Today is a slow day...

They sent the kids home from school due to freezing rain and sleet, the roads were going to get worse. Hardly any surveys in my inbox today at all. It isn't often lately that I have to go scouting for surveys to do, usually they just come to my inbox. I have a feeling I will be signing in and checking in to every place I can think of that I am signed up with to check if there are any.
Mom came yesterday and the day before and we finished my curtains (Yay!) They are very nice. A couple months ago I had bought some scarf valances that were on JC Penny outlet for $5.00 each. They were 108 in long, and each one was wide enough to make one panel. So I knew I would be able to make them into curtains for my livingroom. I haven't had curtains in my livingroom the whole time I have lived here (8 years) I've always just had blinds and valances. Since I was able to get the scarves so cheap and I knew mom and I would be able to make curtains out of them, and then I found those nice scalloped pull shades on clearance on JC Penney outlet as well, I now have curtains on my windows. I wanted something because in the winter if you are on the sides of the room with the windows you get the cold air coming off them. With the curtains I can just close them and it cuts the cold. Both kids have a Dr's appt tomorrow, Jayson a follow up on his acne medication (which by the way is working great). He used to have really bad acne and the DR prescribed him 2 creams that Mainecare would approve, one for morning and one for night. After the first 4 weeks his skin is almost completely clear! Wynonna has to go for a flu shot, the Dr recommended where she was on Remicade treatments and her immune system is compromised that she really needed to get it. Jayson has Snowball coming up on Fri, which he will be taking his girlfriend to. Sat hubby and I are going shopping for the evil SILs and spouses. I am going to let him pick the gifts and am not offering any imput. I know he is getting nicer SIL the bottle of Merlot (the gift fits her well) but he usually doesn't do so well picking gifts. So as a kind of payback I am not offering any advice as to what to get or not get. One may get a Chia pet, or a Sham-Wow who knows, but it will be fun to watch.

LMAO, you crack me up.... our first Christmas we did exchange gifts with SIL's I had NO clue what to get them, I did not know them well so I sent hubby. He bought his big sister a jug of oil and his little sister........ an air freshener for her car. ROFLMAO It's funny now but I was mortified because he spent the rest of the Christmas budget on himself while he was out!!!!!

That will be fun Kelly! I hope he does as bad as Tara's husband. It would serve her right.

Today is a slow day here, too. I'm waiting for Scott and the bigger kids to come home. Zoe and Quinn and I have run tons of errands the past few days so I've not done a thing on the house... I really should be cleaning. But I really, really don't feel like it. I really just want a calm few days where nothing much happens except each day the laundry pile gets a bit smaller (I don't even mind doing it myself) and the house gets a bit more organized. Of course I might as well be saying that I want to invade France. The likelihood of either happening is pretty low.

No slow day here, I wish!
I took Kristin this morning to get her car registered( the one we bought for her last week) and inspected. We did this while it is 30 degrees and sleeting/raining. Took all freakin morning at the courthouse, then got back here. I am now sitting her wrapped in a blacket wtih Xander in the snugli wrapped with me. I want summer!!!

This evening should be uneventful as well. I can't wait until everyone is in bed, I have a book that I am reading and can't wait to read the rest. I like to read historical romances and I love the author Hannah Howell, I am always trying to get the new Highland series book, but I haven't for a while and now I am behind. Apparently now she is into vampires in them as well, I didn't know how well I would like it or not, but Hubby ordered me one of them that I wanted to try. It is the one I am halfway through right now and it is really good.. I just hate that I read them so fast..the way I read I can't keep up with books, they would get too expensive to buy so many so fast.. atleast I have the ones I have missed to look forward to getting. The series is good enough that I have re-read the ones I have atleast 3 times each..

Who would ever think that souther TX would get so frickin cold???

sleet and possible snow tonite, won't stick, but will make traffic a mofo....

They cancelled Timmy's classes yesterday because of the weather. I got a text, email and a phone call. That was nice. lol

Not slow today either. Gotta clean some more from the lounging we did yesterday. And gotta get ready to car hunt again tomorrow. We looked the other day and found 5 cars that we are very interested in, but are going to go look at some other places to see if we can find them closer to our range. I have to be at school with Timmy on Friday, so if we find something tomorrow, we will be looking to go on Saturday to buy. *fingers crossed*

I got up at 5, dressed 4 kids for Christmas Pictures and a blue norther, got to the school at 7:45, and helped with santa pics all day. Left at 1. drove 20 miles home in the sleet, waited on my dad, went back to wags and wm AND shopped, went to two differnt houses and got the kids. got home at 6, started supper, ate, and am now sitting down to relax. Cant even blog cause BR refues to drive in this crap and he is now home.. Got home before I could cook HIM supper, so he is eating the spagetti I made for everyone else.. Thats like 3 days worth of calories...

I hate days like that, Chelle. My yesterday was like that which is why I didn't feel like doing a damn thing today.

I dont mind them every once in a while, but shoot, for me this is just the first of many. at least till school lets out.

I will never get everything done. LOL

and y'all should see the sleet. I could hear something hitting the windows and opend the door. the poor dog couldnt even come up the steps..

You guys are killing me with your sleet stories. Here is all ice tonight and in the morning I will have to freeze my arse off and scrap the car perhaps even dig it out. I think I bruised my poor beat up tailbone taking the dog out.
The crappiest part.... they posted the 2 week forecast and it is going to be cold/freezing right up til Christmas eve (calling for 49) so for all our shitty weather we are going to have our third green Christmas in a row It really ticks me off there are only two days a year I want to see snow Dec 24 and Dec 25. It does NOT feel like Christmas without it.
