WHATS HAPPENING THURSDAY
Oh wow wasn’t Wednesday beautiful??? Sort of cool but so bright and pretty. But I guess that is about all we are suppose to have for awhile. Im like Jeanie said I think someone moved us to Washington.
I am really really tired of gloomy and dull daily ….one day pretty and 6 gloomy. But don’t guess there is muce I can do about it.
I went to my sleep clinic today and things seem to be going ok….we got to talking to and she agreed with me that with Joes snoreing like I say he does that he has to have some sort of sleeping disorder. Anyway he is wearing a ox meter tonight then we went to his doctor to check on his labs….his cholestrol is higher than it was and so is his tryglercides. I told his doctor that if he wouldn’t eat all the sweets he does he might not have all of that wrong. Anyway he got put on some meds for the tryglercides too …good grief he is falling apart. Lol
I just don’t know what we are going to do while it is raining so much. I guess we can do what we can inside the houses for any things. I did put some more mums into the ground yesterday that I had in pots out by the Cooks corner sign. We mostly after getting home yesterday just sat in the sun lol …we should have gotten a lot of things done but it was so nice and warm that we just wanted to sit in the sun and relax so we did lol
We did some measuring of the back porch and figured up the amount of materials that we will need to sort of close it in.. with windows that raise so you can have screen when you want it. ….guess I would have to put in a doggy door for sure cause our dog would think he was being mistreated if we didn’t let him in there.
Our little renters were home this afternoon , she is pregnant and is such a tiny little thing that being pregnant is really showing on her big time. They are so cute…..when there is something wrong with the house they are so timid about telling us . Lol sweet little kids….make you want to hug them. So young, she is 18 and he is 21.they were told at first they were having a boy and they were so excited and happy but had another ultrasound and they say it is a girl. Now they are so disappointed ….I had to laugh at them and asked them why be upset about it ….it is their baby for sure. ….and you sure cant give them back even tho there are times that you would really like to do that sometimes lol
SUSIE:::::I would have gotten both of my knees done at the same time but I couldn’t find any surgeon to do it , use to a lot of them did but they don’t want to anymore.
Sounds like you are getting geared up to be a sexy hot mama when you get done lol
Collette: ::::thanks for the prayers I will need it .
As soon as I am awake enough I will get on here and post about it ….so if you don’t hear from me within a day ….I am planning on my thanksgiving dinner and what each one of them will be bringing since it wont be too long after surgery….November and December both will be busy months for us as well as most every one else.
JEANIE RAE:::::Jeanie basically that was the concept when COF was formed….a circle of friends sitting around in a circle talking out their problems. We didn’t want it to be lectures from supposedly experts …
Anyway those have a purpose but I love it just to talk amoung ourselves don’t you?
Was going to tell all of you that with all the flu going around , get some saline solution and spray your nasal passages at least 3 times a day, and gargle with some warm sal****er. At least a couple times a day….and wash your hands a lot. If you do those three things you will cut your chances of getting the flu a lot.
Take care everyone. Love you. All a lot.

I KNOW its been awhile, for that Im sorry! Its been a whirlwind week! ARGH! Wish I felt better, but Im in here posting anyway. Feeling gloomy like this stupid weather! Its just disgusting! Gray, raining, windy......gheesh!
Its been a week-last Thurs evening was our parent teacher conferences-and they went FABULOUS! I ended up in tears-Jons teacher said HE IS one of the best students she has EVER had! She thanked Mike and I for raising such a respectful and respectable child and for being the kind of parents we are!!!! Oh God, thank you so much! That just made my day, week, month, year, life! LOL..... She said that he is the only student that hasnt gotten ANY yellow or red lights for behavior-ALL of his are green and even double green.....(daily they are given a mark at how well they were and its sent home on a calender in their folder and we sign them each week). She said that she used Jons work as examples to other parents as to HOW their child SHOULD be writing etc right now and showed us the xerox copies of what she was handing out. She showed us his award for the best manner award for the grade! WOW WOW WOW WOW!!! When she thanked us-tears started streaming down my face....I felt like an idiot, but its like I told her-It just means a lot to know that YOU ARE making a difference AND that HOW your raising your child IS recognized! I kept waiting for the but.....and there was none. He is well liked by ALL his classmates, and his ONE special friend-Abbie-and him, are inseperable! LOL....they want to do sleepovers-they dont even think about the other being the opposite sex-they ARE the best of friends! She adores Jon as much as he adores her! LOL....I can see it now...lol....shes a little cutie too-long blonde beautiful hair-just a doll....polite and funny, always right there when I go for lunch.
