Christmas Countdown - 2013

[xmastidings]

If it gets worse as you get older, then I'm going to be in trouble!!! I hardly sleep now and I'm only 34.

I call it the endless llist - Stress, kids, work, bills, health, (If the designated guy in the office remembers to buy the doughnuts in the morning; we have a doughnut club, lol...) etc... Oh the list can go on for the many reasons why a person would/ could lie awake at night tossing and turning~

my daughter was laughing the other day when I showed her the other day that I had 9 songs on my iphone, all Christmas. She is going to help me to do more later today.

Me, too. All I have is about a dozen Christmas songs and all of the Merry Podcasts. LOL!

I love that "movie in the park", wish we had something like that here!

It was a giant inflatable movie screen. Pretty cool!

I've never tried that, I'll have to get it a shot, Thanks! I've got a presciption for some ambian (and take it only on extreme cases), because I hear about the dangers that exist when taking that med for so long...

Yea, why is it that the number 50 is a reality that we would really like to prolong before hitting it, lol....

I'll never take that stuff again. Doc prescribed it after a surgery. The first night I took it, Nancy was up all night waking me up because I stopped breathing several times. I'm sure it works great for some folks, but not me!

Praying you get a good night's sleep soon, friend!!

Sorry I haven't been around for a few days. Mom had to be taken to Baptist hospital in Wake Forest early Wed morning. She was in ICU until Saturday when they told us there was nothing else they could do. She is now back home and hospice has been called in. My wife is down there now taking care of her until we complete the transition to hospice. I'm trying to work a little today but it is not easy.

We are really taking 1 day at a time and I'm not sure when I will be back on. I want to thank all of you for your prayers and thoughts for our family. You're the greatest.

Praying for strength and comfort for you and your family. Take care of yourself.

Good morning! It sure is Monday! This morning seems to be dragging on forever! I'm sure I won't have time to catch up on everything since Thursday (I was away from this place way too long) - so I'm going to jump in here to wish you all a Merry Day & catch up on what I can!!

We went to Ben Franklin Saturday. My friend bought a dvd with 4 Chrismtas movies & I bought a cd - Christmas Harp Music. We listenend to it on the way home! :grin: And now I have TSO in my car's cd player. LOVE IT!

Last night was the Holiday open house/Ladies night at the hardware store. We had a blast again. Such cool stuff!! Snowmen everywhere!!!
:
My hubby even went along this year. Another couple came with us too & we met my sister there. Fun time!!

Hope you all had a great weekend!!!

Glad to hear that you had a good time!!!!!

It would be!!!! In fact, I may not know where that water fall is but i do know where a couple of them are. So come on down!!!

 

[made582]

I am just sitting here, having coffee and looking at my Through The Country Door catalog...such beautiful & festive things!! Dangerous, too Especially when they give you a line of credit. But I must be good.

Hope you're all having a lovely morning!!

Bring that catalog when you come too!!!!

Sounds like a perfect way to send the morning!!

How fun!!! I bet everyone really enjoyed that!! We do something similar at the lake for Buckeye games, races & once in a while a movie night (Mama Mia being the latest) except our screen hangs from our trailer...sorry the picture is lopsided...LOL!

 

[made582]

She's hanging in there. Some days are better than others. I spoke with the veterinarian again and now they are diagnosing her with COPD. I didn't even realize dogs get that. I just hope she doesn't get worse!
Thank you so much for asking!

Keeping her in my prayers

Good morning, Made! How is your foot? That does sound like a beautiful day with nice temperatures! Have a wonderful day!

It's still there!!! LOL!!!!! It's getting better. It doesn't hurt as bad or as long after I walk on it.

Good morning, everyone! Glad to see that not everyone is dragging on this Monday!

I don't have much of anything planned for the day. I completed my assignment this morning and turned everything in. We ordered hoagies for dinner and they should be showing up later on in the day. That means that my mom and I have some time to go to the mall and do some shopping! I should be saving for Christmas but I always find something that I like and end up buying it.....such as a pair of boots. /horribleshopper

I am looking forward to relaxing this evening! If anyone needs a good show to watch, you have to try the Blacklist. It's awesome!

Well...I'm off to straighten my hair. My hair is so thick so that'll take a good hour lol. See ya soon!

Enjoy your shopping trip with your mom!!!

I just looked at the forecast and they are calling for non-stop rain from Wednesday night until Thursday night. That means it'll be a monsoon for Trick or Treat and we'll probably have no kids.

Boo

We made up goodie bags and everything!

I'll see if I can keep it here longer so it doesn't ruin your halloween too!!!

I'm a natural worrier. So I know all about it and feel for you. Hope you can sleep a lot better tonight.

Good morning, HMG! Today sounds like a nice day there! You're getting so much done so far! Minestrone sounds delicious. I love Target but for some reason I can never find anything at Michaels. I hear that it is a hit or miss and I feel like it's always a miss when I come through LOL! I hope you have a wonderful day!!

Michaels was a miss for me today too. I wanted a new scarecrow for my front lawn but they were all sold out. My old one is falling apart. I took out my glue gun and fixed him up! On the bright side, the store was filled with lots and lots of Christmas merchandise!

Thinking of you and your family, MGRamsey. It is so hard to deal with this. I can only imagine how your mom feels, not even counting the pain. Emotionally, it must be unbearable for her. I pray for strength for all of you, and that you each get the rest you need and the solace that can ease the emotional pain.

I hope today is a good day for the little sweetie, bless her heart.
I will keep her in my prayers!

Now that they have a diagnosis, will they adjust her medication?

((Hugs)) to you both!!

Thank you, sending hugs back!!!
She is taking an antibiotic and another medication to help open up her airways. I need to call the doctor when she finishes both medications and we'll see how she is doing at that point. I'm hoping for the best!

 

[Seawaters]

Wow, what a great event!!!

It doesn't look so good here either, lets hope it changes!
As of right now Wednesday and Friday look like the worst days for us.
