Good morning everyone
I do believe it's Thursday which means, VACATION time for me!! I have worked all night and my family is leaving town around 2pm today to head out east to Virgina and North Carolina. We are meeting up with some friends at a Great Wolf Lodge Hotel/indoor water park in Williamsburg, VA. We will spend the weekend there, then head to their house for a day or two in North Carolina. Can't wait to get away and have some fun with my family.
I even bought a size 12-14 swim suit that fits!! I can't believe last summer at this time, I was wearing a 24-26. Crazy what 6 months has done for me! Have a good weekend and everyone going to Holiday world, have a great time and ride some rides for me!!

Peace and Love to you all.

33 lbs lost prior to surgery!
I am so glad today has finally got here! It's my last day of work for ~6 weeks. Yay! Tomorrow, we'll head for Holiday World in the morning. Head home on Sunday. Do a grocrey shop, etc on Monday, then ta-da! Tusday morning will be here! I can't believe the date I have been longing for almost 2 years is really that close! just a little more patience......
I had a fun day yesterday. I had a short lunch with Gail. Short because of a darn meeting here at work. Then, Bill & I had dinner with Ellen and her dh Dana. We met ~6:30 and we didn't get home until close to 9. lol. It was probably close to 10 when they got home. It goes to show that we don't get to see each other nearly enough! And no..it's not just the girls gabbing. Dana and Bill do a pretty good job of keeping each other entertained as well. Bill is alot like me. If we are with someone who is talkative, we're more talkative. If we're around someone who is quiet...if all we get is yes/no or other one word replies to what we say, we give up and are quiet too. I think we've been really fortunate in the couples we've met through OH that the guy**** it off and gab just like us women do most of the time. Until OH, it seems like every couple we'd meet either Bill or I didn't really hit it off with one or both of them.
Anyhow..I think I'll blame me getting to bed past my usual bedtime on me being so darn tired today. I hit the snooze bar for ~45 minutes this morning!! I could lay down and take a nap right now! Bill has an eye appointment today so I'll be leaving ~2, so..not too bad all in all. Then we're going to try out a new mexican restaurant, El Dorado (21st & Shadeland) with Floyd & Brenda. After that, we'll be stopping by & picking up Lotus so she can spend the weekend with Brenda & Floyd's CJ. Scott..thank you so much for watching both of four-legged babies!
I hope you all have a good day today!

It's Thursday! Nothing exciting here. I work today and tomorrow at my main gig, and Saturday at Sears. Sunday is my day of rest. I am planning to go to church this week. I want to make an appointment to talk with my priest. I think I need some guidance, spiritually. I feel at times so empty, and at other times, ok. And then when I feel ok, I feel bad for not hurting, like something's wrong with me. It's a very confusing time. I had even thought about looking into having my tubal ligation reversed. But when Mike and I talked about it, I realized if I got pregnant now and had a boy, I wouldn't be happy. I believe that every child deserves a warm welcome into the world, to be wanted, and treasured. So if I ever get to the point I just really want to welcome another child, then I might consider it. It's not time now. It wouldn't be fair to the potential child, if I didn't truly want him.
hugs for everyone,...
Wow Linda, I do wish I could take your pain... then I maybe wouldnt have to feel my own right now...with my sister being gone... yes I have 4 more sisters but each one is different.. and I love each one differently..
My sons are different.. yep proof they are both boys but Scott is the remembering kind with a heart for people, he loves working with his brain, and his computer. Chad could charm the pants off.. sorry, a nun. He is a thinker who works well with his hands. Which one would I give up if I had to?? neither because neither is replaceable.. not even with another boy..
Today, I am actually going to clean the house... yesterday I went and saw the Dr about my dentures.. yep going to take the plunge.. I have been in so much pain for some rotten broken teeth that just arent worth saveing. Tomorrow... I am getting ready to go to Scotts because as soon as he gets home from work we are off to HOLIDAY WORLD!!
Be well all of my friends..have fun safe vacations and trips down to Holiday World.. gosh I really never expected to look so forward to going!!!

I am so jealous that you all get to go to Holiday World...I so wanted to go but I have Chicago Next weekend!

Linda Kay....My sister got dentures at 34! I have 2 root canals and 3 crowns, It sucks having bad teeth. Fortunately mine look okay from the outside. The inside is a work in progress.
Linda.....That is something you need to work out personally. With my scare this weekend, I thank My God everyday but couldn't imagine having another child if something would have happened to Tyler.
I need to get looking at our route to Chi-Town! LOL I picked up a little brown sweater to wear with my dress for Monte Carlo, I figured I would be cold and the dress is spaghetti straps.
I really need to lay back down for a nap. Bella has a horrible
cough ans was up from 3-7 am this morning...I went to bed at 1am. So I am exhausted! Tyler has my car at football practice. I made him get right back driving on Monday. i don't want him to be afraid. Got to get back up on that horse. last night "hey there Delilah" came on the radio last night at work. I made sure I couldn't here it. Delilah was named after that song. I am kind of worried about when Ty hears it. Hopefully it will be a little longer.
I work at 3:00 so i am gonna try to nap for a minute cause i have a terrible headache from lack of sleep.
Have a great day.....
