it's begining to look a lot like Christmas

This has been a couple of crazy weeks for the Wilsons.
Anora went home with my parents on Thanksgiving and came home on Sat am. Leaving me free as a bird or a jolly old elf on black friday. I shopped from 11-7! A full day's work. I felt like it when I was done too. But I found somethings I had given up on, and I even took some time for myself browsing the fabric store. Then Jeremy and I went out for a nice Tai dinner, and then shop for the shortest members of the family, Anora and the cat. It was fun. Parking was never too bad, and even shopping wasn't bad. I skipped all the early morning crazienss.
Then Mom and Dad brought Anora home, and we went out to breakfast. Then home, to decorate for Christmas. Jeremy even took time to install an outside outlet! We've wanted one for a long time, but he had the time and money, and motivation Saturday to do it. Then Sat night we sat down to a Thanksgiving meal for the 3 of us. Turkey, sweet potatos, stuffing, cranberries, and cream corn. Yum, so far we've had turkey soup, creamed turkey, and turkey salad for left overs, and froze some for later!
Then Monday I was happy to shovel everyone off to school and work!
Today I helped at a memorial for a friend of mine's mom. She passed away last week. It was a beautiful service. Death still makes me nervou, and all I know to do is clean and organize.
Anora will be home any moment... God bless

boring?

Well, I don't even know why I'm posting. I have cleaning and sewing to be done, but I just want to update on health.
Anora is going to the Dr. this afternoon. She still has a cough haning on, it's been 2 weeks now. I'm praying it' nothing serious, just haning on a while.
I'm feeling better phsyically. I was sick this past Tues, Wed and recovered Thur. You don't want details on that! I still a little down brown. Just blah. I'm having a hard time getting excited about much of anything.
The highlight of the weekend was a mini movie marathon. We watched Pirates of the Carribean 1 and 2. #3 is still waiting for us. Those are almost too long to watch after bedtime.
We'll I'm off to mend a stuffed poney.
God Bless

here's what's new

I shouldn't tease you with a title like that. Very little is new.
Pat (Jeremy's Mom) and Willie (step dad) just left after a fantastic visit.
They arrived Thur night, and left Monday morning. We didn't do anything too special. Just hung around here mostly. They went to church with us, and then shopping yesterday. It was relaxing, and a parental recharge for me. Anora and her got along real well. I feel like I'm doing something right.

Saturday, we went to a wedding of a cousin. Anora was the flower girl. I'll have to post some pictures.

Several people have asked how Anora is feeling. Well let me tell you, she's changing quick. Last Sunday the 2nd, she had cold symptoms, but then ran a fever of 102. Yikes. So she stayed home and then missed School on Monday to recover. But then on Tuesday she went back. But she wasn't there long. She and her friend bonked heads and she cried and worked up another fever. That didn't last long, when she got home her temp was back down on it's own. But I couldn't exactly take her back to school. So the answer is, she is fine, just has a cough haning on still.
Hope you can spend good time with family too.

tidy up a little

I don't have any major news, or anything fantastic to report. But I'll report none the less.
Saturday, we raked a few leaves, then went Christmas shopping. We got a lot of people taken care of. And we made arrangements for Anora to visit Grandma & Grandpa after thanksgiving, to finish the shopping. That Friday will be freakishly quiet. I'll have to find something to do.

Anora has been fighting a cough and sniffles since Wed, and finally Sunday it caught up with her. She couldn't find the will to get ready for church. And low and behold she had a temp of 102. So she and I stayed home from church yesterday. She slept a lot. Today she seems fine, but is home anyway. She's catching up on her cartoons. I'm hoping to get her some fresh air and call this illness done.

In a few days we're expecting Jeremy's mom. I can't wait. She is so understanding. And Anora gets a long well with her. I think it'll be fun.

Please pray for a friend and mentor.
God Bless you!
