Christmas Countdown - 2015

[Christmasstar]

Hey everyone! Hope y'all are great. Been a few days since I've been able to check in, but for good reason. I've got a 20 month old who just refuses to be put down. We have battled and battled all week. Can't believe I'm saying I've battled a 20 month old, but that' what is has been. Anybody got any suggestions? Things went so well, then all of the sudden she doesn't want to go to sleep.

she is most likely a tad jealous of her newly arrived sibling and all the attention she is getting.
Routine works best with little ones, same thing same time every night. Work up to bed time, eg... this was what I did with mine, dinner, play time, clean up time, bath time, story / cuddle time then off to bed. But. do the same thing every night and they get used to that
Like us adults they need some warning it is coming, we look at a clock and reason out how much time till then, but kids don't so routine becomes their "clock" that tells them it is soon that time.

Good morning friends! I hope you all had a good and restful night last night. I went to bed early (a theme this week!) and slept very well. My new workout routine has been making me feel great but also tired!

I'm on call this weekend and have about an hour's worth of work to do each day, but I'm looking forward to the time off around then! Is it just me, or is the summer FAR busier than the fall? Maybe it's my job, but I really feel like things are so much busier this time of year than when the fall comes around. At least there's a routine then and I'm not traveling as much!

Hope everyone has a great Friday!!

Good Morning! Happy Friday to you all~

I'm off to a 3 cups of coffee and 2 glazed doughnuts this morning. Yes, the sugar and caffeine is starting to take affect, Oh how I dread the crash later on this afternoon. By then, it will be time for more coffee...

Hello, yes it is I, I have been here, but yet, not here. As you know busy, busy, busy is like my middle name and for the past month, it has been even more intense than usual. We are slammed at work, been putting in steady overtime and yet still not enough hours to get all of this done in a normal work week. It's a good thing and a bad thing. Good to have the work, bad not to have a life....

But, in my field of work (Engineering), it's always the roller coaster effect as I call it, where we are slammed on month and then a steady 40 hours the next....Last week I did over 80 hours and the architect completely redesigned the entire job this past weekend, and we have to start all over again...sigh~
And even with all of that work, I still managed to finish all my work in my basement at home, cut the lawn, etc... and next week my FIL will tie all the electric that I ran into the panels. It's great to have a FIL that is a Master Electrician...

Looking forward to the weekend. I'm taking off and just piddle around a bit. On a sad note, one of my Christmas trees got a burial in the dumpster here at work, because I discovered it crushed from something large and heavy, falling on it at home...Oh well...it lived a good life in a happy home...

Well, back to work....

Take good care, buddy.

Those sales ladies at Hallmark are really trained ninjas, it would be bad if you made them mad. Look at how they react when you ask for a Dream Book. cheesy

Lol, so true!

Good evening,

Got lots of stuff done at work today, including getting a raise. It wasn't much, but I will take any at this point. It was because my job code is changing, so I will do the same job at more money, can't complain about that. cheesy

6 more working days until vacation, starting to get that excited feeling about it now that it is within my grasp.

I hope you all had a great day.


Goodnight, everyone.

Congratulations xmas, hope you have a great day!

My anniversary is coming up next week and I'm trying to find something special to come up with. At this point, I think two hours away from everyone else would be great for us, but that isn't likely. We will probably stay home and just hang out...which I am also fine with.

I'm about to go. Got some other things to read...

Can anyone point me in the direction of QVC Christmas schedule for this month?

There may be some separation anxiety going on, stick to a consistent, comforting bedtime routine. Good luck, I know it's not easy. I was always a pushover with my girls.
Sending early Happy Anniversary wishes!

Good morning!
It's Friday[emoji178]

Hope you have a wonderful day! [emoji173]️

Good morning!
Happy Friday!
Today is my middle daughter's 20th birthday. Time really needs to slow down, it's freaking me out!
Typical day of errands and chores. I'm working on a menu plan and grocery list for next week. I have to figure out what butcher I'm going to since mine is closed due to the fire. I really hope the town finishes paving my street soon. I wanted to food shop tomorrow but I refuse to unload a car full of groceries when I'm parked around the corner. I hate unloading the car when it's parked in my driveway! I guess I'll have to make small shopping trips until they're finished.
We will celebrate my daughter's birthday later this evening.
That's about it for me. I hope everyone is well and has a nice day!

Thanks, holiday!

She rested a lot at first, and then caught her second wind. We went on a walk with my neighbor friend and her dog,, Charlie.

She was happy =]

Happy Birthday to your daughter! I know what you mean about wanting time to slow down. Mine are growing up too fast.

Good Morning, Fellow Weekend Eve Arrivers.

Another Weekend Eve has indeed come and along with it, the latest count data for our inspection:
Days to the Season: 126
Days to Christmas Day: 168

The arrival of our next Milestone marker, the 2/3 point to Christmas Season 2015 looms just FOUR
days away -- scarcely more than HALF A WEEK.
(So soon to a *** MILESTONE DAY ***!)


Dry yesterday, but boy was it humid! The local weather channel said we were within 2 degrees
of the highest dew point ever recorded in our area, and it sure felt like it! The high was over 90 as well.
Today is predicted to be a bit cooler. (I certainly hope so!)
We are at 78 degrees here, currently.


Have a Fantastically Fabulous Friday, Friends.
And an incredible Weekend Eve, too!

I haven't watched any Hallmark, but Music Choice has been my poison. Every chance I get I have it on, I keep getting picked on by my wife and both kids, but I am loving it.

Good thing you can take it!! cheesy
