TGIF
Good Morning Hoosier Losers,
It's going to be a great day. Just because I say it is. I have to work today, which is a Monday - Friday occurence. I am still assessing the kiddos to decide the groups within their classroom. I like meeting the students.
We took our daughter to Ball State on Wednesday. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done. She is my "baby". She's the last one to go. It's so different here at home.
I have been really tired lately. I think it's because I am working every day. I haven't done this since the middle of May. I'm sure I will adjust.
Hopefully, we will be making another run to Ball State this weekend. Our daughter had trouble with her brand new laptop. It had to be taken in for a new keyboard. The parts are in. It should be fixed today or tomorrow. So we will need to take it to her.
Everyone have a great day.

Nothing much going on here today. I haven't made any plans for sure. But then again around here plans doesn't need to be made for something to go on. lol
I might have to go in to the church this morning to talk to Pastor about the evaluations for the church. I have gotten some of them back from those I gave them to but near the 15 evaluations that I passed out. I have had to almost beg for people to get the ones back that I have. Jeez, sometimes I wonder about some people. They want things to happen in the church but then when it comes time for them to step up to the plate they just leave it to other people. I sometimes just don't understand people.
Pastor's dad is really weak now from having the the radiation for the brain cancer. He is going back to Cincinatti just about every week. I feel sorry for him. It is him and that is it. He is an only child so it falls on him. He already had a full plate with the church and doing his dissertation for the PhD. Now this. His dad is a really nice person. I pray that things turn out well. I fully understand the problems of taking care of a terminal parent. I had the full responsibility of my mom until her death. If you could continue to pray for Pastor's dad I would very much appreciate it.
I have to write my sermon for Sunday's state park church service. I am not really in the mood to do this but I have to. there is only one more service after this one. It ends at the Labor Day week end. I will be working on it today since I am running out of time. lol I have no idea on the subject but I know that God will point me in the right direction since He does each and every time. I am so glad that the love and direction of God never fails. He always points us in the right direction if we only listen to Him.
I better get going. I am praying that everyone has a blessed day today. I am sending my love and hugs to all. Prayers are going up for everyone with special ones going up for those in need of them. Which makes me wonder just how is our little earth angel Gail doing? I miss having her spread her special love and caring to all of us.
Thanks to everyone for their prayers yesterday. My daughter's interview went very well. Now she just has to play the waiting game. She originally thought her placement would be in Fort Wayne but they told her yesterday that Marion VA may be a better fit for her and wanted to know if she would be willing to drive there. Well, DUH? She said of course she would for the opportunity. So now we play the waiting game.
We have a craft festival in our town this weekend. So that should be fun. It is so exciting to know that I can go to something like that and actually can walk around easily to enjoy something like that. There are so many things I missed being able to do before WLS.
Well, the shower is calling my name. I'll write more later...have a great day! Karen
Hope everyone is doing well today. I am starting to have some skin issues around my belly button, so hopefully I will be able to get a call into Dr. Shina this morning. I can't see my belly button anymore due to the excess skin, so I want to see what can be done about it. I just hope that I can afford PS eventually.......I know I can't right now, but thats neither here nor there. I know now that I am just going to have to have PS eventually, so I want to work however I can to have it done.
Have a great day all.........time to get everyone in the shower and off to school and work! TTYL

I'm fixing to jump in the shower. Tiffany should be here ~7:30 and then she, Bill & I will head over to St. V's. I am so glad to be getting these darn holes in my stomach closed up finally. I hope this time that they heal right. I've had one of them pretty much every since my hernia repair March 3rd. The other one, a few weeks later. Dr. Gupta will be doing it under 'monitored anesthesia' and out-patient. It'd be nice if they'd close up so I could finally get in the hot tub again! I haven't been in it since last September. This summer, with the holes, I haven't been able to go swimming either. I miss both of them!
I got my truck fixed yesterday. It was just a sensor valve. Pesky little thing was stuck. So...$150 & 4 hours later, it's in business again. I did end of having to go back to work for an hour last night which I wouldn't have had to do if it weren't for that darn thing but oh well, got it all done now!
You all have a good day today! I'll be in la-la land..

ps..Check them out!!! We got some new icons to play with!! LOL!

Whew it's been a long morning already and its only 7. I have ironed Ty's clothes, dressing up for football friday, chased my dog allover the neighborhood, trying to get on this darn loaner computer. Our Vaio crashed awhile back so we have been using our oldie but goodie and Terry's friens id rebuilding the other one. This Gateway I am using didn't have a virus protector on it. I tried to download one, AARGH. Hopefully I will have my Vaio back today. Good luck to Sherri and Tiffany today on their surgeries.Well wishes and speedy recovery, we will def. be having you in our thoughts and prayers. Have a great friday everyone:)