So, tomorrow is the BIG Halloween party I am doing for his class. I cant wait! I wish I felt better. The female pain, mixed with the back, arthritis etc-is enough to make me want to pull out my hair, but hey....it will take my mind off it, right? LOL...either that or make me wanna throw myself in traffic! I am also helping with the book fair all next week and then after I recover from surgery, I am going to be a weekly reader/teacher assistant for Jons class and occasionally the other classes IF they need me or want me. Im looking forward to it.
Sat I went out with Mike hunting. I got up in the tree stand 15 feet high-ALL BY MYSELF! He didnt even have to stand right behind me! He stayed on the ground and I did it....in a pretty fast way too! YAY YAY YAY! Im so afraid of heights and I just told myself that I wasnt going to be a prisoner anymore-and that was that. Im NOT saying that I can go on the roof of the house or anything like that, but I can now master the tree stand! YAY! We were there for 5 hrs and it was awesome to watch the raccoons, the baby chipmunks, the squirrels and such all playing and having a grand time. How relaxing. I started falling asleep a couple times and Mike would lean into me and jar me back to reality! Thank goodness-head first out of that tree stand would have been some serious pain! LOL....well, not LOL, but you know what I mean!
Stephanie came for dinner last night. It was so awesome! I just could cry when I think of how close we are now-and how bad things were between us 2 yrs ago! I had given up on our relationship and pretty much figured I didnt have a youngest daughter anymore-she belonged to my ex and his family, not me anymore-and today-her and I are so tight and we both thank God, together and seperately-for the restoration in our relationship and for our bond!!! GOD IS SOOOO GOOD! I thank him, endlessly-for restoring our relationship! I love that girl so much! My heart BROKE when we went through our bad times and she moved out. I had only ever experienced that kind of pain when I went through my divorce and all the hoopla surrounding that. I really felt like my heart was broken! NOT a good feeling at all!
Well, I THOUGHT we were going to have a break through the winter months from RCing, and some nit wit with too much money rented a big old building WITHIN 5 miles of MY HOUSE-and he is making an indoor track!!!! ARGH ARGH, ARGH! AND....its going to be ready in about 2.5-3 weeks. A lot of the big timers are spending the weekends helping out...which is where Mike was most of Sunday. He asked me if I wanted to go help-and I told him if he took me with him, that I was going to kick Toby and Shawn square in the *ss's!! They KNOW now that when they see me, for one, they best have their running shoes on!
So glad Renee is back! Well, I mean, I wish she were still with Lar having fun, but its going to be so awesome to see her-I havent seen her in a month or more..... (frowning). We want to get the grandbabies together and take some pics. I dont want to tell you what they are-cuz we will post them-but they are going to be absolutely adorable....but then again, how could they not-those 2 are the cutest ever! Such little personalities.....My diva stopped over Monday after she got her flu shot, and she came in the livingroom, looked at me and said-Nana, nana, nana....put her hands out and BAM.....she is on the couch next to me sitting there just staring at me-lol.... then I went and got her bag of the newest goodies I had for her-and I was showing her the new shirts and pants etc and she was just ooohhhh, awwwww, blabbering! It was sooo cute! She then put herself over the side, grabbed the coffee table (tear drop, matches the pit sofa, so no sharp edges) and she walked around and around the table, stopping occasionally, to teeth on it! LOL.....She has the cutest gap in her two top front teeth-its soooo cute! They sure came in fast once they broke through!
Today I am just trying to get some projects done before my upcoming surgery. Its Nov 10th...I could have sworn I posted that, but maybe not. Im sorry. Anyway-I have to get going and get some of those things done.
I hope everyone is doing well. I miss you all I sure hope that after my surgery I am feeling well enough to take a trip to the meeting and seeing everyone. I miss all the hugs and faces. Love and prayers to you all! Janet
