Hello Just 2 more days until the wedding!!!!!! I still have a lot to do! I started to post yesterday but by the time I got caught up reading I was out of time! I went tues to KY to see my aunt who is going though chemo she looks good but her cancer is a lg tumor that goes all the through her lung. I wanted to see her because this may be that only time I am able to take off for the rest of the year. Please pray for my Aunt she is so speical to me and she is at peace with what ever the Lord has for her. I also would like prayer for something that happen yesterday! I live about 20 minutes from church/school I have always worked nights so I could take my kids to school and pick them up. My 9 yr old has a learning problem and she also would not do her homework and it was to much for my DH to deal with by himself and getting all the other night things done with the other kids. Last year my youngest started Kindergarten 3 days a week full day so I ask a good friend of mine Rosie to watch Molli (she has a son in Molli's class) Rosie and I are good friends and she only watched her two days a week. She also took the kids to school 3 days a week and my other friend Debbie took them them the other two days. I offered them gas money and both refused because it wasn't out of thier way to take the kids (some of my older kids have babysat many times for both of them) Last year when my DD lost her Job Debbie called me up and was real hateful and said is Kelli going to be taking the kids after all she is not working! It hurt my feeling the way she talked to me and Kelli took the kids and picked them up until school was out (she got her job right when school ended) We really struggled with what to do about school this year and I ask Rosie if she was willing to help me by taking the kids in the morning (my son picks up) She said yes what ever I needed just let her know. Well to make a longer story short Debbie and Rosie have become best buddies and Rosie yesterday just up and told me she couldn't drive my kids anymore because it was to much on her. She was busy in the mornings (she does the Mothers day program on tuesdays and helps at preschool two afternoons a week) Now she drives right by my house everyday to go to take her kids to school. And Debbie was right by her when she said it and she said I can't drive for you either I am busy! These two are the only two who live close to me that it wouldn't be out of thier way so I might have to pull my kids out of school and put them in public. I am so crushed because we were all good friends and I could understand if she was feeling overwhelmed but she should have talked to me and gave me time to find someone else. And to matters worse she now takes another friend of ours kids home and goes way out her way to do it! I am really hurt! Debbie I am not surprised she is two faced I noticed that before with others but Rosie has been my good friend for a long time. We have been on many projects together and I thought of her as one of my bestfriends. I have cried and cried all afternoon I am really heartbroken to be treated so badly by my CHRISTIAN friend! Am I wrong to feel so hurt? This is not the stress I need 3 days before the wedding. My friend at the office is going to ask around and see if someone can help me out (my DD apt is right by church and I can drop them off there in the morning so maybe someone would be willing to stop in and pick them up from there) I am sorry I carried on and on. I have each of you in my prayers. I may not get to post until after the wedding but I will let you know how it goes! (Ps I let the dress out and it fits great!)

http://home.att.net/~scorh2/Animation2e.gif Sami....I'm so sorry..no one can hurt you as bad as another christian friend. I guess it's because you feel they love you with a christian love & wouldn't want to hurt. There's a lot of things we don't understand, but remember, the Lord knows all about it. Pray for them.....they need it. Show them as much love as you possibly can,when you're around them. THEY are really the ones with the problem. Of course, you have a problem... but a different kind. I'll help you pray that something will be worked out. Remember...if you need to talk, we're here. http://members.shaw.ca/Sunburn_69/hereforucandle.gif

Hello to everyone...hope all is well. Going to take my first day off in 2 weeks. Things are better at the station. Thanks for your prayers.

Sami~big hug for you sweetie! So sorry your friends are being so icky. You know, sometimes we do grow out of our friends and it is a shame, and i too think it's their problem, not really yours, except for the logistics. You will get through this, it just means there's something else out their. I agree it's best to treat them as a Christian, love them anyway and let them deal with their own issues.

I got up and took a 15-20 minute walk this a.m. in the pitch dark! It was a little windy and their was a few raindrops but it was nice and refreshing. I prayed the whole way and realized part of why i don't care to exercise, something about it pu[ts me on the verge of an anxiety attack. But i prayed through it and my goal is to do it this week through Sunday on the advice of my Dr. and because i want to make exercise part of my life. While talking to the Dr. yesterday a lightbulb went off and I found something i'm interested in and will pursue. Martial arts. I said maybe when I get this weight off, she encouraged me to do it now, said, why wait? She's right. Why limit myself?

