Oh yeah......if my kids get sick we will stay home as we always have in the past during sickness. I have prepared a bit in case we get sick. I have canned chicken noodle soup and medicines if needed. I hope to be caught up with laundry, shopping, and paying bills by this weekend. I plan on staying ahead for the rest of the winter.

Ya know, this same topic has crossed my mind. My younger son and I are home a lot since we homeschool. My older son is a senior at our county high school so he has to go and be with all those kids. (There has been some seriously sick -with- flu- kids in our county.) My husband is a county deputy full time and is security at the county hospital part time. He's exposed big time. I know that we've have discussed this at length at my house. We wash our hands frequently and don't go out any more than necessary. I have even thought about germs while pushing the shopping cart at the grocery store the other day. You know how everybody has to touch the handle on the cart? Anyway, I also think that we need to have some kind of immune build up too. I personally don't think it's very healthy to kill all the germs around you because you need to build up your immune system. I'm not making any sense am I? Lisa

We also had a lovely Thanksgiving! I cooked for 2 days to prepare. We had no guests but it was really nice. The table was decorated very prettily. The food was in mounds! All 4 of us were happy, healthy, and feeling blessed. I actually have leftovers!!Yay!!! (With 2 boys ages 16 and 12 in the house this doesn't happen often. hehehehehe) I hope everyone had a blessed day, too!!!! mommafitz

will find it hard to sleep tonight.....

Kewl!!! What do they look like?

I can't remember. I have them all confused on who's is who's. mommafitz

What a tease!!! I wish I could have been a shopper and seen everyone's creations!!!!! Glad all went well............ mommafitz

lowie, I realize I'm really showing my down home, Tennessee hillbilly ignorance here but...........would my local grocery carry a Malabar gourd? (insert hillbilly accent/dialect here) I ain't never heerd o' sech as that!

I'm thankful today for my family, knowing God, being blessed with great friends, having a parttime job I enjoy, and last but not least, I'm thankful for...........YOU GUYS COMING TO POST AND SHARE ON MRS S!!!!!!!!!

I don't think that'd be accurate for my household. My dern boys use a roll a day!!! mommafitz

I got mine yesterday and it is WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!Smells stupendous!!!!!!!!! mommafitz

Glad to see you back motherearth. I hope you are getting better. You know, I never seem to feel like I'm completely prepared. I do worry about my dogs and cats all the time. My kids tease me that I'm going to be one of those little ladies that has a house full of cats when she gets older. Actually, we only have 2 cats. Then again we are down to 6 dogs. We no longer have the goats (I sure miss 'em), rabbit, other beagles, hamster, nor the turtle. My husband suggested at one time we open a petting zoo! Lisa

lowie, I hope you have a blast tomorrow and sell lots of goodies!! This sounds so fun! Lisa

Hi Ladies!! Woohoo!!! Visitiors!!!! I can honestly say that I started searching google today to find another board along the lines of this one. I don't have a clue where to start!!! I have to work tomorrow so I will wish everyone a good Saturday tonight!!! Lisa

Am I the only one here? I check here regularly throughout the day for new posts and it's like an ol' western ghost town. I hear echoes. What happened to the usual banter? who has finished their holiday crafts/gifts? talk of burnt biscuits? where's the discussion on goats? harvesting the last of the fall garden? yelling at the obnoxious dishwasher? reading a trashy novel to expand one's mind? jokes to get us thru the day? (These are just things that popped up in my littl brain. They are ficticious. Any resemblence to real life is merely coincidence. ) I do hope everyone is having a good Friday. I'm going to the library this morning. A friend of mine is giving me a turkey for Thanksgiving so I'm gonna pick that up too. A few errands to do then back home so my hubby can take a nap. This is his weekend to work and he'll need to be rested. Night shift can be tuff. I'm making my mom some holiday pillows for Christmas. I making my mother-in-law an angel doll. Those 2 ladies don't need anything. I think they'll really like their gifts. I plan on finishing them tonight while watching tv. Tuesday is my sons birthday and I've located an ice cream cake that I'm making for him. I've never made one before but I sure like to eat 'em!!! How's everybody else? Reci, I still miss you. I hope you are feeling better. Lisa

Lowie, isn't it great to "do your own thing"?

Sounds interesting!

My day will continue from yesterday. I am trying to get my house in order for the holidays and I'm definitely not finished yet. Little things keep getting in the way.....cooking meals, walking the dog, etc! Oh yeah, I do have to bake a cake today for tomorrow's homeschoolers Pilgrim's Feast at the church. (I worked on addressing my Christmas cards last night while my son and I did homeschooling.....kewl, huh?) Today's weather is calling for some severe storms later today.......... Have a lovely day, Lisa

Mary, I understand about the bookwork. I used to keep books for my father's construction company and some days were doozies! I plan on doing my paperwork and Christmas crafts while my son is doing his schoolwork in the evenings. Believe it or not,I have been busy this morning. I like to take a break and check the internet news and emails every now and then! Back to it! Lisa

It's a dreary nasty rainy day here in Tennessee. No problem. I don't mind the weather altho sunshine would help for hanging out the wash! No snow yet ....................
