Good morning, I have not had time to catch up on the posts I have missed since yesterday, hope everyone is ok.

I just heard from DH, even though everything was confirmed ( on two occassions) the position has fallen through. It's a shame as he turned down an interview for something else last week. Ahhh well these things happen.

Anyway , I've got to dash, a 101 things to do and all I really want to do is hide away today....

Oh I forgot to say I just bought a halloween decoration

Lovely misty day here today, have a wonderful day friends.

I will be thinking about you guys. Hoping something comes a long soon!

Good Thursday morning everyone! it's a cloudy rainy windy 47F so it's more like a late Fall early winter day feeling to me. We woke up at 3am to Jordan crying every time he swallows something he makes a bad face and then starts crying so he has a sore throat and he keeps holding his ear so the wife is going to take him to urgent care right now and her friend is coming over to stay with James. I have to get ready for work I just hope that Jordan is going to feel better soon. It breaks my heart when he looks at me when he holds his throat like I can take away the pain...I wish I could!! Welll I have to get ready for work. Have a great early Autumn day everyone!

Jordan is in my thoughts and prayers too!
Hope he will feel better soon!!!♥

Another lovely morning here.
Thanks for your prayers everyone, mom's eye pressure is almost bakc to normal so surgery is not needed! We are all so happy about this.
Now I have to do some laundry and packing before leaving for Peterborough in the morning with my friend and her daughter.
I should say the will come after being a taxi first

Great news Star! ♥
Have a safe trip to Peterborough =)

My gosh yall are some postin people. I see the baby has arrived but I could not quite catch up on the rest 100 pages...My eyes hurt too bad...so congrats to coach and wife and of course the baby girl! I know they are over the moon!
The movie we saw last night was actually pretty creepy. cliché yes but that's what you sadly have to expect from current horror,BUT it was one of the better ones I have seen lately! There is another one coming out in October called something like "all the boys love Mandy Lane" contrary to the weird title it's not one of "those kinds" its a horror and the previews from it look very good. I want to see it before Halloween,I might have to go with a buddy or by myself because it was a first for brandi to want to see that one last night.okay have to get ready for supper!

Glad you enjoyed the movie!!!!

Ugh ... a bad experience this evening updating my iPad to iOS 7. I think it's sorted out now. It failed a few times before it finally worked---I still don't know what kicked it into finally accepting the update. Thank heaven I backed it up to iCloud just before I attempted the update, 'cause I had to restore from the backup. After my apps reload, I'll have to check and see if I lost anything. I think my photos and contacts came back, but I may have to reload all my music. Bleh! I hate to waste an evening fighting with technology.

Hope it all turned out good!! So far I haven't seen any issues w/ my iPhone! YAY!

Wow.....

Overwhelmed with emotions. That's how I feel....words can't explain it, but I want to try.

Birth.....was unlike anything I could have expected. Seeing the love of my life in labor for 15 hours (5 of those without any painkiller), vomiting the last 10, seeing the baby being born....it was all.....well....almost horrific.

The love of my life was hurting. She was in so much pain because of an accident with her epidural. I kinda felt robbed....all I ever heard was how great the birth process was....and it didn't feel like that to me....

Until I saw my daughter.

When she came out....and they placed her on my wife...when they handed her to me....never has something so light (7.5 pds) felt so heavy....and yet so pure....

I was so humbled to be in her presence....that I literally wanted to crawl under a chair because I didn't feel worthy...it was so emotional....

and all I remember telling myself...with tears coming down my face....is that no one....no one.....deserves all the blessings.....no one deserves to be this lucky....

for I am blessed...

I wanted so long to be a father....I've dreamed of it for nine months....and now I just want to spend the rest of my life being her Dad.....it seems as if nothing else even matters anymore...

My promise to my daughter is this....I will be the man she needs me to be. I will show her what a man is supposed to be....so that she knows what to look for one day....I will teach her to pray...how to win and how to lose...but mostly...through my example I set by how I treat her....I will show her how to love unconditionally....

