I hope she gets thru it and comes out the other end. She is 9 years older than me and I knew this was THE year I had to do something because I was just starting to head in the same direction as her. I don't have diabetes YET, but my numbers are very close to getting it (borderline). I did not want that to be my future. Just like me she was trying to lose some weight beforehand but she was not able to. But thanks for asking and I will keep you posted. --Pook

**Hugs** to you and your sister. I'll say a prayer.

The diabetic thing is what woke me up too. When the Doc said either lose weight or go on shots, I flipped. I had had enough shots with the weekly methotrexate (chemo)for 3 years. All be damned if I was going to stick myself daily!! Something in me just clicked with those words and I took action the next day and haven't looked back. Just forward. I finally put my glucose monitor and strips up on auction this past week. I hadn't used it for months, so it was time to go...I don't really know why I hung onto it for so long, must be the pack rat in me. :lol: But anyhow, hang in there!! You're on the right track!! :smug:

Oh What A Night...

So much for sleep... :dz:

I've been up since 10:30 am Wed. with a 1 hour nap. I was dead tired by 9 PM but my daughter was up sick so it scared the tired right out of me.

The poor kid...:( Tomorrow is her last day of school and she can't go in this shape. She has been throwing up and can hardly stand. Poor thing didn't even make it to the toilet. She got it all over her clothes/hair/etc. Ugh... Hubby, the dea that he is, went out to get her 7-Up at 12 midnight. She couldn't keep it down. I told her if she can't keep any fluids down by morning, she's going in!! I gave her a warm bath and brushed her hair and put the bucket next to her. She's sleeping now so that's a good thing but now *I* can't sleep. So I've just been working on auctions. Slower way to get rid of stuff, but hey I'm still de-cluttering!! ;) If you want to check them out, my seller ID is the same as here: Noodles913.

Scratch that..she just got up again...poor kid. I feel helpless as a mother in times like these. :(

http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/love/love62.gif Well, I will miss all of ya!! I'll be scarce then gone completely for 3 days after Friday. Tournament time ya know. Unless the kid doesn't get better. Then the tournament can kiss my :censored:. :lol: I shall return Monday!! Have a good weekend everyone.

Noodles - sorry about your daughter! I hope she gets well quickly, and that you can make it to the tournament. Congrats on the bowling victory!

Pookie - I'll keep your sister in my prayers.

No plans for me, other than getting back on track with eating and exercise. Oh, and my sisters' graduations - both from high school and at the same time, but different schools and different places, so I can't go to both. :(

Morning Maintainers!!!!!!!!

http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies.../2/happy48.gif The sun is shining...and NOODLES got a full nights sleep!! Yippee!! I took a nice hot bubble bath last night and soaked for a while and read God's word. There's something very soothing about a warm bath and reading inspirational things that calms my soul. :cloud9:

DD is doing much better. She is eating and drinking normally again. Must of been a 24 hour thing. DH brought home our favorite: Vietnamese Pho Soup and Chicken & Steamed Rice with cucumbers, carrots, and fish oil sauce. YUM!

So..we're going to head up to the tournament after all. I'll be goneski for a few days. Ahhhhh...I can feel the 3FC withdrawls now!! http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies...d/scared09.gif But it will be nice to have some time away with just DH & DD. We're going to go to a ghost town on Sunday. I'll take pics for ya.

Well, must get my rear in gear around here. I still have to list a few more goodies on FeeBaY, do dishes, run the vacuum, dust, water the yard, feed the animals & prepare them for their "house sitter", gather up my judging materials, pack, and go go go!! Woosh!! http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies.../2/happy46.gif

Have a good weekend everyone!!! :grouphug:
