I have my passport and plane ticket.  I have to get some light shopping done.  I still have not gotten the schedule together for the girls yet but I will before I go to bed tonight.  My daughter will be 8 on Sunday and I have to get my hair braided so I have to figure out how next weekend is going to go.  I may just have a little pool party here at the house for her since we've already had a big 4th of July party and gone to Hilton Head Island..how much more could she want?  What else yall?  The house is clean, travel is confirmed...I know its some other stuff, yall better help me out...LOL

I counted the day of pre-op as a day but its not...I'm so excited, I dont know what to do with myself...I have a test in my abnormal psychology class that i can't even start because OH has me so comsumed right now.  My goal is to become a psychiatrist so that I can help people who suffer from Obesity...this is my mission in life..I only have about a year and a half to finish my undergrad degree, and then on to medical school.  I believe this change in my life will be just the boost I needed to accomplish the goals I have set for myself...Yay, Chana! 

I got home yesterday and my 16 year old daughter had my bedroom cleaned..She cleaned the kitchen the formal living room, did laundry (washed, dried, folded and put away) and swept and polished the stairs...WOW.  I thought I was going to have to hire someone to clean the house prior to me leaving for Mexico but I have Amber...I'm so glad we got that out of the way now all I have to do is solidify care for my children while I'm gone...I'm just about there.  I have a little shopping to do before my trip, since I'm having an open I have to find clothes that are going to be comfortable around my stomach so I will get some sun dresses, that should be all I need.  I have plenty of flip flops, I'm packing very light...I'm so excited!

I posted on the California Board and Main Board but unfortunately I have not found anyone yet, it's ok because I am assured by my faith that everything will be fine.  I talked to a guy that had his surgery in March and he gave me much assurance that everything will go better that I am expecting...So, if someone goes with me, it will only be added.

Thank you for the much needed support throughout my journey!  I have 13 days til pre-op!  I have so many things to do at the house and arrangements for the kids, this is the "vacation" I've been waiting for.  I have a surrogate family in San Diego waiting for me, what else can a girl ask for?

Cheers for my mom.  She finally let go today.  She had a dream last night that one of her friends out in San Diego was with me for my surgery.  She said she's finally ok with my hard-headed butt.She called her friend in the dream who told her that he and his family will take good care of me while I'm out there and not to worry about me... I will be fine, I'm going off to Mexico for the most life chaning decision of my life.  Tonight was the first night my mom listened to be submissively and not defensively....Whoo Hooo.  Thanks for all you angels  who have prayed for me and this situation.  I really love you all....

I know I'm not the only one who couldn't wait until their surgery date.  I will be flying out of Atlanta on the 30th, (14 days) and I'm just overwhelmed....I'm so excited, I just can't hide it...I'm about to loose control and I think I like it...

This is funny!  I had some lady ask me why I was going to Mexico to have surgery.  Mind you, she doesnt know me from a can of beans.  She said, didnt you hear on the news where they found all those people with their heads cut off! She said the mexican drug cartel is chopping people's heads off...Last night, I had this sick feeling that I am being set up by the mexican drug cartel to kill me or sell me into sex slavery so that would be my reason not to go have surgery...Isn't that funny!  The mind is a terrible thing to waste...I'm good!  I talked to a guy today who had to go by himself and he told me that Dr Aguirre and his staff is wonderful...

I'm so excited, I just cant hide it. I'm about to loose control and I think I like it!

I received my passport today and I am solidifying my flight arrangements tomorrow....God has seen me to WLS and I know He will see me thru WLS...My 7 year old said to me tonight, I can tell you are so excited...I am!  Thanks to my angel Paula!  She's gonna make sure she keeps everybody updated....Shay and Angie, yall are my angels too!

 My mom called me this morning to ask me not to "act like" I was mad at her today...Conviction is a bad thing.  I have not been "acting like" I was mad at anyone.  Needless to say, today is a good day...

Today after a long talk with my husband we are both ok with the idea of me going to Mexico by myself.  We both understand God's word (b portion) Hebrews 13:5 where it says that he will never leave thee nor forsake thee.  I'm fine!  I'm excited!  I will have no more bad days as a result of how someone tried to make me feel.  I will be selfish and put myself on the front burner.  I know that God's plan for my life and those I touch are being made manifest everyday...My new birthday July 31, 2009...Yipeeeee
