hi Cinders!! I thought you were on holidays and enjoying yourself in the sun somewhere .......... or busy digging the old heating unit out and putting it in yourself!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> How was the christmas cheer and family? Got anything on for the New Year? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Life may feel as if you are constantly getting kicked on a daily basis, living is about picking yourself up each day and going on and on and on regardless.

Last Sunday, 12/24/06, I packed up my computer and sent it home w/ a friend who installed some software and hardware, defragged my hard drive, etc. It came home today.
I was childless from Monday afternoon till yesterday afternoon.
Christmas here was small but good.
The heatpump was installed Friday morning. It's beautiful and glorious.
Now, I need the house painted. The driveway sealed, a new garage door, and (possibly) a new roof. Interior painting I can do.

Oh sure, and if we do show an interest - you say you lost the post, and drop the subject. (grin)
I agree with AW - I thought you were on a cruise in the sun.
Oh well, welcome back. At least you weren't sick? That would be good.

I think sometimes about all the pain in the world. I hope we can ease that here, even if only a little bit.

Neak, I confess I am like the Dervish. Even now, I make sure everyone gets something FUN for Christmas among the socks, and underwear. My W got two puzzles this year. She loves to spend the Holiday week on that.
Our kids used to get new Jammies on Christmas even too. It's fun to remember.
Nothing going on here for New Years Eve. I may even get some sleep.
Attended a dinner tonight with old friends. We started a party while in HS, because we didn't want to go to wild parties. We still gather and now we include our wives. It is good to remember.

I think EVERYBODY gets their kids new jammies for Christmas and give 'em to the kids on Christmas Eve. Gotta have the kids looking adorable in nice NEW jammies for those Christmas morning pics, you know! Even if DD's hair did make her look kinda like "Wanda the Witch"...at least until I grabbed hold of her long enough to brush it! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Hey, AW! Everybody in our family is fine! DS's kids are off visiting their mother this week, but should be home on Tuesday. I'm working a lot...lots more than I want to, but somebody's gotta do it. Oh...and we're going to be grandparents again! DS and his wife just announced that the rabbit died! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Since it's been 10 years since the last grandbaby (and the 10yo is THRILLED to bits, BTW), I've gotta get busy and start getting ready for the new little one. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> Gotta get a new crib (I KNEW I shouldn't have gotten rid of the old one!), hunt my crochet needles, and I'm going to try my hand at some heirloon sewing. DiL is Methodist, so they do the christening thing at church, so I'm planning to make a christening dress, among other things. I figure that, since I'm so SLOW, that I'd better get started doing all the tucking, ruffling, and embroidering...and MAYBE I'll have it done by the time the kid needs it. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

I don't want another baby. However, even if I did want one, I don't know that my ovaries would cooperate. And, if they did, you can talk about high risk the whole time.

Cinders, I think you were missed...everybody seems to have just been involved with their families and porcelain thrones lately.
Glad you got your new heater! Just in time for the worst part of our southern winters.
Well, I WANTED a new baby for years...just didn't work out that way. Luckily, my kids took over the job, although I did think they might have waited a year or two or three before getting started. I never figured on being a grandma when I was 40...let alone having 4 grandkids by the time I was 45!
Had to laugh at DS, though. He said, "Mama, I just realized that I'm gonna be raising kids all my life!" He is 35, and his current kids are 15, 13, and 10, so he is basically starting all over again with his new wife. So, given that he will be almost 36 when the new baby is born, he will be avout 54 by the time the kid graduates from high school! He is thrilled to death, though! He loves being a father, and is a very good daddy to his kids.
I do hope, even though raising 5 kids is a heavy financial burden, that they will have another one fairly soon after this one...the reason being that, with the age difference, this child will be almost like an only child as the older kids grow up and leave home. I was almost 9 years behind the rest of my siblings, and I HATED being the only one left at home!
But, that hope is best kept to myself...they will do what they want, as they should.

I had a great time with my 'late' babies. I was 34 when the first one was born and 36 when the last one was born. I was the oldest mom on the playground. I didn't sit on the benches. I played, too. Most of the older moms were bench sitters.

Maybe I didn't mention it, but Val threw up spaghetti in front of the couch when she got sick. Neaksis didn't think it had been chewed at all.
Nother Dervish tale. For whatever unknown reason, he decided to put corn in the icemaker. So now every time we go to get ice, we have to pick out about 1/4 c. of frozen corn. And I am either too cheap or too lazy (or both) to dump all that ice out. There seemed to be a little less the last time.
Corn cocktail, anyone?
Cinders, welcome back! Lady C, I am so happy for you!

Happy New Year to the T&L clan! (Including the Neaks and all derivative Sis'es Bros etc.) T&L, I hope you are working tonight - and bring in the first baby of 2007! If it's a boy, and the new parents are fishing around for a name, I can suggest one. "AD" probably is a bit unusual, but who knows, it might turn out to be the most popular name of 2007. Start a trend! "Ad Sanches", "Ad Morales", "Ad Weisman", "Ad Johnson", ... "Ad Infinitum." <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> -AD

Oh, my.....so just how long does a woman really need to be concerned with birth control? You mean, not only will this IUD live out its normal life but I may need another one to follow it?
