8.1 You are an angel for opening your home to her. Thank God for people like you and your DH to have such an open home and big hearts.

1. Kady, I'm so sorry to hear about your mil. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. 2. I kept Dakota home today. She had a low fever, sore throat, and stuffy nose. She did a lot of sniffling and clearing her throat. 3. I'm a bit concerned. She was feeling better by this afternoon. It could be nothing more than allergies, but that doesn't explain the fever. Usually when she does this it'll be a couple days later and she'll come down with something nasty. Still got my fingers crossed that today was nothing more than a fluke though! 4. My little adopted sis is too cute. This year, she's taking on holiday hosting duties and doing Christmas at her house for the first time. 5. She's so excited, nervous, and aprehensive about it. She actually hand delivered invitations today, lol. This will be the first holidays without their mother, it's going to be difficult for the whole family and I think especially her. 6. She's still so young (only 22, which seems too young to me) and has this idea of past holidays and remembers how "perfect" they were. I took her invitation seriously and didn't let on that I thought she was being cute. 7. I was completely shocked today to realize that next week is Thanksgiving week! Darren said something about not being able to wait the rest of the week til he was on vacation and it just hit me, lol. He'll be home all week and the kids will be out from Wednesday til the following Monday. I have got to plan some crafts for them. 8. It's really cold here tonight. When I took Caleb to school this morning it was 46. I'm pretty sure it's colder now! 9. I'm doing a little Christmas shopping Friday. I saw an art kit for kids at Michaels that I want to pick up for Caleb and a bead kit for Dakota. I also want to check out the model planes and cars they have for him. I've been picking up a little here and there for a couple months, though we'll wait til December to do most of the shopping. LOL, the kids think I'm being terribly mean. I haven't ordered anyhing from the Scholastic Book Catalogs they get from school the last two times. What they don't know is that I've ordered from my nieces so they don't see whats coming! There's at least one more catalog coming before they get off for Christmas break so I'll do a bigger order then for Christmas.

1. We had really bad weather with tornados yesterday. 2. I was home all day and ok....I heard that they had the power off at school for about 6 hours. Also heard that the highway to get to school was flooded. 3. I was happy to stay at home and rest and edit a paper. 4. I am making a turkey tonight for a fundraiser for the students. I am getting tired of doing all of their work. 5. It is supposed to be cold today. I am just not ready for winter yet! 6. I don't want to go to work today. Too much little crappy stuff, and people will be crabby, methinks! Hope I'm wrong about that! 7. It is really good to be home and not have any BIG presentations or papers or grants due this week. WHEW! 8. The poor cats didn't know what to do with all the rain yesterday! The front porch flooded, so they were sitting on the lawn chairs on the back deck under the eave by the back door. I was a nice "food lady" and moved their food to the back. 9. I love Scholastic Books! I used to order almost all the books each time. That was back when they were under $1 and many were only 50 cents. What fun to get a pile of new books every month! 10. I was such a dufus last night looking for TAR and wondering why the mediiiawhore game wasn't updated! Oh well, I'll look forward to Survivor on Thursday since I missed it last week. Happy Wednesday everyone!

1. We had our temperature go up to 60's last night with severe wind and tornado watches. It was not nice going to bed and wondering what was going to happen with the weather. 1.1 I shut my computer off last night in case of the any power problems with the weather and I turned it on this morning to find no internet access. YIKES...2.5 hours later I am back on line. My morning feels like it didn't quite start right since I was not able to be on line first thing. 1.2 We must of put the pool cover on the proper way this time as it has not blown off and if can withstand the wind we have had last night and this morning without blowing off...I think it will be fine until spring {whew} 1.3 Today is my Grandma official 99TH BIRTHDAY! She is going to her sons place later this afternoon to celebrate with 9/10 of her kids (one is in New Zealand) and some other relatives. Happy Birthday Grandma!!!!!! 1.4 Going to try and work on accounting today and get some of this house cleaned or organized. Have a great day all!!!

1. OMG Skootz I knew it was windy out there but never realized that we were having tornado watches. Guess I should pay more attention. 2. I am 2 months pregnant today. I feel so scared this time. I was probably just as scared last time but don't remember. I am not scared about having a baby, rather that the baby is going to be alright. I think everyone feels this way until they hear the heartbeat and see the ultrasound right?

1.1 yes spit not nice weather. The weather has also screwed my TV arial again so only get one channel today until the wind dies down and the roter can turn it into position again. So far no snow..but that is suppose to be coming later today. 2.1 Hang in there spit..it is a very nervous time the first few months. With myself having 2 out of 3 premies..the worry was for me being able to hold on to a pregnancy long enough without going into early labour.

1. Snow??? Skootz you are becoming my weather reporter. 2. My son was 6 weeks early because I had hypertension and all the sign for preeclampsia. At my GP appointment on Thursday to confirm pregnancy my blood pressure was already 140/90. I'm worried for sure but not the type of person to stress about things, so I'm remaining calm about the whole thing unless something happens. 3. My GP finally called to let me know that I have my first appointment with the baby doctor....it's not till December 15. OMG that's to long.

3.1 Skootz, I am way more scared this time than I was last time. I don't know why though. I am in my 27th week, and feeling absolutely huge. I have gained 11 pounds and I just don't see how I can get bigger over the next 13 weeks, but I know I am going to! Ugh. If I can stay under 20 pounds total weight, I will be happy. I am glad that I have you to swap stories with, though. Hang in there, we'll share our fears. My DD was 11 days late. They told me with this one that my due date was 2/19, then the one sonographer said 2/17, then the other sonographer said 3/2. ARGH. I don't want to go two weeks over due.

1. I'm so excited that my son and his wife get to come home for Christmas and that I will have all my kids here at that time. 2. I'm not so excited that this may be the last one we spend all together for awhile. 3. My dd's husband just got his orders for 10 months of tech school in Georgia! Which means my dd and my grandson, Joey, will be moving to Georgia in February! 4. I'm not ready for the holidays!

1. I will be there for you Denecee!! We will just keep busy doing something until they come back!! 2. It is cold in Oregon today but beautiful out blue sky and all! 3. I hope to work in my yard this weekend if it doesn't rain. 4. My bosses last day was yesterday and I will miss him terribly. I am sad today as his office is empty. My new boss will be interesting. Will see how that plays out. 5. Rocky Road had his teeth cleaned last Friday and is doing great!! I was so worried!! Have a great weekend everyone!!

1. I am so unprepared for the holidays. DD keeps saying "It's Christmas day." 2. We have no clue what to get a two year old who has everything. 3. I feel so blech. 4. I need a day off to go to Old Navy 5. I did register for my baby shower, my sister has been pestering me to get that done. 6. I am really looking forward to having 3 Thanksgiving Dinners next weekend.

1. I stopped by and visited with my bestest friend this morning. 2. Sometimes I'm a rotten friend. This past year was so rough, busy, hectic, sad, and just plain exhausting that I didn't really have the time or energy to do much visiting. She stuck by me through it all though, always understanding when she'd call to invite me over and I'd be honest and tell her I just didn't have it in me to drive across town or go out. 3. Now that life is getting back to normal, so am I! We made plans for this weekend. 4. I'm also making her a bracelet, lol. After making all this stuff to sell its nice to make something personal. 5. I also ran out to pay some bills and stopped by my sisters, who wasn't home. Finally did catch up with her. 6. Then I came home, ate, and started cleaning. I got the kitchen, living room, and bathroom done. I've now run out of steam, lol! I want to do the den but I think I'll wait til tonight when everyone else is in bed. 7. Spitfire, I think the second time around is much more frightening! You know what you're getting yourself into, lol. Seriously, I think with the first one we're so excited it outweighs everything else, but with the second we're much more aware and knowledgable about everything.

7.1 Is it normal to think that I have one healthy child and maybe I don't deserve a second healthy child? I am anxious about all the stuff that I know is to come - ten fold - but am more terrified that the baby is healthy. I know....it's all hormones and my motherly functions kicking in right. Whatever is to be is to be. I believe that God gives you what you can handle.

1. I hate snow. No, I hate ice. Not in drinks, but on my driving space. 2. I hate other cars too, especially when they drive right up my butt when there's a totally open lane that they could pass me in. 3. Tonight I got 15 miles toward work (it's 22 miles) and called in to tell them I wouldn't drive down there, then turned around and drove home. 4. It took me an hour to get home. 5. My supervisor gave me a hard time- like UPS was going to go under if I didn't show up. Whatever. "Kaili, I really need you to come in. Yeah, I know there are accidents all over 41 and traffic is hardly moving. No, I don't get that you aren't willing to die for this company." GRRR!!! 6. In 6 years I have called in maybe 5 times at the very, very most total. I don't call in unless I mean it and I really did nor feel safe driving tonight. 7. Plus if I did get there I would still have to drive that 22 miles back home around this time of night when it's colder, darker, and probably icier. 8. It's not just that- this is the first snow of the year so I need to readjust and get used to it again and it's the first snow since I got my car so I don't know how this car handles in it yet. *Sigh* When's spring start?

