WHATS HAPPENINGS WEDNESDAY

Today was a good burning day I said and it was. I burnt all of the limbs that we had cut up and were all around everywhere. Got it all gone by 11:30, then got a call from Home Depot that the dishwasher that I ordered was there. Came in and took a bath, well not before I had a good laugh at myself, I looked in the mirror and I had suet everywhere, my face, arms and legs. And my feet were filty and black as they could be . I guess from walking in the dewy grass and then the suet too. .

 

Well Joe got the front bedroom done all except the trim , I told him I would get all the trim out and paint it tomorrow , it will dry quick. Then we can get it up. While I am doing that he can install the new water heater we got for them . the one that was in there was just too little to carry two people , dishwasher and washer if you us ho****er to wash with, I don’t most of the time , the only load that I do in ho****er is my sheets and pillowcases. Like to kill those dust mites lol

 

So after the phone call I went to Home depot and got the d/w and w/h and they had flowers on sale , so of course I had to get a bunch of those …..i bought 5 more of those lilly of the nile lilies, and after got home wished I had bought enough to put down both sides of the driveway. They are suppose to bloom all summer. I have daffodils for the spring, and iris too but not much for summer.  A few double tiger lilies.

They are really pretty …..and they spread well too.

I need to thin mine out this fall  anyone want any let me know.

Bec I am thinking about getting a box and mailing you those lilies I have. I can cut off all the tops and clean them up so I can get a lot in one of those boxes that is one rate no matter how much it cost. What do you think?

 

I stopped on the way home and bought Joe some KFC, not for me anymore , I use to love that stuff but it makes me very ill now. You know food just doesn’t really appeal to me at all. I think Janet said that too. I would just as soon never eat again. I feel great just doing my protein drinks. but once in a while I get hungry so I eat something that doesn’t make me sick, usually ground beef that I make like a taco salad without the shells lol

 

Well guess what people they are predicting rain starting Thursday evening and going thru sat morning. Isnt that just dandy? I guess the fireworks will be done in the rain if at all. Well I know my dog would be pleased. Lol

 

Wanted to ask you all a favor,,,,,PLEASE DO NOT send me text messages on my phone unless it is an emergency….if emergency  that is great but please no more of these forwards . I have to pay for all of those texts and it is running into some money. Last month I paid 20 extra dollars for junk that I just deleted …

Sheila I know that is how you have to use the phone and that is fine ok? No problem but everyone else if you want to talk please just call me.

Thanks I really appreciate it.

 

 

 

ANGY:::: no I don’t get the chewables  I just get regular multivitimans. I take two of them a day , one in the morning and one in the evening.

Yes sweetie there are risks to this surgery but I figured that if I kept being fat then one day I would be having to have a heart bypass due to being fat so the risk now not as great as then would be.

Besides like Janet said if you are going to die on that date you will die on that date doesn’t matter what you are doing , surgery or sleeping.

 

I ordered some samples of the Nectar and I really didn’t like it but you might, order a sample thing. They send you a lot , a package of all the flavors. What I did is if I like it some I put that on the package and saved it. That way I knew which flavors I could stand and the ones I couldn’t. the best one to me was the capachinno.

 

 

 

JANET:::: I haven’t heard a word on Cassie, Deb hasn’t posted another thing. When people don’t tell us something I get nervous don’t you? I know bad stuff happen very rarely but it really upsets the pre ops and us old post ops get upset too. All we can do is pray I have sent Deb an email but so far haven’t heard from her.

Will continue to keep all the others in prayer too. Seems like every once in awhile there are so many to pray for. Doesn’t it?

 

Sometimes those busydays are so busy that you don’t even know what you did later. Lol

I know I have them like that once in awhile. I don’t even know anything to type about what I did, I just worked all day.

 

Boy sounds like you are determined to get your place in shape. I know I am like that about being impatient when I start a program I want it done yesterday and wont stop till it is done.

Oh I bet you didn’t mind at all holding that baby did you? Lol

Hey the next time that Lowes is going to have a sale , let me know. OK? Lol would have loved to get in on that.

 

Lol yeah sometimes I can barely stand how happy I feel about just being able to do the dirtiest  job and how good it feels. Joe is the same way and I will be doing something and I will look up and he is just grinning lol

 

Your colors and all sound really good. Even if I don’t like white rooms all the other colors will be pretty with them for sure.

