WHATS HAPPENING SATURDAY

SORRY I AM POSTING THIS EARLY BUT I HAVE TO GO TO BED , IM AM WORN TO A FRAZZEL.

We had our share of rain today. Got about 1 ½ inches all together. It would rain real hard and then stop for about an hour then start again. We need it for sure. Now I don’t have to water anything. Lol. God did it for me.

 

While I am thanking God for things. Thank you Lord for getting Melissa thru her surgery. I hope and pray now that she will have the results from it that she wanted.

My granddaughter came over today wanting to talk. She has been getting pretty depressed or appeared to me that she was. I told her that there were a lot of things going on in her life. Two babies under 2 , Husband unable to find a really good paying job.

And just moved again. So that anytime she felt like she was at the end of her rope to just shut the door and come and get me and I would watch the babies while she got out and walked and walked and walked. Clear her head and give herself a good talking too.

And if I wasn’t home and she felt that way get out the double stroller and put them in it and go walking and walking and walking. Till the panic and pain inside subsided.

I remember those days and I had no one to help me. It was hard.

 

Ive got lilies blooming now and some roses and clematis. So im starting to get some color in the yard. I have had a lot of trouble with a lot of my seeds not wanting to come up that I have planted directly in the ground. I don’t know if they weren’t good or what.

There is a nursery down here that is having a huge sale this week end I may go buy some plants and put them in. Even the zinnias that I had aren’t wanting to come up like they should. Maybe I have lost my touch lol

I think it is more the weather than anything is weird this year.

  

MELISSA: I sure am glad that you came thru this surgery fine and that you felt well enough to call Tammy yourself this afternoon. That is great. Anyway hope you are feeling ok . I know you aren’t great yet but take it easy this week end and you should be better in a few days. We will all keep you in our prayers .

  

JANET: I know you are tired too after being up so early and being anxious for Mel.

Now you can relax for awhile. Hope all is well with your kidlets and Did your daughter arrive in L.V. yet? Are the boys still with your other daughter? What are you all going to do for the long week end? I know you were going to enjoy your pool but I guess it didn’t get much of a chance to heat up today for sure.

Thanks from all of us for being there for Melissa and letting us know that she was ok.

 

CONNIE: yes I do remember you being at the COF meeting in April. Just forgot for a moment. Hope you will be at the June one. Wish I could help you with the problem with your computer. If my son were here I could ask him and he could tell me but he is working tonight so I cant . I will email him and see what he says. I think there is something you can do to eliminate that problem.

Great that you will be telling us about your self and your life. It makes us all feel lots closer to each other.

Are you planning in Sept. to come to the reunion? We will have so much fun.

Keep up the good work on the diet.

 

BARBARA:  That is great that you will try to be at the picnic on the 19th. I think there will be a fairly good crowd there. At least about what there was at the golden correl meeting.

Anxious to see you again.

Boy you will have the grandbabies close wont you? That is good. Nothing like living close to grandma. We always did when I was little and it was so neat to be able to run to grandmas house when we needed a little bit of extra loving.

So are you still at about 120 pounds? I don’t know if I  really want to be that tiny or not. Never been there since I was young so don’t know what I would look like old and 120 lol

You looked really good when I saw you back in December.

  

