WHATS HAPPENING TUESDAY THAT SEEMS LIKE MONDAY

Seems like every month I start getting really tired and sleepy all the time before it is time for my B-12 shot. So I will give it to myself a few days early every month. I wonder if any of you get one twice a month and how much do you get each time? They just don’t seem to last me a whole month.

 

I took my granddaughter over to order her food from the Angel ministry in Branson and then we stopped at the grocery store and bought a few groceries. When we got home I planted 6 flats of flowers. Still have more to go but I got so tired I had to quit.

Will get some more of them planted tomorrow.

 

I start to work Wednesday . I hope I like it . Will get me out among people again. Maybe I need that. Anyway the discounts are good at the Hanes Outlet. I know what everyone will be getting for Christmas presents. Lol.

   

TAMMI: Hey sweetie I didn’t mean to say I didn’t like your hair blonde. I like it but I really like your pretty brown hair too. The important thing is like everyone said , do you like it. You are the one that is the one that has to be really pleased.

Hey I cant believe you weigh 145…you are so tiny .

 

TAMMY: You are really one in a million to be trying to be the go between mother and daughters. Since they are almost grown they do need to at least make an attempt to see and understand their mother but you are an angel to try to put them together.

How did you husband react to them being there?

 

I cant imagine you dieting and quiting smoking too. Now that is super human strength.

You are forgiven one day of messing up , I would rather it be your eating than smoking.

Lol. You will be ok.

 

If the bamboo is too much trouble it is ok sweetie. You have a lot going on right now.

I wont die without it . lol

  

JANET: lol I can just see Jon riding down Hy 44 on his little Hummer. What a site. Watch it Jon there are big trucks on the highway. !!!!

 

Sounds like your little boy is transferring his affections to his male role model. Don’t all little boys do that about 4 or 5?

 

When you see Mellisa again let her know that we all love her and hope she will get well soon.

 

I am so sorry about your back giving you such pain. I cant imagine what pain you must be in all the time. I know that stress and tension can make it worse. And of course you have none of that lol. Take care of you and try to relax some ok?

The teen age daughter, sounds like one I had at one time. Defiant to the end. Was almost her end too. Lol

 

Hey I thought Tami’s  hair looked cute too, I just like the brown hair it looks so young and healthy looking.

 

Your right Tammy is one great hearted lady but you are too. I wish I could do half of what you two ladies do. Good grief you both are like the energizer bunny. Just don’t know how you do it with the pain in your back and knees.

 

Please remember to take the calcium , you really need it.

 

RACHAEL: Sounds like you are really staying busy at work getting all the solders shots done up.

Will continue to pray for Jaiden an for your husbands grandmother. Know that she is going to a better place and is ready to go.

 

SHERR:  So sorry about the ticket. Lol  kids cause lots of things don’t they?

Does your son live with your parents ? I just wondered seems like you said he did once but I cant remember.

Did I ever tell you that I use to live in Jonesboro Ark? For several years. Around 20 years I guess. Wow didn’t realize it was that many lol.

Don’t miss it at all. Lots of stuck up people there.

 

PAM: So glad that you are feeling better. Keep up the good work and you will be feeling better in no time. If the infection is really gone you can probably increase your exercise a little so that you can gain more strength.

Sugar is back to going to water aerobics about 4 times a week now. Says with each day she is feeling more and more like herself. She was really sore for a few days tho.

 

LOL I don’t think there are too many kids around that haven’t cut their own hair at one time or the other. I had a brother that had really long eyelashes and he cut them , He was about 4 , he came in the room where mama was and said now those old women wont say I have long eyelashes any more. Lol. But they grew back thicker and longer than before. Lol

We cant wait to see you at next months meeting too.

   

LOVE AND JOY AND PEACE ABOUNDS

JAN

 

