Afternoon! It was a busy day filled with errands. Now I'm home and working on load three of laundry. I pulled the flannel sheets out and they are in the washer. I have two more small loads to do and then I'm done. They might wait until tomorrow.
I hope Jennifer stops in and shares her news. We're ALL waiting on pins and needles
Nikki - you are such a wonderful aunt/sister/daughter/granddaughter. Will be praying for all.
I would love to open mine on Christmas morning or afternoon. I pick up the kids at noon. It'll be the first time in several years that I will have something to open on Christmas!

Alexander's stepmom (Baltimore City DA) is in this video about a major arrest. Robyne is almost at the very end of the clip wearing black & white - don't blink.

I am good for late afternoon or evening of Christmas day.
Tonight, I thought my husband was acting weird. We had made
plans to meet at a nice restaurant for dinner. I was
shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was
upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no
comment on it. Conversation wasn't flowing, so I suggested
that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk. He agreed, but
he didn't say much.
I asked him what was wrong; He said, "Nothing." I asked him
if it was my fault that he was upset. He said he wasn't
upset, that it had nothing to do with me, and not to worry
about it. On the way home, I told him that I loved him. He
smiled slightly, and kept driving.
I can't explain his behavior I don't know why he didn't say,
"I love you, too." When we got home, I felt as if I had lost
him completely, as if he wanted nothing to do with me
anymore. He just sat there quietly and watched TV. He
continued to seem distant and absent. Finally, with silence
all around us, I decided to go to bed. About 15 minutes
later, he came to bed. But I still felt that he was
distracted and his thoughts were somewhere else. He fell
asleep -- I cried. I don't know what to do. I'm almost sure
that his thoughts are with someone else. My life is a
disaster.

I am good with that....I work at 1:30 and would enjoy opening in the am.
How about we open anytime that day that suits us?
I like that idea! Post here when we all can! It won't bother me if my person opens a day early or late if that's when they want to because I want them to enjoy it!

Yesterday my divorced friend kidnapped me and we went to a spa on the coast for a massage. She didn't want to go alone. We spent most of the day there - had a workout, hot tub, etc.
Today I am working on laundry and my paper!

Afternoon! Had another great morning at church. A friend insisted on teaching for me so I could go into church. What a blessing!
Now I'm going to do laundry, ironing and (hopefully) spend some time working in the kitchen. I have little things that need to be taken care of and want to clean the lower cabinets. Don't know that it will all happen, though!

A spa day sounds wonderful!! Hope you're feeling relaxed and ready to face the week.
We went to bed at 11:30. Brandon woke up at 4:00am and went downstairs because he couldn't sleep. I woke up when he came back to bed and then I couldn't sleep! I got out of bed at 5:30am and finally went back to bed at 8:00am when he got up with Preston. I woke up for the final time at 10:30am and now it's almost noon!
It was fun, but actually a little stressful! It was her treat, which made me feel guilty and she wanted to spend hours there. I would have preferred to walk the beach for a bit as it was gorgeous! It was nice to get a massage - it was over far too soon (just a half hour massage). I feel overwhelmed with all I have to do for school/housework/etc.

Jen - sorry you are feeling overwhelmed. It is that time of year to begin with and you have added stress of school.
Jen - I had a hard time sleeping last night as well. I did fall asleep okay, but woke up at 2:30 and had trouble falling back to sleep. That doesn't usually happen for me. I thought I'd be exhausted today but I'm doing okay so far. I've ironed what needed to be done, working on laundry (Julie had more than I thought and I'm being nice and doing hers with ours). Bill is vacuuming for me. Since I ironed, I knew if I did both my back would not be happy. So far I'm doing okay.
After he's done vacuuming he said he'd wash the kitchen floor for me as well. I have some cleaning to do in there (stuff gathered on counters, baking stuff I dragged out and haven't put back) but I can do that later or even tomorrow.
It's just us here for Thanksgiving so the house doesn't have to be spotless (although it never is anyway). I'll continue working on things this week as my parents are coming the Monday after Thanksgiving.
Jen good luck with your papers, i hate WRITTING PAPERS . and taking my online classes for school last year were so bad cause every class had to do a paper in it.
hope you all had a great day today, i went to kmart, walmart and to academy sports store today to see what was going on. i did get nephews underwear, socks and tshirts, and pajama pants today. also academy sports had the oldest's skateboard he wanted on sale and the younger wanted a scooter so i got those two things today as well. need to pick up a few more things and i will be done with christmas first time in YEARS that I have been done before xmas got here.
hope you all have a great week. we will be leaving on Wed to head to a cabin in Pigeon Forge, DH and I will just go hang out for the Turkey Day. We will come back on Saturday. I cant wait to just get away and relax, I will not have internet there hopefully i will make it lol .
Nikki - you're so kind to give gifts to people in need. That's what Christmas should be about. Hope you have a very relaxing holiday weekend away!
I keep looking at the clock - I'm so ready to go to bed and get a good nights sleep! I may take a melatonin tonight because I have a busy day scheduled for tomorrow and I can't be sleepy!
I have far too much to do today and here I sit! LOL
My new position requires me to go back to school, I am 3 year diploma RN, need to go to a BSN. I can't handle school and learning a new job so I am waiting until Spring (Jan) or Summer to start.
There are various options...but honestly the classroom courses with working full time would burn me out. So I am choosing the UW system's online completion program...
I have had so many science and nursing courses.... all I really need in nursing is the public health element...
Could they do a program with just that? NO...
So I have to take things like, cultural changes, ethics, etc...I sense you get the drift....it is sad for the 3 yr diploma RNs esp because we had such an excellent nursing education. And to have to go back and take unrelated things just to get a BSN seems so redundant.
Sara posted this on FB and asked if I would share this with the misfits so if you have some stuff to unload....
Sara Farist Thanx Mrs. Cat I know you always have been And hey while I got you here, could you do me a favor and ask the misfits if anyone has any extra paper, old ink pads or any other scrapbooking stuff they are looking to get rid of? If so I WOULD LOVE to have it...I am trying to get back into it but lost all my stuff when the ex and I divorced so any craft room cleaning donations anyone might have I would be more than happy to accept them.....especially paper, cardstock, embellies, just anything really....I am willing to reimburse for shipping also if needed...Maybe Mrs. Michelle will be cleaning hers out soon
