Just got a frantic call from my mom. Seems like a huge pine tree in her yard just blew down across the street taking with it the power and telephone lines. Sounds like it missed the neighbor's house across the street.
It's 20 degrees here and blowing a gale. Looks like I will have her and step dad over here for the day until they get the power turned back on. Off to tidy up the house before heading over to pick her up. I hadn't planned on entertaining them today...They have the street blocked off, so gonna have to bundle up and walk.
Makes you proud, doesn't it? He'll learn it all eventually. Might as well learn the situations that it's okay to say them and when it's not okay.
Barb, you are so bad. We don't ever want to remove the stiffness on purpose, do we?
ya dun real gud kidDid I do it? I think I did it. Unless someone is posting right this minute, I'm caught up.
and....what did you find??? And, amazing what a good ole big fart can do for ya..... I live with him too..... (glad it wasn't a "sick"....rather be gas than sick anyday )I'm off to find my children, who are frighteningly quiet. Oh, I forgot... Barb asked about Daniel and he's fine. He seemed to correct his tummy troubles himself when he passed some horrific smelling gas. No complaints after that!
How'd that go? Any pix? Did they have fun? Was Brad along, or was he working again?On the agenda today: Take the boys to the Christmas on the Square (our town square is tiny, but fun) and let them play and shop at the Secret Santa store.
A grownup night out with my friend Leta!
Hey I finally rolled over 2000 posts! It only took me 6 1/2 years. Think I could possibly get close to 3000 by the end of the year???
WON THE GAME 27 - 24! PAYBACK! That was the biggest hurdle to State. Cocoa is next and, not to talk trash or anything, they don't have a chance.
YIKES!
Tall trees are scary during windstorms. At my old house, there was a large oak in the back yard. Hurricane Charley uprooted it. Thankfully, the tree went AWAY from the house and into the empty lot behind. If it went toward, it would have crashed into the living room.
HERE WE GO!
7-4 Seattle @ 5-6 Philly philly wins it
My collapsing, sucked like hell last week 7-4 Giants at 5-6 Chicago.....I am still so mad I dont care!
Hi guys! Bet you've all forgotten me again!
Isn't it amazing that the Packers' just HAPPENED to be in Denver when he went out there for business and just HAPPENED to be in Detroit when we were home. Aren't these amazing coincidences!
Anyways, we're in the midst of a winter storm warning. Saying 4-7 inches, but it's been snowing like crazy all afternoon.
Eric (DS12) played at the mall today for Christmas music (piano).
I spent much of the day yesterday at Walmart, getting my snow tires put back on my car (along with the rest of the Green Bay population). Nothing like waiting until the last minute. DH took his car to Walmart as well -
Meanwhile, DS15 and DH are out practicing driving in the snow (well, actually DS15 is - I think DH has had some practice with it in the past! ). Hope they come home with my car still in one piece!
Well, I'm off to work on the Christmas stuff. ..... I only have left to:
Wrap about a zillion presents.
Ship most of those presents.
Write a newsletter.
Make Christmas cards.
Print out 100 Christmas cards, one side at a time (this is never a fast or easy process since I can do 3 max at a time without jamming the printer)
Set up the Christmas tree.
Hang up 3.5 zillion ornaments.
Well, guess that's a start point!
TY UPDATE:
Evidently, my niece got her communication mixed up and she was unable to make definite plans for today (Saturday). Anyhoo, today was the first day "spectators" were allowed on the site. The construction schedule has them finishing up on Thursday. I am going to check with some of my business contacts and see if I can score some tickets to the reveal party. If not, I may go over Monday or Tuesday night.
My men just left for the WVU-PITT game tonight. It is going to be COLD! DS12 has:
underarmour shirt
T-shirt
hoodie
football shirt to go over hoodie
his winter coat
my winter coat (due to my "petite" size, it will fit over all of this)
I don't know how he is going to move!!!
I am off to Wal-Mart - going to pick up a couple of gifts and my game snacks for tonight.
Catch you all later.
-Jennifer-
