Happy holidays to you and your family.
Hope you are able to spend time together to enjoy some calm.

Liss,

I had to stop in and tell you Thank-You, I recieved the cards & pkg. in the mail..And my DS thanks you also for the B - coupons. These are a quickie for him. Even tho he is my cook (and a good one at that).

Well I certainly hope that you have been getting a little rest.
I won't keep you here much longer--you are a busy one.

Have a Blessed Christmas Dear One....

Morning to you,

Hope things are going well for you.
I've so busy with things lately, did I send the box tops and campbell lables to you or someone else? I have to start keeping a notebook with who I'm sending items to. That will be on my list for the coming year Lolll .

Got hit with the ice storm --but looks like they are cleaning the roads pretty good. Still have several things to get done.

Have A Blessed Day Lady..
Hope to hear from You soon.

Liss,
I am cold!! We have had our temps in the negatives. To get to 20 above today and if the wind stays out of the picture, I just might thaw out a little! Have about 10 inches of snow on the ground outside but drifts at about three feet in some areas. I don't mind the snow if I don't have to go out in the cold. I need to find a job some place warmer.

Glad to hear that business is good. The way it is going for many it really is a good thing. Send a hey now and then so we know you are still around. I was wondering if you had more experiences of the drop everything and help with the hubby's business. Not fun but got to help.

I am not ready for the holiday at all. Still have to get for the boys and their last day of school is at noon on Friday. Friday is the day I normally go shopping. Will have to try to cram it all in before noon. Would help if I even had a clue what to get for them, but they have kept tight lips about what they want.

Hope you are able to make some time for yourself as well this holiday. Easier said than done, but five minutes can sure be a blessing some days.

Send a hey when you get a chance!
Hugs,
Kim

Good morning Liss,
Glad you recieved the pkg. I didn't know fudge wouldn't turn out correctly if there was humidity in the air (interesting).Yes I did have to take some pictures down, to fit others. Thought that I was doing something wrong. I have serveral more that I'd like to put in album. I'm glad that you can change that setting.......I'm glad that you ejoyed some of the pics. I like all the sharing we do here. The lambie coupon was great, from the bath store. I noticed your blog on how busy you are, hope you have a few days to rest girl friend. Don't run yourself in the ground. But I did the same when I was younger go-go-go, two jobs outside the home at times. Take time to smell those "cinnabunns". Live and alot, Lady. Have a Blessed Day..

Food poisoning-glad you are doing better. Sounds like you have had a string of my fortunate of late . Take it slow getting the house ready if you get the tree and stockings up your boys will be thrilled-do they still believe in Santa? my 12 year old is starting to question but has that fear that if he doesn't believe that he wont get much. Sorry to hear about the house contest. No most people want things for nothing and don't realize that you do have do something to get it (sure you know this from this site, lol). Guess you will have the house for a little longer. Sometimes that makes the budget tighter but like you say there is a reason. We held on to a house in Ohio for three years-no renters just vacant. Noone wanted to pay the price (we were asking half of what it was valued at) but did finally get an offer and made enough to make the down payment on our place we have now. Rough paying two mortgages and all the day to day items on top. Will you sell the conventional way now?
Take care of yourself!!!!

When you told me that you "repped my Itrader" will it show an Icon like yours does when I repped you in return and when your name comes up on the site? Just wondering because it doesn't. Thanks I'm so full of questions Lollll

Liss,
Just curious are you feeling better from the bronchitis? Is it mostly gone? Also still waiting to hear about the house in WI . I know you are busy, take care and try to enjoy some of the holiday season and slow down a little.

Hey there Stranger!

Thanksgiving was nice. Marsplus1 and her family came over and it was "loud" to say the least. She has three girls and with my two girls and one boy it was caiotic. We both cooked alot - well actually way to much food too. Arron (hubby) cooked the Turkey and ham, and it was sooo good!!! It was cold and the guys watched football while Melissa and I talked. Laughed alot when all the kids were at the table. After dinner the kids went outside and played a game of touch football. Too comical with all those girls. We all wrote what we were thankful for and next year we will see what changes. LOL. So your Thanksgiving was nice? The boys have fun?? I long to see the Thanksgiving day parade - but Arron has to have football on as soon as he wakes. LOL. Made a few jars of pancake mix last night and cross stitched some. Working continiously and addicted to your site!! We were suppose to get snow, but we didnt. I wouldnt have minded though. Our company Christmas party is this Saturday so I need to find something nice to wear. I always wear jeans so its staring to look like a nice shirt and jeans I did end up at the doctors Black Friday. Got a pinched nerve in the shoulder (thank goodness it wasnt something more) and they have me on meds. But all in all its going well!! I have probably 1/2 of the Christmas done. Got the walmart gift card last week (meant to write and say thanks!!) Going to give that to one of my kids in their stocking.Thanks so much!!! Christmas is going to be pretty light this year - Arron hasnt been paid in almost 6 months, the business has really been hit hard with this economy, but your site really has helped me alot. What with all the jar mixes and craft ideas. I just need to now find the time to make them Hows it going on your side? I cant wait to see the jars you have made!!! Have you gotten any of your decorations up yet? I dread putting up the tree. The kids have agreed to do that. Taking it down is really a hassle. I have seen those tree that collapse. pretty kewl, but way to expensive LOL. I know your a busy young lady so its all good Meant to ask again, how did the essay for the house go? I would have loved to have done that, but things are too tight thats okay though Well its the end of the month and end of the year here in our accounting office, dread this time, got too much to do and too little time. I still have to take 26 hours in vacation before the end of the year or I will loose it. Ill see. Well I will head back to work, drop me a line later if you have time. It sure is nice to chat with you girl!!! Talk to you soon.