She was born at 9:46 pm....she was 19 inches and 7.5 pounds...

and it was love at first sight....

Awe! That was so sweet! She is one lucky girl!! Best wishes!!!

Thanks. I ended up getting put on call. At least if I get called in, it will be time and half!

I hope you got the night off!! My neighbor loves it when she gets put on call! She smiles so big when she comes out of the house & says "I just got the call - I'm on call!"

I'm feeling much better today. Guess the stomach flu figured out that I'm boring company and decided to go and bother someone else.

Yesterday I got great news from my best friend. She's having her second baby sometime around late February or early March. I'm soo excited and hope for a girl. Her baby boy is going to be one year old on December 1th.

Congratulations to your friend! So happy to hear you are feeling better Cetacea!

Sending get well wishes to Jordan!

I haven't posted a Blossom yet because I didn't have a camera in my cellphone. Now I do, but I'd be too shy to take it out and take pictures in stores.
:roll:

I am always shy about taking pictures in the stores when there are a lot of people around.

Another lovely morning here.

Good morning!
We are going to have sun and clouds today with a high of 70 degrees.
I will be heading out soon to run a few errands today. Then back home for chores and to make make meatballs and get a pot of sauce going, we are having baked ziti for dinner tonight. I also have some fried chicken cutlets left over from last night so I will make some chicken parmigiana too.
I'm hoping to squeeze in a nap later. My mind was racing last night and I just didn't sleep well. My daughter decided she doesn't want to keep the stick shift car she absolutely had to have because thats what all of her friends are driving. She realized she is way too busy with school and work to try and learn how to drive it. So the car is going back and we are getting her the automatic. We are lucky the dealer is letting us return it. But its going to cost us. A lot. I have no idea why my husband let her talk him in to ordering it to begin with. I wish I went to the dealer with them because I would have never allowed her to get it in the first place. Grrrrr.
Anyway, I hope you are all well and have a wonderful day!!!

I love this. I'm still working on it after all these years, but the effort is worth it.

Congratulations, fellow dad.

I have heard this from a few people that they have had issues...one of my friends said it completely wiped out all her contacts on her phone! I feel your frustration....I hate dealing with all the techy problems that can happen!

Coach- What a beautiful post...it brought me to tears! Your little girl is blessed to have parents like you and your wife! Blessings to you all!

So far my Thursday is ok...although I woke up thinking it was Friday...such a dreadful feeling when you realize you are wrong..lol

I am just working and treated myself this morning to a pumpkin spice latte and I am listening to the Holly Jolly Music station on Pandora!

Hope everyone has a great day!

 

[made582]

Our Cinnamon rolls are done!
My boy wanted some frosting on....

I got one for you too:

Yum!!!!!

 

[sugar142286]

Buster is having a good week so far! (again, knocking on wood) - no more throwing up & the cooler temps seem to have helped his allergies. Hopefully since we are warming up a little for a few days, they don't flare up again!! Thanks! I hope Har is still good too?

Glad to hear that Buster has been feeling well!

Thinking of you
Hope you get a nap in later!!

Dinner sounds amazing!! What time should we be there?! I'll bring the wine

Sorry it didn't work out with your daughter's new car, hope she finds something she likes in an automatic.

I can't believe it's already almost 9am here! I love when I get busy at work and lose track of time. So far it's been a great day at work, but I just received word from Brandi that Jordan does have an inner ear infection so the Dr. gave her some medication and drops for his ear. I hope it goes away soon.

I also just discovered it's almost exactly 3 years I have been a member here. I remember in 2010 I was settling In south Georgia after being in England for 10 years so that first year back in the states took some getting use to.(especially the weather!!)but I got a Christmas bug in late September and I found this website and lurked here for days before I decided to join up and meet folks like myself who see the magic in Christmas. So on Sept. 29 will be my 3 year anniversary! I was single no kids or anything, now I have wife and 2 young sons! I can't wait to share my love for the holidays with them!!! Well that is enough of a walk down memory lane, I better get back to work. Talk to you all later!!!
