Not Everyone's Mama

Or it was.  All of a sudden the only noise I hear is the shower for Jordan. 

Let’s start off with saying I did not go to bed until 2:40 a.m. last night.  I got the last of the grab bag done and wanted to get the preview made and the zips uploaded and in the store last night.  Got that done.  YAY!  I’ll show you that in a bit.

So, I get up at 7 with Jordan.  Alyce starts crying.  I told Pato to take care of her.  Kat starts crying.  Pato tells her to lay back down.  She wouldn’t go to sleep til after midnight last night.  He starts to put Alyce back to sleep when he noticed she had a very unpleasant blow out.  All the way up to her hair.  So, she’s screaming, Kat’s screaming.  He gets Alyce undressed and in the shower.  She screamed the whole shower.  Kat is flipping out cuz she’s not tired.  Yeah, ok. 

He gets done with Alyce, comes out makes her a bottle.  I almost offered to nurse her, but I was hoping she’d go to sleep without it.  I’m weaning her.  We’re down to nursing two times a day.  It may take me a couple of more months to wean her.  LOL  Then all of a sudden, silence.  Except for the sound of running water.  HALLELUJAH!  HALLELUJAH!  you get the point.  LOL  I’m too tired for insanity this morning.

On the plus side, Jordan is happy.  Even though he didn’t go to bed until after 11:30.  I thought he was sleeping.  I sent him to bed at 8:30.  Silence from his room.  I didn’t see the light from his game boy.  (I checked, believe me.)  Pato gets home at 11:30, and Jordan pops out of bed like he’d never been asleep.  So then we had to fight him to go back to bed.  I’m not tired mom!  Whatever son!  Good night!

Pato is off today!  Yippie!  I’m going back to bed when Jordan gets on the bus.  I think I need it.  To function as a mommy today.  LOL

I have to tell you guys some exciting news at PPF.   There has been a lot of talk about people losing out a DSD.  And about how since it is back, it’s not the same.  Not at all, and that’s saying it nicely.  Well, for those looking for a site to learn at, Amanda (www.purplepaperflowers.com) has something called Designer Buds.   And the tutorials are going to be awesome!  Not only has Amanda written tutorials for you to learn from!  We also have the PS guru himself, Al Ward of http://www.actionfx.com, adding his own tutorials, and it is going to be rocking!  So, if you want to learn more, check it out!

And I have some fun news!  My CT has their first challenge up on the CT blog!  I am going to be giving out a GC to the winner.  And I believe there is going to be participation prizes for all!

Now, on to the grab bag that we’ve all been waiting semi-patiently for.  I mean, it’s only taken me over 5 weeks to get it done.  LOL  Ready?  Are you really ready?

There are 5 brand new products.  Can you see them poking out?  And the purse is made from some of the papers that are in the bag.  (Thanks to Kim B for her build a bag.)  The fonts in the ad are my two favorite fonts to use – the top is DJB Heather Script (My own personal font) and the second is DJB Erika.  Both by the fabulous Darcy Baldwin.

And this time!  My awesome CT has got some layouts for you to see.  They are both in the store with the grab bag as some extra images, and they are also on the CT blog.

Hurry and grab the bag before I open it on the 29th!  They they will all go up to full price.  What’s full price you might ask?  $21.95.  You get all that for $2.75!  87% off!

That’s it from me!  Gonna go ride the blog train, then take a nap.  ROFL

Have a wonderful day!

My little sister called me last night and asked if she could drop off something on her way home.  I said, ok.  What is it?  She said, it’s a surprise!  I said, ok.  In the meantime I called my mom and my brother just to chat, and no one told me what the surprise was.  And it must have been killing them.  I’m telling you, they had to have bitten off their tongues.  LOL

She walks in with her husband.  And she’s empty handed.  Ok.  LOL  Mystery deepens.  She says, I have a picture to show you.  She whips out her cell phone and hands it to me.  She must have gotten it ready in the car cuz it was already to the picture.  LOL  I looked, and just about fell down.

It was a picture of —–  A POSITIVE PREGNANCY TEST!  Yep, my little baby sister is pregnant.  I just got a little weepy typing it.  LOL  I started jumping up and down, and hugging her, then hugging Justin.  Then I remembered the conversation we had had earlier, and just started cracking up.

