Well the shed is all boxed in now, all Joe has to do is put on the tar paper and the shingles, maybe he can get that done tomorrow. It is so hot that a couple of hours early in the morning is about all that you can work. I wasn’t much help today. When it is so hot like this my body swells up and my joints hurt like crazy. I spent a lot of time in bed today.

Im suppose to work tomorrow but don’t know if I can or not. Will be an awful day if I hurt like I am today and we aren’t busy. If we are real real busy I can work and forget about how bad I feel. I may have to go home if I feel as bad as I did today.

The hotter it gets the less I can eat , Is anyone else having this problem? I get plenty of water in like today I got in 112 oz but only got in 65 grams of protein and wouldn’t haven’t gotten that in if it weren’t for protein drinks. I tried eating and all it did was make my stomach cramp.

NUTTI: hey so glad that you got you a new van. So I see you won on what you got huh? I know you said your husband wanted a car.

I sure hope you get to come to the COF meeting on the 20^th. Maybe you and Janet can ride together.

You know I think every mother that has raised more than one has one child that is or has the potential to be a little wild. Now I know at least one lady that has two beautiful daughters that are both making her so proud but I really think she is the exception to the rule and wish we could all have her contentment she has with her daughters.

TAMMY C: I know you have already came thru surgery today and the report is that you are doing well but in a lot of pain. It will get better. We hope to see your smilling face on the boards as soon as you feel able to ..Gentle hugs.

TAMMY: Yes I have those days pretty often any more I do think that someone has taken some of the time in a day away. It doesn’t seem possible that there is still 24 hours in every day. lolSeems more like hmmmmmmm maybe 19 that sounds like a good number.

We will be praying for your daughter and the matter of the scar tissue. Hopefully she will be alright.

Had to laugh at the line about going to get Joes falsies relined lol too cool girl.

Sugar is doing great. She sailed thru this surgery. Sure different than the gastric surgery isnt it.?

DEBBIE D: hey glad to see you on line, did I hear you say you were coming to the reunion? Sure do hope so. Is your hubby coming too? If not there is probably someone that you could room with and save you both some money.

Thanks for the info on the protein powder from wal-mart.

I know you are doing well.

JANET IN K.C.: Keep going to the pool it will help keep those temps cooler. Oh yeah the Edys Frozen fruit bars are yummy aren’t they. I like the kiwi one myself.

VESTA: so glad that you finally found a solution to your aggravating problem. Isnt it amazing that when we find the solution it seems so easy.

SUSAN: lol yeah it doesn’t help a whole lot to go for a swim in water that is warmer than you are does it lol. I hope that they soon find out what is wrong and if it requires one more trip to the hospital if it is to remove a bad gall bladder it will be worth it. My sister Sugar had to have that done Monday and was home Monday evening and she is back to walking 2 to 3 miles a day since she cant go swimming til the little holes heal. Just know that that surgery is so easy and if that is what is wrong you will feel so much better.

Im glad that I made you laugh every morning. Lol don’t know what I say that a lot of people get , my humor most of the time is a little tongue in cheek stuff, sort of a dry wit. But sure glad that it makes someone smile. Lol

BEV: In Houston Tx. When we lived there they called those showers , liquid sunshine. Because it would get so steamy that it had no choice but to rain some. Then it would be all over.

How do two people share a desk. You both sit there during the day or what?

Your picturue frame sounds really neat. Do you download pictures from off your collection off you r computer?

Im like you with the fruit,. I could eat that stuff most of the day. I have bought more seedless watermelons this year than I ever have before. I cant get enough of them. The last one I had was sooooooo gooooooooood.

Yes be sure that every time you go to the doctor that he documents it. I have had my surgeon to put it in his charts too. I want it to be covered. And even tho you find something over the counter or something to take care of the rash, be sure your pcp prescribes you something, just have him/her to write you out the prescription, and that way you don’t have to go get it. Just that it is documented and that a presc. Was given. My pcp writes me another prescription about every 3 to 4 months lol She said she would document a lot about it so when I get ready for plastics she can document that it is medically necessary.

