Saturday! What's NEW with YOU?
mornin all! my g key is not always working so if it's missin, i'm not just lazy!
a few folks have been tryin to get my attn on fb-i haven;t been on there either this week- i cannot access fb from home and haven't had much time if any to get online for pleasure at home-
i am OK
thx for bein concerned-
school is kickin my ass and i have two weeks left for the qtr-next qtr i am takin more classes so i am concerned at HOW i will manage- i tend to think that this ass kickin is in part from a lot of other stresses and challenges at home and work.....the issues at work have, thank God, been resolved -there was an extreme pressure for awhile-
home is confusin in the head and the heart-much of it deals with my mom and my new found independence...my entire livin situation.....and some thins i choose NOT to talk about online for many reasons-not whinin just sayin
btw i have NO CLUE who the rant was aimed at but it is certainly ok in my book to rant away here---just so it doesn't get nasty as some folk have been known to do in past! hopin it had nothin to do with me- i have simply been MIA......
im shyin away from the phone still and i sometimes find that i have had one glass of wine too many...workin through these thins.....
it's tuff when ya want it all! brat should be my middle name!!!!!oh wait-it IS!!!!!!
anyhow-
woke up to more snow this mornin-yesterday's ice truly was horrid for our area tho i was not effected by it--was safely at work when it started..
well- stopped in for a second after a message from carla and janet- and susan and and and
love all y'all
so great to see bev's face!!!!!!!!
hugs and prayers

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

So good to see you back. I've watched here and on FB, and was wondering. I knew you had had car issues, and school stuff, and family matters. I figured that life was getting in the way. So glad to see you post again. Hope everything settles down for you.
By the way, I sort of like the missing "G". Seems to add a bit of a southern angle to your writin'.....
Don't stay away for so long next time. We miss you.

Oh so good to hear from you....you have been MISSED. You sound so busy....that is good. School sounds challenging, but I have faith in you. Please don't stay away so long in the future. We care. Happy days, Monica

Good Morning Debbie and all,
I tried to post a couple of days ago and when I tried to post it, it disappeared! I keep telling myself to write it in Word first then copy and paste so this doesn't happen but just like now, I don't.
We have gotten some bad news this week and some positive news which now in light of the bad news may not be so positive.
My parents held a family meeting on Thursday, me, my sis and our husbands, and told us that my mom has been diagnosed with kidney cancer, and that she also has a high probability of having pancreatic cancer. I don't know how to feel at this point as there are still so many questions and no one knows anything yet but what I've posted. She will see a kidney guy Monday and is trying to get an appointment with an oncologist and an oncology surgeon. I do know that if it's in her pancreas it isn't good and isn't good even if it's just in her kidney. She is not in very good health to begin with,
So our good news of having an on site interview back East for a professorship for Tom at a small private college, and both of us flying out there for 4 days at the end of March is good news but has me worried in light of moms diagnosis. Not too keen on moving from my parents, my dtr and my sister, not to mention a job I love, a church we are so happy we found and friends, anyway, but now it makes it even more complicated and hard. Tom has to get a job and so far nothing around here has panned out.
I am sending out good thoughts and prayers to all of you fighting illnesses, and stresses at home, or at work and those of you struggling with the old weight monster. I am saddened that Janet is not here now and hope she just takes a break and comes back. Bev, I continue to think of you every day and send my positive thoughts and prayers your way. Monica, you are an inspiration and I am so happy your hubby is feeling better. I have had battles with the medical gods myself so I can relate to what you guys were going through. Laureen, I love your posts and look forward to them. Karen, I loves ya. Carolyn and Nancy you guys make me tired and ashamed of my lazy self. You too Jo. Debbie G. hubby and I may be doing something you did, leaving the familiar and going on a new adventure, so you are another inspiration to me. I don't mean to leave anyone out but I'm doing this by memory. Judy, hope you're mom is better. I hope Margo is doing well.
Gonna go take a little morning nap, do our Saturday Starbucks then go get groceries.
Thanks for listening,
Cheryl
P.S. Just saw Margo's post after I posted this. Hey, Margo, good to see you!

Cheryl, sorry to hear about your mom. I faced a similar dilemma when I moved to Montana. I knew my dad wasn't well when I took the job out in Montana in 1984 (he was on dialysis at that point), but I also knew I wasn't going anywhere in my present job and I wasn't happy there. My dad knew it, too, and told me I had to follow my heart and do what was best for me, not what was best for him. So I took the job in Montana, 1,500 miles from home, and really, it was the best move I ever made. A month after I moved, he was diagnosed with terminal colon cancer ... he died a month after that. I got home in time to say goodbye and for the funeral.
I never regretted making that move. I always thanked my dad for helping me make that decision. He gave me the strength to move on ... he still does. He made me independent and strong.

So sorry to hear about your mom Cheryl. I have always believed that God never gives us more than we can handle...if we turn to to Him in faith. I also believe that He puts me where I need to be when I need to be there. Your plate is full..but I'm confident you will get thru it with strength and confidence ;-) Keeping you and your family in my daily prayers!
