Monday's Blog!

It is very cold here today and rainy. I was a little disappointed that we did not get any snow today, as was T as she really wanted another day out of school!! It was a really nice Thanksgiving break, and we had a wonderful time at my sister's. I have started decorating for the Christmas holiday, but do not have my tree yet. I wanted to get an artificial tree, but my daughter will not stand for that, so we are back to another miserable allergy time for me over the holidays!!
Dane is still working from home as his hand is broken, and his fingers on the other hand. Taylor is enjoying calling him "Grace", as she is normally the clumsy one, but I think he outdid her this time. The whining is some better, although it has not ceased yet. Men are such babies sometimes!! I keep telling him that I had 78 stitches after my C-section, and was up the same day..no whining, so this is really not a big deal!!
I was saddened by the report of the man that died at Walmart in NY. How sad that some people value material things more than human life!! I can not imagine, and the situation reminds me of a time when a lady had a really bad accident in MD during rush hour traffic. People were blowing horns and yelling obscenities as traffic was backed up and she lay out on the highway waiting for an ambulance to come and take her to a hospital!! One has to really stop and think about the world and the people that live here..are they really that insensitive to human life???
Until tomorrow...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I have a lot to be thankful for today, and I am so fortunate to have so many things. Also, it is a great time to say a prayer for our military. Many of them are away from their families. I really appreciate what they are doing to keep us safe, and for all the sacrifices that they make for us all!! We are having dinner at my sister's today, so I am thankful that I have family close by to spend the day and I really miss those that are not here this year!! Have a great turkey day!!
Also, for my good friend, Ganny in India and his family...I pray that you all will be safe!! I was so glad to hear that you were safe in Mum bi and out of harm's way!! Stay strong!!

Cold!! BRRRRRRRRRRRR!

It was 29 degrees today!! T is sick. I took her in on Friday for shots and she has been stuffy ever since then! I think the flu nose spray might have caused the stuffiness, but she has not had any other reactions, so I think she will be okay!! This is the first day she has missed school! She had perfect attendance, so I am a little bummed about that!
I have been really busy these past weeks so posting has been scarce! My husband took a fall over Halloween, and broke his wrist on one arm and a finger on each hand, and one of his ribs. He is getting stronger as the days go on, but not able to do much to help out!! And oh, the whining is unbearable!!! I have had to have a few Martini's each night just to cope with having my days rearranged!!! It has been a long three weeks!! We had some relatives visiting (from the hubby's family) , did a lot of painting and prep for that with a handy man that required constant supervision, and a good friend of ours passed away on last Thursday and his funeral was on Sunday. His death was a shock to us all as he was only 51, but he had been ill for sometime. I know we will miss him dearly, especially with the holidays coming up. He was a part of our family after his wife died a few years ago, and we all had adopted him as an uncle. I think my sister and her family will miss him too. She has lost two "best friends" in a few years!! I can't imagine what that feels like! Anyway, I will try to do better on the posts as I have been lacking for awhile now!! Have a great day!!

What kind of muffin are you??

Chris,
I took your muffin test and here are the results:

What Kind of Muffin Are You?
You Are a Bran Muffin
Some people have accused you of being all work and no play. And that does describe you most of the time.You are very career oriented. When you're not working making money, you're working to improve yourself.You have very little room in your life for fluff. You want to live as good of a life as possible.You are competitive and driven. You like to surround yourself with other motivated people.While you are a go-getter, you are by no means self centered. Quite the opposite.You are a caring, together, and stable friend. You are grounded enough to be there for people.

Monday's blog..

It is cold today and very windy! Last week was really busy, so not much time to blog. We had contractors in for new carpet in the basement, painting, and I even got someone in to empty the closets and carry the heavy things up into the attic. I have lots more to do today, but after spending most of the day at Home Depot, it probably won't get done today!! I lost the nuts and bolts to the table that goes into the basement, so I spent hours at Home Depot trying to find the correct fittings so I could put the table back together! So, that is probably the only thing I am going to do!!
I also plan to make French Onion Soup tonight, if I can get time to go grocery shopping!
Over the weekend, we went out to lunch in Acworth and walked into a lot of shops, and it was very relaxing for a change. I got some neat ideas of what I could do to decorate the guest room upstairs. We are having guests in two weeks for a few days, so I need to do something to spruce it up in there.
Well, hope all of you in blog land had a great weekend! I will try to do better with my blogging soon!!

News from T's day!

Today was a "first" dance at T's school. She didn't seem to be nervous, but excited, as she was going to hang out with all her friends. I asked if she was going to dance with a boy, and she said no, gross...oh, the joy I felt when I heard that!! HA!! I don't think I am ready for the "relationship" horrors yet, but I do have information from the best friend that she has two boyfriends..ha! Hopefully, it will stay that way for awhile!! With two, I can rest assured that she will be too busy to think of only one, and that her little heart will remain in tact for at least another year!! I tried to remember what I was like at that age, but it is hard to do at my age. She has had boyfriends since kindergarten, so I expect that I should just be thankful that she is a normal kid and that she is growing up healthy and happy!!
Other news, my step daughter got a ring from her boyfriend last week. She is in college and has a few years left, so she says they are not rushing it. Hopefully, she will make the right choices and he will be the one for her. I have not met him yet, but received an email and a picture of him and the ring. Those modern day ways of communication are a changing!! Oh well, at least she told us!! Have a great day!

Cool! Fall is here!!

It is 58 degrees today and T is getting ready for school. I had to take her to the doctor on Saturday, as she was coughing and stuffy. She got antibiotics, so she is some better today. She is still coughing, but wanted to go to school, so I let her.
The weekend was quiet, as we have been sick for weeks, so we stayed in and ordered food out, and only left the house to go to the grocery store and the doctor. Pretty boring, huh? I am anxious to go to the mountains for the fall to see the leaves and pick some apples. I am hoping we are all well soon, so we can make the trip. Have a great day!
