Thursday Greeting

I am up and about this a.m.  How was your Wednesday?  Mine was pretty good.  Had to leave work early to go get the girlies, we did a surprise visit to their mom and took her some flowers and then it was home for the nite.  We did some outdoor stuff for soccer training, had a nice dinner, a trip to the ice cream shop and then it was winding down for bed.  Today is work, soccer and then a little bit of time to get ready for bed.  Hope you have a great one!

Yesterday was very stressful and by looking at what I just ate this morning it's still coming through.   I just ate some chips and had some diet mt dew.   Ahhhhhhh    My biggest stress right now is my oldest daughter.   She turned 19 this morning...yes today is her golden birthday.   She met a guy on the internet from Louisianna.   He didn't have a job...couldn't come up with money to get here to see her.  She was crazy and sent him money quite a few times.   We found out a couple of weeks ago she sole her laptop computer to pay for a bus ticket for him to come here to live with her.   This guy has been in prison for 3 yrs for selling weed on a school grounds.   He's behind on child support...can't get a driver's license because of it.   He hasn't held down a job in forever because then he'd have to pay child support.   So he didn't just come to visit...he's moved in.   One big problem along with the rest is she is disabled and lives in a housing place....he can't be put on her lease because he has a felony...she's going to end up kicked out of her apt.   She won't listen to us.   So here we are today her birthday and her mommy sits here in tears this morning because she hung up on me yesterday when I called to see what she needs for her birthday.   He's very controlling and she won't even talk to me.   Now she won't even answer her phone.  My hubby has been less supportive than I'd like...it's hard for him to understand how I feel since he's her step father and he doesn't have quite the same connection.  He did promise to find some time tonight to spend with me though.  My son up until today was working at the same place as she is and he heard through the grapevine that they think she's doing drugs now.   She got in trouble yesterday at work and was sent home.   I'm sooo worried about her but don't know if there's anything more I can do.   My son did find another job because he can't deal with everyone talking about her and asking him much less working with her the time or two every pay period they're scheduled together.    His last day is today then he'll be working at Subway!  

Ok enough about that.   My husband called yesterday and said he had a problem.   I think oh great just what I need.   We're going with a VA loan for our house.  He's sent in the paperwork for his certificate of eligibility.   Well.....silly man forgot to sign it.   They mailed it back to us just yesterday.    We close 2 wks from tomorrow...not enough time to do snail mail any more.   On comes more stress.    By the end of the day he had it figured out and the banker got everything she needed online somehow.   Whew     We had an appt yesterday afternoon with the organization that is offering $2000 closing cost and down payment assistance for houses in the area we are buying.   We got everything done.   The $2,000 will be waiting at closing for us.   We are just about set to go paperwork wise anyway.   My husband's friend called yesterday and he is coming to help us move...he drives for FED EX and has his own big truck.   He's bringing it so we can move everything in one trip.   Plus that adds himself and his 16 yr old son as people to help move stuff.   Everything there is starting to fall into place.    We now just need to straighten otu a small wrinkle about our homeowner's insurance.  

Ok now that I wrote a book I'll quit!   I hope you all have a great Thursday....hey tomorrow is FRIDAY!!
 

hi ladies!
its been a while since ive been on, things have been crazy with my husbands illness. but hopefully soon things will start to calm down
ms court- it sounds like you really get along with the girls mom. i think thats awesome! i cant wait until the weather has warmed up and we can start out out door activities. even if its just the park for a few hours it will be so nice to get out of the house!

michelle- thats tough, im sorry that youre going through that. i hope your daughter realizes how bad this guy is before its too late. good luck and hope you and your hubby get some quality time together soon.

so... yesterday was my last behaviorist apt before I see the surgeon. yesterday morning I got on the scale and it told me I gained a lb. I was all ok I am not getting approved, I was supposed to lose 5% of my body weight and I've only dropped like 7lbs so far. So I went in got weighed, it jumped around and she took the lowest weight. But even the highest was lower than my scale at home said. So I actually lost a lb not gained. But I still wasn't at my 5%. So I went in and talked to her about all my new found habits, but unfortunately they’re all still really new so I didn't know if that would help my case. After an hour she cleared me for surgery!!!!! However… and this is a big one, before I can be approved by the surgeon, or even see the surgeon, they want me to get a note from my pcp saying my heartburn is better and I don't have sleep apnea, see when I first started the process I wrote down everything that I was concerned I may have been suffering with so I wouldn't have any complications at all, and my husband said he felt like I was snoring really loud and stopping breathing in my sleep. Now if I do have sleep apnea it would help me get approved by insurance, however, the test requires a sleep study, and personally I don't know if I can take any more time off work. So I'm stuck, I don't know what to do, I can take the sleep study which would be a huge pain in the butt (plus i have no idea what it entails) and its possible to delay my surgery significantly, however if I do have it, its almost a guarantee on the insurance approval, no worrying about what if I don't get approved. Or I can beg my pcp to write me a note saying I don't have it, speed up the process, not take any more time off work that I don't need to, still most likely get approved but there's a possibility I wont, and have the surgery in probably may or June absolute worst case scenario July. sorry for the novel, thats where i stand right now, super excited but dont know what to do about the sleep test. hmm...

Wow that is quite the decision to make.   My husband just had his last nutritionist appt yesterday before approval for surgery.   He's on about the same timeline as you are right now.   He did not have any required weight loss thankfully.   He does snore a lot!!!   They haven't so far required him to take the sleep study.   I will keep you in my prayers that you get your approval and can move forward with the process. 

Thanks for the well wishes.   It helps just to have somewhere to vent.  

Have a wonderful day!

 Wow!!!!  Sounds like everyone should just RUNAWAY for a day or two, just to get a "break" from stresses in their lives!!!!  AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
I am praying prayers of comfort for all of you ladies.

Hope you all have a GREAT day!!!!!
