Christmas Countdown - 2014

[HomemakinGirl]

Good morning!
It is going to be cloudy today with a chance of showers, temperatures in the upper 60's.
Typical day for me, I will be working on my daily chores. I already started a couple of loads of laundry and I'll straighten up the rest of the house as soon as everyone wakes up. I also plan on taking a ride to the mall today. I need a couple of birthday presents, graduation gifts and I still didn't finish my Father's Day shopping. So I'll be busy with that over the next day or two. Hopefully I'll be able to get some down time at some point, I'm awfully tired today!
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Some of you may know that Paul McCartney came down with a virus in Japan before he was just about to start his tour. He had to cancel the whole tour there and in Korea. He was suppose to start his USA tour this Saturday and we have tickets for his concert Monday. He has now had to postpone the first part of his tour until he is completely well so his concert here is now scheduled for October. I was really looking forward to the concert next week but his health is way more important! I just want him well! We will see him in October!

Uggghhhh It's pouring outside right now, I feel like a wet sponge, walking to the office; I need a serious cup of coffee this morning~

Nothing like a serious cup of coffee!!!

I hope you dry off soon!

Ahhhhhh, Ok, I'm better now! Nothing like a hot cup of coffee, first thing in the morning to help get the blood a flowing to the brain....

Good Morning my wonderful MMC family! I took a vacation day yesterday and spent the whole day, up to 9pm, working in the attic, building a storage platform up there and a storage loft as well. Let me tell you, I was soaked with sweat all day long because it must have been about 100 degrees up there (well that's what it felt like). I got it all done and even started moving things out of rooms to store up there.

I was so tired, most likely over-tired, because I could not go to sleep when I laid down in bed (after I showered of course). I was jacked up till about midnight last night, so when the alarm clock went off this morning at 4:45, I felt like I needed a bobcat to pull my dead butt out from underneath the covers....

I'm doing the roller coaster thing at work, fro 6 months we have been slammed, working all this overtime and such, and now I am sitting here twirling my thumbs, looking for something to do. Hmmmmm, maybe a half-day today???? I'll see how I feel as the day progresses.....

Hope everyone is off to a good start today, me, I'm off to get a re-fill on my coffee~:smile:

 

[xmastidings]

Well, at 1:00 today, my son's flight is supposed to arrive in Baltimore at BWI airport. He's been at Sheppard Air Force Base, for just about 3 months now, so, needless to say, I cannot wait to see him later this afternoon; I've missed him.

Lisa is preparing a really nice home cooked dinner for him tonight, I got his car all prepped and ready for his return and his bedroom is spotless. He will be stationed in Baltimore County on active duty for another 3 more months and then he should be switched back to an Air National Guard status (weekend warrior).

Good Morning Christmas Friends!!!

I have my 3 grandchildren for the summer and we are already having fun. The weather is unusually mild, which I love!!! Since it has been nice my mom and I took the kids to the Arboretum Monday and took a picnic lunch with us then to McDonald's so the kids could get some ice cream and play.

Yesterday we stayed around the house. I have the kids enrolled in a summer reading program at the library and they can win prizes logging in the hours they read each week. We read some books and played on the old Nintendo 64. We had a Mario Kart competition. My oldest grandson beat us all!!!

The local library have a lot of events for the summer that we plan to get involved in. We are also going to take advantage of as much outdoor activities while the weather is nice.

I hope you are all doing well!

Good Morning, CAH!!

Sounds like some fabulous time with your grandkids!
A lot of the patients at my office have been talking about the library programs for the kids here, too. Say they are amazing & very interactive! It's wonderful that your grandkids are loving them there, too. Making memories!! I remember my Mom taking me to summer reading at ours back home =]

Enjoy the mild weather!!

(((Hugs)))

Bummer about the concert.

Well, at 1:00 today, my son's flight is supposed to arrive in Baltimore at BWI airport. He's been at Sheppard Air Force Base, for just about 3 months now, so, needless to say, I cannot wait to see him later this afternoon; I've missed him.

Lisa is preparing a really nice home cooked dinner for him tonight, I got his car all prepped and ready for his return and his bedroom is spotless. He will be stationed in Baltimore County on active duty for another 3 more months and then he should be switched back to an Air National Guard status (weekend warrior).

So excited for you guys!!
What a nice welcome home you guys have planned!! Relish every moment!!

Thanks Snowflake!
My daughter is still in pain but she just ate some pancakes for breakfast which is a good sign. She could barely get anything down yesterday. I'm hoping the medicine will kick in soon so she can get some relief. Thank you for asking!
