Monday WLS Express
I am with everyone else...where did our weekend go? Gee.....as far as that goes....where did Jan, Feb, and now March go? LOL Guess that is a sign of getting older or at least that is what my Momma use to say. I HAVE to get my tax stuff together today and try to get a appointment to get them done. UGH I hate doing this. I got a phone call from my Teen Challenge son yesterday and he sounds SO good !!! I am so happy for him. I will be headed that way in about a month. Today is my hubby's 60th birthday. He took off at lunch time last night and came home. I can't belive we are getting so OLD !!! UGH....but I am NOT quite as old as he is. LOL Please pray for my hubby;s family. My MIL lost her twin sister yesterday to kidney failure. Her viewing will be friday and saturday the funeral. Please keep me in your prayers too. My hip/ leg is getting better but it still hurts like heck and I am still having problems sitting for long periods of time. Prayers for Amanda and Ginny as they start their WLS journey's tomorrow. If nothing happens I am going to go sit with Jack and Phyllis. Have a blessed and safe day and Yeah.....I'm having a GRAND DAUGHTER !!! WOO HOO !!!
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.

Vivian: Congrats on the granddaughter!
Alisa: Safe travels this week.
Saundra: They are our "fur children" and we will do what we have to for them!
Karla: Enjoy the dental convention.
Gina: Money is not everything. It does not buy happiness but it may rent it for a spell!
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!
The weekend did go by so quickly...
Well, I envy you guys. lol I want to go back to work. But we decided when my son was born that I'd stay home for a while, us moving to a new state & all. I've been thinking about going back to school, I'm an LVN now, but I would love to be an RN & finish my business degree. Yes different fields..lol
Today will be a Scentsy day for me, post office, catalogs, labels, samples!! And of course cleaning up my sons room, bathroom. And calling around for someone to redo our closet. We had a pipe bust a couple weeks back & finally the insurance finished our claim & looking for someone to close things up, pain & put in a carpet. Fun, fun, fun!!
Enjoy your day everyone!!

JOVI-or do you go by JOVANY? I want to call you by your preferred name...I would LOVE to meet you, IRL, some time-we really need to arrange it!!
I have been an LVN for 34+ years. While I have always LOVED my profession, and NEVER been without a job, if I had ONE regret in my life, it would be not finishing my education. There was always something happening--divorce/pregnancy/lack of time/lack of $$/just always some "excuse". I truly encourage to get more "titles", while you are young enough to earn/use them.
It has been so nice to see you posting!

We Can Do Hard Things
Sounds great in meeting!! Before going to school I worked at a hospital for 3 1/2 years on a Cardiology floor, loved it. Learned so much about the heart. And monitoring the rhythems I've been an LVN for 5 years, only worked two 1/2 of those years back home in Ohio, but did transfer my lisence here & continue on my CE's. I def. want to do it, keeping my options open. Congrats on being an LVN that long, lots of experience there!!
Thanks for the encouragement!!
I do enjoy this group, so close to home :)

I swear I heard the sun asked if I could come out and play and I had to admit that it was Monday ! UGGG...lol
Tomorrow is Amanda's big day as well as our Ginny's.......I"m so excited for both of them.
As with Ginny, the nerves are starting to settle in.
Amanda and I went to the mall on Sat evening and spent some time together....
That girl has plans....................whoo hoooooooooooooo would have known??
lol
I'll FB with messages as I can tomorrow. I don't get OH on my phone - haven't figured that out yet - hoping that they will get an "app " for this too soon !! lol
thank you all for the continued support to us all !!
- Pease check out Dr. Connie Stapleton's Website. A lot of good information on there for all WLS patients regardless of the surgery you chose. Good luck to all and I'm here for you if you want to send me an email. I'll answer it as soon as possible.

Has been a good bonding experience for us!
And, I think not being able to eat much for a week or so has helped wake up my "tool".
