Good Morning Calif........

Good Morning Calif. Crew………   Well it looks like I am the only one up and moving. I started coughing at 3 and just barely stopped. UGH!!. It felt like there was something stuck in my throat. Maybe I swallowed a bug why I was sleeping?!? I drank a whole bottle of water trying to stop the cough, but it was stronger, and thinks it won. HA!!! I just changed to coffee and handled that pesty cough.   I got this phone call last night, a person I know that had the surgery almost 1 ½ years ago, is having a hard time with cross addiction. Instead of food, now its sex. Being married, its hard. (other half is out of the county for 6 months) We talked about how this is normal, (the cross addiction) We talked and worked out a few plans, that I hope helped. Plus I told them to call any time, and we will talk. Never hearing of cross addiction, this truly scared them. Gave them some home work, with the hopes that that will help them understand what they are going though.   Rhonda………….Since we talked last night, I know you had a great time at the coffee. Now you are all ready for your first walk. I am so proud of you all. Give big hugs and kisses to MY babies.   Chris………..WOW! that is great about your cholesterol level. I have heard of someone else that uses that CoQ10 and how it worked for them, but can not remember who. That is a great drop., keep up the great work. I wish I could do the day walk with you, but do not like having to get the money donations. I can not wait to hear about your 3 days.   Janine………….I hope you and Hunter was able to enjoy your day at the Living Desert.   Naomi…………..I hope you had a great time at the coffee and lunch. Good luck on your walk also.   Steve………I hope you and D had a great time at Dland. Glad things are a bit easier for you.   Monica…….Trust me, the dog is enough. He is so small you don’t want to hurt him. And so darn cute. LOL I hope you was able to enjoy you time in the garden. That is a great way to get some vitamin D.   Sue……………..I wish you and DH the best of luck on the house. I hope you are doing better and I am sure Sammi is a great nurse.   Barb…………So did you get mine invite in the mail?  Should I go and check? I best your buddy Steve cheated at the game, check the replay. I know that you would have won other wise. Enjoy your time doing nothing.   Robin……….Soooooo what did you do? Did your mom come over and take care of the kids? Come on….do tell   Nancy……….How is your hunny? I hope he is felling much better. Did you get your closet clean? And make room for your new stuff?   Dawn………….I am sure Bandit is just as cute as Frankie. How you not just stop and spend some time loving them, just makes it hard to get anything done. Sorry to hear about the Poppy Festival. That darn wind can stop lots of fun.

OMG I just wrote a novel...maybe I should delete it!!! Morming LuLu!!! Hope you have a good day!!!

Good Morning Lu and Cali,

I'm glad you could conquer your cough.

The little one and I have been up since 4am.  She just fell back to sleep and now mom has to get this weeks reading done so that she can take the quiz.  We had a  blast at coffee and then lunch afterwards. 

After her dad came we did go out to the garden for a bit.  I love looking at the plants each morning to see their progress.  Jordyn got her spade and dug in a pot of dirt until mom couldn't take it any more. (she likes to throw it in her hair).  But your right its a great way to get some D so I make sure she gets her 15 min. daily.  She loves outside and being active so I encourage it as much as possible.

Everyone enjoy the day

Monica

OMG did you write a book or what?  Did you take a pill or something?  My goodness.  But it was cool.  I had to go back three times as I kept forgetting what you wrote about me!  lol it is the sometimers I have I think.  Sometimes I remember and sometimes I dont.  Well I am so looking forward to the walk.  I would like to be your running buddy but I have to find a sports bra, so let's go on a hunt for one that will hold these boulders and you can count me in.  Well today I have 3 teen boys that spent the night and I have promised them pancakes, shame on me.  They were working on a school project and my house is the house they all meet out of course so that is what I have planned for today and then I think I would like to take a picnic and go hiking somewhere fun.  We shall see as I have so much to do next week I have relatives coming next week.  They are my sister and brother in law.  He is a pastor and he is going to Peperdine to speak to other pastors.  So I have to be really good for 3 days.  lol  But they are super fun people and loving people so that is a good thing.  Well I better let you all go.  Thanks again ladies for the wonderful freindship and clothing yesterday.  Jean you have my number give me a call and we can set up the plans for the Revlon walk.

Good Morning LuLu and Cali,
I can't believe I am up this early on a weekend and it's not because I want to be.  I just couldn't sleep anymore.  Yesterday was my Celebration run and I ran 26 miles.  WOW!  It was an amazing moment and accomplishment for me.  9 most post op and I just ran a marathon.  Never in a million years did I truly believe that was even possible even throughtout my entire training.  It was a moment of pure bliss and I want to thank all the OH's that have supported me through my journey. 

As for today, I am taking my lil man to a carnival and spending the day relaxing and enjoying life.

Happy Sunday Cali!

Congratulations Lola!  What an accomplishment!  You and all of you doing marathons, etc are an inspiration to us all.  So much so, that I'm going to attempt my first 5k (walk, of course).

Good Morning Cali!! 

OMG! We got away yesterday, it was so nice! we dropped the kids off at my mom and dads and went down to Ontario Mills...I LOVE TO SHOP no really I LOVE TO SHOP ! But the funny thing is, we go without the kids and end up buying everything for them...everytime we walked into a store it was " OH Warren would love these pants" or "OH Brody has to have these"  What the hell when you finally get away from the kids it feels like all you do is think about them! lol
We also had dinner at Denny's that was nice we havent gone to restraunt in so long because Brody is "at that stage"  lol he screams, plays drums with the silver ware and trys to get on the table! LOL I know it sounds fun...but believe me, its less than fun!! :P lol
So we got away ( even though all we did was talk about the kids and shop for them) IT WAS NICE!! 
have a great Sunday everyone!!
Robin
