Monday Monday?!!!!
Hello Judy....I am so sorry to hear that little Bandit has a stage 2 heart murmur. It is so hard to know what to do. Of course no matter what, you want what is best for them.They are family!
Vet bills are really sky rocketing. I know several people that actually have insurance on their pets. Mostly because of the Vet costs. Also because animals are living longer which means more and more Vet bills as they get older and have more illnesses.
I hope you and Rick can get it worked out. I am so sorry. I will be praying for Bandit and also for you! 
I love you... hugs too...connie d
Judy, so sorry about Bandit. Yes, you probably should get his teeth cleaned if he has a heart murmur. Anything wrong in the system goes to the heart. I know about expensive pets. I had to cash in my change bucket for this little trip. Not buying any crap on vacation ... just enjoying being away.
Yeah, my car needs work, I need a crown on my tooth and I have to pay fed taxes. So join the crowd.
Hello sistas,
It's after 1 p.m. and I'm just now getting on the computer. My life has certainly changed!
Since we're talking so much about pets today, let me just say that while I miss little Maybelle, it is sheer heaven to walk around barefoot in my house and not be worried about stepping on something squishy! It's also a relief not to have to worry about keeping doors closed and trash cans up and out of reach, etc. Believe me, I will think long and hard before I get another pet again.
The scale dropped a bit today. 199.2! I'll take it! A half pound gone is a victory for me this week. My eating has not been as good as I would have liked. I did manage to stay out of the chocolate last night, although it was definitely calling to me. If I weren't walking daily, I wouldn't be losing at all. Today I went without Caralee and I'm glad, because I got rained on (just a little). Also I can walk further and faster without pushing the baby stroller. I walked a full 60 minutes today, so I figure that was a full 3 miles.
I called and made a doctor's appointment for myself on Friday morning. My right arm and shoulder are killing me. It's from hauling the baby around all day long, but hey, she's only going to get heavier each week. I figure it couldn't hurt to go get another steroid shot in my right shoulder again.
Caralee is really a good baby. But she's not quite 2 months old. (Wednesday is her 2 month birthday.) Babies are just a lot of work at this stage, no matter how good they are. And dang it, I did manage to work her schedule around yesterday and her bedtime feeding was around 9:30 p.m. I was hoping for that 6 hour stretch! But that little stinker was still up at 2 a.m.! LOL! I think I'm gonna have to adjust my time clock to HER, not the other way around. LOL!
Carla, I think you are in an untenable situation with your sister. Doesn't she have a family of her own who can help her? She can't stay at your place. You travel waaaay too much and plus you have a new grandbaby on the way. You're going to be gone a LOT. She needs to be settled in someplace more permanent I think.
Well, I need to go make my shake and drink it before Lil Miss wakes up from her nap. Love you all so much!

Hello Vickie.....I didn't get on here until 1 PM either. I just take longer every day to take care of myself!!
I think Caralee is doing great for only being not quiet two months yet. She is so alert and has such a sweet way about her. I wish I could be there to help you with her!! She is just a sweet sweet little girl!! Kiss her little toes for me!!!
You may be right...you will have to work on changing your schedule to hers....at least for right now until she is more settled in at night.
It is nice that your mom can watch Caralee while you go for your walk. That gives you about an hour to clear your head and prepare for the day. Congrats on the weight loss...that is great!
You have a wonderful rest of the day cuddling, kissing and sniffing that baby!! Oh that wonderful baby smell!!!
Love you....hugs....prayers.....connie d
Good afternoon Carla and everyone....
Carla....I haven't seen you in awhile. I guess partially because I haven't been on the computer much lately.
So your sister is planning on staying there...Hmmmm!! I do remember somethings about her. I don't think that will be a GOOD MOVE FOR YOU!!! Why is she doing this? Why wouldn't she have that done at home? I feel bad for you. I hope you can get this worked out and she goes back home...soon!! Sometimes distance is a good thing!
As for me..... well on a good note it is my precious granddaughter, Amanda's 22nd birthday!! I spoke with her and she had some funny stores to tell me. That helped lighten my heart. 
This is always a bad day for me. My mom died 16 years ago today. After all those years I continue to miss her so much. I am always talking to her. I wish I could have one more day with her. She was so kind, and sweet and loving to everyone. I just can't help but miss her.
Eileen is on her trip....how nice that is for her. I have been thinking of her and want to say...Happy Birthday Eileen!!! 
Wishing you all a beautiful day!! Please remember to Pay It Forward when you can. An Act of Kindness would give someone the smile they might be missing.
I am going to color and watch a movie. Tomorrow is my errand and grocery shopping day...oh joy!!
Prayers for our loving OFF Family and their families as well. Special prayers for those in need.
Loads of love and bushels of hugs to all...connie d
Hi Ladies,
Not much going on today. I did go shopping earlier. I got 5 jugs of laundry detergent for11.00. That will last me for quite awhile. Got some food at a another store. Went to dollar tree for a few things. Tomorrow I will go to Sams club to get my usual food supply and gas in my car.
Carla sorry you're having trouble with your sister.
Kathy sorry for your loss of your pet.
Judy sorry about the news of your dog.
Vickie congrats on the weight loss and walking.
Connie enjoy your day of relaxation.
Arlene sorry you're having difficulty with your daughter.
Thoughts and prayers for everyone.
Love and hugs,
Yvonne