I'm having a great start of the day! I hope you all have a wonderful day, especially you Sami! :grouphug: And remember, it's ok to feel emotion, hun. You cry if you want to.

Hi SAMI ~ I am so very sorry to hear all that just recently went on in your life. How very :( sad, for sure.

I was thinking... are you close enough to Rosie to ask her to meet with you in a neutral zone --- like church? I only know what I have done when a similar situation happened to me. I asked my friend to meet me at church and inside the church where it is quiet and a neutral zone (not to mention - it helps you to be in God's house, so you remember to speak kindly to one another). But I came out and asked my friend Why? And... What happened? We had silent moments, but spoke carefully to one another and DID get things ironed out. I bet we were there for hours. But when we left there, we understood each other and have been closer then ever since! Sometimes the unspoken questions can turn into a emotional volcanic type eruption of emotions that get distorted with time. So the sooner you can take care of this I think the better. I know you have the wedding coming up... so you'll know when you have the time and when the moment should be - if you stay close in prayer about it.
My heart goes out to :( you, Sami. And so are my Prayers!

I am holding you close in thought...
My best to you for your daughter's wedding day. Don't let anything spoil the day - you have worked so very hard.
GOD BLESS!!!
(((Huge Hugs)))

Good Morning Angel

Hi ANGEL ~ Always good to see you! I visited a couple of your post elsewhere and enjoyed your post on your grandchildren :) so adorable! Sounded like you were having a better day that day... you sound so good when you are feeling better - I pray you have more good health days ahead, Angel!

My continued prayers for your friends and all their trials... WoW, to have to preach for your friends funeral ~ very sad. So cool the way you have come through for all your friends at the station... God is Good! Giving you the strength you need to lend a hand.

Is this TV station you work at a local station? Or should anyone get it? I would like to see it, if I could.

Also did you finish correcting your website? Do you have a link to offer us, if so :?: I sure would like to pay a visit if I may.

You and your family & friends are in my continued prayers!
(((Angel-Hugs)))

I'm sorry that I haven't been posting much lately. I have company so it's hard to get a minute to get on here. It's been a busy place here and I haven't had time to read many posts but it sounds like you are all doing well.

Sami: I'm so sorry about your friend. This is especially hard when it's a Christian friend and an adult. Sounds like really immature behaviour. I am so glad your daughter's dress problem was solved. both her and you will look lovely on Saturday. Have a blast at the wedding and try not to stress out too much.

Gary: Parenting is fun isn't it? I'm praying for you and your nephew.

Michele: Way to go on the walking. I love to walk and don't do enough of it.

Sunny: I knew you'd love Curves. I am still enjoying it too. I had my weigh in yesterday. I'm up 1.5 lbs. which didn't surprise me but I had lost 1 inch off my hips and legs so that made up for it.
Our club has 10 machines and I think there are 1 or 2 more that they can get.

Well, I better get going to work. Have a great day!

Morning MICHELE! And it sounds like it is a very good morning for you! Wonderful! Yeah... afraid we are losing our sunlight :( , but when I go for my walks I usually go in the early mornings (4:30/5am) too. I love the quiet and the peaceful feeling... and as I finish up the birds begin their morning song --- so neat to hear! I walk every once in awhile about 2 miles.

I am so glad for you!! Great start to your day.

I was a bit sore and very tired last night, but feel good this morning! Slept HARD and slept well --- felt rested!

Hope you continue to have a Great day today, Michele!
Continued Success!!!!

