WHATS HAPPENING FRIDAY
Hey guys we ran all day today....we left the house at 6:45 and got in Branson for our first appoinitment , Joes Doctor< at 8:am..just a check up on his back pain. He ask Joe how much improvement he had since the shots in his back. Joe said about 70 to 75 percent for the better. Doctor Hopewell told him that the shots help with the pain and when they can get even 50 improvement they are happy. He don’t have to go back till March 4th. At9am . Then I went to my appointment with the sleep clinic doctor , things were fine they ordered me a new type of sleep mask they ordered it from the people that bring all that stuff out. They made me another appointment and I didn’t notice what time she was putting down till later ...lol it is March 4th at 11:30 am...now that is the way appointments should be done lol went and got groceries and went to dollar store and bought paper products. ....then to my pcp to pee in their cup lol wouldn’t you know it I still have that dad blasted UII ,,,,she said she didn’t know it could just be residual . I ask her if she was going to send it out for culture and she said yes . so we decided to wait till i t to comes back and see if they say it is still infection or is residual. That wont know that till probably Wed of next week .
While out today I found some pretty gifts for the COF Christmas party. I really like them I may just pick them at the party when it comes my turn. Lol anyway I think someone would take them away from me lol
I want to thank all of you sweet girls and guy about all the sweet good things you said about me ....i know im not nearly as good as you all make me sound. I do try but im like everyone else too , I fall down sometimes. I do try to post on peoples post especially if I see that no one has said anything to them.....but I miss people for sure. The ones I really don’t respond to is if someone comes on the board and responds to someone elses post. Since they have responded im sure the person with the original post will be back on and that person can make a comment ...
I am so sleepy that I think I will close this out and continue in the morning. I probably wont sleep but a few hours anyway. Especially if I cant find a good sleeping postion. Lol
‘love you all will see you in about 3 hours. ..
I slept all of an hour, don’t know how long im up here or not, don’t get a lot of sleep that is for sure.
That might not come in for a long long time...
TAMMY-AMMY::::: hi there sweetie! Im not offened by what others say , it just hurts me that others cant have as much fun as the rest of us have. I just feel sorry mainly for others that they cant enjoy things for sure. Is sort of like if no one ever told them that they have a birthday before how would they know what to look for.
I love you too sweetheart and I just wish there was some way that we could have you come to our meetings every month...hey maybe we could video it to you lol now that would be something huh?
How is everyone in your family doing today...are the babies all right and everyone getting over the crud stuff?
Welll need to hurry and get to the next post and thank you sweetie for your concern for me ...but im a big girl or was LOL and I feel like you do that no one is excluded on here....yes I know some of you better than others but I love to meet new people all the time , nothing makes me happier.
ANDREW:::::: hey buddy if it isn’t too windy out this morning I want to go walking. The cold isn’t too bad as long as that wind lay down.
Did you get all your running around done yesterday ....We got home about 3:30 ...poor Joe went straight to bed for a nap and slept till almost 6 ....he was really tired I guess.
Hope you got Susans PCP to fill out those papers for her???
See you all after while.
SUSAN::::: Hi sweetie how are you doing this morning? Love the poinsettia. It is so so pretty. I saw those artificial ones at wal mart yesterday and I thought about getting a couple of them to put on the front porch ...but with the wind we have been having no telling where they would wind up at ....See you in a little while....i have to get busy with this walking ...my weight is up a couple of pounds and I don’t like that.
SUGAR:::::: lol wow you all see how fast my baby sissy jumped in here....i think she is a little one sided tho don’t you all? That’s ok she is my sister and can be that way I guess.
I know it does seem like sometimes that we have our own little circle but we really don’t we are always happy when someone new comes on the board...but they have to do their part too buy letting us get to know them and if they are going to tell big tales they need to keep it all straight. Lol and that isn’t toward Nuttie... I love her as much as anyone....and I have missed her....i have tried to email her over and over again. I thought maybe she had her email sit to not take mass mailings so I have tried to email her on a one on one basis, about the next meeting for the COF...and that will come back too. I don’t know what else people expect me to do when the email they give me on the list we have them sign in on is wrong or it kicks it back...i try two or three times and then I mark them off the list. So if you send me your email and it is wrong then I have no way of getting in touch with them....i don’t like phones, ask my sister.....how many times do I call you sissy? Not much do i>?
