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.

I guess everyone is either sleeping in....running late......or the OH Boards won't let you access the TMB early. Strange to me how sometimes that happens. LOL Yesterday it took me about a hour to do what I usually do in 30 minutes or less on the Forums. Hope everyone is having a great week. Mine has been extremely stressful due to my 26 yr. old son's heart papulations. It is SO stressful when your son is 5 hours away and wants Momma to "fix" what is going on with them and Momma doesn't have ALL the answers. Guess he didn't get the message that I don't know EVERYTHING !!! LOL Actually if I did I would have probably forgotten it with the way my memory is. LOL Please keep Shawn in your prayers. Hopefully he will call me later and I can talk to him more about what is going on with his heart. I was a basket case yesterday to say the least.....not much sleep the night before and then worrying about him was NOT a good thing. No matter how old my 3 son's get.....they wil ALWAYS be my "little boys" and I will always be concerned about them...their lives....and their choices. Ok enough of that. The Teen Challenge banquet that is LOCAL is happening this thursday. If you want a blessing.....attend it. I KNOW ALL these precious men and they are proof that God can change people. WOW I am EXCITED to be going and to hear what they have to say. Oh also.....it is ALL 100% tax deductable !!!! SO you can take the $20 charge off your taxes this year. Here is the link to it if you are interested in attending.

Good morning, my TMB family!
I was going to get the train on to the tracks this morning, but, after I responded to VIVIAN's thread, about Shawn,...when *poof*..no more getting into OH..and then I ran out of time, trying to get back in..maybe morning is when they are "rebooting" the system or something...
At work now, about to "dig in"..lots to do..the days fly by quickly..tonight I have to attend a "group interview", of a friend, the company is interested in hiring. I think it's more a mater of HER interviewing the BOSSES, instaed of the other way around, cuz SHE is fabulous (they seem to trust MY opinions...what a concept..bunch of dummies..lol...cuz they haven't met her)...they want tme to go, so she will feel more comfortable..and so she will more apt to say YES..they don't know she already PLANS to come aboard..but she's not dumb..she knows how to hold out for $$ and perks !! They are panting after a physician, as Medical Director, that I hooked them up the 2nd week I was here. He has met with them 3 times, and said he will come, if I stay, and if tonight's friend agrees to come aboard also (we spoiled Dr. A, at the last place..MEN !!)...
LIZ emailed me some pics of CHRIS S. I am going to TRY to download them, and get to Walgreen's, to be printed, in time for tomorrow night's Celebration of Life meeting. I thought I had some, on my FB, of last year's Halloween party, but only had his back/arm/etc in them-none of his great face/costume. Wish me luck with the downloading thing. Y'all know how techno-challenged I am, and there is no color printer here, so I have to send them elsewhere. I am planning to make a few copies, so I can share them...
I look forward to seeing all who can attend. It has been WAY too long. I am the world's worse at "taking for granted" peeps will "always be there", and that I can "wait for the next mtg/dinner" to see them...hug them...aplologize to them..tell them how much they mean to me...etc..etc...it doesn't always work out that way...does it ??
I'm sitting here, listening to "Best of the Monkee" CD...RIP Davy Jones...ok...now I'm gonna cry, for sure....better get to work...
I haven't said this, in WAY too long:
I LOVE Y'ALL AND THERE's NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT !!!

I am still in La working, meeting team at 7:30 in the lobby to head to office. It was a long day yesterday hoping today is shorter. Sunday evening did get some time to go to Santa Monica Pier with Charlie and Sharon, they flew back home yesterday.
Viv, praying every thing is ok with your son.
Hope everyone has a great day!

Not sure what is going on. You know me...............NOPE..and thats all I'm gonna say...
I posted several days ago or last week on FB that I had a loss of 18 recently. My last known weigh in was in Feb at docs office of 265..uggg......when I weighed last week I was down to 248..
surprisingly that is an -18 lb loss I believe.................but what I just realized and htought it was a "refocus" time of about 4 weeks ago - but actually I just got refocused after a wls meeting at Baylor in Grapevine on 5-8-12. (I thought it was in April)..........boy these last few weeks have been SLOW moving.....I guess cause I haven't been feeling well. OH well - I'll take it...
I'm making myself eat this morning because what food addicts always think is that the tummy hurts may be hungry.......I thought that last night and I didn't have anything decent to eat, but I refused to go to the vending machine and I had popcorn in my desk so I had some popcorn. It didn't help so I guess it is NOT hunger pains that I'm feeling.
My heart has been really heavy since we found out that Chris and his mom were found dead with no answers and it doesn't appear that we will be getting any anytime soon if at all.
My prayers are going out to the family..................
Luv you all - but I gotta get going.......fires are being started here at work.....UGGGG.... I'm hoping that I don't have to pull out the estinguisher since this happened in my absence last week and is NOT my fault but I feel that it is a reflection of ME............. I feel that I'm losing my report with the reps and team leaders......not good.......
- 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.
