That's all I'm doing

prayers for all those in need

Jen hopefully your afternoon is quieting down with him gone.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

OH my gosh!!!

I understand you have to get things ready for Black Friday and the holidays.. BUT why on EARTH do you have to move every last thing in the store... What should have taken 2.5 hours at most took me almost 4..... So if I get snarky in a post... please know it is NOT directed at you.. I haven't eaten and it's 2pm already!!! Seriously.. I spent almost an hour at one store searching for something that 4 people were looking for including 2 staff members.. they were even at a lost!!!

I did score some major sales at the grocery and brought 2 FULL, overflowing carts home for 150!! And that was with minimal coupons! I think I only have a few things to pick up right before Thanksgiving.. I got my 20# turkey for $10!!!

Ok, now to put up the items I bought from the craft stores...

really I should eat before then!!!

 

[JJ&JHsmom]

Cheryl, if I ever finish cleaning here I will be on my way!

Unfortunately my family thinks I am not only mom and wife, but cook, chauffer and cleaning lady. Furniture and cushions are drying, I really do not enjoy this job. Okay vent over.

Christy good luck sorting your pictures.

Jennifer, hope your day is getting better.

Rachal, hope it warms up! Can't wait for my countdown.

Hope everyone else gets the cleaning done and can enjoy part of the day.

TGIF!!!! This work day can not get over fast enough!! I need the weekend. Only 7 more work days until Thanksgiving- I can make it, right??

Positives- Looks like New York Trip is still on (though Lady Liberty and Ellis Island will still be closed which MIL really wanted to do), and I am excited!!

My MIL called me yesterday and said I can never think of anything to get you guys for Christmas so we are just going to buy your family a Disney Cruise-is that ok?? Ummm....Yes!!!! So my DH and I discussed what to do. We think we decided that a 7 day cruise with be a little much for DS6 (he has fragile x and autism). He really wasn't excited on our last cruise, but he loves the parks. So we decided on a 4 day cruise and 4 1/2 days at WDW which is the same price as the 7 day cruise!! Super excited Hope that is the right decision. The girls love cruises, so I hope that 4 days seems long enough and makes everyone happy!! Did I mention my MIL is amazing I used to feel guilty accepting gifts and items from her, but over the years I learned to be more comfortable with it. Growing up, I had to work for everything and stuff wasn't just given to me. I have realized over the years that she actually enjoys spending money on others, and to just let it go and reap the benefits.

We are going out of town for Thanksgiving this year, so I don't have to cook or prepare for the meal this year!!!

Excited and just wanted to share my news!! Hoping we made the right decision.

Congrats Michelle.. that is an awesome gift!!!

I asked for a family gift from my parents for Christmas since my kids are older.. Mom called yesterday and announced she bought us pots and pans! I'm sure the kids will be thrilled.. I was thinking more of games or movies or renew our zoo membership like she did last year.....

That is funny! I am sure your kids will be absolutely thrilled!! Maybe you should give each kid a cookbook too, maybe this gift could work in your favor??

Well my CT results are in and they don't show a blockage or anything significant that would explain my symptoms. I'll be seeing the specialist on November 19th.
