When my Mom and I were on vacation in 1994, we stopped at a chain hotel in TN (not far from where I live now). It was a double room, non smoking, I had Jimmy with me, he was 4. There was a HUGE burn hole in the carpet, fresh enough to still smell. If you could smell it over the cigarette smoke. The ...
My Jim has always had a probelm with ingrown toenails. All the advice here is great...also check the toe cap on his shoes. Jim's toenails grow slightly upward, therefore, a taller toe on his shoe made them more comfortable adn less pressure pushing down. Give Tony a hug too. Poor little guy. I KNOW ...
When I was small (I think I was 2) my Mom was a newly single parent with NO money. She began making a gingerbread house. We had it for breakfast on Christmas morning. Now my kids love it and today, we made our house for Christmas morning breakfast. Hubby will also cook eggs and bacon AND GRITS! I'll...
I've bought it all and wrapped it all. The last gifts came in the mail today. I love Internet shopping!! I got my Mom, who LOVES family history, 2 geneaology shirts. One is a "family Christmas Tree" that's a typical chart with a star at the top and an ornament on each "branch" an...
It's really no secret but it a want...
I wanna move back where it's WARM. Back to the East side of FLA where my beach awaits. Where Mollie learned to crawl and Jim learned to find crabs on Christmas afternoon. (okay, it was 1999)
Okay, here's the grossest actual story I know... My Mom got up in the night and went potty. As she sat, she leaned her body over to the wall to rest. Something crawled over onto her shoulder. She "flicked" it off her. She finished her business and went back to bed. As she laid down and got...
With me, Hubby, Jim, Mollie and FIL all taking showers/baths daily, we used massive amounts of hot water. I want a tankless system NOW but we will wait until the heater we have dies...then... I WILL HAVE ONE!!! I HATE loosing hot water mid shower...makes me mad!! :evil: Not the way to start a good d...
We get those crickets things too. I HATE THEM!! Mollie came upstairs one night last week and said one was in her bed. So she slept with us until day break. She has also been known to use our upstairs potty at night because one was in their bathroom.
Jim believed until he was 9. Mollie still does and she's 7 and 1/2 but I fear this is her last year. As far as I'm concerned...if you live here, Santa will come. He comes to me (and I hear he's bringing me a Live DVD I wanted!) he's bringing Hubby tactical wear for the academy and he's bringing Jim ...
Okay, I KNOW I've posted a lot lately about the keets but I am so very proud... Mollie was in the church program this morning. Of course, it was the Christmas story. It was the usual, cute, shephards, Mary, Joseph, Kings and Angels. As Leila kissed her baby doll and laid HER in a manger, the Kings l...
It snowed in Jacksonville Florida on Christmas Eve, 1989. I worked at a large drug store chain. In my store, there were 11 women. 9 got pregnant. All of us due in September 1990. Hence, My Jim was born 9-10-90...followed by lots of Walgreens babies!!! That was one heckuva lot of baby gifts! Coincede...
I'm not anti-cat but I love my girls. Penelope is Mollie's cocker spaniel and Savannah Jane is Jim's beagle. They are part of the family and not loving them is not an option. Hubby is more of a cat person. Due to my love for dogs and the dogs loves for eating kitties (and squirrels, moles, groundhog...
