WHATS HAPPENING MONDAY
Sunday was really pretty but cold....dont mind the cold nearly as much when it is sunny like today was....
Made it thru the night with the kiddos just fine...they are really pretty good kids......we got up had breakfast and got dressed and started to Springfield to go to the garden show....on the way the baby got car sick and uhoh all over ....good thing I was prepared for such a thing...stripped her off put everything in a bag and tied it up ...threw it into the back...cleaned her and everything. Redressed her and away we go again....though the older one , the little boy was going to get sick but Joe got him out and walked him around while I got Mikaela cleaned up and sprayed the truck all was well. And we continued on to the garden show....started to see if they would be ok without being confined in a stroller but didn’t take me long to decide I couldnt look at anything running thru the show like that...lol ...so Joe when out and got the stroller and he took off with them so I could look at some stuff met up with him and ask if there was anything he saw he wanted to go back and look at ....i took off with the babies in the stroller so he could go check out some things. He came back with me a flower stand that is really different...cant explain it will get pots on it and take a picture of it. saw my brother and his wife there. I didn’t even think about him
till I almost walked on him....saw a couple of other friends that I know from gardening classes etc...the flowers they had were way too expensive so didn’t buy any of them
well the picking up time for the babies was suppose to be about 5pm as I am writing this it is almost 10 and they still aren’t here. Oh they have called a few times to see how they are doing but still not here. I guess getting things moved is taking longer than it would for me....both of them my granddaughter and her husband are both slow as molasses....sure hope the kids don’t turn out that slow but if I would bet Brendan will be just like his dad...but I do believe Mikaela will be faster than the rest of them lol....
SUSIE::::: you and me both on those elect bills....and like you said it isn’t going to get less in years tocome. We are thnking very seriously about solor or wind turbine or something...even if we didn’t stay here forever it would make a good sale point for the buyer...so I think it would be one of those things that would get back more than what you paid for it...
BEC::::: sounds like you had a wonderful visit with Sandy....I met her about 2 years ago at the first Reunion...i hope to see her again some day soon....maybe at the July picnic in the park in Sedalia.... hoprfully we get to have that again....anyway....i am so glad that she was able to help you see more than fat on you....I know you have to be looking good....if you look like you did in that picture you sent me long ago then you are looking wonderful.....
LOU:::::: wow your pictures are getting skinny lol you are beautiful....love that face that is appearing. Lol
I remember when I was working and you work harder when you are off work than you do when you are at work lol
See you and Mama tomorrow....has been awhile since we all saw each other....wow ....
LOVE AND HUGS
GOD BLESS EXPECT A MIRACLE

Couldn't sleep and happen to notice my internet had kicked in again so I thought Id get on for a bit and post.....
Guess my sleeplessness is coming from having my son on my mind.....A few people got caught using their free time in a not so nice of manner and the whole group got to pay for it....They lost all privliges down to their phones and passes....So for the past 5 weeks or so he's not got to talk to us very much and hasn't had a pass where we could go up and see him...They have even held their mail several times....It's really gotten to him and he's starting to seem a lil depressed..... And on top of all that he's having a lil bit of trouble getting in all his pushups.....He only likes a few hitting what he needs but just cant seem to get there and the finally PT test will be coming up soon as they will be graduating April 16th...If he dont make it he wont graduate when he is suppose to and will have to stay longer and that is really getting him down....I tried to tell him today when we talked that all he can do is do his best....He said I am mom...I try to give it my all each time but it don't seem to be getting me where I need to be and I want so bad to do good.....So if yall will please pray for Bubba...That he can hold up to this challange mentally and physically.....
Well I hate that I haven't been able to be online in so long...I don't even know what's what with everyone..lol lol.....I hope you have all been doing good.....
I know from text messages that Janets been on cloud nine.....I am so glad things went well for both momma and baby!!!.....Now the spoiling begins lol lol.....
Well I guess Ill close for now....I hope you all have a great Monday
God Bless each of you.....Luv & Hugs...Tammy~ammy

