Christmas Countdown - 2017

[made582]

I subbed a half day this am and now am worried about the stomach bug. The class I was in only has 12 kids because it's special needs class. Out of the 12 kids 2 were out for stomach bug and 3 came back today from having the bug

Prayers that you don't get sick!! I know a few people who have had to go through it recently.

Happy Friday Eve!! Just working today and my daughter has basketball practice tonight. I took all my ornaments off the tree last night but it is still glowing brightly, . I think tomorrow night I will take down my mantle but I may leave up my little Snowflake light since it is still winter.
Hope you all have a great day!!

Oh I miss the glow from my tree!! Enjoy it as long as you can!!

Good Thursday morning, Christmas friends!

The general manager and plant manager from our FL plant have come up for a visit today, so that'll be a good excuse to go out for Mexican at lunch! Honestly, it's hard to think about lunch right now. I'm completely full of coffee!

I didn't know it was supposed to rain today, but the weatherman says the temps will be cooler for at least several days after today, with lows in the 30's and highs in the mid-50's. Frigid temps for south Georgia!

I hope y'all have a great day!

Hope you enjoyed your Mexican and are staying warm!!

Good evening,

A very long day off today, the kittens had their appointment to be neutered today. So between dropping them off and picking them up I spent about 4 hours driving 2 round trips. The kittens are in good spirits tonight, maybe even a little stoned from the medication they were given because they are downright goofy.
Back to work in the morning, 3 more days until the first New England Black Wolves home game, we cannot wait to go.
I am heading to bed, my eyelids are getting heavy.

Goodnight, everyone

Lol!! Glad they are doing okay!!

LOL...I thought that one would get your head scratching Holiday...

Sure did!!!!

 

[Holiday]

Lol!!! I better get reading through that Facebook group!!!

Hope you are staying warm and dry too!!

HA! I just clicked off there - was checking out the recipes. I thought about throwing something in there for supper tonight but I think I'll stick with the Mexican Stuffed Shells! The lasagna or spaghetti sounds pretty interesting?!
It's not overly warm in the office today, but I'm not freezing. Sure feels cold in the wind outside though!
Have a good night!

 

[Holiday]

[Holiday]

I made green beans, potatoes, and ham in mine tonight and it came out pretty good.

I saw the spaghetti one and thought about trying it. Then when I used it tonight, I saw how long it takes to build pressure and then depressurize. I could just make the spaghetti quicker. Mine does have a delay function though. So for days I'm going to be gone, I might throw it in and just have it finishing about the time I'm getting home.

Happy Rudolph Day!! Last night, we got some sad news from our friends. His father died from Alzheimer's, he has been battling it over 10 years and has been in hospice for the last 3 years so I guess you can consider it a blessing. Such a terrible disease. We are going to go to the service on Friday morning.
Just work for me today and my daughter has dance tonight. The weather is supposed to be pretty mild and then colder this weekend.
Hope you all have a great day!

Oh, I am so sorry your friend's father died. Sending up a prayer for him and his family.
I hope you have a merry rest-of-the-week!

I was in a similar situation this season, Sheila. Although no where near as bad as cancer. I had to make the toughest decision I've ever had to make in my 43 years of life. I admitted my daughter into the hospital for attempted suicide. Granted it was a call for attention, but still hard to do. This was right before Thanksgiving and needless to say, I didn't eat for 3 days, I was so upset. I was in an all time low and everyone around me knew something was up because I wasn't in my normal Christmas mood. My wife, bless her heart, did all she could to get me to come around and eventually I did. I got better when my daughter came home, although still not completely back to my normal Christmas self. Then my brother, who lives in TN, did something that really upset me. I had started a tradition with my mother, who passed away a year and a half ago, in that I would get her at least 1 Christmas village house every year for Christmas, sometimes more. Well, when she died, I told my brother that he could have her cribbage board (which we would "fight" over when she was alive as to who would get it, it was all in fun) because I had other things that meant a lot to me, being her Christmas things, especially the village, which I got her about 80% of the village. I had taken what I had room for (the pieces that started it all, which is the main pieces I really wanted.) Well, on FB one day I see he had posted pictures of the village pieces, some I hadn't had room for but still would have liked. He didn't talk to me at all about taking them when he was up for my and my niece's weddings. So that put me in a downward spiral again. Yet again, God bless my wife, she did her best to cheer me up. She talked with my sister and between those two and the children, we stared increasing the village we have.

It sounds like you are blessed, like I am, with a spouse and at least one family member that love you so much that they delve into the Christmas Craziness we live in every day to cheer you up and bring at least a little of our Christmas normalcy back to us.

I also have to state that MMC and working on my hours for Tracking Santa also helped me not spiral down into the dark hole that was threatening to help me. I thank the Lord every day for this community and everyone in it. This is a very special community and I am thankful and humbled to be a part of it. I just hope I can give back as much as everyone here has given me.

Stay strong, Sheila, you've got this beat! I believe it with every fiber of my being.

Sean, I pray that this year there will bring you much joy, peace, and love! As MC posted, "you have one strong spirit".

Thank you Holiday and Made. It's my worst fear, especially with having a toddler. Hope you both are well!

Good evening,

The kittens are doing well tonight, very sleepy and very affectionate. The meds they were on finally wore off, and they have crashed all evening.
Slow moving day at work. Tomorrow is probably more of the same.
It is amazing how fast our Disney trip is coming, 3 weeks and a day, starting to get really excited.

Goodnight, everyone
