Sunday Roll Call

Good Morning (whew, it's still morning for about another 5 minutes!  lol)  I slept WAY too late today....didn't get up til almost 10 then snuggled with Jacob and the dogs for a while talking.

Yesterday I mailed my 5 yr medical history to Michelle, priority wit delivery confirmation...LOL  I want to make sure she gets it asap. 

Today I am doing laundry, cleaning a little, working out, doing homework and just playing around.  Tomorrow the kids go back to school...yay!!! 

I hope that everyone is doing well and that things are looking up for everyone as well.

Good afternoon all, I am just finished cleanin up from lunch. It seems like sprng here. Sunny and 63 degrees out. It would be UGH!!I plan on gettin the kids and husband and even the dog out for a walk later. Maby we can get out of thestir crazy phase. The kids (well just one of mine) go back to school . I am going to go get some multivit. to start takin in prep for my surgery. I am going to start to get some protein shakes. I hope that everyone has a great day!!

Hi Tom, glad you aren't just lurking any longer!  Congrats on your upcoming surgery date! You are among the greatest bunch on "LOSERS" I have ever known. If you have any questions someone is sure to try their best to help! Keep us updated on your progress!  Karen

Hi Tom --  I saw that you are from Loves Park.  I am from Rockford.  Its nice to see people "popping" in out of the Rockford areas.  I also had Dr. McClellan as my doctor.  She and her staff are wonderful ... you will be in good hands :)  See you on the loser bench soon! Gina :)

Hi Tom!!!   Welcome, you will find us all here very supportive and fun. Congratulations also, cause you will get to join us losers on the bench. 

Connie, sometimes you just have to have a first; that is first one to put up the roll call and the first time to do it. I was here early on this morning but too tired to start the roll call, tho I thought of it. We had 44 people including ourselves at our neighborhood party coming and going at various times from about 4ish onto about 10pm. It is so relaxing to just sit back and have a casual party with people you know and love. Most of the goings was from the college age boys stopping in because they knew they would get good ribs and shrimp before they went onto a party with their friends elsewhere!  It is enjoyable to have kids into the house even though they fool around too much inside the house for my liking. I did stop them from playing Hide and Go Seek a couple of times, my house is not kid proof nor is there anywhere they can really hide and not cause something to topple over. And I cannot stand kids that do not use their "inside" voices when they are in a house and around adults. It is a different set of standards today than when I was raised. I did have a funny time with my great great niece (she is 3 1/2) that was over (she is my neighbor). She wanted some chocolate from the treat table and I did not know that she did not eat dinner even though I asked her if her mommy said it was ok to have the chocolate., yeah I know I am naive. I let her pick and then she went into the dining room where mom was at and mom took it away from her. Sammi looked back at me incredulously like "how can you let mommy take that away from me when you let me have it?", all the while she was screaming at the top of her lungs. My niece proceeded to get her ready to go home. Jamie, her mom said she did not have a nap today because she was at work and daddy let her get away with out it. And Dad will let her get away with not eating properly. Mom's always know best.  Other than recovering from the party and doing a few things around the house I am ready to drop into my chair. I did get the Christmas tree taken down and it is on the curb for the trash tomorrow and all the ornaments, lights and general tree supplies are organized and in their storage boxes. I can look beyond the fact that the floors need to be washed and a few other things that need to be done. My recliner is beckoning me big time.  Chris

Hi Tom - Welcome to OH and the IL Board.  Congrats on your upcoming surgery.  I know you must be very excited about your upcoming day.  It's an amazing journey so hold on tight.  Glad you stopped in to say hello.  Good Luck to you and I hope you keep us posted on your progress. Christina

Hi Christina!  It's good to "see" you.  I'm sorry that your foot is taking so long to heal, do they know why?

Calvin will be in mine and Mike's thoughts and prayers on Tuesday...how exciting!!  Keep us updated on how he's doing. 

Hi Monica..  Thank you for the prayers for Calvin.  He is so excited.  As far as my foot, it's the tendan (i don't know if I spelled that right) but anyway, they had to mess with the tendan that goes from my big toe all the way up my leg and that is causing the extra healing time.  It's getting better just slower then I want! I hope you get your approval quickly! I'll let everyone know how Calvin is doing on Tuesday.  They said he may even go home same day.  We shall see. HUGS, Christina

Hi Tom!  welcome and I am so glad you came out of lurkdome....this is a great group.  Wow, surgery is coming up huh?  that's so great!  You will be in my thoughts!
