Monday morning hello
Hello Vickie....so sorry you and your sweet little Benny are sick. I am so happy that Butch is there to help out.
I love to walk and miss it. Too much ice and snow and not safe enough for me to get out and walk. Plus it is 7 degrees with a windchill of -20 below!!!
I bet the flooring and new blinds will be beautiful!!
Love you....hugs....connie d
Good morning Eileen and everyone....
Eileen....so sorry about your friend. I am going through the same thing. My friend that I atended the funeral also killed herself. I feel so bad for her sister and daughter and the rest of the family. It is a very sad situation. Hope your boss feels better soon!
Today Kyleigh goes home. We are catching up on all the laundry she had while being here. I like to send the kids home with clean clothes. One less thing they need to be worried about. I am really going to miss her. She has appointments tomorrow so she has to go.My BFF Pam came over yesterday She and Kyleigh cleaned and vacuumed the house. My sister said, " how does that look with me here and you calling in others to clean". I thought EXACTLY!!!!! I said, "I am too weak and in pain and it hasn't been done in about 2 months since things were cleaned well around here. I can't handle the dust". She didn't say anymore. She quickly got dressed and left. I plan on resting the rest of the day. Pam brought over some puzzles. I may do one of them.
Wishing you all a beautiful day! Prayers for those in need...an a few special ones as well, I haven't heard anymore about Annette and pray she is doing well. 
Love and hugs to all....connie d
Eileen I can't even imagine what it would be like to hear that a friend has committed suicide. Having our friends die is hard enough, but to know that they wanted out of this life is harder.......so many never show any signs of their misery. Having been a psychologist for many years, I KNOW how good people are at masking their feelings and putting on a "happy face." I have done that myself when life is overwhelming and I still have to keep on. I hear your pain in describing the feeling of just turning the wheel and crashing. So sorry you had those feelings, but I think many of us have had something similar.
I am truly sorry for not staying in closer touch. It is not that my life is so busy....it's just that I don't feel I have much to contribute. That is so negative!! Today for instance I worked at the hospital screening newborns's hearing....I had 8! How life affirming is seeing brand new babies and hopefully seeing a mom and a dad in the room to help this little one through. I hate those days when I have "meth babies" or "Alcohol addicted" babies.......through no fault of their own, they are hooked. I always say a little prayer over these babies that they be protected, loved, loveable and happy. You never know. But I feel a joy in being in their lives for a short while.
Hoping for the best in so many of your lives. Wow....I forget how much we have in commen, beyond WLS!!

Hi Karen,
I really do enjoy your posts. I love picturing the newborns, and knowing that you pray over each one of them. I love picturing your view of the ocean, and the sea turtles. It gives me a mini escape from the cold, and snow here. Plus, babies just make me smile, no matter how many times I hear of them.
Please post more often. Your shares are just as important as mine are. I need each one of the ladies here, and that includes you.
Hugs,
Trish
