Monday Monday WLS EXPRESS
Good morning,
Had a productive weekend. I got my Christmas shopping done and got most of it wrapped. Last night I got my Christmas village set up and all plugged in.
I have to work all week but should be slow since most folks will be out on vacation this week. I plan to get caught up on the little things I've push aside till later, later has arrived.
Need to make a trip to the grocery store and bank as well.
Prayers for baby Aiden.
Have a great day.

Morning Alissa and TMB Family,
I am up and doing laundray. I am about to go get my yearly mamogram....thrill thrill right !!! LOL I am about as done with Christmas shopping as I am going to get. I don't think my hubby and I are going to do anything for each other right now. I found out last night that I will be able to spend a "little bit of time" at Teen Challenge with Shawn on Christmas day but not going to get to share Christmas dinner with him. Not sure if he will open his gifts that day or wait till he has a pass. I will have to ask him tomorrow night when I see him what he wants to do. I have to begin baking. I have done cookies and froze them. We're having Mexican food for Christmas...we did this once before and didn't care for it....maybe it will be a new tradition. LOL I doubt it though. Not much going on in my life right now. Prayers for baby Aiden and Dana hope you and others get much needed rest over the Christmas weekend. Have a blessed day !!!
Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CAN NOT CHANGE; COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT I CAN; AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE !!!! THIS IS MY DAILY PRAYER.

Hey You Guys!
Back at work for the next few days...counting down to Wednesday at noon. I leave here and get Kaylee from the airport. I'll be heading out with my "hair on fire" to get to DFW on time. I miss Charlene saying that quote!
Saturday I helped run a stock show for our school's FFA program. We do a show every year to raise money for different things. With the education budget the way it is the extra money that we contribute helps. Last year we sent some kids to state convention, bought gas and hotels for teachers, bought our kids animals that "made sale" at the county stock show, and bought a bunch of welding equipment.
I have Bailey's Chirstmas bought. Blake's has been done. I've been doing research on Addison's and will get it on Friday. I'm still doing research on Kaylee's and I have no clue what to get Chase. Everyone's small things are bought except for one thing for Bailey. Hers is a trip to the mall and one store. I need to lay everything out tonite and double check that things are somewhat even. I just buy as I go and usually it all works out, but I still like to double check in case I forgot something.
I'm tired of the baby daddy drama in my life! I bought Kaylee's plane ticket to DFW, am paying for her taxi to the airport from the Atlanta side, give her gas money throughout the week for the car I bought her so she can get to school and such and put insurance on, pay her health insurance and so on and so forth.... (the point is I get to foot the bill on everything because their dad is an idiot, and yet he still feels like he has a right to call the shots. I'm not saying that money gives me a right to tell them what to do, they are adults. My thought is- if you can't be there to support them for the important stuff then stay the hell out of the other things as well. Put up or shut up in other words) Her dad every year has a stupid fit about the kids ONLY spending time with HIM on Christmas Eve. I want an hour or two on Christmas Eve and an hour or two on Christmas Day. He can have the rest of the 44 hours as he so chooses. Instead he's decided that Kaylee can leave his parent's house at 5 on Christmas Eve and he'll be by my house at 6:15 to pick her back up and that she's not allowed to drive my car, he wants to get her. (This leaves her stranded and at his mercy). It takes over 30 minutes to get from one location to another. He went so far as to tell Chase that since I get to spend time with Chase and he doesn't get to as often (because he moved), that he should take that into consideration and be with him. I reminded Chase that his dad chose to move to California and that wasn't my fault. Chase's girlfriend laughed because she told Chase the same thing. The kids are 19 and 21 and their dad still tries to manipulate and bully them. It all reminds me of why the divorce got finalized! Good ridance!
Sorry to share my drama.
I need to get a couple of kids for therapy. We are just having fun this week because their little minds are so not into learning right now. And truthfully mine isn't into doing "brain surgery" and importing knowledge into their cute little heads.
Hope everyone has an amazing day!

I buy as I go along too, but this year I didn't put them all in one place until after I realized I bought Emily (my neice) several things already for Christmas and nothing for her sister. lol. After that I got a tub from the garage and put them all together. I also put the wrapping paper in it. Bryan is a last minute buyer which is why we were out ALL weekend shopping!
(((Tracey))) baby daddy drama is never fun. Sorry you are dealing with this right now. I'm sure I'll experience some of that stuff too as time goes on. I wasn't suppose to have my boys until Christmas evening but their Dad's workshift changed so I'll have them for both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. He gets off on the 26th so he'll get them for a few days after Christmas.

Got to Dad's yesterday morning - doing my Christmas baking today - making a lot of it low sugar for my personal enjoyment :)
no non sugared coffee in this house! OMG! had to make a star bucks run and fast before my head exploded, I don't even think he owns a coffee pot -may buy an espresso machine like mine at home for while I am here and then gift it to someone here or take it home and take it to the resale shop anything other than lack of caffeine - I don't WANT to wean off my coffee!!
kids are having fun watching movies and playing with all the neat toys at grandpa's house - we met his soon to be wife yesterday - neat lady, having Rach call her Mimi like her grand kids do, just seems right
Tim and Dad are off to get bike helmets and go for a ride while I bake - can't wait to see some of my TX peeps
peace

Good Monday morning all. The nice thing about working weekends is that my week is half over. Woohoo. Just today and tomorrow then 4 days off. I have to work on Christmas because my company observes it on the Monday after since it is on Sunday so I had to either take vacation or work and due to my recent medical issues there is no vacation so I will be at work. I then voluntered to work the observed holiday because who needs the day after Christmas off??? It will be double time and a half which will be useful for catching up after Christmas. So I may not be on the train tomorrow because we are getting up early and heading to DFW to see my brother who has a lay over. He is flying in from Japan and I haven't seen him in over three years. I can't wait to hug his neck. Merry Christmas to me! Hope everyone has a great week.
I'm not perfect but I'm me and that is good enough!
