Wednesday Roll Call

WOW, lookie, lookie at all of the new members that are popping up on the board! I love it, the more the merrier. Not much happening with me other than work and then I will go from work at lunch to visit Jim. I have updated a couple of times on my original post from 2 days ago. I am thinking of putting up a new post with info so it is closer to the top of the board. Well, need to make my breakfast and then get my tushie going and get ready for work. You all have a great day!  &   Christine

Morning everyone!  Chris you and your family are in my thought and prayers.  Well, I am up and dressed earlier than usual today, and wow is it cold outside lol. I have to leave in another 30 minutes as I have my final meeting with my surgeon pre-op today. Since it is so early what would take 45 minutes will take much longer with the traffic. At least it is not snowing, right? I sure hope they don't take my blood pressure as I think it is off the charts right now, with my nerves haha. Anyway, I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Good morning Chris and Renee. If Lisa is writing a message at the same time I am, good morning to you too my dear friend! Chris - I am still praying for your brother and SIL. Hope he is getting stronger day by day. Renee - I'm so excited for you! Your day is coming soon. It will be the beginning of a brand new life. Today I am very busy at work and then a visit to my PCP. The Cymbalta is working. Now I have to get something to work on my appetite. I have an appointment with the nutritionist and nurse practitioner tomorrow. Wishing everyone a Happy Wednesday! Hugs, Lucy

Good morning everyone!  I am still around, just can't sit at the computer long due to back issues. Chris, I am praying for your family, and I have been checking for updates. Hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning Chris and the rest of Illinois! My thoughts are (as ever) with you and your family for your brother's recovery.  Any news on Dave's job interveiws? I visited with my Aunt last night and she is having a hard time.  It is totally to be expected, as she is not from around here and she has never been alone in her 60 years.  I just wish there was more I could do to ease her pain.  This weather is not very helpful either.  I can only keep in touch with her and try to keep her spirits up. I am feeling mostly better after my flu, but now, I think I may be getting a sinus infection as the same left side of my head is still stopped up and I am blowing "colors" now.  It may be time for a doctor visit, I will try to squeeze one in. After work today, just home to the family and more rest.   Today is my oldest daughter's 30th birthday!  I can not believe it......30 years ago, I became a mother.  We had many hard years, but we always had each other.  She has grown up to be a beautiful young woman and I am looking forward to the next 30 years of her (and my) life.   The "little" ones think she is "SOOO old"......how funny!  They are going to call her this morning and sing her the birthday song.  I hope she has a wonderful day. I am thinking of all of you and wishing you nothing but good things!

Good Morning Il Friends!

Today it's back to work for me as I have been off for one reason or another for the last 4 days.  Tyler is heading back to school today, no more fever finally but still very congested and coughing.  No word on the strept test yet.  Probably today I think. 

After work it's home for more Math homework....I hate math!  lol

Chris your brother and SIL are still in my prayers and I like the idea of starting a new thread to keep us updated. 

Everyone stay safe and warm today!!

Good Morning all, The sun is out and I had to wear my sunglasses this morning to see, with all the white snow. Sorry  Lucy, could not get on early this morning, had a few things to do before I left for work. It appears to be a quiet morning here, yesterday with all the snow and blow, we had a lot of clients come in,  and I didn't get home until almost 5. Tomorrow, I will see Dr. Hart and then Dr. Guske. Not sure if I will get a fill this time or not, I didn't last month.  Chris and Kim, I have both of you in my thoughts with your family members in the hospital. THINK SPRING, its supose to hit 50 on Sunday Hugs

Good morning friends! Well we have tied our previous snow record and now there is more coming tomorrow. Oh well. It is at least pretty. I sent pictures of yesterday morning to my granddaughter who is 6 and lives on the southern border of Arkansas. She will want to come here! I can't wait till she is old enough to fly by herself to visit, even though we would have to go to Midway to pick her up.

Work is slow today--the students have a study day for the next exam so I don't have to teach. For each of you who have been sick--hope each day that you feel better. For those who have family stuff--good energy and prayers go your way.

Living one day at a time.

Good Morning... I was up early this morning...Got the little ones off to school...Threw a roast and veggies in the crock-pot, I went to the 8-9am water class and stayed and did the 9-10 water class! I needed to put my energy into something positive... I feel good! I need to go to Serenity's school by 11:30 to take care of what's going on, find out how much the phone cost to replace etc... After that I am going to my mom's, She wanted me to bring Serenity over... Her and Serenity are very close and she wants to just talk to her a bit... My sister is a 911 dispatcher for Elgin and she has a call in to see if Serenity can tour the Juvenile section... I am going to call the local police department and talk to the social worker and see if she offers any advice... Over the last 2 months Serenity's has joined me at my water class on Saturday's just me and her, and she has attended my Saturday support groups with me just her and I... I am thinking about adding maybe something more enjoyable during our 1 on 1 time... Thank you ALL for your responses to my post yesterday, I will respond when I return home later and have some more time... I just wanted to check in before I left... Say a quick prayer for Kimberley her surgery should be starting any time now... Keeping you all in my prayers as well! Jenn

Wow Jenn, No words of wisdom for you just a great big hug and some prayers.   This age terrifies me as my 2 are fast approaching ( they will be 8 this week).  My daughter already has an attitude at times.   I honestly can say I am scared to death.    Just keep the faith and keep praying.  Thats all we can do.  If you need someone to talk to I am here.  Ya know sometimes we just need a good cry to help us feel better.  I bet the exercising helped a great deal.    {{{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Gina
