Good Afternoon Ladies!!!
Brenda: Sounds like you had a great time yesterday, and an "interesting" bus ride home! And you are correct. We can't wait!!! Seems with all of the baby stuff coming into the house lately, it's finally seeming REAL! DH is getting so excited as is everyone else in the families. Everyone in my family and his family thought we would never have kids after being together 16 years...but we surprised them!! My SIL goes yard-saleing every Saturday morning, and this morning she got a crib bumper, crib sheets, and a mobile for me. Everything looks brand new!!! I was so excited! She's always getting me something or the baby something!! She's the best SIL anyone could ever ask for!!! I think she's the one that is the most excited about the baby..except for me that is!
Carrie: Happy early b day to your DH. Sounds like he is going to be really surprised! Also your low carb Christmas sounds great. It's nice when your family supports you like that!
Marie: About time you got back into here lady!!! You've been missed!! We are already used to the tree getting things knocked off! Our black lab Rocky wags his tail constantly, knocking every thing on the bottom off
Takes him a few days to get used to the tree, but after that he usually just lays around and looks at it. We have a little snowman that dances and plays "Frosty the Snowman" He hates that thing!!! He's scared to death of it! It's funny to turn it on and watch the 100lb macho dog go running with his tail between his legs
Sounds like you have a very busy Christmas planned! A trip to Scotland????? How nice!!! Me and my mom were in Nashville one year the week before Christmas, and the Opryland hotel was absolutely georgous!! They sure know how to decorate! Gatlinburg is always nice!! That is one of mine and DH's favorite vacation spots! You'll only be about 8 hours from here....so drop by for some hot chocolate
TG: About time you got your butt back in here too lady! Sorry that you have been so busy at work lately! Great job of going to the gym though. Sounds like you are doing great! I know what you mean about dreading Christmas. This is the first year that I ever really remember dreading it. I think it's I am just dreading getting the tree and decorations up. Usually I have them up by the weekend after Thanksgiving. Not this year. Seems like I just don't have the energy to do it, and DH has been working some really long hours at work. Next week he will be working first shift, so he is going to help me get the tree and decorations up one night. He's being such a sweetie lately as he knows I have no energy to do anything!
Well, nothing much happening here. DH worked today and I think he has gone deer hunting this afternoon. He said he was if he got off work in time. I took a nap and when I got up I could tell he had been home, so guess he's off rambling in the woods. Went to the Christmas parade here today. Had a pretty good time. My neice and nephews were there and it was nice to see them having such a fun time. People were throwing out candy like crazy. My 2 nephews were grabbing it like crazy and my neice couldn't get any! They were being mean to her, so the pregnant lady had to step in and get the candy for her. One of my nephews said for an old pregnant lady I sure could get down good to get the candy! Told him many more comments like that and he would see how good an old pregnant lady could beat him up
Needless to say though, at the end of the parade, my neice had 2 pockets full of candy, and the boys didn't have half as much!! Well, I guess I better get my butt in gear and see if I can get a few things done before DH gets home. He doesn't know it yet, but he's taking me somewhere for dinner. Unless of course he wants to cook!
Hope you ladies have a great night!
