Christmas Countdown - 2011

[MsChristmas]

Good Morning! Eating breakfast with my Boys.. Im off work today. Suppose to be near 100 degrees :-? ... may take them to the pool for a little bit. Listening to Christmas music currently and watching Dylan (my almost 2 year old) sing and dance haha

My hands are trembling....my fingers can barely touch the right keys.....

"Why?"

Because I can't believe I'm posting the countdown on a milestone....makes me want coffee (hoping this is a first that the poster of the countdown admits they want to drink coffee)!

Here it is guys, gals, and gender-nuetral friends.....

Days to the Season: 158
Days to Chrismas: 200

Wow! Don't that rounded number look nice. Tomorrow, into the 100's!!

 

[ballcoach]

Whew.....that amount of emotion can wear a person out! Back to bed for me!

Wowzer - what a day! Started at 3:10am-ish when I was woken up by a 4.2 magnitude earthquake that was centered about 50 miles outside of St. Louis. It doesn't happen too often around here - I think the last one was 3 years ago that was actually noticeable. There was no damage here in the area, just people that noticed the windows rattling or what not. Just enough to spark some conversation.


So now it is time to decompress and just let today's frustrations melt away and carry on tomorrow with a fresh slate. Those are nice to have sometime and I'm thankful that each day we have that chance!

I'm glad no one was hurt!
I'm thankful for the fresh slate chance each day, too cheesy

I know the feeling I had no coffee for 14 minutes and my jumping up and down caused everyone in the city to think it was an 8.5

HI YA COACH...

YABBA!

:lol:

Good morning!

Going to be another hot one today. I'm cooking my pasta now while it is still somewhat cool in the house and not too hot out to shut the windows. Trying a new recipe, tuna spaghetti, my variation of The Pioneer Woman Cooks chicken spaghetti. Working most of the day.

Have a great day, stay cool and be safe!!!!!!

tornadoes, gout, scorching weather, earthquakes, broken bones, sounds like the making of one of those end of the world movies.
Praying that everyone who is having a rough time is soon out of it and feeling better and more stable.

Well, I was feeling better until I got up to go into the kitchen. I realized that my back and chest were killing me. Then I had a coughing fit again and decided that I could not go with hubby. I went to school and then left at lunchtime to go back to the doctor. They did more xrays and found two broken ribs, #4 and #5. No wonder it was killer to cough!

I'm so sorry! I hear broken ribs are tough to deal with. I hope you heal up quickly!

Good Morning MMC !

Well, I'm sitting here, trying not to be too "motherly" as Bruce packs to fly to Philadelphia tomorrow for 3 months. On one hand, it's 23.40 hours, the case still has stuff in it from when he came home 3 weeks ago from college and he's just - literally within the last hour - asked what time the doctors opens tomorrow because seemingly he has to have a medical!!!!!!!!!! If he doesn't arrive with a completed form signed by the Dr saying he's healthy, they'll organise one for him there (which he'll have to pay for, won't he??) and will possibly not get his end of season bonus. We leave for the airport at 8am. Not a lot of wriggle room......okay, NO wriggle room!

On the other hand, he is training to be an elementary school teacher, he's considered an adult in the eyes of the law and really is big enough and ugly enough to deal with packing and paperwork etc. himself without help from me. Oh, and I've also just found out that he's got to apply for this year's college loan before he goes too - 8 hours and counting

I'm sure gonna miss him :-(

That's what moms do! lol! Just look at it this way, if you did end up helping him, he will be on his own after he leaves and then he will have to do this on his own from now on. It's ok to be "motherly" knowing he will be away for awhile. I know the frustration all too well and we have to step back and let them do for themselves but it's hard. The joys of being a mom! :wink:

I know you will miss him. My kids are 21 and 25. My son is 21 and still at home going to college. My daughter is 25 and lives 5 minutes away and I still miss her!

Aww! I am sorry. I hope you heal quickly!!!

I am not sure if my dad has tried cherry juice for gout. I seriously had no clue it was that painful because my dad has never emphasized the pain. All we would see is an extremely swollen foot and cringed at the sight of it and he would say, "It's ok, I think it's better today". We all knew it wasn't getting better! Thanks for the suggestion, I will let him know.

Brent, congratulations on your graduation!

Laney, glad you are safe from the earthquake.

Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!

OUCH!! I think I broke my big toe!! I was playing keepaway with our dog, Lulu, last night. I lunged to get the tennis ball from her, but tripped over Elizabeth's beanbag, and I really hurt my toe. Here at work, I have on one tennis shoe and one flipflop. My toe is black & blue and bleeding around the back of the nail. OWOWOW!

We had family-nite supper (first Tuesday of the month) at my in-laws last night. We had breakfast for supper....I love that!

I hope you all have a great day! cheesy

Good afternoon, everyone!

Been real busy! Not much time on here either. Currently, I have laundry and supper going. I have practice tonight at 6:30 and then I need to be on the road afterward. My graduation is tomorrow in North Bay, so I must head back and see everyone one final time. It will be nice to get that sheet of paper, too!

Congrats, Brent! Have a great grad ceremony!

I broke mine back in November while I was playing with my dog too. Ouch!!! It really hurt! It still gets sore from time to time since I broke it.

I hope it heals quickly!

Just like the ribs, there's not much you can do with a broken toe! Hope you heal quickly!