Don’t know about when I will start on the new job, will be as soon as I get my nursing lic. In the mail. Cant wor****il I have that in hand.

JANET: YAEA I think gumption is a word. It is spelled with a t in there instead of a s--.lol don’t worry about me im not correcting you on the computer ok? Or how to spell? I am the worlds worse speller. But I check out the spelling thingy up at the top

Well did you get the new furniture? Did you get Steph to the counselor?

Hope Mike liked and enjoyed his birthday. Sounds like the boys had a good time making that cake lol

Lol I knew talking about you being pregnant would probably get you riled lol.It is more than likely the heat , it is causing most every one to feel bad. Some worse than others. I have been sort of nauseated the last 2 days too. And I KNOW im not pregnant lol First of all you have to have the equipment and second you have to be exposed lol

I know I would have already called the plumbers to get that done. I wouldn’t fool around with them doing it they evidently aren’t going to fix those water lines for you soooooo.

Oh thank God about the Ortho docs findings. With having a bone scan I thought they might have been worried about bone cancer or something. That is a serious cancer for sure.

Hopefully she will start getting better. So if she still has this one hernia, are they going to do surgery on her for that?

LOVE AND JOY AND PEACE ABOUNDS

Dear Jan and OH Peeps~ Not sure whats going on with this computer-but I tried to get on last night and it took over 1/2 hr JUST to get to OH site and then again this morning-20 minutes JUST to get here!!! Scratching head-but will try to talk dear sweet hubby into getting it all cleaned up-cause thats way too frustrating for me. Well, let me say first, that if someone offered me a million dollars to re-live yesterday-I would have to really think about it. It was an AWFUL day. Was off and on the phone with Steph most of the day talking about what I do that hurts her, makes her mad and what she hates. She doesnt want to live in the counrty anymore because she hates it. I understand that there isnt much for her (them) to do out here-BUT-have been TRYING to get her to take the test for her permit since she turned 16, so she could get a car and drive herself around (IF she isnt grounded or what have you)....Man-I wish we could LIVE at the counselors today until we get something figured out. Our appt is this morning at 10:15-I am praying like crazy that they have some little ray of sunshine. I dont think my heart or soul can put up with anymore of this for very long. My back is nothing compared to the emotional crap, thats for sure! Well-I FINALLY snapped with my mother yesterday as well. I disowned her. I have told her that she is NOT to call this house for me, and she is NOT to come and visit. I have had enough and I need to remove her from the situation right now-because she is making everything 10 times worse and Im not doing this with her. She told me yesterday that she would rather slit her own throat than to ever be a heartless B like me, that the reason she let Steph do things I wouldnt let her do-is that she called me and I didnt answer her calls-never left a message-but would call me. I dont answer many calls from her because since her and Megan got into it over Aaron, all she did was call to tell me about their fights and what she said and blah, blah, blah-I didnt want to be in the middle of it. Ever since she told Megan that she didnt want anything to do with her while she was married to Aaron and forbid ME to have THEM at MY HOUSE-she has been upset with me-because I didnt take her side and I wouldnt let her determine my relationship with either of them. Now they (her and my dad) are treating Megan like crap and wanted me to follow suit-and I wont. Anyhow- I found out yesterday that the boy that Steph was afraid of-remember the stalker boy? WELL-your NOT even gonna believe this-MY PARENTS let that boy come up to meet Steph and have been letting her hang out with him there!!! OMG....Granted-he hasnt raped of killed her or anything like that-but the fact remains that Mike and I SHOULD have been asked OR advised of their plans BEFORE he moved up here. Yep-he moved to Joplin and thats WHY my daughter doesnt want to move home-Can you believe it? So-NOW she doesnt even want to move to Vegas-she wants to live there where she is close to him. He is 17 and he doesnt even have a place to live! I am so disgusted I cant see straight. Way back when-whenever Steph approached us with her being scared of this kid and all of that-Megan text message him and threatened him IF he didnt stop calling Steph and such-so that was like 4-5 mos ago-WELL-Yesterday when my dad took both of them to the mall and dropped them off-Cory (the boyfriend) tells Megans best friend that he has a "bone to pick with Megan" and asked Heather if she knew where Megan was! So-now this little punk is trying to start crap and I flat out told Steph yesterday that this CRAP IS NOT HAPPENING....I am going over to where Cory is staying after counseling today and I am informing him that IF he wants ANYTHING to do with Steph-that he better back off-he should understand that Megan was trying to defend her sister and was scared for her. Depending on he responds-will determine what happens. I keep thinking this nightmare CANT get any worse-and lo-and behold, it does. I cant believe the things my mother said to me yesterday either. That **** (excuse the language) cut like a knife. I have never done anything to her but ALWAYS give her a place to live when she didnt have anywhere (except this last time) and give her money when she didnt have any-and she never pays me back. In a months time I was giving her over $100 a month-and the most I would EVER get paid back is $20~and when she moved out last August-she left some family heirlooms here (little