WHATS HAPPENING FOR FRIDAY
Dear Aunt Jan and OH Peeps~
TGIF.....I hope everyone has a good/great Friday! I dont have much time to post-have to get out of my "grubby" clothes and get ready to go to town to clerk today. Not looking forward to it, I am in the most pain I have been in-in a very very long time!
2 days in a row I have posted-is anyone in shock? LOL....I hope not. I even got the weekly weigh in done today for 3 weeks in a row-thats got to be a record of some sort of record, huh? Guess what I have been doing? I have been MAKING myself eat. I TRY to eat 3 times a day, but I rarely can get it all in! I took off those 2# that I had gained-and I am sure its because I am eating more. My goal is to get off of protein shakes all together. Im not holding my breath tho-I HATE food now, I hate to cook it, I hate to shop for it, just dont like it. IF I didnt have children at home-I wouldnt shop! Mike would have to...I am trying to change my attitude about food and all-but when I had my surgery-and I came home and introduced more food into my life-I just didnt care for any of it. Its almost like I know what made me so big-AND with all my co-mo's I have-that I am real scared of the weight coming back to me, since I cant do all the excercising that others can do because of my bones and joints. Does this make any sense? Anyway. Im trying. Thats all I can do-right? I am eating at least lunch and dinner, for the most part. Mike said he would help me when he can-when he is able to be around me-we havent had a whole lot of time together lately.
I think what you guys have planned for the reunion so far sounds great! I loved playing the Guess Who game last year-it was so much fun to see who guessed who for what fact, wasnt it? I think bringing gag gifts sounds fun too!!! We have played the White Elephant game with gag adult type gifts-and we laughed our rears off! I sure hope I can work it out to come. I want to soooo badly! Will see. Maybe I will be blessed with a weekend with my peeps!
My youngest daughter has stayed with my mom 2 nights in a row-she is going to download some pics for me today-and hopefully get them into my profile. I will post when she gets that done!!! You can all see some of the Grand Canyon pics of all of us and from our trip to Arizona.
**Auntie Jan-I had to laugh about you saying maybe I should get a turkey platter (since my plate is so full-LOL) I was thinking a cattle troft is more like it, huh? Im definitely ready for a break!
Oh-the idea about the video camera is awesome. I have one. I am going to do that! In fact, not in a boat, but we have to fish out the rest of the fish out of the pond, because we have to finish draining it-and we have about another 78-80 fish to get still-so I will take it fishing with us when we go down and yes, even tape the boys catching fish-thanks for the great idea. It made me cry though. I dont want him to die. I want to hold his hand and tell him to stay. I love dad so much-he has ALWAYS been more of a dad to me than even MY OWN dad-he calls me his sweet angel baby doll. He just makes me feel so loved and so special and I feel like I want to be there with him. I want to make his last days as sweet as they can be. I sit here at home and I think about dad and my heart wants to be in Arizona so badly. It just breaks my heart. Sorry, didnt mean to go on and on-as you can tell, saying goodbye to dad-is one of the hardest things I have had to do. If given the opportunity tomorrow-I would go back in a new york minute! The taping of the fishing, it will definitely bring a smile to his face-and lots of tears Im sure! Im just glad you had that idea.
On the Elephant Ears-goodness, 10 would be a blessing!! I Have the PERFECT place for them!!! I cant wait and thank you!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! I appreciate it ever so much! Love you for thinking of me.
I bet that they are going to clean your sinus cavity out-but thank goodness they found out why you do that!!!! Steroids were not good for me. They made me gain weight! I just want you to be okay. So-you dont have sleep apnea-its your sinus cavity keeping oxygen from your brain? How scary!!! I will be glad when thats fixed-we dont want to take ANY chances in losing you!!! Love you too much!!
**Bec-honey, I KNOW your test WILL BE OKAY! I know they will! I am so glad your baby is going to be home this weekend to give you love and hugs and keep you from thinking about those tests next week! God is great-and you are very blessed. We will ALL be lifting you up in prayer and you will be okay-you will.....Too many people praying and who love you sooooo much!!!! Im jelous though, I have to admit-because I would love to be there with you! I asked Deb to make sure and give you a special hug just from me-and I pray that your package gets to you BEFORE you go-so today or tomorrow-I sure hope it gets there! Keep your positive attitude and keep that beautiful smile on that beautiful face-it will be ALL OKAY!!!! Love you sweety!
