Well, it is better than 45, 46, or 47 weeks.



Just think, in no time, it will be 43 weeks!! As I know this week is going to fly by!

Next week might be a slow week, since the kids are still out of school. But, I know that once Emily gets back to school, the weeks will just fly by until the end of school.

Well, I successfully wrapped about a 1/3 of my gifts while the girls were napping. And, I have them hidden in the garage under a big tarp. Luckily, Emily is only 4 and does't think to snoop yet.

I wanted to get more done tonight, but since we're going out to dinner, I don't think that's happening.

We've been battling with a company regarding installing our new kitchen & bar countertops. They promised us in early November that they would be in by Christmas. Well, it's Christmas week and they still haven't scheduled. We keep calling the salesperson, and he insists that they know that it was promised by Christmas, but still nothing. Then, Chris called again about an hour ago and they said that we are on their schedule for Wednesday. Well, no one told us!! We have to remove everything from the countertop & bar, along with everything in the lower cabinets in order for them to install. It would be nice to be given more than a days notice. Our sales guy was going to confirm and call us back, but alas, no call!!! I don't think that I'm getting my new countertop by Christmas.

Thanks for all the anniversary wishes everyone!!! They really do mean a lot!! Chris and I have known each other for so long, that it seems like we've been married a lot longer than only 7 years. But then again, it just seems like we were married the other day. It's weird how that happens.

I meant to place a comma after 'think'. The way I left it may have come across as sarcasm, which isn't what I intended. I do love the way you guys think

I didn't take it as sarcasm. Not at all.

It's always better to look at the cup as half full and not half empty. That's exactly what I read in your post.

Hey there everyone.

Happy Anniversary Chris & Amy

Well Nick & Jeff had a good time at the Boy Scout Camp overnight.
The other leader of my den was there too with his son and I guess the boy who slept in the bunk above him had "an accident" during the night so the other leader got an unexpected shower sort of say and not the kind you want.
Gee to think I didn't camp out and missed that!

The majority of my gift wrapping is done. Phew! I just need a gift bag or 2 for my food item gifts that really don't wrap well.

Oh that poor boy.

And, poor Jeff. There is NO way I'd take my scout den camping. None! Absolutely not! I can't even tolerate their behavior for a 1 hour den meeting.

I'm SO glad it's almost over. And, since Cameron decided not to cross over and Walker tells me he doesn't want to be a Scout, I think I'm in the home stretch!

Thanks, I try to read my posts as others might read them and I wasn't sure how that little comma might have changed the meaning

Happy Anniversary Amy & Chris! Hope it was a great day for both of you!!!

Hey everyone - we're back from our anniversary dinner. If you've never been to Bonefish Grill, give it a try, it's great. Of course, they mostly have fish, but they do have some other entrees as well. Boy, oh boy, was is good!!!!!

And, guess what I got for my anniversary???

A shiny, new, stainless steel sink!!! Isn't that exciting?!?!?! Actually, we found out that the countertop guys are going to be here tomorrow between 11am and 1pm, so we needed to buy our new sink. So, $500 later, we have our new sink & garbage disposal. How romantic!?!?!?!?!

 

[Garfield]

Love, is a many spendored thing

This reminds me of my anniversary about 8 years ago. The week before our anniversary, the transmission in my washing machine went out. It was going to cost alsmost as much as a new washer would to repair it, and since the washer was about 20 years old, DH and I went out to dinner and then to the appliance store for a new washer on our anniversary. The guys at work gave him a hard time about buying me a washing machine for an anniversary gift until one guy said "Now don't be too hard on Ken. Mary had used that washboard of hers until it was all worn out!"

 

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone!

Amy sounds like you guys had a nice anniversary.

Cindy - how was the party yesterday?

I love those practice gifts!! Give me a toaster or a new coffee pot anyday, and I'll be happy (no, we don't need new ones, Garfield Sorry, your on your own this year as far as ideas).

We just bought a new microwave and a new knife set. My kind of gifts.

So, who else loves to receive practical gifts (I won't say givers, I know better )?

 

[cgcw]

Cindy - how was the party yesterday?

It turned out to be one of those situations where the best laid plans backfire.

I had 2 out sick in the morning. Sent another 2 home sick. That left me with my own kids, 1 - 4 year old, and 3 - 1 year olds. A very strange day indeed.

It's been a while since I had a day like that. Two things I noticed......gee, those little ones are easy. They don't care if they work on a project (as they usually eat it) and MAN can they make a mess!! The 5 year old I care for is the "Best Cleaner Upper" I have and I didn't realize how much he truly helps around here. This place looked like a tornado blew threw here by the end of the day. As I would be trying to straighten up, the little ones would be taking the things right off the shelf (I guess it's that toddler law in effect --- if you touch it, it's MINE, MINE, MINE , they are all rather good at that).

So, it was a laid back, crazy kind of day. It will be like that until after the 1st of the year. I'm only working a handful of days until then -- - I have Friday, Monday, Tuesday & Friday off so it will be a treat. One of the little boys I watch will not be here after today -- as his parents are both teachers and they stay home over winter break (I get paid though ). Another family with their 2 kids is going to Texas ( Julie & David I'll tell them to say hi) and because of the crowds out and about over the break, I don't usually take the kids anyplace. I am thinking of doing breakfast at McDonald's playland one of these morning, but then Cameron would actually need to get up before noon.

Wow, we know that around here!!! Madison is a big MESS maker, but her sister helps too. But, while Emily knows how to clean up (she doesn't like it, but she does know how to do it), Madison is still learning. And, while Maddie will pick stuff up and put it away with direction, that only lasts a few minutes, then she just starts playing with it again!!!
