Friday Roll Call!
Good Friday Morning!
Welcome back everyone and enjoy the beautiful day. A special welcome back to Marilyn. We are glad to have you back with us!
I am sure everyone is glad it is Friday! For me, I could use a couple extra hours of sleep this morning as I stayed up too late last night. Wasn't tired so hard to go to sleep.
My first day back at work went fast. Today will probably seem longer. Tomorrow I have to get up bright and early to go teach a bad check class. I am back in the work world with a vengeance!
What's on your agenda for the weekend? Any exciting plans? Any good ideas for relaxation?
Hope everyone has a great day!

Hi Nancy and IL friends.
Yes, welcome back to Marilyn. Happy to see her back with us.
Sounds like your first day back to work was uneventful. I'm surprised that you had a hard time getting to sleep. Maybe thinking too much about everything??
I have no special plans for the weekend. Lots of rest, probably going to weigh****chers in the morning, and seeing family.
I got a new Proform elliptical trainer and hope to have it put together this weekend with help!
WIshing everyone a joyful and restful weekend.
Hugs,
Lucy

Hello All-
I am going in to set up my classroom so that it is ready to go. This way I won't have to worry about going back to work in a few weeks.
I've been busy getting the house ready for a few weeks by stocking up on groceries, vacuuming, laundry, and I am almost ready to go.
I am hoping for good weather (please!) for the next week so the kids can do some fun outside stuff with Grandma!
Thanks for all of your support on here.

Good morning To All. TGIF
I am heading to the local hospital this morning for a mammo. Not fun, but needs to be done. Then to pay a couple of bills. When I get home, the laundry and housecleaning will need to be done.
We are still babysitting the furbaby. I am not sure if her parents will be home today or tomorrow. She is eating good, but we still haven't seen her. She is a weird cat.
No plans for the weekend. Just continue the yard work where I left off last Sunday.
Welcome back Marilyn.
Take a littl time for yourself this weekend Nancy. Don't overdo it.
Same to you Christina. You have had a bad week, relax a bit.
Have a great day and stay safe.
Hugs,
LISA

Good Morning to all my wonderful IL friends!
Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers this week, the family can sure use them. It's never easy losing a family member (as too many of us know) but when it's a baby it's just so hard to understand. Wednesday was the day that little Amy Lynne was born into the arms of Jesus. She weighed 1 1/2 lbs and was 14 inches long. She looked like a little angel sleeping. My niece is doing very well and the grieving/healing process can truly begin now that the pregnancy and delivery part of it is over. We will be having a memorial service for Amy on Monday evening. She is being cremated today. Again thank you for everything! I love you all
Today my sister and other niece are coming over and we're going to be checking out garage sales all over my town today...it's North Aurora Days here and there are a ton of things to do. We'll be hanging out and having fun, so that will be good for us.
Other than that, nothing else going on

Good morning Nancy and the rest of Illinois!
Glad to see Marilyn....any other lurkers out there that would like to speak up? We would LOVE to hear from you!
I am working today, taking Liv to the museum then I have an appointment with a specialist this afternoon. Hopefully, he can help me with a problem I have been living with for way too many years (over 10). Wish me luck!
My roofers finally arrived this morning!!!! I am happy about that because they had originally said they would be here in the middle of June. Typical contractor, I guess. I hope they know how to keep the roof covered over the weekend in case of rain.
Todd and the boys made it safely to North Platte, NE last night and were hosted by the local troop. They were on their way to Denver when I talked to David at 8:15 am. Please keep them in your thoughts for safe travel.
The house is pretty quiet with just Liv and I. After the very busy and crazy month we just had, it is almost strange. We are planning on trying to see the playhouse's version of "The King & I" and also the new "Harry Potter" movie over the weekend.
I am thinking of you all and hope you are still sending good thoughts, prayers and vibes my way too as I am still confused about my marriage.
I wish everyone a spectacular day and weekend if I don't check bac****il Monday!

Hi Everyone,
My wife (Jannette) and I completed the weigh-in last night and was informed by the nurse that our paperwork will be submitted no later then friday of next week. She apologized for the delay but informed us about the recent policy change for BCBS of IL and how it has bombarded the office with patient approvals. I thought it was awesome news to hear that BCBS is making it a little bit easier to get this taken care of. I am now starting to get a little but nervous about the whole procedure but am excited about joining you guys on the loser bench. I have spent the last 16 years being over-weight (going to be 30 in Nov) and would like to get things going in the right direction.
I hope everyone has a good one !!!!
