A Thanksgiving To Remember

Though our drive home was hell, our Thanksgiving celebration was all in all wonderful. We had a great time in Nashville and seeing everybody again is always a joy.

We hit the road in the early hours of morning and there was hardly any daylight at all. Miss Sunshine was up but went back to sleep after 30 minutes on the road. I did the driving mostly until we got to Nashville. Hubby had to take over. The DVD player we got for MS work wonders until the last hour of the drive. I’m sure she had enough sitting in the car seat for such a long period of time.

We barely made to dinner but we did. It was a dinner and a show for that night. I never got myself ready that fast. Our Thanksgiving dinner that night and the show itself were phenomenal.

The following day, we went to go see the Grinch on Ice. It was extraordinary. Everything was carved on ice. We had to wear thick, hooded jackets and gloves. To keep the ice sculpture from melting, they had to maintain the temperature inside the building to 9 degrees. It was very cold. It was an awesome experience.

Our last night in Nashville, we went to see The Rockets. Another extraordinary show it was! The girls were so beautiful, elegant and they looked swans dancing in the river. So magical!

It was a great experienced staying at Gaylord Opryland Hotel. It was a big hotel. I love all settings and mostly, it’s a like a big greenhouse itself. I could go crazy picking flowers but I restrained myself. Don’t want to get in trouble, do we? Lol.

I hope you Thanksgiving celebration was wonderful as ours.

Here are some photos:

A Tool You Can Count On

My Hubby’s works schedule is nothing like the rest of us. Often times, he works on a day schedule but usually it’s when the bats and owls are out, a night schedule. When we moved here in Texas and into a bit bigger house, I told him I would like to have an alarm installed since it would make me feel safer when he is not around. And so we did.

It is such a great tool to have. There are so many benefits on having one installed in your house or your business. One of which is the 24 hour emergency response system. May it be fire or burglary or medical emergency, there is no better tool to have than an alarm system that is there for you 24/7. On panic times, one push of a button and the response team will assist you immediately. It’s like a friend who will always be there when you it most especially when you live by yourself.

The best part on having an alarm system is when we go on a vacation or just grocery shopping. I know my house is safe from anything and gives me a peace of mind because I know when things go wrong, I can count on my alarm system.

Gift Confusion

It’s amazing we are at the last month of the year. The Christmas is fast approaching. I see lights everywhere now in our neighborhood. The smell of air and cooler temperature definitely proves it.

I went to Wal-Mart for a break to get myself a new bottle of conditioner and to just look around for stuff. Right when you get in the door, you are greeted with tons of items or I guess gift ideas for the holidays. For instances, you know someone who needs to lose weight after the holiday dinners? Why not give them an alli diet pill? How about acne treatment? By the way, I could definitely use one. My forehead is just covered. And last but not least, how about giving someone baking dishes?

I asked myself, how can I get lost in the confusion when you can just go in the store and they have all these ideas for you? The truth is, after all these ideas, I still don’t know what to get for Christmas. I might just have to stick with gift cards and let them buy whatever they like.

Home At Last

We finally made it home safely today. Our initial plan was to drive home yesterday but it didn’t go as planned.

We got up around nine yesterday and checked ourselves out of the hotel. Everybody decided to stop by Cracker Barrel for breakfast before hitting the road. It was a long wait.

I woke up with a headache already but I kind of ignore it thinking it was going to go away after breakfast. Wrong. Ten minutes on the road, I started feeling nauseated. Another five minutes and everything I ate that morning just went… you know what happened. The worst part was, Hubby got sick as well just by listening to my gagging. This was going on while the car was moving at 60 miles per hour. The scene in the car was like a scene of that movie “The Exorcist”. It was a disaster.

We had to pull over. We had to find a gas station. Hubby was covered in his own dot dot dot. I just don’t want to gross you out.

After five minutes of looking for a gas station, we ended up some place where it was considered the scariest place in town. While Hubby was cleaning himself up, a guy came to him trying to sell a stolen car radio. I, on the other hand, was scared on this lady telling me she really liked my jacket. I seriously thought she was going to jump on me and take my jacket away. What an experience!

So we got on the road. Four hours of driving, I got sick again. Oh what a miserable day! We finally decided to call it a night and checked ourselves in a hotel.

At 4:15 pm today, we were home. I’m never felt so relieve. There’s no place like home, is there?

10 Hours Drive Ahead Of Me

Yes, you heard it right.

We are heading to Nashville tomorrow for a family reunion this Thanksgiving. Hubby is working tonight. He requested this week for a vacation earlier this year but the bastards at his work didn’t approve it. Ugh! I can’t get over it to this day. Just makes me so mad.

So anyway, I’m going to do most of the driving tomorrow. Ten hours. I hope Miss Sunshine will stay behave tomorrow. We got her a portable DVD player to keep her occupied and basically, happy.

Everything is packed. I’m still doing one more laundry. After that, off to bed. We are planning on leaving as soon as Hubby gets home tomorrow from work.

I’m so going to get a large white chocolate mocha tomorrow. I promise I’ll get me decaf. Big grin.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE.

I’m thankful to be your friends in this big world on the internet!

The "Middle Wife" by an Anonymous 2nd grade teacher

I've been teaching now for about fifteen years. I have two kids
myself, but the best birth story I know is the one I saw in my own
second grade classroom a few years back.

When I was a kid, I loved show-and-tell. So I always have a few
sessions with my students. It helps them get over shyness and usually,
show-and-tell is pretty tame. Kids bring in pet turtles, model
airplanes, pictures of fish they catch, stuff like that. And I never,
ever place any boundaries or limitations on them. If they want to lug
it in to school and talk about it, they're welcome.

Well, one day this little girl, Erica, a very bright, very outgoing
kid, takes her turn and waddles up to the front of the class with a
pillow stuffed under her sweater.

She holds up a snapshot of an i nfant. "This is Luke, my baby brother,
and I'm going to tell you about his birthday."

"First, Mom and Dad made him as a symbol of their love, and then Dad
put a seed in my Mom's stomach, and Luke grew in there. He ate for
nine months through an umbrella cord."

She's standing there with her hands on the pillow, and I'm trying not
to laugh and wishing I had my camcorder with me. The kids are watching
her in amazement.

"Then, about two Saturdays ago, my Mom starts saying and going, 'Oh,
Oh, Oh, Oh!' Erica puts a hand behind her back and groans. "She walked
around the house for, like an hour, 'Oh, oh, oh!' (Now this kid is
doing a hysterical duck walk and groaning.)

"My Dad called the middle wife. She delivers babies, but she doesn't
have a sign on the car like the Domino's man. They got my Mom to lie
down in bed like this." (Then Erica lies down with HER back against
the wall.)

"And then, pop! My Mom had this bag of water she kept in there in case
he got thirsty, and it just blew up and spilled all over the bed, like
psshhheew!" (This kid has her legs spread with her little hands miming
water flowing away. It was too much!)

"Then the middle wife starts saying 'push, push,' and 'breathe,
breathe. They started counting, but never even got past ten. Then, all
of a sudden, out comes my brother. He was covered in yucky stuff that
they all said it was from Mom's play-center, so there must be a lot of
toys inside there."

Then Erica stood up, took a big theatrical bow and returned to her
seat. I'm sure I applauded the loudest. Ever since then, when it's
show-and-tell day, I bring my camcorder, just in case another "Middle Wife" comes along.
