MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM MY FAMILY TO YOURS

BTgirl...I came thisclose to buying a sock monkey kit for my daughter but she is only 6 and the package said 8+ ... but you can bet she's gonna get one down the road, she loves to make and color things...

I love the ones on your tree !!!

Merry Christmas to you !

thanks, I couldn't locate it but I followed a link from Greta's website to it on Refugees.  Does anyone here remember this being on Lee's myspace account?  It is a very odd thing to put out on myspace.  Guess I just don't understand how such private thoughts/feelings can be put out for the world to read and see.  I know I'm not a spring chicken anymore but I have a hard time understanding this openness on the world-wide web for all to see.

I just got done playing Santa for my two kids, daughter 1 and son 12. I put a toy box together, laid out all the gifts, ate the Santa snacks, and laid out the proof that Santa is real (a white glove, a dropped Santa drivers license at the door, etc), filled the stockings.. woooo, now I'm tired!
As much as I hate, yes, HATE the Anthonys, I really can't help but feel for them today. They have done nothing to help with the Caylee/Casey investigation, have mislead everyone, and out and out lied, but I still have sympathy for them on this night. Tomorrow would have been Caylee's first REAL Christmas. A Christmas she could have enjoyed by unwrapping her own gifts and have gotten all excited because she would have understood the whole "Santa" thing. It's a day that she will never see again.. and also it's something the Anthonys will never be able to share with her. Regardless of the way they have acted, I do believe that they loved Caylee and tonight and tomorrow have to be very hard for them. I can't imagine.
I also agree that Casey does not deserve the gifts from the jail of a pocket calendar, socks, cookies, and a candy cane. Caylee will never have another cookie or candy cane and neither should Casey. Just another right she forfeited when she killed her beautiful daughter.

Like she said, I'm still here FWIW.    I'm having a very difficult pregnancy and I'm only in wk 15.  I have Hyperemesis Gravidarum and it stinks, makes it difficult to find the joy in anything really.  I sent my husband and son to my inlaws 2 hr's away so they could enjoy it since we didn't do a thing here at the house so I'll be alone through tomorrow evening when they get back.  I feel bad that I didn't even get Santa pics for my 19mo but I just couldn't manage it.  I've sworn to do it huge next year to make up for it though.  Think Griswolds.

I hope everyone else has a really good time though!

Man - I do not envy you! I had that with my third and spent a good amount of time in the hospital - lost like 20 lbs.
My thought are with you! Have they taught you the rub between your thumb and pointer finger?

I've tried everything, this will be my third pregnancy with it.  Lost my first to it years back.  The second pregnancy we were able to manage the HG but I lost 40lbs. by the end.  With this one, it seems so much worse than the others.  I've lost 26 lbs., 6 in the last week alone.  I hadn't eaten since Friday but the doctor called in Zofran yesterday and I got some food in me today.  If it's out there I've tried it - accupuncture, accupressure, massage, energy work, meditation, ginger, teas, phenegeran, benadryl, cinnamon, peppermint, mint.  Nothing works.  I'm trying to avoid the Zofran pump,the site has to be moved every week.  The other option is a PICC line which isn't any more attractive.  I ate today, so far I'm up to 250 calories.  A few more popsicles and jello cups and I should make 500!  LOL 

While I'm sorry you had it, it's comforting someone really understands what I'm feeling.  I get really tired of the glib "Oh, I was sick to..."  yeah, but not this kind of sick....  And it only gets worse the further along I get.  I'm trying to stay out of the hospital and my perinatologist is montoring it carefully.  Checking for severe dehydration and ketones and such.  I keep telling myself I only have 25 more weeks to go - I can do this!  Ugh.

Thnx for the kind words, they mean alot.

Ah you are a good monkey sparky. I do struggle with this time of year and have ever since I was a little kid and it is worse this year since I lost my grandmother. I went to Mass tonight, tried not to cry. It didn't work, but I am much better now that I am home. Hugs to you for you working through your addictions.

Big hugs to you joes. 

Thanks Mon, you have more to deal with than me right now. I saw a baby at church tonight that reminded me of your avatar.

How neat!  My av is my son, who I've heard is having a fabulous time at my in-laws.  His uncle brought in a toy that was unwrapped and so he got one early.  Now he is tormenting the family with the loud LeapFrog Alphabet Caterpillar.  I can hear him squealing in the background, it's so cool.

We all have our challenges but we work through them right?  It's a temporary thing and I tell myself, this too shall pass.  A wise friend once told me - Everything is ok in the end, and if it's not ok, it's not the end.

Here for you if you need a cyber hug!  I have tons!!!!

Night Monkeys, Merry Christmas Eve, Happy Holidays. I am tired today.

I hope Brandi doesn't mind, but I changed my avatar tonight. I took this picture of Joe when he was really mad about his new hat tonight. Love to all monkeys. I'm going to watch the rest of Auntie Mame. A sorta Christmas favorite of mine. Love to all monkeys.

Good night joesamas mama

Muffy, that's a nice picture! Wow to have that house!

I've removed the picture.  I need to try to resize it...   There are no presents under the tree, because my sons  and (dh) are always trying to shake them and etc., so I don't put them out until Christmas morning.  Sons are 24 & 18, and you'd think they would listen to their mama, but no-o-o-o.   

Beautiful tree, Muffy! 

As to shaking presents, I also used to untape presents and slide them out.  If I got what I wanted I would stop being good.  Hee hee!  Finally my mom got wise and would hide them so well she would forget occasionally where she put my presents. 

One year she found one of my presents six months later in the flour cannister.

I guess she didn't bake that often!

Merry Christmas!

I just got done playing Santa for my two kids, daughter 1 and son 12. I put a toy box together, laid out all the gifts, ate the Santa snacks, and laid out the proof that Santa is real (a white glove, a dropped Santa drivers license at the door, etc), filled the stockings.. woooo, now I'm tired!

Merry Christmas my fellow Vermonter !!! 

If the Anthony's had just dealt with this whole nightmare like decent people...they would have had a whole world of support to help them through the holiday..I can't imagine what it must be like inside that house tonight...


I like the Santa drivers license drop...I've never heard of that..we do a carrot (which the bunny is now enjoying..and cookies w/milk

Awwww...you're a good dad. Whenever you get her that kit, she's gonna love it! 

sorry, had to laugh when i read that. when my daddy took me to the hospital to see my new sister. (i was 5) i wanted "a new outfit to see her in" anyway, when, me & my daddy showed up at the hospital to see my "new sister" I had on women's clothe's & a brand new pair of shoes-women's size 8. my mom was MAD. (EMBARRASSED) she yelled at my daddy & said what were you thinking, He said, SHE SAID THEY FIT PERFECT!!!! the pictures are so funny. really funny, since i am 5' 90lbs & wear a size 6 shoe. THANK GOD for my daddy. wendi

P.S. this was way back when you could look at all the babies, & i asked my daddy which one she was-he said-the prettiest-i picked the most awful looking baby & he said "yeah, that's her!!!!!" i have the best daddy! (not bio) but he is-we are too much alike
