How awesome! Sounds like your next few days are for making memories...enjoy every minute! :smile:

Thank you! I will - when the kids are this little, every minute is worth spending with them and it feels like every minute is a memory! They're so precious!

I heard from her yesterday and she has just been extremely busy watching her grandkids. She was hoping to pop on soon to check in.

Thanks for the update, Made. I was starting to get worried myself. I was actually going to ask today.

Thanks for posting, Whitney!

Good Morning, my we-made-it-to-Weekend Eve Friends and Christmas Lovers.

Whew!
Another work week nearly behind us.....
.....with another Milestone just ahead tomorrow:
Days to the Season: 81
Days to Christmas Day: 123
Yes, Folks.
Tomorrow will see our famous MILESTONE DAY header once again as we arrive at the 2/3 mark to Christmas Day 2012.
<< Wow! Will these Milestones never cease, Crown? >>
Why no. They won't.
<< Good! >>

Hey. A rainless day yesterday with still the lower temps.
Nice!
I see 69 degrees on our digital backdoor thermometer here in the suburbs of the great capital city of Raleigh.

Allrightaroni.
You have a Fabulously Full & Fantastic Friday, Friends.
And may your Weekend kick off Wonderously this afternoon in the spirit of the Season!

Until I can figure out/ understand the MMC radio/ shoutcast item I'm having, I can talk about something else...

I wasn't here yesterday because it was my daughters first day at college. We packed her up and spent the day with her yesterday getting her set up in a dorm. Everything was fine until it was time to say goodbye, mannn, when I huged and kissed her and started to walk away, it hit me hard, like someone took a knife and cut out my heart.... It took all my strength, to hold back my emotions, my feeling and my tears....

She's the baby, and this is the very first time she has ever been away from us/ home. My wife was a mess, and still is. No matter what, as a parent, It's soooo hard to face reality and to let goooo! After I left, later on, she sent me a text message , thanking me for everything and she said she loved me and missed me.... That about did me in....and, is still getting to me, even as I type this!

I do realize that you have to let go a bit, but wow, I'm struggling here...

Sounds like you're a very good dad and you've done a wonderful job with your daughter. Hope she has a wonderful semester and loves college.

Hello! It's been nearly a week since I have been on. I hope to have more time next week to spend time on the Countdown.

I have been watching a lot of Christmas movies and cartoons with the kids this week. It's been fun!

I hope everyone is okay!

Have a Merry Day!

Thanks for checking in. It's good to hear from you. We were all worried!

Glad to hear you're having fun with the grandkids! Keep enjoying yourself!

Hey! I figured you were probably napping. I am not sure how much I can partake in. The kids will be up soon. Hope I can at least watch 45 minutes or so with you! :wink:

My back is still very sore ~ it is almost impossible for me to not lift my arm and stretch. I never realized how much I do that in the course of a day. Needless to say, it takes a lot longer to heal when I keep moving the muscle.

Hope your back feels better soon!

Made: are you having trouble with the site? It for about 5 minutes kicked me off, then when I got back on, kept giving me that message that it sometimes does, about the platinum membership, which I have one. Anyway, the last two times I have signed on, I've got a message too about putting in some code about radiontuna. What the heck is that?

 

[sugar142286]

Awww...you are such a good mom !! xo I LOVE banana nut bread !! xo I bet yours is really delicious xo

Thanks Cm3! You're a sweetheart and such a good friend! It's my MIL's recipe, but it calls for apricots in it. Instead of doing that, I add an extra banana. DH likes my version a lot better - shhh...don't tells his mother! :lol:

I know what you mean.....I am not a doctor or skilled enough to be a nurse......But sometimes when I am typing a report (I type hospice and palliative care) it gets to me....I stop and sometimes touch the screen to pray for the patient and their family......xox

It's because you're such a wonderful person and you've got a great heart!

Hmm. It's acting fine for me. Just a little slow.

:???:Good to see you again CAH!

I dreamed about Ryan Reynolds

Oh.... I guess you liked it!

Special request tonight, please keep a friend of ours and her family in your thoughts and prayers. Both her parents drowned over the weekend trying to rescue their puppy. Her father had an aneurysm while swimming and her mother drowned trying to rescue him. I am so heartbroken for the whole family.

Im so sorry to hear this Xmas. It's terrible.
Sending thoughts and prayers for you all!

I think the server is doing some updates.

I just checked out the Radiotuna website and it turns out that there is a Merry Christmas Radio Station on there. So Jeff must be trying some stuff out.