You see, it was a long day with my girls.  LOL  Alyce was cranky.  (How long does it take molars to come all the way through???)  Katiana wouldn’t listen to anything I said.  She made a huge mess in the kitchen.  There were bags (like the kind you by get at the grocery store) all over the floor.  Boxes of food from my pantry, all over my floor.  Her dolls and ponies, all over my floor, you get the point.  It was a mess.  And I was on her all day to get it picked up.  I ended up leaving it until Pato got home so he could see her activities through the day, and might I add, that as soon as daddy said move, it was done.  GRRRRR. 

When I was trying to get supper done, Alyce was following me throughout the process crying.  I tried putting her in her high chair and feeding her.  Nothing.  I tried getting out our little Tigger couch, a pillow, a blankie, and her dollie.  I gave her a bottle, laid her down, she started screaming.  And I had to get supper done, the other 2 were starving.  I couldn’t find my sling.  (Pato washed it and put it somewhere.)  So, she had to be miserable while I was cooking.

I finally called my sister, and said, can I run away?  Please?  She said, rough day?  I said, if you want birth control, come sit at my house for awhile with my girls.  And she said, oh geez, and started cracking up.  I thought she was laughing at my witty comment.  Nope, turned out she was pregnant.  LOL

On another positive note.  I called Jordan’s dad yesterday and said, are you coming to get him today?  And he said, well, it’s up to you.  It’s supposed to snow today.  And I said, don’t you dare do this to him again.  Him, oh no no no!  If you want me to I’ll come get him.  Duh.  So, he came and got Jordan, and he was a different child when he got home.  I’m telling you, the effect that kid’s dad has on him.  He doesn’t even know.  He was happy, he was giggling, he was LISTENING to me.  He cleaned the living room without a complaint.  I was so happy for him.  I told you guys, most of this stuff that Jordan has going on with depression could be cured if his dad would do what he is supposed to do.  He adores his dad.  It’s so easy to keep him happy.  Just pick him up when you’re supposed to.

He did have trouble settling down to sleep last night.  I sent him to bed at 8.  (He was bouncing off the walls)  11:00 he finally was down to sleep.  Can you imagine though, being a kid.  Being totally depressed for a couple of weeks, then having a wonderful day.  Getting to do what you wanted to do finally.  It had to have been like the after effects of Christmas.  Hard to come down from.  I hope he still is happy when he gets up.  I had him take his shower last night, so I’m not going to wake him up until 7:30.  Crossing my fingers that he’s not cranky because he is tired. 

I’ve got to show you guys what I ordered for his birthday.  I finally decided.  He wanted a Portable Playstation or a laptop.  Well, mama thinks he plays too many video games as it is.  And mama thought laptops were too expensive.  And I still think this one is a lot of money for his birthday, but I can’t wait to see his face when I give it to him. 

I read lots of reviews on this, starting with an AP tech news article.  I have heard nothing but positive things.  So, I did it, I bit the bullet and bought him -

It’s the new Asus Eee 2G Surf 7″ Micro Laptop PC.  I kind of want it.  LOL  They have it in pink.  But, I don’t think the screen would be big enough for me to design on when I want to/or need to.  It’s so little.  Look at this in a different color compared to the person’s hand.

Is that not the cutest???

15 seconds to boot – 2 pounds – can you see why I want one?  It says Bumps are no longer a problem.  YAY!  LOL  And from what I read, it really doesn’t matter that it has a 4 GB flash drive, because you use the USB ports, use an external or a USB flash drive, and you have all the space you need.  Which really, how much space does need yet? 

This is the tech stuff:

Intel Mobile CPU Intel UMA graphics

512MB memory

2GB flash hard drive

Memory Card Reader – MMC/SD (SDHC)

Over 40 built-in applications for learn, work and play

Linux based operating system

3 USB 2.0

1 VGA

1 Audio jack out

1 Audio jack in

1 RJ-45

Approximate Unit Dimensions – 8.86 (W) x 6.3 (D) x 0.79~1.26 (H) Approximate Unit Weight – 2lbs

From the reviews I read it comes bundled with Firefox and Open office already installed.  I think that’s cool that it’s coming with things that aren’t Windows based. 

And guess how much it cost?

$299.99

new.

This is the article I read first about it.  Just in case your a techie wanting to look at something new.  Or in the market for a new laptop, like I said, this is more of a on the go laptop, not something I would design on.  There was a correction to the article because it was first written that the screen was 5 inches.  Here’s another review.  I’m just all excited for Feb 23 to get here!

