Hi Everyone!

MyrnaLynne, I agree... Santa gets way too much credit for giving great gifts, but in my family we always got one great gift from Santa and one great gift from the parents. Altho' that was the way it was suppose to work, and I've followed that tradition with my own kids, but of course I give them more than just one present as the parent, unlike my folks did with the one present thing with me and my bro'.

But somehow, while growing up, Santa usually blew it in the gift giving dept. I'll explain... One year I wanted a pair of ice skates, as all my friends had them and I didn't so this was something that I Really wanted!

Well, come Christmas morning, I see this box of ice skates under my stocking, but they were BLACK, MEN's size 11! Hmmm, I know I only took a woman's size 7 so What the HECK?!!!

So that Christmas, I was still watching all my friends ice skate and sat on the side lines until my parents could return them for the Right Ones! Grrrr!

Or the time I wanted the Really Cool Honey West Doll... and instead I got a stupid Jane West Doll! (Honey West was my hero... action hero, kick a$$, brave, and you name it, and that was Honey West!)

Jane West was a cowgirl!

How could they screw that up???!!! Leave it to my parents and they did.

I think my parents secretly drank ... either that or they were complete idiots! I couldn't tell which?! But that's one way to crush a child's spirit... get the gift wrong Every Fricken Year, while my Bro' would laugh his a$$ off at me and the mistake! Grrrr!

Funny, Santa never screwed up my Bro's gifts! GRRRR! (I always knew they liked him best!)

Water under the bridge.

Scottie, my Lainie had her last final today too! But it was 10am this morning, not no 5pm! What a lousy time for a final!

Enjoy your son! And have a Wonderful Christmas and New Year with your family.

And yes, I never watched reality shows to begin with, and I'm not about to start now.

So, I've not been watching too much TV, actually hardly at all now.

And thanks for all the Congrats to Lainie! She is one very smart young lady, if I do say so myself.

Gosh, yes, I remember all those tests in school, and in nursing school too! Yikes, how did it all fit in my brain?! LOL! Yes, thank goodness that's all behind me now. Whew!

At least with nursing school, it's practical knowledge, and used every day, but when will I even need to recite the poem, "The Midnight's Ride of Paul Revere"?!

Well my 5th grade teacher insisted that we learn it, along with a ton of other useless poems, and made our lives Hell if we didn't learn them!

So to this day, I still have that useless info in my head of poems and of the like. Grrrr!

That teacher gave me nightmares! She was a crabby old maid, and hated children, so of course she was a teacher!

When I went to grade school, (a million years ago), all the teachers were so mean!

But now-a-days, they're mostly really nice! My kids have had some of the nicest teacher's I've ever met!

Hope Everyone is doing Great!

Hugs to All,

Wen
