Good evening everyone....

Good evening everyone.....Sorry I haven't posted in the last couple days but I have read the post and in a hurry...I have been very busy at work and by the time I get home from work I am exhausted and hurting....then I might supper cooked and a load of laundry done, my daughter fed and bathed and finally relax around this time and fall asleep on the couch...the last two night fell asleep before taking my neurotin and I have paid forit...my pain in the morning is unbearable and then I get up and moving and on to work where it gets worse at times....I just say a silent prayer that He will get me through the day....I go to the neurologist on Tuesday in Springfield and my little sister is going with me....my parents are going to keep all four kids for us and we are going to have a sister day....my parents are giving me money for my birthday which is Sunday to buy new clothes with and I am excited because my sister is going help me find some "hip" clothes.....I told her I needed them because of my birthday I was really beginning to feel old, and my darling eight year old continues to remind me that I am hitting on "40's" door pretty hard....out of the mouths of babes....I am just glad that I have made it another year....especially since the doctor that I use to have told me I would be bed fast at the age of 35 if I did not doing something about my weight....Well that is when I made my final decision to for sure have the gastric bypass....I had just gotten married 9 months before he told me that and my little boy was only 6 years old....I wanted to see my little boy graduate from college get married and have children of his own....So here I am today 160 pounds lighter and a new baby to boot.....she is getting so big....at her doctor's appointment last week she is already weighing 16 pounds.....and she is 25 inches long....they just don't stay small for long..... Well I hope that everyone has tried to stay as cool as possible.....I keep each and everyone of you in my prayers....Have a blessed evening and may the grace of God shower over each and everyone of you and your families..... Kelli, my sister will be with me on Tuesday but we could sure meet somewhere for lunch if you would like....I would love to meet you finally....I am trying to make it to the next support group meeting next month...My hubby is off on Mondays and maybe he could keep the kids for me and I could come down to the meeting and bring my mom with me....Dr Scott's office called her today and all she needs is to be cleared by a pulmonolgist and then the will give her her date....I am so excited that she has decided to have this surgery....She is really being dedicated about doing protein and she has lost 30 pounds already...I told to keep on rockin that she has the right frame of mind goin on right now.... Elizabeth, sorry I did not email you back yet from work or the house been exhausted and have fallen asleep on the stinkin couch the last two nights without take my neurotin which was a huge mistake...not to mention at work we have had two groups of 300+ trainees the last two days....Today I was literally on my feet from the time I got in the door at work at 0600 until 1208....I am pooped....Jason had to go back into work and work nights so I have taken my medicine tonight and I going to pay our cell phone bills online and then I am off to snooze land.....Keep up the great work.....you are such and inspiration to everyone me especially......
