Wednesday WLS Express-WOOHOO!
Good morning,
Jumping on real quick before I head to hospital. Came down last night and go a hotel room so would not have to drive back and forth. They are still waiting on bed at Baylor, hopefully he will get moved today.
Working from hospital and trying to keep warm is on my agenda today
Prayers being said for all in need.

Good Morning Gina and my TMB family,
Thank you everyone who said prayers yesterday for Darwin Cox's family and friends. THANK YOU also for keeping me in your prayers. I had a VERY hard and difficult day and I did NOT attend his funerall yesterday. It was hard enough seeing this precious young man laying in his casket on monday evening ( I was thinking that COULD have been my son there ). I felt I was better off spending time with my middle son at Teen Challenge since today is his birthday. Please keep me in your prayers the next few days. I am going to call Darwin's Momma tomorrow ( she was a babysetter for my kids when they were small and a ex neighbor ) and talk to her about her issues ( drinking and drugs ) and see if I can with God's help talk her into seeking help for her addictions. I don't want Darwin's overdose to go in vain. I know if he could talk today he would tell his Momma to PLEASE turn her life around. So PLEASE pray for God to allow her to take what I have to say to heart and give me the "right words" that will touch her. I loved this young lady as a teen and I want the besr for her.....BTW....this was her ONLY child and she is homeless and on the streets. My WOO HOO is my weight is down by a couple of lbs. and at 6 yrs. post op....I will take it !!! LOL My middle son is 26 today and I am SO grateful that he is no longer a drug addict. Thank you everyone who has prayed for him in the past and please keep doing so if you don't mind. He needs ALL the prayers he can get still. He is not quite half way through the Teen Challenge program but oh so much better. He no longer shows anger when things don't go the way he wants it to. Have a blessed day and I love you guys !!!!
Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CAN NOT CHANGE; COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT I CAN; AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE !!!! THIS IS MY DAILY PRAYER.

Just a quick HELLO this morning. It has been a busy week so far, I'm thankful it is Wednesday.
My woohoo is I've remembered to enter my meals into myfitnesspal for nearly 2 weeks and am right on target to maintain my weight.
Prayers being said for all who need them, and those who haven't asked but need them too.
Have a great day everyone!

Good morning everyone !!
I'm much better this am....hoping the vertigo just continues to improves and completely goes away. I've realized that when I have a bout of that stuff - it knocks my energy level to zero !! OIY
My PMP evaluation went well yesterday - got a "3" ranking out of 5 and that is GOOD for my company - and is all I expect to reach at this point. AFter being on the same position and doing the same things for 5+ years - not too many goals that you can set and accomplish - for the first yr or so I actually got a 1 or 2 ranking and kept on raising the bar.........now I've ran out of things to tweak - but the team leader is okay with that.........she says that everyone is scared of my desk when I'm gone and is a BIG HUGE issue when I'm not in.......so no vacation for me next year !! lol
Yeah right !! but I like being looked at as "special job" - makes me feel good that I can accomplish so much in 1 day and that my job is that important to me.........
thank you all for thinking of me....:)
Not much going on in my world. Stay warm and luv you all !!

I'm bringing up the caboose today- the night version. I'm here to make sure we're back on track for tomorrow to start once again, clean up after Gina and Tracey-you know how they are. lol.
Some mornings I wake up with energy, some mornings I hit snooze 4 times. Guess which one was this morning. lol. My woo hoo was 2 fold- that yesterday I toured not 1 but 2 huge warehouses, climbed up and down stairs and didn't get tired or winded even. That's one. But the second part was that I walked up those stairs onto a catwalk like crossing that was a grate so you could see right below where you were walking and we were over these large machines and people, and I didn't freak out. I get dizzy if I have to stand on the 1 step- step stool at the house and I never walk across a grate in the street because they scare me. But I did it because I had to. I had to be professional and I wanted to see what the workers were doing so I just took deep breaths and kept going.
I tell people I'm not afraid of heights-I'm afraid of falling. lol.
Hope everyone had a great day!
