1. The snow we were supposed to get was a no-show. I hate weathermen - they're the only ones who can consistently do a bad job and NOT get fired. 2. My last class is tonight - WHOO HOO! 3. I'm trying to get most of my laundry done today before I have to go to school...I've been slacking. 4. I really need to get cracking on my Christmas cards. I've already gotten two in the mail and haven't even bought mine yet. 5. Congrats to Kaykay on her new purchase. Nothing better than spending a day on a boat!

1. We must be getting Froggie's snow. 2. Just got back from Mom's follow-up eye appt. It was freaking freezing out there in the wind. But we got back just in time, cause now its snowing (lightly at least). 3. Mom's eyes are doing great. Pressure in left eye on the first appt. was 46 (acceptable range 10-20). Right eye was 14. 4. After several visits and a procedure during the last couple of months, pressure is now 8 in right eye, 10 left eye! 5. Next follow up appt not for 3 months now! Yay! She's officially off one set of drops, but still has to keep the other set of drops. I'm sure she's glad to be rid of at least one of them! 6. So glad to be back home and out of that wind! Fixing sausage, eggs, toast (mom's favorite morning meal). Gonna hunker down with breakfast, hot chocolate, and a nice warm blankie over my lap and think warm thoughts!

1. I don't think I'm going to get much done today. I'm trying to shake the aftereffects of a serious headache yesterday and nothing is working. 2. Kids were great. It started right before I picked them up from school. When we got home they set down to have their snack and watch tv and when Caleb noticed I wasn't feeling well he sent Dakota to get me a pillow and he turned off the tv and took her in the den to work on homework. When Darren got home half an hour later, they were quietly working. I'm the first to admit when I get a migraine I get goofy, so when darren tried to take me to bed, I insisted I'd be fine, we promised the kids we'd take them to do their shopping yesterday. Dakota actually put her little hands on her hips, cocked her head and told me I wasn't going anywhere except to bed. How can you argue with that? 3. We're going to take them this afternoon to do their shopping. in the meantime, I'm not doing much of anything except making some jewelry and drugging up at the first sign of headache! 4. It was 28 this morning when I took the kids to school. They've thrown out salt for the second day in a row. And amazingly enough Caleb didn't argue at all about wearing his coat today, lol. 5. I got my first Christmas card yesterday. One of the women who used to live where I worked always sends me one. Shortly after Kota was born, she finally agreed to go to Washington to live with her daughter. The last couple of years her cards have been nothing but, "Merry Christmas" then her signature. I'd send one back asking how she was doing and giving her a mini update but get nothing back. I figured since she was getting older she may not even remember me, just another name on the christmas card list, except that this year she wrote a short note asking how Caleb and Dakota were doing and if I was still at home, not working. 6. Kaykay, congrats on the boat! 7. Harvey is driving me nuts today. He keeps wanting to go out, then he gets out there and decides its too cold and runs back in. LOL, my life would be so boring without my big goofball.

7.2 LOL, I bet he is! We had a boat once, before it died. We had it sitting on the side of the house for a few years (when they weren't using it) and Darren used to go work on it for hours and hours. If he had nothing to do to it that day, he'd just climb up in it and sit there for a few hours, lol. Used to crack me up to pull up and find him sitting out in the driveway!

1. We had DH's extended family Christmas party on Sunday. It was a good time. 2. We ended up with a wrought iron clock and a dust buster. Yahoo....the dust buster will be great for quick clean up around the fireplace. 3. Yesterday I was certain I was getting the flu. In the end I think it was morning sickness. Man that is some horrible stuff. I never had it with DS so I didn't know what was going on. 4. I'm really getting annoyed being around my BIL and SIL. They never have anything nice to say to or about each other. I also don't agree with the way they talk around their kids. 5. At this point it is not my business and don't say anything, but when they start their stuff around DS I will be telling them to take it elsewhere. 6. It is crisp here today. 7. Tonight is TAR night. YAY! 8. I feel like hitting the casino soon.

I still feel like going to the casino. 9. "Skin - Sara Beth" ....wow. I posted a link to the video with the words in the Right now thread yesterday for anyone interested.

1. Busy today, Spitfire, lol. 2. I was up at 6:30 doing my housework because I was expecting to watch my youngest neice but sis was having car problems so neice didn't come over. 3. Dropped the kids off at school and finished my work. 4. I've spent the better part of the morning wrapping gifts. I seem to be missing some, actually a couple bags worth of gifts, lol. I'm going to have to go on a search to find them. 5. I wrapped all that was in the garage, I've wrapped most that were in my closet and the rest are laying on my bed. I do have two bags in the trunk of my car but I know what they are and my missing gifts aren't there. 6. It's been cold here (not as cold as some of ya'll) but when it gets under 32, it's cold! Temps have dropped even further during the nights and early mornings, but this morning was actually warmer than it'd been for a week or so! 7. I need some boxes for jammies and robes and don't feel like going out for them. Think I'll try to hunt some up around here before I go shopping for some. 8. I also have to go grocery shopping. I think all I have in the fridge is a bottle of salsa and some apple juice, lol. 9. Someone left their lunch money sitting on the floor this morning. I'm guessing Caleb since he was sitting there putting his stuff in his backpack. Good thing the school will feed him and I can send his money tomorrow. 10. Someone keeps calling and hanging up when I answer. I hate that!

