Wow Jamie, I didn't know all that about your father-in-law, and what is wrong with your shoulder? What part of California will you be coming to? I am going the end of May to Michigan to see my mom and friends and to a girlfriend's daughter's wedding in northern Michigan. Maybe I can meet you somewhere when you are down in beginning of May, or will it be in southern CA?

Well, I'm having a terribly rough morning.   We are taking the cat in at 2pm to be put to sleep.   I keep having waves of emotions...crying...feeling guilty....second guessing what we're doing etc...   I just wi**** was 2 and we could be done with it so I could grieve and not have this other junk.   I've never had to do this before...as a kid our pets all died naturally.   We've had Lilly for 15 yrs.  It makes for a hard day at work.  I spent a lot of time just cuddling her last night...got her some treats and talked to her.    After all that I have to take my son for an eye appt and then we'll take Sadie to the Y for some swimming and I'm sneaking upstairs to exercise while they swim.  I really need to work off some stress today.   Tomorrow hubby is working on breaking up the concrete in the back yard....I need to get housework done.   No other plans for the weekend at all.  Hopefully a little relaxing time as well.    Oh yeah and a trip to the Y each day. 

Michelle, so sorry to hear about your cat.  Glad to hear that your night was good & you had some relax time. 

Jaime, yes there are other rewards to having teens.  Plus it is different with girls vs. boys.  Glad to hear you are finally getting somewhere with the doc, hope that an answer is found soon.

Not so great here.  Let's just say I am struggling with myself all the way around and I have a lot of work to do.  So hoping that I can get some peace and get it all sorted out.  So we have the girlies tonight, no plans though.  Will see what ends up happening.  I am going to do my best to get in some exercise & get to bed early.  I have not slept well the last few nights & have been up way to late so I need the rest or it will make things worse for me.  Have a great day ladies!

WOW, is this what I get to look foward to in 10 years??!!??
Please tell me that being a parent to a teenager still will have reward, just different ones, I am guessing?


So, here is the latest update on my doc & shoulder.  Went today to doc, it has been 4 weeks since I was referred to an orthopedic surgeon, saw him 4 weeks back, I asked for an MRI, and he was pretty much like, well, no, not yet, we will get you going on physical therapy & I will see you in 4-6 weeks.
So, I go in this morning, and I said "OK, it has been 2 months sice I have hurt my shoulder"  and he replied, after reading over the note the physical therapist sent over on my progress with her (I have been going 3 times a week)... I have also had a 10 pound lifting restriction, so I have been working in accounting, since I am on light duty.  He said "I thought you would have progressed more than this by now"  (I am thinking to myself, NO **** SHERLOCK)
So, FINALLY, I have an order for an MRI.  It is scheduled for Saturday morning, the first avaliable & I took it.  Then back to the doc on the 16th for my follow-up to go over the MRI results.

So, there is my long-winded update.  I have been very frustrated, I know that goes with the territory.  Just glad FINALLY I have an order!!!!

We are going to be taking our vacation the end of next month & flying down to California to see DH's parents.  The docs want to do a bone marrow transplant of sorts on his dad (he has bone cancer).  I will keep you updated on that as well.

Since I am in accounting, I have ZERO privacy to be "screwing around" on the website, anywebsite, so, this is why you are only hearing from me about once a week, cause I have limited time to get on the computer at home, with daddy & Hunter.


Hope you Easter's were good!!!  I have pics on a CD, now, I will just have to get some on my profile for you girls..... to be contiued!!!!

Well did pretty well at home by myself yesterday.  Got a lot accomplished with was good.  We enjoyed a nice family dinner then it all went down hill.  2 teenage girls with pms, one with splinters in her foot & poison ivy all over her face, the other with a toothache and allergy issues do not bode well for a fun evening.  Hubby was grumpy due to being in the heat all day.  We all ended up in bed late & thus over tired this a.m. and running late due to lack of motivation.  seems like today is going to follow the pattern of the rest of the week so far.  Hubby and I are making plans for a get away Memorial Day weekend, so at least I have something to look forward to.  Hope you all have a wonderful day!