So what do you think about Sat the 13th?? We could leavce to come hom
\e by 7 or so ? I could stay overnight with you and go to Church with you the next day.
BEC:::::::I couldn’t have said it all better my self ....now how is Bec this morning?
I guess you are getting ready to go out and walk? Oh how I wish God would give me that determination to do that daily ....i feel so much better when I do it daily except for my left knee and sometimes the right knee that I had fixed hurts.
Are you still using your cpap machine? I just wondered...i feel so much better when I can keep it on all night ,I hope the new mask will help that. It is a little firmer mask and fits my face better....it is for a kid lol they said I have a tiny face lol I never thought my face was tiny? Is it ? hey maybe that is what is wrong with me if I have a tiny face then my head is tiny and so it stands to reason that nmy brain has to be tiny too lol well now I have it all figured out lol
Love you sweet Bec and don’t kill yourself getting things ready for Susan and Andy....they are really sweet people and you will fall in love with them for sure..
VESTA:::::: yes I guess I am blunt and to the point but I never do it to hurt people ...or at least that isn’t my intention. I think a lot of that came from being a nurse for so long,.,..and if someone isn’t following instructions to get well then I make it known in plain English...lol I know I could use more couth but it really makes me mad to see someone have this surgery done and then not follow the rules...why have it done...and usually it is some of thenm that didn’t have any problems getting to have the surgery...i knew when I had this done that it was my last chance....my only chance and I havtreated it like it was and is my last chance to live...love you and will get down to your group soon ...promise..
SUSIE:::::: thanks sweetie....we all love you honey...,.there will be many stalls along the way .,,,don’t get discouraged. And keep your head ...look at what you are doing....check your protein,...water and exercise...how much of each of those are you getting in daily ...
You may need more protein of the drink kind,,, maybe you need to look at the food you eat and the carbs....Dr. H says no more than 15 at one sitting... water 64 oz is a good starting point but I get in close to 120 oz a day.... and the exercise Dr. H says 30 minutes at least a day every day...
You will start up In weight loss again....just keep improving all the above and it will work.
Merry Christmas to you too love you muchy
PEGGY ::::::: our little bitty pretty one , I am so glad that you got that new picture up so everyone can see what a pretty girl you are. I cant imagine you feeling left out....you are the picture of bubbly to me but yes I know how we were before we got the new us. Lol
I wasn’t into people much then either. I always thought people were talking about me behind my back and truth be told sometimes I still let that ole fat girls mentatialty slip in there...i don’t like her and I don’t want her around but she shows up once in a while and that is why I really really try to answer eceryone,..but I do miss people once in a while .
You are loved too and don’t forget that sweetie....I love you..
LOU ::::::::: yea!!!!!!50 pounds how wonderful was that your first mini goal.? You did it fast too didn’t you? I remember my first 50 pounds it felt wonderful....keep up the good work and you are exercising great. Tell your daughter she is sitting up really good life time habits and to keep them going and she wont have any trouble in her life for weight.
Love you girl ...you are doinhg great
JANET :::::: oh one of my favorite nieces....you are so loved by as many as I am ....you don’t have to get so upset about someone saying something to your aunt honey lol I love you and I really didn’t take what was said as being said to me directly , I just get upset when others aren’t happy. I know Nutti has had a lot on her plate but all this board can do is she can post it to vent and maybe someone will be able to help her , we don’t have the answers at all just an ear. And sometimes I don’t know what to say to someone and don’t say anything in fear I will say the wrong thing..
Don’t worry about me sweetie , im still here , guess I will be till I cant be and if this numbness in my hands doesn’t go away the cant might happen sooner than later lol
How is your family this morning? And did you get your phone calls made...the place in Branson isn’t open on Fridays to make appointments. Only for med scripts refills or such...
