Sounds like a great day HMG! Enjoy the visit with your Mom. I hope you feel better soon!!!! Have a great day!

Have a great day, HMG!!!! Hope you get back to feeling 100% soon!!! Have fun visiting with your mom!!!!

Thank you both!

Good Morning, MMC!!!! It's going to warmer here today thankfully with a high of 37!!!! Not to much going on here today. My niece's just got up. They slept from 9 last night to 9:30 this morning. I need to load them up with benadryl more often. LOL!!! So I have to get them to eat something now so we can battle over taking their meds. Then I need to run to the store to get them more kleenex since they have went through the 2 boxes I had here this week. I need to pick up a few other basic's as well but will probably do my big shopping trip tomorrow. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope the girls get well soon!

Good morning mmc! getting ready to head out the door to go see my brother in the hospital and hopefully find out some info! I would be lying if I said I was not worried, even though I know it will not do any good! So I will be back here tonight hopefully with news of some sort, I think the waiting and not knowing is worse than knowing something, even if it's bad at least then you can deal with it, okay thanks for the prayers and I will talk to you all tonight! Have a great Friday!

Sending up prayers gabulldawg.

Good morning MMC! Happy Friday!! I'm so looking forward to the weekend, with no plans!!! That's unusual ~ but it's kind of nice since I'll be getting up early, early Monday morning to take Mom to the hospital for Dads surgery. My Dad has to go even earlier (4am) but I'm going to bring mom later. My sis is taking Dad. Hopefully all goes extra well & then it will be time to hammer down & get prepared for vacation!!! :yahoo:

I had stitch & 8itch at our house last night. It got late, but I finished my tree skirt! Yay! I'll post a pic after I take one! Gracie stole the show last night - aka...stole our yarn! The little thief! She was being her normal ornery self!!!

Do you think she likes playing in the snow??


I made a new recipe for the girls last night - Skinny Buffalo Chicken Bites. They were quite tasty. It made around 30 chicken balls, so I brought 1/2 of the to work this morning & they are gone. 3 of the guys asked for the recipe! cheesy So I'll share here too:

Skinny Buffalo Chicken Bites
Yield: 10 Servings
Recipe adapted from Seeded at the Table & Food Network

Ingredients
3 cups shredded cooked chicken
1/3 cup favorite hot sauce
3 1/2 oz. fat-free cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (you won't use all of it)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3 cups Corn Flakes cereal, crushed (maybe add a little seasoning salt to these)

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, hot sauce and cream cheese; mix well. Stir in cheddar cheese and green onions and set aside. Using 3 separate bowls, set out the flour, eggs and crushed cereal. Scoop out chicken mixture and make 1 1/2-inch balls, first rolling in flour, then dipping in egg and last coating with cereal. Repeat this until you have about 30 balls. Place balls on sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden. Serve with blue cheese or ranch dressing and enjoy!

TGIF, my Christmas friends!

Elizabeth and Lulu are feeling better today, and Nancy didn't leave me for Harry Connick, Jr., so things are pretty good today!

It's sunny and chilly this morning, just as I like it. It's supposed to be up to 70° this weekend...nice!

We got a notice that the school is starting a sporting clays team. I hope Jacob wants to tryout! He's one of the best natural shots I've seen, and I think he'd have a good "shot" at making the team. I might have to practice with him...just to make sure he's putting the work in. :wink:

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

So happy to hear that Elizabeth and Lulu are feeling better.
Good luck to Jacob if he decides to try out for the team!
Enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend!

Have a GREAT weekend MMC!!! Stay safe & warm!
:nice:

You too Holiday!

My niece's and their homework is going to be the death of me!!!

Well the niece's are gone. Time to clean up the mess and disinfect everything!!!

I hope you find some time to relax, enjoy the rest of the day!

Hope you soon are to 100%! Hope the visit today with your mom was nice!

Thank you so much!

Wow what a long day! We still did not find out anything specific about my brother's condition, more than we already knew that it, they are leaving his catheter in at least until Tuesday when they will see if he can resume normal functions, meanwhile he is still hurting, I spend most of the afternoon rubbing his back to make feel better, he is not like me in the fact he is abrubt with the nurses and dr's and I tell him he needs to be nicer, then maybe they will be nicer...I don't know I am just bummed out, but I am getting ready to eat, then go to bed..have a good Friday night everyone, and I will try to get on tomorrow at some point in time!

 

[gabulldawg]

I had time to read the past 3 pages, and I wanted to say thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers, I really need them and I have thought about yall here a lot during this day, it has been so stressful, and it's hard to explain, but I am torn in between loving my brother and worrying about his condition, and trying to keep him from getting expelled from the hospital(if there is such a thing) he is just the polar opposite of me..which is laid back and easy to get along, with, but at the same time I can't stand the thought of him being up there by himself! But anyway thanks everyone I truly appreciate the prayers!

Good morning!
Tapatalk was giving me problems again last night so I wasn't able to check in. I hope I didn't miss anything important. Everyone is off to work & school so I'm just relaxing for a few minutes with a cup of coffee. I don't have too much planned for today, just a couple of quick errands and daily chores. I'll also be working on a menu plan & grocery list. I wish I didn't have to go anywhere, it's freezing out there and I'm still not back to feeling 100%. I have a cough that's been lingering. My mother is coming over for a visit later this afternoon so I'm looking forward to that. That's about it for me. I hope everyone is well and has a nice day.
Hugs and prayers ~

Hope you had a good, productive day!
Hope you had a nice visit with your mother-in-law!
And that you're feeling better too [emoji169]

Dawg, i'm really sorry you didn't find much out today! How frustrating! I hope your brother listens to you and starts being nicer to the staff. Nobody likes to be there that's for sure – but hopefully he realizes it can be a little better if everyone is cordial to each other and can maybe even have a laugh here or there! I sure hope you get some good news! Praying for you all!
