whats new revue for Tuesday
Good morning off.
Chilly this am. I am not ready for this!! My toes freeze when I go out since I don't have the sense to put shoes on till it snows.
We got another youngster yesterday. I wasn't home and Steve can't say no to a child with hurting eyes. I can't either so can't get mad at him. I do believe I understand why we are supposed to be grandparents at 57 instead of parents! Two under 5 when they are so damaged is so hard. Ignore my whining I just didn't sleep last night with my new little one, she's a screamer so I walked the floor.
Have a shrink session for one today and have to meet social worker for my new baby to see what i can do for her.
I have to get up to see mom this weekend there no way Ill let another week go by, thank God my baby sitting angel likes to travel!!
Prayers going out for all of you who need them or just want them.
Have a great day everyone.

I'm praying for all in need today. Jacki, I hope your mother can find comfort knowing you and your sister are there for her. It sure is tough when our parents get to this point in their lives. I'm sure they don't like it either.
Deb had a good point that we just sit for 10 minutes and reflect or pray. It's good for the soul.
Today I'm meeting Jody from the Michigan board for lunch. She's another WLS person that lives up here in Northern Michigan. After lunch I've got to go to Walmart, Borders and Staples. When I get home I'll take the dogs for a 2 mile walk and then home to change beds and vacuum and dust. My girlfriend is coming up Wednesday night to babysit for my dogs while I go down state to travel to Chicago with DH, DS, DIL. Then a doctor appt on the 21st with my surgeon for my 3 month check up. I'm curious what my labs will show. Hopefully I'm doing ok.
Well, off to the shower.
I'm sure I'll check in later. This is my transfer addiction...checking OH.

Good Morning Jacki & Friends!
Seems like we all have some things going on today that are not necessarily fun things, and when I am in that place, I try to focus on the fact that post-WLS has given me the ability to move more freely and therefore I can be ready to pitch in when and where needed. . .
Jacki, I read your posts yesterday and today and it brought back all the experiences I had with my Mom 8 years ago and what I know is no matter how old they are, they are still our Mom's and when they are gone, we miss them, today marks 8 years since mine passed and at 65 (one month shy of her 66th birthday) she was just too young to go, but that is a long story and I don't want to make this a down post, just a I know how hard it is to have to make the hospital/doctor runs and want them to be comfortable/well taken care of and so forth. . . there are many prayers being said by us here and mine are among them.
My day today appears to be a quiet one, so I will have time to finish my catch up work and possibly get some personal things accomplished as well ;) One of the things I need to get done this week is my two year bloodwork, so I need to do some research into a lab that is close to my job, so I can get there before work, hate fasting bloodwork, cause I wake up and crave my coffee, oh well. . .
So last night I went to an AA meeting and found out that they some members of that group are going to be starting a bowling league next week, I am thrilled and excited as I used to love bowling, now mind you, I can bowl a 186 or a 66, so it's something I enjoy the socialibility part of and the rest is me trying to get better and more consistent, but it has been a long time since I've done it, it will be a fun time I am sure and it's $15 a week for 13 weeks, I think I can manage that.
Anyway, better get to the business at hand. . .
Hope you all have wonderful days, in spite of whatever life situations are going on!
Hugs, Laureen

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Good morning Jacki and everyone....
Jacki....I too cared for my mother so I do understand all you are going through. My mother has been gone for several years but there isn't a day I don't miss her!! I am keeping you and your mom in my thoughts and prayers.
I am not doing so great today either. As you know my grandson Nic has Cancer and has for 13 years now. I have gotten to know so many other children on the Caring Bridge site. As of this morning anorther precious little girl earned her wings.She just turned 11 on Saturday. Her wish was that she didn't go to heaven until she was 11...she hung on through terrific pain but she made it and is now in Heaven at 11! This is the 6th child that I know that has died from this awful Cancer Monster in the last MONTH...it is all just so heartbreaking. So many little ones dying....so many hearbreaking stories....I don't understand this. It makes me so sad....and why wouldn't it. Please pray for a cure for Childhood Cancer!!
I have to go back to the doctor today. I had blood in my urine last week and they want to recheck it. I don't have any infection or pain or anything. I wonder what that could be?
I best get back to work. I am having a hard time concentrating right now so it won't be easy.
Prayers to those in need...there are so many needing them right now. I especially pray that we hear something about Linda S soon!!!!
Love and gentle hugs to all....connie d

Oh Connie, my heart goes out to the family of the young lady. I too question why the young & innocent have to go through this. I know than when my sister died of cancer she told the doctors she wasn't ready. They gave her 6 mos & she lived 4 years. The other sister only made it a year. They both had inflamitory(sp) cancer. I still wonder why I have made it almost 9 years. Ladies, they keep talking about this new cancer, it's not new!!!! My sister died in 1986 at the age of 39.
I will get off my soap box now. Connie, Nic is always in my thoughts & prayers.