I ask dr. Hopewell yesterday if there was any new things for arthritis pain besides pain pills and he said yes ...but he didn’t go into it more. ...
SANDY:::::: love you girl...wish you could come to our meetings too, you go to the one in Kirksville don’t you? Wish someone from there would start reporting about your meetings and maybe more of you would get on line...
How are you feeling this morning. Yes the vicks on the bottom of the feet really does help doesn’t it Hope you have a great day and you have to be back at work today?
Hope that goes well ....love you.
COR::::: WOW GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER... 2 days and a wake up can you believe it...Hugs to you too girl .....you are going to be ok you know. Do you have any other protein powder there? You don’t have to use slim fast ,you can make yourself a protein shake with good and better protein than what is in the slim fast....well better email or call Margie ..but I know they told someone that . and the protein you have should make you have more energy. And if you can drink those slim fast you should be able to stand anything.
Love you and we are all praying for you ....you will have lots of company while in the hospital I know....not long now...if you have any thing you need to ask , ask away.
YES TIS THE SEASON AND THE REASON TO WORSHIP OUR LORD...
DEBBIE D::::::: so glad to see your sweet smilling face....I am praying for all im worth for David to be offered the best job that he has ever had ...with all the things in place that he needs and want
Do you think your tireness is from the Lyme disease ? or something else? Is it time to have your lab work done again....do you get copies of your labs...you need to and then you can watch your vits count and know when it is time to increase certain things before it gets out of hand....
Hope you got all your decorations up and going ....i love Christmas and all the decorations. Sugar should tell everyone about her daughters thought about her birthday and Christmas ....funny story about kids and what they think.
Thank you and I know how you feel , I love everyone of you that are on here too. And feel like I have known you for a long long time...and when we do meet in person there is no
Being strangers we just hug and start talking like we have know each other all our lives...
ATTENTION :::: MEGAN IS IN HOSPITAL PRAY..DONT KNOW THE DETAILS YET JUST READ THE HEADING OF POST ,
Got to get this posted before everyone thinks i have dropped dead ....love all of you ...
HUGS AND LOVE

Ok Im going to post...I started to earlier but decided to wait for Skyler to get here and get settled. Hes not feeling well again and is in the LR watching a movie. Poor little fellow, tummy upset but not puking! Thank the good LORD!
Hey sis, what are sisters for if not to jump to your rescue especially when it is deserved! lol...And NO guys, she does not call me very often at all! She is actually a real POOT when it comes to that, (but of course, so am I) lol!
That is great about the shots doing Joe some good, but how is his neck? I hope that makes it easier on him. And just when are you going to go get the knee done? It isnt going to heal on its own...well......unless GOD decides to do that for you.
Could I ask for prayer for my kids again? Rick and Melissa are really struggling financially and of course Chelle always does, but her job may be at risk too! They just could use some prayers to cover them at this time.
NOW!!! On to some fun topics, the COF party on the 22 at 6PM at Calvary Baptist Church in Republic. It is right on Hwy 60 on the west side of town and easy to find. Plan on being there if at all possible and watch for posts coming real soon. We will play some games and do a gift exchange ($10 limit) if you want to participate. Bring something good to eat ...wls friendly or not, but just mark it one way or the other. I will furnish the drinks (coffee and tea and maybe a sf punch)and we already have the paper goods. PLEASE COME!!! And, let us know if you plan to attend, ok? I think Janet is going to put up a sign in post soon.
Of course with this going on with Meagan, we will wait and see when she might get involved. Her daughter and new gbaby is much more important than the party so please pray for them!
Bec, one of these days you are going to freeze to the road in mid stride and that trucker is going to have to get out and thaw you out!!! OHhhhhhhh??? HUM! That didnt sound right did it? lol
Lou, good for you. Isnt it fantastic when you reach one of your goals? They keep coming too, that is the best part. You are one gorgeous girl and will be a knock out when you get to those long sought after weight goals.
