Good morning: Marking my spot quickly to find it when I get home. Meeting one of the girls to run at 7:15-- it is 24 degrees!!! Too, too cold for the CA girl! And we are supposed to meet a group for a short bike ride at 10 (after our run). DH is telling me that it will still be icy and we will crash if we hit the ice ---sounds like FUN. Might can the bicycling.... anyway, I will check back later--glad to see that Christine is here and is recovering!
Have a good morning ladies....

Boy was that strange. Comcast went out all of a sudden. having triple play isn't that great when they go out, no tv, internet, or phone! We have a booster from our cell phone company so we can get data in our house so of course that was out also. Totally disconnected. it wouldn't have been so bad but our washing machine just quit working. It won't fill up with water! So now we are scrambling to find one. Can afford to buy one right before Christmas and going to Pittsburgh! Ugh! I don't have enough underwear to last all week! TMI!!
Christine, sorry your house was so noisy yesterday. I hope they quiet down today for you. Yes just taking a shower is a major production when your knee is out. We are supposed to leave on Thursday about 1pm. I will work 1/2 a day and DH and DD will go to her Neurologist appt. that morning. So we can drive straight through. Good thing it wasn't this weekend, they had ice!
Carole, Oh I would love to go see that movie. DS is going with his GF tomorrow after school. Its their last day then Christmas break. Time is just flying by. The cost of coaching with Heather starts at $395, $495, $595, a month. There are 3 levels and she spells out what you get with each. On the application I said I didn't know if I could afford it or not so she sent the cost in her response. On the first level you get 2- 45min. calls with her a month. I can send you the email if you give me your email address. That is just out of my price range. I've been slacking on tracking again, but figure I don't 'have to do it everyday it doesn' have to be perfect. Yes the work ethic of some people is questionable. We are making our cut out cookies today, as soon as I get off here.
Sue, I missed your brittle recipe, i went back to try and find it, can you share again? So glad Sarah went for help and her Dr. jumped on the treatment. Depression is hard but a common thing. I suffered from Post Pardum (sp) depression. Hope she starts to feel better. Christmas really puts a hurting on us too. it is easy especially with little ones. It has to be so hard for them. I was considering making more Christmas cookies but decided the buckeyes and cut outs are enough this year.

Good Morning everyone
Had a great time out last night for my mom's 80th birthday. The food was great and my cousin and his wife were there which is great we saw them also. Yes my boss takes care of his employee's really well at the end of the year and we had a great year, really busy. Thank you Sue for the recipe I'm going to go to the store and get the things I need to make peanut brittle and it looks really easy. Christine glad to see your doing as well as can be expected after your knee surgery. Are you off for two weeks for Christmas break? Shelly great bonus!!! Hi Jo how are you doing? Gabrielle have a great run today. I will be back later need to get my roast in the crock pot I will be back soon
Jenny

Jenny, wow, wow that was some party and Bonus! sweet! glad you both had a good time and won something. Smart to put that away in savings. I remember leaving the kids alone for the first time. We just went to the grocery store. I wanted to call as soon as I got there. I did keep in contact with them but man, was that hard. It just gets harder, for different things but harder as they get older.
Oh yeah Steven passed his test for the learners permit. I took him out for his first driving lesson yesterday. OMG!! I was white knuckling it the whole time. We went to a church parking lot right down he road from us. OH my was it nerve wracking. I'm going to have to check on what driving lessons cost. Steve won't do it, he would make Steven too nervous. OiY! that was hard.
Gabrielle, Oh I knew what you meant but dealing with teenagers. She doesn't have that connection of cause and effect. Oh that had to be scary worrying about DS. So glad he is safe and sound but those poor parents of the teenagers. Oh my. That was a great picture of you and DH. Glad the party was nice.
Shelly, you tell them! that is right, if they are not dependable they should be fired. Kids today just have a different work ethic and its sad that the parents let them get away with it. Well even some adults do too. Bet you are busy at work with the holidays coming up.
well time to make cut out cookies. and find a washing machine. We can to next door to DBILs but you know.....

Evening all. Need to post on here and then get to bed. Still didn't get my tree up and think I'm just not going to do it this year. We are never home and I am always so tired when I get home so will just pass Not that I don't like decorating but it's n less than a week and my furniture is so heavy to move I can't do it by myself and by 7 or 8 to get DH to help move stuff and have supper ect just to much. We will still do presents just no tree unless I go find a small one to put up. Might do that
Sue saves your recipe. May try it out if I find time. Glad your DSSIL has a job and DSB has me lined out. Sounds like everything fell into place with them
Christine thanks for starting us off today Hope the knee heals quickly. I'm sure the exercises they have for you will be painful for a bit but it will get better. Do you have any rehab scheduled. I'm sure all the noise was aggravating especially when you didn't feel good. Glad you was able to get some naps in Nice of your neighbors to invite the girls over and send extras home so you won't have to cook. Omg really they gave DH grief for taking off to be with you for surgery. That's a bunch of bull. No one should ever be given grief because their spouse is having surgery.
Carole. I hope my shopping got done on amazon Friday. I still have some packages due to arrive anytime from my previous order too. Not going to fight the crowds they get what shows up. Hope you are enjoying the HSM membership. I'm just going to take the free way for now and use the MFP or lose it. Can't afford anything else right now. Thinking of stopping my chiropractor appt too for now. Just not sure. I sure hope Karen is not getting paid for her time away. Not sure how I would deal with that. It sure seems long Ken more and more adults have lost what it's like to have work ethics. They just don't care anymore.
Nadine sorry to "me" time this morning. Hope you got some this afternoon
Carole glad you had a good time spending with family even if you didn't enjoy movie. Oh Carole I DO NOT keep up with anything. Just way to tired Sorry no help I know. Wish I could afford to have someone clean up after me. Sorry DH former boss hasn't came through with the bonus they promised. Hope they come through soon.
Jo sorry you didn't get to sleep in. I didn't either. I was really hopping to. I've heard about blue apron but have never checked into it.
