MONDAY, MONDAY........ ROLL CALL

Good morning Dave and the rest of Illinois!

I'm glad that you had such a nice weekend Dave---good luck with all that is on your plate now.

Bella is SOOOOO cute, Carol!

Keep us updated Crystal!  Surgery may be within the month!  WOW!

I am working this morning then to the library to pick up the movies "The King and I" and "Anna and the King" so that Liv and I can watch them.  I tried to get them on Friday, but it was a wild goose chase to say the least.

Liv and I went to see "Coraline" (in 3D) on Saturday night.  We enjoyed it.  Then we picked up some Chinese to have at home and got a good night's sleep.

Last night, we went to a meeting at Pec Playhouse and have decided to jump in with both feet and help them get a middle school age "drama club" going.  Liv had a great time playing drama games with their high school aged group and she wants to pursue this venue.

Todd and the boys camped all weekend and David came home with a hole in his chin that I think should have been stitched when it happened.  His snowboard hit him in the chin and cut him all the way through his lower lip!  The cut is not very big (1/4 inch) but it DID go all the way through.  Todd could not decide if it needed a stitch when it happened, and they wound up applying first aid and going without.  By the time they got home, I was 95% sure that it would have been too late so I cleaned it out and applied a bandage.  It has started bleeding through, so today, I am going to pick up some butterfly bandages and hope for the best.  He will now have a "rugged scar" on his chin to help him pick up chicks (at least that what HE said.....).

Tomorrow, I am taking LIv to Madison to see the ENT specialist that fixed David up when it was necessary.  Liv has a lot of ear trouble so we are going to see if this doctor has any ideas to help her.

I am hoping to see you all in Elgin on Saturday.  I do not know if the whole family is coming or just me.  We will see, Todd was talking about having the first fire of the year if it gets warm like they predicted.....

Everyone have a lovely day and remember to be grateful for all your blessings.

Dawn we are going Sat, if you need a ride just let me know.
You have my #,
See u then

Gee, if I had known that I would not have let them do plastic surgery to make my two inch chin scar less noticable.  Did he have fun swishing water in his mouth and spewing it out through the wound?

Good morning Dave and IL. Dave good luck with you med terms, I sure you will do just fine,
For me to day not much going on, going to the Good will and looking for some jeans, all mine are to big now, Today all the clothers are 1/2 off,
other then that same ol same ol.
Hope everyone has a great day and see you Sat.

Good Morning -

I did not sleep well last night.  Just tossed and turned so I'm a bit on the tired side today.  We have visitors from India today at work.  Big day, full day. 

Weekend was good, not too busy.  Had some down time to just be lazy.  I love lazy days.

My foot surgery is on Thursday.  I'm trying to get everything in order at home since I know I will not feel up to doing much at least for a few days.  I found out we will have overnight company on Saturday.  As much as I love to see my grandkids and stepdaughter, I'm really not thrilled about this visit.  I know from my first foot surgery that I am not going to be up for company and to top it off, they want us to keep the kids Saturday night while they go out.  Well, a toddler running around is not going be fun.  If she wants to crawl up and snuggle with Nana that would be great but you can't keep this girl down.  LOL

Hope everyone has a blessed day!
Christina

I tend to rank children by the number of acres you could share with them and they would still be fun.  Not to many of them rank well in less than a quarter acre.

Good Morning everyone!

I haven't been around much lately, just been busy and addicted to Facebook...LOL

Things are good here. Tyler was very sick all weekend, started with a 102 fever on Thursday afternoon and pretty much stayed that way til yesterday.  Once it broke,  he was feeling much better, enough to go to school. lucky him huh?  lol

I went out on Saturday with an old and very dear friend of mine and we met up with a bunch of people we went to  high school with.  It was very fun and I will be going to church with her this Sunday too!  I am so glad that we reconnected, it's been too long.

Last Thursday morning I finally went to the Dr about the pain I was having in my shoulder for the last several months and he gave me a steriod shot right into it, since I can't use the strong anti inflamatories he wanted to give me.  Today it's feeling SO much better and I can actually move it in ways that I haven't been able to.  yay!

I am dealing with some "head issues" that I think I am getting under control.  it stinks.  I really wi**** would warm up and get nice out already!!  I want to putz around in my garden!

Well have a wonderful day all!

Not much going on with me today.  Drinking my Cafe D, taking my meds and vitamins, setting up a docs appointment and transportation for BP, watching the snow melt and thinking the balcony will be sittable in few minutes.

ciao,

I would so like to go to the gathering on Saturday but I have a shower at the same time..
Truthfully I should just send a gift for the shower and go to meet all of you. It is just down the street from where my son lives.  It would be so much fun.

If I get my car issuse settled I am coming up for the get together! New car and more problems then one with 100,000 miles on it. I want to go to sams club in naperville so I am hoping to be able to come. Working real hard on it.