 

That sounds like you on the volunteering, you are always doing things for people , we all know a lot of the things you do but I know you are already doing a lot of good for a lot of people. Don’t spread yourself too thin. Ok?

 

Cant wait for the next meeting , wow im going to get quite a haul at that time huh???lol

I will ask about the ones you are talking about but those can be bought at the mfa farm store over in the north part of town in Springfield . Seems like they are about 20 a piece don’t remember exactly but they aren’t much.

 

Will love having you all to come down. I just hope I get about a week to start doing stuff and getting things back up to par since that storm it wiped out a lot of things.

 

That’s ok about the text you don’t send that many , there is one person that send s and sends and sends them.

Hopefully after my post about them they will not send anymore. Thanks for the info about I should tell everyone to stop.

 

 

BEC:::: well the prayers in ernest start and if that doesn’t work and they refuse maybe Janet and I can organize a staged protest march in front of their building lol you think that would work? Well we might try anyway. \

 We can carry pickets and yell and raise our fists at them and make signs saying they are cheaters and  mean and all kinds of stuff.

 

They just better not that is all.

I hope Dr. Hornbostel can help you out some.

 

 

SUGAR:::: hey naybe  you ought to get you a stock tank and raise your own craddads…you would have to put an electic fence around it tho cause the coons would things you had set them out a buffet feast lol

That isnt bad at all for a palett of rocks I don’t think, well it is when you can go out and pick them  up yourself but so a lot either.

What did the water garden there say about the rocks around the edge?

My front pond has way too much water in it now since the rain and isnt making much noisy right now. Tomorrow I will probably dip some of it out ….

 

 

Rachael:::: hope you enjoy your vacation ….get rested. Have fun and enjoy being with the family.

 

 

DEBBIE  M: :::::::Jump on that Harley, even tho gas is high they get great gas milage so you can go a long way on a tank cant you?

It will be easier for David to steer it now since you have lost some.

Enjoy yourselves.

 

 

 

BEV::::: oh no,,,,I know there is nothing as annoying as not likeing the job you are doing.

Have you not had any other offers or any neat job outlooks?

Hair loss is almost always all about the amount of protein you are or rather aren’t getting. Up it fast , not with food you cant eat enough to make a differentce. Up it with your protein drink. If you have been doing 2 a day do 3 ok?

Your hair will start coming back as soon as you get some more protein in.

 

 

SHANNON ::::   ouch well lets hope you don’t have an emergency wouldn’t want that.

That is great about your feet. Good going keep up the exercises.

 

Lol yeah that stuff fools you and sneaks up on you don’t it …we just have to remember that one bite isnt enough and two bites is too many for we hybrids…dumping isnt any fun that is for sure.

We really do learn by trial and error but the good thing is we learn. Lol

Your fresh green beans sound so good. I always liked new potatoes with them but if I fix them like that I wont be able to eat as many potatoes like I use to for sure. Maybe a half of one if that. Starches make me sick too. Not really dump but don’t feel well.

Howdy Guys ~n~ Gals... Wooo Hooo finally had a pretty good day....Even did a bit of cleaning... It's been so hard for me to be down after getting a taste of having energy and actually be able to get around and do things.....I was not prepared for how much the hernia surgery took out of me!!  Im pretty sure the darn UTI I had before surgery is still trying to linger.... I took a week of antibiotics before surgery and then the night I was in the ER after surgery they gave me a round of IV Rocefin....but I'm still having alot of pressure and cramping.....So I am going to see my PCP in the morning to get it checked...... And the swelling went down enough for me to wash in my belly button and I have felt a knot!!!!! When I was in the ER they told me I still had a hernia but Dr. Scott told them that what they were seeing was the fluid sack......But now that the swelling is down and I can wash in there I can still fill a knot!!! I am talking to her about that tomorrow too..... PLEASE PRAY IT'S JUST THE FLUID SACK I AM FEELING!!!  I can not imagin it being so hard but I don't know anything about that type of stuff so for the moment I am going to have faith that Dr.Scott is right and it is just the fluid sac! I hope everyones doing good.....My prayers are with Cassie & her family.....I hope we hear better news on her soon!! Praying for all of you to have surgery this month.....Looking forward to feeling the bump on the loosers bench as each of you hit it!!! God Bless each of you Luv & Hugs ....Tammy~ammy

