Good morning all-and Happy NYE, ALISSA!

Not much diffferent in my lil corner of the world-busy day ahead, with lots of driving between patient visits. I don't mind the driving. I put on whatever CD suits me..be it Christian or Meat Loaf's "Bat Out of Hell" and down the road I go....

My 3 yr old nephew, Brayden, was over last night. At his height, everyone's butt is at his eye level (poor kid). Out of nowhere he says "GiGi-you have an AWESOME butt". Not sure what he meant, but I'm chosing to take it as a POSITIVE!

Prayers for all in need-both spoken and unspoken-even for those who may have hurt us

As KAREN put it so well:

I LOVE Y'ALL AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!!!!

Baby we can talk all night
But that ain't getting us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
There's nothing left inside of here

And maybe you can cry all night
But that'll never change the way I feel
The snow is really piling up outside
I wish you wouldn't make me leave here

I poured it on and I poured it out
I tried to show you just how much I care
I'm tired of words and I'm too hoarse to shout
But you've been cold to me so long
I'm crying icicles instead of tears

And all I can do is keep on telling you
I want you
I need you
But there ain't no way
I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
Now don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad

You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach
You'll never drill for oil on a city street
I know you're looking for a ruby
In a mountain of rocks
But there ain't no Coupe de Ville hiding
At the bottom of a Cracker Jack box

I can't lie
I can't tell you that I'm something I'm not
No matter how I try
I'll never be able to give you something
Something that I just haven't got

There's only one girl that I will ever love
And that was so many years ago
And though I know I'll never get her out of my heart
She never loved me back, ooh I know
I remember how she left me on a stormy night
She kissed me and got out of our bed
And though I pleaded and I begged her
Not to walk out that door
She packed her bags and turned right away

And she kept on telling me
She kept on telling me
She kep on telling me
I want you
I need you
But there ain't no way
I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
Don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad

Baby we can talk all night
But that ain't getting us nowhere

Life is tough, but my God is TOUGHER

Good morning all!!  Busy day ahead for me.  I have an ultrasound this morning, and I'm going to try to get into see my PCP about my ankle as well. Tonight we have the last childbirth class and sometime in all of that I need to do some work too.  LOL, oh well work may lose out today.

You cruisers have 27 days to go, I have 21!!  WOOHOO!!  Most of my To Do list is done, just a few little things left so I'm feeling mostly relaxed and ready.  I talked to my brother yesterday and they are about to cross the major milestone of my SIL carrying the twins to 34 weeks!  She's been on strict bed rest for a couple of months now, and her doctor says it's a miracle she's kept the babies as long as she has.  Thursday they will let her come off bed rest and if she goes into labor they won't stop it, so we might have a new niece and nephew in a little while.

Hope everyone has a fantastic day!

Wouldn't it be neat if they were born on the same day? 3 babies at once!

 Morning Alissa and TMB,

I had a very late night for me ( went to bed after 2 AM ).   A fellow TMB member who like many others lurks here but rarely ever posts anymore.....well her family's home burned down last night and they lost everything !!!  I can't IMAGINE how horrible that must be.    I was so upset I couldn't sleep.   Thank GOD that he was watching after her and her parents and they all got out alive including her dog Diamond.   But everything else was a total loss.    Please keep Kellie and her family in your prayers.    As soon as I find out sizes I will see if anyone here has anything that they can give to her family.    In the meantime....please keep them in your prayers.


Hugs and blessings ~~ Vivian

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CAN NOT CHANGE;   COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT I CAN;  AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE !!!!    THIS IS MY DAILY PRAYER.

 Hello my beloved TX train...

I'm home.  I'm doing okay.  Last night was fairly rough, comfort wise.  But I knew it would be.  It feels good to be home especially when compared to the boredom and isolation of a hospital.  But when recovering I REALLY wish I could get a hospital bed at home.  It would make it so much more comfy to sleep these first few weeks.

I've finally started to pass some gas.  Not a lot...but hey...at least its moving.  It makes sitting on the sofa a bit more comfy.

I feel like a horrible Mommy.  We have a sliding glass door to the back yard with a slightly bent track.  It makes opening and closing it quite difficult.  I just don't have the strength to move it at this point so my poor wiggle puppies are banished to prison (aka their crate crates) during the day while Daddy is at work.  I just can't let them in and out.  Its pretty much torture for them to know I'm home but they have to stay in their crates.  One well placed jump and I'll be down for the count tho, so better in the long run...I know.

Prayers to everyone in need.  Especially Vivian's friend and Meggie.  I can't tell you what the thoughts and prayers have meant for me.  I hope I can be strong for other people and pay that support forward.
