A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffee House 2462..This one is for you !

Rod spoke to the nurse at the hospital twice. They were sending her back to the Nursing home here in a bit. Rod (& maybe me) are going there in a bit...

she is fine..all but they needed to give her a few stitches.

Oh my...I hope your MIL is alright. Stitches are bad but it could have been worse.

We had a busy day today, errands with DH then we took grandgirl to cut our Christmas tree.

We are leaving here in a few moments to see her, so Rod will know.

OH Goody, you got a real tree--that is so much fun...I am sure your Grand-girl was thrilled. Little ones make the holidays so much better. You are blessed indeed.

Poor Rod is going to miss his bedtime. I bet your MIL is hungry too. Will the nursing home have something for her too eat off regular hours?

Yep you are right, Tina--but hey, it is Friday night, so it is all good...I think there will be a popcorn party as well...

Marie was doing well. She said she did not want everyone worrying about her, that she was fine and she was the one to worry about everyone else.

They super glued her forehead right above her eyebrow. about 3 & 1/4 CM.

and as far as I know she had lunch but not supper or snack. She was in bed when we got there to see her. Wide awake, but in bed...

I tend to think that anyone stuck for more than 3 hours in an ER needs to be offered a cup of soup and a cracker packet. Especially the elderly and young. It is unkind unless there is some physical problem where they should not eat.
I took such a heavy nap today that I will probably be up a little late.

I totally agree, Tina, but it seems that Marie does not always eat supper. she says they feed them too much there, so she just does not want 3 meals a day. Usually she eats breakfast and then either lunch or supper.

It is/was raining outside again.

Weather man said no rain tonight or tomorrow----so what is up with this stuff ???

G'nite, sleep tight....

Good morning. This is a laundry and cleaning day. We have a possibility of a little more rain. I am torn between wanting the wet and needing some sunshine. But I guess the sun will shine the rest of this week until next weekend.

Good Morning.

Today is a clean church day. The bad news there is that Rod will want to hurry up & get it done.

I am still coughing and I have a new symptom now---I have a sinus headache. I hope it drains sooner rather than later...

I hope your head is better now, Carol.

Feel better soon Junie....enjoy your rain Tina.

We were supposed to get snow today but are getting freezing rain again.

Grandgirl and I put up the tree..she had so much fun. She also took my mom's star tree topper since apparently angels are not allowed up on our tree

She doesn't want the competition around, Sunny? Kids are so much fun.

Yes Little ones are ever so much fun. I agree.
Tell your Granddaughter that she can come by & put up MY tree. (someone should) But she should be fore warned...we DO allow angel toppers on the trees in this house...

I hate this computer----for some reason when You go over to hit either the 'caps lock' or the 'shift' button it deletes the sentence or paragraph that the last word was by. great....NOT.....

Today while we were out Rod & I picked up Beowulf for a "vacation". Luke was asleep but hey, we got to see Micah.

We have a star on our tree. Colt calls it a snowflake and it does look like a snowflake. He's smarter than I am.

Junie, sometimes I hit something and what I've written gets deleted too. I can't figure out what I've hit.

Hi all,

We have had a long week , Carrie's kids all got sick... some kind of virus... so of course sleeping schedules got messed up again... they feel better now but are still sleeping days... hopefully they get back on track today- they hve a cousins birthday party to go to today...
I am going to go get my hair cut in a few minutes.. it's been long for a while now and I am tired of it so thinking of going short again... maybe even adding some highlights... my Christmas present to myself...

We have had pretty nice weather the last few days been warm enough days to go without a jacket... today its cloudy though and a little cooler outside... strange weather for December here...

Well better go finish getting ready to go and get moving- Joe is dropping me off and Carrie is bringing me home... she got her hair done yesterday, had almost a foot cut off . and styled and highlighted too... that was my present to her for Christmas... she looks so nice .. hope mine turns out as well..

Well better get moving, have a good day all!

Nana

I am sorry the crud crept int your grands, Nana. Glad they are over it though. I hope you get your hair done to your satisfaction.

Gracious, sick children are the pits....and sick grandchildren are worse yet. Poor babies.

I am proud of you for treating yourself. I so wish I would just go ahead & spend the money to have mine done--I have wanted to for years. But now, my hairdresser is at a new much more expensive place and I just cannot make myself do that...

