Rodeo Sunday
I am up and out the door early today. This will be my only chance to go to the rodeo this year. I usually go several days. Our rodeo lasts 3 weeks and raises millions for education for kids. I go to all the horse events then the rodeo itself. The horses are beautiful. Lots of $$$$ there.
I am sore today. I weight trained MWF this past week and walked T TH. I'll get all my steps and more walking around Reliant Park today. Tomorrow I should rest but I can't, so many weeds in my back flower beds that my neighbors are surely shaking their heads. Got to get them out.
Well chat on ladies . Hope your day goes well.
Good Morning Linda and OFF,
You were a day early for Sunday, yesterday, so I'm posting this morning to catch you up.
I am still dealing with a sinus issue where my head wants to explode. One of my prescriptions I ran out of is out of stock at RiteAid, so I have to wait till tomorrow. I do have the antibiotic though.
I have errands to run today, and then head out to Flint to help with the campaign. Our primary is Tuesday. Have to get out the vote.
One of the errands I plan to run is to pick up a devotional Bible for Isabel, for her Baptism. It's a children's translation for kids age 7-12, with devotions by Max Lucado. The Christian bookstore in South Lansing has one copy they are holding for me.
I better jump in the shower, coz I look like a freak right now.
Hugs,
Trish
Good morning Linda and Trish and all my sistas!
Yes, Linda, I had to LOL a bit yesterday when I saw your post. It gets easier and easier to get my days mixed up. But this it good. We're all ready to go for Sunday now!
Trish, I had to LOL at your "gotta get a shower" statement! I look a bit freakish myself this morning. My hair is pretty much standing straight up on its own, except where it's mashed down. LOL!
We had a slightly better night with Caralee last night. All newborns make you get up and down during the night, but at least we didn't have that bout of non-stop screaming! Carrie is handling things pretty well, but I can't imagine a young mother going through this alone. I know I could go sleep in another room, but I just can't leave my precious daughter alone to face night after night of newborn baby duty with no support or help. So we're all sleeping in my big bed: Carrie, Caralee, and me. I remember how Butch got up with me every time the baby woke up to feed (at least when he was home--he was working offshore, even then). Just the mental and emotional support were so important to me. So, while I'm not a spouse, I AM someone to be there with her and support her while she works her way through these first few months. A little sleep deprivation will not kill me--even though at times it might feel that way! LOL!
I'm excited about my plans for today. Carrie is going to help me. I'm going to measure out the dimensions of my backyard today. I'm going to sketch it out to scale on graph paper and start putting down my design ideas. All Carrie will have to do is hold one end of the tape measure (I have my dad's big ol' measure that will roll out to 100 ft.) If Mom can't hold Caralee, then Carrie can carry her around papoose style in that wrap thing.
"Green up" has occurred here and things are so pretty! All the trees have leafed out and the redbuds are blooming. All I can think is "I'm missing it! I'm missing it!" I do so want to get my plantings in NOW.
Tomorrow I must call and make an appointment with some kind of tax place and get my taxes done. I don't have to use that super-expensive CPA we were using for our taxes when Butch was working overseas anymore. Thank goodness! That sucker charged exorbitant fees! Of course, he saved us thousands of dollars, too, but still.
Also, I need to call and set up a meeting with my realtor. I'm ready to drop the price if it will make that damn lake house sell. I'm going to have to hire a yard service to keep it mowed and looking nice if it stays on the market much longer. Just another monthly expense added on to all the others I'm currently carrying. I need to sell that thing NOW.
Oh, and one more thing. A bunny has made her a den under my front porch! I've seen her going in and out under the bushes several times now. I'm sure she has her babies hidden in there. I can't decide if this is a problem or not. At least it's not a skunk! (Been there, done that!) I guess I don't really care as long as she doesn't nibble on my flowers!
So, happy Sunday to everyone! May you all have a great day. Love you all!

Its greening up here too especially the weeds. Spent yesterday (Sunday) pulling weeds. Waiting for a call from the landscaper as I type. He was supposed to call around 10:00 to tell me what time he was coming to finalize the plans and set a start day for the work. I left the Y a little early so I would not miss the call and here I am, still waiting.
There are rabbits all over where we spend the summer. They are so cute. They probably will nibble on your flowers.
Have fun designing your yard. Get the creative juices flowing.
Afternoon OFF family!!!
Well it started out nice here...my tenant that lives in same building that we do came over banging on our door little while ago and said his wife fell and he thinks her hip is broke and can I call the squad for her because he can't hear good on the phone. OMG yes I will call for her...I called the squad and they were on another call but would be here soon as possible. I went over to tell them both and keep them calm. Poor Cordie laying on the floor and Harry trying to help her making her worse she said!! I told Harry to go sit down...she is OK. For now. He went to call their daughters but their phone battery was about dead...OMG...well the squad came and yes her hip is broken. I used my cell phone to call his daughter and let her know. Stupid me didn't block my number...oh well...too late now to do anything about it. Anyhow both Harry and his wife are in their late 80's. Very nice people and their wedding anniversary is this coming Wednesday. Guess that won't be a happy one...he is worried sick over her. He just lost his brother also last week or so ago. So please add them to your prayer list if you would. Thanks so much!!
Making a beef roast today...starting to smell it cooking now...yummmmm!!!!!!!!!
Went to Bingo last night and won again...had to split the winnings...ended up with $39.50 this time. Much better than last weeks $7.00!!! LOL The monthly drawing the one drawn was not signed for it...wooohoo!!!!!!! This months will be larger pot!!!!!!!!! Oh Yes we will be signed up for that!!!!!!!!!!
Tomorrow I go see the dr about my surgery. I still can't find anything on this HALO procedure online. Oh well will know more tomorrow.
Got all my finished apartments rented out. Waiting for the guys to get more done so I can rent those out. My new guy came in for a few hours yesterday to get more finished. WOW!!!!!! I was impressed!!!!!! He is doing great!!!
Well better get going here and make my sunday call to mom see how she is doing.
Thoughts & Prayers to ALL that need them!!!!
HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Good afternoon Linda and everyone.....
Mary...I am so glad to see you posted yesterday. I am sorry everything is taking so long to get in order for you. So frustration for sure!! I am still praying for you. Things will fall in place soon.
Linda...a rodeo is so fun to attend. It has been quite sometime since I have been to one. I will never forget those times. I am sure yo enjoyed it too.
As for me..... sorry I haven't been around...I just haven't felt like posting. I spoke with Jamie, my daughter, last night. She said they received a letter from St Jude. All it said was what we know so far, the the blood and urine testing is clear. They said, it will be about a month before all the results are completed. They are putting it all together before making any other decisions. I am not sure what that means. We are worried but trying to have hope too. There is so much information from so many sources and it all has to be picked through. Many doctors are involved as are the two hospitals. We just keep praying. GOD is in charge.
I love everyone of you....you know I care about you and your families. Please just bear with for awhile longer. I will be back.
I do see some of you on Facebook. I usually check in on my phone. I don't go there as much as I once did either. Don't give up on me.
Prayers for all of this wonderful OFF Family and their families. Special prayers as needed. I do pray for everyone in my morning prayers sometimes at night too. Keeping you close to my heart!!
Loads of love and bunches of hugs to all....connie d
Connie...is that the type of letter EVERY time Nic has his testing done? Prayers continue for him and your family to get through this waiting period...it has to be tough not "knowing" what comes....but I am sure it will be GOOD NEWS!!!!!!! GOD IS GOOD!!!!!!! Nic has come a long way and is a fighter!!! Remember that!!!
HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSS
