Hey, MMC! I missed you guys. I feel like it's been a while although it's only been a couple of days. The meteorologists were calling for an inch today and we ended up with five or six. What a nice Rudolph Day

How have you all been? I have been thinking of you all!

We got your inch of snow and you got ours.

Oh, how sad. I would just cry all the time. But at the same time, I would laugh at Palmer! Those babies sound just precious. You and they are lucky to have each other!

Mouse was born with only three full legs. Her fourth leg is only half there and the knee joint is backward and the bone sticks out. Whenever it is cold, she hurts, bad! She doesn't complain, just looks miserable. Her favorite place to be when it is cold is in front of the heat register. Poor baby was miserable when we were without power. As to Palmer, her time-out spot is her carrier. It is a big one, room for her bed and then some. Whenever she goes after Mouse and is rough, I tell her she is going in a time-out and she gets put in there until she calms down.

Can you imagine the noise and the mess if you received all the birds that are mentioned in The Twelve Days of Christmas? That would have been 184 birds during the 12 days!!! (That was another worksheet the students did on Rudolph Day!!!)

Remind me to send you an MP3 on that very topic! I won't post it here because it's got some raw language in it.

Well, I like popcorn, so you could nuke that, CM3!

I think I may have read something similar. In fact, I normally include it in the worksheets, but somehow lost it. In my version, it is a series of letters from the recipient of the gifts and her boyfriend. So funny. Needless to say, in the one I read, there is not raw language, LOL!

Today is my mom's 82nd birthday!!!!
Going out for lunch and some shopping.

Was going to catch up here but have to leave soon so will do it later.

Do not try to call me, turned off my phone so work cannot call me in again!

Have a great first Rudolf day of 2013!
Found these and thought they were perfect for today's festivities...

A very Happy Birthday to your mom!

Thinking of you and Wish ... It's good to hear that Wish's quality of life is good, even if the numbers are saying otherwise. I hope that continues.

Me, too!

Hey everyone! How are you all? I am well. So glad I am able to finally stop by and get caught up here a little bit.

Yesterday was my day off, so I don't go back to work until tonight at 11. DH is at work today, then he is working overtime tonight. The kids are at daycare and preschool, so it's just me here.

What's new and exciting? Nothing really new going on here. I've just been very busy, so like I said, nothing new! My kids are growing like weeds and I am loving them up every second. I have been doing some shopping for Valentine's Day and Easter for them already. Some of you may be laughing at me, but my kids still deserve something for these holidays well - in my eyes I think they do.

We're going to get more snow here today. It has been snow flurring on and off for the past 2 hours or so, but it is supposed to pick up here soon. We're supposed to get anywhere from 2-4 to 3-6 inches today to tonight. Oh boy!

Well, I am off to read some of the Countdown and make some lunch. I think I am going to do a grilled ham and cheese and chicken noodle soup.

Hope you're all enjoying your day and all doing well. I miss you all greatly. Praying for any of you who need my prayers and thinking about you all! God Bless and keep smiling! :yahoo:

Hi, Sugar ~ I hope you have a good night at work! God Bless you and yours, too!

** OFFICIAL THREAD - CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN 2013 **

And here's one thing you CERTAINLY don't want to miss!
Many of us gather here on the evening of November 12 for our annual hour by hour, then minute by minute countdown to the start of the Season at midnight Eastern Time. It's something we really look forward to and is truly great fun!

Hi, Jennifer! Yay! Snow for Rudolph Day. I hope your classes are going well!

It is a blast, MerryNoel. You will love it! You can read past years' comments even though those countdowns have closed.

Our big snow event, all we got out of all the hype, was an inch...and that's it. I'm bummed! :sad: Old man winter must of ran out of gas as he crossed over the mountains.... At least it covered the ground just a little bit....

I cry sometimes, too ~ I hate that there are days she is in so much pain. Palmer is a hoot. When she is playing and stalking something, usually a paper ball, I hear the theme from Mission Impossible ~ her moves fit that music perfectly. I agree, I am lucky to have them!

Good evening, MMC!

I hope everyone is staying warm. It is still quite cold here, but by Monday it is supposed to be in the 40s. Unfortunately the forecast also calls for ice ~ ick!!!
Finally got around to asking the techs at the store where I bought my computer why I was having so much trouble with modems ~ it was suggested I call the phone company. That makes sense as the modem I bought worked on my computer at my cousin's house ~ they have Charter for their phone company. If that is the problem here, I'm not sure there will be a way to fix things. I really don't think they will change the wires just because I am having a problem. Oh, well ~ I'm sure I will figure something else out, it will just take time.

Have a MERRY evening!
