Good morning,
It is warmer today, but still windy. I posted from my pad yesterday, so if anything was wonky, that is why.
I forgot that today is Noah's birthday.
How could I do that? I felt pretty bummed about it, but talked to Haze and she said not to worry about it, just call him after he gets out of school. She and her ex are going out for supper together with the kids for Noah's birthday. I think it is nice they can get along for the kids' sakes. Our sweet little boy turned 8 today. I spent his first week of life with him and his parents. He is so special to me.
I plan to tell him his card is delayed.
I got a pair of place mats all cut out for mom's Christmas gift. She hinted big time that she needed another pair as the ones I made her about 5 years ago are getting worn.
These are a quilt as you go, so shouldn't take long to sew up. I am making headway on gifts since Kevin will have 3 weeks off starting Thanksgiving week.
I can still work on stuff with him home, but it isn't as easy. I am trying to get things done down to handwork. I can work on that while we watch tv.
Speaking of tv....I have been quite bummed this week. My knee is better and I wanted to get back to my exercise videos. I put Richard Simmons' Sweating to the Oldies in and our DVD player died about 2 minutes into the routine.
So I have been riding my stationary bike for exercise, but it kills my behind.
I hope to pick up another DVD player this weekend. I love to watch all my Christmas DVDs between Thanksgiving and Christmas!
Alice, I think our leaves are about gone too. We have had lots of wind this week to take care of the scragglers.
Cheryl, so sorry for the sad memories of this time of the year for you. Hang in there.
Beth, you are busy as usual. Enjoy your afternoon with Holden. He is at that age where it really is like wrangling them. LOL
Cathy, what a nice surprise to get an unexpected trip and visit from your parents. I hope it all works out for you.
Erica, so sorry you hurt your back. Rest it girl, every chance you get. My FIL always said for a hurt back to do 5 minutes of ice followed by 15 minutes of heat, repeat. It helped me when I hurt my back when Hazel jumped off the stairs into my arms. I could hardly move. Back pain is rough. Get well soon!!!
You all have a great day.
Blessings,
Winona
