Farewells and Countdowns...

                         

Well, its about time for me to say good-bye... No, not to J-Land or my J-Land friends, but good-bye to work.  Okay, for at least 5 days that is.  Yep!  You heard me, after 330pm today, I'm going to be off work for 5 whole days.  WOO HOO.  Can you say mini-vacation?  Yes, I'm sure you can.  LOL.  I'm really excited too.  I'm sure no one can tell that though.

Tonight does start a hard job for me though.  Tonight, I'm embarking on a new territory.  Tonight, I'm going to start to try to get Rowan to sleep in her own room... Ah, yes, the dreaded task.  But, because I will be home for the next 5 days, not having to worry about when I need to get up, I'm going to take the time and get her to sleep in her big girl bed.  Please, wish me luck!  Its going to be hard... on both of us :)

The countdown to Christmas is only 3 days... Or!  2 days until Christmas Eve.  If you think about it, "Christmas Eve is the day after tomorrow"... haha.  Now, I bet some of you are going to want to kill me after I said that, but hey, I'm excited.

Last night, the Hubby put together Miss Rowan's purple Princess Bike.  The poor guy, he really had a hard time with it too.  He is/was so used to putting together expensive bikes (from when he was younger and BMX-ing) that putting together a $60 bike was hard for his nerves.  LOL.  He only wants the best for his Baby Girl, but hey, she isn't even 3 and I think she'll enjoy her PURPLE PRINCESS bike just fine.  Haha.

I didn't have to go play Santa last night.  We ended up just staying at our house and having another couple come over to exchange presents instead.  That was a whole lot better for us, because I didn't want to take Rowan out in the cold anyways.  The present I got for them was made by Nadine over at N2Glass.  If you go to her site, you can see it for yourself.  It is under the "Whats New", the wedding set.  It was perfect, because she did them in her wedding colors.  (This was for my friend who's wedding I was in!).  I think she really liked them... I know I would have.

Tomorrow night, we are going to my best friends house (Auntie Amy) to exchange presents.  I actually think the Hubby will be going too.  I'm not sure though, because he works tonight and part of tomorrow, but I'm hoping he does.  I do have to go pick up the present that I'm getting for her and her bf, but I can do that before I go to their house.  I am going to go get them 2 tickets to the movies, because they never get to go out!  So, I thought that would be a nice little couple present, along with her individual presents (a mirror by Nadine and a purse).

So, I mentioned the Hubby is working tonight.  He is going to be working a DUI check point, but I don't like him doing that, especially with the fog.  It drives me nuts knowing that they are standing out there on a busy road and a drunk driver could be flying down the same road.... Argh.  Then, he is going to do dog training at 230am with the other dog handler.  Can you say crazy??  So, he should be home Thursday somewhere around 830-9am.  But that means he'll be sleeping most of the day and I'll have to find something to do with Rowan so we don't wake him... I'm so glad he doesn't work graves...

I still can't believe how quickly this month has flown by.  It seems like yesterday I was saying there was 50 some-odd days until Christmas and now its only 3 days away.  I sure hope that everyone has a wonderful holiday and enjoys their time with their family and gets all that they've wished for .

Well, I think I've rambled enough for today.  I do hope that I get to come back to J-Land before Christmas and see what else is going on with everyone and to again, wish you a Merry Christmas.

HUGS TO ALL... Jennifer
