Jezebel's Surprise Advent Package Train

[YellowTamborine]

GUH.. i lost my search engine when i had to reboot this morning after i couldn't get on line.. how the heck do i get my search engine back? i feel like have my screen is missing. its just the actual website box on top plus the 'tools/home/favs' markers. OI. i hate computers.

I think it's in your view or options menu. I'll have to check for you when I get back on a normal computer. You probably just accidentally hit the hide shortcut somehow...or they've done an update and your computer is being pissy about it. I swear technology has a mind of its own sometimes

[MrsSunshine]

lol i'd have to agree with ya there Tam.. its a little pissy. i'd appreciate your help. when i clicked back on my internet after rebooting it it gave me the option of upgrading to IE9 i said no and tried to close it. bam it did it anyway. then took my search area with it. grrr.

Here is my boy last year and the year before last, I can't believe how much he has changed his looks this year. He's growing up to fast

I feel like I've missed so much in this thread lately, as I've been so busy!

IEPs (Individual Education Plans) went home by today in Ontario elementary schools. As a Spec. Ed. Teacher that meant assessing, consulting, preparing, editing and sending home 60+ IEPs for students requiring accommodations, modifications, and alternative education.

It's the law that these documents be sent home by the 30th day of school. So any parents in Ontario with students on IEPs, be sure that you receive your son or daughter's updated IEP for this school year.

I'm now able to devote more of my time to teaching these amazing kids at school and this thread at home, now that these documents have been updated.

Got IEP's for two of my kids this week. One is in a Gifted program and another in a Special assistance, make it for a very different reading material LOL

Coupons or gifts? I'd live either, I think just the fact of opening gifts is enough to put a smile on my face!

Right about now I wish I was working today LOL My days off are super busy with errands and I have no time to check SC hehe

Pumpkin your tree is beautiful!!

Thank you!

Awwww your kid lets are sooo cute!! I love Santa pics and babies and holy presents pumpkin,, haha

Ya, I know.. But those are all of the presents to us from my mom, dad & grandma. We usually work with a $200 Christmas budget to each other BUT we shop ALL year. And, because I love to open presents... EVERYTHING is wrapped. Socks, underwear a bottle of hairspray... I mean everything

Oh, I STILL believe in Santa. So much, that I don't know if it is my mom, hubby, grandma or all 3 of them but I wake up to presents every year from Santa.

[YellowTamborine]

Me too to all of the above. I love it! Last year I split up a whole package of my husbands new socks and wrapped each one of them on their own just for kicks. I thought it was hilarious...him not so much hahaha

K, so I'm a total Facebook air head... if I didn't have to update my work page, I'd rarely log in. I've added a few of you as friends from PammieD's page (who's real names I recognize!) however, I dont' see the "Slimpossible" group...

Please tell me what I'm doing wrong

[bluzsuz]

Oh buddy,

are you offended if someone gets you treats at bulk barn and puts them in a tin or baggie??

not at all!!

3 more gifts needed then I'm ready to wrap!

Oh mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, you're killing me here. I have everything mapped out just have to DO it now. Payday tonight and I plan on hitting the town tomorrow for a bit.

Buddy would you prefer me to send some FPC's / HV coupons, or all presents.

makes no difference to me!

I have fibromyalgia. i have found that by watching what i eat i have managed to keep it under control. i had done some research and was able to find an article about food to avoid and by watching what i eat and what flares it up, i have managed to keep it under control, drug free.
they wanted to put my on a whole bunch of heavy duty meds to help control it but at the time my son was 3 and i did not want to be doped up on everything. don't get me wrong, i still have days where it flares up, but the odd day i can handle.

I was off work for almost 2 years after a major flare up was misdiagnosed and made much worse with physio etc. that is where the myofacial pain was added in. I was on a cocktail of drugs but now just take Cymbalta - my miracle drug and amitryptiline at night. I tried to drop the amitryptiline but I can't, I just get too sore, I have restless legs too lol and this seems to help that. MSG is a big enemy of mine too, I get hungover from it.

Last Christmas, my DD was only 3 wks old

awww, she is so sweet. what is her bday - my youngest is the 8th of Dec.

Here is my boy last year and the year before last, I can't believe how much he has changed his looks this year. He's growing up to fast

It's scary how fast they grow up, you have one handsome little man there!!

I picked up so many great gifts for you today buddy!

On a side note,
I decided to adopt a kitty, his owners had to give him away because their son is allergic. He's a 3 year old beautiful boy and we have a 1 year old girl. Unfortunately he hates her and us and has been hiding under the bed growling for the past day..I'm not really sure what I can do to make this easier on him. Anyone have advice?

[bluzsuz]

I love your tree too Pumpkin - something like that would NEVER be allowed in our house lol, hubby is a real tree all the way guy. I would love to have a couple of trees, one of them just for ME and made really pretty and perfect.

[bluzsuz]

Here is an off topic question - I am the manager of our local pipe and drum band - we are desperate for funds, in a culturally rich province there is very little available in the way of grants etc. to help save small organizations like ours
what are some neat and interesting fundraisers we could do?
We do an Xmas Basket and an Easter Basket raffle, we rely on parades for $$ too, we had two cancellations this fall which lost us a possible $800. Just wondering what neat stuff might be out there for us to try.

[MrsSunshine]

oh Blu.. enjoy your real tree's.. i wish hubby is allergic to pine. and cats. i joke with him that if he ever left this earth my first xmas without him i'd have a real tree and a new kitten


Pumpkin your white tree on the right is very much like mine. last year 2010 when I had my green tree i had all sorts of sizes of balls in blue/silver. and it looked awesome.. *sigh* then i found my white tree sold my green one.. then last xmas i put up the white one thinking its going to look awesome. but for some reason. it just doesnt' float my boat. it doesn't look as full. as the green one did. im kinda hoping i can find something to fill it in (maybe this year) like boah's or even tulle to fill in the branches. its quite spaced out. so even with the huge ornaments and the rest i have it looks empty. hubby has its fine. less is more. but i like my tree to look really FULL. and as i don't want to do anything else but the tree, thinking if i can focus all my effors on the tree it may turn out better. hoping to find some treasure tomorrow to help. i'd post my tree but apparently im not skilled enough to know how.
