too if that is okay.

My cousin is a teacher and this is an article about one of her former student's siblings who is being denied a kidney transplant by CHOP because she is mentally handicapped http://theloadeddiaper.wordpress.com...to-disability/
This little girl is about 3 years old and from the South Jersey area

Thank you for posting this here sometimes I do not visit thethreads for a few days (besides) this one.

Hubby and I went to Chico today to look at cabinets for our kitchen when it is remodeled. I am so excited. One of the units is a master chef area that is for spices and larger items such as olive oil and larger containers of spices, another one with pull out drawers and pull out shelves for regular spices, a cabinet with a double tiered lazy Susan, and a corner "appliance garage" for my Kitchen Aid mixer and other appliences. We will have several of those long pull-out drawers for pots and pans, a cabinet that will hold several cookie sheets and other baking pans, and a large 10 ft. island that will have our sink and dishwasher and more storage!!! Finally a place for all my kitchen stuff!!!

I am SSSSSOOOO jealous, you lucky dog!"!"

Hope Mr. feels better soon!

the Pats are my favorite team! ever since I was a little girl <3
your welcome! its quite an interesting story, and I hope that CHOP has made the right decision regarding the transplant. I have already told my mother that if I have a special needs child, I will go to the ends of the world to make sure they are treated properly, and if that means steering clear of the local children's hospital that is a conveince to me, I would do that

 

[nmc42088]

goodnight!

Here's a quick story about something that happened this morning. But first let me preface the story with a confession; I don't like cats. I never have. And my neighbors insist on owning cats that are free to roam the neighborhood. The problem is that they perfer to use my yard as their litter box, more recently they area around our pool. It really chaps my behind (pardon me!)

Anyway, as I was walking to my truck this morning on my way to work, I saw one of them on my pool deck, leaning over & drinking water from the pool. He was facing away from me and I snuck up behind him...AND YELLED LOUDLY!

He squalled and jumped straight out into the pool. This tickled me, because the outside temp was 33° this morning, and I got a good laugh about this cat getting dunked in nearly-freezing water. But then I decided I didn't want him to drown in my pool, so I went on the deck planning to pull him out. When he saw me coming, he hooked a paw over the side and pulled himself out...then took off like a bullet for home! Yeehaw!

Hopefully he learned a lesson about living (and pooping) in my yard!!!
:razz:

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Too funny! I wish we had video of that!

Hey! Nothing wrong with a lazy day! Good for you on the projects, I'm trying to do one project a day on the weekends. I got my closet cleaned out today and then i took a nap. Great minds think alike!

 

[ballcoach]

Good night, gang! See everyone tomorrow.

 

[Snow-in-Texas]

OMG!!! Did you try the Seasonal one!!! Yeah, addicted!!!



Tee hee, I am so hooked on that game too funny, I down loaded a Seasonal version which is cool it has Halloween, Easter, and Christmas!!!

I am not even on Facebook, tee hee!!!

I have the original and the seasonal, they are fun. Funny thing is not too long ago, I didn't even know what Angry Birds was. My wife and I saw some of the stuffed angry birds, and I said, what the heck is an angry bird, LOL.

Good evening, Christmas family


I just finished working about an hour ago....the last 24 hours has been moocho-crazy. I went into a tail spin of depression about something and sort of had a meltdown. Thank you to all who are on Facebook who offered their words of support and help and ((Hugs))....Because of you, I am better now !!!

Work today was the usual goober-laden Sunday. Tomorrow starts a sort of new schedule - I work 8.5 hours every night, off on Friday and then 6 hours Saturday, off on Sunday. I think it is going to be tough to get 8.5 hours in during the week but I will give it a shot.
