I am working from home until 12:00 then heading to Chris's school for his holiday party. I was up there from 3:30-5:40 yesterday decorating. It was just me and another mom that showed up to decorate the hallway so it took a while. We have 170 kids in our group-6 classrooms. We're having a chocolate fountain- well 2- and the kids were asked to bring certain things- marshmallows, pretzel sticks, etc to put in the fountain. Now, I wouldn't have gone with something that extreme or messy but I didn't get a say-the other moms had done it the year before and they wanted to do it again. So I'm along for the ride! Chris doesn't like chocolate so he'll just eat the snack food on its own. Strange boy. lol.
We hope to see the St Louis arch tomorrow, then we're seeing Bryan's family in Indiana in the afternoon, then hope to be in PA-near Philly- on Saturday around noon. I can't wait!At first I complained about driving but now I'm excited about it. I have a book of fun facts and stories that I can read to everyone, we have DVD's, games, and Chris has a Harry Potter book he just started on so we'll have tons to do.
Prayers for healing for those in need, jobs for those who are unemployed, and safe travels for all that are heading out. Danni-have a GREAT trip!
Good Morning Danni and the rest of my TMB Family,
It's almost Friday! Yahhh. Alissa I noticed you guys are driving. Please be safe. We are supposed to maybe get a decent ammount of snow on Saturday. Just be safe. Danni I guess you guys are driing too right? Again please be careful. Both of you keep an eye on that weather. We dont plan on going anywhere for Christmas. Tim and Jon will be here either Friday night or early Saturday morning to do Christmas with us. I cant wait. Have spoiled my grandson. Thats what Grandma's are for. Had a great day yesterday. Went shopping and got a few things for Eric, and few more things for Jon. Then Mark and I went shopping again last night looking for more stuff for Eric. He is so easy going and really does not care what he gets. Found some Models last night at Michaels. He loves doing that kind of stuff. Nothing planned for today except to go and get blood work done. House is a mess and laundry is piling up so will work on that. It is 27 outside so wil stay in as much as I can. Well guess that is from this end. Congrats to Annette for finding a job. Nice to know God is still answering prayers! :) Prayers to all this morning that are in need. Have a blessed day. Love you guys
Good Morning Train!
I'm up and at 'em and back into my routine this morning, at least for a couple of days anyway.... I'm off all next week.... and part or all of that will be spent with my Mom in Arkansas.... I'm not big on planning ahead, just when it happens, it does.....
Prayers are going up for all that need them!
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go
Take a look in the five-and-ten,
Glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in ev'ry store
But the prettiest sight to see
Is the holly that will be
On your own front door.
A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben
Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen
And mom and dad can hardly wait for school to start again.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel,
On ein the park as well
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring
Is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart.
Ya'll have a great day my friends!

This Ambien is weird. I take it and go RIGHT to sleep at 9 pm and then I'm awake at 2 am! I don't get it. I thought it was supposed to make you sleep all night? Guess I'm just weird! But now I'm waking up tired every morning. More so than before I started the sleeping pills! Maybe I should lay off them for a while and see how I do without them.
Well, better get into the shower and get to work. Y'all have a great day! Love ya!

For Christmas, I will be at my house or my BF's house celebrating our very first Christmas together. We live three streets apart so not much traveling there LOL. I will leave Saturday to take my youngest son to stay with my oldest for a couple of weeks. They have such a close bond...you'd think they were twins instead of being almost six years apart.
People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried about what they eat between the New Year and Christmas. ~Author Unknown
Today I have lots of paperwork to do. I have to run funeral food to church this morning; have no idea who the older man was that died but I'm bringing food because I got a call to do so. High School Ladies Christmas party tonight. I'm picking up my sister and it should be fun. She teaches the HS concurrent gov't classes and is friends w/ the lady hosting it so gets to go too. We have to take a White Elephant gift and a gift for a teenager. Should be fun. Ben has to wash dishes that he didn't do yesterday and go to the dentist for his 6 month checkup today.
Prayers for all who need them.
Have a great day!
