Wednesday night, as I was cooking, I thought....wow, it's going to be great to have 4 days off. Tonight, I'm trying to figure out where the 4 days went. Thanksgiving is packed up for another year and Christmas is unpacked and in place. I didn't drag everything out....just enough to make the house festive. May bring out more of my tree collection as the week comes along. Or not....
Quick movie review: Burlesque is GREAT. Cher is fabulous and Christina Agularia (okay, I can't spell it!) is really good too. Might be right up there with my all time favorite, Dirty Dancing. Chelsey and I went together to see it and she loved it too. We discussed having to find the cd when it comes out....it was fun to spend time with her. She's kinda feeling her way around without D. Fun but at the same time, kinda sad.
Colby has played Xbox for days with friends.....Call of Duty Black Ops is the new fav!
Back to work tomorrow....to finish the month end up. Can't believe it's almost Christmas again.
Love to all,
Pam

zZZZzzzzZZzzzzZZ
3 trips to the grocery store, a new electric smoker, 7-8 hours of prep time, 20 minutes to gobble it up, and another half hour for everyone in our house to be asleep. Danny in his bed, Taz in one recliner, me in the other, Ashley and Colby in my bed and Chelsey, Dylan and Colton in her room. I'd say it was a successful lunch...now I am going upstairs to have a nap with Lily...she's waiting on me!

Tuesday...
T'was two days before Thanksgiving and all thru our house,
Not a person was stiring, except for that mouse (in the garage),
Turkey and ham thawing in the frig,
Yes.....the ham is from Jorge the pig,
No other groceries brought at this time,
And it's no one's fault but mine.
No worries, no stressing,
Cause I'll still pull off making the dressing,
It could be in the wee hours of the night,
But no one will be up to help, or who knows, they might
Can't wait to see Ashley, Taz, Colton and Dylan,
No matter what, it will be a day full of filling!
This is the end of my rhyme,
As I've run out of time!
Happy Tuesday to all, gotta get dressed and hit the road,
As we've still got a bunch of loans to close!
Love to all, PK

The next time...
The next time I sit in the football stadium stands watching a Celina football game, Chelsey and Colby will be Seniors. My heart skips a beat to type that..... Watching all those guys walk out of the locker room with tears rolling last night, was really sad. The good news is, all have good heads on their shoulders, and will now start looking at the next chapter of their life.... Just so I remember Lovejoy 17 Celina 0.
Colby's text as Chelsey and I drove home last night? "just one more year for me Mom". My reply? "I can't see to drive if I am crying son...". Chelsey cried crocodile tears as Dallas walked off the field. Good grief, what a sad night for us all
Today, I think I shall do a little Christmas shopping. Danny had to be at work at 4am this morning and will likely not get off until midnight tonight. He'll get comp time for it....so in the end, it's worth it to him! Also...he passed his test yesterday!!!!! The one that was about to kick his tail. Knew you could do it babe! I must say that we have finally settled into a groove with him working. He's so much happier to have something to fill his time during the day. Happy is a good thing at the Fenter Funny Farm!
Off to shower and see what I can find to go under the tree this year...

.....
No title for tonights post.....let's review the past 24 hours.
Yesterday afternoon, while sitting at the longest light in Frisco, I decide to check my friends Facebook status....the first one I see is:
Dallas Russell: Colby you dumb a$$
I ponder that post a minute and then decide to text Colby
Me: What happened?
Colby: we'll talk about it when you get home...please don't yell at me
Me: spill it son, I'm not waiting.....
Long pause...
Me: NOW son....
Colby: I was reversing out of the drive way and didn't know Dallas was here. I hit the Land Rover. Please don't yell and cuss at me in text.
Long long long pause....
I get home to find his passenger side tail light busted out, a dent in the bumper and Colby along with Chelsey NOT home. Danny is here.... Seems they went to the basketball games, which I think was the destination Colby had in mind earlier.
Sooooooo.......today Ashley (thank you girly) takes his truck to get an estimate....$1500. On my way home I chat with Dallas' Mom, and let her know how sorry I am and that we will pay for the dented door on the Land Rover.
Colby texts me asking what the verdict is on his truck. I reply and he sends a note back "please do not take away my weekends". I reply....son, you'd better be worried about something other than your weekends..... This is where we stand. He has straightened his room, not ran the washer, and hid in the spare bedroom for the past 2 hours....
On the flip side (anyone notice just how many times I type that?).....I am sitting in my chair, watching tv, Lily in my lap, and a Physics test is right beside me on the table. Chelsey was the only one in the class to make 100!!!!!!! I think Colby had her put the test on the table, so I would forget about his weekends...
Least they are not both bad at the same time. I might raise the roof yelling! And cussing according to Coly....although, i really do not think I do that very often....must be Mama Bear. Not ME.
Have a good one...

Highlight of our Sunday...
The highlight of our Sunday? Brookshires trip....that's about all we accomplished today. Oh and I painted my first pair of shoes and scarf today. Not too bad. Think I'll wear them to work tomorrow. I got the idea from this web site monapaints.com
Dallas/Chelsey update...we BLAST home last night, so he can come over and hang out....at 11:15pm, I had listened to their fighting for as long as I could stand. I burst into the room and say ENOUGH...you two have been at this for 2 weeks now, and I am TIRED of it. Didn't take long for him to be blazing down the drive way. Again, beware of Mama Bear.
Colby and Kevin went to the movies. He watched a ittle tv afterward and then we cut his hair. He's now cashed out in my bed. Danny is snoring and I am tired too. It felt like 10pm, at 7:30! Hate the time change....
Now...to all the other bloggers, Marla, I love the pics of Grace and Parker, so cute! Megan, congrats on moving in again. Can't wait to see the new house. Carla....next time, I visit alone, so not to rush home...
Hope everyone has a good week. Can't believe it's 10 days until thanksgiving!
