You didn't think I'd let that slide by, did you?
Cruisin said:Hi Cally.
Sorry to hear about your family troubles, it's always something isn't it
You should have just told them you were going out and then took the boys off to McDonald's or something for the night.
You got a huge meal together on a few hours notice? You must be superwoman
I guess I just must have had morning sickness because by noon I felt pretty much back to normal again
but the company...

My mom called about 45 minutes ago and it worked fine then. I just went upstairs and the extension light was on but the phone line is dead We had that happen once last week too but they were working on the next road over, I wonder what's happening tonight? It's okay because we don't really use the phone all that much and we all have cell phones anyway if someone really needs to get us.
Yes, thank you. More below.Hollyann said:

, unfortunately, not that far away. 12-15 cars involved, there's still not a clear story, altho there might have been on the 10pm news, but I didn't watch/listen. , school doesn't start 'til 8:20. Within minutes we were all UP tho. I was relaxed, having no work, and made them both breakfast.....very simple, micro pancakes and micro pre-cooked bacon. Hey, we gotta be fast in the AM. Got to school and went in and asked Kelly's teacher about yesterday. She confirmed the story and was quite upset herself, as was the student teacher. She 'suggested' I get a few other parents and take it to a 'higher authority', which was my intention all along. I did get one other Dad, and he and his wife are SOOOO onboard, but he wants to wait until next week to approach the principal (small groups, repeating the information), where the other mom & I went in to talk to the principal after school today. We asked that a school-wide reminder be sent out Again, reminding parents to keep their sick kids home. Not sure it's going to do ANY good, as this same mom brought her DS to school today, toting a box of Kleenex for him. These poor kids being dragged out when they feel so lousy. 
Not to mention exposing OUR kids! 
I also learned that last week's strep 'notice' was because of her DD, and it was self-diagnosed! No Dr., no antibiotics, just a strep scare for the whole school! I truly think this woman seeks attention for herself, while not giving a kay-rap about her kids. jmho And, the student teacher told me that when the girl came to school yesterday, altho briefly , she had a fever of 100.5, but the mom didn't think it was anything! It's like she put her DD on display, so we would all sympathize with the mom for having a sick kid. This may all seem petty, and I'm just venting, but this mother has a history, which the principal now knows about.
is in the oven, the ham is in the roaster, the stuffing is in the bird, and I'll make extra dressing in a bit, the 9 pies (pecan, apple, pumpkin and brownie) are ready for dessert!!! Now time for a cup of joe!!!
(not a lot of patience here)!!
that's probably getting old already....need a new song.....wedding march??

....so we can keep each other close...

We are eating leftovers or whatever you find yourself tonight, since it is mom's dance night
Congratulations Betsy on the weight loss. Keep up the good work.
It was one year ago this week that I started on my weight loss journey and I'm still hovering at the 30 pounds lost plateau.
It is a very blustery, cold day here in the Great White North
Left us with two turkey legs that we ate up yesterday
