Sunday WLS Express

Oh My!  That sounds lucious!!  Thanks!!

That sounds really good, I just might have to make that tonight

Thanks Lorraine

Good morning.  This weekend is flying by fast. Ben and I went to Houston yesterday to The Dump and Gallery Furniture to look at bedroom furniture.  we ended up going to sam's to get a new bedframe for my bed.  I know what bedroom suite I want and will just wait and get it later this year.  I don't want to settle. 

We went to Cleveland HS to the powerlifting meet and then got home about 4:30.   We re-did my bed once again (about the 5th time in the past 2 weeks) and then delivered an old tv and bedding to my homebound students family. 

Today is SS and church and then Ben will finish packing and go back to Aggieland this afternoon.  I am getting a little sad about that today, but will be fine in another day or two.  I just have to get used to him being gone again.  Letting your kids grow up is hard sometimes.


Danni...so glad Tim is coming home today.  I'm sure he will be glad to see all of you. 

Meggie...hope you continue to heal and get better.

I was so glad that Jenny and Eric went out last night...make life as normal as you can!

Go Liz on the move and new job!

Prayers for all others who need them.

Have a great sunday!

Good morning all.  Ready for a busy day.  After church we are having a surprise 30th birthday party for Oleta.  It will be at the Olive Garden.  The good thing is they should not be busy, as it is during the Cowboys game.  My son forgot to take into account that he will miss the game.  It was almost blown last night because all of a sudden, Oleta, who has no****ched a Cowboy game all year, wanted to watch the game.  LOL.  Then I will go home and watch the J E T S, Jets, Jets, Jets.  And of course, work tonight.

Have a great day!

Morning everyone.

I know its been a while since I have posted or even looked at the OH. I told Debi in the meeting the other night that I had I promised myself that I would reconnect this year. I really have isolated myself for the most part since my mom passed away in Aug from lung cancer that had metastasized to her brain. Life has been up and down. This was the first Christmas without my mom and it was pretty rough. I didn't let the kids know how hard it was for me. I really wanted to go all out and decorate for the holidays this year, I just couldn't do it. Its been a rough 2 years, We lost dad 2 years ago and mom this past year. It seem so surreal that they aren't here anymore. I own both of them so much.

This should be an exciting time for me this year, I'm suppose to be having my plastics next week on the 26th, but now I'm in limbo. My mammogram that I had done came up with a 6mm mass in it. They compared my older ones with the new one and its a new development. I had hopped that it was just my old scar tissue from my incident at 18. I go in for a sonogram on Tuesday, I hope to know more that day or Wed. I haven't told the kids anything, I'm waiting to find out if its nothing or not. The big C word is pretty scary. I know I have had that scare before but now it just seems more serious to me, I guess its an age thing or that I had just lost mom to cancer. I don't want to scare the kids, but I'm really worried.

It will be hit or miss with me the rest of the month due to school for work and possibly my upcoming surgery. So I want to thank everyone who has help inspire me since my start of my journey. You guys have meant so much to me. Its amazing how many new Friends that I have made from all over Oh board, you guys are the best.

Thanks you guys for being there and supporting me, even when I have been absent on the boards.

Lorraine I'm sending you hugs and prayers that the test results turn out okay.

Thanks sweetie, I've been thinking about you guys a lot.

Morning all-
We've gotten the rain y'all (in TX) had a couple of days ago, so it's gray, chilly and rainy, but at least the temps are above 40...TG!!!

I'm not really looking forward to this week!  But, Good Lord willing and the creek doesn't rise, some decisions will be made and I can stop hanging in limbo!  I hate that more than anything.  Here I was just getting into the process of putting the cigarettes back down again and WHAM-MO life happens again!  I really need to strongly focus on finding a new job back in TX and get myself moved back there!  This is a miserable existence! I'm really thinking that they will just lay me off this week (and truthfully, under the cir****tances they would be fools NOT to, but there again is a key word...FOOLS) and if so...well, whatever will be will be! I'm dealing with the stress pretty well, if you exclude whatever got into my back and started the spasms up Friday night. I will say that it is better today, I did sleep last night, thanks to a little leftover LorTab that allowed my back to relax so I could go to sleep. 

I also changed my rate plan on my phone so include unlimited texting, just cuz I don't know what is going to be happening and I may need LOTS of words of wisdom and support in the next month or so! I'm just so glad that I have you guys to bounce things off when necessary. So when you guys are adding folks to your prayer list today, would you throw my name in there too for a little while??  I may need just a little extra help in the next few weeks!  

Thanks for listening to me go on and on and on
Hugs, Mari

Mari, you are in my prayers honey.  I have a number for you, not sure if it's the right one still, PM me your digits just in case.