Andy and Susan, IM Jealous! AGAIN!!! Everyone gets to go see Bec and stay with her except for me! BOO HOO! You two have fun and enjoy the visit.
Jeanine...where are you again????? GET on here and visit with us! We miss you sooooooooooooooooo much girly.
Vesta, we will get down to a meeting one of these days...maybe in Jan. if the weather behaves. I think it would be great to go visit some of the other meetings. When do you have yours and where are they held?
Peggy, I wish you could get your mo-jo going on Christmas decorating and just swing on down here and do my house. You should see how many boxes of stuff I have I feel so ashamed cause I dont have a thing done yet.
Susie, stalls are common and many. GET USED TO THEM! lol! We all have them and we all get disturbed by them. UGH! IM in another right now. I cant seem to loose that last pound...lol! That sounds really funny saying it! I really am NOT worried about it would just like to say I got there even if I went right back up the next day.
COR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its only 3 days away now. Are you excited, nervous, scared, frantic? All of the above? When does your mom come? Know that we are praying for a safe surgery and a very fast recovery.
Janet, We love you and Meagan and the baby!!! And poor little JON. He better get well soon. And we will certainly pray for strength for you to get thru this too. Give Meagan a big hug and kiss from all of us and a kiss on the belly for little Mekenzie. I know I didnt spell that right...but I bet you can guess who Im talking about right?
Debbie D. girl I hope you are alright. Havent been seeing you on here much lately. And we definately are praying for the hubby to find just the right job (the one GOD wants him to have)! Do you think you might come down for our party on the 22nd? I hope you can make it.
Barbara, where are you? Whats going on girl?
Gotta go tend to the grandson! He likes to cuddle when hes sick and I cant miss out on too much of that!
Love to you all! and may GOD bless your day!
GOD is my ROCK! SUGAR 
I am not to worried about my stall as long as it doesn't last to long. I am getting my protien and very few carbs. I get my vitamins in evey day. I try hard to get my water but I am not sure if I am getting enough. Exercise.........well that is a hard one I am having lots of trouble there. I can't seem to get started. I know I need to do it. I am struggling with it. My sister got me a walking dvd to play while on my treadmill and I am planning to use it........soon.
Jan you and Sugar can come to my house and I can drive to Karens if you would like. My house is easy to find. I am only four miles off I44. You can get the machine too.
My DH has been out of town this week and got really sick. He is headed home now and said he is going staight to the er at the base as soon as he gets here. I know he is sick to do that. The ER there is way understaffed and slow. He hates it so he must be in bad shape. So if everyone would say a prayer for him I would be greatful.He said he was coughing up blood which scares me.
Thanks for all the encouragement and hope you all stay warm.
Dear Auntie Jan and OH Peeps~
Normally I think TGIF....Not today! Im going on like 2 hrs of sleep....Im a little overwhelmed this morning, and I cant stop from crying on and off....lack of sleep, concern, pain-dang-what a combination!
I have already posted an update-but they admitted Meg last night, around 3 am. Her dr was clld in and after some tests-she said that she believes this is related to her Group B Strep....man, that is one wicked disease. I was only in the hospital once when I was pregnant with Stephanie-so I hope this is the only time for Megan too-but I didnt have a catheter and IV port like she does. Her white blood cell count is high-she (the dr) said thats infection somewhere-but that it wasnt a bladder or UTI. They will be doing more tests on her today. The high light of the whole darn thing was that they have done 2 ultra sounds (she was having Braxton Hicks) and the 2nd one-Mackenzie was sucking her thumb! (makes me tear up just to think about it) Dr said she believes that she is 2# now. She didnt/doesnt like that fetal monitor on mommys belly-keeps kicking at it!!! I had to smile.....she was like-geez, LEAVE ME ALONE! Im TRYING to rest!
