I have decided not to have the revision done at this time. After talking to Margie yesterday,I discovered that the surgery is much more serious than the first one. Higher risk of leakage and alot of unhooking and rehooking. I also was told that the expected weight loss after it is only about 30 lbs. I just decided that the risk is just to high for that amount of weight loss. So I am gonna really try to just lose it on my own. Take care and wish me luck, Tammy

Good Morning, Mama Jan & MO Peeps:

Wow, it is sooooo hot out there already.  It was 84 degrees upstairs in my house last night at 10pm!  David and I spent the evening in the basemen****ching a movie off net-flex on-line.  I wear it's about 10 degrees cooler in the basement!  I did go out and buy 2 Hunter stainless steel standing oscillating fans yesterday.  They were not that much more expensive than the cheap plastic ones and the motors have a 5 year warranty on them.  Boy, did they make a difference in our bedroom last night.  We had both of them on us.  Jake has an old box fan that is metal and is from K-Mart.  I'm pretty sure that old fan is one I had while I was growing up.  I'm going to have him use one of the oscillating ones tonight and see if it helps him. His room is always so hot!!

Luke is moving back to Emporia today and tomorrow.  Brad is moving back to Baker tomorrow.  I wish I could say I'm sorry to see them leave but I am EXCITED that they'll be OUT OF MY HOUSE!!  David and I are going to reclaim the downstairs.  We need to clean the carpet really good.  I'm going to take my steam cleaner to the bathroom and the wet bar.  David has some drywall to replace and then we'll need to paint just that one wall.  We're going to have to start staying down there during the evenings until this weather cools down.  It's just too hot!  We've already told Jake that he's not allowed to move down there until he can proof to us he can keep his room upstairs clean and his bathroom - which by the looks of it will be NEVER! lol!  Jake starts school on Friday.

We've all have bronchitis.  That is all of us except Luke.  I just finished my Z-Pack and David and Jake are about 1/2 thru their zpack.  The doctor gave us a refill for the z pack in case we need it.  I'm still coughing a little but nothing like I was.  It really stinks being sick when it's this hot!!

Mama Jan - I'm praying for you and your family.  It would be great if Michelle could find a really good friend.  I'm with you though - you need not to just jump into living with someone you just met and that includes a woman!  Maybe it is a God thing and the Lord sent this woman into Michelle's life.  He still does things like that!

Jo - Glad to hear the judge is pleased with Greg's progress.  Will keep him in my prayers too.  I've been going to ask you about The Nook you bought from your co-worker a few weeks ago.  Do you like it as much as you thought you would?  I'm seriously thinking about asking for that as a birthday/christmas gift.  Just wanting to know if you like it as much as you thought you would.

Well, I'm going to try and pick up my kitchen and living room today.  Told the boys I'd make them Janet's Chicken Enchilada's for dinner along with home made guacamole.  That's one of their favorite meals.  I made my first batch of home made guacamole a couple weeks ago and it was Delicious!  Got the recipe off the Food Network.  Even had all 4 teenagers helping me - Luke, Brad, Jake and J-May.  Even with my big country kitchen it was a little crowded with all of us in there!  lol!

MO Peeps - Really wish I could make it to the COF meeting on Friday.  Would be so great to see all of you!

Everyone stay safe and stay cool!

Debbie D.

I have to go to work this afternoon so i slept late , which is good....except i dont have time to do the stuff i wanted to do ....oh well it will be here tomorrow...found everything yesterday for the great grandsons birthday party.....except i think there will be more here than i planned so have to go back and get another couple of packages of hot dogs and buns....have enough hamburgers if we are going to do them too. I invited the little girl next door....whi*****ludes her mom too. anyway it is shaping up to be a sort of family get together for sure. the only one is missing is my daughter in AZ.

going to be extremly hot again today. Im telling you this has been the worst summer i can remember in a long long time. I remember one when i was a little girl over in the eastern part of MO. it got so hot and didnt rain and didnt rain. in the 1950s some time in there ....i remember seeing big splits in the ground...and thinking wonder if they were wider how deep they would be....lol at least we havent been that hot of course it seemed hotter then i think cause we didnt have a/c in our house....many did but we didnt.

Well Michele has found a good friend it seems....another girl that has been treated like she has . they have sorted bonded i think...she is spending all of her time with her...the girl owns a big house with an upstairs as big as the downstairs and she told Michele she could come live there and could have the whole upstairs ....She just jumps into things way to fast. I told her to wait for a couple of weeks and see . it is hard to have roommates i know . you almost have to love someone unconditionally to live in the same house with someone....whether a spouse or friend....i know my first husband was a neat freak and he would just spaz out about how i hadnt done this or that lol told him to do it himself if it bothered him that much...lol

have only one more flower bed to do and will have them pretty well set until fall then. the places i have weeded already the small little zinnias that were in there look like they have grown a good 3 inches already...so i will have more color soon. some of them are even blooming just tiny looks sort of funny ....
The ****scombs are really opening up and looking great . i noticed today that i have some pink ones and some off white ones ....weird huh? also about 3 different colors of red ...

well got to run ....need to do a bunch before i have to stop and get things ready for work....love you all

Hi Jo isnt that always the way about trying to get some extra money....there is always somewhere to spend it for sure.
Im glad your eyes are better....and the Systane is the drops that i use all the time. especially when allergies are acting up...

Hopefully the judge dismissed the ticket on your son since he seems to be working on everything.

yep sounds like Max is one of those great step dads. much like my Joe. he is so good to my kids.

What kind of a revision are you wanting? If you are looking for a RNY there are good drs in Missouri if you are looking to revise to a DS it is a little harder because there are none in Missouri or really anywhere near here.
