Good Monday evening everyone.
It is 33 days and 4 hours until Christmas
Must be because of all of those Christmas cookies he eats.
Mrs. Claus is feeding him to many sweets….LOL
Glad to hear your husband is getting better, will cheer your heart to hear that good news. It`s been a long haul for you both.
Thank you. I’am so thankful he is doing so much better. It is time for things to start looking up for sure.
Never heard of squishmallows? They sound cute though.....yes, always something new to catch the little one`s eyes.
It seems they come up with new things all the time for the young ones. They are really cute soft pillows with different character designs.
no one I know has decorated yet, most of us wait till the end of November beginning of December.....I am looking forward to doing all the trees and decorations last Saturday of this month....open a bottle of wine, have sweet mince pies and little snacks around......not that different to a normal Saturday now I think on it......lol......
Sounds like a nice time. Decorating the house does make things so cheerful and really puts one in the Christmas spirit for sure. Enjoy.
I would love to visit a Hobby Lobby!!! They look amazing! It is nice to see the stores with stock of chirstmas items. Last year, there was not nearly enough around, so I think people are buying because there was a shortage last year. Our seasonal section at HomeSense, has been really picked over in the last 2 weeks. We have had a ton of stock go through and our shelves were full all of October with stock always coming in to fill what was going out the door, but it has slowed down now. It is getting harder and harder to make beautiful displays with what is left.
Yes, people here are really in the Christmas spirit for decorating. I have been seeing folks buying some interesting things for their trees. I had to go back to Hobby Lobby for another thing for my kitchen tree and they were mobbed saturday.
Squishmallows are hugely popular here too! They are super cute and another fab/collectable.
They are really cute. I did find one I thought great-granddaughter would like. It’s one of the larger ones.
Robo, I found the cheapest smashmellows at Costco. Little one, no matter how old she is, got a good sized cow one there. We have their store in our biggest mall. Did pick up a 12 pack of little ones at Costco and my young nieces and nephew love them when we face them last year.
I looked at the ones they had online at Cotsco and they had limited characters to pick from. I think its cute they all have names and Squish dates which I assume is their birthdates. They are like the Cabbage Patch dolls of pillows….LOL
Hey all. It’s been a really scary week for me. middle DS has health issues, scheduled for surgery 3rd week in December. Plan is to take him to Orlando the week before to get him a well-needed boost of cheer.
I’am sorry to hear your son has been so sick. No matter how old our kiddos are they are still our babies so to speak. Sending healing prayers for him to get well and also prayers for you as you continue to advocate for your sons care.
has been feeling really poorly for nearly a month to point where I took to ER thrice. They found some minor issues, treated; yet soon sick again. Last Saturday his oxygen level dropped to such a low level, i thought the meter was broken Called ambulance and he was transported to different hospital as our health system had a four hour stop on patients. The flu & rsv is terrible here.
He is lucky to have a mom to fight for the care he needs. I‘ am so glad to hear you had another hospital to choose from to go to.
turns out he had both bacterial pneunomia & a blood infection from it. Was in hospital for 6 days. have him here now, watching like a hawk. Dr feels another two weeks before he fully rebounds.
I often tell people that you need someone standing beside you advocating for your health needs when you are ill in this ever changing world of healthcare. It sounds like you are not only a wonderful mom, but a wonderful advocate for your families health needs.
Same, from the time they were 3, off we went. Such fun to dress up and do lunch at fancy restaurant in town with them. we all loved it until the PBT decided to ‘mess with it’ and modernize it & set it in our city. Haven’t been back since. Disappointing, do watch it on PBS every year tho At least.
I miss going actually. We did the same thing. It was a lovely night out of dressing up and having a great meal then onto The Nutcracker Ballet. I do miss it. The local ballet here could not match Chicago‘s ballet company performance, but they performed really well.
B's roommate saga continues. She told us today that she is losing her current roommate. She won't be returning after Thanksgiving break. So for those of you following along:
Sorry to hear B is having issues with her roommates hope all works out for her.
Been a long nice day for us having two sons with us.
My how I have missed them
Mac even though it was a short visit I bet you all had a great time. I’am so glad to hear you had a visit from you sons and grandson.
Kev is improved today. Up and showered and has eaten a meal tonight. Changed the bed again and will be back in it fairly early but much better.
RFF good to hear Kev is improving. Continued prayers for his return to good health.
I watched little J today. I had missed him. He is so easy to watch. He is a happy little fellow. He and I went to the Mall today. There is a play area there and he enjoys going there. There are some rides there he enjoys going on too.
I popped into Macy’s and they had a lot of their Clinique products on sale. I found a few things for the ladies that do my hair, nails and massage. I always buy a few things for them for Christmas.
This past weekend I did some wrapping. I only have a few people to buy for and I’am done.
Now its time for thinking of the Thanksgiving dinner. Looking forward to seeing everyone. We are going to have our dinner earlier this year. This well help make sure everyone is able to get here on time and have a hot meal.
Enjoy this Christmas season with all its decorations and cheer. May the peace of this Holy time of celebration bring warmth to your heart and home.
