******************************Happy Thanksgiving!!**************




I hope everyone has a wonderful, family and fun filled Thanksgiving.


I know I'm usually the pessimist, whining, complaining, wishing I had this or that, but I really am grateful with all I've been blessed with. I have a wonderful husband (though I admit I DID take the long road to finding him) 4 healthy and beautiful children, parents that I don't know what I'd do without, and friends (near and far) who mean the world to me.


We'll be spending tomorrow at my big brother's with the entire family. It'll be lots of fun and there will be tons of yummy food too; can't get better than that!

.......................oh, you caught me!

"Did you really....for really reals, still want this bath poof? sowwy!"

Crazy dog. Somehow she got the poof out of the bathtub and absolutely had a BLAST tearing it apart. Yes, it was naughty, and she normally gets scolded for such behavior....but for some reason this hit me as too cute and funny and I just grabbed the camera instead. Sometimes ya just gotta let them be kids I guess. I replaced the poof for a buck, the 5 month old Ally had fun with that one and all is well.

Nothing new around here really. Basketball has started up so I'm the mom-taxi lots and it's ok....mostly. She still has to take it slow until after xmas, but she's healing nicely and has a new titanium brace fitted specifically to her knee....she thinks it's cool....if it keeps that new ACL intact, I think it's cool too.

All 3 older kids got EXCELLENT progress reports. I was very happy. Crossing my fingers that report cards look as good. (please, please, please, please)

LittleE has started her first "bay-cation" as she calls it. Today was her last day of preschool until after Thanksgiving. She's been counting down the days, I'm not sure why. I'm not sure what exactly she thinks is going to happen, and when she realizes that it actually means that she can't go to school she's going to be pissed! Oy, what a kid.

Up to 6 hours of work, 5 days a week. After next week, I should be back to 8 hours. I'm ready, I'm PAST ready......grrrrrrrrrrrr

Jamie's work is going well too....I may actually have good news soon. I'm not going to jinx it and talk about it until it's 100% for really-reals!

Major Life Changes

That's what's going on in this household....trying to make huge decisions......well one mainly.....ya know? Like a real adult? blech, I hate that!

My mind is centered on that right now, nothing more really, except day-to-day stuff.....

Soooooooooooo, what do you think about Florida?

Hope you had a great Halloween!











We had fun. Wish Jamie had been home, but he'll be home tonight. YAY








Here's Cinderella....yes, I know that Cinderella didn't wear Adidas, but just go with it. And this is a pudgy Cinderella because she has THREE shirts on underneath....it's COLD here. LOL
As we were leaving to go trick-or-treating, she noticed that there was a deer in the meadow behind the house. Ally was outside at the time and didn't care and neither did the deer. LOL
Hope you all had a great-scary-night!
Everyone's doing ok here. Anxious for Jamie to come home! The oldest has a horrible cold/sinus thing and the youngest is just getting over it. And guess who's getting it now? Yup, me. And I start back to work tomorrow....fun fun with a horrid cold.

Clear to go back to work!

Next week! LOL Can't WAIT! Dang, am I sick or something? No, just broke....and going a bit stir crazy.

Saw the surgeon today; 4 weeks post-op. He wanted to see me off it for another 4 weeks! HUH? I think he could tell by the look of "are you f__king kidding me?" on my face that it wasn't going to work for me. He compromised and said I can go back starting next week but only 4 hours a day. There's still a bunch of healing to be done and I have 2 toes that are numb (like I care) so he's a bit concerned. Will go back in another 4 weeks and hopefully everything will be fine.

The fun part? I get to wear my boot another 4 weeks! Jealous? I know....I have an extra for anyone who would like to make such a fashion statement.

Nothing else new. Jamie will be home saturday....YAY. The day after Halloween; which LittleE just realized today. She's sad about daddy missing her being Cinderella. She's been sick the last 2-3 days. YUCKY nose (gross) and fever. So she's not sleeping well....I'm tired! and so is she, lol.

Alrighty, have to go get the oldest from basketball.....have a great night!
