I am so happy that you are ok... I undestand your feelings about the accident. It is annoying to deal with all the stuff you have to deal with after the accident... at least you are well and you cant tell the story...
Hugs

Yes, that sounds good.
We get out a little after 12:00. We will take 2 cars, then I can leave right from church (290/1960) rather than coming home and then back tracking. Restautant.com has a 50% sale. The code is dining - check it out and see if there is something that interest yous. I can purchase the cert. Let me know

Hey Jen,
Sorry about your mom-in-law but glad she's at peace now.
I'm still coming to Houston. I leave Chicago on Friday. Heard from V and we are planning on getting together Sunday the 13th. My sibs will be at the Astro's game.
Anyone else out there in the Texas area are very welcome to join in.
My bumps and bruises have healed but now I'm down with a miserable cold that hit Thursday on the way home from work. I'm doing the Zycom thing and hoping it will be all gone by Friday
I was at athe doctor last Monday and I'm up 2 pounds as well. I keep going up and down 5 pounds but at least the range keeps gong i the downward scale. Monday I was 192. 189 was the least I ever got to. At some point I'll be 185 which is my personal goal but I'm not going crazy over it.
Looking forward to see you soon.
Sending hugs,
Ronna

Here is my crazy life's update ...
Gosh time flies, it must be close to a month since I posted. We are busy as usual. Feb and March were rough months, the kids were all sick and my mother in law died. My hubby went ahead of me to PA to say his goodbyes. I followed to PA about a week later for the funeral. I only took the baby and my sis took care of the "big" kids.
We are only weeks away from finalizing the adoption and have submitted our home-study for another brother/sister sibling group. I do not think we have a great chance at getting them b/c they have no problems and are white. They had close to 30 home studies submitted. I know God will give us what kids he wants us to have. We are shopping for a "new" 12 pasenger van to hold all of the kids and their "stuff"
Through all the drama of sickness and death, my weight held steady. I am thankful for that. I wi**** were lower but I am glad it held and I did not gain b/c I was definitely emmotionally eating. I am at 209 and wearing a 16 - 18. Bigger than the 10/12 before the pregnancy but still a lot smaller than my largest size of 30/32. I am up 20 pounds from my lowest weight. I am eating like crap - pretty much whatever whenever. I cannot get it under control. I do ok for a few hours or a whole day if I am really trying, then it all goes to hell. I guess I need to refocus!
Baby Faith is NINE months old -- how did that happen. She is a blessing and just a joy. She is a very happy and content baby. I wish we could post pics on this board. She is a cutie for sure.
I hope you all are blessed and have a great weekend!
Love and God Bless!

Topic: RE: Plastic surgery
Kay, I had a lbl in November. It's so nice having a flat stomach area. I'm getting my arms and upper area taken care of this summer. If you can do at least a belt lipectomy (all across front...includes panni, tummy tuck) will take care of whole front. It would be worth financing if you have to. It probably wouldn't be too much out of pocket since you're already paying hospital, anes., surgeon for the panni time. I would definitely check on the price difference, and if not too much, go for the lbl. You'll be much happier, but anything is better than nothing.

Topic: Plastic surgery
Well, I'm really ready to have PS and hernia repair and have been reading about the different surgeries. I want the LBL but it looks like insurance wont pay for the LBL. Anybody heard or know? I cant see just having my panni removed and still being stick with a flabby and big muffin top. I will be so "uneven". Up top sticks out pretty far now because of the hernia but onces the hernias are removed, it's still a lot of skin threre.
I know someone just had a LBL a couple months ago but don't remember who? Who are you? LOL. Did insurance pay or was that out of pocket.
I've been afraid but now I'm ready.. tired of the skin and saggy boobs!

Topic: RE: HELLOOOOOOOOOO
Hey there. I was posting too and no one was posting so I stopped! Plus, no one was posting, period. I'm starting to think this board is a thing of the past unfortunately. It was very supportive to me but no one posts anymore. Other forums are helpful as well but it was a little family since we all started at the same time. In any event, I hope everyone is doing excellent! I'll be chiming in here and there! And my menu was sparse yesterday...I went to the Martha Stewart show and only got 3 hrs sleep in 48 hours. Not good!!!
