We are so busy with the house! We aren't putting up a tree or decorations, so I just cannot get into the Christmas Spirit. Hubby already has his Christmas gift from me--an automatic screw putter-inner! Can't think of the technical name right now. That was what he wanted so he can use it before Christmas. I still have to get him something so he will have at least one surprise! Made, I would like some of your fudge. We aren't even making cookies, since we have no oven or stove! If the architect had not taken so long, we would probably have a LOT of the work done by now. But, NOOOO!

We went out for Chinese last night to celebrate Hubby's birthday. That food was so delicious that we will definitely go back, even with the 25-plus miles roundtrip.

Xmas, I am thinking of you and pray a calming spirit for your family. Grandparents are so special, and it is hard to see them having to go through illness, especially as they get into their 90s! You are so lucky to have had her for this long. I envy you that.

For some reason, my computer is running slowly. I sure hope nothing is wrong. I am keeping the site open and will try to check in later.

we had a year when we had no tree either, so I know how you feel.
I have one of those auto screw putter inners too, you got the name just right! I got mine from my son for Christmas a few years ago.
Happy birthday to your hubby!

Will your hours go down after the Christmas rush?

Maybe a little, but not as much as they would have been before the promotion. That's one of the main reasons I took it, more guaranteed hours on a regular basis =]

I just had my first review, and it went very well!!

Slightly crazy day---had to get up 45 minutes earlier for an early dental appointment. It was 4 degrees F, and my windshield washer line was frozen up. Not good, because there's snow in the forecast. So after the dentist I went to the car dealership so they could drain the washer fluid and put in some super winter mix that they have. Got to work nearly 3 hours late, the snow had already started. Shortly after I got there we got an email saying we should go home and work from home when we could, so I brushed off the car and headed back home. I'm here keeping an eye on the email for jobs and keeping an eye on the snow. I have to keep the driveway open so Mr. can get in when he gets home.

I have a deicer windshield wash and I love it, works great.
It is nice to be able to work from home especially when the weather is bad.
Oh and thank you for the wonderful DVD you put together, I loved it!

Hi everyone!
I hope you are all enjoying your evening!
I am wrapping gifts and will be heading out in a little while to pick my daughters up from work. Our snow turned to rain earlier and now we have some icy spots out there, I thought it would be best for me to drive them in. I will be heading to bed after I get home so I wanted to wish you all a good night!
See you in the morning, sweet dreams!

We are back from the hospital after having all of the testing. My mom already received the results of her kidney and bladder sonograms - all is good. They said small stones and gravel likely would not have shown up. If a stone showed then it would have been big and surgery would have been needed to remove it.

My mom is just going to keep drinking a lot of water and hopefully if there's a small stone it'll pass! I want to avoid doctors and hospitals - don't need to get sick before Christmas!

Wonderful news that surgery is not needed. Will pray that all passes and she feels 100% better before Christmas!

Isn't this time of year beautiful?

ballcoach · Dec 17, 2013

I'm sitting here....with my little girl sleeping on my chest...watching the Polar Express...

a tear just rolled down my face...

I couldn't be any happier than I am...right now....

Christmasstar · Dec 17, 2013

Please pray for my mom, she has come down with one whopper of a cold, sore throat and just feeling run down. Also my son is getting it now too. I am working hard to make sure I do not get it!

Awesome on the review! Will you still get two days off each week at least ?