things, like a lighter, a really old perfume bottle and such) well-she left them on my computer desk and when I cleaned the area-I put them in a box and tossed it in the closet-when she got mad at me 2 weeks ago-she asked me to bring her that stuff-well, I could find 2 things, but not the perfume bottle and she accused me of keeping it just to make her mad. OMG-wouldnt I have kept all of it? She was telling me how important it is to her-and my comeback is-HOW can it be that important when it sat at my house for 14 months and you didnt take it when you moved? I didnt move it off my des****il this spring-so thats even several visits she was here and etc? Then she called back about 4 pm and started on me again-and this went on and on until Mike got home from wor****pt telling her I had to go-and would hang up and 10 minutes later she would call back-well-when Mike got home-and it got bad again-he took the phone from me-when my mom told me to F off-and then she hung up on him and told him that HE WASNT coming to get Steph. He called her back-and she started screaming at him.....Then he told her that she better not cop that kind of attitude with her and she shouted to everyone around her that he was threatening her. OMG!!! He told her point blank-listen, I have never done anything but be level headed and civil to you and give you a place to live and help you out financially-even when I didnt want to-but I have had enough and I dont care what you do anymore-but you better not call ME to help you out of your next situation. Dont call-dont come out and mind your own business-because IF you dont stop causing all this chiaos in our lives-you WILL NOT be seeing ANY of your grandchildren if they are under 18-do you understand me? Tell Steph I WILL be there in 15 minutes to pick her up and make sure she is ready-well, then it was a big hassle and such and Mike talked to Steph for quite a long time-thank God I told Steph we were picking her up before the fight with mom insued. So-she didnt have to feel like we were punishing her because of her grandmother. She told Steph she is moving back up to Minnesota because I treat her like crap and there are people up there who love her and treat her good. Come on-you have been saying your moving back up since December of 2006-but now your going to tell your grand-daughter its MY fault-so she will be pissed off at me when you move! This is the stuff I am talking about-so I think its just best that her time with grandma and grandpa are limited until we get some counseling time under our belts. I also talked to Eric yesterday and pretty much pleaded with him NOT to say anything about medication to Steph and to please enourage her to take the meds-and explained that IF he was against it and she didnt take it-I would have no other option but to send her that way, whether he was ready or not. He agreed-I figured he would if I approached it like that instead of threatening him. Im not saying I will automatically put her on anything they throw our way-I will research it and I will make sure its not the drugs that make kids suicidal and all of that-but IF something will help-I will try anything at this point. Ok-enough of that drama. I have to get this done so I can shower and get the kids ready to go. I am dropping the boys off with Megan and then Steph and I are going to counseling-going to look at the furniture-stopping to see Cory and talk to him and then going to the mall (sears) and such to see if we can find some jeans for Steph and a couple more t-shirts for school and then get home before I melt since we dont have working air in the Suburban right now. **Bev-I felt like there was a light at the end of the tunnel when I read your post about the nerve burning. I really hope that since you felt like doing the jig yesterday that it will continue to feel as good-did they ever tell you how long this will last if you get relief from it? Like the series of injections (3 shots, 2 weeks apart) didnt work for me-I wonder if the nerve burning will and how long the relief may last? Good luck sweety and I am praying for you that this works. **Jan-your reply to Nutti-you were talking about Beckys daughters, werent you? I burst with happiness when she talks about her children. I dont know what Mel will be doing for her hernia. We havent really gotten into it. So much is going on and believe it or not-we dont talk 1/2 as much as we used to. I miss her. I know that yesterday I missed several calls-my phone wouldnt ring but it would do that message thing-Im not sure what happened-I know that we had to set some kind of auto on it because the time was off by 40 minutes and Mike said it wasnt on auto, but now its not ringing all the time like it used to. This is the phone I just got from Mel-so I dont know what happened. It worked fine until then and I dont know what else it could be because I didnt have it on silent or whatever. I dont have much luck with cell phones, thats for sure. I will be getting a new one in October. It sure looks like its gonna storm here. Black and spooky looking. They said only 30% chance-so I guess its gonna hit us-I wi**** would cool down-we have our thermostat set at 78 and it still runs constantly-YUCK.....I wi**** would help cool it down today since we will be running most of the day! **Susan-How did the appt go? Do you have any news yet? You didnt call me back-or if you did-it didnt show up. Let me know, please. Love ya. **Mel-I read about your cousin-I am so sorry. I did call you back, just left the text of my # and thats it-Please call me today when you get time and feel up to it. I will be unavailable from 10-12. If you call and I miss ya-I will call you back-ok? Love ya. Your in my prayers. Well-I am going to go for now. Going to get some chores done and get ready to go. As always-your in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Janet

