Six Things for the Weekend...

well since we do three things for each weekday..


morning gang... 100% humidity at 7 am in baltimore.... welcome to summer...

things I'm grateful for:

dogs let me sleep till 7
it's not raining
Star Trek  (the new movie it was GOOD)
lunch yesterday with Angie... guys see her soon or you won't recognize her!  she's lost 70 pounds in 8 weeks... looking GREAT.....
girl child broke up with her bf and didn't cry too much... (of course the date with the bf of the bf last night might have helped)
GAMING tonite!

Morning Nessa!!

I'm SO sorry I had to miss our lunch yesterday - car issues!!!!  GRRRR!!!  I hope you have a great weekend.  I'm at my brother's right now with KB - we have some errands to run, will probably have lunch out and I have a MILLION things to do - work, laundry, Dianne's potluck tomorrow, etc.

My gratefuls:

1.  That B GREW!!!  LOL!!!  He's such a little guy, but some clothes I bought him (size 7) didn't fit, so he's now proud to be in a size 8!!!!!  And that's at 10 yoa!  I'm lucky that I can still find clothes for him pretty cheaply.

2.  That Mom got off on her annual girls' trip with my Aunt and their cousin.  They're heading to SC to see some family and hit some tourist spots.  Mom deserves this away time SO much!!

3.  That K ACTUALLY found a pair of jean shorts that she likes and will wear!!  I've battled with this child for SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO long - she HATES jeans!!  Makes it really hard to find stuff for her to wear, ya know?

4.  That my car issues yesterday turned out to be non-existent!!!  Thank God!  In the a.m., my car kind of hesitated when I started it, and then it wouldn't go above 40 on 695!  Pep Boys tested, tested and retested and couldn't find anything and it didn't do it again, so they said maybe some dirt in the line or something!!  PHEW!!!!

Okay, that's more than 3, less than 6, but it's all I've got!!  Have a great weekend!

Good morning all! It's not going to be a good day for me at all: about 15 years ago I was in a car accident & obtained a lower back injury . About 5 years ago, I was told I  had arthritis in that area from the injury. It does not usually bother me, maybe an ache here & there. Last night, out of no where, I got a horrible pain, severe spasms, and couldnt barely move! I went to bed, & hubby said I moaned all night long.....at 3 am he woke me up & gave me 2 of his pills.  I just got out of bed { which took me about 15 munites!!!!!!} and my back is hurting worse, and now my right leg is tingling & going numb! Ugghhhhhh........I am thinking I may visit the local ER.......and all my plans arenow on hold!
I was shocked to open this page & see that Tia had graced us with her presence on a Saturday! That shocked me! {hugs Tia}
So.....6 things huh???????

1} I am grateful that I think we dont have to move! I love my home!
2} I am loving the dry, warm weather.......the rain had started to bring the pond out back into my yard!
3} I am grateful for Nicorette gum.......I have been so stressed & wanted to smoke, but I didnt! I chose another option.
4} I am grateful that my family is starting to follow in my healthy eating patterns........ sodas have become non existant in my home....all kool aid is sf, when protein shakes are made they actually drink them.........its nice to have the support, but also to know that they are making themselves healthier!
5} Friends! I love em all, the ones in my personal life, and the ones here! They have kept me from losing my sanity this week!
6} That God has brought me this far, and that I am making better choices in my life. I am not a bible beater, but my spirituality is important to me. I have called on my faith alot the last few weeks! My housing situation which seemed doomed has wokred itself out, my mother in laws breast cancer has been deemed not as serious as once thought.........prayer is awesome!

Well.......I guess I am going to get ready to head to the ER......everyone have a great weekend & be safe!

((( HEATHER )))

Awww, you poor thing!!!  The numbing/tingling sounds like a pinched nerve.  I hope the ER is able to give you some relief.

Keep us posted, please!!

And.......because you're not feeling well, I'll let your snarky little comment about me slide!!!  LOL!!

Hugs,

Tia

Tia.......
     That comment was said with love
  But seriously I have grown accustomed to you being a Monday thru Friday kinda girly!
I havent left yet to go to the ER, my daughter has my keys with her so I cant leave! Goofy kid borrowed my purse, but forgot to leave my keys! 
   yeah, I def think its a pinched nerve, it is driving me insane! I will let you know what I find out!
 

Flexeril, Lortab, a heating pad and an ice pack!!  I've had lower back issues since I was sixteen due to an injury.  I also have a herniated disc and degenerative disc disease.  Pre-op I didn't have to do much, if anything, to have a flare up.  If you are anything like me, having weight loss surgery will be your saving grace!  I've only had two small issues since 10/07/08, they haven't been severe, and they've resolved within a day or two.  Before, it would be severe and would take several weeks to months to resolve.  

Hope you get some relief soon!

I TOLD you, STOP swinging from those ropes in the bedroom, and your back will stop hurting!

Happy Saturday!

Today, I'm grateful...

1.  For SLEEP!  Slept several hours after work yesterday and then until 9:15 this morning.  I truly needed it!

2.  That even though I've been stalled for the past 2+ weeks per the scale, I seem to be losing inches.

3.  Size 10 jeans baby!!!

4.  That it's not a work day (even though I have to catch up on some work tomorrow).

5.  Fresh strawberries....LOVE this time of the year!

6.  That I'm not having to clean the house by myself today!

that is all...have a great weekend!

Tia & Heather......
   Ok, so heres what I found out. I have two herniated discs {apparently according to my records, they have been that way since my accident} and now they are compressing nerves which is causing my problems today. I almost wanted to say "well duh", but I think that was the medicine talking. Anyways......thanks to robaxin {muscle relaxer}& neurotin {non narcotic pain med} I am feeling no pain right now! I do however feel like I have been 420 friendly & drank a fifth of jack! My head is "cartoon-y" feeling! I thought non narcotic meant no goofy feelings?!?!?!?!?!? Well, thats a lie! I also have to call my orthopedic doc on Monday for a follow up.
Anyways.....thought I would update ya!
