Hi everyone! It's been a busy day yet a mellow one, if that makes sense. Woke up at 5:00 this morning and started working on some paintings, took a 1 hr nap this morning, did some work on the paintings, took a 2 hour nap, went to visit my parents, worked on the paintings, and am now settling down in my pjs ready for bed and it's only 6:45. LOL

I hope everyone had a good day! Hugs for everyone whether you need them or not.

Bah humbug...
I hate nighttime! I can't sleep through the night...the CPAP machine bothers me, and the spasms in my legs wake me too...how can you be healthy if you can't sleep well?

Debbie, sorry to hear the CPAP is bothering you and you had a restless night.

Sandy, glad to hear your mom is doing better than the docs said.

Sox, Prayers still going out for your friend.

Everyone,

hello and good morning!

I just want to thank you all for your prayers for my friends. Also thanks
for lending me your ears(eyes) and responding so kindly.

Its Christmas so its time to get merry!

Yesterday the kids had a blast dipping their chocolates. It was a whirlwind
that took all of one hour! whew!

Today I have my holiday food shopping to do. Also have to make
brownies, fill goodie bags, wrap teacher gifts and do up about 20 platters
of cookies which I have to deliver. So I better get crackin. wish me luck!

Tomorrow I am going to school to make graham cracker houses with
the fifth grade. Its tradition as I have done this with all my children when
they were in fifth grade...woohoo its going to be fun!

Love, hugs and blessing to all!!!!! You all are the
best!

Hi ya kids! This momma is up to her ears in preparations for a trip to the backwoods. I am going to go spend a couple of days with my momma and momma-in-law.

Good Morning everyone. I awoke with a terrible sinus headache this morning. Actually, it's just my left eye that really hurts....hurts to move or look from side to side. All I have in the house to take is Zyrtec and Motrin.

It's a beautiful, bright, sunny day here today. We're supposed to get rain on Christmas Eve and Christmas day. No snow....but I'd take a dusting for Christmas. We rarely ever have a white Christmas here.

I really should get dressed but I'm still in my nightgown and plan to stay in it for a while. I'm not going anywhere so there isn't much reason to get dressed. At least not until I go out to get the mail. Don't want to scare the neighbors!

Think I'll go rest my eyes for a bit.....this computer is making me strain them. Ya'll have a good day!

hey Kelly ... send some sunshine back up nort!! LOL .. we have a white sky .. white on the ground, in the trees, on the rooftops ... on the lake ... and in the air ... it's snowing/raining freezing stuff ... and the hi will get to 29!

got all my letters printed last night ... WOW ... I have about 150 to mail out - 50 go to my tax clients (they'll get an extra letter) ... some will get a letter about the quilt program ... and some will get my life update .. blah blah blah!! I kept it VERY light ...

reorganized and moved some furniture around the last couple of days - not going to empty out many boxes .. planning on moving in Spring ... and start building the lighthouse ... will have to live in a shed - but, I've been in worse places!!

have a great day!!

the DAYS are getting longer!!

Morning all! I will be up to my ears in goodies today. I am making peanut butter balls, mini pecan muffins and lime jello. I'll make my dip and clean tomorrow.

Hope everyone is having a good day.

Debbie, I do hope you get some rest soon. I don't know how much more one can take. Jim went through something similar for about a year. He was miserable too. No sleep can do that to someone.

Vonn, how in the heck do you send out 150 holiday letters? LOL I couldn't afford mine this year.