1. Went to the doctor yesterday for the hives. Well, I officially have STRESS....go figure! Here's hoping that the allergy/anti-histimine will work to get rid of these pesky things. 2. It is really cold again today, and I have to go back in for a 3 hour rehearsal tonight! BRRR!

Vanick---have you tried eichenacia? An herb. Works wonders for some people. The key is to double the dose on the bottle the first three days then cut back. Usually clears me up in about three days.

1. I have taken 1/2 day tomorrow and Friday off. My sister and I are taking the kids to go see Mercy Me in Portland tomorrow night. 2. Not sure what I will do all day Friday but I will find something to do (shop, make more fleece blankets)!! 3. Schoolmarm - see if you can take Zyrtec - I had hives all over one time, and got them under control from taken one of those everynight. I hope you get better, hives are miserable!

Zyrtec is what I was prescribed. So far no difference, and I have one on my tongue. YUCK! Here's hoping that it kicks in soon!

Because my sinus' are still running and my eyes are watering. 4. I actually think I may have pick eye. I've made an appointment with my doctor this afternoon. 5. This sucks!!!!!

1. Vacanick, I hope you feel better quickly for your trip! 2. Caleb's been getting rather chummy with the girl who had a crush on him through second and third grade. I watched him, his best buddy, and this girl walk across campus earlier. Caleb was in the middle, arm slung across each of their shoulders, all three of them cracking up about something. More and more often I see him and her very playful with each other. I won't go so far to say he has a crush on her, but she's nowhere near the annoyance to him that she used to be! 3. My youngest niece came to spend a few hours with me earlier while sis went Christmas shopping. We had fun! 4. I have this singing, dancing santa that's about 4 and a half feet tall. Everytime I walk in the house or out of the hallway and catch a glimpse of him it scares the crap out of me wondering why there's a little man standing next to my door. Niece thought he was the funniest thing and sat for awhile watching him sing. After one of his songs he says, "Happy Christmas!," shakes his arms and kinda dances. As soon as he did that niece was terrified of him! So we played for awhile trying to take her mind off that and then I told her we were going to do something different. I bought this foam art stuff the other day and we worked on a couple projects. She made a foam wreath and stocking all on her own. I took the paper backing off the stickers and she put them on, then she used the glitter glue and had a blast. She was so proud of herself when her mommy got back and she gave her her gift and was told how beautiful it was. Sis called later to tell me they'd hung it up and when anyone walked in the house youngest niece would grab their hands and take them to see her work. 5. Dakota was so excited today, she took a practice spelling test and got 100% so she doesn't have to take one tomorrow. She finally got moved to the different (higher) reading class and since then the spelling words have been kicking her butt. Though she does well on the real tests, the practice ones she tends to have trouble with. 6. Caleb's trying to make up for that F he got on his last math test. Today they took a practice science test and when the teacher graded them she called him and another boy up and told them since they'd done so well they'd be helping her help the rest of the class for the next week. Shockingly, since last year this would have sent Caleb straight into embarrassement, he was thrilled! I wish he could take some of that concentration he has for science and apply it to math!

1. I am going to meet some TVCHers for the first time this weekend, and one whom I've met already! 2. My husband is a crazy freakazoid collector. I made a deal with him -- if his collection could fit in this case, he could have it in the living room. It's my way of containing the clutter! He tried to push it once and put cars on TOP of the case, but I quickly reminded him of the semantics of our deal!!! LOL
3. I decided not to put up the big Christmas tree this year, so instead I put up a table tree. Here it is. At first I thought it was a little sad, but now I think it's sorta cute.
4. Notice I have my presents wrapped, too!!! (Oh, and they don't look like it in this pic, but they are at LEAST 7 inches from that heater. I made sure of it!) 5. I also decorated my fireplace mantle and my buffet in the dining room. Here's the dining room. I put some of my "big tree" ornaments in the glass vases.
6. That's it. That's all I'm doing!!! 7. Here's the mantle (which now also has some Christmas cards in the vines) and the scale of the tree -- posting this photo because I ran out of facts LOL!!

1. Yankee you have a very beautiful home (and tree!) 2. I haven't been posting much except for in my folder-didn't want to bring the place down 3. I am having trouble sleeping once again, but thats ok because I was able to get a lot of things done-like getting all my christmas cards ready to be mailed 4. I have almost all of my shopping done. 5. I dyed my hair again-first Iced Mocha which was all wrong...so I had a fit and went Blue Stary Night Black 6. I love it though-the blue is hardly noticeable and people have actually stopped me on the street to tell me it looks great 7. I have a field trip to go on with dd next week-a dinner theater-yay! 8. An old friend will also be in town next week-I am going to be busy but in a good way

1. I'm trying to keep up with this thread a little more! 2. Lovely, Yankee!!! 3. I'm eating my oatmeal for breakfast, like a good girl. 4. I got up at 6:30 and let my puppies out to potty. I had to take Mocha on a leash. 5. Yesterday, Mocha found her way around my barriers out of the yard several times. So did Sandy, but Sandy came back when called. 6. Well, Sandy came back, after she used the back yards neighbors back yard to poo in.. I felt bad, but also proud of her... You would too if you knew the people. 7. I am teaching 3rd grade today. 8. I hope the day goes quickly, DH will be here tonight. 9. Tomorrow is my dad's birthday. He's gonna be... *gasp* don't tell him I told you this.. 65!!!!! Hehehe Have a great day!
