WHATS HAPPENING MONDAY
Good Afternoon Mama Jan & MO Peeps!
Wow, what a busy day I've had! DH and I got up and around relatively early and we went into Olathe. Dropped off all the Operation Christmas Child Boxes our church had donated. Went and go some information for the kids' health insurance as well as for David. COBRA is just so expensive. Thankfully, the boys are healthy so the BC/BS individual PPO is a great deal. We're thinking, since David's been sick, that we will keep him on individual coverage thru COBRA as well as keep the family dental. The cost a month will be around $472 per month. That's better than the $812 a month it would cost if we all went thru COBRA. However, I think it's well worth the cost. I know we could count off the COBRA premiums on our taxes, does anyone know whether you can for individual policies? Gonna have to find that out.
We then went to the new Mexican Restaurant in town. Had a buy one get one free coupon. I thought it was really good, dh's tummy has been upset because of the antibiotics. So he just boxed his up and the boys will eat it. I'm going to have my 1/2 tomorrow for lunch. I'm subbing for an elementary school in Edgerton. 1/2 day Reading and 1/2 day of kindergarten.
Then we went to the Dollar General. I bought 3 huge tubs. Then off to Price Chopper. They have their boneless pork loins 1.99 a lb. Bought 2 huge ones. Had the butcher slice one and left the other one whole. DH will grill the whole one tomorrow. I'm bring that along with my baked beans on Wednesday.
Got home and freezer packed the sliced pork loins. Then DH and I got busy on our closet. I have a bucket and 1/2 of clothes to bring to the clothing exchange on Wednesday. Alot of size 14 capris as well as quite a few of size 12 capris and slacks, tops, etc. I also have six pair of Lee men's jeans size 36x32. I'm thinking maybe someone's husband or son could use them.
Jan - Yes, I am feeling a LOT better! I only have 3 more days of the iron pills left. It's taken almost 4 weeks for it to start to work. I am so thankful for that! I've packed those 4 pair of shoes I emailed you about. Do you want me to bring the Jack Terry prints or not? Just let me know.
Tell Joe congrats on getting his deer!! DH really wants to go deer hunting. Hopefully, he will be completely well next week and he can go. He is doing a lot better, his cough is almost gone. Now if he can finish his antibiotics, his tummy should feel better. Can't wait to see you on Wednesday!
We got the tile for our kitchen back splash last Friday. My stepson, Josh, is suppose to come out this weekend and install it. I just want it done BEFORE Thanksgiving!
Sugar - Where are you girl!? You must be really busy today. Can't wait to see you on Wednesday as well!
Bec - Hey, you were up with the chickens this morning, weren't you! Of course, you are an early riser. I've been sleeping in later since dh has been home. I guess you finished up the surprises for the girls? I'm sure everyone will love them! Can't wait to see you too!
Janet - I'll be praying extra hard that both your boys feel better by tomorrow! Maybe it's just a 24 hour viral thing. I really would love to see you on Wednesday too! (((Janet)))
Peggy - You're a just a funny lady! You had me worried with that post...lol! Thank you so much for opening up your home to all of us. Can't wait to meet you! I may try and be there around 10am since that is when the other girls are planning on being there. Don't want to be the last one there!
Barbara S - Tell your dh and boys congrats on getting their deer! That is GREAT! Hope you took some pics, need to post them so we can all see them. Can't wait to see you on Wednesday!
Deb(Pooh) - My dh and boys love deer meat, especially, the loins. I really can't eat it unless it's in stew or chili. I used to LOVE mushrooms, however, about 10 years ago I cooked a big batch of mushrooms my Dad had picked...can't remember the name of them (maybe Murell?...we all ate them but within two bites I got violently ill. Threw up all night. Doctor told me I had developed an allergy to them. I can eat button mushrooms and portebella. Just not those wild ones. But I do remember the days...lol
Vesta - Your puppy is a baby doll! I know how precious those little dogs can be. Yes, I gotta make sure David get his flu shot and his pneumonia shot. First, I need to call his old doctor and make sure he's never gotten one. DH isn't sure whether he's had one or not.
Well, I guess that's it for today. I'm going to lay down and relax for an hour or so. I'm making chicken fajitas for dinner. Something quick and easy because we have our boy scout meeting tonight. We haven't been there in two weeks because dh has been so sick. They're suppose to go on a cam pout this weekend. I told DH I really don't think he should be out there sleeping on the cold ground just yet. Plus Luke has Mr. GEHS Saturday night. DH missed it last year too because of a cam pout. Plus there are only two adults (DH and another man) and 4 boys who have signed up for the cam pout. Will see what they decide tonight. Our COR is the one said we had to go camping in November. Well, he's going to be out of town, so I'm going to be talking to him tonight. DH can't help it if he's sick and we can't afford for him to get sick again!
Hope everyone has a good evening.
Debbie D.
Susie - Glad you're feeling better and it's nice to see your smiling face back on the board. I will pray it's smooth sailing from now on!
Lou - Thank protein sounds interesting. Is it tufo or what exactly is it? What's the name of it? Have you tried it yet. Please let us know. I'm always interested in trying to ways to get my protein in. Glad you're doing so well!

Hi MoPeeps!
No deer for our freezer here - don't know if I am disapointed or relieved that I don't have to work one up. Son said that it was the time he spent with his grandpa not actually getting the deer. My heart just feels so full when my kids say something so meaningful like that!
I had a wonderful time with Shana this weekend but I am wore out!!! We went shopping at Walmart, the Amish store north of town here and then ended up at Aldi's as she had never been there. I spent way to much on her this weekend but it was worth every penny. Word of advise - be prepared when you take (2) 7 year old girls to the movies. Madagastar 2 was so good and the 5 previews we saw make me want to go see each of them especially "Marley & Me" when they come out.
Shana fell trying to get up to pet the outside cat and ended up bruising her thigh - I thought oh no how am I going to tell her Mom that she got hurt but when I got the courage up to call my dil she just said what was she doing that she wasn't supposed to be doing" then she laughed. Talk about relief! I was so scared that it would be the last 1st and last time she would allow Shana to visit. I even confessed to Tina about all the treats I had given Shana and the choc. chip pancakes I made for her Sunday morning but Tina said it was ok as it was a special weekend for Shana and she knows that she will go back to the natural and healthy treats when she gets home.
I wish I had the time off to come to the get-together wednesday but I have to work. Got off at 11:30 am today and went to Columbia Mall to get protein as I forgot to order it and I ran out. They have a new manager and I got no discount like I did when Mike was the store manager. The new guy said that was one of the reasons he is no longer there. Oh well! Have got to remember to order more when I open the last case. I really like the isopure but at $4.75 a bottle I will skip it unless its on sale. Wil stick to the grape bullits for now.
I cooked like you would not believe it this weekend. We had pizza friday night then Saturday I made the taco casserole, a peach and an apple splenda pie, hot wings and homemade rolls. Sunday morning I made biscuits & gravy, hashbrowns, scrambled eggs and the choc. chip pancakes and for lunch we had leftovers. Still have leftovers - any takers? Was going to take the left over biscuits and gravy to work this am but dad stopped me - had to laugh at that. He just about polished them off this afternoon.
I had a wonderful weekend but I feel sad that I was a little relieved when they left.
You all take care - sandy

Evening everybody...
Since I feel more like myself instead of so cranky (like this morning...I was UGLY) I thought I would pop on and see how everybody is doing. You are all so busy that I swear I'm a slug! But that's ok....cause I have been feeling so much better that I am getting things accomplished and it has been a long time since I felt like doing anything. I honestly have to admit that the counseling is helping, I sure didn't want to believe that I was holding that much crud inside but thru a lot of prayer and a lot of tears we're getting to the issues and letting them go. I think that is why I'm starting to feel better about things in general.
Cannot wait to see those of you that can come on Wednesday and am truly sorry that I don't get to meet those of you that can't come. But I'm sure there will be another time and place and I'm already planning to go to the next get together, wherever it may be.
Busy today, after I got out of my funky, stinky attitude and managed to get the house cleaned and laundry done. But that doesn't mean you can look closely cause there is still lots of dirt hiding. And since our windows are getting replaced, I haven't washed them this fall and they are gross! I can't wait for the new ones becasue they will be clean! But it helps to get the place cleaned cause now I can just touch up thru the holidays and do another major cleaning after the Christmas stuff comes down.
Well, I think I'll get out and go to the grocery store. Hubby will be working all night and I need to keep out of the kitchen. Have a great evening and a better tomorrow.
Love,
Peggy

Good Evening Jan and All
Hope ya all had a great day. As for the deer meat , I get the loins . Jason and Gail jr make summer sausage and jerky and kabobs outta the rest. And there have been times they have filled so many taggs that we ended up giving it away to people and to the food bank.
I need to call my pcp tomorrow got a letter that he ants to discuss my blood work. Well i know its my cholesterol cuz both good and bad are still bad and i'm on cholesterol meds for it. But my dr wants me to see the cardio dr. So guess i'll go do it. Get my b-12 and flu shot while i'm there.Than go to Columbia Fri , And they better have a damn reason why i am gaining weight instead of loseing, This is insain and making me very depressed.I don't even wanna get outta bed in the morning but gotta get Nikki ready for school,But then just wanna lay around and do nothing. I have no energy ,not get up and go cuzx it done got up and went. I was doing so good .Loseing about a lb to 2 lbs a day had tons of energy,walked daily, twice a day, cleaned house, the yard, you name it i was doing it, But for the past month i haven't wanted to do anything.
My insain sister called yesterday giving me crap on the answering machine so i called had my number changed, I don't gotta deal with her and am not going to.I swear if the woman couldn't cause drama in someones life on a daily basis she would die.
Laura,Nikki and I put some Christmas decorations inthe house tonight. Laura loves Christmas as much as i do. All my santas are on the mantal along with garland and lights,lights around the door ways with garland and of course can't have garland without the lil red bows. It looks really pretty, We rearrainged livingroom to make room for the tree which will go up the Sat after Thanksgiving, I am trying so hard to get in a good mood but am i just such a funk. And don't know why.I started my paxil again today so hopefully soon things will level out.
While i was hunting for hot glue gun and glue sticks i came across some pics of my brother ,The one who died from morphine overdose in 07 and i just totally broke down. Haven't ever really cryed over his death but today i did and i am stil upset. That isn't like me. I am the strong one always strong for everyone else. Keep my feelings to myself. Don't know why know it is starting to bother me so much.But guess it's life and i'll live through it.
Hope everyone is doing good and please know i am praying for those of you that are in need.
Jan i have always fried my mushrooms by dipping them in egg n milk then in flour or cracker crumbs.So i guess i won't be doing that anymore. Ok maybe i'll have a couple. LOL.
Love and Hugs Deb