For those that haven’t heard!  Purple Paper Flowers is open!  Woohoo!  I have been amazed as I surfed through the gallery, the store, etc.  There is so much talent in this store!  It’s just awesome!  Amanda and Kathy have done a wonderful job getting it up and running!  And there are challenges in the forum!  Woohoo!  I’m bad.  I’ve already bought the bamboo small tablet from the store.  I want to design when we go to Ohio.  And I can’t imagine designing without my tablet now.  So, I snatched up the small one to take with me.  (And we’re not going this week, it’s next Thursday now – Pato can’t make up his mind and keep it there.  LOL) 

Alrighty, that’s it from me!  I’ve got to get Jordan moving!

I live in the Arctic. Look at what it is right now:

-7 degrees with a windchill that makes it feel like it is -18. It is freaking cold. Our heater cannot keep up. Pato moved it up to 79 last night and it’s 67 in here right now. I know that’s good for some people, but I like it up at 69, 70. Amazing what a couple of degrees difference feels like. I’ve got the girls in tights and velour pants with sweatshirts. Jordan is all bundled up with his big ol’ donkey slippers on.

I am thinking we are not going anywhere today. I’m thinking staying home in the half warmth is much better than going out in this cold. I’m thinking we should clean the house today! Do you here the boos from the audience? They think it’s a great day for playing video games and watching movies. AFTER we get the kitchen floor scrubbed and bedrooms picked up. LOL Horrible mean mom!

Not much else going on here. Getting the rest of my previews done, and getting more and more excited about Purple Paper Flowers opening! I just ordered a bamboo fun small tablet from us for use with my laptop when we are in Ohio. I still need to get Paint Shop Pro loaded on my laptop. I’ve been holding off because it’s not the biggest hard drive and I don’t want to install a lot of programs on it. But, I think I’m going to have to break down and do it, because I don’t see me being able to be at a computer and not be able to design. I’ll just bring along my hand dandy external with all my stuff on it and work when I can. Pato is now talking about waiting a week. Lynn will you be back from Florida yet?I don’t know why he is talking about waiting til the following Thursday, but I’m sure glad I didn’t tell Jordan’s school yet. I know Pato when it comes to making plans. They don’t happen half the time. So, I held off. I told his guidance counselor we might be going, but no official note to the school.

Almost got that grab bag done too! I’ve got 1 and 1/2 products to do. LOL (by 1/2 I mean, I still have 1/2 an element set to finish. ROFL)

Ok, I’m off to crack the whip on these kids, ride the blog train, then do my kitchen. TTYL!
Have a great day!

While I’m sitting here worrying about my son, I wanted to share some positives about him, because

1. I need it
2. He needs it
3. I don’t want anyone to think that all I have is trouble with him

After his appointment yesterday, I spent over an hour on the phone with his guidance counselor at school.  I had called to keep her updated, and she called me back to tell me that she is so glad that I did.  She had a meeting with Jordan the day before, and usually she feels good with the way their meetings end, and that day she just didn’t feel like Jordan was feeling positive about it.  She was going to find him first thing yesterday morning to make sure he was ok and to see if he had any lingering things he wanted to talk to her about.

May I say, Jordan’s guidance counselor is one of the sweetest people in the world.  She understands that there are things going on him with him, and she really tries to help.  Last year she would have meetings with him once a week for them to get together and chat, play games, and work on his anger management skills.  We talked a lot about it yesterday, and we both think it’s a good idea to have them do the same this year, but to work on self esteem issues and see if he can’t start feeling better about himself.  That was one of Jordan’s complaints was that he doesn’t get to spend much time with her this year.  He really adores her.

When we went to get off the phone she said to me, “Heather, you go tell Jordan that I really missed him today.  Tell him that I think he is a very special boy and that he makes my day every time I see him.  Tell him that he is a very important part of my day.  And Heather, he truly is.  When I see his smile coming down the hallway at me, it just warms my heart.”  She makes me cry good tears I tell you.  She told me that she has talked to his teacher and his teacher feels the same way about him.  No one thinks of him as a problem child.  He’s a child that has a few problems that need to be worked out.

