Howdy folks!! Ok, I'mHowdy folks!! Ok, I'm somewhat rested (could have used a couple more hours of sleep). But, kids are off to school, I unloaded the rest of the stuff that we borrowed from the community building for yesterday. Am doing my morning computer time and breakfast. Today, need to: Doesn't look like much, but that's all I'm going to tackle.  Thanks Jenny, I was justThanks Jenny, I was just going to do that myself! Good luck on your final! Well, I am pretty busy tonite after work. Wal-Mart run to pick up DS's birthday gift and possibly a few other Xmas gifts. Pick up something for dinner???? Maybe salmon? Go home and clean the kitchen floor - it is gross! Make dinner. DS has basketball from 6:00 to 8:00 so he won't be eating with us. See ya! Thanks Jenny!Other than studying, today is mostly working on Christmas stuff. Cards, making part of my sister's gift, that kind of thing. I STILL haven't doneI STILL haven't done pictures for our cards yet!! I have to get that done soon!! I got my final done and took care of the game tonight (both girls and boys one. Girls by a landslide. Boys was actually tied at one point, and got pretty dirty with the shoving and coaches yelling at the ref and such). Guess that other team was still ticked off that we came up from nowhere and beat them in the semifinals in football, when we weren't supposed to. Feel like another big weight lifted off me with the dinner and finals over. Now I can concentrate on Christmas! Good Morning! TADA morningGood Morning! TADA PODA I really need this day to do all the above. Glad I was not called in to sub today,even though I love it and the extra money is nice..... Heidi Subbing is nice, but nice toSubbing is nice, but nice to have a day off with no children around to get things done and bit of peace and quiet, huh Heidi? I think when Drew starts school in a couple of years (and if DH is no longer on the school board), I'll just sub for a while. wrapping is my slug, too. I could have used another 10 hours or so of sleep this morning. LOL! DD8 and I went to the basketball game so we could cheer (DD10 was being such a little wench that I refused to let her go. DH wasn't feeling 100% yet, so he stayed home with her and the boys and I enjoyed a nice quiet evening watching 2 games and coaching 15 girls). Today I need to go to Big(ger) town and get some Christmas shopping done. DH needs to go up there too, so we will just go together. I'll even let him drive the new truck. LOL!  Howdy!I'm off to start a really long day: Library for research, 11-3 That's why I have the sitter making the cookies with the girls! (Peanut blossoms, yum!) Have I mentioned that our DW has been broken since the day before Thanksgiving. Finally, Friday, someone is coming to fix it. I can't wait. I dislike having to do dishes in the sink, since I can never wash *all* the dishes before filling up the drainer and then some. I went to Paper Source last night to get stuff for our cards -- Thursday we're off to Sears for photos! Good Morning! Shaun-soundsGood Morning! Shaun-sounds busy but fun. Hope you all had a good time last night. I can't believe I used to not have a dishwasher in our other house. I kinda take it for granted now. Hope yours is on the mend ASAP. TADA PODA Have a Terrific day guys! Heidi PS got all that blasted wrapping done here yesterday too! Morning all!! Shaun, how'dMorning all!! Shaun, how'd it go last night? WTG on the wrapping, Heidi!! We got a good deal of shopping done! In fact, other than a couple of little things and candy for stockings, I am done!! Now, DH has to take care of a few things (his dad, BIL, my stepfather). Oh, and I need to find something for my nephew. I was going to work on wrapping, BUT... I'm babysitting. He's 5 months old, the baby I felt guilty for not watching Monday when I had to set up and feed 100 people. Somehow I need to unload all the gifts out of my expedition and hide them in the house. I have no idea how I'm to accomplish this, because I really don't want to leave DS2 alone with the baby, even though baby is now sleeping in the other room. And of course, DH is out for the day and night. Maybe they both will miraculously take a nap at the same time later. DS2 is feeling a bit jealous right now, though. I'm working on laundry today. Other bits and pieces around here, too. I GIVE UP!!!! Every time II GIVE UP!!!! Every time I try to do something, it gets all messed up!!! As good luck would have it, right after I submitted last post, I found DS2 asleep on the sofa. So I hurried and got those presents unloaded. But before I could get them hid, school called and DS5 was throwing up. I was babysitting her grandson, and she didn't want him around DS5, so I had to give the baby up! I managed to hide the gifts before I picked him up, but WHEN am I going to wrap (ok, I guess next week I'll wrap, while kids are in school. Tuesday probably).  