Thank you all for your kind words. It was a rough day yesterday, I held her in my arms until she was gone. I am so sad but I know it was the right time. I prayed so many nights that she would go in her sleep but it just wasn't meant to be. I loved her so much but couldn't let her go on any longer as she was. I will always have my memories and still have my little Maggie. She is sad too today, I guess they sense things. Mag has been Sheba's ears and eyes for the past year.
Thank you all again for your prayers and kind words.

Janice-Again hugs to you and your Maggie. I'm sure Maggie does know Sheba is gone.

Hugs Janice, my thoughts and prayers are with you sweetie. We have a little Maggie at our house too.

Janice you made the right decision even though I know it was tough.
I am glad that you have a little Maggie to kiss and love you. How old is Maggie?

This weekend we are renting a cottage on the lake. Larry and I are looking forward to spending some quiet time there. It is very beautiful and romantic. The leaves are changing color therefore the water reflections will be awesome.
Now if I can only kick this cold I picked up a couple of days ago. I have been sick with a fever, sniffles and sneezing (ouch this is the worst becasue of my back). I haven't even had the energy to do any exercise or making meals or anything.
Got to keep anyone else from getting sick.

Hey, girls. I have been very busy once again at school. The information specialist (person who inputs all the students, etc.) is out of town due to her father's serious stroke. Please pray for her. Looks like I am learning yet another aspect of the school. Now, the only thing I don't do is teach!!

Dee- Get Well! The weather is so up and down this time of year its so easy to get sick. Hope you are feeling better.
Maggie is 14 only 6 months younger than Sheba. She is a poodle pomeranian, and Sheba was a husky. She is only about five pounds.
She is very sad and screams when I leave her. I have to go to a course for work today. Amanda is going to take her with her to the senior day center where she works. She will get lots of attention. She has been Sheba's eyes for the past couple of years, and would always come and tell me where Sheba was in the yard. It is such an adjustment for us all.
You all don't know how much your kind words have meant to me. I love you all for being there for me. You truly are a wonderful bunch of ladies.
I have been trying to stay on program and have actually been good for about a week. Got all the sugar out of my system so the cravings are gone.
Thank you all again for the bottom of my heart.http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/206.gif

Janice thank you for the well wishes. I am feeling a bit better this morning. I think the fever broke.
With all the stress that you have been through this week you did a great job staying on program. I guess you aren't a stress eater like me.

Shelley I think that you need a raise. Heck I will double your income for all you do. Your school is so lucky to have you. Don't burn yourself out.
Any luck with Mike getting a job?

Gayle did you check out any of Eckhart Tolle books or audios?

Cheryl are you over the morning sickness? I hope that you have more energy but somehow I remember that only happenning a week before the baby is due.

Dee, I don't think I'm EVER gonna get over being sick. Every time I think I'm getting there I'm overcome!! I'm 15 weeks and I puked yesterday (sorry for TMI!).....I've resigned myself to the knowledge that I'm gonna be one of those women who is sick for 9 months :(

On a + note: Stewart wants me to take a VHS tape to the Dr. tomorrow so he can see the ultrasound. That makes me happy :D

Cheryl that is great that Steward is taking an interest in being an active parent even while you are prego. Are you going to find out what sex the baby is?

If the baby cooperates!!

That is exciting! Any guess as to what you are having?

We should have a survey voting to see what are premonitions are.....

I say you are having a boy.

I'm thinking boy too, Dee! Won't we make great little aunties??? LOL!

You bet Aunty Gayle! My neices and nephews call me Aunty Dar Dar.

So anyone else have a guess as to the baby's sex?????

I probably won't be posting now til next week. I have to go and finish packing. We will be at the lake this weekend. Looks like we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.

On another note, guess what? You girls aren't going to believe this........Larry bought me tickets for the Paul Anka concert for monday night. I absolutely love him. If he was twenty or thirty years younger I would hit on him....lol He sings such romantic songs......(sigh).

Ok now girls I gotta go. Have a great weekend.

Cheryl good luck at the doctors and I hope you make through the weekend without getting sick.

No baby gender guesses for me, but I'm excited to hear what the ultra sound shows!

Janice ~ Hugs to you, my friend...I know these are difficult days for you. I lost my Sadie in March and I still miss her terribly!

Dee ~ I'm glad you are feeling better! Enjoy your trip this weekend and the concert on Monday!

Oh, miss mommy to be.... I PMed you something...

Dee, have fun!!! I thought you was going to say Wayne Newton! LOL! I haven't had time to check out the books. Between Allison and myself, we have almost every night of the week filled with classes, meetings, etc. plus, trying to do this wedding thing...

Suzy, don't you think all of us here are going to make great aunties for little Stew??? I'm getting excited!
