It's way too early too be awake....my stomach is killling me....we went to chillis and it's just not agreeing with me. Dbf has been snoring all night and had the blankets all tangled up so I just got up. I'll probably go back to sleep here in the spare room.
I'm like a little kid right now watching for the snow to start....they're saying 4-8 inch...so even if they open....I can plan on them closing by noon.
dbf is off too because a floating holiday....so it will be nice just to spend the day together.
Anyone else snowed in?

I have the day off and I slept in till 5! Need to run some errands. I took one of the few peices of jewelry that I got from my mom and had it some of the stones used to make some earrings for dd. It's ready so I am picking that up. I am really excited. Need to clean house. Having my dinner group over tomorrow night for our Christmas party. DD is spending the night out with a friend, but has to be picked up early tomorrow for a thing at church.
Work, pick up ds and going to the library while dd is at a roller skating party, cook chicken lasagna and then head back out with dd to go see the Chronicles of Narnia with her class tonight.

Gotta work sometime today, but I'm waiting for the roads to thaw a little. Get the boys back from their Dad tonight. We're decorating the tree. Need to stop by and get some egg nog for dbf and me after work. Tomorrow morning I have a women's Christmas workshop/conference thing at church, then we're heading to my family's for our pretend Christmas which I was tricked into. Orginally I said I wouldn't travel with the boys for Christmas (which I'm still really not, since Christmas is 2 weeks away). My neice is graduating from college, so my sister was havinging a little gathering on the 10th, which I said I'd come up for. Then, lo and behold, it turns into a combination graduation, Christmas, & my birthday celebration. I had to pull together 10 gifts, drinks and food to share!!! Oh well, I will be waking up Christmas morning with my children, and they're staying!!!
Vea, we got dumped on through the night with snow too...I think it's heading to Mel next :nahnah:
Working today. Don't know what's up for tonight...might go see "Just Friends".
Today is a stay-at-home and do nothing kind of day. :) Had a killer migraine yesterday afternoon and last night and am so relieved that it is gone!
I'll be working more on editing my nanowrimo book today. I found a website where I can self-publish it for only the cost of printing the book!!! 8o :yippee: So, I'd like to be done editing in time to have a copy here for the kids to open on Christmas. Since I wrote it for them I think that would be really nice. :)
Dd1 is babysitting tonight and dd2 has a slumber party. Dh and I are trying to think of something fun to do with the boys... but we don't know what yet.
Hope all you snow bunnies have a good day! :D

Not a whole lot going on today. :) I'm getting Sarah at 11:00. I'm thinking about baking some Christmas cookies with her... if not cookies then maybe some kind of a cake. She loves to pour in ingredients and... 8o crack eggs. LOL She LOVES it and I love watching her do it. :) I usually end up having to dig out a few shells, but I'm surprised at how well she actually does. She's such a joy to have around. :)
My mom's night out with us tonight. She's feeling much better than she was a week ago. :) She's still a little sore from her fall, still hurts when she laugh's but otherwise is doing great. She was pretty lucky. :) We need to go to Wal Mart and would like to stop at Michael's to see what they have for crafts. I still want to make those lantern's that Angie posted about. I'm "trying" to get in the Christmas mood. :) I plan on listening to nothing but Christmas music today and am determined that by the end of the day today I will be. LOL
Sun is coming out. :) It's suppose to get up into the 30's by tomorrow, which will feel like a heat wave compared to what we've had. LOL I wouldn't doubt if we'll see people wearing shorts. 8o 8o LOL
Anyway... hope you all have a great day today!

