Christmas Countdown - 2012

[Bradmac]

I usually don't get to do anything Christmassy on the 25th, but I had a treat this month! I had ordered Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas & a Yule Log DVD. Both came yesterday, so I watched them last night! DD & I covered up with an afghan & watched Mickey. I just put in the fireplace DVD to see what it looked like. It was very nice. You have three choices: crackling fire, holiday music, or crackling fire & holiday music. Loved it!

Another hot day here, but only mid-80's for a high. Yesterday & the rest of the week has mid to upper 90's for highs, & no rain in site. We need rain badly here. DD is at an outdoor VBS this week. They do swim in the lake, but I hope she's getting water & shade the rest of the day.

I'm really in the Christmas spirit the last few days & I hope I can keep it up & not wear it out by December 25th.:sparkle:

Nice! I've never heard of that. I'll have to find one for us! cheesy

This weekend we are having a graduation party for our daughter graduating from High school. With the family, friends and some 25 plus high school kids planning to attend, we decided to do something different and so we rented a 60 foot long inflatable water slide (suitable for adults as well). It comes with a slip and slide, palm trees and a wading pool at the end of it. Here's a picture of it:

Has anyone ever rented one of these before? We are renting it thru a company called Astro Jump. We hope that with this and a swimming pool, that this will help keep all those teenagers happy, cool and pre-occupied!
Especially with the temperatures starting to climb back up in the upper 90's again by this weekend...

Good morning, Christmas family

Awww...I just read that about the dog roaming who is a stray. If I were there, I would certainly probably fall in love with him ...I hope he stays safe..poor child......

How is everyone ?? Havent been on a lot between work and everything else. I am getting geared up for Christmas in July !! And my sister is coming down on Saturday this week for us to have a "sister" day together.

Wish is still in the hospital. He is on MASSIVE doses of a water pill to try and diurese him and get rid of the pulmonary edema. Dr. said yesterday he had not seen a lot of improvement, though. He was going to try another diuretic to see if it helped more......Keep your fingers and toes and everything that you can crossed.......

On the other hand........I have gained 2o pounds since April ! It makes me uncomfortable though. I was severely underweight so I guess I am "normal" weight now. I don't like it much. When I look in the mirror all I see is an obese middle aged whatchamacallit !!

I did take a test with another company over the weekend, I thought I did pretty well but haven't heard from them yet and even if I do......I still don't know what to do......I know it is ultimately my decision....it is so hard to leave something that may seem safe for something that is unknown....If I had savings it would be different. That way if things didn't work with a new company I would not have to worry about bills but as we have no savings, it could be disastrous...so we'll see. Okay enough babbletalk.

Thank you for everyone remembering to mention Wish and me in their prayers. I know he is old. I also know he was given a sort of reprieve when it was discovered it was his heart and not a brain tumor. I know no matter how long we have them it is never long enough....but I am not done loving him yet or holding him.......I just hope I have a little more time to do that.......

Take care Christmas family xoxo

Special ((((HUGS)))) to Ella, Harlowe, Snowball, Jacob, Cracker, Victor, Gomez and siblings, Chico and siblings, Snickers, Scooby, Sasha, Palmer, Mouse, Bo, Baby Bear, and all furchildren everywhere who just need love . xo

Oh, yes I hope the dog stay safe too....

'Sisterday' sounds FUN!
What do you girls do then?


Crossing everything I've got for Wish!

The unknown is always scary.
But sometimes we just have to jump in... have faith!

Take care, thinking of you! :-D

Another drive to Redding today to get the Neulasta shot. We are going early to do some grocery shopping before the shot. After the shot, I will take a pain pill and head for home. As Made always says, "Have a great day, everyone!!!" TTYL

{{{{Seawater}}}} - I pray this shot isn't as bad as you expect to be!

so much to do , so little time!
Finishing off my old job today and then start the new one this afternoon.
Trying to finish off cleaning up around here as I also have a cake to do for Saturday.
Now my daughter wants me to go with her to Toronto on Thursday morning, she won some kind of prize and it needs to be picked up. Better be worth it! What we do for our kids LOL

Hope you all have a great day everyone!

Have fun at your new job!

I can not believe my middle child turned 7 today. Born just 1 pound 10 ounces she is now heading into the 1st grade. Our little miracle baby never ceases to amaze us.

Hope you had a lovely day. less than 2lb sugar bet shes doing so well now

LOVELY

yes, thanks the cake and the cupcakes both made it, was able to park next to the door and with my son holding the umbrella they survived.

Another job well done

My blood test was good enough for me to have chemo on Monday. I also lost six pounds!!!

Glad your blood came back good .

So its been a crazy week we had my oldest son's graduation party last Sunday,all was going well burgers and dogs on the grill friends and family and beautiful weather.The boys all started to play a pickup football game harmless enough right? Wrong the game got a little too rough and my 15 year old son ended up breaking his leg.Bring on the ambulance and the police, what a mess so now he's in a cast for 6 to 8 weeks and his summer vacation is looking pretty boring. Its always something !!!

Good evening, Christmas family

Another Sunday night and another week of trying to get to the weekend coming up. I am really sad to say my little Wishbone is in the hospital. I should not have bragged he would be 16 in August I guess..... He has congestive heart failure and I don't know if he will make it.....I miss him so much, I can't even put it in words.

I hope all have a wonderful Christmassy Sunday evening xo

Yolie - I am so sorry for the loss of your grandmother's sister xo

Take care everyone xo

A louanne amso sorry to hear that. will be thinking about you

I am off to chemo and will try to check in when I get home. Today shouldn't be so bad; the bad will be after tomorrow after I get the Neulasta shot. Thanks to Shawna for the great tribute at her Relay for Life. What a blessing!!!

good luck with the chemo. and hopefully the shot will not be to bad.. cant be many left now your almost here ~}

Good afternoon,

Just got home from work, my wife had to take JP to the Dr because behind his ear was all swollen and itchy. She called and left a message before I got home and said they were going to get some bloodwork done to see if it could be a tick bite. hmmm?

I hope you all have a good day.

Hope jp is ok

Well I had a pretty productive morning. I replaced my sister's thermostat and gave my niece's a strong talking too. It turns out that they were throwing a ball around inside and hit the thermostat and broke it. Then I had to go help my sister's father in law clean out his storage shed because both of his sons were to lazy to help him. (Can you tell that I'm getting fed up with my family?) So I took two loads of old papers and stuff to the dump for him and then called my sister and yelled at her because over half of his storage shed is filled with her stuff. Of course now I have to go back over there and haul all of it back to her house before he gets rid of it at the end of next month. Oh well. It's not like I have anything better to do.
