Sunday Roll Call

Good Morning.

It is the Sunday before Thanksgiving. I donot have to cook for this coming Holiday, since Monica has taken this over. As well as Xmas. She has done it for the last few years. It is the passing on of the traditions, so to speak.

We spent yesterday with Monica, Scott and Morgan in Princeton, at a train and toy show. Then, at a German Christmas Market. It was a nice day.

Today, I need to finish decorating the house, laundry, making a roast for dinner, and a few other things.

What are you doing?

Have a great day,

HUGS, LISA

Hello everyone

I got all my Christmas decorations up outside yesterday. It was fun but it was a lot of work. It took me several hours. I was able to hang all of my light with no injuries...yeah!!!!! I did have to stop and buy extention cords. So everything is up except for the tree...I'm waiting for the Black Friday sales.

Then I was surprised to get a phone call from step brother. We had a three-way with my grandma and then my uncle hopped on to talk. I haven't talked to them since my dad died. I figured they were on my sister's side. In fact I was hesitant to talk to my brother because I thought he was going to try to get me to talk to my sister. But as it turned out there has been a drama unfolding while I was incommunicato. It turns out, according, to my grandma there was a will my dad had drawn up including all three of us. But when my dad moved back to Illinois and got sicker. My sister talked him into giving her power of attorney. My grandma thinks a new will must have been drawn up giving her everything. I'm not planning on fighting her in court...she can have it all. My brother confronted her about the will and she call him greedy (talk about the pot calling the kettle black). My grandma called her to try to talk to her and she called my 90 year old grandma an asshole and hung up on her!!! So she traded her whole family for some money. And how long will that money last??? She has got to be one of the most immoral people I have ever known. I can't believe we have the same blood pumping through our veins. Oh and this isn't that important because I don't care what she thinks of me but it shows how petty she is....my brother told me she used to talk about how worthless and useless I am and what low-life I am....ME??? I am useless and worthless....I'm not the one sitting on welfare for 20 years. I am the low life??? She effectively spit on her own family for money and is back together with her boyfriend who molested her daughter!!!! Well it's good to know that my family actually feels the same as I do. I really did feel like I stood alone against my sister.

Well enough about my family drama....today I am doing laundry and relaxing. I am looking forward to the week ahead...I only have to work Monday and Tuesday....then I am off the rest of the week!!!!

Hope you all enjoy your Sunday...see ya.

Good Morning. 

I have a lot of work to do today.  I have an assignment due for class (only 2 more weeks)!, grocery shopping for T-day, return to Old Navy, flu shots, cleaing (getting the whole family in on this one), and hopefully putting up the Christmas lights.  No tree until after Thanksgiving-per my husband.  Besides we really do not have the room to put it up before Thanksgiving because of the family coming over on T-day.

Crystal, you did not get to where you are by being useless.  Just remember you know who you are and what you have done.  You can sleep at night!

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Crystal, You do not need a sister like that. I am glad that you are talking to your family, and you can hold your head up high. Look what you got. A daughter that is a college grad, a great SIL, a great job, a great new house, and besides that, a whole new you!
Whatever you have and going to get, you totally deserve.

Wow.  I bet it feels good to know your family is really on your side, even though you you know you were the "right" one all along.  It still feels good.  I don't know you too well but "low life" was not a term I would have used to descibe you! 

I'm waiting till next weekend to put anything up.  Luckily I live in an apartment so I just have inside decorating to do.

Wasn't it a *****illy out there?!

I did some light housework today and put a pork roast in the slow cooker.  Other than that I think I am going to just chill out!  It's a little cold today!  For me anyway.  It makes me hurt :(

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend!

Hello all. I haven't been on for a couple of weeks due to being sick. I have had one heck of a cold. It has really kicked my butt! I have been down and in bed except for when I have gone to work. Then Tuesday night I end up in the emergency room with severe stomach pain. Turns out that I have a hernia that was being sqeezed by all the coughing that I have been doing. Now I have to see a surgeon to find out what they want to do about the hernia. I was really hoping to save my vacation time at work for WLS. Now I am not sure if that is an option. I haven't been able to get to the informational session yet, so I don't know if the WLS surgeon can do the hernia surgery at the same time or not. I probably won't be able to make an informational session until spring now. I am frustrated with all of this. I am going to talk with the surgeon here on the 28th and let him know what I am wanting to do with the WLS. I haven't told work yet what my plans are as far as having bypass surgery. I don't know how understanding they will be. I wish that there was someone closer to home that could do the WLS. That way I could probably do something before spring. I am worried about driving into the suburbs during the winter.

On to other news. I am fixing Thanksgiving dinner this year as usual. We will be having a lot of food. I think that we will have left-overs for weeks. I want to start decorating for Christmas already and even bought a Christmas tree on Saturday.

As far as family goes, I am happy for you that your family feels the same way that you do. What is important is how you feel about yourself. It is between God and you how you live your life.

I don't know if this is normal or not, but I have been picturing myself doing things that I cannot do with all of this extra weight. I have never been a runner, but I even picture myself out running. I picture myself sitting on the floor playing with my kids (all seven of them) Some of the other things are a little too personal to mention here at this time.

Well, I had better get off of here for now. I need to get some more sleep so that I am able to function at work tomorrow. Love to all!