ok so I just woke up.....It its majorly snowing....gotto go watch the news.
I feel better....don't know what that allergy thing was....stomack is still grumbling.
Good thing we're probably off today.
Good morning! I'm tired, but I'm trying really hard to be awake. Ds has a friend spending the night and he'll actually be here any minute. He goes to before and after school care so I told his dad it was OK to drop him and his stuff off before school today. Then he'll just walk home with ds after school and spend the night. Dd is sleeping over at a friends house tonight, so I'll be in the house with all boys! LOL
I got my hair cut yesterday. I had it done because the last time I had it done (3 weeks ago) I thought she had maybe cut it uneven (which it took me about a week to notice). I went to a different lady and she laughed at my hair. I guess it was worse than I thought it was. It's all straightened out now and I like it so much better.
I have a few errands to run today and laundry. After watching the news, I'm really not missing the snow too much anymore. :lol: It's be in the 50's during the day and the 30's at night around here and at the moment I'm thinking that's cold enough. We'll have some snow in Germany, but not a lot. I think I can live with that.

well It's definate...we're closed and so is just about everything in Conneticut...LOL...Good suggle day!
Well I spoke with the HR lady yesterday.... she listen and comforted me, as I cried and actually stated my problem to her, I was actually very proud of myself....I never raised my voice, or vulgar language ( I go from 0 to Trucker in 60 seconds usually) I have a bad temper.........She will document everything and write it up and then next week we will sit down with the VP who did this, who by the way is scared, because he has apologized twice, once in an email, after I told him I wasn't in a possition to discuss what happened....and then again he actually cornered me in the Presidents office alone, shut the door and spoke....I really wanted to say something, but I held back....I did tell him that he did cross a line....he is so full of BS, telling me that he had no idea he was rude or hurt my feelings, I am one of his favorite people at the company....hello? I am thinking in my head, no witnesses, and ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I am not interested in apologies, I want him to be made accountable in written documentation that he can NOT speak to people that way, I also expressed my disappointment in the President, She was stunned at his reaction to me on the phone.....I told her that he seemed like he wanted to stay out of it...well he can't its his company...and this wasn't the first time this has happened with me, who knows how many others this has happened too....
Funny thing is the HR woman asked me not to disscuss this with anyone in the office, well it has already gotten around after I left the day it happend...and side has been taken.....such politics,...my boss is laying low because he is probably afraid I am going to quit, and then he would have to find another slave, I mean assistant.....
OK it felt good to stand up for myself....I am not done, not by a long shot and I know it will be uncomfortble sitting in hot seat next week, but I must follow this through to the end.
Good for you for standing up for yourself Renee! And good luck next week too.
Diane, enjoy Sarah!
Vea...it's not snowing here anymore.
Jen, glad you like your new do.

Renee, good for you. I am proud of you for sticking up for yourself so strongly. ((hugs))
It's snowing! It really does look pretty but now I think it's here to stay. Not sure if I'm happy about it or not. I am looking forward to learning how to ski this winter as nervous as I am about going down a hill so fast. Taboganing is not my thing so not sure how skiing could be. LOL
Kids are out of school today. Good thing, they can keep ds3 happy while I clean the house. Need him kept happy downstairs or upstairs playing while I wash floors, put spot remover on the sofa and chair so it can dry and scrub bathrooms. Oh the joys. lol I need everything ready for the shower tomorrow by tonight since both boys have a doc. appt in the am. I can't wait to go shopping with dh and out to dinner with him after that. It seems like forever since we have had any time to ourselves.
Hope you have a good day :)

Braeden and I baked sugar cookies yesterday. I put the camcorder on the counter again this year and recorded everything. He really got into rolling out the cookie dough. He ended up covered in flour and then stamped cookies quickly. We ended up re-rolling the dough many times to get usable cookies.
Enjoy your cookie baking.
It was a bone chilling 7 degrees this morning, but the roads were clear enough to have school. The mountain bus was the only bus that didn't run. Kids have to play inside today. That's always fun.

We got over 8 inches of snow yesterday and we were only on 2 hour delay this morning. That really sucked! I volunteered at the school and at church this morning. Tonight is a free babysitting night at the church from 6-10. Brichard and I are going to dinner with some friends, then to a new mall to do a little shopping.
Have a great day!

Thanks Mel. I think he's on the upswing. I took a 2 hr nap with him and dd, so that was a HUGE bonus. We woke up at 7 8o so hopefully we'll still be able to fall asleep tonight. LOL!
