Jamie, I think you read my mind.   It's so hard when it's so cold outside to keep them busy.   It's supposed to warm up here for a few days so I'm hoping to get out a bit.   Sadie loves to play games like candyland...we got her some of the lacing cards recently and she's enjoying them for now....we do playdoh....oh and she loves to help me cook so I let her help stir etc...   We read books but usually that's at bedtime.  I'm so tired lately that it's hard to keep interacting with her....heck I'm ready for bed long before she is.

Topic: Help!!! Keeping 3 y.o. occupied/distracted
Any of you parents have any suggestions???

It is cold & dark here.  Dark when Hunter & I leave in the morning, and dark when we pull into the driveway in the evening.

Too much TV & his 3 year old age.... I am stumped.  (when I turn off the TV he will throw a FIT, and he has been having a real temper this week, I know it is age-related too)

I want to LEAVE the TV off..... and play games, crafts, play with his toys, interact with him.


The house is JUST TOO SMALL this time of the year, did I mention that it is dark & cold???

Oh Heather, I hate the cold!!   It's 3 degrees here right now.   We don't have much snow yet.   I'd rather have the snow than the cold....usually once it snows though we get a blast of really cold.  I am freezing here today and typing with my gloves on.   My electric heater I had in my office here started sparking and the cord was on fire this morning.   Scared the heck outta me!!   I now am freezing.   My hubby will probably laugh at me cuz I turned the thermostat up to 70.....til I can go out and either get a new heater or an electric throw blanket for when i'm working.  

Glad to hear you're enjoying being back in AK!!

Morning!  Crazy busy here at work this a.m.  First chance I have had to pop on.  Plan to do some more christmas shopping at lunch & then again after work.  Hubby is working late so it will be a good thing to do why I wait on him.  I hope to get the majority of things done so I don't have to worry about it any more.

Good morning Michelle!   I have an idea for your babysitter.  Why not a gift card to best buy or something?  Then she can go pick out something she really likes and know Sadie was thinking of her!

As for here in AK it is COLD!  We are supposed to get additional snow up to 7 inches today/tonight and the low is supposed to be -10!  I love it!  I sooooo missed the cold. 

Anyway, as for us we are all hunky dorry!  Have to get to work now.  Have a great day!

Yep Wacky it will be I think.   Actually I'm hoping it'll be somewhat relaxing.  It's my day off!!! O****uit dreaming....if I didn't have to work OT it'd be my day off.   I'm working 6 hrs this morning until 11:30am then will log off.   Sadie has 1 gift to buy for the college girl who takes care of her at church on Sundays and Thursday evenings.   Not sure what to get her.....any suggestions???   She's 20 yrs old....dad's  a Dr...mom's a nurse probably has no needs but we want to show her how much she means to us and especially to Sadie.   Sadie thinks the world of her and her older sister.   She really looks up to them both.   I'm thinking we may head to the mall after I'm done with work and before dance class.  Ok so after that is dance class then it'll be home to get some supper together and if I still have the energy I'll work another 2 hrs later this evening....yeahhhhh what a day off LOL.  

Yesterday was a pretty good day.   Got my work accomplished.   Didn't quite get what I wanted to made for dinner as I was out of something.   Threw together something way different.   The refridgerator door fell off so spent a bunch of time watch DH fight with it and finally crawled down on the floor and within 5 mins got it all back on again myself.   Should've done it to start with.  Sadie and I went to her school last night and she had a great time.   We made an ornament for our tree.   She got some new books from an order we put in a couple of weeks ago so we had new things to read before bed.   Daddy and I tucked her in and I was right behind her going to bed. 


Jamie, thanks for thinking of DH.   He's doing ok.....the weight loss is very very very slow.   He lost like 40 lbs right away and I don't think he's lost any more for quite a few months here.   Of course if he'd give up the sweets he might again lol.  He is finally noticing restriction from the band...not quite a full restriction yet but he's gotten many things stuck now.  Hopefully the weight loss will be coming now too.


Hope you all have a great day!

Morning ladies.  Good here!  I got my first paycheck from my promotion!  I am a happy girl today...:) 

Congrats on Five years Michelle!  That is awesome.

Court, hope your husbands ex gets her ducks in a row soon!

Not too much here, it is snowing here too!  Not far from Jamie so that makes sense.  Hope y'all have a happy Tuesday!

Court, talk about hectic & FRUSTRATION!!!  Hopefully, girlie's mom will get car back super soon!!

Michelle, how is hubby doing with his lapband??  Been a while sis I have read an update on how he is doing with it & CONGRATS on 5 years, THAT ROCKS!!!!  WOO HOO!!!!!

I had forgotten yesterday, while I was at home Saturday night with an upset tummy, that DH took Hunter & they saw fieworks (then night after Santa... talk about an exciting weekend for a 3 year old!!!)
We have my family Christmas coming up on Saturday, we usually celebrate on Christmas day, bub my mom will be gone in Hawaii, so we wanted to all be together.  It is SNOWING, and snowing & snowing here.  It snowed yesterday as well, but really no accumulation, maye 3 inches, ALL DAY, and it snowed ALL DAY??  curious.
Anyways, we have over 6 inches today, just since last night & it is showing no signs of slowing down, it is definately accumulating today!!!  Making up for yesterday!!! we had 14 above this morning & yesterday, I think it was 13 above.  So, lots of shoveling, and plowing in my future, along with snowy roads to navigate all day!!!!


Have a GRAET day, ladies, After work, I see a few snow angels in my yard!!!!

Life is good here!!   A little less hectic last night at least.   Yesterday was 5 yr surgiversary for me!!  100lbs down still.   What an amazing 5 yrs it's been.   We have a friend who had lapband yesterday so we now share a day each yr to celebrate!  I spent a couple of hours with a friend ldear employee:ast night.   We went out for dinner just the 2 of us.  I then took my son to Walmart quick and headed home.   Read some books to Sadie and tucked her into bed. Momma was right behind her.   I'm still tired today though because she was up 3 times last night.   She's never up so I'm hoping she's not getting sick.  She's still sleeping this morning though so that's good.  Tonight is her school and DH has a meeting.  I need to work on my Xmas cards yet as well.   Geesh the time is just flying by.

No meetings at work today woohoo!!!!  

Have a good day!
