Is this central time? I will be at work, which is probably a good thing lol

Enabler Alert!

As I was flipping channels, I saw a bunch of Disney jewelry so I stopped to watch the commercial. It was for a QVC Disney Jewelry show that is on tomorrow at 5pm. Some really cute stuff!!

This weather messes with my sinuses as well . I wish it would decide if it is going to stay cold or warm! Hope you feel better soon

Is anyone here? I am feeling absolutely horrible today! I can't believe how stuffed up my head is. I wish I knew whether it was sinuses or an actual cold. I'm thinking sinuses because the weather changed again and this is the kind of weather that drives my sinuses crazy lately. I think I'll be going to the doctor and demanding an allergy test. It used to only last a month or two but this has been a problem for at least 3 months now.

I'm here off and on! I'm making peanut brittle and so I'm in and out between batches. I've always been afraid of making brittle, but I found a great microwave recipe, that is really idiot proof (and it tastes just like my grandma's brittle)! If anyone wants the recipe, let me know! Trust me, if I can do it, ANYONE can do it!

I'm so sorry that your sinuses are acting up! Do you have any meds for it? Have you seen your doctor yet? We can't have you feeling yucky for Christmas.

Yes, please. I'd like the recipe.

No, I haven't seen the doctor yet. It wasn't that bad and I was hoping it was just sinuses. I didn't expect the weather to stay this way for so long.

That reminds me: I sent out the first batch of Christmas cards yesterday, and like an idiot, I forgot to include my first name. So, some of you will be getting cards that just say Neves on the envelope. That's from me! Sorry to be so dopey, but that's what you get when you are trying to do a couple of things at one time!

Did you realize you got the latest milestone? I was wondering who would get it. I was afraid to post because I was afraid I'd accidentally get it.

Wow I did not realize we were that close. Congratulations Glynis!!

Congrats on the milestone, Glynis!

Hmm. It appears I will need to order the Brio tracks from Amazon. But I think I will mull it over for awhile before I order.

DS did get a gift in the mail yesterday from Toys R Us that he is not at all interested in, so he will get credit for that. BUT they don't have any track packs so that sort of messes up that plan.

Well I got my talk in with Abi....We had decided before hand that we would only ground her through Christmas Eve like her sister is. The thing is she is being bullied by three girls...she mentioned them for a FIFTH time in conjunction with having a bad day. So I got on the phone and talked to her teacher and the Vice Principal. When I mentioned the names of these girls...both said "oh, but**** hasn't been in school all week". That doesn't mean the little princess hasn't been bullying my child!! I told both the teacher and VP that I told Abi it didn't excuse her behavior but I think this might have factored into her bad day. The VP said "I did a talk in her class on Friday and I felt that it went great and the bullies were put in their place." I'm thinking that didn't stop these three.

Now I get to try and get specifics from Abi !!

Congrats, Jen on getting one semester closer to being a teacher!!

Are you getting excited to meet your teacher tomorrow??

 

[babytrees]

Vicki-

I hope you feel better soon!!

 

[Tammi67]

Glynis - congrats on the milestone.

Vicki - I hope you feel better soon.

Jen - Woohoo! I'm so happy for you. I remember that feeling well.

Anne Marie - Thanks for the card. Great picture!

We are off to Alyssa's daycare Christmas performance. I'll be back on later tonight.

No, I haven't seen the doctor yet. It wasn't that bad and I was hoping it was just sinuses. I didn't expect the weather to stay this way for so long.

Ok, here is the recipe:

Microwave Peanut Brittle

1 C. sugar
1/2 C. light corn syrup
1 C. raw (spanish) peanuts
1 tsp. butter or margarine
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda

Butter a cookie sheet. Combine sugar and corn syrup in a microwaveable bowl. Microwave 4 minutes on High. Stir in peanuts. Microwave on High 3-5 minutes or until light brown (my microwave does this in 4 and a half minutes). Stir in butter and vanilla; blend well. Microwave on high 1-2 minutes (peanuts should be lightly browned). Add baking soday and stir gently until light and foamy. Pour onto buttered cookie sheet. Let cool 30 minutes. Break into pieces to serve.

I didn't realize we were close to one. I edited my post. Thanks for bringing it to my attention! I haven't had a milestone since 9000. So, this feels pretty good!

Good luck! I'll be thinking good thoughts for you while you try to sort it all out! I just hate bullies!

Has anyone every had a steam burn? Last night I was cooking crockpot chicken and dumplings (faboo recipe, by the way!). I had forgotten that the handle on the lid was broken, so I kind of had to wedge a spoon under the lid to lift if off the crockpot. As I was doing that, I got a horrible burn on my thumb from the steam! Oh my goodness, can we say PAINFUL!!!!!!! I put it under cold water, I slathered it with butter, I put Vaseline on it, but nothing helped! I finally just wrapped ice in a towel and held it on the burn. It helped for a while. After dinner, I found a can of Solarcaine in the bathroom from last summer's boating trip where Katie forgot to put on any sunscreen (can we say LOBSTER???), and sprayed that on my thumb. It worked for about 30 minutes and then I had to respray! That went on throughout the night. At about 2:00 I woke up and realized that my thumb didn't hurt anymore, so I was able to sleep soundly after that.

Anyway, steam burns, OUCH!!!!!

Yikes!! I hate steam burns....I had a cook at the preschool Cassidy attended say something to someone after they asked me about the burns all over my arms....they thought hubby had done it to me. The cook said nope she's a good cook!! We then went on to compare bruising, burns and scars!!
