Some say an inch due here, some say 3 or 4 inches. That will not be the issue. Ice on the roads will be the problem. I have a Drs. Appt. In the early morning that I may have to cancel...but oh well, it was just a check up.

Oh my goodness, forget my piddly few inches, 16 to 18 inches is something to complain about. I am so sorry. I do so hope that the forecast is wrong.
Ordered another Christmas gift tonight.

I have not heard from Tina in awhile. I hope all is well with her. Sunny I hope that you do not get all the snow that is forecast. I wonder if Sheri is sick in bed ? I hope she is able to come in soon.
Sweet Dreams to everyone. Keep warm, and keep safe.

I have been up since 4 a.m. the phone won't stop ringing. A call from DH's boss to go to work with the plow, then the school called to cancel then two co-workers of DH called. Jeepers. It's storming bad out there....I wonder if the farm animals can feed themselves later?

Well, I went to bed( for the 2nd time) at a bit before 3. We really need to get this sleeping thing on tract. Sorry for all the phone calls, Sunny.
It is warming up here and the ice is leaving the roads. I wish it had of done that in time for me to get to my Check up. Now Thanksgiving is ruined. I was given a Dec 3 rd appt.

How is Thanksgiving ruined Junie?
Holy cr@p, it is bad outside. I am so glad that I do not have to go anywhere on days like today. My DD said that nothing in town is closed....she is babysitting for neighbors who had to go to work and of course the school and daycares are cancelled.

Well I was hoping to go in today, get my lab work done and be weighed...before the holidays. Now said tests and weighing will come AFTER Thsnksgiving, so I cannot enjoy the day..I will have to watch every thing I put into my mouth from now until Dec. 3 rd.
Glad that you don't have to go anywhere. We are happy because of that too. Being retired does have some benefits I guess.

Not sick in the bed. I'm feeling better. Got up and out today to an eye doc appointment then to the grocery store.
Don't worry about Thanksgiving Junie. Enjoy the day and watch your diet the day after.

Well bless you about the Thanksgiving meal. In all honesty I bet that is what I do.
Glad you are up and about, Sheri. Good to see you.
I am headed to sleep now. Not really tired, but I need my sleep before the girls come tomorrow.

It is a cold, frosty day today...brrrrr. I ordered online from Walmart Monday night and it landed here last night(less than 48 hr)....I am impressed, I need to keep gift cards here and handy at that rate. I wish we could order groceries online as well but they deleted that option this Summer. So, that being said...my Christmas shopping for GB is completed. GG's is on the way. The madness has begun here as well

You're ahead of everyone Tina. We got about 16 inches with the last storm...so there's about two feet on the ground with the two storms so far.
Just got back from the local grocery store...they are renovating and it is taking forever.

I got 2 more gifts today and Darbi and Colby want cash so there won't be many presents under our tree. Sort of sad. I should buy myself a bunch of stuff, wrap it, and put it under the tree When I was growing up we got new stuff at the beginning of school and at Christmas. If we got anything for our birthday at all, it wasn't a big item. And mostly we got stuff we needed like clothes. One year I got a suitcase and wasn't happy about that.

Tina: the second day now...I am keeping all 4 Grandchildren ( that live close to me) from yesterday (Wednesday ) morning to Monday night. I have come to the conclusion that my DD is a wonder woman ! This is a LOT of work! And they are loud. Otherwise they are good, just 3 that are 3 years old. And their 5 year old brother.But he has school all day.
Sheri, I too got useful things as gifts when I was a child. I remember when I graduated from Grade School... My birthday was a week later. I got $25.00. That money covered both occasions. In their defence, I had to have a new dress, my first pair ofheels, and the school arranged for all of the graduates and their families to go to this nice place to eat...So I guess all of that was supposed to be my gift. But still you and I had similar childhoods.
Wore out but still wide awake.

I bet those grands listen better to their parents than the grand parents Rest when you can, you are going to need it. I ordered the last of GG's gifts today(I had to get another gift card yesterday to order it)...only a toy phone left to get for GB(I can't decide on which one). My mother and DD will get a small gift with gift cards as well. Sheri, I plan to wrap the gift cards in big boxes DH and I will buy a little something for each other depending on the money left. I wish I was all done like Tina. I need to bake today.

Sunny we've got a few repairs we need to get done too. One is as easy as changing light bulbs but for this particular fixture I'm too short even on a ladder. It's an extremely heavy fixture and I can't old it in place and screw it back on by myself. As far as the bathroom fan - is it the bathroom ceiling fan? They're not expensive to replace if it is. And mine come down easily. Aubry and I are going to do some baking together for Christmas. I saw on FB today where a craft store in my town is having a card making day. Aubry and I went and made a few crafts there during the summer. This card thing is $25.00 a piece for 5 cards and I started to sign us up but I got to thinking we can buy enough stuff for $25.00 or less for both of us so we're having a card making day too. Wish you guys lived closer and could bring your grand children over and we'd make a day of it. We'd make a mess too

Bless this tablet..I had a long post, the thing went bonkers and I lost the whole post. Yes Reader's Digest version......
.Tina yes, my DD is on a cruise with her 3 college friends..so I have the kids. Really ok just a busy time. Sheri..what a nice thing to say.....I wish we were all within reasonable driving distance of one another so we could socialize some. It would be wonderful to sit down with you all with a cuppa and visit...and you know, solve the world's problems Goodnight to you all. Sweet Dreams.

It would be so wonderful if we could gather together Sheri...at your house especially if glue and glitter is involved Tina, I do hope that your son visits soon to help with the things you need done. The fan just had a stuck exhaust louver. What a noise it was making because the air couldn't go through....the same sound like when something is stuck in your vacuum. It is fixed and ready to go. Rest up Junie. I am off to do the barn work, DH got called to work due to drifting issues....the wind is awful.

Had a short nap..I feel world's better. Kids are sleeping yet, but they went down for their nap late too. So much to Papaw's displeasure, I am letting them sleep. They get rest, and Grandma gets caught up in some things.
Mac and cheese and green beans for supper here. Papaw is having a salad and left over pizza for supper.