LOVE AND JOY AND PEACE ABOUNDS

JAN

Good Morning Jan and OH Family, Im so sorry I never got back in to post yesterday-it was around 9 or so, somewhere around there when I got home...I was beat. I ate a little something and went and got my p.js on and went to bed at 10:30 or so-and about 3 am-I woke up and something was poking me in the eye-I had went to bed with the sunglasses on the top of my head-LOL...they were jamming me in the eye! NO-it wasnt sunny here yesterday, but it was muggy-and I had the sunroof open on my ride home-and so I used my sunglasses to keep my hair from getting in my face! **Jan-I hope your grand-daughter is ok. DO they have any places/groups around there for stay at home moms? They have one near me where the moms get together WITH the children and they talk while the children play together-they meet once a week...that would be nice IF she could meet other moms and has someone to make friends with and a lot of them will watch each others kids sometimes JUST to give mom a break. I dont remember the questions from Thurs post-so-My daughter made it to Vegas last night. She chewed me out because she found out her aunt Mel was having surgery and no one told her, told her that not only did we talk about it-everyone else was told too-AND its on the calender by the computer-no one was keeping it a secret-she hung up on me, not once, but twice-and then didnt answer her phone after that. I called her from Mels last night and let her talk to her-and so she called me again last night before I went to bed-she also asked me if some of her dads friends could give her the "industrial peircing" in her ear and said it would be free-and here it is $50-$60...Told her that I would rather her wait to come home and do it somewhere licensed-then-just told her to give her dad the phone since I could hear him jabbering at me in the background-he got on the phone and I told him that IF he took her to get this done that IT HAD to be done IN A BUSINESS atmosphere where they are sterile AND NO FACE PEIRCINGS and he said he didnt think that it was all that bad and we should pick our battles better-so I just flat out told him IF those 2 things didnt or did happen-I would be on a plane to Nevada and he would regret it-thats for sure! (now-Susan-IF I got arrested there-can I still call you? LOL) So, Steph "thinks" its cool because he is giving in to all the things that she WANTS and I really dont think she would even want to come home if her stupid boyfriend wasnt here. The boys stayed home with their daddy yesterday-Mike took the day off-so there was no need to find a sitter for them-and good thing too-because what turned out to be what I thought was a couple of hours-was from 6:30 am to after 9 pm-I did stop at home just once after Mel was released and on her way home. I walked in the house and was absolutely horrified at how much fun you could tell they were having!! I havent seen my house this messy since I started staying home~! LOL... I know you are all wondering about Mel, I have received emails and such....Please just pray for her. I know that it may seem that I am trying to keep secretive or what have you-I am not-I am respecting my SS (soul sisters) wishes, and right now-she doesnt want to talk about it-get emails about it-or comments-SO, I am asking-to PLEASE DO NOT ask her-PLEASE do not make comments-just respect her for right now-and pray for her-PLEASE. When she is ready-SHE will get on here and she will post it all to you guys, and I KNOW you all love her and are thinking and praying for her-so just keep it up and when she can, she will get on here and post. Im really not sure what we are doing this weekend. I think I am just keeping my weekend open at this point. We may have Mel and Terry out on Monday for a BBQ and some company, but nothing major. Doc said she had to take it easy for 2 days, cannot over-do it-and so I am gonna sit on her IF I have to-I will NOT let her over-do it. Her sis and her sis's hubby came in last night too-so after they got there-and I went to the store for some staples and then came home. Not sure how long they will stay today-but I will go over sometime today to bug them again and see if they need anything-or even if they dont-will do it anyway-LOL... This is so cute-Jonathan has always been sorta fascinated about the incisions on my tummy-and when he has asked questions or what have you, I always tell him I had surgery so that I may be able to be skinny.  So-yesterday he wanted to know about his aunt mel-and I told him that she had an owie on her tummy, and that she had to have surgery so she wasnt feeling very good-and he said-Oh mamma, why? her already skinny! Tell her mamma that she is already skinny...I was like-oh, sweety! -I told Mike that I bet with aunt Mel being doped up right now-that she would have gone out and bought him anything he wanted-LOL LOL. **Tammy Ammy-girl-from the bottom of my heart-I thank you! I dont know what I would have done had you not answered the phone and talked to me yesterday!!~I felt bad afterwards that your kids had just left-and you had to deal with me!! Your way stronger than you know! LOL....I love you sis and I am glad I had you to talk to...I think you were MY angel yesterday~I love you, I appreciate you-and I pray for you every day!! You are right there now girl-and your test is going to be fine and your gonna be on the bench with us ASAP...I am so excited. I love you. Take it easy, ok?  I can say since surgery-I have never wanted to go to the store and buy the foods that contributed to my weight gain like I did yesterday-told Tammy I wanted to go buy a WHOLE box of ho-hos and some alcohol~I didnt, of course-but I entertained the idea for about 1/2 hour or so....I dreamt of it-in my head-with like the devil on one side (in your thoughts) going-just go and do it-and the angel on the other side going-this is trigger point, it helped make you fat and dont you like wearing these clothes and feeling better? The pool is filling-with the forecast of rain the next 3 days-it will prob be 2 weeks realistically before we are able to get in and swim-gotta have sun for 3 days at least and good temps for it to be warm enough-but I sure am ready for it! I am also praying that it does help with my back....Rebecca emailed me and said she is gonna send me a bottle of biofreeze, so I can see if it will at least help a bit-that would be awesome-another angel to me-and I thank God for her and her kindness. Sometimes its hard to be on the receiving end of acts of kindness-but I know that since I pay it forward when I can-that it gets returned-thats how the Lord works...through people like Mel, Jan, Sugar and Rebecca!! Well-talked to Krissy-she FINALLY got my package-but they ransacked it-and took out the chocolate protein powder, scoop and the label from the powder-I called my post office yesterday ( in a very bad, diplomatic manner)and told them I am filing a complaint regarding this issue-they said that since 9/11 they have been doing this-and I laughed and said-thats awfully funny because I/Mel have sent protein powder to pre-wls pts for over a year and this has never happened-and so you owe me, and my 2 angelettes an apology for trashing their packages AND taking MY belongings without notification-I WANT my money for my products and I want them shipped over again-ON YOUR DIME this time, NOT MINE-I am taking it to the headquarters in Kansas City-because I was never notified-and my name is in the book-AND I never got anything from the post office and they do NOT-no matter what the public thinks-they DO NOT have the right to keep your belongings-my grandad was the head of the postal service for 25 years-I KNOW the regulations....they are acting like I sent drugs-and they kept my belongings-so they now have a fight on their hands-and trust me-I WILL WIN!~ Welcome lurkers and newbie posters-we LOVE to see you, and happy, happy, happy to meet you. Take care and PLEASE keep posting- Well, I am gonna get off here, get the guys breakfast started, do my shake and vitamins and start the day-its gonna be a chore filled day-LOL...I am thinking and praying for all of you-have a good, safe weekend. All my love and prayers, Janet

