JP's Dr finally got back to us regarding his CAT Scan, everything in his brain is normal, all his sinuses were completely full and giving him the headaches, looks like it may be an allergy issue which caused a major sinus infection. We have to go back for a follow up appt to see what we will have to do about the possible allergies. Thank you for all the prayers.

That's good to hear!!! I hope they can get his allergies under control.

We met with my financial planner yesterday afternoon. I can retire!!! I will be bringing home more income retired than if I work! What??? Yep! I was really sweating the income part of retirement. Scary stuff! In California, if you teach after school or do any extracurricular supervision, a special fund called a DBA is set up. DBA is Defined Benefit Account. You get credit dollar for dollar earned. I had no clue, but all my extra teaching earned me close to $40,000!!! This is in addition to my regular retirement. I can take it as an annuity, or over three years, five years, or 10 years. If I take the annuity, that's an extra $300 a month, something that I had not counted on. For three years, I would get $1260 a month, and five years would be $813 a month. I am definitely going for the regular annuity. It is like Christmas all over again for me!!!

Good for you well derserved

Good evening, Christmas family !

MY BABY IS HOME !!!!!! I Am So GLAD To See Him !!!!

Wish got released from the hospital today. He seems to be feeling pretty good. The tech showed us how to infuse the IV fluids. My husband said we will do it together which is a big relief. After we got him in and settled, I went down the hall to the room where I work to get something. We have many gates in our house to keep the kids out of places we don't want them to be. Without thinking when I went down the hall I closed the gate. A few seconds later Wish was whining and crying because I left him !!! He has never done that before....My poor little man. I will never leave him again. I will leave the stupid gate open the next time !!

Just cross your fingers and a few prayers too that I will be able to infuse the fluids. I get squeamish around needles .....

Great to hear that cm3 your be fine after the a few times you be able to do it without thinking about it. are they going under the skin or into veins. they is different kinds just wondering

Well it all started about 2 years ago. Seawaters decided that she would give out prizes to the poster that posted every thousandth post. Like 1,000, 2,000, 3,000. Well most of us got things like a broken rubber band or a empty gum wrapper. Seawaters though, gave her self a Lear Jet when she hit one of the milestones. Then the next time it was a trip to Italy. The rest of us think that the contest was rigged and she gave her self the best gifts but she swears that it was all random and that's just how it worked out.

OK, I'll buy that.

I ordered one book with all of Capote's stories and one with The Thanksgiving Visitor, which I had never read before. I also ordered two versions of A Christmas Memory on DVD.

I think I won a million dollars one time, too. LOL!

(So no she doesn't actually own a jet. It's just an inside joke.)

"It's a Wonderful Life" is my personal favorite and the most meaningful of all Christmas movies for me. Enjoy!

Out of all movies, Christmas or not, It's a Wonderful Life, is #1 on my list! I love it!!! I have seen it so many times that I find myself reciting the lines word for word while it's on. =)

Murphman, you are always invited to come along when Seawaters fires up her jet to make her rounds picking everyone up!

As Bob Cratchit would say, "I was making rather Merry". I think that is what has happened to me. I have been making rather Merry since Thanksgiving and today it has hit me hard! I am really tired but it's a good tired, if that makes sense?! I just woke up from a nap and ready to go back to bed.

I think I am going to do just that, go lay down, read, watch some TV and then get some more sleep.

Goodnight my Christmas friends!

Happy New Year, Charlie Brown is on right now on ABC.

Seawaters · Dec 27, 2012

I drove over to visit with a friend of mine. LOTS of houses still have up their outdoor and indoor decorations. I could see many Christmas trees in the windows. Made me feel festive!
