Christmas Countdown - 2012

[made582]

My foot is KILLING ME !! My left third toe is swollen to twice its size, is warm and erythematous....Anyone know what that sounds like ?? I self-diagnosed it as psoriatic arthritis but I don't know. I just know it HURTS like the bee-jeebers. I can't even bend it because if I do it is agony.

Thats how my big toes get when I have a gout attack. I don't think that's your problem though. Did you check to make sure that you didn't see any bite marks on it?

I hope it feels better soon!!!

I hope we all get some rain and a much needed COOL DOWN........I know you told me the forecast for Fall was above average but I am hoping and PRAYING it does not come true !! I just want the weather to be "normal" for the season......Not sure that can even happen any more ! xo

I checked the extended forecast for my area and it shows that temps. are going to be favorable for an extended growing season here with temps ranging in the 70s - 80s. Yay - my pole beans are just now starting to produce.

Not much going on here right now. DS has been in bed for almost a half an hour already - he's teething again and he's been so fussy lately.

I hope he's doing better this morning!!

If it gets that bad, it's VERY bad, but it's already really bad right now - 3 houses are involved and one of the houses partially collapsed.

My prayers are on the way too.

Good morning and Happy Labor Day to you all! How is everyone? I am well, just getting breakfast for the kids and starting to do some things around the house.

Any Labor Day plans? My parents, sister, and her boyfriend are coming in for lunch today. I guess you could call it a picnic, but it will be inside, it is raining out off and on. That's okay, we'll still enjoy ourselves.

DH is working - I know some of you probably read my post last night about him possibly getting called into work. Well, he never did, but they ended up having 3 fires total last night. Those guys, a long with all emergency personnel work so hard. God Bless them, especially on this Labor Day! Thank goodness for the unions - I don't know what we would do without my husband's!

Well, off to read some posts and then get some things done. Hope everyone enjoys today - back to work tonight...blah! :lol:

Tomorrow our crown returns refreshed and ready once again to continue the countdown for us.

Thanks for keeping us up to date why Crown was gone Christmasstar!!!!!!!!!

I hope he's doing better this morning!!



My prayers are on the way too.

Thanks, Made. He seems to be doing better right now, but you can always tell when it's his nap time or bedtime. He does get very fussy. EA was this way with her teeth too. It amazes me how some kids aren't affected at all and how some eat all the side affects - my kids always do - poor things.

It ended up almost going into a 3rd house - I am not sure if I said that in the post last night. It started to or they thought, but they saved the third house. When they arrived a scence, both 2 houses were pretty much gone. I think it's crazy how that can happen at 8:30 pm at night in the city, but it happens all the time.

Good Morning MMC & Happy Labor Day!!!!!! It's going to be another hot and humid day here in central Indy. Boo!!!! Not much going on here today. I think we are going out to my sister's house for lunch and then the rest of the day will just be spent relaxing. It doesn't seem like Labor day though without the telethon. That was always our tradition growing up. We would cook out and watch the telethon all day. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

My foot is KILLING ME !! My left third toe is swollen to twice its size, is warm and erythematous....Anyone know what that sounds like ?? I self-diagnosed it as psoriatic arthritis but I don't know. I just know it HURTS like the bee-jeebers. I can't even bend it because if I do it is agony.

That sounds really sore this might sound a funny thing to ask but is the nail on the foot ok ??

Before I try to finish reading all the posts from yesterday and today, I need to rant (delete if this is TMI). I had to be absent two half-days this week (Wednesday in the afternoon and Thursday in the morning). My kids misbehaved and I asked the principal to come in and talk to them. She was at my door on Friday morning to meet with me and told me that I was the reason for the students' misbehavior, that I had been absent too much, and that this was a problem!!! I guess that I am not allowed to get the same benefits from our contract as the other teachers! I guess that I cannot be sick or absent, even though per our contract, we get 10 sick days a year! Rant over. TTYL

This is such a shame you're being treated this way, Seawaters. I hope somone gets involved soon and fast. Do you have a teacher's union? Is there any lawyer?

I forgot to add that I have some peach fuzz on my head. It is WHITE!!!

YAHHHH! :thumbsup:

 

[sugar142286]

Good morning!
Mornings are the hardest.
My head feels like it's full of cotton wool...
Hard time getting out of the bed!

8 o'clock in the morning here, so Im going to make
some breakfast for the little one...
Just black coffee for me... Anyone else wanting a cup? =]

You're starting to worry me woman! You've been sick for a while. Have you seen a doctor? Hope you start feeling better soon!

Good Morning All,
Its a rainy Labor Day here in New Jersey. Makes the end of the summer season sad and somber. But the good news is, at least I get to focus on upcoming Holiday season. I am thinking about adding something different to my holiday menu this year, but haven't decided on anything yet. I will browse around and see what I can find. Gives me something to do since its so dreary outside. I hope everyone is having a MERRY day.

Is anyone going to Canada or is anyone from Canada coming to the States? Maybe you could meet up somewhere so Undrtkr could get his cookbook!

He can't get his cookbook, but he can get the Wishbook!!!

Definately thinking of the families and those who are serving!

Goodnight everyone - going to spend time with DH - he may get called into work, but hoping he doesn't. There is a very bad fire right now - a 3rd alarm and if it gets to a 4th alarm, he'll have to go. If it gets that bad, it's VERY bad, but it's already really bad right now - 3 houses are involved and one of the houses partially collapsed. He works in the morning, so they will try to not call them in, but will if they have to. Praying for the families involved and the firefighters that are there fighting the fire - it always makes me worry, even though I try not to think about it!

Goodnight!
