Christmas Countdown - 2010

[Christmasstar]

Hi everybody.
Have been gone since Sunday...been at the children´s clinic with Kandice, while playing with two other children, she fell on the floor so unlucky that her head smacked on the ground....she was crying and crying and threw up a few minutes later....I drove up to the hospital with her then and they kept her there...of course I stayed there with her....she had a slight brain concussion and monitored her for two nights....all is fine now and she is back to her old self.......I am not....I got a terrible ear-infection...some watery stuff is even coming out of my ear.....the doctor checked it out and told me my ear-drum is broken.....it was broke in 98 and 99.....so I will have to have surgery again....oh what a year....can´t wait til christmas

I went through a couple of years like you are right now. Several surgeries for me, having a son still born and then my daughter needing special care and physiotherapy. I started to think maybe I was a bad person, doing something wrong etc, etc,.
But over the years I came to realize that stuff happens, both good and bad.
The good thing is, the bad stuff moves on and the good stuff lasts so much longer!
So hang in there. cheesy

So, I took a personality test today at this event. Not to put you to sleep with this, but one of the traits of the personality I was determined to have was that holiday are family events and that I spend alot of time planning these events.

They have no clue!

Long, long day today. Tired! Bout to turn in. See all later!

Good evening all!


Back to work today, had to clean up a huge mess in the freezer, spent about 4 hours in -10F to get it done. Had the interview for the promotion, they told me I am on the short list for the job. JP woke up about 20 min. ago I think he had a nightmare, he is asleep now but the Dr. also warned us these next few days are the most painful for him, as the healing is getting close to done.

Have a great night and don't forget ShopNBC Christmas starts in 12 minutes!

Well I guess that I am not the only one who loved the Thomas Pacconi santa. It has already sold out in less than 20 minutes. They have a santa with a snowman but I am not as crazy about it.

 

[made582]

Well as much as I would like to stay up all night to see all the christmas stuff I really need to go to bed. Goodnight Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my goodness Track...I don't know how I missed your post yesterday! So happy to hear that Kandice is doing better - and so sad to hear that you will have surgery! We are all pulling for you. Hang in there!

Good morning Chritmas friends!

Well - I was soooooooooo tired last night that all I could do was veg on the couch. I actually snoozed the alarm once this morning which is very rare for me. I keep my alarm across the room on my dresser - so that when it goes off, its more of a pain to get up...snooze it...then crawl back into bed. So - 99% of the time I get up - shut it off, and then start my day.

But - now that I'm up and am having my coffee (YUM!)...I'm starting to wake up quite nicely. I have such a busy day ahead of me since I wasn't at work yesterday and my boss is back today. Oh boy...just gotta remember I can only do one thing at a time!

I hope you all have a super merry day today! The key is this...think Christmas!!! :razz:

Oh no Track! Im glad that Kandice is doing better and best of luck with your ear. Ear aches are the worst! When will you have surgery?

Good Morning MMC !

Going out for my morning walk. It is raining a bit, but the sky seems to be clearing up.

Bought some new Christmas ribbons and stars at a thrift store yesterday. Already thinking about how to decorate the house this year.

My goodness, Track! I'm so sorry Kandice hurt herself, but at least she's ok. And I hope they can fix your ear problem. Feel better!

Good Morning, Christmas Comrades!

Hey!
It's already the middle of the week!
(So soon?)
Yes, it's Shispering Pines day. Time to have a nice tall cool one on the rooftop deck and take in that view to the weekend while reviewing the count.
Days to the Season: 115
Days to Christmas Day: 157
Two weeks from tomorrow, folks -- the 100-day Season window.
Then, on down into double digits and the downhill slope to Christmas Season 2010.

And with this relentless heat and humidity, I am ready for the cool Christmas season!
We hit 98 for the high yesterday, with the promise of upper 90's today, Thursday and Friday, then 101 is predicted for Saturday!
Got a smidgen of rain late yesterday but basically, we remain dry.

Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Everybody!
Holiday, Carl and I will be awaiting your visit at the 'Pines.

That's terrible, Track. Good to hear that Kandice is back to her normal self. Concussions can be incredibly serious, especially at such a young age. Hopefully that is the only one she ever suffers. Good luck with the ear surgery. That must be real frustrating.

So - 99% of the time I get up - shut it off, and then start my day.

My wife does this, but she still gets back in the bed...4 or 5 times before she actually stays up. I can't believe she goes back to sleep after she gets out of bed several times!

And with this relentless heat and humidity, I am ready for the cool Christmas season!
We hit 98 for the high yesterday, with the promise of upper 90's today, Thursday and Friday, then 101 is predicted for Saturday!

It sounds like we're in the same weather pattern, Crown. Stay cool!

Hey, I did a multi-quote! You really CAN teach an old dog new tricks! cheesy