I may be asking Santa for a wig. I may only have ONE hair on my head.......from scratching it wondering... From the stress.....from the-whatever.........a squiggly one at that! Today I was to be with my neice-for her cake decorating party, the rehearsal and then wedding tomorrow. Safe to say that today will be here at the hospital with Megan. Jon woke up with a nagging hacking cough AGAIN...and he is so puney-but I dont think he could go to the birthing room anyway because of his age-since he is not their son. So, my MIL said she would watch him when I go back up-which I will be doing that shortly.
Yesterday from about 330 on-was like I was stuck in a nightmare. Had to go to Art Club....which I dont mind-but, for some reason yesterday-it was like being stuck in Hillbilly Hell with some of the things some of these parents were coming up with to do the Christmas fund-raisers.....yeah-and after we got a huge box of those twigs/sticks for the angel eyes and all of that-NOW....they are thinking of wrapping gifts for donations....thats all fine and dandy-BUT.....the mall wont rent them a one day spot-they would have to rent a spot for the month, at the tune of $900. Whatever! After a half hour of certain parents asking if maybe they could take up a donation box to rent this booth at the mall for a month-I politely asked WHO was going to volunteer to run the booth 24/7 OR the 48 hrs on the weekends? NOT ME....I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME! I just dont! As nicely as I could-I said that I thought that there were more important ways for ME to spend the kind of money they are wanting us to cough up-than to rent a booth that our kids wont use but maybe 4 days now! They dont get out of school until the 23rd-so its not like there is a lot of time left.....I personally dont have those kinds of funds and whatever I could donate-I would rather go to something to help out.....I do not feel the kids will make that much money on a booth by the time WE SUPPLY ALL the wrapping paper, tape, bows, tags etc etc etc!!!! PLUS the booth cost!! Come on people!~ Ive already got 6, 6 of them-14 and 15 yr old boys that will be with me, in MY care, next Saturday-to do whatever fundraiser these people decide they are going to do-and I HATE last minute crap-so they better get it together, or this chickie wont be doing anything like that! So-was stuck in that mess till 430. My mom had called me while I was in Art Club wanting to chat about the girls (my girls) getting into a huge arguement and how cranky Megan was-and how emotional.....I told her that I would have to call her back.....
Get home-ANOTHER CALL....and this time, Megan has really bad pains and they are taking her to the local hospital-a couple blocks from her house-but her doc is not in Joplin, she is in Carthage. So-they look at her and check the baby and send her home to rest. I get home (again).....there are 2 boxes on my porch right next to the door-and its from Mikes mom. Its Mikes dads personal belongings. CRAP! So, bring the boxes in and when Mike gets home-he starts going through the stuff and MAN (so now I am crying again, just like we just lost him! Mike wasnt doing so hot either-he couldnt stop crying either).....ok-so.....I make dinner and my phone rings again, and Megan and Aarons car wont start.... They are stranded in Webb City and its cold out! WHAT? Megan says-Mom, I am having pain WORSE than before-I feel like I am going to pass out the pain is so bad (OMG....PLEASE....)-so-I KNOW I am going to town again. Talk to Mike and am getting ready to go-and she calls and says that My mom is on her way to get them and take them to Carthage. She was picking Stephanie up from work anyway and was closer to them than me! Get Mike and the boys fed, and make sure he is going to be ok. Get to the hospital and they admitted her. You know the rest of that story. Am I coming? Am I going? Is this a joke? I think I am going to look like a permanent raccoon with the black circles that have formed around my eyes. Hell do I look OLD! Older than I am, I should say!
I got 2 hrs of sleep. Called nurses station as soon as I got up-she went and checked for me, and the kids were sleeping. I didnt want to wake them. Megan called me shortly after. I tried so hard not to cry while we were talking. I guess they will always be our "babies" wont they? You just want to always protect them and keep them safe and always take it away from them, dont we? When Jon got up-oh yah-hacking, nagging cough. LOVELY! I really thought that was the hi-light of my day yesterday is he SEEMED to be doing so much better! So, if you could squeeze some prayers out for those 2, I would be grateful!
