Tuesday

Good morning everyone! Looking forward to another day of packing boxes and lugging stuff around.  Amazing how you never realize just how much junk you have until you move.  Need to get the lawn mowed today, too for the yard sale Saturday, and then that afternoon my Father in Law & family are coming down to see us.  Busy busy busy. I wish the time for plastics was here for me.  But I want to have at least one more baby, and might as well get that done first (though I'm not in a huge rush, will prolly be another year before we start to try).  Plus I have about  40 pounds til goal.  Sure seems hard to get these last 40 off.  Good thing about moving is my best friend is a great motivator for healthy eating and exercise.  We'll be able to help each other out. Hope everyone has a great day- the weather is nice, so I'm heading out for a run.

Hi all...how is everyone today? I'm sooo excited...today I'm officially in the single digits (days til my surgery)...time is kind of dragging along, but I suppose it WILL get here EVENTUALLY!!!  I'm at work today, hubby (who normally works day shift) traded and is working this evening instead so my daughter had a friend over last night and she is going home today around 1pm, then dd is going home with my grandma for a bit when hubby has to leave for work, which means after work i have to drive down and get her (about 5 min from my house)...not bad...then when we get home I've got to fix something for her for dinner and I'm going to take a nap! I'm really tired today...I went to bed last night at 9:30pm, but COULD NOT get to sleep, finally last saw the clock at midnight anyhow, I'm off to begin my day...hope you all have a wonderful TUESDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hugs, jen

Hello all! Happy Tuesday. My poor hubby is having alot of sickness lately. The doctor thought it might be reflux or his gall bladder. The protonix pills he gave him for reflux don't seem to be working at all, so he has to call the doctor back today. I hope they just go forward and check out the gall bladder now.  I am taking our dogs into to Petco tonight for pet photography. That should be interesting and fun. I hope they turn out well.  Linda Vicory

Hi Everyone-  the mulch queen is gonna mulch her flower beds today!My grandson is gonna do the heavy lifting ( he wants $$ for school stuff & fun) so we went & bought 50- 2cu. ft bags yeasturday, plus the paver stones to finish our patio & walkway, and an ornate iron archway that I saw in Menards when they first got it in and wanted- but too much $$-we got it for $70.00  total off on sale!!! I was doing the in the store & singing "happy belated Anniversary  to me"-hee~heeMy hubby just shook his head and said "after 42 yrs. she's still a kid". gotta love it!! When they got it down, it was the last one & broken, so they called the northside store, and we got one there for the same price. (It was $20.00 cheaper cause it was the floor model.) How's that for bargian shopping!! Vicki,  Time to see an updated photo on here girl, so I can recognize you!! it has been so long and I won't be at the Clothing Exchange, so need to see that "new you" on here or I just might pass you by wiout knowing!!! That would be a great gift to give yourself/us to celebrate 6 months, kind of like what Linda V. does to celebrate.  Darrah, Honey, I sure can relate- my daughter had boxes, bags, stuff to give away/garage sale, you name it everywhere- so don't feel bad. You'll get thru this- have your hubby mow, and you concentrate on what needs to be done next in line!I am going to call you later today- love ya's!! I gotta go get my sunscreen on and get started, so have a great day everyone! (((hugs))) Ellen

hello everyone!  How is everyone doing. I am looking forward to the clothes exchange so I can meet everyone finally.  Right now I am waiting on approval with insurance. I received an email friday telling me they just sent it in. Its only been 3 business days but I can't wait anymore. I am praying for a fast approval. I have Blue Cross Blue Shield and I heard they are good from alot of people so here is hoping.  Talk to you all later  Robin

I'm hoping your approval is quick for you...I know so how you feel right now...mine took about 12 days so hopefully yours will be quick too :)  I am having surgery on the 2nd, but I'm going to try my best to come to the clothing exchange if just for a little while on that Saturday (provided I'm released that day) hugs, Jen

Wooohooo yaay me !! I've got me a good fun sinus/upper respiratory infection!!!!! :P the doc said he is surprised i am not having more problems asthma wise then I am because he heard very little airway movement in my lower lungs. Soo I got me an antibiotic shot but theyre trying to hold off on the steroids because that would ultimately delay my surgery. I'm trying to be positive but dang it I just want this cycle to end!! I just want to be healthy. I'm just curious with surgery only 8 days away exactly when do i notify them of this ?? I have my preop testing on thursday, so do i jus hope and pray its done by then and if it's not contact the surgeons office??