Mimi ~ I did have a wonderful visit with Sandy... and I'm so looking forward to the day with Peggy as well.
Next week my mother in law is to be coming with a friend for a few days... but in that case I believe it when she is actually at the door! ~ha
Oh my dear lady all I do see still is fat fat fat and it seems to be coming off so slow ... but I can thank the Lord it is coming off. I've tried everything I can think of and all everyone has suggested and it still comes off slow... I guess I need to just forget it and let what will be... be. I'm going to go get that pic I sent you and ask Paul if I look like that now? I know that I can not be objective about it...
Today is a routine day... nothing special happening... it won't be long at all and it will be time for your alls appts/picnic I think last year it was around the 1st of June wasn't it? I guess I could look back and see... When is your surgiversary date? I know it was at the first of the month because we all went to the support group meeting that Sunday evening.... wonder if that will work out again?
Did you see anything new at garden show...anything new you are going to do this year? Oh too bad about the wee one chucking all over but sounds like you handled it! ~ha
Well better get off here and get ready to walk ... going out as soon as it's light today... and going to start timing myself and see if I can encourage myself to keep my heart rate up that way.... I can get sidetracked easily if I'm not careful. ~ha I bet you find that hard to believe! ~tee hee
Love you my friend and a good day of blessing to all!

Bec,I would bet if I saw you today I would be able to see a big difference in you. I am the same way ,I still see myself as fat. I do still have a lot of fat. I cannot seem to wrap my mind around being smaller. I am buying smaller clothes but it doesn't look that way to me. I try some things on that are extra large and they are to small and some mediums fit me. It doesn't make sense. I admire you for your exercise routine. I wish I was so dedicated. You are building muscle and you have to remember muscle weights more than fat. I look at the scale and see that huge mumber and think Oh no That is way too much. I know I have lost but it happening so slow I guess I can't see it.People keep telling me how much smaller I look but because I see myself everyday I do not see it. I know how you feel. Some people are lucky enough to lose really fast. Some of us not so fast. We just have to keep telling ourselves we are losing. That is more than we did before and this time it will stay off. I figure five pounds a month is five gone forever.
I am having a hard time looking in the mirror. My face is changing more than I would like. I have aged at least ten years in the past three months. I have sags and wrinkles that the fat used to fill out. I was afraid this would happen. I didn't want to age this fast.
I have to go see the orthodontist today ,won't be doing much chewing for the next few days. I am almost sorry I got these braces. I expect to have them for another year. If I had my time to go over I might not get them. I do have them so I have to deal with it. I will definatly have a crunchy food party when they come off. I will eat beef jerky all day.
Have agreat day everyone,
Suz,
I suppose you are right when I go back and look at the pic on my profile where I'm holding the plate I can see a difference but when I've seen any other pic I just see my fat fat face! It's why I don't change my Avatar... I don't want to look at my own fat face every time I write a post! ~ha
I lost 12 lbs this month...that's not all that good but it's not real bad either...I guess. I think my neck is aging. I do those chin exercises and use a good vit e cream but I don't know that it is helping very much. Paul says I'm getting crows feet too. Bless HIM!!! ~tee hee
I went back and looked at your pre~surgery pics and I could tell a big difference in you. I guess it's true we just cannot see ourselves like we really are.
When I step away and take a "serious" look this whole journey I have to kinda feel ashamed of myself that I'm not happier with the results because I already accomplished the REAL reason for the surgery and that is all the health problems that have been "resolved" for that I am incredibly incredibly thankful!
We dear lady will persevere in this on going journey and I'm quite sure will meet our goals and when we do we may just look back and see how we fretted for nothing.

Finally got home from another busy day and wanted to see how everybody is doing. It's actually pretty nice up here today. Still cool but not freezing and the sunshine is beautiful. But it just makes me want Spring to get here...NOW!!
My doctor's appointment was interesting. I have to go in for another test in the morning. A pelvic ultrasound....which means lots of water and no bathroom. At least it's fairly early in the morning. And she took some blood. I am so thankful that she listens to me and doesn't blow me off. She said the hair loss could be the thyroid or it could be hormones since I am having issues. So we'll see what the US shows and if I need any kind of treatment or more tests. I want to get all this under control so I can look at having my panni removed at the end of the year. It's always something.
I plan on going to the farm tomorrow and Wednesday. I really want to get the sale done so I have got to get those rooms emptied. I'm pretty sure the possum mob won't be lying in wait so I hope to hit it hard. The respirator really helps, too. I haven't been as sick as I was when I didn't wear it.
Sounds like everybody is so busy....anybody heard from Janet? Just wondering how Miss Mackenzie is doing. And if Megan is home and how she is healing. I'm sure there is tons of cuddling going on at the Corbett home. I'm so jealous.....
I should get busy....I know that man is going to want dinner when he gets home and I have a few things that need to get done. Hope you all are doing well...
Love you all
