Calling all Fireman wives!!!

The town Christmas party was alright - there was more people there than I thought there would be. But, I guess there's alot of people that have to work for this town to make it run.

Today I am doing alot of things around the house and going to the grocery store. I started wrapping presents yesterday, and I'm planning on working on that some more today also

Karen - If I had someone I could pay $20 bucks to wrap presents, I would pay that in a heartbeat!!!!!! You're so lucky!!!
**How was your Christmas party?
**Welcome home to Sarah!!!
**Good luck to Emily with her cheer competition
**Kevin and I went shopping yesterday too, and we are officially finished shopping too - it's a good feeling isn't it?!?!


Well, I gotta run and make some breakfast.
Have a good day today!!!!

Good Morning Everyone!

Sorry I haven't been around. This was one of those weeks where we had something going on almost every night after school and I wasn't getting home until 7, 8 and even 9 one night!

We went out of town last weekend. We went to Gatlinburg to see the lights and to celebrate A.J.'s 18th birthday! He's officially an adult now! Our friends, Bev and Dan, also went with us and we had a great weekend!

Guess I better go do some reading back and see what I've missed around here!

Yesterday I took Kate to the Pediatrician for a colon X-Ray, and the X-Ray showed that she was only 1/4 cleaned out I was expecting her to be all emptied out. So, I guess she has to continue on her special diet and on her laxative

She also has to go on a new allergy mediciane to help with her cold like symptoms. She has to take one mediciane by mouth and one spray in her nose. She also has the start of an ear infection, so we have to start putting drops in her ears - bummer!!!!!

Well, I gotta run and get ready for work!!
Have a good day today everyone!!!

Just reading back Sandy - I sure hope that Katie is all better by now, at least for the cold part. The colon-thing sounds like it's still gonna be a while but like you said - that could be so much worse.

I survived the FD Christmas party last night. I didn't get razzed as much as I thought I would, which was good. I did get the nickname "Crash", but that's okay, I got a thick skin

Crash!

Where's a tag fairy around here when you really need one!

slo - You do have a busy day! We don't have one of those stores here. I paid my niece $20 to wrap my presents! Everything that was here already is done! She was supposed to babysit the other night, but I cancelled and I wanted her to still earn her $$. We have our Christmas party at the office today. It's usually very big and fun! I enjoy this day! That is so cool that you have a town Christmas party!

Sarah came home last night!!!

Emily has a cheer competition this weekend! Sarah is going to take her since i have to work!

$20 to wrap presents?? Not bad but luckily I've got free help! The boys LOVE to wrap presents. They may not be perfect, but they certainly are wrapped with a lot of love. And then all I'm left with is their presents. Maybe I could have your niece do those for me!

Welcome home Sarah!!! Heather won't be home until Christmas Eve and then will have to leave Christmas night or the next morning.

Good morning everyone!

Jim and I went shopping last night & finished up our kids Christmas!

What are ya'll up to this weekend!

Finished! I just started yesterday. I really haven't had the time or the money to start shopping until yesterday. Usually I am all finished by this time and it seems so weird to still have so much to do!

Today we're wrapping and cleaning. And if we have time we may work on our gingerbread house. (It's one of those kits too!)

 

[eeyoresmountainpals]

I think I'm all caught up on what I've missed. Whew! I like it better when I can keep up day-to-day!

Some news on our end - we've been waiting almost a year to have some logging done on our property. Finally the guy told DH about two weeks ago that it was going to be spring before he could start. And he had told us that once he did start it would take up to a year to finish. (He's a cop so he does the logging on the side.) DH finally told him that he would find someone else to do it. Well, this guy has a little money tied up in a culvert he put in for a drive so he didn't want to lose that so he found someone else to do it so he could work out the money for the culvert. Anyway, this other guy started last Monday and he's already hauled out 6-8 truckloads of logs! (The huge stuff!) He's got a drive cut up to where we may build one day and he's got trails all through the property - perfect size for a 4-wheeler. And this guy says that he should be through by March!!

But now here is the funny part! We have NEVER been able to get cell phone service here at the house (first with the local cell company and now we're with Verizon). And half the time our fire scanner doesn't work well. We'd hear the tones go off but we would have to call in to the dispatcher to find out details for the call! The first day that they were cutting (Monday) they must've cut down one of the big trees that was blocking a cell tower!!! Now we get perfect cell service at the house!

eeyore - ya'll would be perfect for the "can you hear me now" commercial!

eeyore - ya'll would be perfect for the "can you hear me now" commercial!

We joke about that all the time!

 

[eeyoresmountainpals]

Happy Sunday everyone!

