INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

Hello ladies- Yes Jazzyjune I did have to work. Was my first full 5 day work week.  I'm feeling beat.  My body is definitely feeling it, but it's good to be back.  Had a pretty good day with my residents, and made sure I got some extra hugs and a couple of gobble gobble's out of them.  Then I headed to my mom's. I even ventured out and shopped a little.  Home and ready to fall asleep.  I love all the pics of Kirby.

Hope everyone had a wonderful day filled with love.  Thankful for you all

Told my hubby that I am doing nothing today. It's my birthday and I was on my feet pretty much all day yesterday. Tomorrow it catch up time and time to bring down the Christmas stuff and start decorating

have a great birthday mommyof2:

Happy Birthday, Mommy!!!

Happy Birthday, Mommy. Celebrate for several days.

Meadow - I still draw turkeys like that

Sensi - Slow down girl! Work, family visit, shopping......all in one day? Get some rest! (now I'm tired!) Love how you care so much for your residents and that they and their families care about you too.

Mostlymom - I agree.....those stairs need some traeding for the slick wood steps too.

Smaarty - Be careful!

Mags - A nice dinner and loving family that cooks Wishing you many more enjoyable, ouch-free meals (((hugs)))

Loverly - hope your guts calmed down; so stressing when that stuff hits when you're trying to go somewhere.......especially when it's a food involved occasion. Your video of DD1's homecoming is the best - happy doggie, happy mommy!

WildT - You are another one who needs to slow down....gosh, you do sooo much! I hate that your dad is acting so ugly. You are an awesome mom and a very good person. Keep on enjoying the special times with your kids and the people in your life who make you happy. Unfortunately blood doesn't always mean love. Someone who is hurtful to you and your children does not need to be in your life. (been there too) Remember......you are good enough, strong enough and doggone it......people LIKE you!

JunieB - worried for you...... Hoping you just caught a little stomach bug and that you feel better now. Maybe that is what brought those white counts down? I regret to inform you that I did not have even a teeny bit of turkey skin and the traditional Argument was forsaken.

FFFH is bellowing.......hope to bbl

Love to all y'all!

Trying to feel "normal" this afternoon. Took a nice walk with Sofia and DH to burn off some of yesterday's calories.

Sofia was so sweet to all the people fishing off the little pier.

Awww! Sensi - Such a cute pic of you and the baby. I am glad you made it through your first week back at work, and I hope you're able to rest up this weekend. Did Chance get any turkey yesterday?

Breeder posted on FB today saying that the puppies are getting restless and learning how to escape from the puppy area. Finnegan (kirby's brother) figured out how to open the crate door at the vets the other day and all 5 puppies were running around the exam room trying to not be corralled again. They've also discovered how much fun it is to tear up the newspaper in their box. That is a terrier for ya!

Shep - You have such restraint. No turkey skin? No debates? What in the world is up with those people? ;0) That dang FFH! When is he ever gonna learn to be nice?

Lita - Looks like you and Sofia enjoyed a nice walk. I hope your back is feeling better today. What do you put in your lasagna? It has been more than 12 years since the last time I made a lasagna from scratch. It took 4 hours to assemble and I was tired, but it tasted great. Just too much work for just one person. Same with Chile rellenos too.

As I said before, yesterday was a challenge and uncomfortable. Today was better, at least no cramping, but some of the other stuff, plus some queasiness with certain foods . So weird. I did however get to take advantage of some of the Black Friday sales online. I was able to get some of Kirby's supplies and food, plus a new slow cooker to make the bone broth to put on his food. I also just ordered his toothbrush and tooth gel. I can't find a collar I like, so I'll just make one for him since it will only be for his tags and bell. Otherwise he'll wear a harness. Oh my gosh, there is so much to get ready for my furbaby :0) Can't imagine what is involved in preparing for a human baby.

WildT - So glad you had a nice T-day with your kids and family. I'm sure you're exhausted after all the cooking and cleaning.

Hello Meadow!

Loverly - Geez, you poor woman. You really have a time with your G.I. issues. At least you got back home with Mitzy before it struck this time. Also, I forgot to tell you how I enjoyed the video you posted of Mitzy greeting your DD.

I hope everyone has a good rest tonight. I'll BBL.

Thanks gals. Birthday started out not so good but it got better. Hubby and the "kids" got me a hilarious card and an ITunes gift card. The card had a picture of a woman lounging in a chair and her other half asks "What's for dinner?" Her answer is: "Go to Hades burgers with a side order of Kiss My Rump!" Inside it says "It's your birthday, accomodate no one."

I laughed so hard my sides hurt and tears were rolling down my face

thanks Feline

Never too old for Santa! My DS & DD. 😍

great picture

Mommy - Happy belated Birthday!

Smaarty - What a wonderful trip!!. The month is getting busy already, I'd sure like to join you for the meet up if I can, when and where?

Wildt - fantastic pictures, you put me in the Christmas spirit

Loverly - are you feeling better? I hope so.

Sensi - great picture of you and the little guy, glad you are enjoying being back.

Thanks ladies!

Junie and Loverly, I hope those GI issues have cleared up and you have a healthy Sunday.

Junie, fun that you were able to get some deals for your baby boy. I'm so excited for you!

Lita, that lasagna sounds amazing!

Feline, your comment made me smile. My grandmother grew up in Ayr, Scotland, and in fact, my dad was born there. They moved to the US when my dad was 4. I visited family there once, but that was almost 30 years ago. Anyway, it's not common to hear people say "lovely" in the US, but my grandma used to use that word a lot. You made me smile and think of my grandma.

This week I'll be preparing for my surgery on the 5th. Today I'm going to make some bone broth, and I'll be making and freezing meals throughout the week. I also need to shop for bras that I will need to wear after the EX (my PS told me to get a specific kind), and try to get some holiday shopping done too.
