Thursday Roll Call

Went to workout this morning. its not raining yet here but it is coming!! I got work today and then tonight making the quiz for my class

Looks like the rain passed us for now. We need to start blowing it real hard to the southern area of the state and into SW IN by my sister, they both are dry as a bone.

Good Morning Chris & IL - The usual going on w/ me.  Just work.  I sure wish I was still .  I'm so proud of Calvin.  He is really taking a step in the right direction with his health.  He's got the patch on to stop smoking, he's walking when he gets off work and has now decided to join a 24hr gym, he's making healthier food choices, doing his food logs, getting all of his appointments scheduled.  He goes in Monday night for a sleep study.  Life is good. I posted last night that Janet is still in the hospital but is in good spirits and under very good care.  Please continue to keep her in your prayers.  She is a fighter! Hope everyone has a great day. Christina

Yeah for Calvin,  Do you think that last trip to the hospital shook him a bit?   You said he was more aware of his health after that?     If those patches get hard for him.......tell him to try Chantix!   I am blown away how they stopped me from smoking!    I am so glad all is well with you Pam

Thanks Pam... What is Chantix?  Congrats on no smoking!  When did you stop? Have a good one. Christina

 

Right at the moment I wished I could still be in for more . I woke up at about 415 and could not get back to sleep.  My internet was out last night because of the weather. Got a of things done for a luncheon today at work. Calvin - oh boy he has taken the bull by the horns and really knuckled down. You of course have a lot to be proud of. I wish you and him as many happy years as Dave and I have had + more. So, you have a lot to catch up on and because he is making wise life style choices you will eventually be at 30+ years like us. Chris

Good morning everybody.Hot and dry here in IL.I can`t believe all the stuff going on in the world in the last month.The minnesota Bridge Colapse,then the trapped Minors,deadly earthquakes now all this rain floods & mudslides,all the China recalls.I`ve been following the bridge story and the minor`s story ever since they happened.It`s enough to depress a person and wory about the future of this earth for our children.Well,I have Physical Therapy for my knee this morning,then I have to do laundry and clean the pig pen then slop my pigs when they get home from school.My brother is staying with us for 3 weeks while he`s going thru trucking school because it`s closer for him to drive from my place.I`m sorry to hear about Janet.I would send her a card but I`m so broke I can`t even afford a card.But she is in my thoughts and prayers.I`ll be glad when this PT is over.It`s not helping my knee at all.It`s making it worse as a matter of fact.My knee has hurt twice as bad and pretty much of the day since I started it.Well,I better get ready to go,my ride will be here soon. Have a great day everybody KimberlyB

Kimberly, so glad that you came in and joined us. It sounds like you have really full days with your livestock and household chores. I know it is really hard to be able to do all of it especially when a person's body is hurting with knee joint issues. But, you have a light at the end of the tunnel with WLS. Keep watching for it and it will be here before you know it. Chris

Hi Chris.Yes I can not wait to get this surgery done.I`m so sick of being inside this sick and broken down body.I went on strike today at my house .My son is the absolute most forgetful person I know.WHEN it comes to chores,rules and responsiblity.But when it`s something HE wants to do?He`s up and gone.Hmmm.Seems to have plenty of energy then.And can remember everything he needs or  wants to do.My husband is about as lazy.When he does try to help me do the dishes it takes him all day to do them.In between he`s taking breaks and on his computer from the time he wakes up till he goes to work or back to bed.My 24 year old brother is staying with us for 4 weeks.(has been here a week)Two days ago I put up a sheet of rules for each room and everyone has read them except my almost 14 year old son.He`s too busy.No one has followed anything.I have begged and pleaded for their help by picking up after themselves and cleaning up their own messes.Yeah I know I  don`t work but I am in so much pain on a daily basis I can`t walk across the floor without wanting to cry because of the pain.So I let everyone know today.I WILL NOT DO ANYTHING for ANYONE anymore!!! From now on I take care of ME!!! I clean up after myself anyway and clean up my own messes so I should have a lot less work to do now.And if the mess get`s to bad up here?I will move to the basement!!! Because I QUIT!!! It`s not only my knees.I have degenerative disk disease along with herniated,buldging disks a pinched nerve and nueritis in my back,Bad feet,the diabetes,high blood pressure,depression,& those are just a few.I went back to bed this morning at around 10:30 and slept till 2:55 pm.I was up sick from 2:30 am then the guy upstairs comes in around 3am and it stomping and dropping things on the floor,roaming all around his apt.and the floors sqeak.I tell ya I`m just ready to run away from home.But that`s life I guess.Has never been any better for me. but thanks for letting me rant and rave this evening.I have no one to talk to that will be understanding and not condesending.I`m so tired and worn down.I think I`ll go out side for a while before we get this bad storm that`s on it`s way Thanks friends and have a great evening

Kim

Good morning Illinois!!!! I had my mamogram this morning and will work all day. My kids and husband are scheduled in the lemonade stand this evening, so I will be home alone......IF I can get there in time to enjoy it.  After work I will be taking my aunt home (I brought her in with me today to catch up on our filing), stopping by to see Amber and Miss Riley, then off to Wally-World to get the last minute school supplies for the kids to start tomorrow. I am anxiously waiting to hear how Kim's last appointment went also and am saying a prayer for Janet.  I will also stop by and lend my story to Julie when I am done here..... I DO hope everyone has a lovely day!!!!!
