Good Morning, Paul got the JOB! He starts on Dec 3rd. We're super excited, Paul can't wait to start, being at home all day isn't for him.
Sorry so many of you are not sleeping ,I know that feeling well. Paul commented that with him going back to work maybe I can start sleeping again. I'm hoping so.
When Ruth's grandson Jordan was 5, he always told everyone
he wanted to be a doctor when he grew up. One day he was
running through the house and into the corner of a chair and
hurt his eye. He cried for a while and kept saying, "Oh no,
oh no, now I can't be a doctor when I grow up."
Ruth assured him he could still be a doctor and Jordan kept
telling her he couldn't.
Finally she asked, "Why can't you be a doctor?"
Holding one hand over his eye, Jordan said, "Because now I
will have to be a pirate!"
Heather - Congrats to you and Paul! I'm very happy for you!
My scrap/stamping/crafting area is a huge mess! I like to clean up before I go out of town, but did not make it this time around! Guess it will be waiting on me when I get back! I really hate to leave such a mess! I think I'm a little OCD!
Good morning! It is beautiful outside - sunny!! We're supposed to see the sun for the rest of the week.
Jennifer - you know where are thoughts head, don't you?! Can't wait to hear your news though!
I was terrible last night. I have not given in to my carb cravings since starting Nutrisystem but last night I fell. Fell badly. BUT, today is a new day, I'm starting over. I'm glad there is not a "three strikes, you're out" rule!
The dishwasher is running but I have a few pots/pans to wash. Then I HAVE to make banana bread. Those bananas I mentioned the other day are still waiting to be used. Plus, I have two in the freezer. I'll make some loaves and freeze them for when I give them as treats in December!
Joan love the new (prek job) and i am still at publix just this month i have had so much going on that i took saturdays off. i do work this saturday 11-615 so not that bad of a day. i hope i remember how to run the register LOL been gone awhile.
well we had our feast today at work for the kiddos and teachers, i must say i NEED to cook for everyone lol not sure what we were eating today but the dressing wasnt dressing, turkey was ok, but all my greenbean casserole was gone and all my deviled eggs were gone. everyone said nichole we LOVE your food. that made me feel good. but they said next year you can cook the whole thanksgiving meal. I guess born and raised in the South and raised by a mother that LOVES to cook has helped.
I wonder why I even started my Craft Room!!! My back and knee are really hurting the last few days, so I've been taking my pain meds and pushing on!!! I''m at the point where I just can't do things by myself. I have 3 rolled-up 5x8 rugs in there, and boxes that I have loaded that need to go to the garage or the basement. Bob just sits on his bum!!! This weekend, I asked him to clear an area in the basement to store some of the boxes that I've packed. I went down there this afternoon, and he hasn't done anything. He has come home from work everyday this week and sat and watched TV the rest of the day and evening!!! So, I guess I'm going to have to work in the basement tonight and tomorrow. I guess when he gets home tomorrow, he will get the hint!!! At least I'll know it's done right!
Thanks for letting me vent again! I really don't have anyone else to complain to, so you don't know how much I appreciate having my misfit friends to keeping me from exploding!

Heather - I forgot to congratulate you and Paul on his new job! That is great news.
Linda - don't overdo it. But I do understand. I am thankful that it usually only takes a few hints to get Bill to move some of the boxes and such for me. Most of the time. But I have boxes in the attic I want moved so I can sort them and (hopefully) get rid of a lot. I've been asking for that for quite awhile . . .
Joan - I'm sorry you aren't in a good mood. I often get going in the negativity department.
Just to let you know that my computer is acting up. If it needs repaired, It is a trip to St Louis. I can always get a PM on FaceBook if that happens, and you need to get ahold of me.
I am getting ready to start in the dungeon (basement). Remember, I told you that my husband told me he cleared an area for storing the things that I am packing up from the Spare bedroom. I have 3 5x8' rugs that need to be stored, and several boxes. Well, I went down there, and all he is doing is basically "throwing" things on top of others, higher than I can reach!!! So, NOW I have to take the time away from my Craft Room and work in the Basement for who knows how long!!! I'm NOT happy with him!!!
My back and knee is about at #10+ for pain! I am really bummed out because I know it is just getting worse. The pain medication isn't working much, and I know that isn't good. I feel too young for this to be happening. I got a few loads of laundry done today, but as far as the basement goes, things are too heavy and up too high. I'm crying as I write this,...I'm so frustrated and hurt in so many ways, and in some ways I want to give up. I wanted a lot more for my life!!!
It's just a little after 5pm, and I think I'll just take my night meds and go to bed for the night. That's the only way I can get out of this hole.
I hope some of you, any of you can understand what I am feeling, and don't just think I'm weird or something. I was hoping that getting my Craft Room would keep me from the depression,.....wrong. This time starts the worst time for me. I'm sorry for dwelling on this, but thanks for being there. I don't have anyone else.

