  • Hi Ladies,

    Thank you all for your warm support. You are just all the sweetest best people I know. A whole year, can you imagine we have known each other for a whole year, what an honor.

    Adam and his Mom are doing much better, you were right Sheila, now they are working on his color and he has been under the lights and eating a lot and tomorrow he will be circumcised, and if all goes well in the afternoon they can finally go home. SIL is taking the rest of the week off to help DD with Adam, and my other DD's and I will take turns going to Stevens Point to help her out. Thank you, Thank you, for all your prayers, you are so appreciated.

    Sheila, I am sorry that you have to endure such pain when you get your shots. I am sorry, but I had to smile when you said your doctor said to go home and take a sedative, it sounded like something they would say on a TV show. I know it is not funny, but you made me smile anyway and I am glad it is over for you. Grandbaby has a double ear infection, and the doctor gave her an antibiotic and drops for her eyes. I stopped on the way home tonight to see how she is doing and she was trying to play, even though she doesn't feel well and her eyes were tearing as though she was crying. She is so sweet and good natured. I loved the story of your Step-grandson and the train cake. You really are a neat Grandma.

    Charlotte, well lady I sure am glad that you and yours are ok. I know about that no electricity thing for days. It ain't no picnic that I can tell you. One is never so thankful for electricity once it comes back on. It is a wonderful thing to see everyone helping one another during a crisis. Spagehtti, on the grill, that is an interesting concept. I bet it was really tasty too. Yes, we were all worried about you during the hurricane. I never would have thought to fill bags with air and use that to fill an air mattress. Trying times usually bring out the best in us.

    SunnyD, up again in the wee hours. It has been wonderful getting to know you. You were brave enough to join us, even though you are the baby of the group, I am so glad you did. We know we can always depend on you for a prayer when times are tough and an uplifting message to keep us going. That is what good friends do for one another and you are a good friend. I love your Joe and Donna stories, you two are good for one another, and an excellent pair.

    Well, I am going to go check on the Minnesota and Philadelphia game on Monday night football. I am hoping Philadelphia wins. Noooooo, there is no rilvary between the Vikings and the Packers. yeah right.

    Chat with you all again tomorrow. Puss, you just don't know how much fun you are missing here, with the hurricanes, our aches and pains, shots that hurt, failed brakes on jeeps, a newborn with apnea, on and on, while you vacation away in sunny Spain. Come home you naughty girl.

  • Morning Glories...


    A very Gooood Morning Gals!

    Yesterday was a bust for me... I didn't do anything! I felt very tired, so I just did allot of sitting (out on our porch) catching up with the Sunday paper and some of my magazines. It was such a lovely day to do that!!! We are going to have another great weather day today!! This could go on all winter for me (well... except for the week of Christmas - we need snow then, it's sooo beautiful!).

    *~*~*

    You are so welcome Angel! I am glad to see that you are doing okay - considering. I hope it won't take your DD too long to recoup from this storm! I loved hearing about the mobile home being protected So cool And that spag. dinner sounded like FUN!!! I have always found it fun to do things differently when challenged... I remember when Joe & I first married and we went over-seas the first 6 months of our marriage, we had nothing! No furnishings, no appliances... nothing. We brought a broken ref. home and Joe patched it up and got it going for us. Then he found a three legged skillet (the kind you plugged in and set the temp on a dial) fixed it and that is what I used for cooking meals (I did a mighty find job too, if I say so myself ). And for a table & chairs in the kitchen ~ we used old barrels to sit on and a headboard from a bed for the table top.... awww, those were the days! Oh... our bed was a mattress we bought (only new thing) to put right onto the floor - no box-spring or headboard and a meg-shift dresser I made myself with extra wood and shelf lining - but we loved it cuz we did it all on our own! And we remember those days fondly.

    Happy *1 year Anniversary* to you toooo, Angel... where does the time go???


    Sheila ~ I saw that movie too... I thought it was pretty good. Isn't that with Julia Roberts?

    YES!!! I did see *Oprah* and cried like a baby! I knew that Mattie had passed away and wondered why Oprah had not mentioned it on her show and then she did yesterday! How very sad, but touching... I have a CD with his poems being read in the background to the music, what an awe inspiring child he was. He touched many lives and brought many to God in such a short time on this planet. God Bless His Mother... I too look forward to seeing that new movie with John Travolta in it *Ladder 49* --- looks good!

    I guess I don't understand why you are getting Botox, Sheila... what is it doing to help you? I must have missed something in one of your posts... So sorry it's painful like that! Ouch!!! I have those witchy days too... don't feel bad. I don't have them as often as I use to, but when I do --- better *watch-out* and steer clear of me... when I get like that, I try stay home and away from others if I can till it passes. I don't like being that way either. Pain does that to people! You will feel better today... you will see I hope you enjoyed that walk with your pup. Are you still thinking of getting another pup?


    Bluet ~ You are so very welcome!! (((Hugs))) Hope that all goes well with Adam's circumcision and that soon your DD & her hubby will be able to bring him home and enjoy their new son.

    As for the wee hours... I slept in this morning till 7:00!!!! I am usually up at 5:30, but it sure did feel good to sleep in!!! I went to bed allot later then usual - had to watch *CSI-Miami's* new season show last night!!! I really enjoy those CSI shows and the *Without a Trace* show... just love the Thursday night line up!! *Survivor* - *CSI* - & *Without a Trace*... I record them for Joe, he has to get up too early to stay up with me.

    Yes, it has been fun hanging around more... I have myself a bit more organized, so I don't feel so overwhelmed now. I do enjoy posting here with you all and getting to know you better also. I just love the thought of being the *baby* of the thread

    Our Cleveland Browns lost to Dallas on Sunday and we lost a major player to a broken leg Bummer! You know how that changes the whole team when a member is hurt... especially when it's a major player! I hope they keep doing well. They had a great opening game!

    *~*~*

    Later Gals...
    I have some exercising to do this morning
    (((Hugs)))

  • Oh Sheila...I am sooo sorry you hurt that way with your shots! I felt so sorry for you while reading your post. Hope you're feeling better. I know what you mean about the guilt. I have to have someone take off work to take me for my treatments. That's why I keep trying to find a way of taking care of myself. I also feel guilty about DH. Not just when he takes off work...but, things around here that needs to be done. So simply a task for others....

    Sunny...I meant to comment on your sleeping problems earlier. I'm up a lot of nights. Most of the time, I try to go to sleep, but get up & on the pc. Sometimes, I never even go to bed. I don't take naps, in hopes I'll be sleepy enough for the following night. There are times, though, that I go 3-4 days with no, or as little as 2-3 hours sleep. I've noticed most of the time it starts about 2 weeks before treatment time....which is in 2 weeks.

    Bluet....Hope that grandson is still doing well. When my son was born (25 years ago), he had to have his blood exchanged 3 times. It was from the RH factor. Dr wouldn't circumcise him then, because of him going through so much. We had to take him back when he was 2 yrs old....& it was rough on him. So, I'm so glad they are able to do it now.

    Sheila....or Bluet....We're needing a new thread. If you want me to do it...let me know. Just taking a long time to open. Hope everyone has as beautiful weather as we're having today!!
