Until Next Time...

OMG I think I'm going to die.  OK, maybe not die, per se, but at the moment, I wish I was dead.  I woke up yesterday morning with the nerves in my neck pinched....just about in the same place as that picture up there.  I sat most of the day with the heating pad, took several rounds of Advil and Tylenol (wishing for something stronger), had a nice HOT shower with the shower on massage and still woke up this morning in pain.  And since I was hurting so badly, I didn't sleep worth a flip.  My little preschoolers better watch out, I may be mean Mrs. Susan today ;)  In fact, I may have to call in a sub cause sitting in this chair is hurting.  I'm not sure how dealing with 3 year olds will play out today.  I'll let you know...

And let me just say, Thank heavens for that!  Yeah, it's all nice and great and wonderful to spend the day with your family eating and joking around.  It's even better when you don't have to go anywhere to do it cause they come to you.  But let's face it...it's nice when it's all over.  There's a huge amount of stress put on people who host Thanksgiving Dinners.  In our case, with my in-laws coming for dinner, there was even more stress cause my dear Hubs insisted that the house be near to spotless. See, there's my problem.  I'll admit it, I'm not the best housekeeper in the world.  In fact, I pretty much suck at it (that's not to say my house is filthy, it's just cluttered).  My kids know this.  Their husbands/boyfriends know this.  I even think my in-laws know this cause they do drop by on occasion without calling first.  But my Hubs is a neat freak.  So, he had us scrubbing the house.  We had to go buy furniture polish for the tables

4 out of 5 stars Where to start? Poppy and Fletch were in love, got married and 4 years later split up even though they still loved each other. Why? Cause Poppy was an immature idiot who listened to her witch of a mother. Lady Flora insisted women don't like sex and shouldn't have to "service" their husbands. I say Poppy and Jemma (yes, she was in here) need to hire a giggilo that will give Lady Flora the proper experience she needs to realize sex isn't so bad ;0) Eventually Poppy and Fletch (who's name is John...Poppy had NO clue!) got their act together and got to some good lovin' and all was right in their world. Ahhh, Jemma. As you know, I thought Jemma stole the first book in this series. Fortunately, this book featured Poppy and Fletch more than anyone else. Jemma wasn't as scene stealing as she was previously, but still... And Villilers. Almost dying and then proposing to Charlotte. Will she say yes? Or will she say yes to Dautry? Villi

It's barely 6:30 in the morning and the kids don't have school. I don't have to be at work until 10, yet I'm still awake. Not just awake, but dressed, with my shoes on( the Flylady would be so proud). I haven't fixed my hair yet though ;0) So, what am I doing up early like this? I've played on Goodreads for a bit, ate a leftover taco that Lauren brought home last night AND...I'm planning Thanksgiving dinner!!! Here's the menu so far - turkey mashed potatoes and gravy baked spinach vegetable casserole broccoli rice casserole oyster dressing macaroni and cheese green beans rolls and for dessert - buttermilk pie fudge Oreo balls peanutbutter balls Yeah, yeah, that sounds like a lot of food, but it'll be me, Hubs, all 5 girls, 1 son-in-law, 1 soon to be son-in-law, and the grandchild. I think we'll eat most of it LOL If not, I may not have to cook Friday and that would be just fine :)

So, I'm a terrible blogger. I haven't been on my blog for *cough* almost 3 years *cough*. I bet you're wondering where I've been, aren't you. Well, let's see....I finished college, started teaching (I have a preK class), became a grandmother (we like to use the name Mimi cause it doesn't sound so old), watched that pretty girl in those posts below this one graduate, read A LOT of books, contemplated opening my own cupcake business, among a multitude of other things. But here's the deal, I feel like rambling again. And I'm going to let all of you read my rambles once more. Enjoy!