Im gonna get a couple of responses done and get.....
**Jan-Im so glad to see you here this morning....Im just gonna say that Im sorry this all happened and that Im not even going to respond to Lori and her comments made on Nuttis post. I really wanted to- (did and deleted it!) because we arent idiots-we can all read between the lines-but I am so over it. Sometimes you just got to look at the source and then decide if its worth the time or not-and for me, its not worth it. Most people know and can read between the lines.....You know me, I dont hold back much-but I sure did yesterday. Im pretty much to the point-but anyway-its done and Im not spending another second of my time on that subject.
Yes, your right-I may get "passionate" when I feel like we get picked on (or someone I love is unfairly hurt)-but dang it-dont hurt the people I love.....Wouldnt that be a sight, the crippled trying to hold down the crippled? I had to laugh when I read that! Im sure it would be a sight!
My appt is either the 13th or 16th. I cant remember which. I cant even tell you right now where its wrote down at.....this has been the week from hell. I dont have a dang Christmas thing up. Im very distraught about this! I WILL-in the next 3-4 days have that tree up and the stuff put out. I WILL. IF I have to have Megan ON my couch so I can watch her! LOL.....Heck....I thought about having a ****tail the other night....and then reality hit-dummy, you know IF you go make yourself a nice drink, that the glass will break and you will have to have stitches, or it will be expired (LOL...I know they dont expire....but MY luck-it was probably made in china or something and they used antifreeze or something to fill the bottle up-LOL) You gotta admit thats par for the course lately? Yah-you KNOW Im right! Besides, the ice I bought when Renee was here-has freezer burn and tastes like crap! LOL... I gotta stop...could bring on so many examples!
Anyway-LOVE YA! Love Uncle Joe Joe and glad everything is ok. Will pray about your pee test-LOL. Leave it to you~ Hope you have a good and peaceful and WARM weekend and get to walk. Walk for me too......
**Bec-Im sure that you will do great in the bakery. I baked home-made cookies last week. Ate one. The rest are in the container and havent touched one and dont care to.
Maybe the dogs knew they would warm up walking with you! I cannot WAIT to come that way and go for a walk with you! Sounds so wonderful. When I read your posts-I can imagine exactly what you type. I love living in the country and would never want to even venture on a "city" walk. Dont think I would get as much out of it as I do a country walk. Love all the animals and peace out here.
Cant wait to see you on the 22nd! Im looking forward to extra time with you! We ARE going to have fun. I dont care what happens-WE WILL get together and have fun! Love you and have a good weekend!
**Sandy-I hope and pray you continue to get better! You are in my prayers! Im sorry your having to miss work, ecspically this time of the year! So wish we could see you at the COF party-but I KNOW we will get the pleasure of meeting next year sometime. Take care!
**Cor-WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOO! Girl, your getting ready to hit the bench! Im so happy that your gonna be right next to us! Your doing so good on that liquid diet and Im so proud of you! Love you and keep your eyes on the prize, my friend!
**Deb D-I am praying that David gets that good job today! Keep us posted! When are you going to post pics of that kitchen, or did you do it already and I missed it? Im sorry if I did. How are you feeling? I hope your doing better.....Love you.
**Peggy-I have been meaning to tell you-WOW on your new avatar picture!!! You look so much younger-and I dont mean that offensively! Your such a beautiful lady! Just love you to peices-just for being you and I really pray I get to see you on the 22nd......Have a good weekend-and I am praying about the situation with your son and his ex girlfriend...keep us posted ok?
**Barbara-I thought of you the other day when I saw the cutest little baby dress for a very little dog. I wanted to buy it for baby so badly-but didnt know if you dress her u*****t-and didnt want you to think I was a dork! LOL..... So, do you? You have been on my heart a lot, Barbara, can I be snoopy and ask if your ok? I know you said your blah this holiday season and that just doesnt seem like you. I am praying for you and thinking of you often. Please let us know how you are-OR email me directly. I THOUGHT I had your direct email address, but I cant find it anywhere.....Im sorry. Just know I love you and am praying for you and whatever the need may be.