Good Morning Missouri, Yesteday I had my test and of course they told me nothing. The guy that

did the test said, "I cant say anything I see, you have to wait until the

radiologist (sp) reads this and talks to your doctor, yadda yadda, yadda!

So I know no more than I did before yesterday. Still waiting. I do have

so great news, Rory has only been in school since Monday and yesterday he

told them he was ready to take his written exams and he passed everything!

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!! (He has to go to Creve Coure to take his hazmat

test, but he said no problem he is ready as soon as he gets a day off of

school, whenever that is. He is supposed to go 12hours a day 7days a week,

but at this rate maybe he will be done really early. So he has his Class A

permit. Guess I better go, I came in an hour early today just to get a

chance to post here before getting some work done here.

JAN Sorry to hear you are hurting, I hope that you feel better soon. Thank you

about the gallbladder thing, if I gotta do it I am ready. Just wish they

would let me know one way or the other cuz I am not missing my reunion! I

will just wait until after if I have to!

JANET Or else???? I am sorry I didnt read the or else until this morning. I had

planned on calling you anyway but my niece, (her mom is in treatment)

thought she was having the baby last night so I spend the evening at the

hospital. Rory had my phone so sorry!! By the way come on up here

sweetie, you can kick my booty if it means a visit, lol! Will call

tonight, promise!

BEV Glad all went well with your shots. Like Jan said please keep us informed.

I do not want to have another surgery and that was my only option a year

ago so I really hope that this does great for you! You are in my prayers.

TAMMY AMMY Sorry to hear your daughter is going thru so much. Please tell her not to

give up, I had a tubal preg. and had adhesions, (sp) from previous

surgeries that got wrapped around inside. With my tubal they took one ovary and a tube. I meet this guy, (thought he

was the one, wrong) he had a accident where he only produced 20% "fishies",

well we thought we would have a hard time conceiving, yea right 28 days

later the rabbit died! So belive me it can happen. 13yrs later is a

teenager who hates me, lol!

