Oh Sarah, I do hope you can relax a little tonight. I do have those days where it seems everything is coming all at once. I just don't know how it will all get done and if I'll make it. But we do, because we make it happen. I think your plan is a good one. Give it a year and see how it goes. Hugs and more hugs.

Sarah, hang in there. Some days, everything just seems overwhelming. I am in awe of people like you who have kids, hold full time jobs, and have to deal with this dang disease. I just spent 10 days with my sister and 2 1/2 year old niece and I am exhausted.

Hi everyone! Wow a lot has happened with everyone in 1 day! OMG! I will do my best . . .

Kay - Thanks for the great advice. I will make it there some day and snorkel to my hearts content. But, with your advise I will wear a wet suit.

Frank - Yup! That would be me and kitty. This kitty instinctively knows who is in charge in this house. lol.

Renee - Hang in there. Many of us have been in a similar position. You do what is right for you and your family. Still keeping you in my daily prayers.

Vonn- That is outstanding!!!! I am so happy for you and glad that everything is starting to come together for you. Good luck on your finals.

Barb - I hope you had a good day. I know that you must miss your sister and niece while at the same time enjoying the peace and quite.

Sandy - What is mj? lol Glad Jim's appointment went so well. You both must be thrilled and certainly deserved the shopping spree.

FranksAngel - What the heck is up with you two? LOL That is funny. I admire your sense of humor too. Me, I am more of a Weeble. I wobble but don't (always) fall down. I've had my spills though. You two be careful.

Fin - I know you posted somewhere in there. I too am glad that Jr won. It was his turn. He is a good driver and I have a lot of respect for him as a person as well.

Holly - No need for tears. Just rest up as there will be plenty of activities throughout the summer and then it's soccer season. LOL.

And, finally, Barb, Sandy, & Jmiller - Yes, San Diego would be a great place especially for us MSers. The weather is great and you have the ocean close by to boot. However, the cost is high. Still looking for that perfect place myself. NM is looking better all the time.

Oh, if I missed anyone else, I'm sorry. You are important too and your posts are important as well.

Sandy, Enjoyed the pictures! Do you ever go to bed?

Kelly, What time do you get up?

Got up fairly early for me for the summer (6:30) and now I am heading out to our local farmer's market. There may not be much there this early in the season, but I thought I would take a look.

Thanks. I will try not to cry. I haven't talked to the doc - I'm not good about that. I try not to ever call the doc. I've got to find a way to get some rest, though. Hopefully that will help me.

Grandma is doing OK for the most part, but I am really scared by the days when she is more confused. Yesterday was not a good day for her and it upset me.

No soccer for us. In my family fall is the time for football for 11 year old boy and fall baseball for 8 year old boy! I am going to try to rest up.

I, too, have been looking for a perfect place to live. I think that 80 degrees with low humidity year round would suit me fine. A beach is a must, too. As long as I'm dreaming, I'm going all out. TK - I will snorkel with you in Belize!

You all were too busy posting yesterday for me to keep up! I can't remember much of what I just read. I feel badly just posting about me, but I'm too tired to go back through the 2 pages of posts right now!

I did want to say something to Renee, though. I just wanted to say that I support you and I'm pulling for you however it all works out. May God bless you and your family! I do not envy your situation, but know that you have support here.

Good morning everyone!

Holly - We'll make that snorkeling trip happen. I don't scuba dive though. Tried to get certified but I am too claustrophobic for that stuff on my face and scuba diving and Xanax won't mix well. LOL.

I hope your Grandma has a better day today. I know it must be hard on you but what you are doing for her is such a beautiful example of love.

Barb - Have fun at the farmer's market. We have one here every Thursday. It is now so hot that I am not sure I will be going tomorrow. I may send DD16 tomorrow.

Hi everyone else. Wishing you all a great day!

Hey all, thanks for looking at my pics. I do go to bed Barb, just last night I was wired. lol

I am off to get the ramp fixed on our van today. Jim will stay home and rest. Friday we are going to his new primary doc and then off to buy fireworks. haha

Have a great day everyone!
