Jan;I am so sorry you are upset, I really don't blame you I have been in that position before. I feel so bad for not being there, you all are on my mind and in my heart. But, as you know my brother was coming from Texas to be here this week-end. I hadn't seen him for 17 years. Well, guess what, he got about 150 miles into the trip and his work called him back because of IKE. He lives near Dallas and it isn't even suppose to be that close to there but, his boss told him he didn't trust it and to come back. He manages an apartment complexes and his boss was afraid of the high winds. So, here I sit with tears streaming down my face because of the double whammy disappointment. Not only do I not see you all but not my brother either.
Please tell everyone I miss them and I am so SORRY I am not there. 
Hugs always!!!Lap RNY ~ 4/22/2003

How I wish David and I were able to be there with you and Joe along with Vesta and her grand daughter. As we discussed, we're teaching the 3rd & 4th grade Sunday School class this month and I just didn't feel right with asking someone to substitute for us since our first Sunday was just last week.
Anyways, it's a good thing we hadn't planned on going to the reunion because David's work made it a MANDATED that he and the other material managers come into work today to do inventory. Please continue to pray for my husband and his job situation. They have laid off probably 20 people since David started 10 months ago and it looks like he may be in the next bunch of employees who get laid off. We have his resume out there and are trusting the Lord to bring a job that we can raise our family on. We just have to keep our eyes on the Lord and trust what His Word says. It's not easy but He never said it would be!
Luke, my oldest, is life guarding for a Triathlon this morning from 6am to 12pm. Then he and Jake have to go help their Boy Scout Troop with the Hidden Glenn Art Festival from 1:30pm to 6:00pm. Hopefully, David will get out of work by 3 or so and he can go relieve Luke. Then Jake can come home with Luke to go to a birthday party for one of his friends. David doesn't think he'll get home until 9 or 10 tonight. He went it at 7am this morning. Like I said, please pray for my husband!
Today I'm going to finish up the laundry. I've also got to finish getting all the materials ready for class tomorrow morning. We really enjoyed last week. I hope the kids are getting as much out of it as we are! Then I'm hoping to pick up the living room. Gonna get Jake to vacuum and mop for me. I also still have that bunch of green beans I got at the FM with Bec. I really want to make them up for lunch after church tomorrow. I also need to make a run into Olathe for some tomatoes. We will see if I get everything done I'd like to.
Once again, Mama Jan, I'm so sorry the reunion didn't turn out. I will pray that the rain stops at least long enough for you and Joe to ride that trike back home! It's sprinkling here right now. We're suppose to get more heavy rains later today. I guess it's suppose to finally stop tomorrow!
The rest of the MO Peeps - have a GREAT and SAFE weekend.

Dear Auntie Jan and OH Peeps~
Lets pray for Dennis and his surgery, that it all went well...I hope Brenda posts soon to let us know how it went. Geez, I hate it when we dont get word-I wonder if she was posting from the motel or from the hospital? Also-lets pray for Susan-that she gets better fast. Poor thing!! What kind of infection? Jan-do you know? was it like a bite or something that became infected? I am praying for them, as well as for our new post-ops like Lori and Angy...and then our pre-ops. Bec, Jeanine-whomever else....We have someone (was it another Deb or Amy?) that was denied surgery (or Cor?) lets pray they can appeal and get approved! I was denied 4 times before I finally got a different insurance and got approved. Also-peeps, lets pray that Renee gets her approval next week...I KNOW She will-I HOPE she gets it the day I am there getting my hair fixed (if I can make it)...Oh...I forgot, Brenda Nutts hubby as well. I hope that he can get treatments and that he can get better!
Jan-Oh....I had tears in my eyes reading your post! YOU DIDNT DO ANYTHING WRONG!!! IT WAS NOT your planning! Its that something came up with everyone-I feel so bad. This would have happened EXACTLY like this IF I had planned it myself again this year! I still would have fallen and not been able to make the trip. Susan STILL would have ended up in the hospital, Sheila STILL would have NOT been able to trust her car and would have STILL been out of work for 3 weeks with no check....Barbara would have STILL been waiting to see her brother.....Honey-IT ALL would have happened!!! Im so sorry you feel bad-IF I could be ANYWHERE TODAY-I WOULD CHOOSE TO BE THERE WITH YOU GUYS-HONEST!!!!
Yesterday AND last night, were the worst pain I have ever been in. OMG! I couldnt function. Mike went to the track with the boys and I went to spend time with Megan and Stephanie-and guess what? All I could physically do-was rock back and forth, doubled over-bawling because I was hurting so bad. Something is so wrong with my tailbone. It keeps snagging on another pc of bone OR ?? and then it pops-and then it will feel better for a bit-and the whole thing starts all over. Jan-I would have most definitely had been there IF I had ANY kind of pain meds that were even touching this pain right now, but I dont. I couldnt even phatham a trip that far and NOT being able to enjoy you guys!!
I went to the ER AGAIN last night, about 10:30-I just couldnt take it anymore....Well, at 2 am, I STILL was sitting out there and decided that I was going home-I couldnt get comfortable no matter what, I was so tired and I just wanted to get to where I could lay down and get some heat and ice put on my tailbone and upper back and that knee.
I laid there and slept for 2 hours. Heat on my bac**** packs (the sheets) on both knees-slept until 4 am. Have been up ever since!!! I laid still though, hoping something would work. I cant comprehend this, I think I really did a bang up job this time. Crap!
Its gloomy here today. Dont think its raining right now-but we are suppose to get rain for quite awhile after it finally does start!
Well, I am going to wrap this up and get dressed. Its 11 am and I am still sitting here in my jammies. Not looking so hot today-if I do say so myself. My hair is in dissaray-I look like-well, Im not looking so hot boys and girls-LOL...I look like I have been rode hard and put away wet-so, maybe a nice hot shower will loosen my back up and I tell ya, I start hurting like I was yesterday-not only will I go back to the ER, but I WILL be seen before I have been there almost 4 hrs crying in pain-if you see on the news that some lady went nuts in the ER at Joplin-dont worry, its just me-
Jan-once again...PLEASE dont get discouraged. You DID a great job with your planning....I promise-IF I dont have much going on-I WILL do it next year-OR maybe we can get Hey look its Angie-Angie do it-she is central? She likes planning and such and maybe we could all meet in Springfield or something and all of us ride up there together-like a little convoy or something? Who knows-I just dont want ya to think YOU did anything wrong! Say hi to Vesta and her daughter. I was really looking forward to seeing her!! Give them hugs-Lana too....I think Jeanine was gonna try? I am praying that you have a good day...Love and Prayers to all-Janet
how are you feeling sweetie...please go ahead and get your first surgery scheduled so you can get to feeling better. I know you don't know it but female problems that are taken care of by surgery will eliminate a lot of lower back pain. then so will the tummy tuck. i know that both seem like to simple but im not kidding it really will help, i know you have a lot more than that wrong but every little bit helps ...please please get started doing something honey. ...
Jeanine didnt get here. sure wish she would have.

Sissy, just heard from other sissy in TX...just for a few seconds...she ask several times, "did I loose you?" then said "we are ok, just alot of tre---" So Im assuming she meant trees down. I tried calling right back and it goes to voice mail...so we know she is ok.
So how many came to the reunion all together?
