Christmas Countdown - 2013

[made582]

Made, the trick is to bring Valerie back when the Christmas party is going on at the Pines, and Carl has the mistletoe up.

LOL!!!!! Everytime I mention christmas, she says she will be on a beach some where far away from any kind of celebration.

Beach on Christmas? I'm not sure that relationship will work!

Are you sure he didn't have it commissioned?

Are you sure he didn't have it commissioned?

He said it was a gift when I asked him but I wouldn't put it pass him. If no other reason, than to do what I did earlier. Make people wonder who gave it to him!!

This is just my opinion. If your family can survive financially with just your husband's income then I would not take the job. People seem to underestimate what a stay-at-home mom actually does. I know this because my mom was one. Some people believe that stay-at-home moms sit around on the couch all day long eating chips and watching soap operas. I know first-hand that this is not true and that there is always an endless amount of things to get done at home. Cleaning, laundry, taking care of things for other family members, cooking, running errands, making sure the house always had groceries, scheduling appointments, etc. The list could go on forever. Taking the job is only going to put you behind on things at home since you already mentioned that you get frazzled. If you really need the money or if you are very passionate about the job that you were offered, take it! It could be a great experience for you. Even if you are worried now and frazzled, you will adjust. You just need to get in a new routine. But if you feel like you have to take it because you feel guilty and that is the only reason, I wouldn't. There is nothing wrong with being a stay-at-home mom! I know I am young and my opinion probably doesn't hold much merit but I hope that you are happy with whatever you decide, HMG! I can't wait to be a stay-at-home mom one day!

Praying that the choice you make will make you the happiest! Beautiful place you live, btw!

enough said!

I agree with Jennifer. I think she said it perfectly.


Praying for guidance for you.

I think that if any job would make you happy, it would be Hallmark. However, I also think you know yourself best, and if taking on another job, besides being a stay at home Mom (big, honorable job in itself!) is too overwhelming then I would just do what's best for YOU =) You are such an awesome Mom, to 5 girls! And an amazing wife to your hubby. You run your household like nobody's business!

Good luck in making your choice.

((Hugs))

Thank you all so much!!!
I have given this a lot of thought and I'm going to pass on the job. I also had a heart to heart with my hubby who told me to never underestimate myself or what I do. I feel so blessed.

Hi All- Hope everyone is having a great hump day.

We had a very sad day yesterday and we had it put down on 12 y/o boxer, Max. He woke up yesterday and could not even stand so we took him to the vets' office first thing and they did some bloodwork and he had cancer. I think one of the hardest parts was how sad my kids were...that truly breaks my heart

I work from home so it is very strange not having him here with me today. We also have a Boston Terrier, Leo who is also missing his sidekick.

I know we will get through this...just takes some time. We just have to remember all the great memories we had with him!

I am listening to some Christmas music to brighten my day..

Hope you all have a great afternoon!

I am so sorry for your loss, you are in my thoughts.

Hey everyone. Just a quick hello, Im trying to make more of an effort to get back on here. I sure do miss all of my Christmas friends. Still have a lot going on in my life.. should be calming down soon though. Happy Halloween and I cant believe we are almost into November. Favorite time of the year

Nice to see you.

I just got home from my appointment with the cardiologist. It didn't exactly turn out like I had hoped. I have to have an echocardiogram, a stress test on a treadmill, wear a heart monitor for 24 hours, and then blood work. I already went after my appointment to get the blood work, so I'm glad that's over. He said that he wanted to check my thyroid with that. I am waiting for my insurance to approve the rest of the tests and then I will schedule them. I want to get them all done with before Thanksgiving if possible. He said from what he can tell that he does not think it is anything serious. He also said that if they put me on a beta blocker that I will be extremely lethargic and tired all of the time. I hope I don't have to take those if that is how I am going to feel!

I thought I was all in the clear in terms of appointments after this one....not so much anymore, lol!

You continue to be in my thoughts.

Good afternoon, friends~

It's rainy & cold here. So, a beautiful Fall day!!

About a week ago, on a day off, my managers asked me to come in. They complimented me on my work ethic, enthusiasm, and said a few customers had told them how I had gone out of my way to help them out. That was really nice to hear. Then they went on & said a supervisor/management position was opening up, and recommended me for it. I found out today that I got it!

I am happy, excited, a little nervous, but all in all it's a great opportunity. I am honored that they saw that in me in the month I've been there.

I started training already today, but will be getting more of the management side of things next week. I have to learn the other associates jobs first!

Please say a prayer for me. It's going to be a great, yet challenging couple of months!

Thanks, friends.

Hope you all are having a blessed day!

Goodnight, HMG!!!!! Hope you can sleep well tonight now that you have made up your mind!!

 

[xmas365]

Okay, I am going to be away from the computer for a little while. I want watch the last few outs of this game. Sox have a 5 run lead, so we may see a celebration at Fenway Park like we've never seen before.

Be back soon!!!!!
