Here it is late Sunday night. I didn't get the family room cleaned up but there's always tomorrow. Need to move the project table downstairs so we can drag out the Xmas stuff. Lots to do....
We had a great weekend. We got to visit with our TX friends in Cape--the Gillilands. They are expecting #5 in Jan and we just had to TEASE them. :) We ate with about 45 of M's family in Jackson. The dinner was at the church bldg b/c there were so many of us. Nice to have all the room and facilities to eat and play for the kids and grownups---tons to eat and good to see everyone. We were DELIGHTED to meet the fiance of our dear Aunt Sally. They are getting married next month. Sally hasn't ever been married, we've never even SEEN her with a guy, so it's pretty crazy that they have found each other. They seem like they have been together forever and we are all THRILLED!!
Of course what would a holiday be without any virus activity. Emily started throwing up before we left the folks'. She only threw up once in the car, then ate lunch, then sick again last night and today. Kat's bad cough is back and she is throwing up---could be from the cough or from Em's bug--yikes!! What's a mom to do?
I think I'll take a road trip---my mom's little brother died on Wednesday. I told my brother that "grief is like a backpack---sometimes heavier than other times. You think you put it down/emptied it and all of a sudden--BAM, it's heavy again," We haven't gotten used to Mom being gone and now Unkie. We are all planning on going to the services in Denver later this week. We meaning my siblings, not my kids....what a deal.
So I'll try to finish up my Arbonne sales for the month, get some Xmas stuff out, tend to the sick kids, just regular stuff.... :)

and Many More!!!
Hello! I didn't realize that I've neglected all of November--my favorite month!! It always goes so FAST, especially since I've been a grown-up, waiting for your birthday gets much easier with time...
I'm home this Sun am with Miss Katherine. She had bronchitis a month ago, which she shared with me--boo! Then she got it again, has only gone to school 3 days in the last 2 weeks, has had 2 rounds of chest xrays, breathing tests, 10 days of Zithromax, 10 days of steroids and now is throwing up. Yikes, when will she feel better? Basketball is waiting for her, plus our regular life. Hope she recovers so we can go see the grands and more this week!
It's been a melancholy football weekend. I got to go see my JC Jays get whooped on Fri nite over in Blue Springs. They played Blue Springs South in the state semifinals. One of my loyal readers, CT, came and took me---such a nice evening to be a game, beautiful new stadium, lots of rowdy Jay fans (I LOVED being a JAY again), but not so good for the old red and black....sure hope the BSS boys win next week, they have some awesome athletes. Yesterday we watched the Ohio St v Michigan game. Very fun to not be emotionally involved except when the MU score kept scrolling by....pitiful Tigers---Iowa St beat them, now that is LOW!!! Congrats to the Buckeye fans!! Good game!!
I had a busy week working my Arbonne business. My bossmama, Deborah was here all week. We got a lot done. We learned to shrinkwrap a beautiful basket and sold some products---all good!! We are trying to get the word out that we can do the shopping for the men out there who have "mall-a-phobia". Great products, ready to put under the tree, all priceranges!! Guess my own blog is totally "game" for a salespitch. :)
Time to peel some taters. Mark and the girls will be home soon. I put a roast on in honor of Miss College Princess, Jess, being home. We love a Sunday roast anyway, so it's all GOOD!! We still have some chocolate birthday cake that H made yesterday in my honor. :) I also have some new bright red silicone cookware, some new Xmas towels, a cozy earwarmer for my daily walks, a Harding Xmas ornament and some Harding coffee--yes, I did well!! Pizza and choc cake and Elf to watch--a nice day!! I always miss Mom on my bday---hers was the 17th--her 80th. Pat and Davy both called, nice...All for now! Will finish the dinner stuff so we can turn on the Chiefs!! Will Trent Green play or not--all of KC has been waiting with baited breath--not really. :) Big game on Thanksgiving vs the BRONCOS--yikes~!!!
