WHATS HAPPENING FRIDAY
We worked all day in the yard today, im tired but feel good. We got it all everywhere cleaned up and burned a lot of it...still have a whole lot to burn so I guess that is what we will be doing tomorrow,..,. have some big limbs that we have cut off as far as we can get them but they are stil hanging in the trees.so will have to get the tree company to come out and get some of the hanging limbs out plus will see about getting the elms up close to the house trimed up , don’t know if that will help them but hope so...will ask the tree guy...
I also planted some yellow squash and acorn squash seeds in the green house,,, have them under light and heater under them... the yellow squash is an early one .so can have a good supply of vit C wonder when we quit thinking about how to feed ourselves and to be able to add protein and vits to our diet.
Today was a beautiful day wasn’t it? I sure hope Sunday is a just like it...and we can get most of all of this stuff burned up....the limbs that are big enough to make fire logs are being cut to length and stacked with all the other wood we have piled up...we do a lot of night time fires in the spring and fall night time relaxtiing sittings. We cook and visit around the fire pit...is very relaxing....
I planted a bunch of daffodils..up the side of the driveway , I don’t know if they will do anything especially this year since I just got them in the ground but at least they will have a chance...i have been really negligent about getting them planted. They appear to be ok so at least they will have a chance now lol the are the big yellow ones ...very bright and cheerful...i already have them up one whole side of the drive...so this will be really pretty I think....almost all my tulips are coming up , I have 2 huge beds of them in the front yard and then I have planted 500 in the back yard alone....will help give some color till the other perennials come up and then wont be long till the annuals can be planted.
JACKIEKIM::::: lol that was cute but I didn’t see it going past me..
SUSAN:::::I agree with you completely that she is crazy lol anyone wanting that many kids has to be lol
I forgot to ask you this afternoon if you had stopped and ask you how your dad was...
Hope he is alright. ...hey would you want to help me get some things planted next week when I get my packages of seeds from Park...?
BEC:::::: yes I noticed that this morning about the birds, the hungry little buggers....they sure do eat a lot it seems..
Wow that valentine dinner sounds fancy. Can you come and make my Joe one like that lol he will be lucky if I make him a cake ....i guess I will go buy him a steak or something..
Oh sweetie you really don’t make me feel badly maybe guilty is a better word lol...sometimes I think I must be one of the laziest people on earth about exercise..I really hate anything like that. Now if it can be intwined into something else. Like yardwork or gardening or climbing mountains. I think I want to see something done with time other than just exercise lol
LANA:::::::lol well don’t know if im really glad to be home. I loved
I guess I really need to start taking things to the farmers market too....I have about 20 small elephant ears potted up and they are beginning to come up... I don’t know what to charge for them tho.. lol
I don’t know anything about sugar free gum , I don’t ever chew it . Have only chewed gum one time in my life at about 5 I guess and it made me so sick. It is like it gages me .
So cant tell you anything about it.
MEGGIE:::::well where is that baby.,.,,yahoo Mackenzie where are you little girl .
I bet you can barely contain yourself can you? Just think a few more days and you will be a mommie,,,,
Well as I write this it is 12:30 and the 12th is over so guess your moms idea of the 12th was wrong hope that feeling wasn’t for something bad ,.....maybe kenzie will be born on the 14th.
SUSIE:::::yes I agree that your sinus problems are probably the dust from the remodel...that stuff is horrible.
I don’t know how your hubby can say you do nothing. When we were there your house was so beautiful and spotless,....and I know they don’t clean themselves. I know cause I hate housework...ive become an expert of avoiding it as much as possible. Lol
I wonder where you would find stained glass instructions.
LOVE AND HUGS
GOD BLESS
EXPECT A MIRACLE
JAN C.
I got my seeds started yesterday, and have the grow light on them, about 150 starter pots, cukes, peppers, tomatoes, petunias, impatients, moonflowers,and several different ones.
I just found the moon flower seeds, I had them one time and they were beautiful, they are annuals,
didn't see them for awhile and run on to them again, they just bloom at night, just beautiful,
Jan the seeds you gave me I started a bunch of them, I gotta get some more pots...I bought some the wave petunias seeds $2.50 for about 7 seeds..phew...I GOT 4 different shades
I will put the rest of the seeds Jan gave me in the ground when it gets warm, I will have flowers everywhere, she really gave me some wonderful things, I put all I could out last year when she gave them to me s and everyone lived so they should do good this year.
I covered everything heavy with straw, cant wait until it gets warm enough to uncover them.
everyone have a nice day....vesta

