WHATS HAPPENING SUNDAY
Man was it ever chilly when I got up Saturday morning. 40 degrees I was freeaing so I turned the heat on for about 15 minutes just to knock the chill out of he house. Sort of hated to do it but I couldn’t stop shaking lol and this was just 40 , what am I going to do this winter? I guess I need to go buy me some more sweat pants and shirts so I wont be so cold at home.
Enjoyed the sunny weather after it warmed up some and got some more yard work done. Did some clean up and started on cleaning out this one old shed on the property we are getting. Just trash that needs to be put out or burned .
We will be pulling up the carpets in the house as soon as we sign the papers on it so we can see what we need to do to the floor. I think we have decided to fix it up some and rent it out. Will be a quest tho to find the right person , someone that is mature and doesn’t party all night and would prefer a non smoker if we get it all fixed up would prefer not to have smoke in there again. I have a lady in mind but it will probably be spring before we have it ready.
Just what we need another project lol We were running out of things to do I think. Since we are still working on the trailer too. But it is really hard to do stuff to it when it is occupied. I am trying to help them get their finances in order so they can start saving money to get their own place , lol don’t think they are really interested too much. This winter may change their minds don’t know how easy it will be to keep the trailer warm. I don’t want them to leave until they are ready but don’t want them to stay forever either. They need to be on their own. And not depending on free rent and stuff.
I love helping people but want them to be making an effort to do for themselves. I know it isnt easy with him not making much but they do waste some too. But that is kids for you they just need to learn to save.
So no one still knows about Amber? Why hasn’t there been any post about her? Someone needs to tell us something. Even if it is we don’t know…
Today we are going to go to War Eagle, as long as we have lived up here we have never gone , well I have decided that I am thru just sitting and waiting for something to happen. If I want to go I am going to go. We will be meeting my oldest daughter over there. Since she lives in
TRACI: so when do you start your iron infusions? Once when I was pregnant with my last baby I got anemic and I was taking huge iron pills daily plus an iron shot 2 xs a week they never could get me past the anemic stage till after she was born. They figured she was taking all she needed and more. But she was ok .
Hope you get to feeling better soon.
BRENDA: yeah was cold over here too. But I did turn on the heater for about 15 mins just long enough to warm the house up some.
We are all looking forward to seeing you and Tammy Monday.
TINA: sounds like you have some big time partying to do lol two of them in two days wow what a party animal. Don’t get lost in the maze out there.
It really sounds like loads of fun.
Where in Clever is this farm my sister, Sugar lives in Clever.
I hope we see you at the meeting on Monday night.
WELL HUGS AND BLESSINGS EVERYONE SEE YOU ALL LATER JAN

Hi Jan and MO Peeps~ Well, its almost 2:30 and I cant fall asleep again. Last night, after I got done at work (after books etc-it was after 11 pm, then stopped to get gas and Food 4 Less) so-by the time I got home, I was beat-but my back hurt so bad, that I didnt fall asleep until after 4:30 and my phone started ringing at 7 am prompt. All my kids were calling-to see if I was going to meet them for some garage saling with them and their grandmas and then Steph stayed at a friends and she was calling to say good morning and asked me to bring her some fresh clothes when I picked her up from work-and then Mike texting me from the woods were he was hunting. Finally just turned it off at 8 and went back to sleep until 9....I just couldnt stay awake. Aaron had adjusted my back last night-and I had felt like a rib or two or three (LOL) were out of place because every time I took a breath-it hurt. So, the back AND the front both hurt. He adjusted it 2 more times this morning and then Mike once-and finally, when Mike did it-I felt it actually go back into place. By this time, I was just bawling from the pain and I took an extra pill to try and make it bearable. On top of a full flexiril-and I fell asleep at work-LOL... In the big lazy boy type chair in the commons area-with the work phone on my chest-Thank goodness my dad is the manager!!! My ex-MIL, Jan, (the step MIL, I guess-but I really really like her-I dont like the biological ex MIL) ok-so anyway, she is running us ragged with all of her shopping! Wow-I dont know where she gets the energy, she is twice my age-and the only person I know with MORE energy than her-is Jon!! So, I have been spending all my time with them and running before going to work and so on-and I am just beat! I got most laundry caught up during the week-Thurs I think-so I will have some catch up to do tomorrow-and then I swear, when I am at work-all the men in this house-dont understand what it means to clean up after themselves! I told them tonite that IF I EVER come home to the house like it was tonite ever again, I would never cook for them or clean ever again! I was so angry! It reminded me of a college dorm room or a guys frat house!! YUCK. So, I HAD to clean before I could even sit down, I cant stand it when the house is messy. So, I have some housekeeping, then to town to spend with the family-and I said I would watch the office for a couple of hours while they go to brunch. My dad got a call from Mindy today (she is the other clerk at work) and she told my dad that she wouldnt have the money to come back home until Tues....What the crap? So, Monday is up in the air AGAIN....I may try to go in in the morning or something. Will see. Dad doesnt want me to miss my group, but Mondays are the days that the owner comes and dad is usually running him to Tulsa or going somewhere getting furniture and or supplies etc. So, will see. Mom could do it, but she is has a doctors appt and such. I will keep you posted. It is so windy here right now-that I am listening to the wind blow all the stuff on the porch around and I just heard the trash bins fall over! They have trash in them too-so its not like they are sitting there empty! Mike wont be hunting tomorrow morning if it stays this windy! Well, I had a pretty big WOW moment this morning. Jan, my ex MIL-she bought me some capris at a sale Friday morning, sz 18 and then some size 16. They all fit. The 16 I can get all the way up, but cant zip them without laying on the bed. Too tight, but I got them up-and I did with all of them, so I know its true!! YAY. So-the 18s I have-all but one fit good-even a little loose-so thats good and I was so excited. She bought me a really beautiful dress-just like one I had in my largest size-at the same sale, and its a L, but is a little tight across the chest-which is ok-I can wear a tank under it. So, that was really awesome for me! Well, I guess I am going to get this done and try to get to sleep. I have to go through some stuff tomorrow for Tammy when she gets here-and see what I can find-and then get some things organized. As the past couple of days would have it-it looks like there will be no rest for the wicked for a couple more days.... Please say some prayers that all my results from my ultrasound come back okay. Since I didnt get to talk to them on Friday-I am hoping that I get the results Monday. I am not worried about it, I just dont want to have to hassle with trying to find someone here who can scope me. Just want that part of me to be okay right now. Have too much to do to be down, you know? **Jan-I know exactly what your saying about being cold. I get chilled right to the bone sometimes and it reminds me of being stuck out in the cold up in Minnesota where I grew up!! I cant warm up sometimes for hours~ I know for Christmas, I am asking for one of those wraps or individual electric blanket that I can wrap up in and watch tv or whatever! I also am asking for thermals and slippers!!! LOL~ Good luck with the new place. Sounds like you will be able to stay busy even when its gets colder outside and you cant do as much planting! Hope to see you Monday night. Can you bring the molds for the stepping stones with you? We are going to be making some for Christmas presents-and so I need time-LOL....I would appreciate it.
**Tammy-Ammy and Brenda-Have a safe trip and take it easy. Call me when you get to Mels house and MAYBE I can sneak away for a bit and see you since I dont know what Monday is going to bring yet. Thanks! To everyone else-needing prayer or feeling sick or in the hospital etc-I am praying for all of you. Take care, and as always, your in my thoughts and prayers. Janet

Good Morning Folks.... Had hoped to sleep in a bit this morning but I guess we don't always get what we want! Thought I would get on and drop a line or two before I start packing and getting around to head out for Mels..I meant to be most of the way packed by now but that didn't happen either..... Had me a lil wow moment Friday....I bought 5 shirts and a pair of slacks for myself at a yardsale....NEVER happened before....Not very many larger size women put their clothes in the yard sales....Seems they are so expensive we have to wear them till we cant wear them anymore lol lol...And 2 of them were actually dress type tops!!! I normally wear colored T-shirts since they are cheaper....So it will be cool to wear something other than T-shirts for a change.... The lady I bought them off of live near me and while we were talking she told me she too was going to have weight loss surgery...I think she is going for the band...I told her about the OH site and she said as soon as they got their new computer set up and running she would be dropping by to check us out...Her name is also Tammy lol lol....Our board is going to be full of Tammys soon lol lol.... Didn't post on Janets wieght loss post but wanted to share my exciting news while I'm posting!!!I am down aprox 137lbs now....ONLY 13 MORE POUNDS TILL I'M DOWN 150LBS........YEEEEEEEEHAWWWWWWWW!!!!! Im tickled PINK!!!!Lmbo! I went last Tuesday and got my hair cut and styled...First time in years and years!!! Everyone likes it except Joe...He likes it ok but I got it all cut off and he don't like that part....But the next day before work I got up and fixed it and put on make up and they all about crapped their pants lol lol....I had went plain and hair on top of my head for so long we all forgot I could even look decent lmbo!!!! This week I have gotten several comments at work and from some of my friends...AND IT FEEL FANTASTIC!!!!! I have been feeling alot better since the weight has been coming off but this week I have felt fantastic and my self asteem is way up there! I still have not heard anything from my Angeletts mother.... I have called aprox 4 times and keep getting voice mail but no return phone calls.....EVERYONE PLEASE PRAY SHE (Amber) IS DOING WELL!! I hope it's just us missing each other or something and not something wrong....She had surgery Friday so hopefully she will get out of the hospital Monday or Tues and call me herself....I was thinking she had it done at St.louis so Susan is going to check today and see if she is in De Paul where she is at and is suppose to let me know and let her know I'm trying to check on her... Speaking of Susan....Please pray for her as well...I hope so much that once they are done with her next week she can get back on her feet and start feeling better again...The doctor said he thinks all her vomiting was from her Gaul bladder...something about the bile being somewhere it didn't need to be...I guess maybe going in her stomach....But hopefully Wed Dr.Scott will get the surgery done and she will feel better soon! I haven't been on alot lately with working and all so I would like to say CONGRATS to all our new loosers!!! I am so happy for you all and hope that you all have as wonderful adventure with your weight loss as I have!!! I wish the same for all those who are soon to be loosers as well....