Good Mornin' Jan and OH Peeps~

Couldnt sleep, so I thought I would do my post....My eyes are SO heavy, but yet, I cant sleep-tonite I fell asleep texting Angy (sorry sis~), My mom and Megan. As soon as I would fall asleep-I would either jerk my head OR my phone would fall and then I was wide awake once again!!! Please, numbered sheep-OR sleepy time bear-come and visit Janet so she can get some rest! This weather is just reaking havic on my back! I kept telling everyone this morning that it was going to rain in the next 2 days sometime and I was told the weather channel or the news here wasnt calling for it until Friday....Said I didnt care WHAT the weather channel said-"My arthritis, DDD and DJD IS TELLING ME OTHERWISE!!!" Of course-saw on the news tonite-that we are suppose to get it tomorrow and then off and on through the 4th of July weekend. Dang it!!! We finally made plans-figures!!

Please continue to pray for Cassie. I wish Deb would get on here and update us. I know I feel just like Jan, nervous when we dont hear anything! Does anyone know what hospital and her last name? ANYONE??

What a day, What a day, What a day!! I cant believe that today, I was as busy-nope, I really think I was BUSIER than yesterday...good grief Charlie Brown!

Started my day at the dialysis center with Kenny and the director-Don. I have HIS word, that this little mishap will NOT happen to Kenny again! I did explain to him that there would be NO more discussions....IF this happened to him again-there would further action taken-AND a report made to the AMA- which would spark an investigation....Before it was all said and done-2 of the staff members were called into the office (like a principal) Kenny was just smiling ear to ear while I was talking....he told them that there are only 2 people in this world that he wouldnt tangle with for anything in this world-and one was my dad, and the other they were looking at! Anyway-Mr. Director Don gave me his card with his home phone written on it-and told me that I was to call him if they released him like that again. Please keep Kenny in your prayers. I appreciate it.

Then...I get a call from Megan and she was bawling her head off so bad that I cannot understand her. I was scared something may be wrong baby wise. By the time she was getting settled down, I was parking in front of her place. Their house fell through! The people who were SUPPOSE to be moving, their house deal fell through (they were going to be buying one!) THEN....On top of that heart breaking news for her-she had her last day at Maternity Motherhood on Monday. She has been a supervisor there for over a yr now-WELL......she had given her months notice when they moved into the motel to save a down payment-because she was working 3 different jobs AND going to school part time.....Well-Monday evening she went to her 2nd job and she was told that the owner sold the restaurant and that the staff was all going to be laid off for a month while the restuarant is being remodeled and there is a chance that they will not keep the staff they have now!!! I tried mercifully to cheer her-and tell her that God has shut those doors, but he WILL open others! Gods delays are not always denials! In fact-Mike and I are in the midst of talking to a neighbor-about 1/2 mile from us-were they have a rental home, and we were told that its empty now-Havent seen the people there in at least a month-How SWEET would that be? 1/2 mile from us and she can drop off Mackenzie when she is on her way to school....her nana will be more than happy to spoil her rotten, I mean-keep an eye on her while Meg finishes school.....How awesome that would be! I just cannot wait for this baby to get here. I wasnt excited about the timing of this all-and she did want to finish school before having any kids....but it is what it is-she said that she isnt letting the GYN docs change her birth control around again without using something else in the meantime.....But-all in all, she is happy about it-just overwhelmed right now is all. She has been sick every single day since we found out-well, she was sick before then-but thought she may be coming down with a bug or something. Aaron did get a promotion into management at Lowes-and he got a healthy raise-so they will be okay-but if you wouldnt mind sending some prayer up for them right now-I would appreciate it so much....

Well, speaking of babies-I saw a onesie Im getting that says-What happens at Grandmas, Stays at Grandmas~ Then.....we saw the CUTEST and I do mean CUTEST tiniest little sandals I have ever seen in my life. They were the type that go between the toes-and right about the big toe-there is the cutest little daisy flower-and of course a baby couldnt keep them on alone-they had a little strap around the back to keep them on!! So adorable... but somehow I refrained. I really have to either buy universal stuff right now-OR wait till we know for sure.

