Christmas Countdown - 2013

[Seawaters]

Now I only have to get rid of this headache. Mmmm, would wine do the trick?

Hope that you'll feel much better after a good night's rest. ((Hugs))

Festive Spirit, this post really lifted my spirits. I have been where you are, LOL!!!

Week 4 of school holidays and I no longer call my children by their right names........I no longer know my own name. I have Lego brick indentations permanently scarred into the soles of my feet and my hair has developed a static electric force that would rival Don King. I know the dialougue to various kids films by heart and I've developed a sore back/kneecap/shoulder from indulging in various forms of sport and role play.

This morning, coming down the stairs I could actually hear my knees make a creaking click clacking sound but that was overtaken by the sight of my living room room which I am sure has become a habitat for wild animals..........

From reading this morning's posts, it sounds as if the party at the 'Pines last night was even wilder than ususal!

Did Carl come up with any new coffee blends?
Did anyone other than Binger get to try any?

Oh I tried it...and can't recall what happened after that!

 

[made582]

Thanks, Made. Only a headache today!

That's good. Hope it goes away soon!!!

Wow you guys have been busy this morning.

We had to clear out of system, about that crazy Camel from last night.

 

[Seawaters]

Thanks, Coach. Have fun at school. I always did!!!

Good morning! Hope yall have a great Thursday!

 

[Seawaters]

Hilarious, Star!!!

Carl entered with bucket of glitter shouting....

then this is all we saw..

I am still picking glitter out of my hair!

Now I only have to get rid of this headache. Mmmm, would wine do the trick?

It would me! Hope you feel better soon!

 

[Seawaters]

Right now, only a headache. But coffee and food will take care of that I hope! How is your day, Star? Any baking plans?

Seawater, have your recovered from last night? Hope you are feeling better this morning.

The weird thing about Super Nanny (or maybe not, LOL) is that both the parents and kids were awful!!!

typical response to being locked up with your kids for too long, we as moms have all suffered from this malady and know it well.
what you have to do now is...

 

[Seawaters]

I will confess to the idea and supplying the Post-It notes. I just had too many leftover from teaching and I had an idle mind! You know what that means, LOL! I was not alone in this, though!

also was curious as to whose car Carl decorated last night...

 

[Seawaters]

I hear you on the temps, CAH. It's 80 here in the shade. UGH! Have a great day with the grandkids!

Good Morning! We are still staying right below the 100 degree mark. The high will be 97 today. That's a "little" better than what it was but I was enjoying the temps right at 90 even better when it drops a whole lot more. It's barely 7:00 am and already almost 80 degrees.

Kids will be here shortly so I better get busy and get some things done around here.

I hope you all have a Merry Day!!!

 

[Seawaters]

I hope you do get to meet for lunch! How fun! Have a great day, yourself, Snowflake!

Good morning, friends!!

How are you this morning?

My family is on their way home from up north, so we may be able to meet for lunch! I would love that!!

One day away from the beginning of the weekend...

Hope you all have a beautiful & blessed day!!

This sounds divine, Dawg! You are so lucky!

Good morning friends! As I am about to leave to go to work I am really beginning to like my short drive to and from work in a few weeks. The leaves will begin changing! I can't tell you all how happy I am to have a real fall/winter coming up! my friends I have met up here tell me most or some Halloweens already have snowcover on the ground. From late Nov to march or April snow will be on the ground so I better get use to it! I hope everyone has a great Thursday! Talk to yall soon!

I'll have to look into it , too.
I have all of his Christmas music but it's digitally converted LP's or cassette tapes. Turned out well, though.

Wish I had more time and energy and drive space to convert our LPs and cassettes! I've done a handful, but I doubt they'll ever all be digitized. Happily, we have a couple of turntables and cassette players, so I can play them, but not in the car or on the go.

Have your son apply for an Elks scholarship! They normally give out some good ones. The national winners get $60,000 each!!!

I hope your mom feels okay to go to Myrtle Beach. I loved going there as a kid and teenager.

Praying for both of your parents (N and G).

Good Thursday morning all. Sorry I haven't been around much. We are busy here. Fall semester has begun at the community college where I work. Our son starts his senior year of high school on Monday, 8/26. We are busy looking at colleges for him and applying for scholarships. (How I wish I could make him 5 years younger.) Most weekends we make the 3 hour drive down to check on my ailing parents. Neither one is doing well. Mom is still determined to go to Myrtle Beach on Labor Day weekend to see the ocean one more time. Hope we can make it happen.

An article in our local newspaper stated that the mountains of western North Carolina were second to Hilo, Hawaii in rainfall for the year in the US. We have already far exceeded our normal rainfall amount for the entire year. I certainly like the cooler temps but the rain has gotten old. Just 5 years ago, our well went dry during a drought. Now we have more rain than we can handle causing several land slides. It is suppose to be a nice weekend with only a slight chance of rain and highs in upper 70s and lows in mid 50s. We hope to be able to stay home and enjoy it.

Have a blessed day.

With all that running around you do, you sound as busy as HMG and Sugar! Maybe that's why you think it's Friday!

Have fun at the water park! Hope the temps will be high for that.

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

I keep thinking (wishing?) it's Friday. I gotta get over that.

We did all of our running around yesterday, getting Jacob to guitar practice and Elizabeth to ballet practice. When we finally got home, they up till 11pm doing homework. Yippee, schools back in. :-?

It's hot & humid down here, so humid you can feel the moisture in the air. Yuck! But we go back to the water park tomorrow evening, so that should be fun.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

 

[Seawaters]

I hope you can slow down and rest a little, too!

Hello MMC!
I hope everyone is doing well!
I have been super busy. I feel like everytime I log on here, I have to log right back off to do something. We have been doing some back to school shopping here and there. We have also been scheduling some doctor and dentist appointments. My youngest took her senior portraits a few days ago. I have also been working on financial aid applications for my two oldest. I am having some problems with that, and I am getting frustrated. And to top it off we are still having internet problems, we keep losing the connection. It also affects my phone. I could be in the middle of a conversation and then I lose the call. I have another technician coming to the house today to see if he could figure it out.
Other than that we are well. I am just completely sleep deprived and exhausted. I am looking forward to the start of the school year. I am looking forward to the girls being in early on school nights and me being able to get some sleep!
I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Like the dad in Christmas Story says, "He knows, oh, he knows!"

It's gettin' creepy now...It's almost like Binger is looking in my windows...How in the world does he/she know I'm wearing that???

Scary...:hello:
