HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHELLEY'S DAD!!!!!!!!:woo: :hug: :gift:

Gayle ~ That's wonderful news about Steve! I'm so glad that the surgery went well and that his vision is back to normal and it sounds like his sense of humor is still intact too! :lol:

Gayle-It's amazing what they can do now a days with medical stuff. I'm so glad that Steve came through everything fine.

Suzy-Is Travis here just for the week? When does he have to go back?

Dee-Hopefully your mom won't have to be on oxygen for too long. I'm sure it's for the best and will be a pain until she gets used to it.

Tonight is prom night, so I'll be taking pictures and posting them. Becky is leaving at 4:30 and Patty isn't leaving until probably 5:30. Problem-I won't be able to get a picture of them together! Patty has to work until 3:30.

We had a nice dinner for Dad. My mom backed him a pie and had happy birthday letters on it made out of dough. It was so cute.

Our school did fantastic on the Fl Writes! We averaged 4.0. There were only 3 schools higher, and those schools all have majority populations. Our minority rate is 80%. We are so proud of our kids.

Going out for a 10 miler. I'll post pix on the other thread later.

I tried to post prom pictures on the pix thread, but they are too big. I can't believe my babies are so grown up. I'm not sure how I can get them uploaded. I'll keep trying.

Thanks For The Pictures Shelley! ****stunning!!!!***

Good morning all! The weather cooperated with us and we had a wonderful welcome home BBQ yesterday for Travis. Lots of food, fun, family and friends...it was a good day. We're all going out to dinner and to the mall tonight, so I get a day off from cooking. We have to take them to the airport Thursday morning back...who would have thought that 10 days could pass by so quickly?

Suzy - I am so Happy for you! You waited a long time for this week. Enjoy every minute.
Shelley - Did you manage to post the prom pics? I would love to see them.
I weighed in this morning at my WW meeting. I was down 2.8 pounds. Total of 14 in four weeks. I find it very easy right now to stay on program.
I am renovating my bathroom so that is keeping me very busy.

Janice, great job on the weight loss! 14 pounds in 4 weeks is awesome!

Suzy, it seems like the days have slipped by quickly!~ I'm sure you are going to miss him dearly. How often will you be able to see each other?

Shelley, how did the prom go for the girls?

Dee, how is mom?

Prom went great for the girls. Janice, PM me your email addy and I will email the pix to you. I can't get them to load onto 3FC. The files are too big.

I got my hair cut shorter than it's ever been. Boy, is it curly! I really like it though because it is very easy.

Work has been quite hectic. I've got so much to do with end of the year. Principal is back today from Italy, so it should be very, very hectic.

Love to all!

News Alert

Mom got out of the hospital yesterday afternoon! Guess what? She is breathing well enough that she doesn't need oxygen! Thanks for all the prayers. I beleive they helped because just on thrusday they said that she would need oxygen all the time.

Shelley I would love to see the prom pics. You must be so proud. While you are sending me them send me one of your new cut. My girl friend has really curly hair like you and she used to keep it shorter. It looked really cute on her.
Even though your principal is back doesn't mean that you have to be super women and stress yourself to the max. Accept that you can do only what you can do, not what they want you to do.

Janice wow 14 pounds. You are doing an amazing job. Keep doing what you are doing because it is working. What kind of bathroom renos are you doing? I hope that you have more than one bathroom.

Suzy today is only tuesday so don't start thinking it is over yet. You have to dwel in the moment, but 10 days do pass quickly. I am sure that you made many special memories. Today should be fun for you, just taking it easy.

Gayle hmm some nude pictures,eh? Well let me see what I can dig up.....lol I am sure that if it was Larry he wouldn't be able to see as well as Steve. He would have two black eyes swollen shut.

Sherry sent me an email and she is all settled in. She needs prayers for Wayne. He isn't feel well and is going for some tests to see what is wrong. Chris left this week so she will miss him.

Dee and Janice-I'll get the photos out to you. My computer keeps shutting down again.

Dee-I'm so happy your mom if off oxygen. She must be quite the fighter!

I am getting scared. I have to be secretary to principal and bookkeeper for the month of August. The secretary is retiring for 1 month, then coming back. You can do that in our school system. I'm not quite sure how it goes, but all I know is I'll be working double. I could do it very easily if I wasn't at the front counter. If I have a breakdown, you girls will know why.

Janice-Your weight loss is wonderful!! Keep up the good work.

This is a short post. I'm afraid the puter will shut down again.

Love to all!

Shelley thank you for sending the pictures. About your job in august could you not explain it to your boss and ask for some help, even if it is only part time.

Where is everyone?

Dee- We are supposed to hire a temp to answer phones. I'm thinking about asking if I can go in at 6:AM and get 1 hr of overtime everyday for the month, so that I can get everything done. She'll probably say okay.

I'm sorry I haven't been posting much. With my puter shutting down and also posting on the 25 mile challenge on the WW board, I get so confused. I'm a mess!

Shelley - they sure push you hard at your job. I don't know how you stand that kind of pressure. You are Wonder Woman. Hang in there. I guess all that running helps with your stress level.
Dee- What great news about you Mom. She is in my prayers. How is your pain these days? Did the shot you had help at all. Is there anything else they can do to help the pain?
I painted the tub surround and put down a new tile floor in the bathroom, painted and folk arted humminbirds on the vanity. I still have some work to finish in the bathroom. I have been looking for wallpaper for the hall and paint for the kitchen. I am going to strip the tiles in both those areas and lay new ones. I am too busy to think about over eating. I have lots of ideas for the bedrooms and laundry room. I noticed my hands a pretty swollen and stiff today so I will take things a bit easier.
Suzy - Treasure your time with Travis, I know you do.

A guy in the transportation dept. that I talk to practically weekly on the phone was killed in a motorcycle accident this morning. He wasn't wearing a helmet. You just never know when it's your time. Please pray for his family. Apparently, he was in a transition moving and they hadn't even been able to get in touch with his son to tell him. I don't know if he had a wife or not. I just feel very badly about it.