Well I spoke to soon... Derek now has what Timba had, Carrie had to go home early to take care of him... just wanted Mom ... sick grands are the pits.. feel so helpless..

I did have my hair done to my satisfaction.. it's just touching my shoulders now- and kind of curled under, she put layers in so it has some body too.... I ususally just went to a chain that mostly just trims - nothing fancy but Carrie got me to go to the shop next to her store- they gave me a discount so that helped too... even Joe admitted it looks better... it was more money than I usually spend but just decided it was time....and she gives free bang trims so that helps , much better than me chopping st them....LOL!

Well off to do the last of the laundry...

Nana

I am sorry Timba came down with it. I am glad you are happy with your holiday hairdo, Nana.

OH My Nana. When it rains it pours. I do hope that Timba feels better soon.

I am soon off to bed.

G'nite everyone.

Sweet dreams all. I am off to bed myself.

Good freezing morning everyone...I am so glad that I do not have to go outside today, brrr.

Glad you got to treat yourself Nana...hope the kids feel better soon.

Bestofour, want to send me your tree top...I don't like the one on my tree at all. If I get to go somewhere before Xmas maybe I'll treat myself to a nicer star.

I'll send grandgirl to help you all....prepare for Miss Hurricane to arrive

I am glad you can stick inside today as well, Sunny. I wish I could send you a bubble of my warm to surround you.
Good morning. Today is bed stripping and our grooming day. Getting ready for the school week ahead. I want to cook something but I am just not sure what yet.

Good Morning,

Well we have an angel on our tree.. she has been our topper for years now...

Haven't heard how boys are today- hope they are all feeling better, the good news is whatever Nicoli had didn't send him into a cycle ... Carrie said he was so happy to just be sick and not cycle- so hoping he may be growing out of this.. he wants to go back to school so much... he is a social kid and misses it a lot..

Our weather is nice today- no clouds and supposed to be warm.. may go out today and get some of the shopping done- have to do transformers and leggos for twins... rest of kids get cash this year...

I have to do beds and towels today too... and vacuum and sweep floors... got a stew ready for crockpot too.. easy dinner .. will make some rolls to go with and call it done... got some bills to pay and that will be most of my day... tomorrow if boys are better will be school time with Nicoli and Derek and I have a couple experiments to do for his science class... something to do with warm and cold water and food coloring...

Well off to get breakfast made and day started .... have a nice day all!

Nana

Stew sounds good, Nana. I still do not know what I want to do with my dinner.

Eat it ..

Thank you, Dodge. We did eat.
I could not settle on something to cook to extend a couple of meals. So we ended up with baked mac n cheese with ham, carrots and peas and a fruit salad. quick, easy and warming.
We are all clean and shiny and ready for the week ahead.

Sweet dreams all. I am heading towards my bed in a few.

I too am headed to my bed.

Sweet Dreams everyone.

Good morning...it is so cold out there today. DH plugged in my car, thankfully they have block heaters...they'd never start without them.

They were calling for a snow storm Tuesday and Wednesday...now it is changed to freezing rain. Such strange weather this year.

Good morning. I guess I am up an hour early today. I may just be napping later.
I am so sorry you have such cold weather. Sunny. Do you have a garage for your vehicles? Freezing rain is not good.
We are to have a cold rain about Friday. I may be lighting up my stove this week.

More rain Tina. Seems like you've had more than usual lately.

Sunflower, I can't imagine living in a place so cold that you have to plug in your car. If my car needed plugging in I think I'd have to stay under my plugged in electric blanket all day.

I watched the weather report this morning, and I thought it looked like most, if not all, of California was going to get rain, & LOTS of it. I thought right away about Tina. I just hope it is above freezing rain...

Went with DH to his eye DRs. apt this morning. Now I am going to my MIL's & the re-sell-it shop.

Yes, they are calling for about 5 inches Thurs-Fri. With snow in the mountains. That will be good for us.
We have a lot to go before the drought is over though. Much, much more.

Hope this rain helps with all the fires CA has.

We have Christmas program practice tonight and tomorrow night.

The rain does help with wildfires. The brown ground is filling with green. Our winters are much like spring elsewhere.
One school day is done and I'm trying to decide dinner again.

well at least your winters are not harsh.

All during winter I wonder why it is I live in the mid-west.

I just balanced my checkbook, in preparation for going Christmas shopping on Thursday. I guess I had better get at that, huh ???

I am soon off to bed.
