Christmas Countdown - 2011

[Murphman]

A HOT good morning!
We never got below 83 degrees last night and the predicted high is 99 for this afternoon with a heat index of 109!!

109 aint nothing. Here in Fayetteville we are expected a heat index of 114-116. I feel for the workers having to be outside in it.

Hope everyone is having a good summer. I don't pop in here much from May through Sept. but I'll be back in the fall. Take care

My wife got home a little more than hour ago, my mother in law basically had a nervous breakdown. She is going to be in the hospital for a while, her mind is not in a good place right now.

I hope your mother in law gets better soon.

Good Morning Everyone!!!!!! It is going to be another hot one here in central Indy. It looks like we will get a couple days of relief starting tomorrow but the heat will return for the weekend. I managed to talk my niece out of watching spongebob this morning by playing all of the taylor swift videos on On Demand. I find it funny that she refuses to learn her abc's but knows every taylor swift song by heart. I was thinking about going to get my haircut this afternoon but I think I will wait until tomorrow when it is cooler. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning! Had to call poision control last night.. my youngest Dylan (will be 2 years old next month) decided the foam anti bacterial handsoap was yummy and ate some. I was right there letting the dog out but he still swallowed some. He has never tried that before. I was so scared but they said it was a small amount to just give him some water and he would be fine. It was still scary though.

Got my dresser put together but it will probably take me through the weekend to get everything organized. Going to the Beach all day tomorrow.. we will be leaving around 6 am because its about a 2 1/2 hour drive. It will be a long day but I hope the Boys love it. I have to work Thursday so we cannot stay the night.

Also found out yesterday my Brother in Law and Sister in Law are having a BOY. Its their first baby and he should arrive right before Christmas! Im very excited but was sad to hear that my BIL and SIL were disappointed because they wanted a girl. Everyone has their opinions but this is their first baby and I feel like they should be happy and feel blessed just to be bringing a little healthy miracle into this world. I have 2 Sons and was never disappointed to hear I was having 2 of the same sex. I guess I was just surprised that people would actually be disappointed or upset over the gender of their baby. OH well..sorry for the rant! Just working today.. hope everyone has a wonderful Christmassy day!

She would get along great with my mom. My mom LOVES watching Spongebob. Lol!

Kids can SCARE us to death sometimes! I am glad he will be ok!

Good morning, Christmas friends. It is supposed to be cooler today, somewhere in the 80s. I finally got a key to my "new" classroom yesterday. I went in to put up some air freshners. The teacher who retired and who used that room for years had snakes that she kept in the classroom. Not my favorite smell! I am all for nice smelling air. In fact, I am sort of known around school for a nice smelling room. I am going over to my classroom, so I will talk later. Hope everyone has a great day!

I have had 2 sleepless nights in a row.

I hope you can get some sleep tonight and I hope I can too!

Thank you - I hope you get some sleep tonight, too!

Insomnia is the pits. Two nights after we got home from vacation, thanks to the time-zone shift, we both lay awake until nearly 4 a.m. We were reciting literature a comedy routines, trying to get sleepy! Finally I said, "Marley was dead, to begin with ..." and Mr. nearly died laughing. That reminded me that during the Christmas season we sometimes fall asleep listening to Geoffrey Palmer's unabridged reading of "A Christmas Carol," so I put that on---but we heard every word.

I've been sleeping all right, but it hasn't kept me from feeling drowsy the past several days. Just can't get energized!

I hope your energy comes back!

Good sleepy afternoon!

Still hot and humid here - occasionally a puff of breeze comes in the window. There is a Justin Timberlake song on right now - I think it might be a new guilty pleasure - lol.

Have a great afternoon and stay cool!!!!!!!

This was SO ADORABLE !!

Busy busy weekend...wondering when things will calm down around here! Never seems to end. Tomorrow is Travis' birthday...my parents and I are taking him to Carrabba's for dinner and I'm hoping to score an iPad 2 for him, but so far no luck in the Best Buy's around here! If I can't find one, I'm going to print out a picture of one, stick it in his card and tell him that he is definitely getting one, but not until the stores stock up. I'm hoping he will be as surprised as I've been envisioning the last month and a half!!

Goodnight everyone!

Happy Birthday To Travis !!!!!!!

[Christmasstar]

Made - I saw you "liked" that on her page, too!!!

I LOVE IT! How much do you love that picture??? Valerie is prob my fave!!

 

[judesmama]

I feel like I've been neglecting my MMC pals!! It's so hard to sit on the computer for any period of time because Noel is officially a RUNNER now... keeps me on my toes! I tell myself it's "better" to have early walkers/runners because then I'll get over the craziness earlier rather than later (lol).

It's scorching here and supposed to "cool down" to 90 but less humid tomorrow. Ugh! Over the heat now!!!

They found 2 spots on the inside of my nieces stomach. They are not sure what they are so the doctor took biopsy's and told my sister it will take about 2 weeks to get the results back. The doctor didn't think they were from acid reflux but said to give my niece prevacid to see if it helps until the results get back.

 

[judesmama]

Just said a prayer that she will be ok.
