plan g

howdy,

I am on to plan g now.
after exhausting all means of finding 2 people  to each work 1/2 day....I am staying
here in nomansland to work  wed/thurs/fri. after christmas.
THE VERY  REASON I HAVE NEVER TAKEN A FULL TIME JOB BEFORE.
We leave at 1:30 christmas day to drive 3 hrs to meet my mom and sister in Jackson MS to
let them take K and C to LA.
(keith and I) can get there at 11p friday night.


oh yeah, we get to drive 3 hrs back to memphis and go to work the next  3 days.
I am waiting for Keith to tell me he cannot make it friday due to work.....and
I am going without him.


it is christmas...and my attitude is awful...thankfully i have a day to work on a
new attitude.

Merry Merry

Hope everyone is in the holiday spirit!  We finally got some snow this week - then rain (yuck!).  My friend Erin was here last week and it was really a nice visit.  She relaxed, I had my friend come over and give her a massage in front of the fireplace and we generally vegged out.

I have to wrap up a couple of things for Christmas - almost done.  The kids are done but right now I am contemplating returning the extremely expensive hiking tent we got for Parrish (yes, apparently 1 pound less of weight adds about $200 to the cost of a tent) and get something nice for myself.  A new pair a Frye boots - yes please.  We all know I won't do it - martyr that I am.  Contemplating this being the last year of the elf and having him leave a note with a stuffed elf saying that he is going to another house until Belle has children.  I am so damn sick of that thing and all the focus Belle puts on it.  We went on the "Elf Express" this weekend - a train that runs from a local town for about an hour ride.  It was really sweet.  The cars were dining cars so we all had tables.  The local high school had their dance team dress up like elves and they put on a whole performance ending with the arrival of Santa along with cookies and hot chocolate.  I don't think anyone enjoyed it more than Belle.  She was smiling so big.

Loved getting a note from Dana and pictures from y'all.  Merry Christmas!

one more time

hey all,
spent the better part of the late afternoon in the orthopaedic office.
it seems that 2 kids were horsing around tripping other
students and Kevin fell.
dr was not able to actually see the fracture...but the symptoms fit
a fracture at the growth plate on the left wrist.

neon green cast for 3 wks.
BUT that puts it christmas week and the dr is off!!
so 3 1/2 weeks it is.

apparently another child needed stitches on the forehead!!

Corinne is having a great time at club volleyball.  she may end up as a setter.
hoooray!!

Brenda, I have a bag of clothes for emerson...just need to get them to Cari.

see ya!!

normalcy

hi all,
 we are back from La.
no one was allowed to take electronics with us for the usual reasons....except for the
i pod that had not seen the light of day  for a really long time.  sneaky boy.

so  K and C hold it together for 3 days and VOILA!!  electronics back in possession.
hmmm just too darn quiet in that house....
he is under her skin in a nano sec.
THIS time it is all out war over who's turn it is to take a bath first!!

Well throwing wire hangers at someone doesn't win u points,neither yelling at mom and dad or slapping or slamming any door nearby.

omg those hormones are ragin!

the agitator felt a wee bit responsible for all the ruckus and  slinked off.

oh, why does she always take the bait!!!!!!