1. kaili, sorry you have snow and ice. that sucks! glad you got home ok. 2. it's gotten quite a bit colder here, too. yesterday morning it was about 60 degrees when i left for work. i think it was 35 degrees by the time i left...and flippin' windy. 3. it's stayed cold since then, and i think got down to 25 last night. brrrrrrr. it's a good excuse for me to wear my fake janie robe all night after i take my shower...i've actually slept with it on the past several nights...i keep it kind of cool in here. lol. 4. lola wouldn't even get up out of bed this morning because it was too cold. i went in the bedroom when it was almost time for me to leave for work, turned on the light, and said "are you gonna get up today?" she turned her head and looked at me, then tucked her head back under the blanket. lol...i finally took her to her kennel when it was time for me to leave. it was kind of nice getting to eat my breakfast without any animals trying to get to it. 5. last weekend i saw the movies derailed, and the 40 year old virgin. very different movies, but both were pretty good. that 40 year old virgin guy made me look like a socialite. so funny! 6. work sucked today. sometimes i wonder if the bosses are capable of logical thinking....i don't think so. 7. i'm reading the nicholas sparks book, the guardian right now. it took me awhile to get into it, but i think it's starting to get interesting. 8. i loved watching the CMA's last night. i really loved that keith won entertainer and male vocalist of the year. seems i'm not the only keith urban fan! i read that he dodged questions about ms. kidman that he was asked at CMA press. this doesn't look good, at all. 9. guess it's about time for me and the animals to go to bed. have a great evening everyone!

1. Been ages since I've factoided. 2. Spent all weekend winterizing the house. 3. Should have been done since we bought it, but was lazy. 4. Caulked the windows and doors, filled some cracks that have appeared over the years. 5. When we bought the house, I didn't notice all the shoddy craftmanship the builders put into this thing. Kinda pisses me off. Does nobody have any pride in their work any more. 6. Now, it does seem to be a bit better, but still have a lot to do. 7. Zoe's had a cold for the last few days. 8. Luckily, she's grown out of the danger zone. When she was younger, she was more perceptible to RSV and Pneumonia. 9. The last couple of years, she has had to have RSV shot's once a month during the flu season. 10. They were expensive shots too. Thank goodness I have good insurance. 10.a It's supposed to get down to 27 degrees tonight. brrrrrrrr!

1. It is 6:30 am and I have just finished carving the turkey, making the gravy and potatoes and am waiting for the jello salad to set. WHAT???? I'm a week early?? No, actually it is for a fundraiser for my student group. Hopefully we can make enough so they don't have to be 8 in a room at the state conference! 2. Cold here, too. Hope it zaps the allergens. I'm really tired of having hives.

1. Talked to my baby sis yesterday. She is staying with her oldest daughter waiting for her first baby, sis's third grandbaby. They were getting loads of snow while we talked. 2. Okay, I live in a tropical zone and we got below freezing last night. It's only 42º now since the sun came up. 3. I don't mind the cold weather if I don't have to drive on ice and snow.

I was going to share with them the history of the town we live in-complete with pictures 4. Of course dd reminded me that they are 3rd graders and would love to have some sort of game to go along with the lesson. 5. I didn't sleep well last night (big shocker) and won't be getting much sleep tonight because we are going to the midnight showing of Harry Potter!

1. The weather here went wacko yesterday. 2. It was about 60 around noon/1pm and then come 3pm it dropped to 40 and windy as all heck. 3. I think I'm ready for snow. When the weather gets cold like this I get antsy for the first real snow so I can get cozy on the couch with cocoa and watch the snow fall. 4. My new in-laws are having Thanksgiving dinner at their lake house this year. The house is in a lake community about 20 minutes from us which beats the usual hour and a half drive to their "regular" home. 5. The in-laws so kindly invited my family to dinner that afternoon. I'm not sure if they're going to accept or not but it would make for a very interesting day if they did! 6. Steve and I are contemplating a trip to the Smokey Mountains in Tennessee (Gaitlinburg/Pigeon Forge area). We can reserve a cabin w/ fireplace(s), jacuzzi(s), and even a hot tub outside for about $120/night. Seems very romantic to me. If anyone has ever been to this area before, stop in my folder and tell me all about it. Thanks!