Well, so I am talking to Megan and my dad calls. His housekeeper had another emergency and was going to have to leave AND I was already doing the laundry for Megan and Aaron (it pays their rent) so-he asked me if I could help my mom clean a couple of rooms.....by a couple, he meant 13...yes, you heard me right-13....and the kicker was, my mom had a dr appt at 2 pm, so she was having to leave. I started before 11 and I walked out of there right before 8 WITH 2 ten minute breaks, that was it. I actually still had 2 rooms that didnt get cleaned, but they were trashed-and I mean food on the walls AND even on the box springs, gum stuck in the carpet-they even shoved wrappers and etc in the toilet and clogged it. They ruined ALL bedding, including the comforters AND mattress covers AND they also ruined every towel in their rooms, we found pot pipes-and called the police and reported them!! Argh~~!!!!

I also had an episode with Jon that broke my heart. He has a speech impairment and we have been working with him-without humiliating him or whatever....WELL-yesterday he was in his carseat and singing this song that Mikes singing Bass fish sings-called Take me to the river-well, yes-he doesnt say all the words correctly and he is crying-HUGE alligator tears. I asked him what was wrong and he said that he was really sorry that he is stupid and am I embaressed of him??? I asked where he ever got an idea like that-and him and Darrel tell me that Vikki (Mikes mom) has been making him stand in front of everyone and MAKES him say something-for instance Fish....time and time and time again and tells him he is going to have to stay there until he says it correctly. Or-HE isnt allowed to have his snack or treat until HE says this or that. It really embaresses him! He feels stupid and hates it when he feels that way! I told Mike tonite-YOU better talk to her, IF YOU dont, I WILL-Period. I was already a little peeved with her anyway-because when I was sitting out at the pool the night before holding the baby-she told me that we shouldnt be going around telling everyone that Megan is pregnant, because what are we going to do if she miscarries? I looked at her and told her to bite her tongue! She said well, it happens A LOT, you know! I said-I DONT CARE HOW OFTEN it happens, DO NOT sit here and entertain the devil and say something so terrible. Why do people say the most assinine things? Do they even THINK before they open those mouths and insert foot?

I also broke 2 glasses, one flower vase and one of the glasses was 1/2 full of money-what a mess that was! I was definitely ready to get home. I stopped at wm on my way home and got some chicken and tea,

My hubby has given me two surprises this week-the first is a gas powered RC car. I can actually race in the events with it...Im excited!! Actually, I got a little upset because I know what they cost-but Mike did some trading and so it took the price down a bunch! Then-he gave me a gift certificate to a tattoo shop. I am changing up the tattoo on my back....not saying what I am doing-but I will show some of you at group.

Well, I better get to my responses-I have to go to town early and run some errands and then if my parents housekeeper isnt back yet-I will help, but at least Megan will be there to help as well AND do the laundry. Woo Hoo.

The kids are coming out tomorrow (well tonite-LOL) and they are bringing stuff for a BBQ and we are gonna swim...or just float around.... They have also asked us if we will join them Friday for the 4th of July in Joplin at Landreth Park-Mark Chesnutt (country singer) is giving a free concert in the park. We arent sure yet-we may leave to go camping when Mike gets home from work..OR just go for a night or two-Mike has a RC race Sat that he wants me to go to so I can watch him race and Kenny wants to go as well....so there is just so much-so many options. Since he has Thurs and Fri off-we would love to go fishing-but will see. ALL the camping and fishing stuff is in one place so if we go-we have easy access.

**Oh, before I forget-Stephanie called my mom Monday night and asked if she could come visit until Friday!!! So-I will see her tomorrow. Im pretty excited about that! Please pray for that situation as well....

**Jan-Thanks for the info on that MFA store. I will see if there is one here in Joplin....so its just a farm and home place? I can do that. I wonder if Atwoods would carry them?

I will tell you the next time there is a huge sale....maybe the stuff will be on sale close to you too-my mom went back today and bought almost the rest of the flowers-they were marked down to .10 and .50 now! A whole flat of flowers for .50...YEEE HAWWWW. Aaron is team leader over that dept, so he does give me a heads up and I will do the same for you.

Wow, guess what? I used to LOVE KFC as well-cant do it whatsoever-anymore, dump every time Ive tried-3 times I think. Just not worth it. BUT-Had to laugh again-I can do burger for taco meat anytime...its one of my absolute favorite things to eat.