**Tammy-Ammy-Im so sorry about your neice-good for you not taking that poor kid home like that. Geez, hospitals scare me anymore!!!! Im glad she is okay and hope they get her some meds that arent so scary! Please let me know what you find out about the reunion. Maybe we could meet in Springfield and ride down together or follow one another! Vesta lives in Willow Springs or close to it-you go through there, dont you? IF she is coming, maybe you could meet her there and ride with her? That would save some????? Love ya and take it easy and QUIT USING THE WORD FAT-DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME? Your volumptious.....(sp?) or CURVY.....OR chunky. NOT FAT~ I love the saying- "I DONT SKINNY DIP-I DO THE CHUNKY DUNK" Love ya girl.
**Brenda-I am so thankful that Dennis is going to be having the surgery. Im so glad that there was a way for you guys to do that. Thank God. Yes, your right-no matter what-IF Dennis wasnt here to enjoy the money-what good would it do? His life is worth more than a dollar amount. We will keep you in prayers!!! Hope you guys get at least one day to walk around and enjoy the beautiful place your going to!!! Take pics for us! Please know we will be lifting you in prayer! Love you.
**Deb D-Thanks again for being there for Bec. Dont forget to give her that hug from me and tell her how much I love her, ok? Your so awesome! Love you.
**Vesta-I love you so much for thinking of me......I will be okay. I always seem to bounce back, and I will this time too-
**Sheila-I hope they fix everything when they do the surgery so you dont have to mess with it again! You will be great. Who is going to be at the hospital with you? Love you and you will be in my prayers. hope someone will text me to let me know everything went okay so I can (and I WILL) post for you, ok? Love ya girl!
**Renee-I cant wait to get that hug in person. Your such an awesome friend and I cant wait to see you face to face-Love ya!
Well, guys, its noon and I have to get my face on and get dressed to get out of here. I hope everyone has a blessed day. I am going to call in a bit (when I get to town to use my moms phone) and try and get ahold of Angy.....AS always, your ALL in my thoughts and my prayers! Tell your loved ones you love em...Love you guys-Janet
Its been kind of a lala day, I woke up and it was pouring rain and wasnt feeling all that well anyway so I didnt walk today, I think Jan went later in the morning, I told Susan to wake me if she went but she didnt wake me, ggrrr lol This evening we had to go visit her day in the nursing home, the home had a family bbq so we went and had dinner with him, he so enjoyed that alot, they had it all outside and had music and games and stuff, it really was nice. Hopefully it wont be raining tomorrow I wanna get outside a bit and do a few things.

I Corinthians 15:57 - But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Well, it's offical, my oldest son Luke is 18 years old! He was so excited that he finally is able to register to vote. He filled out his application and faxed it into the election office. He's excited about getting to vote in this year's election!
Tonight we went to a wake. The COR, Dennis, of the troop David is Scout Master, his Dad passed away this week. The wake was tonight and the funeral is tomorrow. Dennis really wanted Luke to be there to help his son, Robert. Robert is the same age as Luke. They've been in same scout troop for 7 years. This was Robert's Grandpa and Robert is having a hard time dealing with his death. Dennis thought maybe Luke could help. We weren't sure if Luke would want to spend his 18th birthday at a wake. Actually, none of us had ever attended a wake. Anyways, Luke said yes he wanted to go. Then of course his friend, Brad, who is going to do his Eagle Project next weekend, he decided to go. Jake went too. So we all went to the wake. It was an interesting experience....with all those "Hail, Mary's", etc.
After the wake we went out to dinner. Luke chose Tequlia Harry's. I reminded him that we were having his birthday party tomorrow night and Dad was making his famous Nachos. Luke said that was okay, he still wanted Tequlia Harry's. We had a nice dinner, all of us including Brad.
I still can't believe he's 18!!
Jan - I'll keep praying for you. I hope the ENT can help you. Surely there's a way he can open up those nasal passages. Do you think you were born with that and it just has gotten worse with time? I hope you start getting some oxygen, I think if my oxygen dropped that low I would be more dingy than I am! lol! Honestly, I'm glad you're going to see some different doctors. Hopefully, they will be able to help you start getting some decent sleep and keep you from going to sleep while you're driving! I'm working on emailing you pics of those Jack Terry pictures. Actually, they are sitting on the floor right next to me. I need to just take the pictures and email them to you. They are really beautiful.
Bec - I would love to be your third
!! I was going to suggest it but didn't want to intrude on Jan and Janet!Don't worry about all the cleaning I'm doing. Remember, I'm also having Luke's Birthday party here tomorrow night. I got a lot done today. Only have to clean my room and bathroom tomorrow. Hurray! Can't wait to see you Monday morning. I'm praying that all your tests come back normal and you'll be cleared for surgery.
Janet - I will remember to give Bec your hug! I promise!
The rest of you wonderful MO Peeps - hope you all have a great weekend. It's suppose to be beautiful so get out enjoy the weather!
Debbie D.
