Good to see you peek in Queen Scoot! I hope things get better than being far from ok...

Very pretty afghan/babyghan!

I tried the hibernating thing for at least three hours and it didn't work really. I think I am coming down with something.

still so tired....

I think I need to dig a deeper hidey hole for my den....

Very pretty Scoot!! Where are Chuck and Luke today? Male hookers mia!! lol!! Come back guys, no kilts required, that cassock thing will be fine..what the heck is that anyway?!!

Still arguing with that woman over the loud cotton yarn..grrr, first she wont compromise and then she ticked me off like crazy not responding to me so I told her to forget it then I looked all over for the colros and none on cones anywhere I could find so then I told her we need to compromise and now I am waiting..most impatiently I might add..for her response. Another lady has it in the small skiens, may have to go that route, was hoping for the cones though. It was a good excuse to go in all the craft stores today..Michaels, Joanns and Hobby Lobby..man they have the MOST yarn of the 3 stores..it is pure overload for an addict I tell ya..it was hard!!!

Well, DH is anxious to play his online poker game so I'll talk to ya'll later

I really am wanting to hibernate, considering the weather. But I am getting my projects to finally behave.

This is what I get to look forward tomorrow night:

...MAJOR WINTER STORM EXPECTED TO IMPACT SOUTHERN WISCONSIN...

.A MAJOR WINTER STORM IS EXPECTED TO HAMMER THE AREA THURSDAY EVENING THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY AFTERNOON. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL GATHER STRENGTH OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS ON THURSDAY...THEN TRACK NORTHEAST ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI... REACHING NORTHERN INDIANA BY
FRIDAY MORNING. THIS IS A CLASSIC STORM TRACK FOR HEAVY SNOW ACROSS SOUTHERN WISCONSIN.

WIDESPREAD SNOW...HEAVY AT TIMES...WILL FALL ACROSS ALL OF SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST WISCONSIN. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 8 TO 12 INCHES ARE LIKELY ACROSS ALL OF SOUTHERN WISCONSIN...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE.

I particularly like their choice of the word Hammer... And thunder snow (that's coming too)...what a trip that is. I became familiar with that only couple of years ago. weird stuff. Hope those in MO and the rest of the storm's path hang in there too!

We're sorry to see you go Lovemychix!

Redhen - lionbrand has some circles and triangle free patterns (the triangles are in a critter and an afghan, but you could just do the shapes) I know SE has a bunch of different shape pattern references too.

Well, ladies and gents, I am officially unemployed again.

I went to the administrator a week ago and told him that if he could not work with the director of nursing to discipline the habitual call-off offenders, there was no way I would be able to get the staffing under control. They did nothing. Do you know, there is a girl that has worked there EIGHT MONTHS and has 17 call offs and NO DISCIPLINARY ACTION TAKEN?
I got the schedule to the point that there are enough girls on each floor, plus 2 extra aides that split their time between the 4 floors, a dream if people would actually SHOW UP FOR WORK!!!!!!!!!!!

I had 15 girls scheduled for 3-11 today. By 10:45, I had 4 call-offs. Okay, I thought, we can still do this, re-arranged a bit, asked a 7-3 girl to work an extra shift, she'd been looking for overtime. Came back from my quick 15 minute lunch break to a voicemail ... another call-off. Don't these people need money for Christmas?
Then, as I'm on the phone with the voicemail call-off, my voicemail light comes on again - yep, you guessed it, another call-off.
So, I went from 2 over to 4 under-staffed. My 7-3 girl who was going to stay over came in and backed out of the shift, can you blame her?
And the budget is so tight up there they won't let me call registry.
So, after mandating 4 girls for overtime, at the end of my shift, I walked over to the administrator's office, because, you know, the D.O.N. is NO WHERE to be found, and told him I could no longer subject myself to the stress the job held, and he said he understood, I resigned, cleaned out what few things I'd taken into my office, and came home.
*sigh*
So, we'll be broke again, and soon, but my husband has been telling me to leave for three days, so we'll work through it.

Anyways - on a bright note ... I have more BYC time!!

Night, ladies.

Em

Yelp that pretty much covers us, we just got 6 inches of snow yesterday. It was fun for the kids they got out of school early yesterday
Not looking forward to Ice storm for tomorrow, just hope our power doesn't go out. It will be kinda hard to keep heat circulating in the greenhouse. Got too much money and labor into the plants that are growing now. Good thing we have gas wall heater and wood stove to help. both have blowers on them but at least they still will produce heat with out blowers.

Sorry I haven't been around much just haven't felt up to pare most of the time and still a lot to do.. Noah and I just made 3 big batches of rice krispie treats. I'm going to make some cranberry nut bread I'll try to some some baking tonight. Then make more tomorrow and cookies, then will be ready to put together Christmas packages.

Maw I hope that the phone lines get straightened out for you soon.

Mangled Sorry you have been having such stress at that job and that you weren't getting any assistance to do the job the way you knew it needed to be. But glad you got out of it and your DH was behind you on it.

Scoot that Round Ripple Babyghan is really pretty..
I sure hope that things start getting better for your household.

Rocket I would love to go hibernate for a while myself. If I find a place we can be left alone with our crocheting I'll send you a map where to find me.