Hey-did you see that your Monday Whats Happening had 106 hits? Gee Whiz....WISH MORE OF U LURKERS WOULD COME IN AND POST or just say hi.....??? Come on!!

Wow on the texting....thats a lot of money to get forwards or nothing texts.....Im so sorry, for my part-although, I usually dont send you any forwards-dont know that I ever have....I usually dont even text unless I know someone else has AT&T as well, AND a texting plan. Like I said yesterday....sometimes you just gotta say it and go on! No hard feelings on my part, thats for sure. I understand, and wouldnt be too happy about basically flushing $20 a month down the toilet for junk.

Just out of curiousity-are you still gonna ask that guy about the half narrow barrels on the stands? Let me know.

Yes-we will picket everyone IF they give Bec problems this time around, however-I dont think she will have any more problems. Im so excited for her!! I will talk to you soon.

**Sug-It sure sounds beautiful. Yes, I will stop over sometime and see it. I was playing with ya on the crawdads. I have never had one, but I was sure wiling to bring them to you..if you change your mind-let me know. k?

**Bec-Im so happy to hear about your doc and then the surgeons office. WOW!!! I am praying like a mad woman!!! This IS IT!!! They will approve you this time and all the waiting will be over....YAY... Love ya and talk to you soon. Hope your feeling ootles better!!!

**Bev-Im so sorry about your job. I hate it when stuff like that happens, like they tell you one thing-and when you start its totally the opposite. I pray it gets better for you.

I started losing my hair at 3 months too-with taking extra hair stuff. I dont think it will stop, no matter what you take. It does slow down around 6-7 months or so-or at least it did for me! Now my hair is twice as thin as it was before. Good luck to you tho. I know its so hard when you like your hair too!!

**Angy-I am praying for you. Please dont give up hope or get down about it. It will ALL work out, it will~ Im sorry I passed out while we were texting. Forgive me. I will catch up with you tomorrow-Ok? Till then, please keep your chin up. Love ya.

**Tammy-Ammy....YAY-your back...We have missed ya! Your t/t is going to be approved-so you dont have to worry about that. You will....Love ya and will talk to you soon.

**Sheila-Are you ok? Hope so-and hope your feeling good...Will text ya tomorrow and check up on ya. Love ya

**Shannon-Im sorry about your garden. If we lived closer-I would give you some of my stuff...our green beans are fantastic this year~! I would love to grow red baby potatoes-will have to ck into that for next year.

**Deb M-well, with that description of your ride at sunset-how can you go wrong? It sounds so peaceful and romantic...Woooo Hooooo for you. Mike and I pretend the Polaris 4 wheeler is our peaceful ride into the sunset-LOL.... One of these days we will have one too-but we have some other major purchases first-and we also have a 67' Mustang that we want to finish restoring-and thats top priority for us when we can, that is.

Im sorry if I missed ya. I hope everyone has a good Weds and as always, your in my thoughts and prayers. Make sure and tell your loved ones you love them....and heck-throw in a hug if you can..you wont ever regret it. Please remember those who need prayer-in your prayers. Thanks and talk to you soon. Love, Janet

JAnet...yes i do like fishing and im sure i will love it more now that i can get up and down and move around..  tonight i am going down to Lickings and spending the night with my inlaws and going to a food visit with them to see my soon to be ex as i do still love him even if we getting a annulment...but life must also go on

Tammy ammy im praying for you...... Cassie ....im praying for you too and every one *****quested em... im always tired at night when i get to work out side after working but after i read jan and janets post im usually worn out even more from all the stuff they do in a day  LOL miss you all and love ya i wanna come to reunion so need to share with some body on the cabin....

Good morning all! Well I survived the night, altho I didnt sleep well. Tossed and turned alot I think because I was so sore. My nails have survived and havent broken off but they sure look nasty. I scrubbed on them while showering last night but they are still bad. I was wearing gloves but wore the fingertips out of them...lol! I havent gone to the water garden place yet but am going to try today.. I replied to you on the other post I made...Wow Moments. Janet, I wouldnt mind you bringing me some crawdaddys but we would need about 20 pounds to make a meal, yu only eat the meat from the tail. I felt so bad about little JON and his grandma doing that to him. What was she thinking? Bless his heart. Once that is felt in a childs heart, it is hard to convince them otherwise and it just absolutely breaks your heart...I will pray that his little heart heals quickly and that spirit of defeat is taken away from his little mind.