Hello OH Board,           Today my hubby is out getting the boat ready, so I guess we'll be going to the lake sometime soon? I never know cause we are quite the spontaneous couple which I love. I'm not sure if it's gonna rain down Tablerock way? My kids are all outside. Cleaning gutters on the house,doing some stuff in the garage and I was doing bills,so I thought I'd pop in a minute.            Jan: I am on the shy side so probably why you couldn't place me.I will be there June.I've seen a little on the September reunion(In Branson?) That sounds good to me.Any info on this computer would be nice.The GEEK squad want $65 an hour and figure 2 hrs. work. My flowers are doing good and me being from the desert in Bakersfield,CA. untill Nov. of 2004 well I'm quite happy. I couldn't grow anything and I'm getting the hang of it.           Janet: Good for you fighting back!! I'm good at that too and I love when people don"t let themselves be bullied by the system!!           Well I"m being paged by hubby to give my input on his boat work, so I'll go for now. Thanks again for listening!!            Take care and God Bless,   Connie

Hello All,

I know I'm a lurker and don't post much. I wish I could write like Janet, her posts are like reading a good book. I have never been able to sit down and write like that. I even tried a couple times to write a daily journal of my life. I sit down with the paper and pencil each night and stare at the paper, mind blank.  But anyhoo-------------I wanted to tell you all we had a 100 mile yardsale in Southeast MO. This weekend. It started in Jackon and followed Highway 25 for 100 miles to way down in the boothill. My daughter and G-daughter and myself went to it. We went from Jackson all the way to Malden.

I don't know how far that is but we were gone from 9:00 to 9:00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But what I wanted to tell you is I found a brand new outfit that I wanted real bad in a size 14 with no W behind it. It is capris and sleeveless top that zips up the back and a short sleeve button up blouse. the top and capris are a sorta tan color with red stars across the bottom and the button blouse is red with tan stars.

They wanted $6.00 for it cause it was brand new. It is a very expensive outfit. I could tell that because when you get real big and have to shop at J.C. Penney and places like that you know good quality.  Well I bought it in hopes it would fit. It wasn't stretch anything and even the capris zipped up the back and had a waistband. IT FITS   I'm so happy, WOW moment for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well I got to get dressed, my youngest sister is coming to pick me up and we are going to visit my older sister and then go shoe shopping. TTYL

Life is too short to wake up with regrets.
So love the people who treat you right..
Forget about the one's who don't.
Believe everything happens for a reason. 
If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.

If it changes your life, let it. 
Nobody said life would be easy,

they just promised it would be worth it.

Hi Jan.  Sorry I didn't get back to you before now but this is the first chance that I had to write.  Thank goodness I don't have to worry about finding someone to watch Cody for me.  I always have my mom to watch him.  The only problem will be if I go back to work and then on the days she works, I will have to figure something out.  Thank you for your prayers for Lloyd's mom.  She started chemo on Wednesday and so far so good.  He says that she didn't get sick with the first round so hopefully that is a good sign.  I will be careful meeting with him Jan but I really feel he is everything he says he is and everything I think he is.  Even my brother who is real skeptical about all of this internet meeting says he thinks Lloyd is an ok guy.  Thank you for the wonderful compliments.  I really feel good about myself now and I think that shows through.  I have really noticed how people (especially men) treat me different - saying hi, opening doors, reaching things that are out of my reach at the store, etc.  I don't know whether it is the weight loss or my more outgoing personality or both.   Deanna
