WHATS HAPPENING FRIDAY
Well good grief Thursday I stayed in my p.js all day long…didn’t get outside because I couldn’t. poured down all day. I filed and filed away paid bills, insurance policies, medical amounts that have been paid etc etc. all the stuff that get piled and piled up in the file basket . I hate doing that job but it is something I try to make myself do at least once a month.
I made some protein soufflés too ….im trying to eat lots of protein this week to prepare for my surgery ….the more the better I will heal after surgery.
So I have been getting in about 100 gram a day….and lots of water ….about 90 oz a day. I want my body to be in good shape by Tuesday , well hydrated and good protein in system.
My lord it sure is raining Thursday night. I don’t know why we are having so much rain, I guess this rain today and tonight will put it over as the wettest Oct or second wettest ever.
I was wanting to help Joe fix the chickens new coop and pen. We are going to divide the garden in half. We really don’t need that big of garden just for us so if we put the chickens in one side one year and garden on the other side and then the next year we can switch sides , that way they can fertalize the other side and make it weedless. Lol
Do you all know that you can watch t,v. shows on your computer? I didn’t know that until today , I was upset that my tv. didn’t record last weeks survivor so went on line and found the online place. Got to watch the whole show… so now when I can****ch something because it is on the same time as something else I can still watch it. Yea!!!!! It is called
Suppose to rain all day Friday too….but then is suppose to be pretty for at least a week oh boy and I will be flat of my back in the hospital ,,,,darn it. I wanted to help Joe build that coop and all and now wouldn’t be able to. Darn it anyway….
don’t know what is going to happen about the Christmas party….Janet is having surgery on the 10th so hopefully she will be able to help Sugar….I havent heard anymore from them about when or where….as soon as they tell me something I will make sure all of you know it ok?? And even tho it is started from COF doesn’t mean that is the only ones that can come…we are inviting all of you on this board. …anyone that lurks or posts anyone ok???just let us know if you are coming so we will know how many to plan for.
JANET::::: so happy that you got the compliments from the teacher about Jon, doesn’t that make you feel good I know I have a note from the pastor and Sunday school teachers that were in charge of church camp one year about what wonderful and beautiful children I had….has always been one of my most cherished things.
Hey congratulations on getting up into that tree stand by yourself…just goes to show you that we are never too old to gather our nerve and do something that scares us…not that you are old didn’t mean that. Lol
Im so happy that you and Steph have the relationship that you always wanted with her. That is great. There is nothing like the mother , daughter bond when it is good.
Cant wait to see the pictures of the two grandbabies of yours and Renees. We know what ever the plan is it will be cute pictures.
I will be praying for you on the 10th , remember my surgery on the 3rd. I have butterflies in my tummy about it. don’t know why just a little worried , maybe it is just the fact that I know how much it is going to hurt lol hope that is all it is…I will make sure I am prayed up for sure and right with God before my surgery….I have complete faith in my surgeon .

GOD BLESS YOU TODAY

Mimi~ I am praying for your upcoming surgery... if Joe will call me I will be glad to post how you are doing. Am praying for the success of the procedure, a quick recovery and patience as you will have to be down for a bit, I know that's hard for you, as mini pain as possible as you do the rehab as well. Don't be nervous..."iz all good!"
Just wanted to jump on here this morning before I head off to the dentist....UGH!!! to have a filling done...it's in the top of the tooth! It's just started to "hurt" so to speak... good thing I had this appt for over a month... this doc is a busy man. Paul will have some work done too... I was a good girl and took my sedative last night and stumbled around here like a full blown drunk! ~tee hee... boy but I slept like I haven't in many many a moon....well since the last time I had to see the dentist ~tee hee Will take another sedative about an hour before I have the appt. too. It really really helps me not to be so nervous and not shake right out of the chair... That digging around with the needle in my mouth just makes me insane for sure! I hope this is the last work I will need done for some time?
Paul and I went down yesterday to get the last BIG load from his mom's farm... we looked like Sanford and Son in a newer rig but hauling the same "gems" if you will... I just kept shaking my head at how much trouble I was going to be in if something happens to Paul! We now have 5 tractors setting on the place...oh dear...all sorts of cattle equipment... and much much more!!! and more! and more! and more! just silly for a seven acre "farm" ~tee hee
Janet~ I am praying for your upcoming surgery and hoping nothing else comes up... will love to see you write that you are feeling so much better with these issues out of the way! It's also simply great that your family is doing so well! I remember some days you were dragging over such heavy issues...so glad to "see" such a beautiful "smile" in your written words
!Crystal and I are going to work in the garage tomorrow getting all the Fall put away and things straightened before we haul all the Christmas down... I have to put all my yard ornaments, pots and such away too... I found a lighted nativity on a local web site for $15 in the summer and a snowman too... so I am looking forward to putting those out this year... also got enough greenery to wrap my fountain to look like a tree... will be fun decorating that this year. I have a great great big wreath I will be making for my living room to go along with two trees to go on each side... it will be fun to get it all out again...I'm going to stop by and get some Southern Comfort Eggnog for my daughter and then the ingredients to make my version. She will have that Christmas music on the first thing Saturday morning I KNOW! ~tee hee...she has been wanting to put it on for a month now and I said not till November 1st at least. ~ha She still will be a day early... oh dear! I hope to get a few more pieces done this year that I should of done a long long time ago. We will see. My bible study group will be coming in for a brunch on December 15 and then I am hoping for a visit from a wonderful friend and her husband on the 19th if at all possible! ;)
Well I better get myself ready for the dreaded appt... hope you all have a much much better day than morning I will have....
Blessings to all.