MICHELE ~ I was still wondering --- where is FAIRBORN??? In Ohio??
You mentioned it in one of the earlier posts ;)

Hi everyone,

Feeling kind of blue today. I have alot on my mind. My daughters ex boyfriend was in a car accident. His truck flipped over. I talked to his mom on the phone yesterday and his hand is messed up but not bad. There are no broken bones or internal injuries. Car is totaled. I am harboring alot of anger and I need to clear the air. My daughters best friend ( if you can call her that) Started calling her ex boyfriend when they were still dating. This went on for awhile. He started recipicating the calls. Laura would then get a call from this girl bragging about her phone calls with her boyfriend. I happened to drive this young lady to school. One morning in the car she started up with the bragging. I got angry and explained to her how I wouldn't treat my friend that way. That you don't get on the phone with your friends boyfriend and talk for hour and flert with him. Now the girls mom is mad at me. I have no idea what she told her mom. Also my daughters boyfriend got mad and broke up with her. Now everyone is mad at me for calling the kettle black. I told my daughter you don't go out with friends boyfriends, you don't date ex boyfriends brothers or for that matter fathers period! Its just wrong! The mothers of these kids I love dearly. I talked to two other friends about it and they think I need to talk to the parents. If I do my daughter will hate me and this girl will make her life a living **** because she is vindictive.What should I do butt out or set up a meeting with these ladies when this young man recovers?HELP what is the christan thing to do?

~sami~ I am in the same boat should we ignore and stew or confront. What would Jesus do? Jesus forgave us so we need to forgive them right! How do we make this right? My daughter has a forgiving heart why don't I? She hates confrontation. I do not want to make things worse. Should I keep out of it? I'll pray for your issues, please pray for mine.

Two more days till the wedding. It will go fine. Im glad you got the wedding dress to fit.:high:Lots of prayers and love go out to you.

http://www.wholesalecountrygiftware....NKFRMABOVE.gifGood Morning CEers!!!!:wave:

It's so good to see the thread SO busy! I've come here several times to post and by the time I read all the posts, I didn't have enough time to post myself. :write: So, I guess you could say I have been LURKING. :lol:

I've had quite a time this week. That tooth I had pulled ended up a dry socket!! :rolleyes: I went back to the DDS yesterday to have it packed with medication and have another one pulled that is under the wisdom tooth coming in (at age 42, who knew?) but the DDS wouldn't even consider pulling the other one with me having so much trouble with last weeks tooth. So, wait another 3 weeks.

I have been doing pretty good with my WOE (way of eating) I was so exhausted last night from working most of the day and then having to drive an hour away to go the DDS and going by Walmart and getting a few groceries that I didn't even eat supper last night. Just drank a glass of milk and ate a couple of bites of protein and hit the hay. :tired:

A friend of mine and I have a thing going. My goal for weight loss is now NOT 150lbs!!! But instead ONLY 5lbs!!!! Let me explain: My goal is 5 lbs, and when I reach that I set another 5 lbs. The reasoning behind this, Anyone can lose FIVE lbs!!!! So, I only focus on the five lbs and then re-evaluate when I reach that goal and start again. My friend's DIL did this and has lost over 120 lbs now and had never been able to lose it before because it seems too overwhelming for her. Then when she cut it down it was a breeze. We could all use a breeze, couldn't we? :yes: So, that's my NEW PLAN.

Thank goodness I'm off today. I'm very tired and swollen since I didn't get to take my lasix yesterday. That would have been a disaster!! I would have had to use every tree between here and the DDS office!!! :lol: Anyway, I also have started a program that teaches how to make web pages so I can learn all about that and learn how to make graphics, etc... I love that!!! Maybe in the future if I ever become totally disabled I will have something to fall back on. I would like to become an expert. :yes:

Well, I have to do a little housecleaning now. Darn it, housework NEVER goes away. :lol: One of the things I hate to do. But, mr. nobody doesn't do it around here. :)

Hope EVERYONE has a GREAT day!!!! Prayers for all!!! SAMI~ Hang in there girl!!!! Good luck with everything!!!!! Hope to hear from you again soon. We love you!!!!

Sunny~Yes, Fairborn is in Ohio, but not sure where it is close to. I've never been there. But I have family there. Will have to look it up for you later.

Here's a thought for the day taken from a booklet called Good Stuff:

:cool: Only those who risk going too far will every know how far they can go.:cool:

SO LITTLE TIME---

SAMI ((((((PRAYERS!!!!!!!!)))))) HAVE A GREAT WEDDING- MOM!!!

SHERRY -- ISN'T THERE A SONG "5 POUNDS AT A TIME SWEET JESUS" NO? MAYBE THERE OUTTA BE!
