Happy Mothers/Sun........DAY
True to form, here I am you guys....I know I should be in bed, but I have been there the majority of the day and night and I was getting some assitis!!! Need a new position....like flat on my back or my knees bent and that is about it!!!
Happy Mothers Day to all of you Mommies out there in OH'land and that goes for mom/dad's too!!!! We have the most underpaid job in the world, but you know what? I would never trade being a mom for nothing. My son yesterday (James) was so concerned and trying to get some of my bandages to stick...he was pretty funny. James dotes on me a lot. They are coming over here this morning to make me breakfast in bed.
I have not been able to eat really....some juice I could get down and a protien bar and I almost had that come back up on me. I was told I could eat to tolerance, but that is not going over really big. I have drank enough water to fill my swimming pool...just kidding but a lot of water...and stupid me got on the scale and I am up 5 pounds since the day of surgery, but I am very bloated too...I am not worried because when all is said and done, I will have lost...it was just hard to see those numbers climb! My hands look like little sausages!!! LOL
Rhonda, Jean, Naomi, Michael and I do believe Lori C walked too....congratulations all for doing such a fine job! I am so proud of all of! I knew it would be a cake walk for all of you...you you walker/runner girls!!!
Jen....did you walk yesterday too in Sacramento? You made such a beautiful sign to display Laura's name!!! I have not sent it to her family yet, but I will for sure!! Thank you again....and btw Jen...Rhonda also walked for Laura...and Chris S is putting Laura on her hat too!!! How cool is that everyone???
Lisa in Modesto....hang in there little girl...maybe it is a good thing your boyfriend are taking a break. It might strengthen your relationship or it could go in the opposite direction...hard to say....just know right now is all about you and taking care of yourself.
Congratulations Bella on getting your surgery date....I hope someone will step up and be your angel. I could, but I am in the desert.
Joy I sure hope that your back is going to get better soon...OMG that is so wrong that your sisters do not help out. Just remember, you will have a place in heaven for the person you are...they...well nevermind. How is the remodeling going? I am sure you are not even touching it right now!
Barb...I would love to hear the music that you performed. I am in awe of anyone who can play a musical instrument....way out of my league...I am not an auditory learn...so not only can I not play an instrument, I cannot learn a different language either. Is your hubby counting the days? Sounds like you and your mothers are going to have a great weekend, and how cool a teahouse party thingie!!!
Hey Karen...I heard the OC swap meet is really good...one of these days maybe I will get out there for it. I have not been to one in years! Oh and Journey....wow does that band bring back a lot of memories...I wanna go home to my city by the bay!
Monica...happy mothers day to you also gf!!! Do we ever have the mothers day that is something we want to do? Not usually!!! I do not care really, but I am grateful that my boys are doing something for me....their version!! When they were in their teens, I would say the best present they could give me was letting me out for the day to ride my motorcycle. They didn't care very much back then....you know teenagers!
Little Michelle....did you make it home from Chicago...so sorry that you got ill while there...dampers the trip and I surely hope that your ears are not killing you from the plane ride. I hear colds and flying do not go together too well!I bet you can hardly wait to be back with your granddaughter!
Chris did you get to go and see Star Trek oh wait that is tonight? I know there were pretty big lines around down here for the sneak preview. Hard to believe that Star Trek is still going after all these years. My family were big fans of the Trekies! How is your ear doing?
Eileen sorry that you only get one day off...that is just wrong...everyone should get at least 2 days off in a row! How was the support group meeting?
Hey Happy Anniversary to you Katt....I hope that your hubby spoils you rotten and you go girl getting those pants...I do not think I gave you kudo's for that!
Robin are those little fellows of yours going to spoil their mommy good? I sure hope they do!
Dang Nancy you are doing super fantastic....did you think you would be peeling off those sizes like you are? I think it is just remarkable.....and I am so so happy for you!!! How is that little pouchie doing? That stuck feeling is horrible and I still get it on occasion. I do hope you are feeling better!
Carol you are probably resting I hope as you have a big trip ahead of you!! I am a native San Franciscan, but you know I would never move back there...but love love visiting for sure! I have a good friend from high school that lives in Orange!
Delores...look I don't think I stayed away for a day even! LOL I am telling you as much as I hurt, it feels a lot better being up and about within limits of course! What are your plans for Mother's Day?
Jules....OMG what a great story but I wish you would have listened to Miss Jean and gone after him...lawyer eh? Maybe you two will run into each other again...that would be way cool!!!
Okay Terry what is up with you for the weekend?
Sue I sure hope you have heard something back on the offer for a home. It would be such of gift for all of you! Work girl...I would say something if you feel like they can't kill you in a week and a half....but sometimes you have to set some boundries! Keeping big Sam in my thoughts that one day he will find relief with his back...poor guy!
Nikki when is your next PS date? Yeah we can do some whinning together as long as you bring the cheese LOL!!! I am glad this is behind me so to speak. I am going to be anxious to see how the girls look. I am telling you right now I feel like I have no boobs....but they are in a super duper binder right now from under my arms almost down to my waist....or should I say belly button. I do not think my dragonfly tat around my belly button was interrupted to bad. I will get it redone if I have to!
Maureen I think you and Rhonda are cut from the same cloth with all the work you get accomplished all the time!!! You two scare me! LOL
Dawn for sure I will be at their graduation...I have to be...I have never missed one...and I know they will be upset. I just do not like to let them down...so no matter what...I will go....I think my husband might have to if I have a problem driving! I hurt really bad under my arms on my ribs.
Naomi....how is your knee feeling after running? I cannot believe it that you ran like that? Rhonda called me and told me! I sure hope you guys post some pictures soon! Take care of that knee gf!!!
Linda how are you feeling? I sure hope that you get a date really soon for that stint to be put in....just know that there is light at the end of the tunnel!
Gus love the new board pic! I am sure you and Anna are just have one of your usual fun filled weekends!
Ms Shells....thanks for the well wishes!! Angela is kicking some serious bootay!!! Tell her congratulations...I am really happy for her!
Heather thanks for the well wishes...see I am not doing bad...I surely did not think I would be doing a shout out this soon, but I had to get out of bed for a while! I hope you are having a nice weekend!
Well I cannot think much more, I am kind of in a drugged state now and the pain is subsiding...so I think I should go and crawl back in bed for a while.
Again...all of you...thank you for the tremendous amount of support you all have shown me. I am kind of blown away and I feel that all your positive energy that you are sending my way has helped me a whole lot!!!
Have a great day everyone and does something for yourself and make someone smile that looks like a big grump!!!!