**Deb (pooh)-Girl, I just love you so much! Open mouth and insert the whole shoe store-No, NOT ME, NOT YOU......LOL.....Did you like my backing up the semi with the replacement shoes? Running over that drs little sportscar-you know, the one that doesnt want to do anything so we are pain free, except shove more pain pills down our throats? LOL.....I knew youd get a kick out of that!
NOW-As your buddy-get your BUTT BACK ON HERE AND POST....Who cares if its not all peachy and uplifting? Isnt that WHAT you told me?

Wow, has it been a busy day! DH and I did some touch up clean up of the grout in the kitchen this morning. He still has one small area to grout. Which he will do in the morning, then he will seal the entire kitchen on Sunday. I found the neatest kitchen door knobs on-line at home depot. Actually, they are just like the ones I have accept it will be brushed nickel with a black ceramic insert. They were shipped yesterday. Hopefully, they'll come in this week. Once those are installed the kitchen will be done except for the new hinges which will wait until after the first of the year. Then we need to take down the border and paint. That's going to have to wait until after the holidays as well.
DH went with me to the Mega Christmas Warehouse in Grandview which Vesta went to last week. It is HUGE! I got a lot of garland and some decorations. The tree is up and hopefully we'll get everything decorated tomorrow afternoon. We then went to White Market (or something like that) store and bought a really cute glass bottle and spout (kinda like Peggy had) to put my dish-washing liquid in. Then went to Dress Barn (it was right next door) bought myself 2 sweaters and a really nice dark purple velour jogging suit. I really needed some WARM clothes! We then went to Walmart, picked Jake up from his Christmas Party at school and came home and collapsed. We watched Journey to the Center of the Earth. It was pretty good! I really enjoyed it.
Thank you everyone for your prayers concerning DH's job. He didn't hear from that company today. He's a little concerned. However, I told him that maybe that guy was going to take the weekend to narrow his choices. Who knows, may hear something next week. I believe the Lord is in control and He will provide the right job at the right time. I know there's a lesson in all of this for our family. God is Good All the Time. All The Time God is Good!
Mama Jan - I had to push myself to get out today, however, feel better after doing so. I really think it's the CFS (could be the Lyme) that's making me so tired. Margie told me not to have my iron tested until February. I guess it takes that new medicine I took for a month that long to thoroughly do its job. I'm glad Joe is getting some much needed pain relief. It was great to see your smiling face this morning!
Bec - I don't know how you do it. You are one determined young lady!! Hurray for you! I really am so proud of you. Are you going to the COF Christmas Party? Is Paul going with you? I'm seriously considering seeing if dh would go with me and we would just spend the night somewhere in Springfield. Would probably have to bring Jake. Luke will be in Nebraska and won't be home until the 23rd. Haven't mentioned it to anyone yet....
Sugar - Did you read my post to Bec? I just may be at that Party. Sounds like a lot of fun! Will how what happens. I will keep your kids in my prayers. It is a mess out there financially and especially this time of year. Hope your daughter is able to keep her job. Will keep praying.
Janet - Honey, I wish I was there to give you a big hug! Please tell Megan we are all praying for her, the baby and Aaron. What a scary thing to go through with your first baby. She is blessed to have such a great Mom to help her thru it. Will keep you in my prayers.
Cor - Just a few more days! Are you excited, nervous, a combination of both? We're keeping that bench warm for you!
MO Peeps - Hope everyone has a blessed weekend. Christmas is only 3 weeks away. Let's remember the reason Jesus came to this old earth to die the horrible death he did....to save sinful people. What a great gift God gave to us if we will but believe and receive it.
Love all of you!
Debbie D.
Continuing to pray for your DH and Yes, God is in control. He already knows where he will be employed.
I just had to tell you to enjoy those new clothes and then when you are tired, please let me know which box they will be in and the clothing exchange. (Ha Ha) I think of you every time I put that top on that I got from you. the one in my picture.
