Thursday coffee thread

Good morning everyone.  I am having regular with cinnamon bun creamer.  On my way to work. I do not have a question today.  I would like to list my thanks.  Thanks to my family for being with me and putting up with my many moods.....Thanks to you guys for being here when I need to rant or ask questions.....Thanks for having a job and being able to support my family......Thanks for the opportunity at this healthy life yet I need to pray for acceptance of my body because I am not happy with it...........Thanks for healthy children.....So many I do not know if I could list them all but these are at the top right now.....I also pray for those people in Haiti that is an awful disaster............Have a nice chilly day everyone....Stay safe!

Good morning Danielle and all who follow.
I'm down at my son and DIL's right now helping care for Joshua.  The new parents are exhausted!  I'm so glad to be able to do my part and come running when they ask for me!  I took the night shift last night so the kids could get a full night's sleep again for a change.  Josh was really good and right after his 2:30 feeding went back to sleep.  Looks like he's going to be up for a while now.  He's wide eyed and bushy tailed and cooing away next to me on the couch.  He has begun smiling with a purpose now.  A little crabby tho.  Son has a touch of the stomach/intestinal flu and is staying home again today.  A teacher can't be running to the bathroom every few minutes like an office worker can!  I love being able to help the kids out, and spend time with Josh.  He's such a wonderful gift...

The side by side quad was delivered yesterday, and hubby was out making tons of tracks on our property.  He says it's so much fun...  I'm glad he's enjoying it.  I told him, if we got the 4x4, when the time comes, if I decide to have a tt, I don't want any grief.  He said no problem, so we struck the deal.  We'll see if I decide to be so vain, but as of right now, I'm thinking I will be.  I really hate this hanging skin.

Catch ya all later.  Gotta let 'Frank' the dog out.  Gram's are good for all the kids!

Oh, Jan.  I haven't had a full night's sleep since May 4th...the day of my hubby's stroke!  I KNOW your son and DIL are appreciating it!  It's hard for me to not get up with him because I'm breastfeeding (and I hate pumping!), but since he's started on solids, I've been giving him a bottle of formula at bedtime so DH can put him to bed, if needed.  While I'm still up with him once or twice during the night to feed him, I'm thinking about either having my MIL come here for a night or letting Dub spend the night at their house (doubt I could actually do that, but I don't think I'd sleep all night if he were here, either).  Fortunately, I don't have to get up and go to work, but I can tell the sleep deprivation is really catching up to me.  My hubby does get up with him on the weekends and I do get to sleep in or get a nap on those days.  So that helps!  I'm saying THANKS to you for your son and DIL!!  

Thanks for the wake-up about not being vain Sally.  I think for me it's partly vanity, but like you said, it will finish the journey.  Probably in a year from now I'll be looking for a good surgeon.  Since GM screwed us retirees on our health care, I don't know what my new Blue Cross will pay if anything, but hubby got the 4x4...  :)
Coffee finally right now.
I forgot to list my thanks.  I'm thankful for my new found good health and stamina.  My A1C was 6.2 this time.  I've taken myself off of all my diabetes medications for the last three months and I'm doing really well.  I'm so proud of my new health.  Sounds weird to probably most people, but us WLS people truly understand what a miracle this surgery can be for us.  Thankful for family and friends and the support offered here on OH.

Hey Everyone!

Just popping in here.. Drinking my vanilla coffee with creamer and a side of Crystal Light here.. Had some peanut butter muffins for breakfast this morning.

I am a bit more busier now that we have 3 placements instead of 1. It is definately an adjustment. But I like that they have playmates. It makes it a bit easier. I am hoping to be able to snag a shower today too. I managed to get one in yesterday.

I totally forgot yesterday was my 5 year surgiversary until about 730 last night. I thought about it on Monday but with everything going on it completely vanished in my mind.

So that makes me thankful that I had this surgery and changed my life.. I am glad that I have changed my health for the better and although I have gained some weight back I have maintained a weight loss of over 100 pounds... I am also thankful to all of my OH and WLS friends that I have made throughout this journey. I appreciate every one of you!

Congratulations on your Surgiversary ! !   5 years woo hoo.  Just think how hard it would be to keep up with those 3 without it !  

Happy Surgiversary, Suzanne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Surgiversary!!!!

Good morning all!

Pretty tired this morning.  Lots of stuff on my plate so it'll be a busy day for sure.  I enjoyed another of Kristy's Vanilla Caramel Tea this morning on my drive in to work.  Yum!

Off to get some work done...
