WHATS HAPPENING THURSDAY

Today we got a propane tank set and filled with gas...want there to be a way to heat the  house if there is another ice storm so pipes wont freeze or at least there is a way to keep warm and to cook ....when we leave we will leave the keys to our house with someone and they will have a warm place too.

We spent the rest of the day digging ditches and burying the gas line ...

I got packages of seeds ready to send out to several people that wanted them so have to take them to the post office tomorrow I guess.  Remember if you don’t know something about a flower or something that you can google it and it will let you know where to plant and all about it. ok...so far I have 11 people that are wanting seeds ...

 

Just got off the phone with Andy ....his computer crashed this morning. He said he had been working on it all day....i know how he feels no computer is a horrible feeling ...lol

Anyway hopefully he gets it fixed soon...Bec would appreciate you doing the post . can you do that for him till he maybe gets his fixed....I gave him my sons phone number so he could maybe get some new ideas about how to fix it. ....i wonder if he got a virus or something. My protector thing said that it captured 63 of the buggers today....dont know what they were but at least it caught them.

 

 

Man we are finally getting our truck back tomorrow...they have had it for almost a week , first they couldn’t get something out and had to send that part off and then something else. No matter what we are going to go get it tomorrow...if it still needs anything else we will take it somewhere else.

 

Jo maybe watching Biggest looser will get you going to the gym more lol ....sure wish I had one close enough to go to....

 

Colette I didn’t get an email from you....sorry...

Jan...

I hope that you got my email and that I was one of the 11 wanting seeds!  I cannot wait to get them.....

Slightly overcast here.....  sipping on my coffee before I hit the shower and then on to work.....  glad that it is Thursday, which means that I only have today, tomorrow and half a day Saturday before I get to take a break from work....   this past week has been a heavy hitter and I so need a break.  I have been working the last 3 Saturdays to cover for those who are on vacation.....

Hope everyone is doing fine.....    and having a wonderful morning!

Good Morning All...

Have been studying alot the past few days and my pea brain is fuddled! ~ha  Oh gee willikers I slept till 7:00 a.m. this morning and still have not gone out to walk... I will have to get right on that... don't know what got into me... I even dozed two different times yesterday too!  That's not like me but I guess it's harder to work your brain than it is your body! ~tee hee at least mine I guess!

Mimi ~ the craft show is in Ozark... they have that big one every year.  Next year I'm going to plan to go to the one in Blue Mound KS.  Debbie Darl'n says it wonderful, and I've been to the one in Ozark several times...seems like they have alot of the same things... and now there is so many "products" instead of real hand made crafts.  I think Deb told me that the one in Blue Mound are required to be hand made... if my memory serves me right?

Any way I have to go down early and do a "job" for my sil... I wanted to show her I appreciated the nice clothes she gave me... so will be right busy that whole week.

Need to get out there and plant the mums AJ gave me and also take some clothes to a neighbor... her daughter lives in an assisted village and will distribute them around.

Paul is spreading lime again today on the field and will over seed the grass out there... he sure is wanting to get a calf next year... now you know what will happen... he will get attached to her and not want to let her go when it is time... he really would like to grow her up and have her have a calf... oh dear!  I don't guess he will be carrying that cow around on his shoulder like he does the chickens! ~tee hee  Yesterday a co~worker brought him a rooster! Oh dear... he has been wanting one since we got the chicks in the spring...  I said we was going to name him "Fryer" like someone else I read about... but he named him Theo. just not fitting if that rooster jumps me!!!  "Fryer" will be far more appropriate!!!  He was out there this morning crowing away!  And he is already protective of his "ladies" so to speak... He came up and pecked Paul when he picked up Tess... he can just get used to that though because Tess is Paul's favorite and he is always carrying her around... Theo is just going to have to get used to it.... but he does have some nasty spurs!  He sure better keep them to himself!

Am thinking of Janet these past few days and in hopes that all is well with her. Renee too.

Have to do some cooking today as I have NOTHING to give Paul so I better see what I can do about that.

The weather is nice and cool here this morning.  Hope you all have a good and wonderful day!

Bec

HAHAh Bec you crack me up with the chicken names, it sounds like your talking about kids. ;)  Fair Grove has a HUGE craft festival On Sept 26-27  I think its called the heritage reunion, its big I mean BIG! ;) Lou

Good morning!  I looooooooveeeee fall and football! ;)  I have floor duty this afternoon and I'm going to meet my girlfriend for lunch.  Then I need to hit the mall and find something to wear to my 20Th class reunion next weekend.  This month is really flying by.  2 more weeks and Frank and I will be in Arizona.  I can hardly wait.  I haven't seen my friend in 12 years.  When we lived in Arizona and moved she moved to Alaska.  Now she's back in AZ.  I've been busy playing taxi driver for Jade.  She's the going-est kid.  Take me here, I need to go there, can you pick me up.  Good grief!  I have 4 Oz's to loose then I'll be in the 180's.  So that means I'm getting closer and closer to goal.  I feel fantastic!  My 12's are starting to get a little big on me and that's exciting too.  I'm going to the health food store today and get the stuff to make Pam's ( off the RNY page) protein chai tea.  I see everyone talking about how good it is and I LOVE chai.   If you haven't had it, it reminds me of pumpkin spice.  The recipe is easy and it makes alot and then you just use half a cup to make your drink.  I'll let you know how it turns out. 

