.no we don't do stockings. Only did it for kiddo when very young. Now I just up stocking stuffer things under her giant lighted holiday bear decoration she has in her back game room. I just put the presents around the bear and she just checks out what is there and that is her stocking HAHA
hey, no there is nothing wrong with buying what you like and putting it in your own stocking, in fact we prefer that right? So we get what we truly want?
What your DS said is hysterical....his childhood has run its course!! Too funny!!
Your kids are so active in outside stuff, not my kid. No sports or no activites. Has 0 interest in any of it. Her life is her Xbox and phone. Then I drag her out to hike and kayak and she loves it when I drag her out, but she just won't do things like that on her own. Eh, she is who she is, I just let it happen
Cool DS is performing in the band and will watch. Your time is slowly leaving on all this stuff. All your kids getting older, enjoy what is left of 'the childhoods'. Time flies doesn't it?
Yes have the boys do the Come to Jesus talk with MIL. I know it is super hard for her, she sees her hubby maybe not improving fast and a decline happening, she changed homes and living with others and lost that independence. I can see her being a pill, causes heck I can put me in her place and I would be a pill for sure HAHA But I know in my heart if it comes down to things like this when a lot older with my kid, I won't be the burden type, I will suck it all up as it has to be and just let it go down ya know....but yea a good talk might help. I am sure it is hard as heck on all of them.
But don't get too in the middle LOL run, run, run
Lori you had me laughing cause I too am ready for Xmas to be over...you want Feb for your trip but heck I say skip that too straight into spring LOL
I didn't know your DH was into jogging? I don't remember you saying he ever goes with you? but like you said, see if he does go?
Hope your gym doesn't get annoying with too many new people. With it being winter so many are inside to exercise now....so yea I get it being more packed. No one wants out in the cold to exercise now...winter is nasty out there, inside warm in a gym is the place to be
Jaz....you are so right....your next 12 weeks are gonna fly by. I think that is why it is important to enjoy your time there. Relax thru it. Soak up the area, the people, as much as you can cause this time will fly for you. You will be heading home to your house, relax a bit and get yourself a new travel position.
hey how early do you need to do that? Like start ckecking about 2 weeks before this gig is over to get a new gig somewhere? interesting how this will go down for you.
Girl you already started your fresh new year a little early
You are into something new and fresh and different and I see nothing but good times for you ahead in your new career. Hey use it for a while, enjoy it all and if you want you can go home and find a job close to your home and do whatever you want....skies the limit for you
HI BLUE! hope your hunkering down on the couch and enjoying your tv and relaxing is good!! I know I like days like that, I have a lot of them
hey all
cold as snot here, but Jaz I bet you are worse!
I hit a great deal on standing rib roast. Beautiful meat. Might have to buy a few more before the sales go off. I like they made smaller sizes of these roasts, usually they are big and hard to handle. They cut them into 2 or 3 or 4 prime rib bones together, I grabbed up the 2 bone and 3 bone sizes. I already cut them into slabs of individual ribeye steaks. Ate one up...omg so good. ONLY $5.99/lb. Oh heck yea. I think my freezer needs a few more so going into the new year I have plenty of low cost ribeye in my freezer.
Worth every penny to me
heading to moms later today. usual shop/visit.
kid off school today, no exams etc. heck they don't even want them in school when they don't do exams so easiest she just stay home. She loves it!!! But luckily she is excited to go back after the new year for new classes...so that is good.
just too cold for me. depressing literally. I can't stand it hardly at all. and to think I got new years at the beach. OMG I am praying for warmer weather when we hit there. Checking their weather they are only in the low 60s and 40-50 at night but got alot colder into the 30s.....I am SO hoping for an upswing. I just don't function at all in cold weather any more. It is horrible...truly a 'thing with me'. ugh. I got to find a way to make it work thru winter better for me. Will think on it LOL something to focus on and take my mind off winter some how.
off to get moving...all good, hope everyone has a great day
