I have been a combination of sick and busy and without my laptop…yet again! Not going there. Anyway…I do not know what has happened here and do not want to know….from what i can gather i have something MEANINGFUL I’d like to add and hope everyone will read.
I AM a sensitive, intelligent, open minded Christian woman in her 40’s and i  have NEVER read a post on here that offended me! Not once! Do you know why? 2 Reasons…
1. Freedom of speech/expression!
2. If a post was going somwhere i did not wan to be…I stopped reading it. PERIOD!
LIGHTEN UP!
I AM  never outspoken but in this case ….allow me please!

Yana has created a wonderful WONDERFUL place here to come to and make friends, learn, ask questions, vent and BE YOURSELF! SHARE your expertise, you thoughts, your dreams, your sense of humor. Please, whoever is complaining..STOP! Don’t read what is bothering you…leave it alone if you don’t like it. This place works….No drama is needed to feel good.  Let’s just let it flow! I have learned about things i would never have  asked about but i sure am glad people posted about them! And i know i cannot be the only one.
So please, for all our sakes, especially Yana’s…Just stop with the petty complaints.This is too great a site to lose good people over pettiness!
For what it is worth…
Thank you!
Have a great evening!
Friends ( to everyone)

How are you all? I am good…got my bird stuffed and in the oven. We are eating early…2:30. My oldest son is an EMT and is working at the Philadelphia Eagles game today and has to leave early to go pick up his rig and get to the field. Soo…everything got pushed up a bit early but i like eating early so…that all worked out for the best.
My nephew is now joining us as well for dinner. He is usually here for Sunday dinners so i invited him for today. His mom and dad( my bro and sis in law) are going to eat at 6 so he will have 2 dinners…LOL. So…beautfiul morning. Quiet, i have some last minute straightening and cleaning to do along with my cooking but everything is organized and ready to go . I surprisingly feel no stress about the day at all! Ok..gonna go get all my stuff done early so i can enjoy the rest of the day!
Have a great day ladies!
Blessings,

 I woke up  at 6:30 to a sick house. I felt horrible again, my husband worked all night but came home sick this morning and has to go back to work this evening. My daughter, Kelly, just called off work sick, my youngest son is home from school sick ( remember his friend from Georgia is here to spend the holiday weekend with us) My middle son, Dan, went to school sick becasue he is a football payer and the coach has no time for sick kids. Sickies, sickies, sickies.

 Amongst the angst i felt from everyone being sick and realizing i have to do it ALL today ALONE, i found a total scene of inspiration. While looking out my bedroom window, i saw a peachy white pre sunrise sky, there was a dark pink link seperating that color from a pinkish whitish blue color that faded into the purple sky above. While watching this, i saw an explosion of orange with out any sound as a perfect fireball of a sun creeped up from the ground to light the entire sky up from a  yellowish pinky into a beautiful sky blue color. WOW!

   I know i can get it all done today, the house cleaned, the last minute shopping for those few things i forgot,and the preparation of everything else that can be prepped today. If God can do THAT with the sunrise, i can surely make a meal in the name of Thanksgiving!
Have a great day ladies!

Ok..after a very hot shower, a nice breakfast, a pain killer, and a HOT cup of tea with a cinnamon stick and raspberry honey i am ready to start chopping! Ready, Set, GO!
Thanks for all of your wonderful suggestions! They were very helpful and motivating!

I woke up this morning feeling like someone used me for kick boxing practice. I have no voice, my throat is killing me, i have a headache. Goshhhh all this and a huge meal to prepare that i REALLY looked forward to. Going to push myself, i have no choice. Some breakfast, Ibuprofen and a hot cup of coffee then tea and all my vitamins…That will make me feel better and if i get feeling worse…i’ll just lie down for a while…i have 3 days to get this done! Say a wee prayer please!!! I just hope this isn’t a flu coming on….cause everything really hurts…Geez…the best made plans.
Have a great day everyone!
