I'm at the office until 3pm today, still a bit worn out from Sunday but I get the next four days off.

We're going to 4pm Mass tonight, then DH and I will spend a quiet Christmas Eve at home. Tomorrow I'm roasting a turkey with all the trimmings for us and the boys. We'll all exchange Christmas gifts then.

I hope all that celebrate Christmas will feel the spirit of the day. All that celebrate Hannukah or other faith have a wonderful holiday season as well. :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug:

Hi everyone,
kids got into O'Hare an hour late, but then got put into limbo, since there wasn't a gate available. So they landed at 9:20, and got off of the plane at 11:50 pm...:( DH took a nap while we waited in the cell phone parking lot...I sat and waited.
DD got into Milwaukee area around 7pm...she'll head down this way late this afternoon...
I forgot about the inability to sleep while on IVSM...finally got to sleep about 4 am...then my DH forgot his cell phone in his pocket in our bedroom, and someone called him at 6 am (he was working out at the gym by then). So no more sleep. I'm going to try to catch a nap now.
I am already noticing an improvement in my stiffness, ability to get up from a chair and walk normally...it's heavenly...

Well, have a great few days, you all...the ability to get together and share with friends/family is the secret to later memories...and it's not what you have, but what you give...in the moments of laughter and love.
Have a wonderful holiday (Hannukuh, Christmas, Kwanzaa)...:)

Merry Christmas ALL!! and very big HUGSSSSSSSSs

Well we had a good Christmas eve, hung with the kids at home first, opening mom dad gifts...then to my parents house, dinner and gifts from them. Nice night, we were up LATE putting together some Santa stuff.

Hense, when I went to church this morning, I went alone, my body was stiff and having troubles...so I choose not to take little ones..as I cant always hold them like a mom...sooooo

I went with my son, who was alter serving... sat with my parents..the minute we got there...shortly after getting there my mo said THE words...How are you feeling today hun!

well those words brought the tears, thru church, each song came on more tears flown down my cheeks....

reasons...1. think way too overtired..so I am an emotional freak when overtired. 2. (since hubby working today in day) I went alone to church not bringing kids due to my darn sxs. which made me tear up thinking of not having them there...
3. well you guessed it sudden rush of emotions of missing my sister, not that she is always here for Christmas..but thinking of her family and first year with out her.

anyhow...once I got going, I kept clearing up...thinking of my blessings...then a song would ocme on...and teary me.....

well I survived it, after my mom went to ask if I am ok, of course more tears, I finally dropped into her coat..for a hug...and she knew..some was Madeline, some was my health...

anyhow, going to nap in a bit, as I said way WAY overtired, body is feeling rubbery, numb, and then painful stiffness in hands at times or feet....

when baby ready we are taking a nap, then later I am taking the kdis to my parents as she is cooking again...my mom spoils us... hubby will either join us there, or we will bring leftovers to him. He works till 630pm. He looked so HOT...he wore a suit..they can dress up for Christmas working at the Casino...not all do..but he looked so fine....:wink:

The kids loved the Santa presents, they are all enjoying them, hubby surprised Jasmine (9 year old) and the rest with a WI. or is it WII...

anyhow she is playing boxing with Tony, family fun.. and good exercise I see...

I want to tell you I am lucky to have all of you, thanks for always being here for support and love..you all are wonderful.

I send hugss to all, this holiday season, remember to think of our blessings...as I have thanked My Lord, even though I was misty of losing a sister, and my health..>I thanked him for these adorable kids we are blessed with..and a wonderful hubby.

for Christmas he got me a PDA< thing...for me to keep notes in..once we figure it out hehehehe

he is wonderful, and thoughtful always, I thank heaven for him, hugsss,sarah
