Morning Danni, and the rest of my TMB Family,

I am up early once again.  Just getting used to this being my regular wake up time now.  Had dreams last night about TMB and me seeing my doc.  I was telling him all the things you guys have told me here and then told him I trusted all of you more then him.  I guess it was on my mind cause I have my two year follow up with him this afternoon.  I do have some issues (constipation) but dont really feel it is worth bringing it up to someone who is just going to blow it off anyway!  Woops sorry not very nice.  I do need to do something about it though.  I dont go if I dont take Corectol!  Anywa I know TMI sorry.  We did not close on the house yesterday.  We are hoping maybe today but for sure tomorrow.  Stupid banks like to take their time.  Have a busy day between doctors appt and grocery shopping and need to take back some jeans I bought yesterday they were to small.  :(  I am hoping it was just the brand cause they were 8's and thats what I worse last time I bought jeans.  Danni I have to tell you by the pictures on FB you and Tim are so blessed.  You have each other and such a wonderful happy little family.  I really believe that when the Military moves you it only brings you closer.  Maybe thats the reason for the move?  We got our package yesterday from Dover and it is finally starting to feel real!  Meggie, my prayers and thoughts are with you.  Sounds like you are feeling a little better or I guess that could be the drugs working!  :)  You guys are all so wonderfu.  What will I do without you?  Prayers for all those in need.  Have a blessed day.  Love you guys. (62 more days)  Michelle

Hey Michelle!  You're right about one thing, moving in the military does bring you together.  Or it can tear you asunder.  I would rather be positive about the move and think about getting closer.

I drove to heck and back yesterday!  But it was great to get out of the plant, and I do love driving.  Got to go through Stephenville and saw Tarleton State University!  Wow, nice place!  I could live there, or Dublin!  They have some GREAT Vibtorian's there and some are for sale!  I wonder how much they want for them?  Think I could retire there and go to school?  The VERA is looking good right now!  Get rid of the stress, maybe start my own business, go to school.  Believe me, Im seriously thinking about it!

Therese has a Sociology of Music class that she has to learn an Irish limerick for.  She'll have to sing it to the teacher and she's having a hard time learning the words.  They say things backwards and she's finding it difficult.  She figured if she listened to it all night on repeat on her iPod, she'd learn it through osmosis!  Wonder if it worked?  She's still asleep, but she'll be awake soon, so I'll find out!  Uupp!  THere she is!  I'll ask her soon!

Well, better get to the shower and get to work!  Ya'll have a great day!!  Love ya!

GOOD MORNING! I have been up since 4, making cookies for our New Year's Day party. Its the first day of the fiscal year so we generally do something fun. I was going to make a more elaborate dessert but I was too tired last night and my foot was really hurting. I figured I'd just run to the store in the morning and get something, but then I woke up wide awake and realized I had a cake mix and icing, so I am making cookies from a cake mix recipe I have. I've got to go ice them in a minute.Thankfully they're not that tempting to me.
I'm pretty stressed this morning-no paycheck- I don't know why- when I closed my account 10 days ago they had me put the direct deposits I"d be getting, so that they could move them to the new account, but for some reason it didn't go through. So I have to try to call the bank and then payroll and see what happened. I'm trying to stay calm and pray that it gets resolved soon.

Yesterday I did really well on food-kept in my calorie range, not alot of snacking thankfully. I'm glad for that. Today I start PT on my foot. Hopefully this new device they have will break up some of the scar tissue and alleviate some pain.

Prayers for Michelle and the house closing, Meggie for a speedy recovery, Becky for her hurt knee, and all others that need them.

Gina- how did the first day go on the job???

Gotta run-icing time!

DANNI-I took an "8 to 5" type job...yea right...in a nursing home, as the Medicare Coordinator, which is basically being sure the nsg home is doing what they get paid for, but also getting paid enough for what they do. It's a job I've done, in years past..and enjoyed..but the regs have changed and I have alot to re-learn. The "plus" part is that I always know WHERE I'm working, and I still get some pt contact, while not having to do all that lifting, etc, that was really wearing on my ild body. The BAD part, of course, is not getting the "one on one" realationships with dying pts and families that I love so much. I had to make some choices, and compromises...

Good Morning Danni & TMB,

MY SON PASSED THE STATE LPN LICENSING EXAM!!!!!!!!

I screamed and cried yesterday evening when he called.  This was his third attempt.  He had missed passing it twice by two points each time.  I prayed really, really hard last Tuesday that he would pass it this time because he had become so discouraged especially after the second attempt.  I am so happy that he will be able to join the working class.

People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried about what they eat between the New Year and Christmas. ~Author Unknown
