MC tues

 THAT is why we never bell trained Ari. She would never stop ringing it! Then again, maybe ringing a bell would be better than how she does get our attention (saunters up, whacks us with her paw, and then gives us an earful of how mean we are lol).

I'm very excited that I'm going to be able to swing a half day on Xmas Eve. The tenative plan is to head down to Mass to visit at my Aunt's house and likely the significant other's Mom's house. I plan to be lazy on Xmas :) Well as lazy as can be with a crazy dog in the house that is....

Ugh is it thursday yet?  I am so tired at work today.  It's a good thing I have tea!

I don't feel like working today.  blaaaaaaah!

It' only TUESDAY???  Gee, I wish the week would hurry up and fast forward!

I shouldn't wish that.  I haven't wrapped the first thing for Christmas!  And, I don't have any stocking stuffers yet.  Still have a tiny bit of shopping to do as well.  That's a tomorrow thing, however.  Wed is the day I make my run for dog food and supplies so will shop while I'm in that town.  More stores than just Walmart.  There are some stores in our downtown that are delightful, but selection?  Nope.  And pricey as all get out!

I've done ALL my own shopping so far.  I think I'll make up a list and send DH to finish it up.  He shouldn't get off scott free!  But, that man hates shopping almost as much as I do!  Oh well, it's for a good cause....ME!!  LOL!  A little sacrifice is required in every life.......

I so hope today is better than yesterday.  Everything I touched seemed to go FUBAR.  It started off with DH giving Grady leftovers of leftovers that were a little spicey.  As he walks out the door he mentions that I might want to change the sheets because someone gaked on the bed.  Thanks babe.  Hubbys can be so hard to train sometimes.

I THOUGHT I was finished with my shopping but I should get something for my dogsitter.  I think I'll print out a picture of Maghee & put it in a nice frame.  He loves Maghee almost as much as I do.

As always, hugs to those that need them & good vibes for all ailing puppers.

my knee is killing me!  And I have no idea why.  Whenever I put any weight on it it hurts so bad.

I'm really getting tired of paperwork

I am having such a good time with the grandkids.  Yesterday after lunch, we ran a couple of errands...then went shopping.  Boots and Converse tennis shoes for two...Boots at Journey Kidz for the youngest (OMG what a rock star).  Ear piercing for the older two...what memories made.  Cool jean purchases, merry go rounds....and more.  Boy did we all sleep like rocks last night.

I think we'll stick close to home today.  We've got sugar cookies to make; and gingerbread houses to build.

The youngest brought her new parakeet, named Lemon.  Pretty cute...but we are having to keep Rocky the cat away...he discovered it and wants to hunt.  Lemon sez....I tot I saw a puddy tat. 

Have a great Tuesday!

 Can I just say this morning, I hate the big auto world place I now have to take my car too because there are no other places close by to service a jeep. Although, I did find one farther away that  I will probably start using. I dropped it last night for a warranty part, and they called me about wiper blades. No, I do not want your $30 wiper blades. I can put those on  myself, and it won't even cost me half of that. I called back in time for them not to do it, but I swear, if they did, I would have made them take the damn things back off my car. Yeah, that's it. My car is done and I'm going to go get it shortly.

I am having such a good time with the grandkids.

Yay for you and yay for your grandkids. It's wonderful that you get to spend some extra time with them and I'm betting they're loving every minute of it.

I slept good last night too. I was dragging so much yesterday that I considered calling my dr. and asking for a script for Ambien. I seem to go 2-3 nights of really restless sleep and then crash and burn. I didn't even get up to use the bathroom once and that's very unusual but soooooo nice.

I don't recall this happening before, but I've been inundated with graduation packets last week and this week. I guess some of the teachers want to have the grad date in 2009 and maybe it even affects some of their grant money. I just really didn't expect this and had to do a rush order on 2009 tassels. Oh well, it'll make the day go by faster.

DH asked me if I'd go with him to the funeral for one of the firefighters that died last week. It's on Tuesday of next week and since I'm off anyway, I said I would. I tend to cry over silly commercials these days so I'd better bring a box of tissues with me.

It's a gorgeous, sunny day here but a bit on the chilly side.

I'm trying to upload pics of Agnes w/ her secret santa booty, but it's not working.  Argh!

Had a weird ongoing dream this morning, that some stray cats broke into my house via a patio door by chewing through the screen.  Many of them were injured, malnourished, etc.  Then two were at my front door, thought they were dead, but they weren't.  So I tried to get them into crates to take to the shelter, but my truck was packed and more kept showing up.  I was very worried that they were bringing disease and worms into my house and that my cats would get sick.  I made it to the shelter, but then one of the workers couldn't find her boots, which I was wearing, and I don't know how I got them, but the end result was that I had to unload everyone alone.  I was so tired at the end of the dream I didn't want to get up!

 JACKIE!  WE LOVE YOU!  Merry Christmas to you and your's as well!  Kale saw the card and said,"Is that the lady...."  and I cut him off and said,"Yup!  That's the one!"  Squeeee!  I love getting stuff in my mail that isn't bills.  I also got my outdoors card and my fishing license today, so it was a good mail day.

Oh and I also got the small package from Old Navy Jen.  The big one isn't here yet... :(  I'm sure it will be here soon.  The small one had the packing slip in it with my order though.  Holy!  I got lots of stuff!  Hehe!  If it doesn't get here tomorrow, I'll get to have Christmas all over again when it does!  

I want a charlie brown Christmas tree but I want the one with Linus' blanket they have ones with the blanket and ones without and of course can only find the one without the blanket.

I'm tired today gotta head back to the mall my dad needs to buy something he was at the mall yesterday and a few days before that lol he goes to the mall more then I do.

Kale saw the card and said,"Is that the lady...."  and I cut him off and said,"Yup!  That's the one!" 

He was probably going to say "the lady who sent that cookie stuff that Onyx ate and went crazy?  That lady?"  LOL  I love getting mail too that isn't a bill or someone trying to sell me something.  :)  Glad it brightened your day.

Lauren, my knee hurts too and I don't know why.  I think we both need to go home. :)

Barb, I'm so glad you and the grandkids are having a good time!

Tina, that's a weird dream.  Hurry and figure out the photo thing.  I need Agnes photos.

Lauren, my knee hurts too and I don't know why.  I think we both need to go home. :)

I should go too. My knees hurt all the time these days and so do some of my other joints.It hurts just to pull a shirt over my head. I think it's hormonal though and I don't want to go on any HRT, so I'm just trying to ignore it. It's depressing sometimes though.

My Old Navy order is supposed to be delivered today and I'm way excited. I hope what I bought fits. I don't always have good luck with ordering clothes online, but maybe this will be different.

When I told the girls we were about to make gingerbread houses....the middle kid squealed and said..."its just one fun thing after another!!!"

They have been playing Wii.  Little do they know that on Christmas morning they will be opening a set of their very own to take home and set up on their own TV.  Along with Rock Band II.  So exciting!
