3 THINGS FOR MONDAY!

Good morning!!  I hope this week goes by quickly, but if we don't have any hearings scheduled (and we don't as of yet), it can go pretty slowly!  Crossing my fingers!!!  I'm tired this a.m.  After typing for most of the day, I picked K up because my brother's a/c died yesterday and he and B were going to share the room with the a/c, so K spent the night with us.  My bed is plenty big enough for me and Happy, but add in a squirmy 13 year old who doesn't know how to lie still, and it was an up/down night for me!  Poor Happy!  She must've felt like a puppy sandwich, and to top it off, she had puppymares, too!!  Sheesh!!

Today, I'm grateful for:

1.  As Darla so graciously posted for me yesterday, I celebrated my 4th surgiversary!  Where DOES the time go?  It's funny - I'm proud of the accomplishments I've achieved thus far, -100+ pounds, yet I still, at times, feel like a failure because I haven't reached my goal and still have a long way to go!  However, when I achieve small big things - sitting comfortably in any type of chair, walking up steps without stopping, knowing that I'm off all pre-op meds, it really hits home!  As I've said, I have been very fortunate to have a wonderful family and an equally wonderful group of non-wls friends, but the friends I've made here have extra special meaning to me.  I'm very lucky to have this board, and I'm glad I found it and have worked as hard as I have to make it a cohesive, supportive group.  Thank YOU for all that you do for me!!

2.  We had a great time at Lisa's PC party on Saturday!!  Debbie and Boxer Heather made the ride go quickly and so much fun!  I enjoyed the outlets and LOVED seeing Lisa again and feeling the love and warmth of her beautiful home!  Her grandbabies are gorgeous, too, and they all seem to realize how lucky they are to be with Lisa and Larry!

3.  I enjoyed my dinner and movie with Darla, Kathy and Nicole on Friday.  Although I wasn't enamored of the movie, "Funny People," it did have some hilarious moments.  LOTS of awful language, some none too subtle innuendos and a lot of "bathroom" humor.  But still - time with my girls is what it's all about!

I hope everyone has a great day!

Hugs,

Tia

That's Fantastic Danielle you are doing great!   It is wonderful to have a great relationship woth your teenage girls that is usually so hard to come by.

Good morning Tia,

Happy 4th Surgiversary!!  Did you treat yourself to something special?
I hope your week goes fast... I need mine to fly by too.
So glad to read that you had a great weekend despite of being so busy yesterday.

Rocky has puppymares too and sometimes it is hilarious to see him growl and bark in his sleep.  lol

Today I am grateful for:

1.  That Big & Little Gino are feeling a little better today.  I told Gino to take a sick day but he refused to left to work.

2.  The sunshine we have today it is a BEAUTIFUL Day!!!!

3.  All the sweet things my husband does for me.  

Have a wonderful day everyone. 

Morning Cira!!!

Thank you!!  I didn't really do anything special for myself - usually, if I want something, and I have the money and it's not too outrageously expensive, I'll buy it for myself.  I did spend time with friends over the weekend, so yes, in a way, I DID do something special for myself. 

I'm glad the boys are feeling better.  I completely understand that BG doesn't want to chance it - hopefully, he'll continue to feel better and won't have a relapse.

Have a wonderful day and I'll try to catch up with you later!

BTW, Darla texted me that she wasn't going into work.  Has to take her Dad to a routine eye doctor appointment and then she was going car shopping.  UGH!  I don't envy her that!  So if you don't see or here from her, that's why.

LY,

T

Tia,

Even if you didn't do anything special for yourself the great thing is that you spent time with some WONDERFUL OH ladies this weekend.  That is special in itself. 

Car shopping man oh man I wonder what is she getting?

Have a great day sweetie.

Hugs,
