Hey Vonn......I was completely shocked when I got my approval letter in the mail. I was anticipating having to appeal and get an attorney and deal with the back pay issues. Looks like I won't have to. I have no idea what I did "right"....I think my doctors just submitted my medical records to the SSDI office and they must have been proof enough. I never thought I'd wish to be shown "disabled enough" to qualify for benefits!

I hope they get yours straightened out soon. I can imagine how frustrating it is to wait with no updates from them.

As for the debt diet......well, I guess it's going to be a toss up each month as to who doesn't get their money!! You can only make a little bit go so far.......

Well, today is my youngest son's birthday.....he's 21. Where did the time go??? How come I don't feel old enough to have a child this old? I should, my other son is 25!! Good grief!!

Anyway, I'm going to make homemade lasagna tonight. I have to get going so I can get to the store before it becomes too hot outside.

My menu will be lasagna, garlic bread, chopped salad and fruit sorbet. I'm going to make the lasagna from scratch so I have to get some good Italian Sausage and ground round. I haven't made tomato sauce in so long....I have my Mom's old recipe so it should be good.

I'm excited! Gotta go take a shower so I can get to the store and back before the heat gets to me. I feel like a vampire - only going out before the sun comes up or after it sets!!

Hey Kelly........Im making homemade lasagna for dinner tonight also.

My dh and youngest to are going to the lake for the weekend to see
my mil and my two oldest are going camping with their uncle. So Im
sending them off with a "moms homecooked meal", so they dont
forget me. So this means this mom is ALONE for the weekend.

Sandy.....I am so mad for Jim

Renee....YOu are stronger than I.....

and a good morning to everyone else.

Mornin' all. I think I am really up and that this isn't my ghost typing away here. I am attempting to get an earlier start on some things even if that is just a to do list. Need to make a list so I stay more focused.

Things continue to go "well" with DD's missions trip. That was the only bit of news DH could get at church last night. She arrives home tomorrow night and I can hardly wait.

Nice to see some new faces around this thread. Welcome, welcome. Don't attempt to get caught up just jump right in.

Well I'm off to make a list and decide what is on today's agenda. Hugs all around and stay cool.

Howdy Hi and Good Morning! Not tired today, but oh so sore! Woke up somewhere around 2:30am due to spasms and the hug. Took some meds and went back to bed. Slept until 7:30, when once again - My back woke me up. Surprisingly, I'm wide awake right now. Coffee did it's job today.

Checked our weather station here both times. Humidity is at 80%!!! It's a "maybe" rain today. I'm hoping so, we need this humidity to drop. Ok, I need this humidity to drop, LOL.

Waiting to see how I feel in a little while to see what I do today. Hope everyone has a good one.

~~~~~~~~

Weave, I can believe how excited you must be for DD to come home. I bet she'll have a lot of great stories for you about her visit.

Kitty, mmm. Homemade lasgnana. Now that's something I haven't made in awhile. I bet your son will love it. Hope he has a very nice b-day.

soxmom, fire up the chick flicks and the fuzzy bunny slippers. Sometimes it's not fun to be alone, but sometimes it's nice to get a chance to relax.

mornin' everyone ... can't believe how early I wake up ... 6AM ... and it's not even on purpose!! LOL

have to work on my 'list' too, Weave ... to stay focused and get the 'accomplished' feeling ... otherwise, I don't feel I've done anything!!!

into the 80s here and HIGH humidity ... so, going to make it a simple list ...

will post more later ..

thanks, Kelly about the info ... Weave, I've been applying ... each day is different .. there are days I feel super-duper ... but, there are more ucky days than good days ... not that they are bad, just okay without stress . ... does that make sense??

**** this is the quote for the day::

Friendship improves happiness, and abates misery, by doubling our
joys, and dividing our grief.

Thanks, vonn. I like this quote.
