HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I can't say I'm not glad to see the end of 2011. Not nearly as glad as I was to see the end of 2009, though. The Holidays are over and they were good. It was great to have my son, Jonathon, home for Christmas. Just watching my kids interact and enjoy life makes everything good. My hubby went to the Tin Shack in Georgetown and got some of my Christmas gifts.....lucky me! I LOVE that place! I am going to redo a very short wall in my dining area so the gifts are for that area. I have been eyeing a nightlight/tart warmer that was in the Country Sampler...I now own it! I am looking forward to just doing some things that I have been wanting to do. My client got me a "cricut" and some cartridges along with some accessories and her daughter got me some more accessories and scrapbooking stuff. I have made an appointment with myself to have some play time tomorrow!
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all! Oh, yes! Unlike some people I didn't gain a pound over the holidays in spite of homemade cinnamon rolls, candy, chocolate and other good stuff. I am proud of me!!!

A days work.........

I left work, went home, hubby jumped in van, dropped him off at work, shopped for a bit, went home, had hot tea, cleaned a little, went to bank, back home to clean more, went to library, took hubby some lunch, back home to take a nap, up to finish cleaning, put leftover food in oven to heat, took Seth to work, grocery shopped, went to Walgreens, picked hubby up, back to bank, home to eat, foot massage from hubby, back to get Seth. Home again, showered and off to bed I go, where I slept for 7 straight hours! YES!!!
I forgot to mention that I am very thankful that the antibiotic didn't give me a black, hairy tongue like it said it could. That would of just been too gross! I guess my days of struggling with this wisdom tooth and having it go away are over. I had the antibiotic and RX pain relief and it is better but it still hurts. Looks like it is time to get it taken out. DREADFUL thought. I am hoping to put it off until after Christmas but most definitely will not let myself get to where I was on the infection/pain level. I told hubby if I could only get rid of the right side of my body I would be ok! Tooth, knee, leg and foot all hurt on that side! I thought my knee pain was better..........until I went off the high dose pain meds! No such luck! Getting old isn't fun at all! Better than the alternative but still...........

YAY!

Thanksgiving was GREAT! We waited until evening to eat so Jake could be there. I got home and was done with all the prep work by 12:00 then I went to pick up my hubby from work. After I ate some lunch we were trying to decide what to do next and he figured he better take a nap because he had to get up at 2 A.M. to go to work. I can't believe I took a 2 hour nap and still got everything done! I mean, seriously I can't let him nap alone can I? This morning I woke up when he was getting ready to go to work but dozed off while he was eating. Lucky for him........he let me know he was leaving then I fell back to sleep. I am not used to being woke up by an alarm so I found it annoying. My "alarm" rubs my back and tells me it is time to get up! I also missed my hubby when I had to drive to work alone. I am used to having that time to talk or be in companionable silence!!!

HAPPY PEOPLE!

I was just in the business of making people happy Sunday. I was still feeling really awful so I stayed home from church. Seth forgot I was there and was wondering what they would have for dinner..........he didn't know quite what to think when he came in and smelled "good food." He turned around and saw me and the look on his face was priceless!! Later, hubby wanted a chocolate covered cherry minus the cherry so I took it out and ate it. He told Seth it was a special lady that would eat the cherry so you could have the yummy stuff without eating the nasty cherry. I personally like the cherry and will eat them out of the jar! Yep, I was sure making people happy that day!!!

WHEW!

I had to come back to work to rest!!! I got yesterday and left to shop. Got back home and rested for awhile...went to the laundry mat then it was interview time for my girl. Dropped her off, went back to laundry mat. She told me she was done so back to get her and she got the job......orientation Friday, she needed a work permit, photo ID, and a Dr's ok! UH, really? Everything is closed Thursday. SOOOO, run to the school to get WP app. Run home to take Jake to work. Let hubby know what is up and get advice on how to proceed. He said he could take her Friday to get photo ID so take her to Dr. Stopped at KFC to get WP filled out, rush to Dr. Run home and start some clothes, run to get hubby, found out that he meant 4 A.M. Friday not 4 P.M. UH-OH! so he decided he would take a long lunch to take her to get ID today. I am tired............I didn't even have time to fix dinner so I ate cereal and fed my guys fried eggs! I did get up in time to fix my hubby some oatmeal this morning.
