Good morning/afternoon Crazies&#33;<br /><br />It&#39;s a cold dreary day here in SE Michigan - temps in the 40&#39;s today.<br />I&#39;m feeling pretty good today. I didn&#39;t have to run my &#39;Mom Taxi&#39; - DS&#39;s class was cancelled. So, I was able to sleep in a little bit and then get some errands run.<br /><br /><b>Joe</b> and <b>Tuesday</b>, welcome to the &#39;Dock&#39;. Just jump right in - nobody&#39;s a stranger around here&#33; (there may be some that are a little &quot;strange&quot; but not strangers-LOL&#33;)<br /><br /><b>Chris</b> - no, you never stop worrying about your children no matter how old they are. I guess it&#39;s just a different kind of worrying <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":smile:" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> <br /><br /><b>Sue</b> - Glad you at least can talk to your sister about your mom. I know we love our parents dearly but sometimes they can really get you down&#33;<br /><br /><b>James</b> - what a nice surprise for your DW - the cruise&#33; I wish my DH would surprise me like that <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/ohmy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ohmy:" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" /> <br /><br /><b>Rose</b> - I try to avoid Toys R Us - especially during the holidays. We only have 2 little ones to buy for anyway - my great-nieces. And my niece (their mom) usually registers them at Amazon - so much easier&#33;<br /><br /><b>Kevin</b> - That&#39;s a good idea to try to catch at least 10 min. of &#39;rays&#39;/day&#33; The problem with living here in MI we&#39;re lucky to get 10 minutes of sunlight/day in the winter <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/cool.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cool2:" border="0" alt="cool.gif" /> <br /><br />A big HELLO to Joey, Andrea, Carmen, Steve, Ed, Mary Lou, Falina, Shaunna, Jenn, Cheryl and all other Crazies out there&#33;
