I hope it is an easy fix Tina...computers have a mind of their own.
Today is a clean and mop day. GG said she felt good enough to go to school, I am thinking it is because she joined the mini-basketball team. They have practice today.
Have a good one.

Did I close the other one down? Sorry. I don't know how to tell when it's full. Tina are you fixed I got up this morning at 7 to be at the doctor by 9, left the house at 8:15, had a flat tire, missed my appointment. Thankfully I didn't get far and was able to drive the car to the tire place and Johnny was able to pick me up and bring me home because they're booked and working short handed so it may not get fixed today. Plus it was pouring rain. So glad I wasn't on the highway in bumper to bumper traffic. Shelley, Aubry, and I are going to the Southern Christmas Show tomorrow. Aubry hasn't missed any school so she can stay out a day. We went last year and she loves it. Here's a link (hope it's ok). https://southernchristmasshow.com/ It's quite the extravaganza.

Tina, do you have a cell phone in case of an emergency in the meantime? It is calling for 6 inches of snow today....and another storm for Friday. It sure is white out there.

Good morning. Yes I have a cell phone for emergencies. It is a smart phone and I use it as little as possible. Mostly because it's touchy and I am not very skilled with it. But it's something when nothing else is working. And it gives me peace of mind on the roads.

Peace of mind is well worth it Tina.
We lost power for an hour so far...I was surprised to see it restored so quickly.

We had a good time at the Christmas Show. Lots to look at and lots of people to watch We were there when it opened at 10 and left a little after 3. Tina I hope your repair person shows tomorrow. When I was doing nursing triage at home I was supposed to have a dedicated phone line other than with a cable company. My only choice is Frontier Communications. Called many times, a guy came put in a phone, stopped working after 2 days, never could get anyone to keep a repair appointment, cancelled my service, no one ever called to find out why or showed to fix anything. I plugged my work equipment into my cable phone and found out that I wasn't the only one who had done it. Worked fine. There's a Frontier office in the town but it's an "unmanned store" meaning no one is ever there. It's to fool people into thinking there really are people working in the area. The company is actually out of MA and the people answering the phone will make appointments knowing that no one is going to show up. I don't know how they get away with it.

Yes, it is Frontier communications. We were Verizon for years but they sold us a few years ago. And reaching Frontier is hard.

Sheri. Glad that you had good time.
I am not well, all I want to do is lie down and rest. I have a 2 tenths fever, just like the girls...so I guess they " shared"
I am going to sleep early..sweet dreams.

Oh yes, enjoy that sleep. IMO sleeping when it is raining is the best type of sleep.
Kids will be over soon. So I got up.

Hi all.
It must be frustrating Tina..is there any other service provider in your area?
Did you buy anything Sheri?
Rest up Junie, if you can. I just got in from doing the barn work. Now I need to go shovel the back roof....Winter is kicking butt early this year.

Didn't get to play doctor, but if history is any indication, I will be given an invisible pill out of either an invisible bottle or one out of a little empty sprinkle jar that the girls have to give their babies treats when they use the potty like they are supposed to.
Went to the grocery this afternoon. Now I need rest. Girls are napping

GG loves that show...we tape it for her. She is obsessed with the Egyptian documentaries. I have a parent/teacher conference this afternoon for report cards, then I'll pick up a few groceries. I am baking today...cinnamon buns and tea biscuits. It is supposed to be 36* F today...a welcome sight.

At the Southern Christmas Show I bought some mittens for myself, mother and sisters, a vibrating pillow for Johnny's back, a tiny light up ceramic Christmas tree, cheese strudel. I tried to buy Shelley a nativity scene, cuz she loves them, but she wouldn't have it. Good luck with Frontier Tina. PS I'm using Johnny's pillow right now Not sure who I really bought it for.

There is nothing against you joining her PTL is there? Or even a local to you one. My schools invited aunts, uncles, grandparents and family friends. Any willing hands will do sometimes.

Well I think it is just for parents...plus it is a Catholic Church School...and I am Lutheran...I doubt if they would make allowances for me. I do try to support the school when I can though...
Sheri, sounds like you picked out at the craft fsir...congratulations !

I have never hear the term PTL. Is that a parent committee? We don't have any here, they cut it out because parents are not allowed to volunteer and help with children unless they are screened and have a special course. I know it is for the protection of the kids but things sure have changed. You got some nice treats Sheri..even if you pretend it was bought for your husband Have you gotten any word from Frontier yet Tina? It is a slushy snow/rain/freezing rain mix for today...I'll go for GB tomorrow.

PTL...Parent Teacher League ( not 100% sure if the L) they changed the name from PTA ( parent teacher assocuation) because There were dues with it.
Rod & I took classes to be cleared to help at Henry's school. If they have to be repeated every year, I will decide then if I will take them again. YEs, times have sure changed.
Sorry for the bad weather, Sunny.
