Hello everyone! Back from Branson! The trip was pretty good--Jake cried just about all the way up there, though. Mom and I finally figured out that it was because his car seat was in the car wrong and he was sitting up too straight. When we fixed it, he was fine :)

I don't know if I'm gonna get in on the challenge this time. I appear to be in a slump, and, generally, I tend to do WORSE when I start pressuring myself.

I thought I was pregnant last week, but when I took the test it came back negative :( I'm beginning to wonder if I'm going to have to go back on birth control pills for a couple of months to regulate myself again so I can conceive.

BigSexy. I had to have my cat, Baby, put down in November of '07 due to complications with diabetes. It hurt like the dickens and I still miss her. I hope things go well with Moose. Maybe the heart murmer is something that can correct itself? You know sometimes babies are born with heart murmers, but they go away. I don't blame you for holding off on getting a new dog, vet bills can be very expensive.

Talk to you all later,
Cheryl

Cheryl - it will happen when its meant to be, stop worrying.
I miss the scale but I think this is better for me. I was on and off it a few times a day. It I had a lose it was an excue to eat something. This way I won't know until Tuesday's how I'm doing. So far it has kept me on my toes. Hopefully I will see a big lose on Tuesday.

Thanks, Janice. I keep telling myself it will happen when the time is right, it's just that Jake happened so FAST! I guess I was thinking it would just always be that way :o I'm trying to be patient--what else can I do, right?

Cheryl, even if you never have more children, you have Jake who is a true blessing. Try to be patient and everything will work out for the best. Maybe you need a few evenings of romance and some of that wine you like?? LOL!

Cheryl, God blesses us with children in His time, not ours. When the time is right, you'll have another baby. For right now concentrate on Jake and spending time with him. :hug:

Cheryl what a surprise I got in the mail today! Thanks! Jake is getting so big. He has changed alot since april. He looks like a boy not a baby. Good luck with a new conception. It will be in god's perfect timing.

I hope you all have a great weekend. We got frost last night for the first time so I was out pulling up my annuals. This weekend we are suppose to be in the mid 60's with sunshine. Larry is working on the metal cladding on the windows so he will enjoy the good weather. We would have gone camping if he had done this chore sooner.

My friends just got back from Europe. They were gone 5 weeks. We will be going to visit them tomorrow night. She is cooking us a shrimp dinner.

I think that I will go on a walk with my poochie. It is already dark but my back and leg is pretty sore and walking helps reduce the pain.

Shelley I am so jealous of Larry right now. He just booked a fight to Ft Myers. I wish that I could go so I could get to meet you in person. That would have been awesome.

Oh my gosh! Why is he coming to Ft Myers??

Shelley I looked up where Larry is going to be on Google maps. He will be 8 miles from where you live! Dam I wish I could go. He is going to visit a company that they are doing work for.

Wow! 8 miles north or south? I work about 8 miles north of my house.

Shelley it is 8 miles north. It is a place called Monktons (sp?) I will check with him later on the spelling and get the adress again. Cool isn't it?

Hey Cheryl, I wish you all the luck in the world with getting pregnant. My husband and I have been discussing more and more getting pregnant so I hope it goes well for us too! Like everyone else said, don't worry about it. You never know what God has in store for our lives or the baby's life--he has perfect timing. My pastor said once that God says, "If you could see as I see, then you would do as I do." That just really stuck with me! Good luck! :)

How cool would it be if you two girls could meet! Dee, maybe you can sneak on board the plane??? I bet the two of you would have a blast!

Okay, I want a pat on the back today. I just came back from my walk by the lake today 2.55 miles in a snow storm. I just keep pushing myself and I did it. I was sick in bed yesterday with a head cold, chills, sweats etc. feeling better today.
Suzy - how is your heal feeling?

Talk about walking uphill both ways bare footed in a snow storm! I'd say that's about as close as it gets! :carrot: I'm currently sitting here debating about whether or not I'm going to go to McDonald's for lunch simply because I love those little game pieces! I can't believe I'm going to eat like 1,500 calories (they only come on the LARGE fry) because I like the game pieces. McDonald's is the DEVIL!! :devil: Ok....I just talked myself out of it. Vegetable beef soup.....here I come! :dance:

Good choice Big Sexy! Me D's can wait.

Janice I can't believe you had a snow storm. We haven't see snow yet and I certainly don't want to. It has been sunny and 0 at night but day time around 7-10. On the weekend it was 18.

Shelley the company is Munters and the address is 210-6th St S.E. It is an evaporater cooler company for turbines. I would love to come but Larry plans on taking me to Florida the end of Nov. I didn't want to say anything til I had the ticket in my hands. So we will have to wait and see. The only thing is I will be in Orlando. If there is anyway that you could come visit me I would love it. I am going to be there for 9 days.

Gayle are you staying out of trouble? I don't think so......cause we haven't heard much from you.

Cheryl you are lucky to be able to go to Branson so often. I am glad that you are able to get away and enjoy life.

Suzy keep your hands off those yummy sugar cookies. i would help you by eatting a few if I was over there. ;)

I had a Pain Clinic appointment yesterday. The last procedure was a fail. On thursday they are going to try something new. They will try injecting cortison (sp?) into my spine hoping that they hit the area that is causing me pain. They said that they will not give up on me but will continue to try new things. I feel like a guine pig.