I have to work today so I better get moving. Hope you all have a nice day!

 

[Idroveallnight]

Ugh! I have to work today, too!! We have the all day & late thing going on, so I won't be home until late! I work tomorrow night, off Tuesday, work Wednesday night and then off until after Christmas!

Hello everyone!!!

Today is always a nice day for our family.
We celebrate Christmas with Kevin's extended family today
The girls are excited because that means - PRESENTS!!!!!

We went out of town last weekend. We went to Gatlinburg to see the lights and to celebrate A.J.'s 18th birthday!

Happy Birthday to A.J.!!!!!!!
That sounds like a wonderful way to celebrate his birthday

I sure hope that Katie is all better by now, at least for the cold part.

She is, thanks for asking
The Zyrtec plus the nose spray she's on is really helping alot

Where's a tag fairy around here when you really need one!

I thought of that too
But....I don't think I can get anymore tags unless I agree to have my "sponsership" removed and have it placed in my siggie - which I don't want to do Because if I move it, then it's going to be considered 1 of my 3 allowable images, and I don't want that.

Now we get perfect cell service at the house!

Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?

We have the all day & late thing going on, so I won't be home until late!

That's a bummer!!!
But it sounds like you'll have some nice time off coming soon


Well, I gotta run and get some breakfast
Have a good day today everyone!!!!

 

[eeyoresmountainpals]

HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE!

Hope you all have a great day!

Today is a busy day.........
I have to work until 4.
Then come home and take Steph to dance by 5
Then get her from dance and go straight to the firestation for dinner with Santa
Then come home and help her do homework
Then finally bed

Have a good day today everyone!!!

 

[slo]

Dinner with Santa last night was just great!!!!
The kids had such a great time, and when Santa came into the FD in the firetruck I thought Katie was going to pass out with excitement I'm really kicking myself for not taking my video camera. I also had a chance to visit with FD friends - it was a really a nice night!!!!!


Today I am working at the frame store - it's down to crunch time - the dreadful week before Christmas Hopefully our customers will continue to behave themselves and not ruin my holiday by being difficult.

 

[Idroveallnight]

I am off today, so Sarah & I are going to do some shopping.I can't believe Christmas is almost here!!

 

[eeyoresmountainpals]

Good Morning all!

slo - Glad your fire department party was so great and that Katie was so excited over Santa! That's what memories are made of. I wish my kids were still that little.

Idroveallnight - Hope you enjoyed your shopping time with Sarah! I know it's great for you having her home!

I'm off to work. A little late - I've already gone out on a fire call this morning. Luckily is was a false alarm but it still gets you pumped up! Maybe I'll have a little energy at work today since I was off an running first thing this morning!

Have a great day!

I took advantage of Stephanie being out of school today and slept in until 8:15am - it was nice Plus, I stayed up until midnight last night finishing my wrapping, which made sleeping in a little nicer

Today we are doing some last minute Christmas shopping - I sure hope the traffic in and out of the stores isn't that bad I need to go to one store just for a couple of bags of Ghiradellis Peppermint bark - everyone loved these

Karen - I hope you and Sarah had a nice day shopping.

Kathy - Is your dept on call 24 hours a day, or do you have certain designated times that you are on call?


Well, I gotta run and get ready for shopping
Have a good day today

 

[eeyoresmountainpals]

It's Thursday, it's Thursday!

Sandy - We're on call 24/7. We're such a small department (22 members!) that we need as many to show up as possible to any one call!

I can't imagine being almost finished with wrapping. I guarantee I won't be done until the wee hours of Christmas morning!

Remember me telling you that I got a promotion and it was a "key carrying" position. The boss told me yesterday that I'll have to go in on Christmas day to check all the refrigeration in the store! I don't mind going in on Chirstmas day but I am nervous with that being the first time that I'll have to mess with the alarms on my own. But I'm the closest one to the store. Of all of the managers I'm the only one that lives in the county! One lives in the next county over and two live out of state (in TN)!

Hope everyone has a nice day today. I have to work but I am off tomorrow! And I've got sooooo much to do tomorrow!

 

[slo]

Today is my last day of work, and then I don't return until next Thursday

Last night Stephanie and I played Disney's Seen It and it was so much fun. Then after we were done, Kevin came and played a second game with us. It was a really fun family night

Kathy - Your dept is like our dept, and you have about as many members as our dept.
**That's a bummer that you have to go into work Christmas day, but I bet you won't be there long. When it comes to the alarms, you should write the instructions on a index card and take them with you (at least that's what I would do, because I would probably forget a step )

Well, I gotta run and jump in the shower soon.
Have a good day today everyone!!!
