Christmas Countdown - 2013

It sounds like a great morning there! Be careful going out tonight since you are supposed to get snow! It sounds like you have a really fun day planned. Enjoy the movie with EA and dinner! Don't work too hard the next couple of days. You are always so positive - I hope you have a wonderful time enjoying the holidays with your family!

Thanks, Jennifer! I will be - I have AWD, although I know that doesn't always matter and I know I have to watch for everyone else too.

We will have a great evening - we always do. Beside my DH, my kids are my best friends. I love spending time with them and enjoy every minute I have with them.

As for the stay positive part, thanks! I try, I feel that's the only way to be, and I might as well be. I am truly so blessed and I have so much to be thankful for. Have a great day, Jennifer and have a wonderful time with your family over the holidays as well!

Update on my mom. Good news: Her ovarian cancer sonogram came back normal and good. Her blood work also came back normal. The bad news: That led the doctors to be clueless and wonder if she has a serious infection going on somewhere. The other good news: As of this morning, her urine sample came back and led them to believe that she may have kidney stones. This sounds possible because she had them a few months ago. So, today she has to run for some tests and that includes one to check for the stones. Kidney stones could be good or bad. If they are small enough to pass then she should feel better for Christmas. If they are big and need to be removed surgically, that likely wouldn't be taken care of until after Christmas and she would feel no better in the meantime.

So now we just have to hope that there is no infection elsewhere and that if she has kidney stones that they are small.

Thank you for your prayers! We appreciate them!

Praying that the stones are small if that's what it is.

Good morning, everyone! How are you all doing? I am well! I am just enjoying sitting by the fire and watching the snow fall. We got a couple of inches last night and we're supposed to get more snow today. We're supposed to get a total for 3-6 inches by tonight.

What are you all up today? I am relaxing right now, watching some Christmas movies and going to finish up my family Christmas cards and going to mail all my cards today. Then later this afternoon, I'm going to take EA to see the new movie, Frozen. It looks really cute. We're then going to go out to dinner. I have to pick up a couple of teacher gifts while I'm at the mall as well.

I'll be heading back to work tonight, work tomorrow night, then I'll be off again. It will be nice to home with DH and the kids for the holidays!

Hope you all have a wonderful day! I will be checking in and out as the day goes on! God Bless and keep smiling!

Stay safe out there, friend and I hope you and EA have a great time this evening!!!

I pray she will be pain-free for Christmas. It is hard to enjoy something when you do not feel well.

I love this weather, too! I just don't like when everyone gets crazy on the roads. We will enjoy the day, thanks.

Hope you're doing well, Seawaters!

We are so busy with the house! We aren't putting up a tree or decorations, so I just cannot get into the Christmas Spirit. Hubby already has his Christmas gift from me--an automatic screw putter-inner! Can't think of the technical name right now. That was what he wanted so he can use it before Christmas. I still have to get him something so he will have at least one surprise! Made, I would like some of your fudge. We aren't even making cookies, since we have no oven or stove! If the architect had not taken so long, we would probably have a LOT of the work done by now. But, NOOOO!

We went out for Chinese last night to celebrate Hubby's birthday. That food was so delicious that we will definitely go back, even with the 25-plus miles roundtrip.

Xmas, I am thinking of you and pray a calming spirit for your family. Grandparents are so special, and it is hard to see them having to go through illness, especially as they get into their 90s! You are so lucky to have had her for this long. I envy you that.

For some reason, my computer is running slowly. I sure hope nothing is wrong. I am keeping the site open and will try to check in later.

But we NEED Seawaters to have the Christmas spirit!

Road trip everyone...we need to head out to California and help her find the seasonal cheer!

Slightly crazy day---had to get up 45 minutes earlier for an early dental appointment. It was 4 degrees F, and my windshield washer line was frozen up. Not good, because there's snow in the forecast. So after the dentist I went to the car dealership so they could drain the washer fluid and put in some super winter mix that they have. Got to work nearly 3 hours late, the snow had already started. Shortly after I got there we got an email saying we should go home and work from home when we could, so I brushed off the car and headed back home. I'm here keeping an eye on the email for jobs and keeping an eye on the snow. I have to keep the driveway open so Mr. can get in when he gets home.

At least you are at home...hope Mr. Doesn't have any problems getting home tonight.

Good morning friends. The last of the presents were wrapped last night and are safely under the tree. The kids tried to peek at them as soon as they woke up this morning but backed off when they realized the gifts were being guarded by a Peppermint Patty (our elf on the shelf).

Tonight is my so 'so Christmas program at school and I'm excited to see him sing. He's bee n working hard! Hope you all enjoy your day and the last week before Christmas Eve!

Love that Peppermint Patty is guarding the gifts!!

Have fun at your son's Christmas program!!

We are back from the hospital after having all of the testing. My mom already received the results of her kidney and bladder sonograms - all is good. They said small stones and gravel likely would not have shown up. If a stone showed then it would have been big and surgery would have been needed to remove it.

My mom is just going to keep drinking a lot of water and hopefully if there's a small stone it'll pass! I want to avoid doctors and hospitals - don't need to get sick before Christmas!

Glad you made it home safe and Praying Mr does safely.
