Good Twisted Tuesday Morning Gang!
Janine thanks for the shout out. I don't know how you do it. (keeping up with everyone) Your amazing.
It's only Tuesday and already I can't wait until Friday. Maybe because I know it's a 3 day weekend. Woo Hoo!
I am on my way out the door. I hope everyone has a Great Day

Happy Terrific Tuesday! I just did not sleep well last night, must be the wind. I hate wind - it kicks up the allergies again.
Heard from Jayden last night. He called daddy at 7:30 and MoMo right before he went to bed. He had such a good time yesterday. I asked him if he wanted to go back............... and when he blurted out a resounding YES, I told him good, then I would let him go back. His momma got a chuckle out of that one. Apparently there's a cute little blonde girl that took a liking to him right off the bat and insisted on sitting next to him all day long, helping with projects and basically flirted with him all day long! He told daddy...........she's really cute and really nice but bugged me after a while. Ahhhh, that's girls for you!
Made venison stew and bisquits for the boys down at the bridge last night. I enjoy cooking and told them to come up with suggestions for what they want and the $$$$ for ingredients I'd like to bring them hot dinners 2 or three nights a week. They totally enjoy a warm meal even when it's hot outside.
I had a mega ADD day yesterday. I've battled it all my life and usually have it under control but yesterday was a doooozie. I started 6 different things, got distracted, forgot, came back started again, and finally piled it all up, and gave up for a while. Whew.
Gonna go check on my daddy. He's having some brachacardia (sp?) and his heart rate is less than 60 beats per minute and he's feeling run down. Prayers please............ My daddy's the bestests and we're waiting to hear from his heart doctor. The feeling right now is that it's just a reaction to medication so mom's adjusting it until we hear from the doctor. Dad's pretty lucky - he has his own super nurse at home. Mom's an RN with more initals and letters behind her title. She ran the Emergency room and Operating rooms here at the local hospital for years until she retired.
Ok, off to work. Time for my performance evaluation.
We are all doing great up here in the Central Valley!! Our daughter healed nicely from her surgery and goes in this afternoon to her orthodontist to start his plan. All the kids are adjusting well in school and it is nice to have a couple of hours to myself in the afternoon.
I am heading up to Fresno today with Mike to see my ortho surgeon and discuss what treatment he wants to do next. The traction that he has me doing has caused more pain than good and we are more than likely looking at injections. Joy. That will be a fun-filled day of numerous injections in an O.R. NOT looking forward to that one single bit. The other day I was in so much pain and just started crying and wondering if this was how I was going to have to live from now on. 36 years old and a back of a 90 year old.....
Anyway- depite the constant pain, I am over the moon with joy that Mike is home and we are all spending time together. This last weekend we went to Monterey and had a WONDERFUL time....I would love to find a way to move us out there!!
I have blabbered enough- hope everyone has a great day!

I got home from the Bay Area yesterday evening. My Neice is looking great, she saw me and said Aunt Terry you look so good I'm jealous. We talked about talking to her Dr. about WLS once she gets 100% recovered from this last one and her complications....
I saw my Mom, My Nephews and my Great Nephews and Great Neice, she is so cute she is 4 month and she had her toenails painted so adorable....


OMG, my2 1/2 yr old grandson came home from daycare with a note that one of the kids has, hand, feet and mouth virus.

If he gets that I think my daughter will have a nervous breakdown, he was sick all last winter from the previous day care (it was a much larger one) and she is just starting her externship for Dental Assisting. I can only pray that the kids didn't inter mingle or touch the same toys...
Off to feed the horses.
Have a great day.

Good Twisted Tuesday...and boy are my arms tired...my butt...my thighs and everything in between. Boy I tell you Janine I never would have guessed that Yoga would do this to me. But I still managed to do my morning workout yesterday and I'm hoping to do my stair climb tonight!!
Onward and upward. Life is really wonderful these days and I'm just thankful to be back on a workout mission. It feels good. Tonight after my stair climb I'm going out to dinner with some future WLS peeps who have questions regarding my surgery as they continue their research and finish up with Kaiser!
Ok got to get my coffee...it's late, lol.