Howdy Everyone.... Thought I'd drop in before I got busy this morning and say howdy to everyone.... This morning I need to work on my check book and go thru bills to get any ready I need took care of while I am gone next week & set and make some phone calls....I just hate doing all that...Seems like it's as tiring as getting up and doing something lol lol.... Janet...Hope to hear something from you this morning on Mel!!!!  And next time you want to call, go ahead and call....there is never any one calm moment at my house and if there is.....you won't get to enjoy it for long at all lol lol...between house phone, cell phones and all the kids running in and out...it's not quiet here at all....And it would not have mattered to me that I had company or not....I would have took time to talk with you.... Sorry about Jon!!! Sounds like he is getting old enough to become a daddys boy...  You can never tell with kids...it might even just be a phasse he is going thru..... Your not alone with the cell phone thing.....I am surprised my youngest daughter has not supper guled the dang thing to her ear so she dont have to hold it lol lol....actually I wouldn't be surprised if it was about ready to stick up there on it's own it's up there so much......I come in the other day and she was on the house phone, the cell phone and on the dang computer at the same time!!!!! Be so glad when your daughter is home...I have thougth about her since she has been gone...Know how your feeling on that stuff too...I don't know why they have to try and play the parents in these situations!!!! Thank God your ex didn't go for any of it....She would have really used that in other situations. I hope it all works out.... Jan....I don't mind sending the bamboo if I can manage to get out there and check it out...I did not look at it close, what I seen looked 12ft tall or taller....lol lol...So I don't know if it puts off lil shoots around it and that is how it spreads and so I can get some of it that way or what...I'm not real familar with it.... Thanks for the compliments!!!! I love my girls even though they are not my own...It was worth it all to see them happy like that this weekend...Joe & her done really well....She was alot more nervous than he was...they had not been around each other in 5 years...and most of the time it was me she talk to on the phone and all, so they haven't really talked much either...She even slept in the living room with Heather the first night instead of with her husband...she said it was cause she wanted to stay up longer with us...but it felt more like she felt strange to sleep with him at our house ....Then Joe almost made her pass out...He had to work yesterday and after he got ready for work and was getting ready to head out he kissed me and told me bye he loved me and then he went over and gave her a hug and told her it was good to see her, he was glad things went well and for them to come back any time.....She couldn't even talk lmbo!!! Sunday evening when we were taking pics we even did one of Joe, her and the girls so the girls could have it... they have not had a pic with both their parents since they were really little.....You could tell they felt awkward but the girls were glad to have the pic..... I know you can't get along with everybody in this ole world but I hate fighting and all that crap....We have done enough of it with the girls mother....most of it came from her feeling so threatened with the girls getting close to me and all....but I finally told her even with the girls getting grown we will still have to have dealings with each other at times and I don't want to spend the rest of our lives doing it stressfull and fighting....And I told her when I get tired of something I just turn my back on it and shut it out...And if she kept on that is what I was going to do with her and I had no dought at all if she didn't want to change and stop her crap the girls would follow....Guess she realized I meant it...A few days later she called with a whole different attitude....Now for the girls I hope it just lasts!!!! She did do alot of crying while she was here....Wathcing Christina, which is the oldest and the one that has always been with us....really made her realize how much she has missed out on!!! So maybe she wont miss out on more..... OH YEAHHHHHHH!!!!! It's tuesday!!!! 6 more days!!! I am going to go tomorrow to get that dang ABG test done so they can check my carbonmanoxied level or what ever it is...To see if my levels have went down....Yall pray for me!! If Natalie is not satisfied with them I might not get to have surgery!!! And I am going either tomorrow or thrusday to get another urin test done to check on my kidney infection....I still got discomfort but I still have 4-5 days of meds left so I am in hopes it is improving...If not I am going to see if she will give me a shot for a day or two to try and help cut it...Heck they can put me in and run some IV antiboitcs for a day or two..I just want it gone so I can have my surgery!!!!! Hope to hear something on Becca soon!!! Denise...I know you must be getting really anxious and excited....I know I am...I will be right behind you.... Well gotta run for now.. will check back in later on....Hope you all have a wonderful day.....BIG HUGS....

Good Morning everyone....   I have been MIA lately due to yardwork and WORK at C Barrel that is!   I was lucky enough to have this past Saturday off at the bank and I put in the yardwork for sure. 

Yesterday I got up before 7 a.m. and ate a banana and then hit the lawn.  Mowed, raked the ENTIRE yard with a push mower (it is well over 2 acres) , helped husband trim the hedges and then cleaned that up.  Raked/cleared out the ditches, planted flowers and cleaned cleaned cleaned and then planted more flowers!...  I was joking with hubby and the folks in at C Barrel that the only time I sat down or stopped the entire day was when I used the ladies room! *LOL*... 

I stopped just long enough to grab a shower and then get dressed and I headed in to C Barrel to work my shift last night.  Unfortunately I work the closing shift tonight so I won't get to play in my gardens today at all *sigh*...  since I won't be home til well past 11 pm. tonight....  but I will be off Wednesday and Thursday so I will get to mess around in the yard some more then.....    Jan I totally understand the gardening "thang"....  I have it and always have.  My parents instilled it in me!  Wish that I could see your gardens and yard...  I'm sure that they look lovely!

Wish I could ramble on some more but I have to hurry and finish my coffee so I can get ready for work! 

If I am able to get on hubby's comp at his office I might be able to post over lunchhour...  

Hope that everyone is having a blessed day.  Best wishes to those who are getting ready to have surgery and prayers are being sent for those who have special issues going on in their lives right now...  

Gotta scoot---------------->

Dear Jan and OH Peeps~ Jan, have you ever thought of doing the B12 under your tongue 2-3x a week? Thats what I do and my levels are actually above normal-my NUT said it wont hurt me, I may just pee more than normal.... **Terry called me back last night-they gave Mel a shot for the pain and sent her home-OMG-!! Although when I had Jon by C-section, the day I was being discharged, I whipped my leg up on the bed and tore my incision open-they were going to go back in and repair it-but I opted for packing it several times a  day etc-as I couldnt imagine going through that crap again!! I actually saw my OB doc MORE after having him than I did the whole time I was pregnant because of the incision. Yep, that definitely hurts. Glad she will be ok though and they dont hv to get back in there! I got offered a job on Saturday-16 hrs per week, but cant take it right now, between disability and the bankruptcy-its not good timing, not to mention the fact that with my back the way it is-I would never know what would happen. Its the craps, thats for sure, because the extra money would be so awesome! Jan, believe it or not-Jon has ALWAYS been a daddys boy-and I mean from the time he was brand new-we have so many pictures of Mike holding him, and he has that huge gumless smile etc-and then many times during the night-he would only quit crying if Mike was holding him.....ALWAYS...I think he went through about 2 weeks where he was my little guy-thats it-everything else is daddy!! They are definitely 2 peas in a pod and everything Mike does-Jon wants to do-and pretty much does, to some extent. They remind me of that country song, my little buckaroo. So, now he has had 4 days with his dad (that hasnt happened since hes been born, LOL) and thank goodness Darrel is home so he can help keep Jon occupied-cause he will get cranky today when he cant hang out with daddy. When Mel gets better, I am gonna kick her in the butt for scaring the crap out of me.  Told her that when BOTH of us are feeling better, we need to go tie one on~LOL~I think we deserve it!! I emailed my nurse Natalie this morning-I think I need an endoscopy again to see if I have a ulcer or something. My doc (PCP) called me (bless his heart) on Saturday-and he didnt seem to feel like we should chance anyone in this area doing one on me for fear they will go through my pouch (I agree 100%) So, I am just waiting to see when they want to schedule that-and want to have my appt with her the same day as the endoscopy. Im almost certain something isnt right-I dont think its a stricture or anything like that-but something is going on and the pain just gets worse and worse, so we need to get it controlled-and if its the pain meds-than they are gonna have to give me liquid or shots-I dont know. Jan-did your son seem easier to raise than your daughters? Thats seems to be the case here...Steph is just the worst of both parents wild child attitudes and defiant, like you said-and yes, there are times I wonder if she will make it till she moves out of the house-LOL....Drives me nuts. Oh Jan, you do as much as we do-just different in what it entails. You have already put your time in raising your kids and whatever-so you can get to enjoy your and Joes time-but I will gaurantee there are a lot of days you do more-you just may not have to deal with 20 people coming at you from all directions! It started storming towars evening-and rained like nuts! Now they are calling for rain again ALL WEEK...what the heck? I may not be getting in the pool till the middle of June if this crap keeps up~!!  Now-its even worse-cause you look at the sea blue water-all filled, pump running-and I just want to jump in!!! As soon as my toe hits the cold water-I change my mind quickly. I remember the first year we lived here-I got in the day it was done filling-it was like 65 in there and I didnt care-I had a pool~Im much much pickier now about the temp in the pool-LOL. Well, my oldest daughter called me-she made reservations to go get married in Eureka Springs on July 7th so that she will have the insurance she needs to attend Stephens college. Aaron got a good job-now IF he keeps it-that will be another story-but my hubby knows every one of the supervisors out there-and so I already told Aaron he better not call in sick-slack off or get fired or Mike was gonna kick his ass! (sorry, no other way to word it) cause told him that this lazy ass crap of sitting on your butt and not supporting your fiance while she goes to college etc AND works full time is crap-IF she can do it-he better do it too-and he will not be able to lie about this job, like I said-because Mike knows everyone!! I ask Megan every day if he has called in yet-and so far-so good-and we are starting our 2nd week, so we are on a roll......Im mad at Eric and told him so-for not keeping the job that would have covered Megan on his insurance! So-I blamed him for her getting married-she was gonna wait till next year-and then Eric quit his job (as usual) Steph will either be home Weds or Thurs-if their flight gets delayed or whatever, she may spend the night with her grandma and I will go get her on thurs. Im glad she isnt flying alone-that would have scared me. She really doesnt want to come home-I can hear it in her voice-but she has some conditions before she can move out there. I know Eric doesnt want that responsibility-never has yet, so I dont see this as being any different-it would cramp his lifestyle too much-and thats what we were counting on-but its not going to change how she acts towards us. Jon has already asked Mike to make his Hummer faster-man does he get mad when he cant go fast-he gets out and hits the top of his engine!! I am like-anger management, maybe? Mike said he may try and put a riding mower battery in there to make it faster-will see-Jon wants it to go as fast as the go-kart-and I am like NO WAY....that thing is way too fast for a 4 yr old to drive by himself! **Sherr-I know you got the ticket cause your mom was in the car with you and you couldnt show cleavage-or the cop was married (happily) or gay-LOL-a little peek at the cleavage should have done the trick!! LOL-Im sorry you got a ticket. Make Dylan pay for it-LOL...I bet he will come home when he is suppose to next time! Plus it was a holiday weekend-they were thick around here too! I did the speed limit or under all weekend-man, was that frustrating-LOL....Just kidding!! **Tammy-Steph isnt home yet. Will see how that all goes when she gets home-she is losing her phone AND the door off her bedroom, cause she cant have privacy and be that disrespectful-and this way-she cant grab my cell or the house phone and make calls in the middle of the night. We will hear her talking...which is why she had the noisy fan and radio on at night when she never has before-she always says she cant sleep with noise! Well, I am gonna get off here-have some phone calls to make and have to eat a little something so I can take some meds-yep, good ol back hurting like hell already....not sure what we are gonna do today, but I can assure you it wont be much! Gonna get my shake and vitamins in and start the day. All my love and prayers.  Janet