LANA Thanks for the protein balls new receipes. They sound great! As soon as I am feeling better I plan on trying some, yum yum. ERIN Congrats on the new house. I am so excited for you. I am glad you are doing so good. Are you coming to the reunion?

Love Susan

Good morning OH family! How about that rain we got last night? I think it may of cooled us off a little? The thunder scared my poor puppies one wanted me to hold him....awe! I brought my low carb crock pot cookbook to work with me so I will post a few recipes from it I have one in the crockpot today can't wait to try it. Beef Brisket with Barbecue Sauce only 7 g carbs. I will post this recipe. Jan, yes my picture frame is very cool you do download pics from your computer or you insert your memory card from your digital camera but it's very cool I love it! I think I am going to ask for the 15" one for xmas so that I can hang it on the wall the one I have now is a 8" desk frame. Yes I share a desk with onther person but not at the same time. I only work part-time and then she works part-time when I'm not here. Sorry to hear that you have been hurting a lot I know my joints have been hurting a lot more recently don't know if it's due to the weather or what? I have been drinking more water then I normally do which is a good thing. Since it has been so hot out it's the only thing that helps with my thirst. I told my boss that I might be having surgery by the end of the year and he was actually pretty nice about it which shocked me. He said if he had enough notice that he could probably find someone to cover for me while I'm off. I thought he was going to tell me that it would be up to me to find a replacement which is what he normally says like if you call in sick. It's weird sometimes he can be nice but then there are times when he acts like a complete jerk that doesn't care. Ok, gotta get some work done then I will be back. Take care everyone and stay cool!

Good Morning All... I hope everyone is doing good! I was up until 2:30am with Jason and his fiancee last night. They found out that their is a 75% chance that the baby is a boy!! Unfortunately, they also got some bad news too! The baby is 23 weeks along and has a large cyst on the umbilical cord, near the placenta and there is another one in the baby's stomach! Since the baby is getting everything it needs from Momma right now that aren't going to do anything! If things change they may have a very hard decision to make! I pray that nothing changes and if it does, I pray it is after the baby is far enough along that he will be fine outside of Momma! I guess they will have to do surgery on the baby as soon as it's born for the mass in it's tummy! Worse case scenario the intestines are entangled with the mass in it's tummy! Best case is that the mass their seeing is nothing and will go away! Jason said the baby, whose name will be "Adam Lee" had both arms up like he was praising God!! I saw the pictures and yes Adam had both little arms up! David said they came up last night cause Jason needed his Momma! Truth be known, he probably did but they also came up because last night was prayer service at the Church and they wanted Wendy and the baby prayed over! Pastor had everyone praying for all of them! I know I have burdened you guys a lot with my health issues but I need your all's help again! Please keep this situation in your prayers! Man, it rained all night last night but it makes everything look and smell so clean and fresh this morning! Praise the Lord! Janet....I'm so sorry about what you are going through! I have been there and I know just how hard it can be! I also know how overwhelming it can be with everyone trying to help! You know in your heart what needs to be done! God has already told you....yes? Stay true to Him in your decisions and everything will be fine! I never thought I would make it through when my daughter was pulling that stuff and at the same time, my Mother had cancer, my Dad died as well as my best friend....just weeks after my Dad! My daughter didn't care, all she cared about was her and what she wanted to do and to he** with whatever else was going on! They grow out of it, some what! They get out in the "real" world and see just how hard it is and then they want to come back home! Stand strong in your faith and believe that you have raised her right and if she turns to doing things wrong, it's her, not you! As for your Mom.....ummm, I can't say on here what I would do.....lol I think you made the right decision to keep her out of your's and your families lives right now, maybe forever! She is full of bad mojo and she will only hurt you and those kids....kids are number one in your life, you know that! If she can't do right then she needs to be kept away...period!! As for her calling....DON'T ANSWER IT!! That's her only means of hurting you right now....CUT HER OFF! Don't take it, don't let her get to you!! It sounds to me like, if she got her way, you would be divorced and having to live their with them...doing for her ALL THE TIME!! Sorry for being loud but that brings back a lot of memories that get my blood boiling! I will keep you and your family in my prayers!! Jan...girl, I can't believe you are still outside working in this heat!! Man, I would be melting!! I go out in the cool of the evening to check my tomato plants and other veggies but seriously, I think I'm only growing tomatoes for the critters around here. I'm going to set a live trap and see what we come up with, I think it's coons but we will see! I'm so glad that Sugar came through her surgery just fine! God is here for us all! Praise His name!! My daughter called yesterday complaining about the fact that she's sick and hasn't ate for days and wouldn't be at work if she had sick days built up! Ummm, you have to work on a job more than just A FEW DAYS to get sick days!! I though that's pretty good though that she doesn't want to be bothered with my health issues but she has no problem calling her to tell us hers! I just sat there and let her ramble on! When she was done, I told her about the second lump we found...she had to go and said she would call back, I haven't heard from her yet!! Since her last episode of "I don't need your stress on top of mine" I haven't called her to complain about a thing! She never heard all the news about the lump nor what is going on with her brother's baby! I have no intentions on calling her to do so either. Soon, she will be calling to complain about me NOT telling her about what's going on in the family! Watch and see! I have noticed that we have a lot of newbies on board! I want to WELCOME them all!! Melissa....I don't know what all's going on with you but I do pray that everything works out and that you will be back on here cutting up with us in no time!! Well, I need to go eat and then off to Wally World!! You all keep safe!! Love & Prayers, Deb M

