Jezebel's Surprise Advent Package Train

[pumpkin9211]

Postive thoughts going out to anyone who is in the path of the storm. We are supposed to get the tail end and that is scary enough for me.

Pinterest is really starting to monopolize far too much of my time....

Scrolling through tonight I found a couple of super cute ideas for those of us with small children and I thought I'd share.

First idea (which I think I might do) mail a Christmas story to your little one from Santa that you can read together christmas eve. So cute! Especially when they start to write to Santa and Santa replies.

Second idea is to wrap up 25 Christmas books and put them in a special story corner. Each night your kids get to open a new book for their bedtime story. Twist on an advent calendar. I love this idea even though I'm pretty sure it will backfire on me until they get a bit bigger.


Also I now need some of those giant heavy duty paper clips for a new craft that Pinterest has led me to believe I can do....

thanks all - and hugs back to you too. We are still leaking, and shop vac-ing every 1/2 hour or so and waiting for the GUY to get back to us. I am off to work for the day so hubby is taking the day off to deal with it.

I attempted cake ppops for the first time last night - can't say that I would do that again. I will let my Girl Guides test them out at their Halloween Party tonight.

I had hoped to get some shopping done when I was in the city this weekend, the other Guider I travel with ususally has extra meetings and I take off for a bit but she didn't have them this time I did manage to pick up one item and stumbled on it my accident.

Hope you all have a great monday!

Baby making isn't always this chaotic, right? I'm back in the friggin' hospital b/c my cervix won't close (not sure why yet...waiting for the dr to go over my ultrasound results with me). This wk was already scheduled full of dr's appointments (mine I've had to cancel this morning and the receptionist is a raging *insert horrible adjective here*). Apparently leaving a msg saying "I'm back in the hospital b/c of excessive blah blah blah & my cervix won't close so I'll need to reschedule" causes her to get the prescription I was supposed to get called in today to NOT get called in - not even a wk's supply until I get another appointment. Note - I've been on this prescription for about 6 yrs & go in every 3 mos to do a 'check up' on it. There's never been a problem getting a few days worth called in to bridge me over. The request was faxed in thursday pending my appt this morning and they still hadn't approved a week's refill.

I guess this family practice/check up pulls rank over excessive bleeding & ER doctors holding me here til it's resolved. Sorry lady! I'm doing the best I can with prioritizing here! (Sorry, I love my dr, but I can't stand her receptionist b/c she is always so rude & acts like patients are inconveniencing her. So Don & I are switching over to a Family Practice at St Mike's (our specialists etc are all here). Alexa had her first appt this afternoon at 3 actually, but surprise! I have to call & reschedule that too! Booo!

Sorry, super frustrated & wanna knock someone's heads together. Not really, but I would love a punching bag and a soundproof room right now!

K, that's all I've got.

[MrsSunshine]

aww Pam. so sorry to hear that. you take care of yourself. try not to do anything serious to anyone yet lol. i was SO overjoyed when my kids dr's secretary retired. i can relate. you grit your teeth every single time you saw her. im even more grateful they are able to see the dr. alone now.
praying for a quick and healthy recovery Pam. where's babe while your in. with you or at home.

Hang in there Pam! I had a phone call with my BMO mortgage centre this morning that left me feeling pretty much the same way. I was so frustrated I was ready to call my branch and have them close all my accounts because the guy was just so rude and argumentative. Thankfully, I took a deep breath and was able to get thru to my own branch, who had the issue resolved in 20 min.

Hopefully the Dr's will get you all fixed up and on your way home soon!

Pammie, I hope things get better soon.

Just for a little laugh for those that need it...

Ran across this on pinterest on the weekend, laughed so hard I almost peed a little!



Kinda reminded me of Joey from Friends with the turkey on his head. I figured I'd keep this photo on file, and whenever I have clients complaining about not sleeping on long flights.. I'll offer them up this little gem.

Apparently it's called the "Ostrich", a private sleeping device you can use anywhere, lol! Notice the holes on the top that are like pockets for your hands if you're sleeping face down...

Unfortuately with being a single mom of 2 - it is just impossible to hand out candy and go out treat or treating

We alternate years with handing out candy and going out, so this year they are going out

But last year we gave out ALL the bad stuff, sorry but Halloween only happens once a year and they look forward to candy!! The only thing that people should NOT BE HANDING OUT on halloween is those gross candies that are in the orange/black wrapping, many older people like them but I do not know what child does!

Also "Red" his beta fish could use some new things

I just dropped his fish tank on the kitchen floor and it smashed , used a spatula and a bowl to pick him up, ewwwww gross!! He is now currently sitting in a pot on the stove

Now to go see if I can save any of the rocks and things that were in the tank - anyone know how long it would take a 5yr to notice his fish is missing???
