carole, what is the time difference to where you are based on cst?
i can't sleep is my excuse...
good to hear your mom's surgery was sucessful.
sounds like she is in good hands w/ your sister with her.
Thank you.......She`s doing great, she sounded so much better last night on the phone.
Yankeepenny is correct I think. We`re 5 hours behind Florida and New York, and I think 8 hours behind LA, so I think 6 hours ahead of where you are.
I can`t sleep tonight either. It`s nearly 5am here and I couldn`t get back over when I awoke at 4......DH still has a cold

so is blissfully sound asleep snoring very loudly!!! So I`m up......it was either get up or keep nudging him rather sharply and getting more annoyed......
Hi everyone

Carole, I'm glad to hear your mum is doing well.
I just realized it's 3 days till Christmas and I haven't wrapped a single present

Better get going, I guess.
The good news is we only have one week before our trip



I finished my wrapping last night Vicki.....I`m normally more organised than this.
You must be so excited for your trip

it`s so close now!!
OK,this is a CB question.But I rather ask here were it is nice with no SA remarks that I'll get over there.
WWYD if you were me:
A)Go to in-laws on the 25'th cuase they expect you to
B)Go to DD's house and spend time with closer family and my GB's
C)Stay with your dad who is alone and wants my company
D)Say the heck with everyone,get a bottle,cook a steak and watch football by myself
It sucks being in my mid 40's and I'm still told what to do at home!!!
Tis the season of misery for me...........
It`s a shame you feel so pulled........supposed to be a fun time of year isn`t it
I assume taking your dad to spend time with you at DD`s is maybe not an option????
If not then I would visit my dad. See other family around other dates. We live 4 hours away from my family (dh has no family other than distants) and I would love to see them especially around the holidays. But it`s not an option really.
I would never go spend time with inlaws or anyone just because it`s expected though.
I do hope whatever you decide.....you`re happy with it and have a lovely time
My first full day in the house without having to go out

Grocery shop all done and house is all tidy. Going round to friends house tonight though for dinner and a drink. They only live 5 mins away so very walkable...even after a couple of Christmas glasses of wine
Loved AHS finale....The cast was tremendous, especially Jessica Lange. If I`m being picky I was disappointed in a strange way we didn`t see more of Thaddeus. I really thought he would have been more prevalent to the stories.....he was terrifying. I can`t talk about it with DH as he hasn`t watched the online ones.....he`s just watched open house.....and it`s so hard not to jump in with spoilers!!!!!
I loved the subtle humor in this show too. How long do we have to wait for the new series......not that I`m impatient or anything