Don't Feel Bad JennyWe still have no tree, so if any of my stuff was wrapped I wouldn't have anywhere for it to go. Hopefully this weekend. TADA PODA Can you tell I'm in a poopy mood? See Ya, Jo, maybe things will slowJo, maybe things will slow down with everyone's school in another week, then you can have a break! I did get laundry done yesterday. Most of the day was spent running between DS2 and DS5, aka the puke monsters. LOL! DD10 came down with it about midnight. She just brought a blanket and pillows into the bathroom and camped out there all night. Boys are still asleep, but they survived the night just fine (couldn't get DS2 to go to sleep!). Now there is just me and DD8. Pray I don't get it. Today, besides more laundry and puke, I plan on going to town, again. Last day of basketball signups (I only found out Wed. night!!). Tomorrow are tryouts (so another trip to town). Just me again? Well,Just me again? Well, ok! SLUG Always tomorrow, right? Hi All - How'd ya do Jenny?Hi All - Jo, when will you take your Praxis? Is each state's test different? End of a busy and crazy week for me. I had a fun day on Wednesday and a conference on Thursday with terrible driving conditions home and work today - I feel like I am coming down with something - funny feeling in the throat and just TIRED. Flying? DW emptied, laundry done and put away, dw ran and emptied. That's about it. We went to a spaghetti dinner tonite at the school which was a fundraiser for the 5th grade whale watch. I worked at it for awhile. DS is now at a basketball game - Tomorrow I hope to shop and get ready for having friends over for dinner. I think I am making black bean enchilads - she is a vegetarian, otherwise I would throw some of our good steaks on the grill! See ya! Morning! Andrea, we were onMorning! Andrea, we were on about the same time last night, it seems! LOL! I managed to get my kitchen cleaned up from the mess that is my husband alone with 4 children. But, he managed to mess it up again just before I went to bed. I haven't done anything to it yet. No time. Because we are leaving for BB tryouts just as soon as I get off this, throw a face on, and dress the kids. Leaving early, we got a couple inches of snow, and I'm not sure where this place is (old jr. high gym in town. O..k..). I'll be back later. Like a Freight TrainThat's how we are cruising through this season! It is just blowing by! But we did get our tree decorated today -- 6 days after setting it up in the tree stand. I really need to clear some time -- and counter space -- for making cookies, and if I don't finish shopping for out-of-towners tomorrow I am in big trouble! Our dishwasher needs a new pump and motor -- just another 7-10 days -- bleah. But the caroling was fun! We have a new Director of Religious Education, and it was funny because she clearly wanted the "after party" to last about 10 minutes, and the parents were like, "it's a cold night, we shlepped kids and cookies all over town, now we're staying and talking!" Sorry about all the illness Jenny. That sucks big time. Tis the season I guess. I will be last-minute wrapping with the rest of you I guess. I was planning to tonight, but first we are watching Order of the Phoenix with DD8. I guess DH couldn't wait a whole 10 days to give it as an Xmas present! Shaun, I'm having a hardShaun, I'm having a hard time holding OTP for Christmas myself!! LOL! I may be coming down with the bug myself. I sure hope not. We managed tryouts (roads sure were slick!) and groceries today. I have made fudge and mini pecan pies, but I think that's all I'm going to accomplish tonight. I have cancelled going to the birthday party tomorrow. Our preacher never confirmed that we would do the advent candle tomorrow morning and the call to worship, and when I spoke to the secretary, she said another name was in the program, so I guess I don't have to worry about that. A day at home tomorrow. Think I'll go clean the toilets real quick. Always nice to puke into a clean one, don't you think? Yes, it must be clean Jenny!Yes, it must be clean Jenny! LOL! At least you got out of church. that is how I am feeling nowadays, bad I know. I am hoping for a lot of snow tomorrow so we won't have to