Fetch

I think there should be a spot in the Genius Book of World Records for me!!!  Most time spent playing fetch and multi tasking while doing it!!!  I am just THAT good...ask Gunner!!! 
Right now... I am blogging and playing fetch... AND talking on the phone with Courtney's school nurse!  Go figure... not even 7:30 and Courtney is in the nurses office!  WTH?!?  UGH!
Oh... and I am dealing with Nathan's nasty attitude.  He apparently seems to think he is entitled to things... and can treat ppl like crap!  NOT!!!  He may be in for a rude awakening when he gets up Christmas morning to NO presents under the tree.  YES, I AM THAT MEAN!

Anyway...
Britt is home sick today.  Had to run her down to the pediatrician's office last nite.  She is still on the antibiotics from her strep throat last week.  But of course... my kid picks up EVERYTHING there is out there!!
They think it is some sort of secondary viral infection.  So, we have to just keep on the same antibiotics and give it a few days to see if it works out.  Poor kid.  The good thing is... her fever broke during the nite... now it is mainly her throat that is bothering her.

I think I will spend my day cooking today.  I want to finally make the chili I have been talking about making... and the beef/veggie stew. 
I made it to the grocery store last nite... after I picked Courtney up from tutoring.

OH... on the way home from the Dr's office last nite with Britt...  we were in Halifax.  It was snowing like crazy and lightening!!!  I have NEVER seen that happen before!!!

OK... I am getting sick of playing fetch!!!  LOL Time to hide the toys.  Geez... can we say OBSESSED DOG!?!

After much thinking... and talking.  And with going with the my "changes" for this year.  I have come to the conclusion that there are only 2 things I really want for Christmas this year...  Weis/Walmart Gift Cards...  and a new, updated bread maching.  My break maching is ANCIENT... and I am limited to what I can do with it.  Obviously, I make due with what I have... but it would be nice to have a new one.   I have been looking for some time at them... Walmart just doesnt have a good selection... and I cant bring myself to spend the money.
I would much rather have the gift cards... so my gift would actually be not having to stress over grocery money for a change!  LOL!!  That would be an AWESOME gift!!!  And yes, the bread machine is partially selfish... but would also benefit my family! 

I am already feeling less stressed this year... with just the few changes I have made already.  Doing away with the Christmas cards is a huge weight lifted!!  Not going all crazy on gifts was also a HUGE weight lifted!!  I can seriously go into every holiday season like this!!! 

Ok... well... I guess I should really get started on my day.  I have a bunch I want to get accomplished.  I may even make stuffed peppers and freeze them to have for dinner a day next week!

Maybe I can get the boxes of Christmas lights out of our living room today.  I am sick of them blocking our tree!
