3 THINGS FOR FRIDAY (THE 13TH!)
Good morning!! TGIF!!! And I am SO glad it's Friday, ugh, it's been a LOOONG week!!!
Today, I'm grateful for:
1. That my brother is off this weekend. I love my KB, but I need a break, a chance to sleep in and recharge my batteries. If I don't take good care of me, it's hard to take care of everyone else!!!
2. For my Dad and my brother - They are two very different types of Dads, but I love them both. My Dad worked a lot of shift work when we were growing up, and because he's of a different generation, wasn't a very hands-on Dad. In fact, he watches KB more than he ever did us!! We're no worse for the wear, though! My brother, however, is a phenomenal Dad, even more so because he's a single father and actually has KB more than their "mother." KB are truly his life!! So kudos to all Dads this weekend!!
3. Good haircuts and GREAT hair stylists!!! I love my guy, John, and have been going to him since I was 15!!! I don't care how great your hair is, if you don't have a good haircut, it's awful!!!! He could charge what the higher priced salons do and I'd pay it, but don't tell him that or he'll raise his prices again!!!!
Have a great weekend everybody!

1. That today is Friday...Nuff said. (Eventhough it is the 13th, it doesnt bother me)
2. That I was able to get several of my pre-op tests done yesterday so wohoo!!
3. For Andre, Jordan's Father. I have said I am thankful for him before but this weekend makes me think about it again. He is still so active and such a presence in my daughter's life and mine for that matter. He has offered to come stay with me after surgery to help take care of me and help with Jordan. He may not see Jordan everyday but he calls me in the morning to see how she is and again at night to talk to Jordan and see how are day was. Jordan is still very young but because he spends so much time with her and talks to her so much, its almost like she doesnt realize he is not there full time. I grew up with a ehhhhh relationship with my father and he was pretty non-exsistent so I am glad Andre is so focused on Jordan

Hey April!
Happy Friday! I'm glad your wls train is rolling along!! Getting those pre-op tests out of the way is a relief, I know!!!!
I'm so happy for Jordan that you and her father have maintained this type of relationship. He sounds like a wonderful man, and even if you and he aren't together, I hope he realizes what a gift he has in BOTH of you!!
Have a great weekend!

I am grateful for the following:
1. That I woke up this morning and while my back hurts this morning it doesn't feel as bad as yesterday. My leg is still numb but I can almost live with it. We will see what my 12 hour work day does to it.
2. Today is the last day of school for the kids!! I really love my kids, and we have so much fun together. During the school year I wake up, get them breakfast, make lunch and send them out the door. I then run errands and wait for them to get home. Do the total homework, after school snack, play outside and all that other good stuff. Now since school is out we can just chill out with each other. It's nice to have my little family.
3. My husband being such a SUPER HUSBAND and AWESOME DAD. He is nothing like the crapola father I had/have. My father was far from hands on. Children interfered with the amount of drinking and philandering he wanted to partake in. (Kinda hard to get drunk and meet up with your girlfriend while you wife is at work and you have 3 kids in tow.) HE BLOWS!
Anyway, I am doing a father's day lunch for my husband tomorrow and Sunday since I work he is having a boys day with the kids. Which consists of The Hall of Presidents in Gettysburg, the visitors center and a train show. Followed up with their annual Sunday night movie night
Hope you all have a great weekend.
Hi Kim - Sorry your leg/back hurts!! What's up with the pain? Sciatica? Pinched nerve? I hope you and the kids have a fabu summer! I wish I was independently wealthy so KB and I could hang out all summer!
Your hubby sounds like a Class A kinda guy!!!! I hope he enjoys the love and attention that's lavished on him this weekend!! Thank him for me - there are too few truly good guys out there!!

I woke with a totally numb leg months ago. I went to the Dr. she sent me for physical therapy. Did that for 8 weeks, not super successful. Went back to the Dr. she then sent me for an MRI which showed 3 herniated discs. No stinking wonder my back was killing me and my leg was full of a "firey" kind of feeling. Anyway, had the MRI on a Saturday and her office called on Monday to give me the names of surgeons. I have been treating this conservatively and have been seeing someone for pain management we started off with a steroid pack and I have now just completed my 3 of 3 epidural steroid injections. I will be seeing him in his office in 3 weeks to see how I am feeling and make a decision on the NEXT step.
Plan on having a super time with the kids. I would love to be independently wealthy too. I just work on Friday and Sunday nights so I can spend the rest of the time with the kids. When I'm at work my husband is home.
My husband is pretty special. He just adores being a father and spends tons of together time with the boys. As I said, every Sunday is Dad and Kid night. Each weekend one of them picks a movie or TV episode on CD then after everyone has showered, they make popcorn and camp out in front of the TV. They LOVE IT!