She is also going to go out at recess for a few days and observe how the other kids are treating Jordan.  He was telling me some things that were happening on the playground that weren’t cool.  And he had told her the same thing.  She was planning on going out anyway, but her talk with me she said reinforced that.

I hope she does do something about it.  Our doctor yesterday brought up Iowa’s Anti-Bullying law.  And said that if things don’t change for him with help from the school that I need to utilize that. 

I am so glad that other adults can see what I can see in my son though.  Yes, he has some issues to work out, but he really is such a special kid.  He has empathy for others that I don’t see in a lot of people.  And he always has.  He always wants to help someone he sees hurting, whether it be physically or emotionally. 

Along those lines, there isn’t a child on this earth that Jordan doesn’t want to befriend.  He wants to be friends with everyone.  That’s where it hurts me a lot, because he really goes out of his way to be friends with everyone, and there are a lot of times where that is rejected, and he just keeps trying.  Reject me today, I’ll try again tomorrow.  LOL  But, I hate it when I see other kids treating him like crap when he is just wanting to make new friends.

And honestly, I complain about the kids fighting, but I would say 90% of the time, he truly goes out of his way to be a good brother.  Last night, he played with both of the girls for a couple of hours.  How many almost 9 year olds want to spend a lot of time playing with a 3 year old and a 13 month old.  He does, he loves making forts for them to climb through and sit in and read or just play.  Now, the baby drives them both nuts when she starts to dismantle it, but he still includes her in it.  I’ve caught him trying to do things with them that do.  Play with them the way I do.  It’s really neat to sit and watch and listen to him with them.

And those girls adore their brother.  Seriously, they can be all ho hum all day.  You know, mommy is boring to play with, but Jordan – wait til he walks in the door, the excitement starts!  I never had an older brother to look up to.  (I’m the oldest)  It looks like it can be such fun.  LOL 

He has this curiosity to figure out how things work.  Which when he is dismantling something of mine, really irks me, but is wonderful for him.  Down that same path, I think, and I’ve been told by his teachers also, that he really is very smart.  That’s what frustrates them and myself the most, is that we know he can do his work, we’ve all seen it.  And he can do it easily.  (It’s not an issue with the work being to hard.  Jordan can rattle off spelling words without a second thought, do math problems in his head, tell me all of these interesting science facts. He loves reading and reads above his grade level – I was in shock when he brought home a Harry Potter book for the first time, not the little ones, the big huge original ones – and he read it without a problem.  I had him read some to me, and he breezed right through it  I brought home a Hardy Boys book for him from the library, he read it in one night.  Then he gave me an overview when I said, you read that in one night????  That he gets from me, might I add!  LOL  I soak up books.  My mom didn’t believe that I read as fast as I did, and I can still finish a Nora Roberts book in a day.)

Are you thinking what I was thinking?  That maybe the work is too easy for him and he’s bored?  Well, the school said, that though he does do work above his level, it’s not so much above his level that they want to consider putting him in an advance class yet.  We must remember too, that Jordan had a year of PreK instead of Kindergarten at 5, because at that point his social skills weren’t where they should have been for a 5 year old.  So, he is actually a year older than the other kids in his class.  They told me at the beginning of PreK, that with that class, instead of struggling he would be a leader in the class as he got older, and that has been the case.  Since we moved into his district, he has been a reading coach to younger kids, (in kindergarten, he was a reading coach to kids in his own class.)

I could go on and on, his smile lights up his face and is just beautiful, his giggle is infectious and can have everyone in the house giggling after him.  He has a brilliant imagination, an inquisitiveness that makes me smile and makes me proud.  He’s really a great kid.

And that is why I’m so worried about him right now.  With the things he’s showing me lately, I’m worried that some of those qualities are going to get squashed.  That he’s going to lose that love of people, love of learning.   I don’t want his spirit and his joy to be squashed.  He really is just a beautiful child.  And I hope getting him to this lady, getting him to open up, helping him learn coping skills will keep him growing and shining, versus becoming angry and bitter like I’ve seen many other kids do when they are in a situation that he is in.  I know he can overcome this, I know he can. 

Alright, see now, I’ve focused on Jordan, and I feel like I need to focus on each of the girls another day.  LOL  They are beautiful kids in their own ways.  And may I say, all 3 of my children have beautiful smiles and infectious giggles.  )

Ok, I’ve written another novel, but this one has left some happy tears in my eyes, reminded me that I do have a wonderful son, and kind of gave me some hope.  Thank you if you read it. 

Have a beautiful day and go give your kids some love!

Well, the kids had a late start today because of snow. So, I took advantage of a half day and took him into the walk in. His doctor didn’t have regular appointments today because he was in the walk in, so that worked out well.

They did his weight, which concerned me because he has gained 2 more pounds and now weighs 101. This is with me cutting out fast food for us, still keeping his portions small and not allowing seconds. (I’m doing it to myself too. LOL)

His doctor said that physically he looks good. And he agrees with me that their are issues and depression. Blythe, you were right. He said Jordan does have some abandonment issues going on.

He wants to Jordan to see someone. He said hopefully with having someone teach him new coping skills, getting his feelings out etc, that we can get him on track. He said, Heather, he may need medication, we’ll have to see what they say. He knows I hate medicating my kids after the whole ritalin fiasco. Search ritalin on my blog if you want to know about that. It’s ok for those who really need it, but I hated what it did to Jordan. I’m willing to give them something if it is a last resort after other methods have been tried, and if the benefits of the medicine outweigh the risks. But if it’s opposite, I won’t do it.

So, I have called a lady that was recommended to me by our insurance. The lady on the phone actually said that this doctor is AWESOME! LOL So, I left a message, and then we have proceeded to play phone tag. I believe his appointment will be either next Tuesday or Wednesday evening.

So, that’s that.

To my friends in Ohio! We will be going up there next Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday if all works out according to plan. Pato’s sister is going to be up here from Mexico and I would love to meet up with some of you! (I think this Diane and Lynn that I have up there!) I have to get PSP installed on my laptop. That way, I can just take my external with my stuff on it, and design. Pato wants to borrow his friend’s Sprint broadband thing so that I can use it while we are gone. Otherwise, I may just look and see how much one is to add to our plan.

Alright, that’s it from me!

from the post below. I mentioned that I received a call from Jordan’s school in one of my posts because it was related. His teacher called me and told me that she has had a lot of problems with him this week, but that today was the worst. He did nothing all day. Just sat there with his head on his desk and no matter how much she encouraged him, he wouldn’t do anything.

I know where it’s coming from. We’re getting about far enough out in his dad not picking him where he starts to have issues. Both with listening, with being easily agitated, with being overly sensitive, with not being able to sleep, with crying at the drop of a hat. I’ve noticed it here at home.

I put a call in to his doctor, to get him checked out, just to make sure it’s nothing physical, and then we’ll discuss other steps. Which, may or may not include kicking his dad’s butt. Possibly not recommended, but probable it might happen. I’m so tired of this. And I called him to tell him. And things are just beyond his control sometimes. Yes, I completely understand that it takes 2 weeks to get a hose replaced in your car, I mean that would require getting off the bar stool – ok, wait, I’d never encourage drinking and driving, that would require not going to the bar, and actually TAKING your car to the shop. I mean, they fixed it in an hour. Yet you couldn’t get Jordan for 2 weeks.

Then there are the times that he calls and says he’s not getting Jordan because Cassie won’t be there to play with him. (Jordan’s dad is older than me, and Cassie is his granddaughter and Jordan’s niece who is his age.) Jordan doesn’t go there just to see Cassie, he goes there to see his dad. Well, he just moans and groans that he’s bored here. Well, get off your butt, turn off the TV, and spend the 6 hours every 2 weeks that you choose to take with your son, and DO SOMETHING WITH HIM.

Seriously, I rarely hear Jordan say he is bored. I play with them, even if it’s just doing something stupid like taking turns flying all 3 of them like an airplane on my feet. I read to them, I get out the legos or the lincoln logs and build with them, I’ll turn on music fairly loud, and we’ll all dance like crazy. Jordan LOVES to swing dance. And neither of us are very good at it, so it’s freaking hilarious! I mean, it’s not like we are doing some huge old project that requires a rocket scientist reading the instructions. It’s just me spending time with them that they want. Why can’t he figure it out?????

