Monday...already??? Blahhh. Back to work in the morning. Good thing is that I have a short week this week!:) Then I am off for four days!!! I am lovin every bit of that! I am ready to see all the fam and eat some good food. There is nothing better than being at my Memaws eating the wonderful food she cooks. She is the best cook ever!!! My Mom is too but I love having all the holidays at my Memaws. I don't ever want that to change.
Today we went to my Memes house and did our Thanksgiving lunch! It was so good. We had a great time visiting and we put my Memes Christmas tree up for her. All in all it was a great day. I even made some time for laundry and cleaning the house. I did get a little shopping done for Abby this weekend. I love Christmas. I am not planning on going shopping Friday morning. It is just too crazy out there for me. I think I am just going to have my Dad pick up somethings for me. That would be easier than getting out in all that mess.
Bed time for me. I am worn out and ready to get these few days of work over with!!:)

Busy Afternoon

Abby, Dalten (my brother) and I put the Christmas tree up today. Abby was so happy when I got to my Mom's to pick her up today, I had told her last nigh that we would put the tree and stuff when I got off work and boy was she ready. She was cracking me up. As soon as I got there she told me that she was ready and that I could not stay and visit...we had to go right then. She may think she is the boss sometimes. And I can say that she gets that from me. Bless her heart. So we did not stay very long but we did stay long enough for me to talk my brother into coming and helping us get it all out and up. Which was a big plus. I just love having brothers. :) Younger Brothers that is.
Any who, Tree is up. Living room is decorated half way. I still have a few things that I have to put up. Tomorrow I will be cleaning the rest of the house and doing laundry. I have some decorations that I have to put in the dining room and kitchen too. I hope to make time to get it all done.
          I am planning on getting to sleep late in the morning...yea planning but usually that does not happen. I will just have to wait and see what Miss Abigail decides to do.

After all the decorating we went back out to my Mom's for supper with the fam. It was very nice. If you haven't noticed we spend a bunch of time at my Mom's house. Haha. We just love hanging out there!! We always have a good time and good food!! We sat out on the patio with a fire and just chilled! I love it. I wish that I lived out of town. I miss that so much. I think that I am pretty much a country girl at heart. There is no better way for me to relax than just sitting out on the patio at night with a fire and all the fam!!!!!I could do it every single night. 

I think that Abby and I are going to see if we can find some Christmas cartoon shows on and snuggle up in the bed!!!

Friday.....Finally!

Yes! I am so glad that it is Friday and that my weekend started about 3:30 today. I love getting off early any day but I really love getting off early on Friday. It was a busy week and I am ready for a break!
 I work at an Endoscopy Center, we do colonoscopies and EGD's, I do billing, coding and insurance verification. You would think that people would not really want to tell me about their hemorrhoids and all of that business but I guess that they think that since I work in this field that it is ok. It really amazes me the things that people will tell a complete stranger. Wow. I have gotten where I am not so surprised by it all but sometimes I really get shocked. I think that I have really just come to the conclusion that people just need someone to talk to and since I guess that their family will not listen to them they talk my ear off. When I start to really think hard about it all, I get really sad for these people that have no one to talk to.:( As for the people that just want to wear me out and keep me on the phone for no other reason but to listen to themselves talk, I just don't have patients for them. I am a really open person and  I am not one to get embarrassed but I would never think of telling a complete stranger about my ass, colon or hemorrhoids. Just sayin! I will tell my friends and co-workers just about anything though. And I am sure that they are really happy that I am so open about things. I think that they no longer are surprised about what comes out of my mouth. By the way Sorry Steph for the crazy things that I say!! Hehe. That is just me. And just think how boring work would be without me!!!!!

Tomorrow is FRIDAY!!!!!

Thank goodness that tomorrow is Friday. I am so glad!! This week has been a L-O-N-G one. :( Work has been busy which is nice but I am ready for a couple of days off. I have things to do and I have not been in the mood to do them this week.

So yesterday my car battery was dead and today I fell down the stairs walking into my garage. :( What the hell is going on here??? I was all ready for work and thought that I would go and warm my car up a little before I left....so I was headed out the laundry room door and down the stairs into the garage and just fell for like 5 minutes. I seriously thought that I had broken my leg, hip or something of that nature. It was one of those falls that you wish that someone was around because you are really not sure you are okay or not. It was bad. I finally get up and I am in all one piece and I start my car and head back in the house. My Mom meets my at the laundry room door and looks at me and asks me "what have you been doing ?""You have dirt and stuff all over you!" I am like hello I just fell for five minutes....you didn't hear me?? And She says " Oh that was you?" " I thought that someone was rolling their dumpster out." Oh No Mom that was me rolling around.  I am sure that I will not be able to move tomorrow. I am a lil sore now but not too bad. When I landed my hip landed on the edge of the stairs so I am sure there will be some soreness for me.  I am just glad that I didn't break anything. :) That is a plus. Okay I will stop crying for now about no coordination having self. :)

Funny Story

I mentioned the fart machine we were playing with at work not to long ago right....Well we got it back out today and it really never gets old. Hannah (one of the nurses daughters) was in the office with us this afternoon and Brenda thought that she would get it out and see what she thought about it. So she gave it to Michelle and she put it in her pocket and went up and sat down beside her and Brenda had the remote and was pushing it. Hannah thought that is was real and was laughing so hard. It was great, but that was not the greatest part. There was a waiting room full of people and Michelle had to go to the bathroom and she forgot that she had it in her pocket....Oh yes...On her way back through the waiting room, full of people, Brenda pushes the button and it was so loud in there. Everyone out there was just staring at her and laughing. She was embarrassed. I was laughing harder than I have ever laughed before.  She ended up going out there and telling them that it was a machine because they were out there talking about how she was not even shy and just farted in front of all of them. It was so halarious!!! Good times, Good times. I am sorry that Stephanie missed it!!! 

