Hi gang--Sorry to be mia but I have had to long of a week end and Monday I was to wiped out to do anything but go to bed.

there isn't much news.

Got and email from H and R block stating that I have to snail mail my state return and I have no earthly idea where to start looking. uggggh thought taxes were over and done. Guess not.

Good Morning CEers!!!!
I'm batting my eyes this morning and sipping my trying to wake up. I have a big smile on my face cause we won our game last night. We won 9 to 1!!!! My girls did so well!!! It was a whole different experience last night, no fussing over the rules, no problems, just a great game without the stress. Now if I could just get the rest of my life to be like that. Kelli's team lost last night so I guess you take the bad with the good. She's kinda bummed out. They haven't lost but one other game all season. She is doing so much better these days, especially since she now has her own wheels. She doesn't like the tight rein I have on her but she will make it through. I got her a cell phone and make her text message me when she gets to her destination and when she leaves. Very little on her own time to just drive around. I can't help being over protective of her. She's almost 17 with strawberry blonde flowing curls and sunkissed skin that makes her absolutely beautiful!! And she has lots of spirit, not that I would ever want to shatter that, but just son't want to give her the opportunity to make it soar. Anybody understand that?


Ceejay~ Sorry to hear you have been feeling bad and having trouble with those taxes. UGH!! Hope this finds you feeling better.
Sue~ Yes, I do need more rest. I did rest yesterday some, I slept in, took all my Lasix and got a few lbs off but still need more. But today the other nurse is off and I've got like 10 patients to see. But God will go with me and get me through it.
standnngrace~ Thanks so much for your beautiful prayer!! {as she wipes the tear from her eye} You are so sweet!!! I loved your devotion. I'm going to post it on the frig and hopefully make it a flag to wave and get my attention before I eat. Thanks.
Michele~ To answer your questions, yes, yes, yes sometimes. :LOL: Here's the answers. Yes, salt in my diet makes me swell, especially any type of soda Yes, it's painful. Yes, I do take a diuretic when I can. But going house to house seeing patients makes it really hard. Some of them, I don't mind using their potty but others, oh my.
And I have been so busy, it's hard to take it. Normally I work M-W-F and every other weekend, so at least I can take my lasix every other day, but the last week and a half we have admitted 5 or 6 patients that are daily. That's 35-42 extra visits a week and there are only the two of us nurses. So, we always, pickup and see them and then it will drop back off. If they were to hire someone else, then when it drops off, then we wouldn't be getting our quota. Understand???
Judy~ So sorry to hear about your friend's pending divorce. That's so hard on the kiddos. Like a rollar coaster ride.

Well, I better hurry and get ready for work. Just wanted to take a few minutes while I sipped my to post. Hope EVERYONE HAS A GREAT HUMPDAY!!!!! Talk atcha soon.

Hello I just have a quick min. We have big wigs comming to our work and the boss is stressing. So today will be a late night. I really need to come home and get things done around here. My Ashli is having trouble getting her homework done and driving me nuts. Right now money is really tight please pray that things get better soon................ We have had a several big unexpected things happen and it is killing us................. But other wise I am thankful that things are going well. I feel I am still losing. I go back to the Dr. In two weeks and I will be able to tell then. My 16 yr old has prom Sat she doesn't even have a date (she didn't want one) she says then she doesn't have to worry about them wanting something after prom. She said most of her friends are going with just friends so she will have lots of people to dance with if she wants. Boy times have changed.

Well got to run. Prayers for all.

Hi everyone,

Went to my bible study this morning. We are studing Ruth. Thank God I have a fellowship of christian friends. Life is so hard nowadays. How can people survive without Christ in their life?

I need prayer for my friend who is getting a divorce. Her husband wants a legal seperation and a restraning order. They only lived as husband and wife for three weeks before his ex-wife seduced him. They have no property together so this seperation is so he can live in sin. He does not want her near him so she can't get evidence of adultery. She does not have the money to get a good lawyer. He lived in her home after they got married and did not help with the morgage or household expences. He is a big man and ate alot of food. She is disabled with a back enjury. She supports her son by watching other peoples children during the day.The only money he ever gave her was 50 dollars. They meet in a christan singles group ,and dated a year and a half before they married. The ex-wife never showed any interest in him until he remarried.My friends name is Karen. She is very bitter ,please lift her up in prayer.She needs to move on in her life for the sake of her son.


I'll write to everyone tomorrow

Luke 6:25
'Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.'


As Christians, we need to keep in mind that we live in a world of terrible inequality. While we have the opportunities to overeat and overindulge, many people have no such chances. So many people starve. It is surely humbling to realize that much of our obesity comes from living in a culture where we can have pretty much all we want. The Lord Jesus Christ chastised the people of His day who were filled with the good things of life, because they ignored their brothers and sisters who had nothing. As we diet and feel the hunger in our stomachs, we are more aware of the feelings of our neighbors around the world who do not have enough to eat.
Today's thought: Make me less, Lord: less body, less selfishness, less ego!

Hello all CE'rs,

It has ben hectic around here, and it just seems to be going downhill. I have been doing terrible lately, just can't seem to get back on program and stay there, so many functions to go to and so much to do. I find myself in situations where I just can't seem to keep from eating things I shouldn't, and there have been times I just ate!!! We are having some work done on our house and problems just keep popping up. I tell you I am so frustrated!! We are suppose to leave for vacation on Friday, we ware going to see our son in San Diego and to celebrate our anniversary on the 13th. I just wish we could just hold the home repairs till we get back. I am also worried about going on vacation and really blowing my eating plan. Ya'll please pray for me while I am gone to San Diego, please keep me in your prayers each and every day. Pray that I will have so much strength to resist foods I should not eat. It will be next to impossible to take along all the supplies I will need to stay on program, so I will need to eat a lot of salads and veggies and fruiits with some chicken and fish. I have only gained 3lbs, but that 3lbs could turn into 10 or 20 before I know it!! I have tried to catch up on the posts, but there is so much to do before I leave. I will check the site tommorrow, but that will be it till I get back on the 14th. May God Bless each and every one of you!! Happy Mothers day to you all !!
Love in Christ, aggie
