1) Well, I've done only 1/2 days at work since Wednesday and the pneumonia diagnosis. Actually yesterday I worked from home all day. 2) Today I made it till 12:00. Just wish I didn't feel so light headed or like I ran a marathon every time I walk 20 yards. 3) DH just fashioned a desk for me for use while laying in bed. Didn't realize my wireless router would reach upstairs and around all the corners! 4) I may never leave this bed! 5) DS has a swim meet tomorrow, so I'll have to! 6) Wonder if I'll need more Nyquil before tonight? 7) Glad Ami is gone from Survivor 8) and Ivana from Apprentice 9) Now I'm listening to Maury with DNA test results. Is this an everyday thing? Every time I watch his show this is on!!!

1. happy friday! (and thank goodness, too!) 2. these 5-day work weeks are for the birds. i only worked 2 last week, and 3 the week before, so five just DRUG OUT FOREVER! 3. the cat has been particularly annoying and non-behaving lately. slamming cabinet doors and scratching at doors when they are closed. sometimes i think she was put on this earth to irritate me! 4. i got another $25 perfect attendance bonus this month. i marched straight to the mall, and went to a new store called g&g rave, and bought a velour jogging suit for only $19.99 - for both pieces. what a bargain! 5. my niece will be performing with her little cheerleading squad at a halftime performance of a university basketball game tomorrow. she is none too thrilled about having to wear a turtleneck as part of the outfit, so will be interesting how she acts. she would NOT show us her routine last week with the turtleneck on under the rest of the outfit. 6. i haven't gotten enough sleep all week. those 5 days i had off, i got up late and stayed up late. makes 6am look really ugly. i hate 6am. 7. i am hoping to finish my christmas shopping this weekend. 8. i'm also hoping i get this place cleaned up and decorations and tree put up. then there is the cat/tree situation. oy. sometimes i wonder what possessed me to get a cat. (none of our cats growing up were so poorly behaved, though) 9. a guy at worked loaned me the movie the day after tomorrow. kinda apprehensive about watching it, though. 10. i loaned him old school. it's a bit lighter of a movie, i'm sure. have a great weekend, factoiders!

1. I am so tired I could fall asleep at this computer desk.....it is only 7:15pm..wondering if I should rest for a bit so I can make it to at least 9pm (after Joan of Arcadia is over) 1.1 Interviews with kids teachers went O.K...I understood what dd's teacher said, however unless your kids is 100% participating, understands beyond a grade 2 student, you won't get an A. So if you are doing the work, get good marks, but don't participate in the class all the time you won't get an A...oh well. it can only get better from here right.

1. Nick, it'll be a blast! I remember those first Christmas' the kids were really aware of what was going on, realizing Santa had been here, and being able to fully enjoy all the Christmas traditions. 1.5 Caleb made an offhand comment the other day about Santa not being real. I felt my world collapse, LOL. He was so matter of fact about it. He didn't mention it in front of Dakota, and didn't say much about it after that, but it was quite clear he's now at that stage where he knows, but isn't quite ready to completely give up the faith. 2. I have my baby niece sleeping on the floor right now. Oldest one is asleep with Dakota. Sis called about 5:30 in the middle of a crisis and said they might have to drop the girls off later in the evening. I have not seen enough of the girls lately, so jumped at the chance. Told her I'd be there in twenty minutes, have a bag packed. I got them back here, put the dog out back to bring in all the baby's stuff, and when I let him in he ran right to the baby and licked her from forehead to chin, lol. She thought it was hysterical and spent the rest of the night following him around. When she went to sleep, she laid down and curled up with him. They're quite content. 3. I was going to make sugar cookies and decorate with the kids today but decided to wait. Glad I did now because we can have the girls help

1. I. am. so. sick. of. blowing. my nose. I can't breathe, there's so much snot up there and I'm blowing so much and so hard it hurts. 2. Went to Tim's work party last night. It was fun but awkward. Nice people he works with, but I don't know. It's hard to describe. Very nice, but very different from us I guess. 3. I haven't heard from my mom by email in over a week. Doesn't she get that I worry?? She's still in New Zealand and chances are she just hasn't been anywhere near a computer and is too busy having fun, but I worry. Two more weeks and she'll be home. I finally got a post card yesterday. 4. Have I mentioned I'm sick of blowing my nose? Let me add the sore throat on top of that. No really, fact number four...I got all my Christmas cards done. Yay.

1. My DD is such a good mommy and stays involved with all the grandkids' activities 2. She just got elected chairman of the Father/Daughter annual dance for February and has already made most of the calls and preparations 3. She also does a lot of photography 4. That led her to be 'employed' by six seniors to do their senior photos 5. It also got her involved with doing seven senior scrapbooks 6. She recently got promoted in her bank job, too 7. Did I mention how proud of her I am?

1. Awww Gracie, I know you're proud of your dd, but keep in mind...a lot of her success is because of her mommy! 2. It's been raining all day in Southern California. 3. I'm getting back into my normal routines once again and it does feel good. 4. I went to Curves yesterday and then I did some arm and abs today....and now I'm a bit sore...oh-oh! 5. Egbob and I picked up our Christmas Tree yesterday and it's so fresh and perfect! 6. The tree has been properly prepared and it sitting in it's stand of water....outside in the rain...lol! 7. I don't think we'll be bringing it into the house before next weekend but that still remains to be seen. 8. My kidlets are in the homestretch with college finals and they'll be home in about 2 weeks. Hmmmm....I'm just realizing that there will be three more bodies in the house....and that means I need to stock up on groceries. Well there goes an easy $200.00!! LOL!!

1. After posting late last night about how all the kids were sleeping, I was sure in for a rude awakening, literally, lol. 2. The baby had had her 1 year old shots Friday and still wasn't feeling too well. I had given her tylenol about 1, but she had a very restless night. She tossed and turned all night, which was bad since she was sleeping with me and Darren! She also woke up often. 3. Then around 3:30, Kota came into my room screaming. She wasn't feeling good, so I gave her tylenol, set up with her for awhile until she felt better then put her back to bed. 4. Then the baby woke up, lol, see how my night went? Somewhere around 6:30 this morning, baby woke up nice and cheerful, Caleb woke up and came into play with her, Darren woke up and took both of them into the living room. He let me sleep in, though since I knew the girls were here and Darren was up with them I ended up getting out of bed about 8. 5. This morning was really great though. Me and Caleb made sugar cookies while Darren and the girls threw a ball at/to each other in the den. 6. Everybody got into decorating the cookies, even the baby though honestly she ate more than anything else, lol. 7. At one point we were all sitting around the table, kids decorating, me helping, Darren sitting with the baby in his lap and teasing the older kids when oldest neice looked over and said, "Aunt Sandy, I've had the best sleep over ever!" She then went on to reccount why it was the best ever. 8. It just melted my heart that she had as good a time with us as we had with them. I enjoy spending time with them, usually see them a couple times a week, but this past week had only seen them for a few minutes THursday night before they come over yesterday. I'm not used to going that long without spending serious time with them! 9. We only had a little rain early early this morning. Sorry you got it all, Eggie!

1. eeeeeeeeep 10 facts. 2. dense fog here today - driving to work was loads of fun - dark and fog. yuck. 3. right wrist is aching this morning - no idea why other than tendonitis flair up. 4. I have on the wrist brace I keep in my desk at work on. 5. Now everyone will ask - 'did you hurt your wrist?' which drives me bats. 6. It started raining yesterday while I was in church - poured all afternoon. 7. Which made for great snuggle up read a book and take a loooooooooong nap time. 8. It is quiet in my office (so far) - I think most of the group here is off at the national sales meeting. 9. I'm thrilled at only have a few of us in here. Maybe I can focus and get some stuff DONE! 10. I have a bit of a headache - which goes without saying lately and the fog isn't helping that either.

1. Oh, Wargod that's funny about the Santa thing. When I was about 7 I matter of factly demanded that my mother admit Santa was not real. And to her credit, she admitted it even though she probably wanted to get a few more years of Santa-love out of me. Well, donchaknow I immediately turned around and told my younger brother and sister that Santa wasn't real and if they didn't believe me they should ask Mom. For anyone who doubts there might be just cause to hand out ass-kickings over Santa Claus, well . . . you should have been at my house that day when the bro and sis went crying and screaming to Mom. LOL - I consider the whole incident the source of and reason for my hatred of clowns. Umm - do they write Christmas carols about mental scar tissue? LOLOL - hope you can get just another year out of him girl, but if you don't just ask him not to tell his sister.

1. Spent the weekend in jammies and bathrobe. REALLY needed to rest. 2. I hope that the "motor" noise coming from under my house is the sump pump. At first I thought that the air conditioner was going on in the winter, and ran around the house turning multiple thermostats on and off, before I realized that it might be the sump pump. It's been raining and I know that the rivers are high, so the water table is probably high, too. Just glad I don't have a basement!

1. There's finally snow! Yay. i'll complain nonstop about winter and cold, but I always love the first snow. Too bad it's gonna be mented by this afternoon. 2. Went to Tim's work party Saturday night. it was fun- the people he works with are all very nice, but not really the type of people I would ordinarily hang out with. Work parties are weird like that when often the only thing that connects the people at them is work. 3. My cousin just got back from her trip (Budapest with a stop in London and somewhere else)- she had a great time but got punched in the back by a Hungarian hooker at a bar. Anyway, we went out for the Packer game yesterday. It wasn't really that disappointing of a game because I don't think anyone expectd them to win- and we did have the added bonus of the Bears beating the Vikings so this loss didn't hurt us like it could have.

It is lightly snowing..but really haven't had much of a covering of snow..and anything we get today will melt over night and tomorrows high is suppose to be around 12C tomorrow (54)with rain in the forecast for the entire week {sigh}

1. Spent a wonderful weekend with a TVCH friend. Lobster came to visit. I showed her some of the local Holiday displays and a smattering of the history of our area, very low key. 2. We laughed, stayed up late, ate too much junk, laughed some more, decorated my tree, giggled in between laughing episodes, does it sound like we were reverting to high school pajama party days? 3. Today I'm making chicken noodle soup, my youngest son, Kyle, has a nasty head cold that's really kicking his butt. 4. I wish my son was still young enough to keep home and cuddle when he's sick, but instead he had class this morning and has to work this afternoon, outside in the snow. 5. My house is still clean, so I must resist the temptation to mess it up by sorting out closets or some such thing. 6. I have 3 more ponchos to crochet for people before Christmas, one of these days I'm going to make myself something. I'm getting addicted to all the new soft, fancy yarns. Never having been a crafty person I had this outdated notion that yarn was itchy and stiff (must be from when I was a small child and that's what the sweaters my grandmother made us were like.)

6.1 I'm running late this morning but I wanted to pop in and express these facts... 6.2 Kaili, have you heard from Mom yet?? Darn her anyway...yeah, yeah...we all know it's a vacation but doesn't she know WE worry about her?? 6.3 War...about the Santa thing with Caleb. When my middle kidlet questioned me at age 8 or 9, I simply listened and then told him "well, all I know is that Santa only brings a gift to those who believe in him". Middle kidlet just turned 21 years old and he hasn't mentioned not believing in Santa since then....LOL!! I truly hope you get past this parental experience...it's so hard to let them grow up this fast, isn't it? Let us know how it goes.
