Thanks! I like it, too! I just hope DH's schedule works out.

 

[Tammi67]

Lindsay - I'm glad your family is getting excited for the trip, and I'm sorry your DB and SIL won't make it. But I agree, it's the best thing for all involved.

Elizabeth - I'm glad you had a nice dinner. I'm sure DS will be thrilled with the surprise.

Jennifer - how was the Melting Pot? I love that place!

Bernadette - you are moving right along on that to-do list.

Evening everyone,

Denise - I am so glad to hear that Rees is doing well. I will continue to keep you guys in my prayers.

Loved all the halloween pictures, unfortunately we didn't take any, Brandon came down with the stomache virus the night before and really was feeling well that night. He did come over and hand out candy, but he didn't want to wear his whole costume.

Tom - each one of your creations it better than the last, love it!

Bernadette - I at least got my suitcases out of storage today. We also had to go and buy some jeans for DH, he recently lost 60 pounds and his old ones are falling off of him, we got him plenty of shorts before our last trip but it looks like the evenings and early mornings will be too cool for shorts. I got myself a light jacket, as my old one has seen much better days. I also called ME and updated my flight information, hopefully it won't change at this late date. PM me your plans if you still want to try and meet up.

I am working tomorrow so I won't be on in the morning,

Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend.

Debbie

Hi, Jen!
I am here for a few more minutes. I need to go wash off my make-up before I get too tired to do it. I can't stay up too late (even with the time change) because I am babysitting for a family tomorrow afternoon and I won't get my customary nap in.

 

[Tammi67]

Oh and I got my MVMCP tickets in the mail today.

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Did you not get the option of printing them out? I did mine on the computer and printed out 3 papers that say "This is your ticket!"

We are back from my In-Laws. My FIL has decided not to have the surgery. He is 84 years old and has decided the pain & recovery aren't worth it. He was told he probably has 6 months to a year. It is his decision. Chuck's brother & sister are having trouble accepting this. Chuck has been preparing Katrina, Becky & I for this for at least a year. This week-end when my mom was here and asked how he was doing, Chuck told her he is preparing for his death (that was before he even had the heart attack). I'm not saying that I'm happy with the decision but I'm trying to be supportive anyways. I keep reminding myself that I don't want him to have the surgery for himself but for us. I understand him not wanting to be an invalid (55% chance of stroke with the surgery). He does have meds to take for his heart and they are watching his sugar levels because they were high yesterday. Otherwise, it is life as usual for him.

I had to call and order them (at least I thought I had to) because we are going on the AP discount night.

Vicki to all of you. I hope you all can come to terms with his decision. especially his other 2 children.

We've been twice, and to MNSSHP twice too. I think I like MVMCP better. I just enjoy the festiveness (is that a word) of the season.

I'm so sorry, Vicki. I hope your family can accept his decision. Hopefully he will be able to live out his final days with dignity, and like Chuck said.....prepare.

I agree I love this time of the year. I hope to be able to go back eventually. I would love to do MNSSHP

Vicki, I know its hard that your FIL has decided no surgery.
that the rest of the family can accept that is what HE wants.



My uncle who passed just after Thanksgiving last year, didn't want treatment. But his wife and youngest daughter insisted and he was in pain and uncomfortable the entire time. And it really did nothing to extend his life in the end.

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

My mom called last night an announced that she is coming to town for Thanksgiving. I told her we are having Thanksgiving with my bosses. She said she will have Thanksgiving with my sister and she will see us another day. She is going to stay with my sister, which is fine, but is about 100 miles away. My sister has Mother watching her kids on Black Friday so she can go out and shop. Mother said I should drive up there and go shopping, too. Um, no thanks! I can shop JUST FINE without driving 100 miles. DS would rather chew his own arm off than go shopping.

My mother is interesting. She doesn't budget at all, and her SS checks will run out in March when my sister turns 16. But Mother doesn't want a job other than her little part time job in a school cafeteria because that will mess up her benefits. Her car is ancient and not reliable, but she is planning to DRIVE down here from Kansas. I told her she should probably rent a car. Not that she should spend the money, but she should NOT try to drive her car. And a rental would get better gas mileage. She refuses to fly. I have offered to buy a ticket for her and my youngest sister to fly down, but NO. My mother frustrates DH to no end, so he wasn't thrilled to hear that she is coming. Hopefully she will stay with my sister the whole time and we will just visit with her. We don't have room for overnight guests, but she did stay with us once. She got very offended last time when I said we have to be QUIET after 8 PM because DH has to get up at 1 AM and go to work. She doesn't like to be told she has to be quiet. Excuse me? If you can't be respectful of DH then you don't need to be sleeping in our living room! I didn't want her to spend the money for a hotel but she was really quite rude when she stayed here. And since we have no idea what DH's schedule will be for that week (I expect it will be ugly!) I am certainly not going to offer to let her stay with us again.

When she was here over Spring Break she just spent a few hours with DS. Her main goal was to spend time with my sister's baby. Now my sister has TWO babies so Mother really needs to come visit them. It irks me that she doesn't seem interested in DS and she is the only grandparent he has.
