HAPPY BIRTHDAY WAYNE!!!!! I hope you have a very special day!

Shelley, I am leaving in the morning and won't be home until Monday evening.
I wanted to wish you a very, very, very happy birthday so you wouldn't think I forgot you! I hope you have a very special day on Monday, you deserve it! LOVE YOU!!!!!

Thanks, Gayle! I am depressed because I didn't meet my Memorial Day goal. I only lost 3 lbs. I'm going to weigh myself again tomorrow to make sure, though.
Have a safe and happy holiday weekend!
Love to all of you!

Shelley - At least you didn't gain it. :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHELLEY!!! Hope you have a special day today. You deserve it!!
:hb: :cb: :hb:

The pool party went great yesterday. It was around 89 degrees. It was partly cloudly but the storms didn't come until late last night. I think everyone had a wonderful time, even had over night company.

Sherry.... I hope you had a good time yesterday. Thanks so much for helping clean up. Do you think you could come once a week for cleaning...LOL? I hope Wayne is feeling better this morning, he may have just over did it a little yesterday. He thinks he is as young as the other guys when it comes to water volleyball. Don't tell him I said that. :lol:

Ramona.... Thinking of you this morning. Please post when you are ready. We all know what you are going through and praying for your whole family.

Gayle.... Hope you are having a great trip. Maybe a little R & R for you and Steve.

Dee.... How are you feeling? My back was so stiff this morning and I thought about you. When is your MRI scheduled?

Jennelle.... Are you enjoying your summer yet? I am still having to plan Debbie days with school out.

Carol....How are you doing? I am ready to start a new count down. ARE you in it with me? We can do this !!! Want to know a secret??? I ate some {real} dessert yesterday!!! :o My DIL made a wonderful chocolate eclair pie. I couldn't resist. But I worked it right into my carb count for the day....I really felt like a real person for a minute...LOL.

Update on my Mom....Me and my sister are having to give her shots in her stomach twice a day for a new blood clot in her arm. She was also given 3 pints of blood while in the hospital which made her blood not thin enough. I am becoming a regular nurse these days...lol. Her anti-depressant meds have finally kicked in, so her spirits are much better. When I went to give her shot this morning she had me help her into the wheelchair so she could watch me clean. She is getting bossy again, which means she is getting better...LOL. Thanks again for all your concerns and prayers for her. She still has a long road ahead.

Hugs to all my Floozie friends that I didn't address personally.
Love you guys...deb

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHELLEY!!!

HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT DAY!!

I had 3 of the busiest days of my life on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so today I just took the day off. But I couldn't stay away all day from my Floozie friends!! :)

Debbie: :yes: I am ready to start the next count down with you!! You are doing great and I am so very proud of you!!! Tell me your secret, so I can lose, lose, lose with you!! BTW: You are a REAL PERSON!! :lol: Even having dessert and working it into your carb count!! WOW GREAT JOB!! :cb:

Sherry: Glad to hear your doing well. You'll have all that work done in no time now!! I am so jealous of you and Debbie. Living so close you can share pool parties!!!! :p Tell Wayne I said Happy Belated Birthday. I hope he gets the best results from his tests!!

Gayle: I hope you are enjoying your time away. You deserve it!! Don't kids have the greatest jokes around. I was just commenting to my daughter yesterday that it was so great to see the little ones get so excited over the littlest of things. My 21 month old grandson was tickled to death he could shut his own car door. He was so excited. Now if we could all remember to enjoy the little things and take pleasure in the smallest of things all around us daily. We can learn so much from kids!!

Shelley: I hope you are feeling much better these days after your little episode at school!! But Sherry is right too. You shouldn't hold that all in. Just let it out!! :bomb: You will feel so much better. Congrats on the 3 lbs lost!! You have nothing to be depressed about there!! Good Going!! :dancer: I am still waiting for it to "CLICK" for me!! :rolleyes:

Ramona: I am thinking of you!! Even though it was under such sad conditions, I bet it was great to see Ben!! Take care of yourself!!

Jennelle: That was a great joke. I loved it!! Are you planning "YOU DAYS" like Debbie? You should.. Remember the summer is short so you must take advantage of it!

Dee: How are you doing? It sounds like you are trying not to let the back pain get you down. You are still doing lots of things! I am glad to hear you are doing things for you too. Let us know when you are getting the MRI. I am praying they will find the answer for you!

Well on Friday morning about 8:10 I was on the way to work and I got a call from my Mom. She said she thought she needed to go to the doctor. You must understand that Mom NEVER wants to go to the dr. and we have to make her most times. Needless to say, I told her I would be right there and we would go immediately. She was very, very nauseous, couldn't turn her head without extreme pain, congested, and felt like she was going to pass out. She also said a few days earlier she was having some heart flutters. I wasn't sure whether to take her to the family dr., the onocologest or the hospital so ...

I called the family dr. and told them we were coming and they managed to work us in. Frankly, I didn't give them a choice, I said they either got us in ASAP or I was going to the hosital with Mom. I was not happy with the family dr at all. She barely checked Mom out as far as her head, neck and sinuses, but she did do an EKG which turned out fine. No problems there. Then she told us it must be her chemo treatment or medicines and that we should call that dr. What a waste. She didn't even call that dr herself even though she told us she spoke with him lots of times for other patients of hers.

I got on the cell phone as soon as we got to the car and I called the oncologist. He wasn't sure what was causing Mom's symptoms either. He didn't think it was the chemo. But he told us to come to the office immediately and he would check her out. After listening to mom's symptons and checking her out, he gave her different anti-nausea medicine, told her she could take Sudafed for her sinus (they had been bothering her and she didn't know if she could take anything with her chemo medicine) then after checking her neck he sent us to the hospital to have an MRI (brain scan) for the pain in her neck and up the back of her head.

The hospital was great and they worked us into their schedule so we didn't have to wait all weekend! The only thing is now we are waiting to hear the results of the MRI. It will probably be tomorrow sometime. I know the dr. is checking to see if her cancer had spread to her brain!

After all that running around we came back home, my sister came home from New Jersey for a couple of days (that was planned tho), so I was at Mom & Dad's until late.

The somewhat good news (although we are still waiting for the MRI report) is that by the next day Mom was feeling sooo much better. Between changing her medication and allowing her to take something for her sinuses, she was like a new person. She said she didn't even feel as tired as she had been. She even went shopping with my sisters, although they took frequent breaks so that she would not over do.

After shopping for groceries and running to check on Mom & Dad morning, Saturday was a family day for me and I took two of my grandkids along with my daugher to see the new movie Shrek 2, then the kids stayed all night along with my niece who was visiting.

Sunday we spent most of the day with Mom & Dad, then came home and mowed my grass (3 hours worth) and cleaned my car out.

I was gone from home for almost 2 1/2 days straight and my house looked like it!! So I spent today trying to catch up on my house work.

What a weekend!!! It hardly seemed like a holiday weekend even though I have been off work since Friday's episode!! I can't believe it is time to go back tomorrow. I NEED ANOTHER DAY!! :stress: I think I have given myself a headache now!! :lol3:

I hope everyone had a great day!!!
Talk to you all soon.

Wow, Carol, just reading your post wore me out! :lol:

We're actually leaving for vacation on the 5th and coming back the 21st, so I will have plenty of off time. :)

Hello :wave:

I hope everyone has had a wonderful, long Memorial Day weekend! We took time-out yesterday and went to Debbie & James' pool party and had a blast!! That was what we were needing!! Today it was back to painting and moving "more" boxes of Mom & Dad's.

Kinda down in the dumps today.I had to change my 25 lb. loss chick to 20 lbs. :( I weighed this morning and have gained 5 1/2 lbs. :( I'm back up to 171!! :devil: It's all my fault because with all this moving, cleaning & painting we have had to eat out a lot or grab something quick at home. I have just made bad choices. BUT today was a new day and so far so good!! I WILL get this weight off!!!!!!!!

I'm starting a new "Challenge Thread" for the 4th of July. I hope that everyone will join in!! :D

Carol,
I hope that your Moms MRI comes back ok. Man, You've had one rough & busy weekend girl!!! Your Mom is in my prayers and let us know when you hear from the test. Bless her heart.

Ramona,
How are you girl? If you need a "pick-me up", please come here and we will try to make you smile. We love you!!!

Dee,
How are you today? How's your back? How did the parties go with your Parents? Got pictures to share?

Gayle,
Are you back yet? When did you go btw???!!! I miss you!

Shelley,
I hope you had a wonderful birthday!! How did you celebrate it? BTW: That cake that you shared with us was FAT FREE & SUGAR FREE!! :lol:

Debbie,
Thanks again for a wonderful party yesterday! That's what we needed!!! Looking forward to spending another day soon by the pool! :)

Everyone else: Hope you're doing ok!!! Did you have a good weekend?

*Hopefully we'll be able to have everything done in the next 2-3 weeks and be completely moved in! I want to finish so I can enjoy a little of the summer before we hvae to report back to school!!

I'm going to start a new 4th of July Challenge thread now and call it a night!!

Love to all!! :grouphug:

Sherry-Please don't let the weight gain get you down. You have come such a long way. I am so proud of you. I wouldn't even bother to change the chick, because I'm sure it will come back off once things get to normal with you.

Debbie-I'm so glad that you are able to see Sherry so much and that you got her to take time off to enjoy your pool! I'll be up to see you and enjoy it too (I wish!!).

Carol-I am so sorry about your mom. Everyone seems to be having sick parents right now and it is really scaring me. I have been lucky that my parents are still in good health at 81 years young. I just wish that they would decide once and for all to move over near me. Now they are talking about not selling the house. They just can't decide.

Ramona-I hope that you are doing all right. I know that you are going through a very tough time right now.

Gayle-Are you back yet? I hope you had a nice time.

Dee-My friend, I wish I could make your pain go away. Remember that I am thinking about you all the time.

Jennelle-Have a great vacation!

Tina-How is everything?

Wanda-Are you EVER coming back??

Cheryl-How are you doing? Have I told you how proud I am of you for keeping up the exercise??

Well, I am typing on a new, faster computer. I love it. Mike worked on it all day yesterday, along with fixing my car. Also, I have been shopping with all the extra money that I have gotten for my birthday. I had a great day. We had a very nice dinner of barbecue chicken and corn on the cob, which is what I asked to have. My evil MIL gave me some money, as did my hubby. I found a few pair of pants and also got 2 pair of shoes are a ridiculously low price at Steinmart. All in all it was a great birthday. Also, I ran a total of 25 miles between Saturday and Monday!

Good Morning Ladies:

Today is a new day. I have let my weight get out of control and it stops today!!

Sherry: Thanks for starting the 4th of July Challenge. Count me in. I am on my way to sign on. I am surprised you gained, but part of it may be muscle for all that painting!! We all make bad choices occasionally, but we are back on track now. Lets do it!!

Debbie: I am in on your newest countdown as well. Lets get rolling!! Your doing great and I want to ride your rollercoaster on the downward spiral!! :lol:

Shelley: I am proud of your 3 lbs loss!! Your doing great and this next month we are going to do even better.

I refuse to let all the stress in my life get me down so I don't take care of myself. It is time to roll up my sleeves and get serious about this!!!

Thank you all for your well wishes for my mom. She is so much better already and we don't have the MRI results back yet. She has a Dr. appointment tomorrow morning, so I am assuming we will get the results then. I feel like it is going to be ok... I will let you know.

Ramona: Let us know how you are doing? We love you!

No time to post to everyone this morning, but I am thinking of you all.

Carol--I'm sure your mom's MRI will come back showing good results. Everyone down here (in AR) is having MAJOR sinus problems right now, and they can wreak havoc on your head/throat/body in general.

Shelley--late happy birthday! Hope it was a good one!!

Sherry--you'll get back into the groove once all the moving is done! Water aerobics will shrink you right back down--don't believe me? Just look at your fingers after an hour in the pool :)

Ramona--hope you're still hanging in there, chick. Thinking of you!

Hope all the rest of you Floozie's had a great Memorial Day week-end!

Cheryl

Hi everyone. I am finally getting somewhat back on schedule and I plan to include daily posts in that schedule. I just wanted to say a quick "hey" for now and I will post to everyone and bring you all up to speed when I get home tonight. I have some pictures to post and I will do that also.

I love you guys and thank you for all the support over these last 3 months.