Jan you can buy books to explain how to do stained glass and the patterns. I know hobby lobby has the supplies. I kinda gave up on it after one project. I do like doing the mosaics. I of course gave them all away. I think I have a vase and a coaster. I have a lot of stained glass so I am going to have to make some stuff. Lately I am more into stampin my cards and jewelry making. I used to do ceramics years ago and loved it but there is nowhere here to do it that I know of. I even took and oil painting class when I lived in El Paso and did quite a few paintings. Gave most of them away, might have a couple . I have one hanging in the upstairs quest room over the bed. I bet all my oil paint is hard as a rock now. My problem is I have big ideas but never put them into action.
I may try to start afew plants inside this spring. I have a grow light.I tried before and didn't have good results. I think I left the light on too much. I can't wait to see all the beautiful flowers I am going to have this year. I hope we don't get floods or drought.
Looks like I am off today,they haven't called so maybe I can do some stuff here. I am not planing anything for Valentines Day. My dear DH and I are on the outs. Kinda funny but he does this alot around holidays. I wonder if he is trying to get out of doing something. Who knows what goes on in the male mind. Its been kinda nice and quite here. I doubt it will last very much longer and he'll be talking to me again telling me how bad the house looks. Yes Jan he thought the house was bad when you were here. He says it embarrasses him we live this way. Its the military in him I think. I never thought I should pass inspection so we butt heads.
I hope everyone has a great day.

jan i would be glad to help you plant some seed's when they come.i love to plant thing's and watch them grow. just let me know when.
my dad is ok.thank's for asking.they said he had no side affect's from his falling.i just keep on thanking god he has not broken anything.he has fallen a lot here in the last couple of week's.the lady from our church who groom's chrissy her dad is in the same home as my dad.she said he dad fall's all the time out of his wheel chair.the nurses cannot put belt's on anyone to prevent anyone from falling.they said it is not allowed.
i put a bird feeder out side his room window for him yesterday.he love's to watch the bird's.some of the other people who live there have them outside their window's too.
i just want to ask you all to pray for me.when i was at my dad's home yesterday,i had a little problem getting back in the car.when i went to put the bird feeder by his window for him the ground was really wet.when i went to get into the car my left foot slipped off of the edge of the floor board.i twisted my leg and knee.i heard something pop.i look like a really old woman trying to walk around the house today.

I have to get out for a while today and don't really want to. Today will be Shelia (don't want to go....see a theme here?) and then the grocery store. Tonight will be dancing, the only bright spot! Then tomorrow is back to the raccoon poop and mold...way to spend Valentine's Day, huh? I'll have my gloves and respirator since I manage to get sick every time I get around her stuff. I did find her wedding rings the other day. I am constantly amazed at the things that were important to her....Avon, Hallmark and chickens. The other things just got thrown into boxes and put out of sight (her husband, Mark and other things). So sad to have been so angry and bitter. And whew, if I had a portion of the money she spent on Avon, Hallmark & chickens....I would have enough money to build my house! I am just ready for this to be over...I'm sick of thinking about it and it makes me angry. Ok, enough.
I need to go see my PCP since some things are out of whack....so I've got to try to get in and see her. I just hate feeling like such a whiner. But I know my meds are off again and these female issues are starting to concern me. I wi**** was menopause but I don't think it is. I think it is tied to my synthroid. So if she will check the levels I'll feel better. They were good last time she checked and I even lost some weight but now my hair is falling out again, I'm tired and cold and my toenails are cracking....sure signs the meds aren't working again. Will they ever regulate? I sure thought I was prepared for this but I wasn't. Out of everything I have been thru, this thyroid has been the worst. Man...I AM SO whiney today!!! Sorry
Vesta.....so good to see you. I was beginning to worry. And Barb...thanks so much for posting a hello, too. I was deeply concerned about you and Baby. Glad you are doing somewhat ok. How's Renee' and Tiffany? And Tammy's grandbabies?
Just looked at the time and have got to get going. Need to get cleaned up and get to my appointment that I don't want to go to. At least by noon it will all be over....for this week anyway.
Love you all and come on Mackenzie!!!

