    You're such a good mom, Diane.

    We have a Honda dealer we go to where you just pay the sales price - no negotiating.  DH did his research and says they are reasonable.  Maybe there is one like that near you?  I despise car purchase negotiations - it's such BS.  We're on our 3rd Accord.  We like them.

    I wish there were Chris.  I would go there.   Thats how Volvo works, the price on the car is the price you pay...everyone.  I like that.  Unfortunately, I don't want another Volvo.  I will check and see if there a Honda dealer like that around here, otherwise, I could take a road trip!

    Super long day but lots done.  We made double batches of each:  Shepherds Pie, Beef Bourguignon, Spaghetti Sauce, Awesome Meatballs, Chicken Noodle Soup, and Pastina with Chicken and Mozzarella.  And...we made Blueberry/Cranberry Pie (see my FB), as well as Lemon Bars.  Me, DH, DD, DD's BF, DIL, DS and for a short time, one of my friends.  I did a lot of the chopping/prep work last night, cooked the chicken, etc.  DIL and I had a fun day together along with the rest of the family. 

     Yes, Sheila - we cooked, wrapped and froze.

    Very nice of your SIL, Linda!!

    Chris - I always try.

    Boy would I love to have someone do a fill your freezer party for me.  These past weeks have been awful since I feel like all I want to do is go to sleep when I get home.  We even resorted to Tuna Helper last night!

    Still wet and windy here, maybe even snow at the end of the week.  It will be 1/4" and the city will shut down. 

    Her mom "might" come from Denver at some point after the birth for a few days. Her dad will come from Dallas after a few weeks.  They will both stay there with her in my son's office.  There is also a doula to help with everything.  I will be there as requested.  

    I hate malls too, prefer to order online whenever possible.

    I just found out a friend had a brain aneurysm last night.  Hoping she's ok.  Please keep her in your prayers. So sad.

    Thanks Ladies.  I just got word that she made it through a lengthy surgery today.  She has minimal movement, but that could be a good sign.  It will take a lot of time to recover from this.  I feel for them all.  Keep praying please.

    Good morning.  Thanks for the prayers.  Hoping for a better day today.  It's just sad all around.  One year ago today my neighbors daughter committed suicide.  My heart still breaks for them.

    Hope you all are having a good morning.  Sorry to be such a bummer!

    You're not a bummer - there are just too many bad things happening to too many people.  DH went to a wake Monday night for his former boss' college-aged son.   Too many tragedies. 

    (((((((TOL))))))))

    So much to do...don't know where to start...