Hello Missouri, So much going on with all of you. You are in my prayers both joys and also concerns. Things have slowed down here - we're nearly ready for next week when the instructors come back to school. I have actually had time to read email and do this post!!! WOOHOO!!! Sunday afternoon we are driving up to Kansas City to meet my best friend, Carol and her DH. They are driving DD and DGS down there and then we'll bring the kids on down to our house for a visit and then they will drive my old car - their new car - back home. I am excited to see everyone. DD and DGS haven't been down here since Christmas although I've been up to their house a couple of times. Their car was pretty iffy!!! I sure hope the weather cools off before Johns sons come at Labor day and the week afterward. One lives in Las Vegas (hotter than He**) and the other in San Francisco (always cool) but they think we live in the back of beyond and then if it's hot they really complain. They are good boys and love their dad and I but they just don't understand why we'd want to live where there is no "action". Actually, that's what we like about this area. There is plenty of action for us - and we can drive to Saint Louis or Kansas City to get our big city fix occasionally. Must get to work before my boss comes back from the dentist. Love all of you lots, Lana

Hi everyone and Jan I am praying for everyone who is feeling poorly and hope everyone starts feeling better soon. I wish I had time to name everyone but we're getting so many new ones I feel awful if I leave anyone out. I do know what is going on with everone tho adn try to read everyones posts. I also try to answer try to reply to at least two or three a day. I am going to check out curves and the Y today or early in the morning if I ca't get an appt today. I want to find which is best for me. I still am at a point where I don't care if I eat or not. I can fix dinner for the family and not even blink an eye when I can't eat it. I made DD some no bake cookies lastnight because she was craving them but didn't even desire to taste them. She told me she felt bad cause I made them and can't even have one. I told her don't be sad because I don't want one. She is amazed at how this surgery has changed my outlook on food but said she hopes she doesn't have to worry about me not eating. That won't happen I feel like I am hunry for the good stuff veggies chicken and salad but when I get there it might be a lot like where I am at ow. I couldn't wait to get to the stage where I am at but it just don't sounds good or even taste good. I haven't lost any weight in over a week and as a matter of fact have gained 2 pounds now. I'm a little discouraged but trying to not get overwhelmed about it. Well gotta get movin Love ya guys Hugs