Jan  I appreciate you sending the emails out.  About leading the meetings, I don't mind to take turns with someone else, but like I was saying I've got alot going on too.  I will talk to you about it at the meeting.  I can't wait to see Dr. Hawes I'm planning my plastic surgery in about 6 months. 

Jo I reordered my Click off Amazon and they are out again!  The secret is out!  I'm going to ship some to my dad's in AZ so I won't have to bother with it on the plane.  I hope all is well with you!

I hope everyone has a wonderful day, I have to get in the shower and get motivated.  On mornings like this its easy to want to stay in bed where its warm!  ;) Lou

Dear Aunt Jan and OH Peeps,
Hi there. Wow has it been crazy here.....Yes, Jan I have been taking care of myself-but man....it gets hard sometimes. I am feeling VERY overwhelmed, and I am afraid-depressed. I am trying so very hard to get a grip on it-but it doesnt seem to matter what I do-I just cant snap out of it. I just feel like giving up-the fight seems to be never-ending and it just doesnt seem to ever change. Whats a person to do?

I know-they say that the Lord never gives you more than you can handle-but, I have got to tell you-I dont believe it anymore. I KNOW my shoulders are half the size they were 3 yrs ago-but for some reason-they should be the size of the Grand Canyon for all the crap getting thrown on me. Of which, I dont have control over any of it....so I know, I know. Why worry or what can you do about it if you cant control it? Well, you still have to deal with it-to fix it....

So, Im having problems with Jons doctor and his urinary problems. They are giving me the run around while my child gets worse and worse. He has now been to 2 docs and we are getting ready to see the third and I believe this one will  be the answer......at least I feel peaceful that she is. I guess I have no other choice but to be positive, but the faith in the medical field is truly being tested and its not fairing very well. I hate to see Jon suffer so, its affecting his personality and his mental being and it just sucks big time! I HATE IT!!!!

I finally got to see the good GYN that agreed to take my ins and write off what the 2ndary would be billed since they dont accept it. She is wonderful, but like I said before, I had to start all over. She decided at the first visit to do a biopsy and I had to be cathetirized, and I have to say-it was the worst one yet and hurt like hell. I am STILL having problems and its been 8 days now. Cramping and just issues...most females reading this will know what I am talking about without my going into great details. I got the results back-and now I have MORE tests to do. I have to go do the ultrasound and transvaginal-and then we will order/schedule the hysterectomy. Here is the kicker, she wanted it done ASAP-and as luck would have it-our vehicles tranny went out this weekend while we were in Stockton camping. Yep.....so I cant drive it right now and everyone had too much to do to give me rides. I have to wait till next week and pray like hell that Mike can fix it this weekend or trade out the tranny-which we do have a spare one-and so we at least have one.......not very comforting thought when you dont know HOW your going to do the huge job alone, ya know?

I need to get the sale over and done with, and everyone who says they will come help me-they dont. I get frustrated and do it myself for a day or two and then I am down for a week because of the pain in my back.........

I know-big ol' pity party for Jan, huh? Trust me, I am thinking the same thing about myself right now-suck it up you big baby... LOL.....Why am I whining and b*tching and moaning so much? I dont know-just so tired of the BS...........Know I can come here and blow off steam and for the most part, be safe.

I guess I am just overwhelmed because there is NOT ONE AREA of my life right now that isnt affected by some sort of something......the fight...medical, relationships, money, vehicles, house, stuff for the sale, the garage, the kids, you know-ALL of it-all of it....its just truly truly overwhelming. Then to top it off-I put off the tummy tuck to do the hysterectomy first-because they said that I may lose my belly button-and for the hysterectomy, they were going to go through my belly button and do it laproscopic...right? Well, I find out that I cannot have it laproscopic. I am going to be cut from side to side-because of all the scar tissue from 3 c-sections. They are NOT going to be able to do it lap. So I am really bummed out! I would have the tummy tuck over and done with-IF one of the two GYNs I have already seen-would have freaking told me that I would have had to do the hysterectomy open.........ARGH!

I really really want to get the book done.....and I cant even get into that.....I have MADE myself get in here and work on it, but my heart just isnt in it anymore. I want it to be, but its not! Plus now my days are just....alone. lonely. I dont feel like I have a purpose during the day...you know? I have signed up for everything there is at the school-to be a volunteer......I am going to hopefully soon have a schedule to be there at certain times during the week to be a teachers assistant-just waiting for the surgery to be over with so that I can be permanent there.

Well, I better get.....Im not even sure I want to post this-lol... I feel like such a whiney cat-but I do know that whenever I was here pre-op and whenever I have needed prayer-that I could always come here for support, love and understanding and so I know that its best to be honest and just take the advice...the prayers and the love and know that it will pass.... I hope, soon.  I love and appreciate all of you.  Janet

Janet, I don't how far you live from Kansas City, but you might consider bringing your son to Children's Mercy Hospital.  It is a great facility with the best doctors.

Janet,
You are not a whiney cat!!! Never have been and never will be. You just have had an incredibly heavy load to carry for quite some time now. You are right that we love you and continue to pray for you and want only good and wonderful things in your life. Any of the single things that have happened to you would probably make me more crazy!!! And you've had tons of them. It's good to have a place to come and share our joys and concerns and to remember that we are a family of non-judgemental loving souls that care for our sisters and brothers. I love you and so do many others.
Hugs,
Lana

Jan, I was motivated to exercise when I added my exercise to the daily plate and it subtracted calories.  I was at 1239 calories and the exercise brought it down to 1100 something.

I'm really working on keeping the carbs out.  Those darn things are in everything good!!
