Right now I have less than half an hour to get the kids to school. Dakota says she's feeling better, isn't running a fever, but she still has that croupy sounding cought and a snotty nose. I'd like her to go to school (they only have the rest of this week left and no real work in class) but I have yet been able to motivate her to eat. Sigh...now I can't decide if I should just go ahead and keep her home or send her to school!

Right now, screw it. I'm going to keep her home. She won't be missing anything important today and they'd probably just call and make me come get her anyways. Maybe with another day at home she'll sound and feel better.

right now, holly's at school today, her ulcer (which hasn't flared since the summer 2 years ago) was acting up again. along with the stress of finals, and not eating as good as she should during the school day (not eating at all), not taking her stomach meds (cuz her thinking is "why should i take them, it's not hurting) has caused a flare. which means that she had vomiting, diarrhea, headache. nice chicken soup, toast, seven-up, doses of maalox last night, she woke up much better this morning.

Right now: Poor Holly!
My stomach is hurting today, ok, not my stomach because it is up in my ribs, which is an entirely different pain, but I am having some cramping. This baby get's in there and stretches out like you wouldn't believe. I have 8 weeks until my due date. Seems so far away doesn't it. I hope it goes by fast. I don't want to be pregnant any more. My official last day of work is February 3rd and they are training my replacement, and I hate to say it, but she is doing great. It really worries me! Yikes. I will have almost 4 months off of work to be with my girls. I need some time off. I have to get my act together and get the babies room done, painted, decorated, etc. Sounds exhausting. Does anyone want to volunteer to help, I could use it.
On the plus side, I finished all of my Christmas Shopping, except for one gift, which is the gift I need to get for my landlords. They are an older couple, probably mid sixties and they dropped of some really nicely wrapped gifts for DH and I and DD, so I need to get them something. Any suggestions?

RN, escapee, i would give them the gift of sharing. have them get the baby's room ready! and then i would give them the gift of joy and love, and let them take your firstborn for a night while you and dh relax LOL
actually, i would get them a gift certificate to a restaurant they might enjoy or a basket with some microwave popcorn, candy, soda and a couple of previously viewed movies that they re-wrap at the video stores. if you knew what kind of lifestyle the have, you might get them a year's subscription to sunset magazine or something. just some thoughts. a plate of cookies and candy would do it, too, if they aren't diabetic or on a diet.
we are making 12 more pounds of our english toffee tomorrow. we are also making dozens of neiman marcus chocolate chip cookies. all my family gets a plate of sweets. since there are so many of us, we are doing the christmas go-round. each of us will get a gift (up to ten dollars) and then we can let it change hands 3 times. it's way too hard and expensive, otherwise. i have 3 sisters and 3 brothers, my dh has a sister and 2 brothers, and they are mostly all married and most also have kids. throw the grandparents into the mix and we could be purchasing 25 or 30 gifts. just can't do it. this year is particularly hard, with the two mortgages and line of credit interest we are paying until this house sells!

RN: I don't really know them that well, what their movie habits or eating habits or lifestyle is like. They travel a lot in their fifth wheel, they are retired, and they have a bunch of money. Check out this site and tell me what you think of their gift items.

Do they like movies? Maybe make a gift basket with gift cards to Blockbuster OR a movie theater and popcorn and junior mints (movie candy...). Do they like to read? Maybe a reading gift basket with a gift card to Barnes&Noble and slippers and snacks.

Right now we're doing date night stuff for Darrens mom and new step dad. Movie bucks and a gift card to a restuarant. We figure it's the only thing we won't get back in a few months.

right now, picture it: tabby's house just after 1:00. dh is still out mailing landi's gift (2 hours!?) and i have been patching nail holes and setting up to paint son's room. dd comes home for lunch and stays home because she's sick. kitchen is a jumble of almonds, chocolate chips, toffee being broken into pieces, food processor, 75-pound dog has extreme gas...and someone is coming to see the house at 2:00!
eeek! we got the kitchen cleaned (if sticking half the stuff into the cold oven counts), downstairs vacuumed, bathrooms cleaned, trailer (earl's fit wheel) moved from our driveway to an empty lot down the street....wish us luck!!

Right now, for the first time in 3 months, I am actually feeling a little pain relief. Between the knee, the sciatica and the heel spurs, It has been so bad the past 3 weeks or so, that I have not left the house, and actually have not even left my bed very much, and I have been on massive pain meds. Well, I have this accupuncturist that comes to the house and he has been here twice this week, and for the first time I feel relief and that I can walk. I hope it continues. I cannot tell you what this has been like. I pray that this is my road to recovery.

RN I just got home from work, and I am totally worn out. I should go to my second job, but I think I am going to call in sick. RN I really need a night to just sit back and relax and watch some TV.

Escapee you could always get them something like a windchime or something of that sort that they could hang on their deck or in the back yard. That way everytime they hear it chime they would think of you. Or some type of a unique looking clock, something they could use in either their home or RV.

btw what did they get you, you can often tell their tastes by what they picked out for you.

Right now:
Yeah, we haven't opened it yet. Last year we got them some very nice seasonal mugs and they gave us a ham, it was really good. The year before they gave us a beautiful porcelain nativity scene.

I like the idea of a wind chime. I'll have to look into that. Thanks for the tip. They have really done a lot in their backyard. It's really a showplace, although it's not fair that they have such a beautiful house and they charge us to live in rubble. LOL!

RN I am LOL at Escapee comments about living in rubble. If they have a nice back yard there are all kinds of things you could get for the yard, depending on the dollar amount. I love yard decorating LOL. You could get birdbaths, decorative birdhouses, statues of all size, shapes and colors, stepping stones, etc. etc.