I wish Pato didn’t have to work so many hours. He would love to spend more time with the kids. Last night he just spent the evening in our bedroom with them letting them do their “gymnastics” on our bed. I know, it’s horrible for the springs, and I pretend not to notice. I think watching them was what got Alyce brave enough to flip all the way over for her somersault. LOL

When Jordan got home today, I took him in his room to see what was going on with him. And boy does he have a whole laundry list. From his dad disappointing him, to Pato saying he couldn’t play with his PSP last night, to me saying he was getting a sewing machine for his birthday when he threw a complete and total tantrum over the Bratz sewing machines I got for my nieces’ birthdays for $5.00, to things at school, to recess. I’m telling you, there is nothing that is making him happy right now. There were enough complaints about school, teachers, principal, recess teachers, other students, that I’m ready to seriously consider homeschooling. I’ve thought about it a lot, but I’ve never had enough confidence in myself to be able to teach them the school stuff. I’ve always worried about whether I was smart enough or not. Any suggestions on resources for homeschooling?

Ok, I feel better. I needed to vent. I just hate it so much when one of my own is hurting so badly and I can’t fix it easily.

Thanks for reading!

Aren’t you happy for me?  I double checked the time on the alarm last night, AND set my alarm on my phone.  So, even though I got up on time, Jordan got up and in the shower on time, it’s still 7:48, and he is just now getting dressed.  40 minute shower.  I remember the days of 40 minute showers.  The ones where you could just stand under the water and relax.  I don’t get those anymore.

I have a gymnast on my hands.  Alyce has been putting her head on the ground and stretching up really tall on her tip toes to make an upside down V.  And last night, she started doing somersaults.  Yes, that’s right, my 13 month old can do somersaults.  She cares the pants off of me.  I’m afraid she is going to come down wrong and snap that little neck.  But, she seems to enjoy herself so much.  Giggling all the way around, then looking up to see if anyone is watching her performance.  It is awfully cute!  I don’t think the other 2 could do somersaults til after 2.  Well, Jordan didn’t do them until 3, but I think Kat did them at 2. 

Jamie was talking about Sprint cell phones yesterday, and I had to ask if anyone has this phone and how they like it?  We signed our contracts back in May.  (resigned)  We are going on 3 years with Sprint right now.  With this last contract renewal, we both got the Red Razr.  May I say, nothing but problems with this phone.  Nothing.   Horrible lag time, it freezes all the time, barely in talk time, (this is from the beginning) and now Pato’s phone is starting to really malfunction, he’ll get a white screen and not be able to see anything.  He’ll call me and not be able to hear me.  Etc etc etc.  I thought it was just us, until I searched Amazon and came up with the reviews to this phone.  Seems, the only thing people like about it is the way it looks.

So, Pato went to the Sprint store and was asking about new phones.  I didn’t know we could get one already.  The guy checked the computer, and said that in March he could give us the Palm Centro that I’ve been wanting for $99.

Does anyone have this phone?  Do you like it?  Give me a good review on it before we buy them!  Pato wants a red one, and I, the girly girl, get the pink one.  It’s normally $399.  The guy also said he’d throw in either a car charger or a case for each phone.  I’m wondering how often Pato goes to this store to look at phones?  Nobody ever offers me anything free.  This is going to be our anniversary present to each other. 

On the Razr note, the manager that he was talking to said he won’t even sell those phones to anyone.  He said if people ask him about it, he will steer them to a better phone at the same price or cheaper.  He said they are the worst phones he has seen built in a long time.  From my experience with it, I’d agree!   Did they just get popular because of their size??  I really hope this phone is better.

On to other things, I’m all excited because I got some work done yesterday!  I actually got my kit finished that’s going in the grab bag.  5 weeks it has taken me.  LOL  I just haven’t had time to sit and work like I want to.  Alyce hasn’t been herself for quite awhile, first with the molars coming in (they still aren’t all the way through), her ear infection, and this cold she has now.  Speaking of which, the doctor said yesterday that her ears look great, but that if this congestion doesn’t go away in 4 days he wants to see her again.  Poor baby.  Last night with her somersaults, I would say she is feeling a little better.  She was so tired at bed time that she went right to sleep, and stayed there!  Didn’t get up at midnight for playtime between midnight and 2.  That’s when I usually work is after I put the kids to bed.  Then there was Katiana with ear infection in both ears.  2 sick kids both needing mommy at the same time.  Hopefully we are on the upward swing and they will both start feeling better.  I’d love to get back to our normal schedule! 

I think that is all from me for now!  Have a wonderful day!  And those of you in the snow zones stay safe and warm.  We’re looking at 8 inches hitting the ground by tomorrow night.  Maybe a snow day?  LOL