go. Bad, bad, bad! Can you tell I am a preacher's kid? We actually will be getting a lot of snow. We had a nice dinner party tonite with another family - mom, dad, and their two girls. The older is good friends with DD9. TADA: See ya! It's 4:30am. I've been upIt's 4:30am. I've been up for nearly 2 hours, can't sleep. I've had it coming out both ends (TMI!!), but am trying to keep some applejuice down now. DS2 crawled in bed with me about 2, but was being a real bedhog and grouchy, so I left. I see DH put out the hidabed for the kids, three of them and cat sleeping away. No, I'm not flying. Just bored and sick and decided to come on here. LOL! And wouldn't you know it: after 4 months, aunt flo stopped in for a visit tonight. joy. Hope you are feeling betterHope you are feeling better soon Jenny! Yuk. We had a nice, busy day. Shopping, baking, made a great steak dinner with baked potatoes and broccoli with hollandaise sauce. DD is cutting out cookies now. Church this am. The whole day was crazy b/c everyone is waiting for the storm that never really came! The ids are hoping for a snow day, but it is not looking too promising. Where is my post?I posted yesterday but . . . oh well. Sorry Jenny, that sounds awful! Glad you missed out on a bad storm Andrea. I have a good friend in Binghamton who said the wind was crazy. Ordered a bunch of gifts online last night, so I'm nearly done. Today: work work work on freelance stuff. Also need to clean up the kitchen really good so I can start baking for the cookie exchange. Have a good one! Good morning! All was wellGood morning! All was well enough to get shipped off to school, so I did! LOL! 5 days til we leave for our trip! So much to do!! Get the camper all ready, load it with clothes, food, and whatever else we need. Wrap EVERYTHING (no, I haven't even begun that horrible task). Pay BILLS (HAVE to do that today), get account balances on EVERYTHING (dh doing paperwork to renew our operating loan). I have a busy day ahead of me. Plus, it's our anniversary today. So, what are we doing to celebrate. Going to the school's staff Christmas party. LOL! Don't worry, we won't be out too late. We have to get the kids back home in bed at a decent hour. GrinchThat's me. We finally got the tree up last night. I got 3, count em, 3 presents wrapped. TADA PODA Well, DS17 is on a roll. He came in past curfew AGAIN Friday night, and when I went into his room to get the Christmas decorations out of the storage closet I found 13 beers! The kid is in more trouble than he has ever seen, and he is still being a jerk about it. DD7, who knows he's in trouble, but not the details, thinks maybe Santa won't bring him any presents. Andrea, I think all the Praxis tests are the same, but different states have different passing scores? I'm taking one on Janury 3rd and the other on Jan 12th. Because I am doing a special education certification I have to take two elementary ed tests. That way I'm covered no matter who I end up working with. Happy Anniversary Jenny! See Ya, Sounds familiarI know when I was a kid my mom found beer stashed in the attic (which you could access from only from my room), and I was not so good at listening to curfew rules. Do you think I'll have a little karma in a few years? I can say that I have had a really good adult relationship with my parent, since leaving for college, and I keep my beer in the fridge now. That is not something I look forward to dealing with as the parent! Feeling a little ill in the tummy this morning -- looking forward to nanny taking the girls out of the house so I can feel gross in peace! Too much panettone? Not enough eggnog? Ah, I was lucky to have myAh, I was lucky to have my guardians refuse to do my laundry. I did my own since I was 13. Anyway, best place to keep beer was in my dirty clothes hamper! Oh, and I had a secret compartment in my Bronco that I stashed it in, too. Lordy, I sure hope my kids don't learn any of my old tricks from me!! Shaun, if there is any such thing as karma, I'm in BIG trouble!! I'm hoping I know enough tricks to keep them from pulling stuff on me. Good Evening! Our hard driveGood Evening! Our hard drive crashed several days ago so I was AWOL. We have since purchased and installed a new one but we did lose some stuff that was not backed up for awhile...ugh.... Happy Anniversary Jenny! Today is my dad's bday too. Hope everyone is feeling better at your house. Hi Everyone Else! TADA PODA Heidi Jo, sorry you are goingJo, sorry you are going through such crap with your son! For lack of a better word. Glad you are back with us Heidi. Pumpkin pie - oh my. Not on weight watchers unfortunately. Busy, crazy, tired, stressful day today. I really need to get to bed soon. DD's Christmas concert is tomorrow - that is always nice. See ya! Good Morning! Well, wasGood Morning! Well, was supposed to sub today but DS is sick so we are both home. Better he be sick now than at Xmas at least. TADA PODA Hope your day goes well Andrea even though it is supposed to be a crazy one! heidi You Crack Me Up Shaun and Jenny!And it actually makes me feel a lot better about the whole situation, because you two turned out OK, right? Doesn't mean he'll end up being an axe murderer... Would it be wrong of me to drink "his" beer in front of him and enjoy it very much? TADA PODA Gotta Run, Jo, definately drink hisJo, definately drink his beer!! LOL! Ok, I went to town first thing this morning and got my hair done. It's all blonde now, no more 2 inches of roots showing. LOL! I got home and spent a good hour getting stuff straightened up (and it's still not great). After all of us being sick, plus out last night and this morning, the house seems to just fall apart. Kitchen mostly done, as is the living room. Load of laundry going. As soon as UPS brings me one last package, I'm done with my shopping! But I haven't begun to wrap. DS5 wasn't feeling well this morning, so I can't do anything with him here. I'll try to tackle that tomorrow. For now, laundry. Oh, need to get out winter clothes of the girls and find their Christmas dresses from last year (No, I haven't done that yet. They have enough jeans and shirts year round, and I'm trying to cut back on just how many clothes they have without giving any away). Oh, I thought those wereOh, I thought those were empty beer cans Jo! Yes, you should drink them! Today was ok - off to DD's concert in a few minutes. See ya! Good morning! PODA morningGood morning! PODA Jo- I too thought the cans were empty!I so do not like dealing with all the drinking/sex/drug/emotional part of teenagers...that is a tough area for me, even though,as a parent, I will have to one day...ugh... Andrea-was DD's concert for school or your church? I saw an SUV yesterday that was decorated like Rudolph. Antlers on the roof and a red nose stuck on the front grill/hood area!! Too funny Better get the coffee going, Have a pleasant day today Heidi Good morning!! I'm busierGood morning!! I'm busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest! LOL! (Thanks, Dolly!). I've got two days to do a weeks worth of stuff. PODA: hehehe. Ok, some of that isn't today. the parties are on Friday. I'm just trying to get my thoughts sorted out. It's crazy here. Just leave me alone. LOL! Off to run errandsAll I want to do is hunker down in my house, but no! We've gotten 4 packages today -- 3 from UPS, 1 from DHL. Can't wait to see what the USPS brings! Good luck on getting everything done, guys! GoodGood Morning! jenny-whoa,slow down a bit before you fall flat on your face! Delegate something. Surely the girls can help with laundry,wrapping(not their gift,of course!),loading the camper,etc. Good Luck. I hope you have a wonderful time on your trip! Shaun-packages are arriving here too. I need to intercept some so the kids don't see where I ordered some stuff from!! I subbed yesterday so my whole PODA for Wednesday gets moved to today Have a good one ladies. Heidi Sorry so late checking inSorry so late checking in today. I haven't even had time to turn the computer ON!! I know, I should delegate. But I just want it done right, and want it done now. Besides, kids are busy studying for finals, and with them in school til 4, there just isn't time for them to do stuff like that this week. I got most of the list above DONE! Still to do: TADA: Tonight we are off to inlaws house. They insisted on having a holiday dinner and exchange gifts with them tonight. We won't be out too late, DD10 has 2 finals tomorrow. Hi Flyfriends!! Long time no here! We are hanging in there. Alexa and Luke are getting big and keeping me really really busy. Dh working until 930pm so I am trying to keep them busy. We have already watched Jim Carey's The Grinch so much Lucas even knows some parts Hope you are all doing well. Jenny, i hope you are feeling better. we had it the week after Thanksgiving. I had Lucas holding my hair for me while I puked! I will never ever eat Chinese food again since that was my last meal before i got it. Alexa had it the night before me so I was up for like 24 hours. I felt so bad for her poor little body. OK sending healthy