I cannot seem to get rid of this cold and now Wayne is starting to come down with symptoms. :-? It's okay because Christmas Cheer will make us better!

I cannot believe it but it just might snow all day Christmas!!! Today will get up to 70 then snow on Christmas?! Wow! :snowball

: I don't understand why weather.com doesn't mention it but all our local news stations talk about it. I think I will listen to the local news people!!!

It is slightly windy here in northern California. With that, it is COLD! I am POSITIVE we won't get snow, so I envy those of you that do have/will get it. I did a little shopping in Chico today, and the crowds were, well, crowdy! I picked up a few scrapbooking tools I needed and some other supplies The cancer supplies store was not open, so I have to get a new bra next week. Bummer! Oh, well.
.

We have a bit of snow, not expecting anymore before Christmas.
I forgot to tell you, the story I told you about my friend who has gone through the same thing as you, well she is putting all her stories in a book. She has not settled on a title yet but is leaning towards "You may loose a few things but make sure it is never laughter" I think it needs to be shortened, but will work on that. The cool thing is I will actually be in the book since we spent so much time together while she went through chemo. I hope it works out for her, she has so many amusing stories to share, as well as a few more serious ones.

Hello everyone. This morning I'm trying to keep the kids out of their presents! It may be a long, but fun, couple of days until they can open them!
Hope you all join me in praying for Caninemom3, Wishbone, and a Christmas miracle!
Have a good Sunday!

Good morning, Christmas family

It is a (BRRRRRR) cold day here in NE Ohio right now (18 degrees Fahrenheit) and I am just sitting down to work a little.

I hope all have a very, very Christmassy day today. Tomorrow is the NIGHT OF NIGHTS !!!!!!

I will have a status report on Wish later, hopefully. Just once in my life I would LOVE to see a miracle right about now. I don't mean to sound too mean or cynical, just feeling very discouraged and sad. All living things must end I know this but I can't help having lots of questions when things like this happen.

Take care, Christmas family xoxoxo

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. I did, but it went by too fast. I work tonight and tomorrow night, then I took off the next 3 days to be home with my family - DH will be working 2 of the nights, so I thought it would be nice for the kids to have someone home with them, instead of my a sitter.

Have fun at work and Have a wonderful Christmas!!!!

I don't know if this is any help at all but a little over 7 years ago I took in a stray kitty that was very ill, underweight and not eating. We took him in 3 times and on that 3rd visit the vet seemed to give up hope and hinted in a way that we should have him put down. He didn't say those exact words but I think he gave up. I didn't give up and asked if we could just switch his antibiotics and try that. I am talking about my dear sweet Charlie that I have now, healthy, sweet, happy and spoiled (as you can tell by me letting him sleep in my Christmas village)!

Maybe that is not a lot of help knowing that my kitty was fairly young when I got him but the vet gave up when Charlie and I didn't. You never know, Wish could pull through this fine. I have been praying a lot for you and Wish!!!

Have I ever told you how dear and sweet you are ?? Well, I am telling you now !! Wayne is the LUCKIEST man in the world. I am also very lucky to have you as my friend. Thank you for your story about Charlie. I believe things can definitely turn out different than the way doctors (both for humans and animals) say they will. I guess at this time I am just trying to get prepared for the worst and maybe I am a little afraid to hope anymore. Thank you, CAH, for your prayers for Wish xo I know YOU are definitely being heard (((HUGS))) xo

Ryan, your new little doggy is absolutely precious!!!!! I just want to hug that baby!!!

At my job we sell livestock feed, dog and cat feed and small animal feed. A lot of people bring their dogs in. I think I am about the only employee that has to hug every dog that comes in and they always get a dog treat from me! I just love animals!!!

Good Morning MMC!!!!! It's going to be a chilly day here but I'm more worried about Wednesday right now. It looks like we may see 6 to 10 inches of snow with 50 to 60 MPH winds. Basically a blizzard. Not Fun!!!! Mom and my aunt both have to go back to work then and that is the last thing they need to deal with. Today is going to be a busy day. I have to head to church here soon and then it will be off to deliver gifts to the family we adopted this year. After that's over it will be back home to cook. I need to make my macaroni salad, gingerbread whoopie pies, 2 cherry pies, and some more fudge to give to my neighbors. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even though we might get a little snow on Christmas we will take half of that snowfall from you if you don't want it. That will leave you 3-5 inches. Sound like a deal?

Enjoy your day. It sure is fun delivering presents to others! What a nice thing to do.

Thank you! Hope it will go by fast, then I can enjoy a few days off with my family again. That is what is most important to me. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Are you sure you don't want it all?
