Since there is no sugar in my house, Auston's elf got into the coffee to make a snow angel! Auston has a mess to clean up.

I wish I could train that elf to make coffee! That would be handy!

Those elves sure can stir up mischief! And some words of advice - Hide your toilet paper! They seem to be especially attracted to it. One morning the girls woke up to discover their bedroom doors had been barricaded with it.

Thanks for starting us up with a smile, Chelby.

This afternoon is Audrey's orchestra concert at school. Cindy is going to one in the morning, so she can warn me what to expect.

Other than that, it'll be another late day with gymnastics this evening.

Late check-in this morning. I think I am finally getting this going back to sleep thing down pat. Now I need to figure out how to program the furnace thermostat so I can waken to a warm house.

Darned elves! One of them was on my back porch last night and got into the pot of turkey stock I'd put out there to chill! I'm pretty sure he was dressed in fur with a black mask. Then he left to make the coffee angel and TP the girls' door down in PA.

Wrapped two more gifts yesterday and am really feeling on top of things. I do need to make one more big trip into town to get goodie-making supplies and more coffee pods fro the Keurig but am feeling in control. I still haven't done the outside lights although I did mess around with a festive and Christmassy pot for the side door.

Dogs need out - again! What's with that? Back in a bit.

Good morning all. Love those elves but my coffee is off limits

One of my favorite DD stories ever - when she was about 6-7 she was visiting my Mom and had an attitude attack. Mom tried the Santa is watching thing, desperate times and all. My little charmer put her hands on her hips and said, "That's not true Grandma. I was pretty bad last year and I still got lots of presents." She had a knack for saying things that made us want to laugh out loud in the middle of being annoyed, my little attitude queen.

DW is back in the hospital for a few days. We came in through the ER but this is a standard treatment for myasthenia. Just couldn't wait a month to schedule it as an outpatient. Can't believe how many miles I'm putting on my car this fall, 28-30 days at a hospital an hour away really adds up.

Time to get cracking. Happy Twosday everyone

Good morning!

Cyndi - Sorry to hear about DW.

Yesterday ended up crazy busy for me. Today should be much quieter. I need to get some more items on my holiday gift lists which I had hoped to get done yesterday before the rain got here. Oh well, I won't melt. I did lots of my shopping online this year and packages will be trickling in for days. My goal is to be done and wrap before my boys get home so I don't need to hide behind closed doors.

My eating has been OP and once again I am reminded how much better I feel when I eat well

TwynnB · 12-13-2011, 08:39 AM

I'm with you Karen - I feel so much better when I eat well. I wish I'd always remember that when I'm reaching for something bad!

Cyndi - sorry to hear about DW - hope she feels better soon. Is this going to be typical with MG?

I just made three lunches, got ham and bean soup in the crock pot, and rode the bike for 30 minutes. The van is heating up to get to work -- it's COOOOLD out there!!

Have a great day!

Coffee is TOTALLY off limits!

Cyn - tell J I said she better get well soon or I will have to make a trip up there and she'll have to deal with my warped sense of humor in person! That should do it

Still busy here in the office and won't settle until next week. Trekking to NY this weekend for MOH duties (my BFF is getting married in Aruba next year. Hopefully, I will be at goal by then!). Stopping in NJ for girls night with a friend and staying over there. Then Sat it's David's Bridal and planning, and I get to see my niece and nephew and do a mini-Xmas with them. Sunday I might see my father, who knows, before heading back down here. Oye! I am tired just thinking about all I have to fit in during 2 days!

Off to work I go...

The elves are so cute, maybe if you leave a cookig out for them they will clean your house for you! ( I could use one in that case!)

Just put turnips on to cook for supper. Running out of ideas again.

And I agree, when you eat off plan I sure feel it. My tummy doesn't doesn't like those things anymore.

Jenne, make sure you take it easy this weekend, don't get run down. I don't know how you travel so much and still live your regular life. I would be wiped out.

Cyndi sorry to hear about DW, thinking of you.

Hope everyone has a warm and fuzzy evening.

Lexxiss · 12-13-2011, 06:59 PM

Hello all...I did not get here this morning, work came too soon. I hope to see you all earlier tomorrow.

Cyndi,

Take care everyone.
