Thursday WLS Express - All Aboard!!

 

 

What a difference a day makes!!  Windy and cold!!  Brrrrrrrrrrr 

Work, and staying warm, are the only things on the docket.  No traffic stops today unless it is absolutely necessary.  No citation is worth hypothermia! 

Go Forth and stay warm!

Good morning, DON, and all--great train pic again!!

Morning came too early today...yawn..I was at TRACEY's until late last night...She was saving my life (in typical BFF fashion), helping me make Christmas gifts for my work babies..well..SHE was doing the MAKING, and I was doing the HELPING, truth be told..She is just AWESOME !

VIVIAN-I just read your post, on the train, from yesterday..Honey, we all have stress.Some of it we might can control-some we just can't--like when it caused by the choices and actions of others. Have you spoken to your physician about your anxiety about routine medical procedures? That type anxiety can be VERY real, and should be addressed with your doc-are you scared something will be found to be wrong? Just concerned-sorry if I'm out of line..

These past few days, when I find myself getting frustrated/depressed/etc..the season/finances/worried about my baby moving out/not exercsing/etc..I have to stop..breathe..remind myself of true sadness and tragedy...the funerals of those innocent children and teachers...the Christmas gifts that will never be opened..I have no problems..

Okay..off to make the donuts..or, in my case, change the diapers and make the never ending attempts at keeping tiny noses clean, and the tummies full..One of the 6 month olds was crying yesterday, and when I walked in the door, she looked up and clearly said "GiGi"..guess who got fed first...lol..her first word was "DaDa"..her 2nd word "GiGi"..poor mama..we elected not to tell her mama...not just yet..

Hope everyone has a truly, truly TERRIFIC Thursday !!

Woke up this morning to finally weighing less than my husband, woohoo! So, today is a good day. If the world does end tomorrow, I will die skinnier than my hubby, dammit!

Today is the last day of school for the kids and teacher hubby. Then it's 2 weeks of them being home. All the time. I work from home, so it's always a challenge.

Hormonal girl is driving me crazy this morning. She's 9 and we have early puberty here and I may actually go grey. She's the youngest. Just 9 more years and I'm not legally responsible for another human being, right? I can do 9 more years. Oy.

CANDY--your post made me laugh out loud this morning--THANK YOU !!!!

Good morning

Work on the top of my agenda, was expecting a quite slow week but several issues popped up yesterday which added more to my to do list.

Still need to finish Christmas shopping, might get some done tonight if I don't get a case of the lazies after work.

DH is off till the 2nd and first thing on his agenda is going to Durant to play poker. Hope he wins so he can cover my Christmas shopping.

Continued prayers for those in need.

Have a great day!

Good Morning Everyone,

Gina....I am OK.   I did the mamogram and woke up not feeling 100% this AM so I cancelled the Gyno appointment and put it off till the end of Jan.    I read what I put yesterday on the train.    I do NOT like my yearly physical...but then I truly don't know any woman who jumps up and down for joy when its time to do that.    I think I was mainly stressing because I HATE afternoon appointments....especailly when it is a thursday afternoon ( Teen Challenge Chapel day ).    The appointment WAS for 3:40 which would throw me getting out of there probably about 5 PM.   You KNOW what the traiffic is like on 820 going W off Rufe Snow at 5 PM?????   The thought of that alone had me stressed out.   LOL   I'm OK with the exam....just not the time of the exam.   I had a monday AM appointment and the doctor was sick so they called and cancelled and remade it for this afternoon.    Well....I woke up today with stomach issues so I called and rescheduled it for the end of Jan. in the AM !!!!   I'm OK....still dealing with lots of issues that I don't want to deal with.   I still need prayers trust me.    And LOTS of them.....but I am OK.   Thank you so much for being concerned about me.    I'm going to probably take one of my middle son's friends to Teen Challenge today for him to enter into the program.   He came to me tuesday for help.   PLEASE everyone keep Micah in your prayers.    He needs LOTS of them and so does my middle son.    I feel sometimes like a broken record.   LOL   I am going to try to have a stress free day today.   I'm thinking about baking so Christmas cookies and freezing them for a few days.   I'm doing laundry at the moment.    Thank you for caring about me and my family.   Everyone have a good day and try to stay warm.   This cold front pretty much distroyed my yard art and it broke some of my spotlights outside on them.   UGH Oh well life goes on.   LOL  Have a great day !!!

 

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Good morning from Conroe regional medical center. My mom has been here since Tuesday. That day she didn't know who we were. She was diagnosed with bleeding esophageal and stomach ulcers and is being treated. They are supposed to release her today.

Hope everyone else enjoys Christmas. Thank heavens I shop early. Kind of behind On things I need to do.

Karla

Glad to hear your mother is better.

KARLA--bless her heart..I hope her pain is under control, and that she can get some rest
