Roll Call

Cancun! Sun! Heat! Beaches! I'm SOOOOOOO jealous!!!! Hope you have a GREAT time. What a wonderful way to spend your anniversary. I'm planning on heading out to NJ this weekend to go to the Meadowlands Flea Market and have some fun shopping. We'll probably stop at some NJ outlets on the way home too... Sunday- I have got to rake my yard! (I have extra rakes if anyone wants to volunteer...Anybody? Andbody?. No? Drat.) Oh well, at least I can do it without dying. That's a blessing. Oh yeah (like I forgot, right?), so I will have some news on the baby front by Monday. We'll see what happens... ANybody that has a spare minute today to offer up a prayer...it would be appreciated. So, it should be a fun weekend, all in all. Hope you all have great weekends. Thanks for starting the thread Linda! Rest your back now, hear? love & hugs, Lisa

I always have time for a prayer..and especially for you Lisa. I had secondary infertility issues after Kevin was born and it was probably mostly due to my obesity! I just know how that month to month thing gets so emotional! Sending love and prayers your way. I love the Meadownlands flea market..haven't been in years! Enjoy. Joanie

Lisa -- Consider prayers offered. I'll also keep my fingers & toes crossed! Have a great shopping weekend!!! XO Kathy F.

Lisa It is good idea to keep busy to rake to get your mind off!!! I cannnot wait to see you again on Nov @ at Dr office and want to give you big teddy bear hug. I will keep praying for you this weekend until tuesday . It will be nice xmas present for you and your husband. Hugs Kathy K

I'm praying, I'm praying...I sure hope it works this time. I know how rough it can be (having been through the same thing). I am sending prayers out right now! Take care, Anne

Linda - Hope your back feels better and quickly. Thanks for keeping us up to date. Lisa - Prayers are going out for you. You will be in my thoughts and hopes. All - Have a safe and blessed weekend in whatever you endeavor. NA

Linda, Thanks so much for reminding me about the time change, We would have shown up for church and thought everyone had left us! So sorry to hear about your back, Thats the worst. Flexeril is my best friend when that happens. I pray it is NOT a kidney stone. Cancun!!!!!!!! Got any room for a little angelette? Ok so maybe not so little yet.. but I'm working on it! I go back to work on Monday so I am going to relax as much as possible, my sons girlfriend is coming up from PA this weekend, we may do some leaf peeping if there ar any left! Also my favorite thing is to go to Newport and sit on the Ocean front with hubby all wrapped up in a blanket Have a great weekend all! RobinR

Hi Everyone, I am sorry that I have not been around much. I have been so down. As some of you know, I have been having severe pain in my backs since the middle of September and have been on heavy doses of pain meds as well. Things are not getting better so the Dr. is doing further testing. I'm sorry to say that it might be something more serious than a sprained lower back. I have been drawing inward and have not been good about keeping up with all my boards. On a happier note, I have started a wonderful job. I got very, very lucky to find a job that I can work from home with 95% of the time. My boss is an angel and completely understanding. So that's great news. I don't have very many plans for the weekend as everything depends on how I feel that moment. If I'm up to it, hubby and I will travel to Mass. for a costume party. If not, I will rest, rest and rest some more. Sunday I really look forward to seeing the kids trick or treating. My husband and I will be going to the holiday dinner. I won't miss it for anything. If I have to leave early, I don't care, I'm still going to go. I look forward to meeting some new friends there and at Sandy's Mary Kay party on the 12. My Mary Kay business is going well. It's what is helping to keep me sane these days. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend, Maggie

Sounds like everyone is so busy. Linda, enjoy Cancun and take care of your back! Maggie, I hope they figure out your problem and get you better ASAP! Robin, I can't believe you are going back to work so soon, take it easy and get lots of rest! Lisa, I wish you all the luck w/ a baby, you will be in my prayers! Everyone, have a great weekend and Happy Halloween! It is one of my favorite holidays! For me, I am feeling great, my knee is swollen (again!), I can't wait until this stops..... I know it will be soon, but it really is frustrating! Tonight we are taking my daughter and her friend (both 4) to Mystic Aquariums Sea Scare. Today, I hope to get a little housework done. Tomorrow is Halloween, so we will go Trick-or-Treating. I would also love to go to a haunted house (I know it sounds silly!), but don't know if it will happen. I start my swim class Monday. I hope it will help with my knees! Have a great weekend all! Carmen

Hi Linda my love!! You will have to let me know how Cancun is, my best friend and I are planning a get away next year for our 50th birthdays so I want to hear all the details. Call me. And Congratulations on your one year! It's so hard to imagine it's been a year already. Wow, how time flies when your having fun losing!! Rest that back before the long plane ride. I bought myself one of those new pillows that is filled with beads and it is just perfect for that little space in your lower back when I am driving or sitting at my desk. I bet they'd let you take it on the plane too. Lisa, you've been on my mind, so I am thinking that's a good sign. I will offer up a prayer for you today! Thank you to all of you that have called me, emailed me to be sure I am ok. I am. I am having my CAT Scan this Tuesday so hopefully that will tell me the next step. I have a feeling I am facing more surgery, but if it works to get rid of this constant pain than I am all for it! I have never been more grateful than I am now for my husband (believe it or not) and all of my friends and my faith, because without all of that I think I'd be lost. I think we are ready for all the kids tonight and all that candy doesn't tempt me a bit. Never did. That wasn't my downfall, choc chip muffins from Stop and Shop, cheesecake now THOSE would tempt me!! My girls hand out all the candy now so I get to just look at all the costumes. What a great morning getting that extra hour of sleep, I've really needed it. Linda, have lots of fun, Maggie-darlin, you look so pretty!! Kathy-keep going to Marshall and TJ's that's where I shop too and I never feel bad because I am getting such a deal! love to all! Cheryl