Oh Linda how very sorry I feel for you going through all of this. Sending baskets of love, hugs, encouragement and prayers. <3 <3 <3
Took advantage of a super coupon at a salon instead of going to my friend's salon (in her home). Cut, style color for $50, had to wait extra time so they gave me 20% off of that which was a good deal; however am going back to my friend next time.
I slept most of the day away. Had a nasty migraine. It was warmish and after having cold weather I just do not tolerate the temperature changes well. I feel like I wasted the day, not have to work the next three days!
Linda, I am so sorry for all of the pain you are dealing with. Oh my goodness!! I am worried about you!
well just got word that they are calling hospice in for my granddaddy. i am so glad i was able to spend time with him the weekend they came to Pigeon Forge he LOVES that place and so I feel like I was blessed to spend time with him in a place where he loves. He has been sick for awhile with cancer might have you told you all not sure but the cancer is back and it has spreaded all over he is so weak. They told my mom and aunt and grandmother today it will be about 3 to 6mths maybe. So we will just take it one day at a time.
my mom just text me and said my brother told his boys no christmas this year cause he had no money (really struggling to live day to day) and my oldest nephew said well all I want is a charger for my Ipad that some lady GAVE HIM a few months ago. That makes me sad. I will make sure the boys have a great Christmas. part of this makes me sad at my brother because there are things he could do to save money (instead of buying BEER) makes me MAD but oh well another story .
Jen- my DH says one tenth. I agree with your friend. I am not very good at these!
Nichole- I feel bad for your nephews. However, I have been in your brother's shoes financially a couple of years. They were blessed to have a neighbor who signed them up for a program called the giving tree. They each received a few special packages. it was hard to accept. We felt others were more needy.
Joan i know it does make me sad for them wished that I could do more for them. But hopefully i will be able to help make their christmas this year be great. just going to keep praying. I know there are other people out there WORSE than me and my family. Just keep the prayers going and all will be good.
Sorry I've been gone so long. Since I can't access from work anymore it's been hard to keep up with you all. Miss you all but do catch up a bit on FB with some of you.
Been super busy with work (bought by Ericsson from Sweden) - had to reapply for our jobs, drug testing, etc. Then through Marching Band in it's been hectic.
THEN we got SANDY the hurricane. THEN we got ATHENA the Nor'Easter
And now it's almost Thanksgiving!
FIRST - JOAN! Thank you for the Halloween card. It arrive YESTERDAY. Mail has been VERY slow due to the storms. I mailed my cousin an hour away priority envy on 11.3 and it arrived yesterday, as well. Go figure.
Heather - So happy to hear about Paul's job
Linda - my heart goes out to you and you are in my prayers.
Love to you all, will try to keep in touch better.

Thanks so much Liz - we are extremely proud of Alexander. Could not ask for a better grandson - he has a tremendous loving caring heart that bleeds red, white & blue.
It blessed my heart to see him in his uniform in Leonardtown's Veterans Day Parade. After it was over, they had many speakers in the square and as soon as they played the National Anthem, Alexander ran up to the square, faced the flag and stood with salute. You can well imagine the emotions. <3
lol not sure what we were eating today but the dressing wasnt dressing, turkey was ok, but all my greenbean casserole was gone and all my deviled eggs were gone. everyone said nichole we LOVE your food.
