aww thank you. I like yours too. Happy Christmas <3

I said something like "I'm overstimulated" and went to my room before taking recovery time. Thank goodness I had that option.

More love coming your way.

- Well, the conversation went very well. He really is a nice older man who is a bit lonely. He finally got a taste of my dry humor and it had us all laughing. It really broke the tension and made everything real. He wasn't just words on the screen anymore but became a real person, if that makes any sense. I'm very glad I asked him if we could speak over the telephone today. Thank you to everyone who sent strength and love, it was greatly appreciated and it did help, a lot. It was nice knowing you all have my back, so to say. :D ❤ ❤ ❤

haha yea well, they were doing a lot of shaking.. had to keep telling them to put them down xD they are so happy to have the switch now :)

oh so pretty. hope you had a wonderful Christmas :D

I'm so happy for you and your bio dad !

- Thank you :D

Guess I'm out of the loop...suddenly everyone is telling me Happy Christmas. 😂 Is it a thing now and do I need to start saying it that way too?

I'm glad you took care of you!!

Yayyyy! 👏

Are the kids super happy right now? :-)

they are super happy to have a switch now, LOL Merry Christmas

I was wondering if they were excited about their Switch and I'm glad they're happy with it!!!

Heck yeah! I'm so glad it went so well <3

Thanks! I hope to do that again today. I really need to relax and drink more water. somehow??? i got really dehydrated??? on a big, exciting holiday??? facepalm

they are very happy about it.. now they have a switch and a ps4 LOL as well as their tablets. kids these days :P

super glad it went well and all <3

well I know that people in/from the UK tend to say Happy Christmas rather than Merry. I hope you had a lovely day <3

not to be nosey, but I bought one of those half gallon sports water bottles. Like this : It's worked wonders sitting in front of me and has helped kept me hydrated. I have a terrible knack of not drinking, which I didn't even realize how little I drank.

Oh no you're good! I appreciate the recommendation. That's so cute omg

ETA:

The Steelers play the 'Hawks this weekend! that's gonna be a comedy of errors

- I'm so relieved. So, what's been going on in your life lately? :D ❤

- I am too. How have yu been doing? Have a good holiday? :D ❤

- Me, too. So, how's your violin lessons going? :D ❤

I'm doing ok. I had a really nice holiday, actually. How about you? <3

- I'm so glad you did. :) After the phone call everyone was in a good mood and it lasted all day. It turned out to be one of our best holiday's even without all the kids there. :D ❤

You still have company? Are you ok today and drinking enough water? Yeah that game is going to be a sh** show! So I've still been watching the wrestling and I don't understand how they beat the crap out of each other and just keep going. To me it looks like real body blows and not faked. 😳

How did we survive without all of the electronic toys? LOL! I'm glad they're having fun.

Everyone told me Happy Christmas this year. 😂 I thought maybe I wasn't up on new things. :-P

Wow Liz was off work for 4 whole days and went back to work today. Christmas came and went way too fast! Today was running her around and grocery shopping. ugh :-D
