Christmas Countdown - 2012

[made582]

Did someone say FRIDAY?!?!?

It's going to be a long one for me, as it was yesterday. Working 9:00 AM until 9:00 PM. When people are already spread too thin, it makes a big difference when 1 person is on vacation.

Don't work to hard!!!!!! We don't want you falling asleep during the Skillet tomorrow night.

Of course now I can't find anything!!!:-?

That's because I got rid of it. :wink:

Anyone ever try taking Melatonin to sleep? I have been having a lot of trouble sleeping lately and I heard that it works for some people.

What I like about Melatonin it's all natural. I take a 1/4 of one and it knocks me out but I am sensitive to everything. When I have a cold I have to take childrens cold medicine because adult strength is too much for me.

He will fall asleep in the skillet!

Good Morning! I hope everyone is having a great morning so far! I have been busy getting stuff done. We have a full weekend ahead and work will be VERY BUSY! This week is our "Black Friday", everyone rushing in for Easter gifts and also planting season.

Seawaters, I hope you are healing well!!!

MerryCarey, I see Mr. back got his 15 minutes of fame. =)

Take care my Christmas friends! =)

So we had call into the school for my son to transfer all aplications have to go through the guidance office and after she questioned why he wanted to change schools my wife told her what had happened with the baseball team her words were "We shouldn't make such a hasty decision" and she would like to talk to the athletic director first.So my wife that was fine but the coach has a tendency to be loose liped about parent concerns and we were told that would not be allowed.
we'll see about that! You know the simple answer would be to not allow the same guy be the freshman coach for all sports because once the blinders go on to who are the favorites then the actual ability factor in the sport doesn't matter anymore.Anyway thanks for putting up with my venting!!!

I did - I quit taking it because I kept waking up crying. According to the pharmacist, the additives in the melatonin I was taking was causing a reaction. If you do decide to take some, check with your pharmacist first!

LC had strawberries, he won't eat real food ever.

LC has good taste cheesy

I agree, one coach should not be doing all the sports, surprised it is even allowed.

I switched my kids from public to Catholic and it was the best thing we ever did. They all excelled in a school that actually cared about how the individual did. They got lots of support and bullying was truly at zero tolerance. They worked real hard with my son until he got his high school diploma, something the public school board said would never happen with his learning disabilities.

So the Mega Millions jackpot just reached $640 million!!!! Heck if I win that much I could buy everyone a house in Santa Claus, Indiana instead of just taking everyone on vacation there.

Work is done for me this week. Have a nice weekend everybody!

It hit the news here in Canada, apparently if we want to make the 2 hour drive to the boarder with gas costing over $5 a gallon, wait to cross and deal with the boarder crossing guards, find a store that sells the tickets, then wait 2 hours in the line up for the tickets. Then 8 hours later get home again.
If we should happen to win we are actually allowed to do so.
:razz:

as for the house, a nice big mansion available for all members to use on vacation would go well with the jet!

Friday at last...this has been the week from Hades for me. I had a Doctor's appointment last Monday because I've been having trouble with anxiety. Found out my blood pressure was way up. Got new BP meds to take with the old BP meds. Was very anxious the whole visit. On Tuesday, the anxiety got totally out of control, and I had to leave work. Was off work Wednesday and Thursday. Finally had to come back to work today, and I'm sitting here shaking like a leaf. I had a discussion with my doctor this morning, and he's put me on two 'nerve pills'. Now, the big problem is that I am an organist and Holy Week is coming up. When I sat down to practice last night, in the privacy of my own home, my hands shook so bad I couldn't play. I've never had this sort of problem before. Never. I'm so upset I don't know what to do, and that's making my anxiety even worse. Could you please keep me in your prayers? I don't know what I'll do if I have to stop playing piano and organ-this is the love of my life.

we have a local newscaster who suffers from anxiety attacks, he talks openly about it. I hear they can be very hard on a person.
Put on some praise and worship music and just let it play as you relax. (utube is a good place to find it if you do not have any at home)
Praying for you.

Sounds like the Hokey Pokey to me!!! LOL.

you stick one leg in, shower it, take a break
then the other leg and take a break
after that your right arm and take a break...
and so on!
Takes hours for one shower, but is possible.
:razz: LOL

LOVE this!!! So darn cute!

Thank you for the good suggestion. I have a Pandora Radio subscription, but it never dawned on me to try to set up a Christian station. I'm going to get that started today.

Stand your ground. Also, I am partial to Catholic schools. My nephew goes to one and has done wonderfully. Please let us know how things progress. This reminds me about what CM3 asked about being happy in her job. Your son needs to be happy about school. Being in a positive atmosphere will definitely be good for him. It is like what someone posted recently: What happened to giving EVERYONE a chance to play? I think I would remind the guidance office AND the coach that you take confidentiality very seriously. On that, I would be adament.

Thinking of you right this minute, MerryBells. Deep breaths, deep breaths.

Good morning, Christmas friends. It is overcast here in northern California. Just my kind of day. I have a cup of Pumpkin Spice coffee which really puts me in a holiday mood. I still have lots of work to do on lesson plans. I want to set up a notebook that has the fun holiday plans set up so that the week I work on that stuff, I will have all the info in the same place. Working on that seems to make the time go faster and contributes to a positive outlook. Have a great day, everyone.
