Oh, you poor thing! I wish I was there to help you out. I could at least help you decorate the tree. But, you know, it looks like everything is pretty much out of your hands, so you might as well just try to relax and take whatever comes. I know, that is easier said than done.

That really is awful about your soaked carpeting. There is never a good time for that to happen, but during Christmas has to be the worst.

7 inches of snow??? My goodness. Does it show any signs of stopping anytime soon?

Awe...wish you could to. My cleaning lady (now dad's "caregiver" two extra days a week) did a lot of my decorating, polished the silver etc. and "knock on wood" if the roads are okay will be here tomorrow to help (she's 72, has been with me 18 years and has kind of adopted us all!

This is my second Christmas without mom (it was only two months last year and the whole thing was a "fog") BUT just realized I would be picking them up from the airport this morning...mom would be wrapping presents and going through lists of "stuff to do"...tomorrow we would shop. What a difference a year makes because I'm kind of smiling when I remember rather then having that spike in the heart pain I felt last year.

Thanks to you all sistahs and brotha's for your support this year! Now, I really need to sign off and get some work done.

Oh...and we have a huge circular driveway and someone just came in and plowed us out and left. We have no idea who!!!! BrothaLouie...are you in the neighborhood?????
