Nan-
sending pixie dust your way. stay safe.

i'm glad that your dd is not driving today. i worry about stuff like that.
i actually picked up something for her the other day. hopefully i'll get it in the mail tomorrow with you elf stamp thingys.

 

[morgansmom2000]

It's Thursday! I'm not working today. I have a list of places to go and things to do, but I don't want to do any of it, really. I'm leaning toward vegging out for the day.

My little Siamese cat is sick. He won't eat and that's just not like him. Not even any wet food! So, I'll keep an eye on him...DH found him with a bag of grass seed last week (he's a pip and a half), so no doubt he ate something he shouldn't have.

I can buy my plane tickets for the cruise on Delta, but there are only two non-stop flights on the way home, one at 10:50 am and one at 7:20 pm. I don't know if the 10:50 is too early, but I really don't want to hang out at the airport for the entire day either. Need to call my travel agent.

Princess has basketball practice tonight and I have to go to her teacher's conference. We'll take two cars to practice and I'll go from there to the conference. I asked her what Mrs. R was going to say about her and she said "she's very sweet and needs to work on her handwriting." I have a feeling that's about right

Hope everyone has a great day!

That's what they used to say about me.

And you know what? I still need to work on my handwriting.

 

[PinballFamily]

Is it Thursday? No, it is ME day! I decided last night that I'm taking (most of!) today off to just do fun things for myself! I'm tired of running around like a crazy person, doing a zillion things for everyone else at this time of the year.... So...

Kids up and out
Advent calendar activity "make milk shakes tonight" - this is a great one that we all look forward to!
Walk dog

Then...
Scrap shopping with friends (AE) or take some stuff to one of their houses to crop
Lunch out? And/or hit ACM/Mike's on the way home?
Read some of the lovely holiday magazines that have been stacking up lately
Nap or scrap some (more)
Have to - verify homework WAS done

Historical Society meeting @ 6 p.m.
Then home for dinner - chicken satay - and homemade milk shakes...chocolate peanut butter is my traditional fave!
Meds and bed

i actually picked up something for her the other day. hopefully i'll get it in the mail tomorrow with you elf stamp thingys.

She was upset and wouldn't talk to me.. she sees it as a punishment... it's not a punishment.. I prefer to keep you safe.....but be upset, you'll get over it...

I had to go get her truck open for her yesterday the doors iced shut.. she couldn't pull too hard because the dork next to her gave her enough room to barely get in if she could get the door open... plus there was ice between the vehicles so as you pulled, you slipped under the vehicle... Three good tugs and I was in. There were about 10 parents there helping kids..and kids were helping kids (those who forgot de-icer and such)... I know we lent ours to another girl. Anyway, I'm more miffed because older stepson, saw that PJ was struggling to get in the truck and he didn't even stop to help. He told on himself..as he called his dad and asked if she ever got in the truck.. DH asked why, he said well, I saw she couldn't get in but it was cold and my car was warm so I just drove on to G's house... (his friend). DH went off... he said that there would be more discussion Sunday and if he didn't offer to help get Sis in the truck next time than there were going to be issues.. He said the least you could have done is pulled up your "little boy" pants and got those doors open for her.... DH asked DD about it, she said it was true he waved as he left while she was trying to pull on the doors... She said I didn't want to get him in trouble.. DH said he is more than in trouble... I was sad to hear it, but knew it was true.. it's the way he is... only thinks of himself.. This will make PJ a stronger person and this will probably be the only time the ice keeps her out of the truck (unless it's a storm of it!)

Welp, the game got canceled for tonight.. even a flake of the white stuff falls and they cancel.. they are on our schedule every year and starting when my DsS18 was an 8th grader and thru my DS13 (now the 8th grader)... I think we have played them twice..... I think I've now decided.. they are just scared of us!

Really, I understand it's safety first! WE have a rare night off no practices for anyone or games in DECEMBER!!! OH my, what will we do with our evening.. I guess we'll all just sit around and stare at one another! Guess, I'll finish folding the load of towels, put them away.. Put away the food I was going to take to school...and take a nap....

 

[rlovew]

Well my car was supposed to be ready by 5pm yesterday- DH called earlier and then said they weren't sure when it would be ready. They have had it since last Thursday.

Rebecca

 

[PrincessNancy96]

OH my! I'm so sorry Rebecca.. Hopefully they will get it fixed by tomorrow.
