Hello my buddies! Sorry I've been MIA, but things have been hectic.
Willie's party was great, we all had a wonderful time. Unfortunately, I must have already been getting sick that night, as I didn't eat a thing at the party and all I did was drink water all night. I chalked that up to being hostess and too busy to eat, etc., but the next day I was sick. I had off until this past Thursday but was so sick I couldn't return to work. I went to the doctor and found out I have pharengitis (infection - throat) and rhinitis (kind of like sinusitis). Anyway, I've been taking antibiotics and today's my first day back at work, although I still feel lousy. But, the party went really well, lots of dancing and speech making. For once, all of our kids were at the same place at the same time and so we got a nice photo of them with willie. Being so busy, though, I forgot entirely that I wanted to take a picture of him, me, all the kids and grandkids, oh well.
My son Steven came in from Florida and he picked up his kids and they spent most of the week with us and even though I wasn't feeling well I went on outings with them. We went bowling, to an amusement park and on Wednesday night Steven took us all out to a nice restaurant. He took them back to Philly and left for Florida on Thursday.
Jen and ZoeGirl -
WOW!! You guys are doing amazing, big congrats on the 25 lbs. and 10%
that is so wonderful
Jen, it seems like it wasn't so long ago when you were really down about the weight and your problems with your knees and look at you now! I'm so thrilled for both of you!!!
Es, amiga (you hot tomato you,
) - I hope the swelling goes down sooner then the doctor predicted. I give congrats to you too, no matter what you face, you never quit! That's a major accomplishment and one you should be proud of. You will do this, mi amiga!
Sandy, sorry to hear about Greg's tooth, sounds painful. Have your son's started High School/College yet? How is your mom doing?
Terri - I wish we were able to see that photo. Britts sounds like she has a rough schedule with work and school so late. Please give her my congrats on starting college. Alana starts Grad School next Monday - I can't believe I'm saying that
Her school is like 3 blocks from the house - how
is that? She still has to drive though, cause there are so many buildings on campus so her classes will be far apart from each other. I'm so proud of her!
Well, as far as the weight loss is going for me - it isn't. But once I'm feeling better, I will get back on track. I know how to do this and certainly have done it before - I can do it again, I have no doubt. Okay........... here it comes........ get ready for it............ "life gets in the way sometimes" and it has been in my way for a few weeks now
Okay, gotta get back to work - so good to come back in and chat with you guys. Will talk to you's soon.
Hi to everyone I haven't mentioned. I'm not sure who all is still with us.
Hugs,
Dianne