Janine, you are amazing. I enjoy looking every morning for your daily post. You are an inspiration to All. I know, you get tired of laying in one position and new surroundings are good. Even, if it is in another part of the house. LOL!! Please take it easy and enjoy your son's today Happy Mother's Day, Chickie!!!!!
When you get feeling better, and if you are out cruising, by all means, let me know if you are coming to OC and I would love to meet you and go to the Swap Meet.
Saw Journey year ago February at the Irvine Amphitheater and they were awesome. The new lead singer is great.Our three kids, my husband and myself went and had a blast. City by the Bay is an awesome song.Can't wait to see them again.
Well, take care my friend and I wish you well and take it easy.
Happy Mother's Day to Everybody, enjoy the day, with a smile in your Heart

Happy Mothers Day, to all the mommies!!!
Now you know better than to get one that scale!! Evil after surgery, swelling and all that. My next surgey is Thursday. I am not nervous or excited, it is more like lets just get this done. I will be in binders from boobs to waist, no fun and of course more drains. They may have to put 2 sets in, I hope not I hate drains!!!! So here have some cheese and lets go, lol!!
Oh well off to get ready for work. All the moms at work are complaining that they have to work today. Guess I will be the only one really working.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day. Be good to yourselves and those around you!!!

Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations.
I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty,
believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.

I am so glad that you are able to get up and move around and do your post...you rock girl. Just take care of yourself and rest....you know the drill. And thanks once again for the amazing shout out...
Yesterday was awesome...I didn't take to many pictures but I am going to get them up and on picture trail when I am done posting here....Naomi and Lori took more than I did so I will get copies of theirs. It truly was an awesome day and OMG so so so many people. I think it took us about 30 minutes to inch up to the actual start line of the walk. I would love to know how many miles we really walked what with walking from the car to the start and walking all around the venue checking out the booths then walking around inside the colosium to say nothing of walking up the zillion stairs to get OUT of the colosium - but hey - it was all worth it when I look at my medal.
Naomi rocked it for sure. With her bad knee and everything she is such the trooper and finished the race with flying colors...although hurting big time by the time we got to the car. YOU ROCK NAOMI....I hope you are ok this morning. I know I am a little sore this morning but it is that good sore that you know you did something great.
So today for me is working an estate sale for my friend. So pretty soon I need to get in the shower and get ready for another long day.
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to all of you moms out there. It is one tough job but one I am sure is worth it. Do something for yourself today..
Ok all - time for a cup of coffee and a tylenol.
Have a great day.
Good Morning Janine and Cali guys and Gals!
Happy Mothers day to you all. I have no idea what the day has in store for me today. SOmething fun I hope and a little walk would be nice also. Kids are in charge today should be fun. I got my first Mothers day gift yesterday from Ms. Jean she gave me a beautiful rose. Thank you Ms. Jean. I had such a great time with the ladies yesterday. Mike had a grand time and could not figure out which lady was more fun than the others. He did say Jean was more like a teenager than the rest though! (I think that is a huge compliment). He had a great time also and is so proud of his medals. I heard from another pal that I am doing a 10k next Saturday. I forgot I said I would or maybe I was drunk I don't remember actually. lol. Well That is all for now. Thanks Karen for all the sweet comments and I want to go to the Swap meet with you guys when you go. I love the O.C. swap meet it is the best.
Rhonda
You are so welcome for the rose - you deserve it for being such an awesome mom. And as far as being like a teenager - wowza - give that little man a big hug and smooch for me...he is such a sweetheart and so adult...it was a pleasure having him with us...except I got nervous when we lost him momentarily in the crown inside the colosium....I tend to get panicky when young ones are out of sight even for a minute. I had a blast yesterday as well and can't wait to do another one. Maybe I will attempt a 10k sometime.
When you all go to the OC swapmeet I want to go too. I also love that place and haven't been in years and years...to bad I am working the estate sale today as the locationis right by the swap meet....darn it.
So you have a great day and give all the kiddos a hug from "auntie" Jeannie......especially my little Lexie and Sean and Sarah and Mikey...
Hugs to you all.
Hey did you whip that hubby when you got home? Tell him that its a good thing he wasn't around all of us or we would have brained him for letting you leave with a broken jack and bald tire. I bet he will be getting a new jack and tires TOMORROW....lol
Hugs to you my friend

Hey Jean, you are welcome to go to the Swap Meet anytime we go. Would be fun to do a day at Swap Meet, lunch and just hang out with everybody.
Maybe we can do that when Janine feels better.
The O C won't be the same with this group !!!! LOL!!!!!
Glad you gals and guy had a great day yesterday..
Have a great day.
Hugs & Love,

Karen
