Fabulous Friday WLS Express

(((Jenny))) our minds are powerful things, aren't they? My friend says worry or pray but don't do both- easy to say, HARD to do. Of course you are worried- that is normal-whatever normal is right? I've learned along the way that when faced with adversity normal becomes a new normal- one you never expected but find comforting when its there. You are dealing with alot. Try to take it day by day and when that is too hard, take it hour by hour- pray for whatever you need to get through the next phase and go from there. I'm praying for you all. Take care.

Whoa!  Bender driving the train TWO days this week!  WooHoo!

I'm so proud of you for those 11 lbs in 6 days!  That's like more than I've lost in the last 3 months!  You can do this - you've proved it before.  Remember Wednesday when we were looking at your old LA Invasion pics and I didn't recognize you ---- so GO KATHY GO!!

It's been a good first week of unemployment.  I haven't stressed too much - although I did promise myself I wouldn't stress at all.  I was able to get signed up for my unemployment benefits stuff yesterday.  I also found out that my severance and unpaid vacation pay won't come until Dec 15, so I had to cancel all of our auto draft bills that hit on the 1st of the month or else BoA would go into full blown tilt! LOL   Hopefully as soon as the unemployment money starts rolling in I can get them all set back up to auto pay 'cuz I'm just not the best at remembering to get them paid on time.

We'll be heading to the deer lease the afternoon when King gets off work.  Father-in-law in tow again this weekend.  Last week we left early to beat the traffic out of town, but today he has some inspection as his jobsite, so we're at the mercy of the inspectors.  We aren't planning on an early departure, but it could happen.  The weather looks great for being out and about, but still really too warm for good hunting weather.

Looking forward to next weekend - I wish I could do the Grand Prairie walk Sunday, but my schedule is full up.

Here's to a fabulous weekend for everyone!!

Jenny -  it's OK to be scared, really it is.  Sometimes it's better to be scared.  Scared can equal prepared.   If you're worried about passing some bug to Eric, get surgical masks, let Rhi decorate them up so she isn't scared of them, little stickers, some finger paint, whatever will stick to them.

I haven't walked at the park since the weather got hot.  Think I might just go do that this morning before I started packing up for the weekend!

Good morning! Kathy- I'm so impressed with your weight loss and exercise! Way to go!
I'm working from home today- Bryan has me all set up now at the computer desk instead of the lazy boy, because my early Christmas present starts today- we are having a person come clean the house 2 times a month. I'm excited!
This weekend Bryan will be putting together Chris's new bed. I have to go buy some twin sheets for him after work today.
I'm excited about the walk next Sunday night -hoping my foot will do okay. I might not make it the full 5k and I won't be running or even power walking so I'm sure I'll walk alone or with chris but that's okay. Bryan will be far ahead of us I'm sure!

Hope everyone has a great day today!

Good morning Train Riders!  Happy Friday, gearing up for a super busy weekend.  Working today and doing house stuff at the same time.  I've got to write out a menu and shopping list and do laundry during the day, then tonight I'm going to a ladies craft night at church.  I made low sugar Lemon Whipersnapper cookies for it last night and they turned out pretty good.  Tomorrow we're getting up early and heading down to Nacogdoches to see our nephew.  I think we're going to take the dogs with us so we don't have to worry about rushing back to let them out.

Sunday is church, then cooking for a Thanksgiving dinner, then hanging with the church to celebarte Thanksgiving.  Not sure what I'm going to make for that yet, it'll have to be something pretty quick that can cook in the afternoon.

Hope everyone has a fantastic day!

Debbia

I like your new name Debbia.  Give your nephew lots of kisses.

WooHoo, you go girl!! 

Congrats on the weight loss!  You're doing awesome!!  Cutting calories and exercising...hmmm...who knew? LOL  Might have to try that myself someday.  I was up 15 lbs, but have gotten 5 of it off.  I might have to do something drastic, like eat right, to get rid of the rest of it.  I'm hoping the running will take care of it though.

I've got the registration forms for the 5K filled out, and I'll be leaving here after meeting with the roofer so that I can drop them off.  We've got a big group together, and you know we ALWAYS have fun when we get together.  I can't wait!!

Prayers all around....especially for Jenny this morning....pray for you everyday, but sending a little extra your way today.  You're a really amazing woman, and I'm honored to know you. :-)

Good morning all and Happy Friday the 13th,

Yes, I am one of those that loves them.  13 is a great number for me and Friday the 13th is even better.  Woohoo.  Less then 2 weeks til I see my boy and I am so excited.  Not only did I talk to him on the phone, but I got a LONG letter (long for him) yesterday in the mail.  He is doing so well.  He's really cut out for this, just like I figured he would be.  

Jenny,  your fears are normal.  We humans can't control those stupid little thoughts from creeping in.  What we can control is our reaction to them.  You are doing a great job taking care of Eric and Rhi.  There will be ups and downs and we will be here for you and with you.  

Saying prayers for all of you.  Have a great day and a super weekend. 

Kathy,

First of all congrats on the weight loss! Woohoo! And......I love that you give a crap about your work and stuff. And the good news is that even though some of your co-workers aren't what they should be, you are! And the best part you have lots of "sistah friends" that love you just the way you are. A beautiful, smart, caring strong woman!

Your loved!

Lynnette

Good Morning OH Family!

Yes it's my morning...Did not get to bed until 3am this morning. Had a scary night. Summer called me at work while I was on break. While she was putting ear drops in Laylabugs ear cause her ear was hurting blood started pouring out and Laylabug started screaming. Summer could not get the blood to stop. She called paramedics and they took her to the er. Come to find out the when she did the dropper  a blood clot burst. They stopped the bleeding etc. We finally came home and I rocked her all night. They are at the ear dr right now. Haven't heard what they are going to do. She will be fine, it just scared us. Jenny, it's ok to worry, as long as you don't spend alllll your energy with worry. Big hug! I took off Nov 20th and 21st. Can't wait to go see Ron White with Steph and my bratty brother Clay and Six Flags on the 21st!!! Well better start getting ready for work. My interview went really well yesterday. I was a little surprised when I walked into the room and there were 8 people around the table and I had to sit in the middle. But you know me, did not phase me. I'm just ready to know something. Don't care which position I get just want to know. Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Your loved!
