Oh Sandy! How hard that must be for you. Hang in there and if you need anything give me a call.

Sandy I am so sorry hun I am Thinking of you. Its hard when you all ready have so much to cope with. I lost my mum 16 years ago she was only 42. So I'm sending the biggist Hugs and well wishes for you and yours.

TKTC I hope your son feels better soon sending you both huggss

Well have been and done food shop Its getting cooler now and raining lots to. I have speech therapist coming tomorrow she is trying to help with my swallowing problems and throat tightness but have to be carefull not to trigger TN. I am just relaxing now so thats nice. I have just bought a black cherry hair colour look nice will see what hairdresser says. Hope you all feel relativly pain free and happy huggss all round xxxxxxxxxx

I have MS tremors, too. I notice them at night more than I do during the day. Last night I woke myself up jerking my left arm! I was almost asleep and then wham....my arm jerks up and I nearly scared myself out of the bed!

During the day I notice them but they're more controlled. I know it's happening but I don't think anyone else can tell. If they can they haven't said anything. Thank goodness I don't have the jerky kind during the day. I'd be dangerous in the produce department of the grocery store!

Sandy -- I am so sorry. You have been through a lot with your mother. I am still praying that they can figure out what is going on and help her. Hope you and Jim also feel better soon.

We now have about 300 students that have been dx with H1N1. However, there is also some type of head cold going around, strep, and mono. I heard that 25 % of the students are sick. I am not sure is that stat is accurate. I do know that many were sniffling, sneezing, and coughing in class today. But they all told me they did not have a temperature

Jenn -- I have also been worrying a bit about you. Remember, they say that rejection is good for the soul. I can just see you rolling your eyes at that. I have always wondered who the heck "they" were that said such a dumb thing. Hope you start feeling better soon.

Sarah -- You are supposed to be on vacation!

Have you noticed that everyone has been coloring their hair lately? I have gotten used to mine although it is shorter than it has ever been before.

lol Barb, vacation with hubby out of town with five kids!! but I am soo enjoying just being around HOME!

I did not color my hair, as I love when the hair place washes my hair.. so did not want to color then wash lol... might color tomorrow or something... I go sooo gray on the sides before I ever think of it... and I just pick a color close to my color... just to cover grays!

sunny out, so instead of hair, I took Maddie on a walk to the store, and bought stuff for lasagne. Going to cook that tomorrow for the kids and I, surprise and cook once lol

rest of day is the haircuts, then the older kids raking, then me checking on that... then I bowl tonight at 630pm. My mom invited me to bring the kids to her house for Chili... not sure if we are gonna sneak that in...

funny body is used to working on feet 8 hours, but just hanging and cleaning my room and showering has wiped me out.. I feel like sleeping again... maybe coming down with something... or maybe just wiped out!!

hugsss and more hugss, sarah

Good evening, all...
Sandy, I'm so sorry to hear that your mom isn't improving. Hoping and praying that the docs can figure out what's going on...
in the meantime, you and Jim take care of one another...rest and liquids...and lots of prayers for all of you

Sox, I think it is a northeastern thing...never heard of them. But they sound devine!!

Took FIL to the neuro for a parkinson's checkup today. He's doing fine. Son of a gun is healthier than me..

Slept for about an hour after breakfast this morning...DH urged me to go in and work out even though I am so tired. I tried to work out on an elliptical trainer, but could only do 4 min. Then I hopped on a stationary bike and did 17 min before I wore out. Stupid body

Got to get my wish list made, since the kids, DH and I are celebrating Xmas at Thanksgiving this year.

Well, time to get dinner fixed...have a wonderful Tues. evening...

LMAO!!! I do this too but mostly with my legs. Many times I don't fully wake up but in the morning based on how my legs/body feels and the way my bed looks I know what went on at night. Even worse, I sleep on my stomach so all that jerking and snapping of my legs from the hips and knees makes my back hurt. (I hope I explained that well.)

hey all,

Sandy still praying for mom and You(this must be so hard to be so far away.)

tktc...This flu stinks...now my dh has it and he is the worst patient of
all!!!! Both of my parents have it too. I pray I dont get it as I am
so run down from taking care of everyone. Just my youngest and I
have escaped it. I hope your boy is feeling better soon.

Everyone else...love you lots

Sandy, still praying.

Everyone,

~~~~

Need to dye out the roots again, and now I'm a little scared with all the strange dye stuff going on - LOL! Ah well, could prove interesting.

At least the essential tremors are only in my hand this time, and they aren't bad as last time. So far, can still hold a fork steady. Last time was the whole right side including leg, neck, etc. Was not a fun time.

I get the nighttime jerks this time of year. For some reason only seems to come out when it gets cold. So totally understand where some of you guys are coming from.

Take care everyone!

hey Jenn ...

I confess - my 6-wk color was up this last week ... and I'm a golden/blonde again!! all the dark roots are gone (for another 6 weeks!)

all went fine!!
