Happy Thanksgiving

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I have so much to be thankful for. I'll be back with pictures after our special trip!

Foggy

That's how my brain feels today, foggy. I guess all the "busyness" finally caught up to me. The girls and I spent the morning running errands. Including a trip to the vet for Napolean. Would you believe our little love is already considered obese? I was shocked. I had spent the last week or so concerned he wasn't eating enough. Poor boy will be dieting soon. Of course I'm going to let him get through the holidays.

The King will be home later tonight and tomorrow we will go over to my Mom's house to feast. Later in the afternoon we plan to put up all of the indoor Christmas decorations. I love to decorate and I'm hoping it makes it feel a little more like the holidays. Hopefully we'll get our snow tomorrow. I'll try and post a picture of the family I'm so very thankful to have tomorrow!

Catch Up

November started out strong blog wise and then I fizzled out. I've been busy really, but that's nothing new. I'm actually going through a fairly productive streak and not wanting to sit down much. I am reading everyone's entries even though I haven't written much myself or commented for that matter.

We've been battling colds for the last week or so but with some extra vitamin C we're doing better. Just in time with Thanksgiving being right around the corner and only 3 days until our surprise! Chiggie is out of school all week and I've enjoyed the more relaxed mornings. We've been getting up at our usual time just to keep the routine going but just not having to rush around makes all the difference.

I did get my camera back. You wouldn't know it with my lack of picture posting. I actually got it back last Wednesday. The concert was Tuesday and a lady saw the camera and took it home. I had to jump through hoops to get it back. She took it home and called the school with her information. I had to identify the camera and then drive clear out into the mountains to her isolated cabin (not kidding) just to pick it up. I was wishing at that point she just would've turned it in, but beggars can't be choosers.

We're expecting a snow storm on Thanksgiving and I'm hoping it happens. How exciting that would be for the girls. Tea has been asking everyday when it will snow. They really want to go sledding this year. Maybe a sled would be a good idea for one of their presents. I've rambled enough. I hope everyone is having a great holiday week!

Picture This...

Okay so picture this. You are at an elementary school music concert. The performance has ended and people are starting to leave. In a row nearby you see a small leather bag under an empty seat. You take a look and discover it's a camera bag. You assume it's been forgotten by its owner. What do you do?

A.) You turn the bag in to a staff member. The Principal and several other administrative staff
members are present.

B.) You take the camera back to your house and call the school in the morning with the information instructing them to give any inquisitive callers your number.

C.) Consider it your new camera. The old owner obviously didn't care about it or they wouldn't have just left it laying there.

Just curious, don't worry I'll follow up.

Good Weekend

The fact that I haven't posted in the last couple of days was actually a good sign. Boo finally got to feeling well enough that we were able to leave the house again. She is no longer taking 'round the clock breathing treatments although I am still giving them at night. Her personality has really perked up and she is not nearly as clingy as she had been for quite some time.



Yesterday we went out of town for the day with my Mom and little sisters. We went Christmas shopping at the mall and out to dinner. The girls had a fabulous time and loved seeing all of the Christmas decorations. A part of me can't believe the Holidays are already here. It's exciting and we have some fun things planned. I have a busy week ahead of me planning for two trips in less than 7 days!

Quick Update!

I meant to post last night but lucky for me I called it a night much earlier than usual. Things are going better. Boo is sleeping better than ever now that her lungs are clearing up. Today the little girls and I spent over 3 hours outside raking and planting bulbs. The yard looks so much better and just in time as snow is predicted tomorrow. I can't wait to see what my spring flower garden will look like.

End Already

This week just needs to end. Get it over with already. It has been miserable. Between Chiggie not wanting to go to school and Boo being so sick I have been stressed out to the max. I have so many things that I want to do but I just cannot find a focal point. It's times like these that make the King being gone so hard.