vibes to everyone!! Jo, you drinking your son's beer cracked me up! I do not look forward to those days although i have had a glimpse with Dstepson. It is like Jenny said though, he knows I know all the tricks so he doesnt try to pull one over me. Dh is a bit naive so i think Dstepson tries it out on him and I crack up. Quick waves to eveeryone Tada: Bye flygirls!! I missed you and will try to show my face more! Holy S . . . omething!Jenny, you are out of control~ Jackie, glad you are still around. Heidi, my package total for today is just 2. I dread opening them, because I know most gifts from grandparents are coming upwrapped, so I have to wrap them. Yck! Just gotta pack up the cookies for a cookie exchange in the morning, and then I am off to bed. We had a sledding party here -- sledding a couple of blocks away, then playing and cocoa here -- so I am wiped. Plus, I stayed out late with girlfriends last night and had a bit too much wine so . . . I'm ready for bed. Tomorrow: HI Everyone! Great to seeHI Everyone! Great to see you Jackie!! Shaun, your sledding party sounded like fun - what a great idea!! Jenny, I can't remember for the life of me where you are going! You are cranking on your PODAS! This week has been busy. Heidi, the concert on Tuesday was DD's school concert - great! Then last nite DD and I went to see "Amahl and the Night Visitors" put on by an opera company from the city. It happened to be at our church. Wow! Very nice. We got to chat with a couple of the actresses afterwards b/c one of DD's brownie friends was in the production. Today is DS's birthday - 11! Hard to believe - he is prettye xcited. We are doing gifts right when he gets home from school and then going out for dinner - coming back for ice cream cake. Tomorrow? Final grocery shopping and making sure I have enough gifts. Then I hope to do some cleaning so I can relax on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. See ya! Andrea, that's because IAndrea, that's because I never said where I was going! LOL! We are surprising my family by driving all the way out to Georgia for Christmas! We are hoping to get there Sunday, but it could be Monday morning (depending on how the kids travel). We have 2 DVD players, but still, driving with 4 kids won't be easy (and we are not traveling all night. I know people swear by it, but no thanks). Taking the camper, so food, toilets, and beds are close by. Too much to do still! finish loading, make stuff for kids parties today. In fact, no time to be here! Gotta go!! Merry Christmas everyone! I'll try to check in sometime! Oh good - so I'm notOh good - so I'm not completely losing my memory! LOL! Sounds like fun - hope it goes smoothly. Off to take a walk on my lunch- Whoosh!That's me, trying to breathe... TADA PODA Peace, TADA morning routine kidsTADA PODA Have a good weekend ,I'll try to do personal posts next time around,sorry. Heidi To All Flyladies-To All Flyladies- Finishing up Xmas prep here. Need to make a carrot cake tomorrow to bring over to DH aunt for Xmas,more wrapping(does it never end???), and that's it. Heidi Hi All!Thanks Heidi! I am also wishing all of my Flyfriends a peaceful and relaxing Christmas! I truly do value your friendship throughout the year - you keep me going to do my best for my family and myself! I mean that... Ok, enough sentimentality! TADA: PODA tomorrow: We are on our own this Christmas, so there is not a big push for a fancy dinner, etc. though I enjoy that too. Just trying to do fun stuff with the kids and relax a bit myself. Lord knows I need it! I will check in tomorrow - We are doing a good job!We must be a great support system, Andrea, because you are going strong! For my part, I am sick -- I got a flu shot, yet this feels like flu! -- and my dishwasher is still broken, so there is no flying here. Tonight I am going to get DH to wrap presents after the girls are in bed. If I feel better tomorrow I will be making a Polish-style dinner for just the 4 of us -- though I may only eat the Danish rice pudding myself! Oh, and the pierogies are probably OK. But sausage and beans, probably not. Merry Christmas to all who are getting ready to celebrate! Aaaaahhhhhhh....Finally, some time to relax! TADA PODA Have a peaceful, joyful holiday everyone!

Tuesday we are going to friends, so if I am up to that, then at least no cooking or cleaning! I have already arranged to pick up a cheesecake at the same place where I get the Polish sausage. (For Christmas, I go to the East European deli whose name I cannot spell, and get the good stuff.)
