Thanksgiving

Same old thing, going to the in-laws. Wanting to make our own Thanksgiving dinner. Michael and I haven't done that for 6 year now. Would truly love to be able to have some of our friends over for Thanksgiving. Will be thinking of my parents. Wish they could come one year and spend Thanksgiving with us. It has been 6 years since they have spent Thanksgiving with us. Just seems like a sad time of year. Guess I should be thankful that my kids and Michael will be there. Who cares about everyone else.

Here is something I did with my name from Blogthings.

What Does Your Name Mean?

Here is another layout. This one is with Allison and Sherre.

Teenagers

Well, Thursday Allison had her belly button pierced and Brandon got a tattoo. I think the belly button piercing is better than the tattoo. I wasn't there for either one, but apparently Allison went all drama queen on the Doc. She said she was going to die from the piercing, asked the Doc to be put to sleep so she wouldn't feel anything. Made both Michael and the Doc laugh. It came out looking really good. Signed for Brandon to get the tattoo, since he doesn't turn 18 for a couple of weeks. It came out pretty good, just a little big for my taste, but then again, he is a big kid.

Found out Allison had Mono. Yeah!!! NOT!!!! She hadn't been feeling well for about 2 weeks and one of her friends found out they had mono so, thought she should be check. Once again drama queen appeared. The same Doc checked her for this. When the nurse came in to prick her finger, she hid in the corner and said it would hurt. She thought this was the best part of seeing the doc when she was little. The nurse puts a band aid on it after wards and left. Allison looks at her finger and can see the blood through the bandage. Now she thinks she is going to bleed to death from a finger prick. She say "I am serious Mom, I am going to die". Yeah right Allison. The Doc comes in and tells her she is positive for mono. She asks if Allison has gotten the flu mist. I say yes and explain how difficult that was. So the Doc asks "How do you do it", Allison then goes into explaining how you do the flu mist. She is a Doc and knows how to do the mist. She is talking to me and how can I put up with Allison. Has us all laughing. When you have a Drama Queen in the house you just know and expect certain things. Drama being the main thing.

Here is a few of my older layouts.

Pain in the Back

I can't believe I messed up my back by bending over to pick up my cell phone, but sure enough, that is what happened. Tried going to work yesterday and only lasted until 4:00. This morning isnt any better, it didn't hurt until I tried to get ready and the pain was worse than yesterday. Couldn't get an appointment with the doc until tomorrow morning at 9:30.

Allison got into a fight at school, got a knot on her head, took her to the doc and she said everything was fine. Just watch out for dizzy spells, vomiting and pupils that were different sizes. I think she was more upset that a supposed friend is the one that fought her.

Saturday's trip to Nashville was a pain in the butt. I got Michael lost more times than I could count. We found out we could have made the trip Sunday morning and saved $300. But oh well, that is life and we live and learn. The hall didn't have handicap parking, so Michael had to walk up hill two city blocks, and then once inside the hall had to walk to the second floor. He is still recovering from that. Glad I went and moved the truck so that he didn't have to walk all the way down to blocks. Allison's team came in second. I think they deserved first. We didn't get home until midnight. Allison ended up with a cold and stayed home Monday. No school Tuesday because of elections.

I need to take some pictures of the trees changing colors. We have lived in this house for 5 years and this is the first time the oak hasn't froze and turned brown. It is beautiful this year, even though it has been really cold.
