Christmas Countdown - 2013

[shellie12]

Good morning MMC.
I haven't been feeling well the past couple of days. My headaches/migraines have been just awful. And to top it off the kids have been sick. I had two of them at the doctor yesterday, the other is going today.
I got a call last night from the mother of the little girl I was going to start watching today. Her grandmother has volunteered to put her on the bus on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, so they will not be needing me. The mother promised me that if anything changes I will be the first one she calls. To be honest with you, I am almost relieved because I haven't been feeling well lately. Some days I barely have the energy to get through the day and take care of my own family.
I will be heading out soon, the dogs have a groomer appointment in a little while. I have a few errands to run while Molly and Maggie are at the groomer, including a trip to the supermarket. Then back home for chores. I also need to start a big pot of chicken soup for dinner.
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Hope you get that pain sorted soon. you cant even get a chance to lie down a while. and yes maybe where the wee girl is concerned you dont need it just right now. chicken soup yummmmmy

Good Morning MMC!!!! It's going to be another beautiful day here with a high in mid 70's. Pretty excited here today. My brother from another mother is going to become a dad!!! My sister from another mother is starting a new job that I know she is going to be great at and NCIS is back tonight!!!! I'm going to try and contain my excitement though and do some work around the apartment and maybe make a couple of apple pies. I'm also going to work on some preliminary song lists for the shows I volunteered to do on Kringle radio. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S.- You guys have been busy overnight and this morning!!!

lol Was starting to get confused there lol but got my head round it. yip calm down and get that list sorted

AND there's this rumor.
(An unsubstantiated rumor, mind you.)
That a certain seasonal thread will be making its annual debut very soon.
Tomorrow?
The next day?
Who knows?
(Well Carl and I do but.........)

Good morning,

I am feeling a little better this morning, but I will be taking it easy. I will put off all my yardwork probably until Sunday. LC gave me a hard time about going to school this morning, they had to get the vice principal to walk him to his class after I dropped him off. Just going to watch some TV, maybe pop in something Christmassy.

Have a great day!!!

Elizabeth really didn't like her first grade teacher, and used to cry and hold onto my leg for dear life. It's hard to leave them behind when they're so upset, huh?

I have bookedmarked the leaf-cam and seeing all the changes people are getting with the fall leaves is impressive. We obviously do not see that here where I live. When Wayne and I traveled up north a couple of years ago to his hometown in Maryland it was in mid October. I was "ooo'ing and ahh'ing" at the fall leaves from the tall trees all through this path that lead to our cabin in the woods. Wayne didn't realize how impressive it really was since he is from there and was freaking out on my child like "kid in a toy store" amazement! It gave him a giddy giggle. Ha ha! I can see photos and videos all day long but it's nothing like actually being there seeing it! Still pretty to see those photos and videos, keep them coming!

I have done a lot of traveling in the northern states but it was my first time to go there during the fall. I am ready to go back and see it again! Well, I did go up north during the fall once as a child but I guess I was not paying attention to the changing of the leaves. I don't remember that part.

It is beautiful., I love going through the woods for a walk when the leaves have changed. The color, the crunching leaves under foot, so nice and relaxing and peaceful.

oh dear, you folks have a lot of problems with illness at your place, how do you deal with it so gracefully? I get a sore knee and feel sorry for myself and start whining. I do hope you are feeling better soon. Maybe you should have the air quality in your home checked, you made need some kind of special filtration system. Be careful and get the rest you need!

Hope everyone is getting through your day alright..especially those of us at work.lol folks at home today are so lucky!

It is an exciting day! I am staying here until I hear the news!
Glad to hear you are doing some shows for Kringle radio, I considered it, but to much of a chicken, I have trouble just calling in at Christmas with my greeting!

When my first was born, I remember everything going on in the room, and I must have gotten really pale and nearly passed out and the nurses and Dr were paying attention to me instead of my wife having the baby. The nerves and emotions were unreal.

It was an amazing thing to witness, and we joke about that now.

that is normal! I remember lots of shouting push push push, sounded like a cheer leading squad! Wonderful memories for sure.

Oh for sure! I think they show you those videos in birthing class too prepare the dads for something that can be somewhat traumatizing if you are not ready or are queezy about things. But still you have to go through it to really understand and now I do. I remember crying so hard after it was all over,I think I was more teary than her! looking back it still chokes me up!

Good morning!!! It was another chilly morning in Ohio! 42º for our morning walk! And it was awesome!!!
Not much going on at the office today! My boss is being whiney! Happy Happy Joy Joy! :lol: It was so nice when he was off yesterday! HA!! (no, my boss is a good guy, but you know it's always nice when the boss is away...)
Hope you are all having a great day & enjoying some fall'ish weather! It's supposed to warm up a little bit more as the week goes on!

Here's a pic from my walk in the woods last night:


I just love the leaves accross the path!

Have a great day!!

love the picture, you will have to post another when the leaves have changed color.

Here are pics of my very limited Fall decs at the lake. Too bad I didn't get the pumpkin in any of the pics. Ah well!:

I like it, looks very elegant! Where did you get them?

as long as I do not walk it is fine! The brace is so uncomfortable, it rubs on the inside of my knee and makes it feel worse so I just leave it off now and just walk carefully. Getting a cane this afternoon which I was told was my other option. Will see how well that works.
