Begging for Ban Thread #11

[Brandi]

I will never say I want it to snow on Christmas ever again.

Hope all monkeys had a great day. I got off work at one, went to bank, Walmart, Big Lots, got to church at 3:15 so I could get a seat, didn't get home until almost six. My nerves can't take driving in this weather. 

Oh poor JSM!

Sorry you had a taxing day. Maybe seeing Josef ready for New Years will brighten your day!



Hahaha!

Those are two of the three I left you in my thread!

I hope they make you laugh.

Merry Christmas, JSM!

I adore that Brandi. Sorry I am so behind today, thanks for making my evening happier just seeing Josef's face. I had a meltdown when I left him this morning. That could be why my head is hurting so bad. I hope your snow is gone, because we have it here now.  Thanks again, Josef will change his clothes tomorrow after Christmas. 

You are very welcome. I had a great time doing them.

Sorry you have snow. Our snow from last weekend is still here, believe it or not. We still have probably 7 inches on the ground. It is expected to rain tonight and tomorrow and that may melt some of it away, but we have a white Christmas, anyway!

I hope your trip is wonderful.

And I hope you don't miss Josef too much. He is in good hands.

Merry Christmas to you!

Darla so glad you had a wonderful time with your family, and can I come and play with your granddaughter's Barbie house? How fun, I so enjoyed playing Barbies, and enjoying it just as much when my girls were little  Have a good night's sleep.   Tevye, I'm so upset that you are upset about what happened this evening, I don't know what to say, but your mom loves you dearly I'm sure  You sound like you have a wonderful family, and you are so lucky to have a big family that all care about each other. I hope everyone has had a nice evening, and hope you all have a great Christmas. Here comes our Christmas Eve. Let's start with my youngest daughter who is all depressed and crying, she of course wouldn't go to eat because she hates her sister's husband. Then we went to pick up my daughter and her husband, and only my daughter came out. I said where is Scott? She whispered to me that he feels my husband is mad at him, that's a whole other story, and I said let me talk to him. Went in their house, and laid a guilt trip on him, and told him I'm the one holding this family together, and he isn't mad at you, please come. He said thank-you, but he wasn't feeling good. We got to the car and he called my daughter and he said I will go for your mom. So we went to Olive Garden and ordered an appetizer and drinks. We got the salad, and asked several times where is the breadsticks? The waitress said they are cooking, but that's odd because everyone else around us had them. After the third time asking she finally came with them. But no supper, the three of us went out for a smoke, and my daughter said we have been in there an hour and a half and still no supper. Finally came, Scott's pizza was dough with cheese and sauce, it was barely cooked, my husband's lasagna, didn't look like lasagna, and the meat balls he asked for, he only got one with no sauce and it looked like we could have played tennis with it. My manicotti noodles where made at least two days ago. When everything was said and done our entire meal was comped and we just had to pay for drinks. More happened, but I won't bother  Took them home, came home and my daughter is still depressed and crying  So in a little while I'm going to bed, and think about the happy Christmas Eves we have had many moons ago.

no rose, this is so sad how everything seemed to go wrong tonight for you!

I hope maybe there will come a time when you can look back on tonight and laugh.

Because, it just seemed everything went wrong!

Hugs to you!!!!

And I hope tomorrow goes LOTS better!

Thank-you JSM, and I hope you and your family have a wonderful and safe trip, and you all have a very Merry Christmas 

Thanks No Rose. You have a Merry Christmas as well and eat puppy chow for me. My mom has fudge, but I would rather have puppy chow.

Thanks Brandi, with the help of egg nog and xanax, I'm adding it to my list of messed up holidays and birthdays with the hope of writing a book titled" You Will Survive Every Messed Up Holiday, Birthday And Celebration With A Laugh, Even When You Feel Like Slapping Them All Silly."

Last night my daughter and I were eating it out of the big container like two pigs in a trough  Fudge sounds good

Oh Brandi. I can't believe you still have the snow. I hope the rain melts it away. Thank you for dolling up Josef for New Years. I really hope to be home with him on New Years Eve. I will change his clothes tomorrow or the next day.

  Do you need a co-author? If so, I can help you write the book.

Puppy Chow sounds so much better than fudge. I like nuts in my fudge and my mom doesn't put nuts in it. Oh well, it will be something I can chomp on during the ride from h*ll. I have a feeling it is going to take us a lot longer to get to Amarillo tomorrow than it usually would.  But what is worse, my family drives crazy and I will have a nervous breakdown tomorrow if the weather is bad.

  Can't wait for tomorrow, I'm sure I'll be able to add more to the book  Everyone have a good night, I'm going to go watch some senseless tv show.

Look at it this way, there will be more good stuff to write in the book  I would love your mom's fudge, I don't like nuts in it either. I pray the weather isn't bad

I really think we would make more money on our book than stupid Dr Phil or Oprah.

  I swear after this vacation, we will have two books.  Thank God my stepdad is sane and is the peacemaker. I adore that man for taking on our crazy family.

NoRose so sorry you had such a chitty day. Olive Garden usually has such great food.

JSM, I hope you have a nice vacation. Be careful and don't mess up the knee. Don't let the family drive you nuts. Mine were on their  best behavior . Usually there is always 1 in the crowd who has their butt on their shoulders for one reason or other.

[joesamas mama]

I am so sad, I have to go to bed. I will check back tomorrow when I get to my mom's house. I have to pack up the laptop so I don't forget any cords, plugs or whatever. I am still not used to it.

So, MERRY CHRISTMAS to all monkeys. God bless you all and please stay warm and safe and I will see you tomorrow.

Darla, thanks I will try and have a good vacation. I have the ski boots, skates and everything else in one suitcase, the clothes are in the other one. I'm glad yours was good today. I usually am the one with a butt on the shoulder.

Good night, JSM! And all monkeys who have left for the night.

I just finished wrapping! LOL

I feel good. I am going to go rest now.

Have a good Christmas everyone.

[Tevye]

Tevye:

A special Merry Christmas to you!

You have been an inspiration to many, and you have learned to focus on the positive.

That's where we find our happiness, often in little spurts when we least expect it. Not when we are looking for it.

I admire you and am so glad I know you here.

You are a super monkey and a great inspiration to all who come in contact with you!

I think of you often.

Thanks, Brandi. When you think of me, I hope you picture Bob!!! Merry Christmas!

[Tevye]

Tevye, HUGS to you. I am so sorry you weren't mentioned in the prayers. Just an FYI you were mentioned in my prayers tonight when I was at Mass. Also, I have the same relationship with my mom. I'm glad you got the solar system for Christmas so you and the grandkids will have a great time.  If I break my neck pond skating, it will be all your fault.  Just an FYI you are special to me! 

Thanks, JSM! You'll have a fun trip, either with the drugs or with your family. Tip for pond skating...knee pads and thick gloves! Enjoy your trip, I can't wait to hear about it. Merry Christmas!
