today I got to open 2 wrapped gifts marked for this date and there were 4 pocket size antibac in all sorts of different cute wintery themes, and 4 purse packs of tissues - uh oh very ominous message from my buddy I'm ok in the cold/flu department knock on wood - its the bad punching technique that I'm struggling with the after affects of today. At Tae Kwon do lessons last night I injured my hand and even with immediate icing it is swollen and black and blue. I had injured it not this summer but the one prior and ever since it is so easy to injure. Who knew a thumb really does make a difference!? try changing a diaper without it gawd. I drive a standard vehicle so it's been a bit trying today with a supersensitive "sausage" thumb - took my parents shopping, little man to dance class, did 4 recipes of baking but very little house work. The only good thing to come out of this is that my dad is taking over my painting duties of the master bedroom and hallway :D I'm sick of painting! tgif
no alarm to set for tomorrow but still a busy day ahead for all of us - treating my parents and daughter to the RWBs' Nutcracker then have to clean the house and do 2 more baking recipes and and and and.... will all sixty of the folks invited to our xmas party show up ? will they all arrive at the same time? I don't think I can handle 23 kids in the house gawd why did I agree to this!?
Please forgive me if I don't post tomorrow in a timely manner.

Darn it, I knew I should have checked the mail today!!! Now I am going to have to get up early tomorrow to make it back to town before noon Thank you again for all the great gifts, this was really a huge treat to be allowed on this train with all you wonderful, special, and impressive women!!!

Sorry, Momto2ks...
All of the gifts have been absolutely WONDERFUL and we love them!
Both kids have been home sick (burning up, but then bringing up the Tylenol, so then try Gravol to be able to keep the Tylenol down to reduce the fever, but Gravol won't even stay down - Ugh!) and then as soon as my hubby gets home, I have been running out to clean the houses I was supposed to clean during the day (thank goodness for understanding clients!), and then trying to squeeze in as much shopping as I can here and there.
These kids have been home for three weeks now, with the exception of 2 and 1/2 days, and I have had a total of 6 hours of sleep the last four days (poor Emma is REALLY feeling this flu at night )
I will try to get pics posted tomorrow afternoon.
Thank You SOOOO much for everything.
We are all so appreciative of all of the wonderful gifts, and especially the time and consideration you put into each one.

THANK YOU

[missbee217]

Thank you for the awesome Christmas Card, Jez!
The kids were super excited, and we hope you have a 'sweet' Christmas, too

Thank you!

[shawlightning]

Congratulations Shaw!!!! Can't wait to see pics and hope that you are feeling good - you're home already!! they sure don't keep you in very long anymore do they?

Went and got the rest of our groceries (I HOPE) and made tacos for supper, something different before the turkey begins!
Then thought we were going to nip out to Home Hardware to get something and ended up being hijacked to Canadian Tire and a bunch of other places. Hubby got some light up palm trees for his Nativity and so he is happily rearranging things and making mountains etc.

Pumpkin - hope you behave tonight somewhat - but have fun too.

I think I might break into my box of Pinot Grigio and watch the Christmas Story.

technically i should have been in for 48 hours but got to come home after about 28. so glad to be home!!!!

[shawlightning]

thank you for all the well wishes!!! we are doing great but little man is fussy........guess i should not have had pizza for supper last nite......lol

[dlee]

great to hear!! can't believe you are already back on here!! you must love us! =)

random note. did you know?!?!1

The word 'coupon' originated from Old French word 'colpon' meaning 'piece cut off' and 'colper' meaning 'to cut'. The word originated in 1822. Interesting!

thank you for all the well wishes!!! we are doing great but little man is fussy........guess i should not have had pizza for supper last nite......lol

Good Morning!

Day 23 from my Bri was Satsuma Face, Body and Hair dry oil - can't wait to try this! AND Satsuma dry oil Body Spray! I will have a hard time keeping this away from oldest DD, she seems to think anything Satsuma belongs to her. I think I might regift it to myself in my stocking so she sees that its FOR ME

Here is what I sent out to my local friends on FB this morning - you can come too!:
Just throwing this out there, wondering if anyone wants to have an impromptu get together this evening to blow off some steam before the mayhem begins. Let us know and we will unlock our door this evening!
We can watch little Ralphie and get soused and eat some good food. Just bring yourselves and your bottle

It's going to be a day of cleaning and tidying here, if we have people coming over it makes me have to do it.

Did anyone get a drunk text from Pumpkin?

[julesie-pie]

um yeah 100...tad excessive I think ! I was hoping to get a few pks...oh well......

I am watching Home Alone ...still funny despite how many times I have seen it !!

ack I have watch nearly as many Christmas a I normally do by this time! DD just wants to watch the cartoon (not that I really mind them, in fact I love them). But she usually doesn't nap, and I have Ben going to bed with her at 7 or 8 for the last 2-3 weeks! Still need to watch Miracle on 34th Street the remake (it took my 4 sittings to watch the original ), Its a Wonderful Life, Home Alone, Home Alone 2, the Santa Clause, Joyeux Noel & I would love to watch White Christmas again but I don't think that is going to happen!

Darn it, I knew I should have checked the mail today!!! Now I am going to have to get up early tomorrow to make it back to town before noon Thank you again for all the great gifts, this was really a huge treat to be allowed on this train with all you wonderful, special, and impressive women!!!

sorry you have to get up early BUT it will be worth it on Christmas morning!
