KrissiK Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!!!~D Saturday. I slept 10 hours last night. It has been a rough week. It’s quite foggy out this morning. Fog is as white a Christmas as we get. I have to be at church in an hour to practice bells. We play tomorrow. We’re meeting with the realtor this afternoon to go over some stuff. Hopefully DH can get the Christmas lights up this afternoon. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 My least favorite part of being a camp director is poking people (ie. nagging them gently) to get them to do what they are supposed to do. It would be easier to just do it all myself but I am supposed to have only one job. . . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I think my SIL has completely ruined our relationship since the engagement. Just complete and total disregard for our family on a near daily basis. On a positive note, the way the kids gush over Alex is just ridiculous. And I have a pony tail again. Sort of. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an idea. I will post our church’s website , http://www.reedleymbc.org/?sapurl=Lys5cWhnL2xiL2xpLytkNG45NzVrP2VtYmVkJmJyYW5kaW5n and you can stream the service. With the time difference, it will likely be afternoon for you. Then you can watch us. There’s a button to click. Just remember it is Pacific Time. The Christmas tree is up and the girls are decorating it. We looked at the house again and signed a bunch more papers. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I am lying in bed with a warm cat on my lap. Sleet is falling outside. DH and the boys foraged for dinner. I have two sickly cats (ancient bones) but both appear to be on the mend. I had the most exciting week of my writing life so far and the most dismal three days of work with so many elderly, sick animals that it was near constant sadness and compassion. I am so tired. I believe I will announce my news on Tuesday. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 We stopped by the walk-in clinic after the choir concert and ds14 has an ear/sinus infection. Hopefully the drugs will kick in quickly and he'll be feeling better by tomorrow. Dd16 did not make it into the regional orchestra. We are surprised, sort of, since she made it in last year, but the competition is so incredibly stiff. If your bow slips a little or your note doesn't come out quite right, that could make the difference. She took it well, but I feel bad for her. Kids are now at a youth group Christmas party. I'm gonna get a couple things ready for tomorrow's crazy day. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The concept is supposed to be conveyed through the music itself instead of the lyrics, like the idea it presents. It's one of my favorite songs and Disturbed did an amazing cover, better than the original. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are actually two casts except all the young men are in both casts. I woke up at 6, tried to go back to sleep, and had all kinds of crazy dreams for my efforts - like trying to clean up messes that didn't make sense, and then forgetting what time the play was on which day, which caused us to miss violin lesson, and then getting to the play on time, but everyone was getting ready to play basketball. 😂 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is only the 2nd time we've ever had snow in December, as far as I remember. (I've been here almost 20 years.) * It takes less than an inch for us to be "snowed in." We actually got about 5". 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