We are having Thanksgiving at my Memes house this Sunday. I can't wait. I will have to take some pics of us all and post them. :) Fun times with the family.

Oh yea Speaking of pics, my brother just go his senior pics done and she has a few of the done. Take a look and see what you think.....

He is just so damn handsome. I think that he may take after me a little bit. Haha. Yea right. My lil brother growing up and will be graduating this year. Ok that is enough I will be crying again. I am so proud of both of my brothers. They mean so much to me. I would just be lost without them and they are both wonderful Uncles!!!! Abby adores them both. I am a very blessed big sister!!!
                  So Blessed, Ashley

So I woke up in such a great mood today but that was short lived.:( Got all ready for work and headed out out the door....and my car would not start. OMG. I hate when stuff like that happens. So I figured out that my battery is dead and there were no jumper cables at the house....why not you ask?? Well that is because my husband thinks that every Tom, Dick and Harry need to use our shit and not return it. Blahhhhhhh. So my good mood is gone to the bye-bye! Finally made it to work a little after 8. I hope this day gets better!!!

Just Tuesday???

So I was thinking that this day was NOT Tuesday. Haha. I was thinking more like Thursday...But I guess not. Tomorrow get off work around 3. It is so nice to get off early and be able to get some things done!

On my lunch break today I ran to Walgreens, I love that place. I could stay in there for hours just looking around. yea I know that is crazy but I really can. Anywho, I found some Littlest Pet Shop sets, she has been wanting to start a lil collection, so I bought her a few of them. I am going to put them up for Christmas. You have no idea how hard that is for me to do. I usually always buy stuff to put up for Christmas or her birthday and I end up giving it to her early. So silly. But I put the stuff that I bought today directly into my trunk so maybe I will forget about it for a while. I also got her a big Tinker Bell make up set. She will love it. She is all about putting on make up and dressing up. Cracks me up. For the longest time she was putting mascara on her eye brows. Haha. It was so funny.

I think that I pretty much have my Christmas shopping list all finished in my head. I think....I hope. I really don't want to wait till the last minute. My Mom is wanting a new sewing machine so my brothers, Justin and I are going to get her one that she has been eyeballing. She will love it. :) My brothers are not hard to buy for at all. They are happy with whatever. Sweet boys. I am sure that they will be getting some new TAPOUT shirts or something of that nature. My Step Dad is a little bit harder to buy for. I think he maybe the only one that I have completely decided on yet. I will have to talk to my brothers and we will have to figure something out. I am going to get pics printed for everyone in the fam and some friends as well. I think that I am going to find a really nice frame with several places for pics for my Memaw and put our new fam pics in it. She loves to get pics. I really need to make a list on paper so that I don't forget anything. But really I am not a list maker. And if I do make a list, I am that girl that leaves it at home. :) Yea like that does me any good. I just love the holidays. I have got to get all my decorations out. Abby keeps asking me when we are going to decorate. She loves it just as much as I do.

I am loving this....

I am loving this weather. I really love when it gets colder outside. I would really love for it to snow. I used to be all about the summer but I hae grown to really love fall and winter. Last year we had a really big snow and it was a pain in the butt but I really kinda liked it. It would be perfect if I did not have to worry about getting to work and all of that business.
One of the girls from work was telling me that they are calling this warmer weather that we have been having an Indian Summer. I had no idea what that was until she said something about it. So I guess that it is true, you do learn something new everyday. :)

So my youngest brother, Dalten is getting his senior pics done tomorrow. Wow I really can't believe it. My Mom will no longer have kids of her own in school. Well I guess that she will since Dalten will be in college but she will not have any in school here in town. I am really feeling old at the moment. My daughter will start school next year. Ohhhhh I think that I am fixing to have a panic attack. I just get all crazy thinking about it. I know that she will be fine but I just think that she is growing up way way to fast.

Speaking of babies growing up way to fast. I got to hear the sweetest sound today. It was the sound of a baby's heart beat. A friend that I work with went to the Dr with her daughter today. She is about 101/2 weeks and they recorded the heart beat on her cell phone. OMG. It was so sweet. I really just about cried. I just love all of that. The sonos, listening to the heart beat and the whole works. Being prego is just the greatest thing ever. Oh and I got to see the pics from her sono as well. Soooooo cute. And so sweet. It just makes me want to have a baby right now. :) Hehe. I think that I missed my calling. I think that I would have went to school for OBGYN. Wouldn't it just be amazing to be there for so many births and have such a big part in it??? I think that would just be wonderful. I just love me some babies. I can't wait to see the lil sweet one in person that I saw today in pics.

Well my baby girl and I have a cartoon date in just a few so I have to get all comfy in the bed.:)