I am going running around today with a friend, so I will rest my body from some of this hard work. Everyone take care and keep loving each other!

 Good morning all...   I hope everyone is having a great day, I'm hoping to get a few thing's around here done and then hopefully off to do somemore fishing. Tiff, myself, and my cousin Tj went for awhile last night, we really didn't have much luck, and the one's we did catch we gave to a poor starving dog that had been dumped. This poor guy looked terrible all skin and bone's. I have never seen a dog eat fish before muchless whole fish at a time. He even jumped and bit a fish off Tiff's line taking hook and all, we were very worried about him swallowing it, but none of us put our hand's near his mouth (never know about stray one's no matter how sweet they act), but he never acted like he had a problem swallowing it. I get so angry at people when I see the aftermath of these dumped animal's (although I'm thankful that somebody dumped our Frito, at least they done it close to house's, not in the middle of nowhere were the animal wouldn't have a chance). I was a little nervous when the dog came up because he looked like he was a pit bull, and being hungry on top of that, thankfully he was pretty friendly and minded pretty good, I think he was just happy to be getting something to eat. I plan on taking my truck back today (and food) and if he is still there I will take him to a shealter. I hated leaving him there last night but really didn't have much choice (i feel like I'm as bad as the person who dumped him) in the matter.  Janet thank you so much on the pep talk about surgery (Cassie's trouble). I know since I had just change my mind from the lapband to the more dangerous rny that I kept thinking omg is this a sign, should I change back to the lapband, you know all the normal stuff, but after reading your post and getting my mind right again (like my mind has ever been right LOL) I know the rny is the right choice and if I don't get something done soon thing's are going to go real bad for me, thank you so much though for helping keep my chin up love you girl.  I don't know Cassie but I hope and pray that everything will be ok for her and her family. We all need to keep praying and sending her good vibe's.  Jan I really don't know what kind of pup's they are, we are not really for sure what kind of dog Frito is, all we know is that she has some pit in her and what else we have no clue. She's a wonderful gaurd dog, and such a sweet girl. Her and Peanut get along great, even with such a big size difference Peanut still run's the show LOL.   I hope everyone has a great day.  Love and Hug's

Let me start by going back a few days.... Jarett went to the Dr. His knee has fluid on the top of it. Not too bad and was cleared for football. I am happy for him. I went to my primary care doc yesterday and my blood pressure was high and we talked as we normally do and I  talked to him about my toenail. I stubbed my toe about 4 years ago and about 1/2 the nail is dead. It always grows back white, hard and thick so I always cut it down. It isnt really a bother, but wont really grow and I want my pretty feet back. Who wants ugly feet especially when the rest of them is going to be beautiful!!! LOL. So, he is going to remove it!! Yikes! I am a little nervous for that one. But, I have had babies and tattoos, I am sure I can handle a nail removal!! I am not nervous about the nail, I am scared as hell about the needle they are going to put into my toe!! I know if you have seen all the tattoos I have your thinking uh, okay? lol. But, really this is the ONLY reason I am scared!!! I wish they would put me out!!    I got the boys bunkbeds later in the day, they got the futon and twin on top. They are black and the kids are glad, this way there room is much bigger. ( they got the master bedroom) I didnt need it since I am selling my bedroom furniture and just keeping the bed. Yesterday, was also Jordan Treivohn's 14th bday!! He is so big! 5'8 and 135lbs!! He is my miracle baby!! Last evening we had dinner and cake with my parents in Kansas. My step-dad will be taking me to Sedelia, so I am so glad!! I am going to rent a car and he will drive me. I will rent another one for the Pre-op although I will probably go with one of the boys and then either my mom or dad will take me for the actual surgery. Today, I am going to get ahead on back to school clothes shopping for the kids. They are having sales!! I have kept cassie in my thoughts and prayers! I feel so bad for her, but I am not much older then her and this scares me... As I know it does all of us that havent had the surgery yet. I am having faith in my doctor and I know that others have had problems like this, but still it is a scary thing. Prayer helps me though.