Life isn't about about waiting for the storm to pass...
It's about learning to dance in the rain.
I'm still alive just not kickin right now. LOL Sorry it's been awhile since I posted, but between Kala, Tiff and then myself I haven't had much time to post. I do try to read everyday though.
We found out Tiff has an over active bladder and they are going to treat her with meds for a year, they think that will correct it. I sure hope it does so she doesn't have to go through a bladder surgery like I had to.
Tiff's doctor is the same one I had and as soon as he walked in the room and seen me he was so amazed and went on and on about how good I was looking. Sure was good for my ego. LOL
So after Tiff's appointment we were off to do my surgery. It was a pretty simple thing and they did it in the office, the worst part about it (at that time) was getting numb. Yesterday morning when I got up OMG my toes and right foot were completely awake and talk about pain. It was late when we got back and I figured my other pain meds would do the tric****il Tiff got out of school the following day when she could get my meds filled, boy was I wrong. I was in the worst pain for most of the day and even got to the point I screamed out a few times. I was so thankful when her and Chris got there with the pain meds. The only problem I'm having now is all the bleeding. I didn't realize removing a couple toenails would cause so much bleeding.
When we left my doctors I called Kala to let her know everything was ok, and Lee answered the phone and said they couldn't talk they were on their way to the ER because Kala was spotting. So we headed back home as quick as possible, they called about the time we made it back into town and said the ER said everything looked normal and that spotting sometimes happens, they couldn't find Noah's heartbeat though because he was moving around so much they said. I think they should have kept trying until they found it though. I guess the little bugger moves like crazy now.
Jan it's great to see you and Joe made it home safe and sound. Sounds like you are busy busy getting your gardens ready.
I'm going to see if Kala wants to come to the meeting this month since this will be the last one she will be able to go to. They are leaving March 1. Tiff and I are working on her baby shower set for the 21st and then a family get together the 22nd. We are hoping to get family pictures taken before they leave.
Susan Hun Thank you so much for asking about me every day, you are such a sweet sweet lady, thank you so much for caring.
Janet I so can't wait to see you, I'm needing some sister time badly. I keep waiting for the call to get to Joplin I know it's going to be any time now. I don't care if I have to be in a wheelchair the whole time I'm not missing it.
Please tell Mike I hope he gets to feeling better soon.
I hope EVERYONE has a wonderful BLESSED day.
Love and Hugs




Hello everyone.
I'm glad to hear everyone is good! I went to my Dr. appt this morning. I was pretty anxious because I thought she had dropped down last night and then when I woke up this morning I was having cramps, back pain, pelvic pressure, everything except contractions. So I was sprinting out the door! When we got to the dr office she did a quick ultrasound and said that little miss Kenzie was in position, head down face back, perfect. When after examining me she had some concerns. I guess baby K is not that far down, no changes, no dialation, thinning or anything. She said since I was this far along (being due in days) that something should be happening. Apparently if i dont go into "natural" labor on my own before Friday, we are scheduling a c-section for next Friday. Looking positive we will have our daughter by Friday night
Renee I hope Kayla is going ok. Before I got further along from time to time they would have a hard time getting a hearbeat.
Jan- with all the flowers you have been planting I would love to see pics after they are in full bloom. I bet they will be gorgeous!!!!
I hope everyone is doing great. Have a great Valentines' Day!
Megan
