Christmas Countdown - 2010

[Christmasstar]

. Also, my son Kyle turned 18 on Saturday which was somewhat bittersweet for me. I just keep focusing on the fact, that although he will hold my hand for only a little while, he will hold my heart forever. I read that somewhere and it kinda really stuck with me and tugged at me all weekend. I was happy to see him reach this milestone in his life, but of course I shed a few tears in silence. Seems like yesterday when he was born. Well maybe a couple of years ago, but not 18 years ago!!

Having your kids grow up is great, but sometimes....

Kandice is the same...she has been diagnosed with Asthma, too....and has an inhaler, too....it´s not like she has those asthma attacks that everybody thinks of when they hear about asthma....it´s just that every cough turns into an obstructive bronchitis...which in the end is nothing else but asthma

yes, that is what my daughter had too. She hated the inhaler, we had the kind with a mask that fit over her mouth and nose. I had to sit on the floor and wrap my arms around her and hold her legs and then sit with it on her until she could not hold her breath anymore and had to breathe in the medicine. (little ones can be so strong when they do not want to do something!) She was only 5 yrs old at the time. It took a good coule of months to get her to understand I was helping her not being mean. Once she figured that out it was much easier on both of us. She took this medicine until she was about 10.

Good Morning MMC!

Going to busy today with making the rest of the flowers for the cakes. But since it takes a lot of time to dry, I can pop in and out here too!
Also have to go for an interview about a possible job once I get my truckers license.

Have a great day everyone!! cheesy

Just finished reading a news story saying that owing to the depressed economy, it is expected that stores will decorate for Christmas earlier this year to try to jump start holiday buying.
Last year Crabtree decorated by mid-October. Will be interesting to see when they do it this year!

I was in Kmart yesterday and the employees were busy assembling the Christmas Trees for display. I walked out in the lawn and garden area and they had a long wall with nothing but CHRISTMAS stuff. Lights, ornaments, indoor and outdoor decorations, stiffed animals. It brought a big smile to my face and got me all excited!!!!

I forgot to say Good Morning! I hope U all are doing great. Kandice is sick once again...just caught a little cold....so far it looks like it´s not getting worse....so that is good....usually after one day of sneezing...she would start coughing and have bronchitis...so far it doesn´t look like this...so I am glad and thank God for this

I hope Kandice gets well soon!

Have a mentioned...you guys are the BEST!

I agree, people on MMC are the best! You're the best too!

I am just getting started with my shift for today which thankfully is just 5 hours. Have a great first day of Fall everyone !!!!

Have a good day working!

Finally it's fall, most people like myself could not tell by the temps. However even if mother nature wants to boil us, it wont stop my happiness of all things Fall and winter.

Well said!

Carl says that in honor of us being in double-double digit territory, a special batch of double-frosted fired twinkies will be offered. The first one is free at the door of course along with a complimentary first glass of sweet Southern iced tea and yes, even that first cup of.....coffee.
(His new experimental batch of banana-blueberry blended coffee is free as a test market but if you want any, you had better get there early -- and I mean EARLY -- meaning before Binger!)

I'm there! Yummy stuff!

Also have to go for an interview about a possible job once I get my truckers license.

Good luck on the job!

Morning friends! Christmas Shoppe on QVC at 11 today!!

I hope I am home to see it! Eastern time for you? If so, 10 am here. =)

Good Morning all!

First day of fall and it will be in the upper 80's and possible storms. Better than what was predicted for temps in the upper 90's all week. It should remain in the 80's all week.

I hope you all have a great day!

We don't have Kmart here anymore. I liked that store. So fun to see the stores getting their Christmas goodies in!

I haven't been to Kmart in ages. The closest one to us is about 40 minutes away. Maybe I will take a ride over to that one in the coming weeks. Thanks for the info.

I believe it offically begins at 11:00 tonight. Can't start soon enough. Highs have been around 80 and lows in the upper 50s all week at our house but next week we are supposed to return to normal for this time of year, (the low to mid 70s days and high 40s at night.)

Hope your mom has enjoyed Maggie Valley.

Same weather here. The storms keep falling apart as they come out of Illinois into Indiana though. We had a record high yesterday of 96 and tomorrow they are expecting it to get even hotter.:-?