Good morning all! Sorry I haven't been posting much lately. I ended up in the emergancy room Sunday and was admitted into the hospital. I have problems with my cycles and this time I was bleeding so much I was filling a overnight pad every 30-45 min. after doing this for about 5 days of this, I about passed out in church. So my hubby took me to the ER and thye  admitted me. I had lost 3 pints of blood in 4 days. They gave me some blood and sent me home last night. But I am still tired and low on blood. Please keep me in your prayers.  This is another reason WLS is very important for me to get. The Dr believe it will help. Tammi- I really like the Blond hair. It is so cute. But you looked just as adorable in your  dark hair as well. I would give it a few days and see how it grows on ya.  You look like you have the skin tone to wear just about any color.  Well, I am ready for a nap. I am trying to get rested enough cause I have to go back to work on Thusday. At least I have wonderful bosses.  talk to you all soon.  If i haven't responded to  your posts, please forgive me. I am a lurker trying to break free of it. LOL I will get there. expecially if you talk to me directly, I have an easier time responding..... Blessings and prayers to all, Rebecca

Good morning to all,  Just jumping in and out.  I posted on the board about the meeting tomorrow night.  Gonna make sure that I can get in the chatroom tonight and was going to ask if anyone is on around 8pm tonight if they could try to get in there with me.  I hope that I dont forget, I swear I am going crazy, I cant remember hardly anything any more!!   Jan I had no idea that you can put those leaves in a salad.  That is really neat.  I guess that I wont get to try it for a while, (dont know how long after surgery you have to wait to have salads but I bet it takes a while.  Yes, I am having the open rny bypass.  I cant wait to get to the bench with everyone else. Tammy-ammy I agree with Jan, you are doing so good with the cigs, it must have been really hard to make it thru the holiday, I am so proud of you. Wings I know that you are a great mother and you are doing the right thing with Steph.  I didnt think of it before and when you said you must be doing your job right because right now she is mad at you, I was like wow!  Sometimes we want to be our kids friends and we forget we have to be the parents first.  I am finding out that is alot of Randi and my problem.  I wanted to be this cool mom that was friends first and mom last, but now I am seeing that it is my job to be the parent first and then if poss. the friend.  Does that make sense?  Randi's therapist told me that letting a child get away with things without punishment that you have threated with punishment is  a form of child abuse.  Of course not as bad as really hurting a child, but it is bad because your not teaching them anything.  Thanks for the help, you know I can use all I can get, LOL!! Well, you all take care, do you all know it is only 100 days until the Reunion!!!!!!!!  Yeaaaa!   Love, Susan