Its COLD again this morning... When will this madness end? I know, dont answer-not until spring. I know, I know! It stinks, I have been getting up and taking the boys down to the bus stop because of the rain, wind and cold. Mommys way of TRYING to keep those darn sinuses, colds, sickness and whatever else from creeping into this household! So far.....so good (knock on wood AND Thanking God).... I am happy that I have made the boys fanatics about using hand sanitizer! LOL....they are CONSTANTLY using it, and I have it all over the house! Nuff' said. They did a big report on hand sanitizer and the stuff with a lot of alcohol, when rubbed around for at least till the count of 6, works best at killing germs....YAY YAY YAY...
Have a somewhat busy day. Yuck.....Wi**** were warmer out there. All week at school they have been doing spirit week, with each day being a different theme, like pajama day, silly sock day, hat day.....well, yesterday Jon forgot his hat...right when he remembered the bus came bounding round the corner...Jon crying. Mom telling Jon-I will TRY and bring it to school, dont cry buddy......So, Mom HAS to take it to school, she told him, right? So.....2 hrs later-I figure, well, its not going to stop raining and its not going to warm up-just get yer butt out there and take him the darn hat. I go-and wouldnt you know it, as Murphys Law has it (notice im smiling,lol) As I walk out of the school, I open the door- the earth opens up, thunder, lightning and raining so hard I cant hardly see where I am walking! Needless to say, I was soaked to the bone just for unlocking my door on the gmc. WOWZA! They said they literally cant remember it raining this hard....it was like a WALL OF RAIN...Like a waterfall, full force, coming off buildings and such! It was wild. I ended up pulling over, when going 20 mph, I couldnt see! We have flooding again!
I gotta get ready to get my day going and get outta here! Yikes....ok. so, I hope everyone is doing great. Where is everyone? LOL...I come back and Im the only one there? Glad to see Bec today.
**Bec-I am praying for you. I know how you love the dentist! Im so sorry you have that issue....at least you have a dentist who is willing to give u a sedative. Never thought about that....may have to do that myself. Anyway-thoughts and prayers are with you. Love you!
**Jan-you are going to do great with your surgery! YOU WILL...... you know its gonna hurt like the dickens, thats WHY your feeling like that. Plus-you know that Joe will be helping "torture Tad" or whatever his name was-torture you-lol..... Its most likely the only time joe gets away with inflicting pain upon you without you beating him silly-LOL..... (wink wink)
Well, peeps, Im off. I pray that you are all safe, happy and healthy! I love you all. Love, Janet
Hi everyone,
Well still waiting to hear from Drs. office for 1st app. We decided to wait till next Friday b4 we start calling. Got our Humana 2010 books is the mail and the only changes I see are the Co-pay for Hospital stay is going down some, so I think if I don't have surgery til after the 1st of 2010, it will cost me less.
Well got really good news from my middle son, they have been looking to move, because the place they live in is just too small for 8 people, and the landlord won't get the things needed to fix the kitchen they had to tear the cabinets out because they couldn't get rid of the roaches that were left by the previous renter. They rebuilt the bathroom and one of the bedrooms that leaked so bad everything was wet and never asked for a dime, Matt even put new tile on the bathroom floor, kitchen floor, and carpet in the bedroom, he got it for nothing because they were left-overs from jobs he had done, but the landlord never gave him credit for getting that done and after the tearing out the cabinets in the kitchen he put new drywall in and painted all at his own cost, but couldn't afford the cabinets. Anyway, they found a house and are moving in this week. They are both excited and I think they have already got most of the packing done.
Janet-Congrats on having such good news about Jon. I think it is so satisfying when someone lets you know you are doing a great job as a parent. I'm glad to hear you're staying actively involved in school programs, it means a lot to the children when parents do that.
Got a bit of a sore throat think I'm getting a cold, so gonna get off here and go lay down for awhile. Hope eveyone has a good weekend. Hope we don't get too cold for awhile.
Had the downpour rain last night too. Went to SAMS to get Calcium and it was just pouring when we came out. DH, John, had surgery on his left thumb/hand on the 23rd and has an awful huge bandage on it. It was because the joint at the base of his thumb/wrist was just gone. The Dr. took a tendon from his lower arm and made a coil from it to replace the socket that he had to remove. He said there was more arthritis than he had been able to see on the xray - most severe he'd ever seen - and so he put a temporary pin in it to hold it in place until it heals. It's very frustrating, as any of you who've had casts or immobilizers know. He goes Monday to change bandage and hopefully get a smaller one. He's a little squeamish about the pin because it wasn't expected but I know he's glad it's done. He planned to have his right hand done as soon as this is healed but he hasn't mentioned that since so he may want to wait a little longer.
I will be praying for all the upcoming surgeries. Having surgeons you feel confident in helps so much. I had a dermatologist's appointment yesterday and even with all the tanning I do I passed with flying colors. He's really a sweetie - if anyone needs a St. John's derm his name is Penella.
I tried to donate blood last weekend but my Iron was too low for them. You know they want your iron much higher than the doctor's office. The woman there told me she'd been hospitalized for anemia and after they got it back up she started taking Flintstones so I added a chewable Flintstone to my daily hunk of pills!!
Can't hurt!!!
Hugs and loveys to all.
