Happy October 1st everyone!!!

This morning I am coming down with a bad cold and I have a terrible headache. I need to start taking zinc to see if I can get rid of this cold. Let's hope the ibuprofen kicks in for now!

Have a good Monday!

I wish there was something more that could be done! No kid should have to suffer that way!

My sister's surgery is at 1pm.

My niece had been doing good up until this last week. She went in for an infusion last Monday and they always do blood work at the same time. Well the blood work showed decreased liver function. So they had to take her off of her anti inflammatory pills and cut way back on her methotrexate. So now she is really starting to hurt again.

Your sister is lucky to have family nearby to help out in times like these. She is expecially lucky to have you!

Good Morning MMC!!!! We are off to a cool start here in central Indy where we currently stand at 50 degree's on our way to a high of 64. I have to go pick up my youngest niece from preschool in about an hour. My sister and brother in law dropped her off on the way to the hospital. It looks like I may get out of a lot of the babysitting this week. My aunt still has 3 weeks of vacation to use up so I think she is going to take the rest of the week off to help out. Which works out since she only lives 2 blocks away from my sister. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!

As I worked on getting together Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas packets for the students, I rememberd that it would soon be Thanksgiving in Canada. I remember "watching" you guys celebrate and celebrated in my heart right along with you. I might even celebrate a little more this year with a small turkey dinner! Celebrating Thanksgiving twice is really twice as nice! Sounds yummy to me!

Good morning everyone!

Happy October! At least a new month is some consolation to starting a new work week, isn't it? October (and Halloween) seems to be the only thing standing in the way of us and the Christmas Season. It's so close! Less than two weeks until exactly a month away from the Season, in fact.

It feels good to start a new week. We had an enjoyable games night on Friday and then visited Kim's friends on Saturday night. We hadn't seen them in a while. Yesterday, I was actually able to (fully) practice for the first time since the end of July. Two whole months! I still have a ways to go, however. I wasn't able to move like my normal self, but that will come with time. It should be a fun coupe weeks - having to re-gain my cardio, speed and lose a few extra pounds that I've put on over the time. I have three weeks to improve (before my next tournament), we'll see how well I can return to form!

The weather in Ottawa isn't bad. 14c and should reach about 20c today. Great for the first day of October! It is going to be one major difference from the first day of November, that's for sure! In regards to this week, we're supposed to be in the lower 20s (upper 60s) for much of the week. Not bad. A great way to head into Canadian Thanksgiving weekend!

Well, I'm off to search for a Christmas Countdown decoration. Kim and I have searched and can't find anything for our liking. I may have to check ebay, I guess. Send me a message if you know of any good ones!

Have a great Monday, everyone! This work week brings us one week closer to the homestretch!

Great question, Xmastidings!

Nice! How soon do you think you can up load them so we can take a peek at mother nature in the middle of the night?

This may have been posted already...but did you see this video about the boy with cancer & how Christmas is helping him fight cancer:

He's so sweet!!!

:sparkle:

With my 2 niece's here and my sister in seattle calling every 5 minutes, I can't get anything done. So I give up. I think we are just going to kick back and Santa Claus the movie.

Good Morning MMC!!!!! It's going to be a nice day here with a high in the mid 60's. The forecast for the rest of the week is all over the place. Some channels are saying that we may hit 80 degree's on thursday and some have that dreaded "S" word in the forecast next weekend. Crazy. At least it won't be as hot as it was last year for our town's big fall festival. In fact, we may have to wear winter coats. The Colts have a bye this week, so most of my day will be spent on racing. Then maybe some football tonight. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously?? The "S" word??? I was just telling my co-worker this morning that there is rain predicted for Saturday with a low of 37º...that "rain" COULD possibly be in the for of "SNOW" :

They were talking flurries Saturday, Sunday, and Monday mornings. I haven't watched the local news for a couple of days. So I'll have to tune in tonight to see if they are still saying that.

Well my sister is out of surgery and in recovery. The doctor said that everything went smoothly. She has to spend the night since they did it so late in the day but she should be released tomorrow morning.

Hi all, good to 'see' you again :-D

Back for another season. Wow, seems like we were just wishing each other a Merry Christmas last Dec 25th.

Posting on here will increase as October moves forward. While Christmas music does not begin in our house until Nov 1, still it is Oct 1 that feels like a real separation point from the summer season to the holiday season.

Can't wait!

Glad to hear that everything went smoothly! I will continue to pray for her that she has a speedy recovery :]

Why do I have to be sick? I woke up yesterday feeling perfectly fine and now suddenly today I have an awful cold. My stomach is bothering me and cramping on top of my cold so I am not feeling so great. I keep getting hot and then I'll be freezing minutes later. This is no fun :[ Time to go lay down on the couch because my eyes are watering like crazy and I am drained!

Praying for you all and your families - have a good evening.
