Christmas Countdown - 2018

[Martine]

Good morning MMC! Merry Monday?!?!

I hope all you mama's had a wonderful Mothers Day yesterday! It was a beautiful day here. We had pizza at Moms, then visited with my in-laws. Didn't get home til almost 10:00 last night but it was all good!

We had a nice weekend at the lake. Saturday was CHILLY but we still had fun! We were able to sit outside for awhile but then it just cooled off too much!! The Mexican food was delish - as always!

Today a new Amish lady is coming along to Moms house to see if this job is something she would be interested in. She is 60 years old, she's widowed & would stay Monday through Saturday & sometimes the whole weekend if it's not a church weekend. Keep your fingers crossed this will work out. That would be amazing!!!!!

Everyone, have a magnificent Monday!!!

Sounds like a wonderful weekend Holiday. Hope the new caretaker is a keeper.

Merry Monday...back to the grind and today is my youngest daughter's birthday..she turns 12. I always say my kids love holidays...my oldest was born on Christmas and my youngest on Mother's Day!! It is pretty cloudy here now but it is supposed to warm up. My youngest daughter has a softball game tonight and I am bringing cupcakes for all the girls. Hope you all have a great day!

Happy Birthday to your youngest daughter!

Welcome to the Countdown!

Good evening, everyone!

Just checking in to say that I miss you all. Christmas (and you guys) are always in my heart. I am super busy driving about an hour and 10 minutes each way to teach and then planning, coaching, etc. on top of that. It's been crazy!

Can't wait for this school year to be over in about five weeks and then onward to summer school!

Good to see you, Brent!

@JessicaLouise, I hope you have a merry week!

Merry Monday!

Morning MMC! I look forward to Crown's post today more than usual. It was an interesting Monday and hopefully it will be a decent Tuesday. Woke up a little tired this morning but shook it off pretty quickly. I hope this summer doesn't turn out to have rainy weekends. It looks like we might have our 2nd in a row coming up. Hope that forecast changes. Have a great day!

 

[Martine]

Good Tuesday morning! After 3 glorious Summer-like days, rain is in the forecast today. I'm working the afternoon/evening shift so I'll be getting some laundry and chores done this morning. I'll also order a cake for one of our coordinators transferring to another store. Her last day is Friday and we want to celebrate her 11 years with us. And as I feared, my boss told me that he is now on sick leave. Our District manager will tell the other managers today. If you can spare a thought for him, it would be greatly appreciated. He will need all the strength he can get to find his way back.

Hope everyone will enjoy a great day!

********** MILESTONE DAY **********


Good Morning, Half-Way Friends.
No, I don't mean it that way.
Rather the reference is to being HALF WAY TO CHRISTMAS SEASON 2018!!
Wow, Guys!

Days to the Season: 182
Days to Christmas Day: 224

Doesn't it seem like we got to the half way point so soon this year?
Time is just racing by. And as an older MMC'er, I can tell you the passing of a year always seems to accelerate as you age. Of course, the older you get, the smaller a percentage of your life a year is. A year to a 5-year-old represents 20 percent of his entire life, while to a 50-year-old, it is only 2 percent.

We hit 93 degrees again here yesterday, and the humidity just keeps rising.
Won't be long before we are in true summer conditions, if we aren't there already.
Today is supposed to be a bit cooler and it could come with some precipitation.
Our current temperature reading is 73 degrees here in the capital city.

Have a Terrific Tuesday, Everyone!

** TRAVEL ALERT **

The second of three planned pre-rental season trips to the cottage is set for tomorrow. I will be able to do the count before I leave but a volunteer will be needed for Thursday moring and possibly Friday.
Anyone interested?

My thanks in advance!

Merry Milestone Day!! Can you believe we are at the halfway point?? I think I may watch a Christmas show to celebrate. Looks like it is going to be a cloudy day and we may get some storms this afternoon. Hope you all have a great day!

I woke up this morning, got up and I felt like I was hung-over from the night before. Which, is impossible, since I don’t drink alcohol. I had a headache, felt like I didn’t get any real deep sleep and didn’t feel like myself overall. I pushed thru it, went to work, thinking like everything else, this too will pass.

But, by the time I got to the office (a little over an hour), I was feeling worse. It got to the point to where, I just couldn’t think and function like anywhere near where I normally would, so I left and went home.

On my way home, it dawned on me that last night, we had Chinese food for dinner. The last couple of times I had it before, a different places, all gave me a terrible headache and I didn’t feel right for days.

I did some research on this and I’m wondering now, if the MSG’s in the food is causing me to feel this way.

Has anyone else had any problems with MSG’s?

I read these things online about that there used to be a saying called “Chinese Food Syndrome”, I’m not joking either, it’s true, and it’s based on the MSG’s in the food.

I have heard of it before and people having reactions to MSG. Hope you are feeling better.

Bless his heart, I know that stress can cause serious physical ailments, too. Sending prayers for your boss, and for you, my friend.

Thanks, Crown! I know we shoot for November 13 as the start of the season, but I can't help but get in the spirit as soon as the 'Bers start LOL!

MERRY MILESTONE DAY!!!!!!! Half way back to the season? Really?? How in the heck did that happen??? I don't know, but it's a reason to celebrate!!!

And a good morning to all! Merry Tuesday! Not much going on today besides work. It had rained this morning or overnight - then the sun came out - now it's dreary again! Guess it's going to be one of them days!!

Our neighbors came over last night to sit on the patio for awhile. It was really relaxing - I needed that! I think we all did! LOL! The Amish drama is getting to me this week!

Everyone, have a merry day!
