Good Tuesday Morning

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!!
Today is the day I get to go see the Oncologist (Cancer doc) and finally get my radiation and chemo schedule. WOO HOO! I'm so excited about getting this going so I can go back to living life. Matt bought me a used van last night. I have to go to a Ford dealer here in town and get the remote reprogrammed because it will only unlock the driver's door and the trunk won't unlock at all. So... Ford dealer here I come... FIX ME!!! hahahahah Got my new engagement ring... it's so beautiful. I"ll post pics of it later. Ordered many decorations for the wedding and finally got my "save the date" magnets printed and labeled so some of you should be seeing those hit your mailboxes (snail mail) soon. Other then that, not much going on with me. Hope everyone has a great day! Jodi

Do a google search on the web on how to program the remote.  It will save you 35.00 and is fairly easy.  I remember it is something like turn the key to accessory and then ??????.  Give it a try.  Hey March 1st is right around the corner.  The dinner at Paragon Rockville road and Girls School is still on and hope you are feeling OK to attend. Praying for you and yours always. God Bless.

Good morning all I am very tired today. Only because I got home late last night.  I worked 11 hours, then had an officer's meeting at 6pm, then our department business meeting, then a meeting with one of my employees. So I didnt get away from wor****il about 9:30 last night.  I hate those late nights.  I didnt get to eat supper, so I went home tried some cup of soup (ramen noodle kind) it didnt work well with my stomach. Too much noodles I think. So I didnt eat any more of it. So I ate some pudding with bannans mixed in it.  I will eat better today.  The rest of the week will be a lot easier, no meetings!  Oh yea and yesterday some dumb butt hit me when I was coming back from the orthodontist with my daughter.  She took out my whole front passenger corner of my van.  Her fault!  Cars were stopped letting her pull out of a gas station and I was coming down the turn lane and she didnt see me and was shooting across to go the opposite direction and ran right into me.  I am thankful though she hit me where she did. If I had been just a little further in time she would have hit my daughters side right smack in the passenger side door.  It scared Tiffany (my daughter) to death.  She said you stupid a$$. Of course, I said "TIFFANY, I dont want to hear that again."  She covered her mouth just as soon as she said and said "oh, I'm sorry"  I said if you werent used to saying it, it wouldnt have slipped out"....lol. Anyway nobody was hurt.  I am in a rental car a PT Cruiser. It's ok, but I wouldnt buy one. It is not as smooth riding as my van. Jodi- First off congratulations on your new ring and new van.  I cant wait to see pics of your ring.  Hope all goes well with your radiation and chemo.  It will be tough for you, I am sure.  But, with all of us here praying for you, you will get through it. Everyone have a good day and stay warm its is freezing out there.

Jodi...good luck today sweetie! We're fixing to head out to Bill's surgery/procedure. He has to be there at 9:15. I'll catch you all up on our day a little later... Sherri

Jodi... good luck with the chemo schedule. I pray everything goes well for you. Congrats on the ring and van.  I am about at all I can handle today. Today is my Lucy's 9th birthday. Or would be her 9th birthday. I can remember the morning of her birthday so much. She was a scheduled c-section. I remember getting up around 3am, and getting ready to be at the hospital at 6am. It was dark when we got there, but birds were singing. We were so excited. I didn't know we'd only have 5 weeks with her. She was a beautiful baby, with dark brown hair and dark blue eyes. Mikey's probably going to be recommended for residential care. That means 4-6 months of hospitalization. I don't think I can agree with that. Mike is on the same page as me. He's too young. Only 10. I am looking into a day program for treatment/school here in Terre Haute. That might be the answer. 

Good luck, Jodi and Sherri. Keep us posted on what you find out today.  Sorry I have been MIA for a few days.  Things have really been hectic around here.  It is slowing down a little bit, but it will still be busier for the next few days until we can get our house back in order.  We have Emily spending 4 days and nights with us while her parents are in WVA at job interviews. They are going to be transferring to another casino in a couple weeks, and we agreed to keep Emily with us so she doesn't miss any school, and the girls can spend as much time as possible before she moves.  Moving at any age sucks, but when you are young and not sure of what to expect, it makes it harder on the children.  Molly got her cast off her leg yesterday. She is so happy, and so are we!!  At least now she will not have any excuses anymore! LOL I am planning a lasagna dinner here at the house for this evening.  I make a pan of lasagna that is 4" deep, and the pan can barely fit into my oven! LOL  Go figure why I was ever so large then! HEHEHE  At least everyone I know enjoys the lasagna. It is so yummy! I will be able to eat the sauce and filling at least, and maybe a bite of the noodles, so I will be happy! Gotta get up and going........house cleaning this morning, and then start the lasagna.  My sauce simmers for several hours before I even assemble the meal!  Have a great day all. I will try to post more soon!

Nothing really exciting here today.  It's my 1 year anniversary at my job...so, to celebrate, I've packed my day with almost wall to wall meetings!!  Isn't it stupid how many meetings we have and yet, somehow, work actually gets done...amazing. I bought a new road bicycle last night.  It was expensive but, it's my investment in myself (and motivation) to get out and start riding for distance.  (Of course, it's a little too cold right now but, soon, I'm sure) I bought at 2008 GT GTR Series 4, if anyone is a cyclist here.  It's so pretty!!  :)  It's matte black with yellow accents.  I traded in my old and VERY heavy mountain bike for 50 bucks and got this one.  It's amazing how much lighter the road bike is compaired to the mountain bike!!  I can lift my new bike with one finger...it's pretty cool. Anyway, my new goal structure goes like this: (and this assumes that the weather is warmer) 1.  Ride at least 5 miles 3 nights a week for 2 weeks 2.  Ride at least 10 miles 3 nights a week for 3 weeks 3.  Ride at least 20 miles 3 nights a week for 4 weeks 4.  Ride at least 30 miles 2 nights a week for the rest of the summer 5.  Participate in at least 2 CIBA or local riding club rides this summer I think I should be able to do this...I might have to adjust it due to scheduling/timing or my level of fitness (or lack thereof) at this stage but, you need to at least start with goals in mind...if I don't then it just becomes random and eventually falls off completly and then I wasted all that money.  (And, I get *****ed at by wifey  :)  ) ck

Hey everybody, It's Tuesday and I need to get my rear in gear for work. My Dh has been sick since last monday and I am exhausted from no sleep,poor guy so I know he is too. I am running on extreme tired right now. Not much going on, I am gonna weig and jump in the shower. See ya Shanna
