Hey ladies how ya doing? Every one is well here but I am sorta taking a break from blogger for a little while. Jerry is on vacation until Jan. 2nd so I probably won't be on here a whole lot until after then. I hope every one has a very Merry Christmas and a most Happy New Year.

kids still sick

Well I tried to send the kids to school today. Michael got Matt halfway there and had to pull over so he could throw up, then coming home he had to pull over twice more. Matt hadn't been throwing up so that is new. He slept most of the day, got up for a few hours, seemed to be feeling better, ate, played on his computer but has gone back to bed now. Lacy got to school and was there for about an hour and the school called, she had a fever so we went and got her and she also slept most of the day. They both seemed fine when they left the house this morning but we will try again tomorrow. Didn't get much of anything done today because I was tired and Jerry didn't feel real good so we just napped off and on also. Had soup for dinner tonight.

Well here is a picture of our tree, don't know why it looks like it doesn't have any lights on one whole side cause the lights are all over the tree. It is tall, tomorrow I am going to take one and get Jerry to stand next to it so you can see how tall it is. The stockings are hung, the lower one is for Christy, she won't be over here Christmas morning anyway and we didn't have enough hooks to hang another stocking. I got the cats some tiny little stocking that I will figure out where to put and we will put little cat snacks in them. Usually we get them a lot of new toys but they don't play with the toys as much anymore and still have a basket full so this year they are getting a new scratching post and probably a climbing tree. They had a climbing tree at the old house and loved it but it was really getting worn out when we moved so we threw it away.

Gee I can't believe how fast the days are going, I still have a few gifts I need to get out and buy so I better get busy tomorrow which means I need to head on to bed.

I am wishing for the Christmas snow so thought I would post this cartoon of what would be fun to do if it did snow. Matt is sick now also, Lacy is on the mend enough to go to school tomorrow and Matt went to the doctor today and got medicine so I figure he will go back tomorrow also unless he is running a fever. They are both still coughing and congested but in high school since we are on the block system and the classes are about 2 hours long when you miss one day it is like missing 2 classes of each subject.

We finally finished the tree and have almost finished the outside lights and since Jerry is on vacation he will finish them tomorrow. I have to get all the empty ornament and light boxes put away and then will take some pictures. We like the tree we got but it is so big it took forever to decorate it so have decided that at the end of Christmas this year we are going to look for a 9 1/2 foot artifical tree for next year. That will be plenty big enough. It is really cold up here tonight, 24 degrees. Now it is beginning to feel a lot like Christmas. Well good night everyone.

I Gotta Cold For Christmas

This is a great Christmas song, I can't figure out how to put it on my blog but wanted you all to hear it just the same.

Got to take Lacy to the doctor today, she has a sore throat and a fever of 101.3. Sure hope it isn't strept throat because around here what comes around goes around......the whole family usually.
