Good Morning Everyone - I should be on the road by now but I am running late, story of my life!

Ended up in the ER last night with DD #2, yesterday was a scrimmage Soccer game and she got pushed down and we thought she broke her arm but just pulled some legiments. 5 hours in the ER and we saw 5 other Soccer players in there!!! I would think that would tell the Doctor's something..... Last year we were at the ER with her 2 or 3 times just for soccer!! Once for softball.... that kid is a target for heads, other girls and balls!!! :eek:

So I didn't get fully ready last night, I am tired today, right side of face is FULL of numbness to the point of pain, but I am still heading out but instead of a two day trip it will turn into a three so I don't cram myself to bad. I would rather relax and not push myself and spend the extra $$ for one more hotel room.....

I will check in at night with you all - hope all is well!! :hug:

wish me LOTS of sales, I need them to keep open one more month!!

Keeping fingers crossed for you Char! Well the ones on my left hand anyway, still can't use the right! I remember well all of the ER visits in my softball days LOL I don't envy you or DD!! Love to you, be careful on your trip!

Hugs to my Belizean sister, now wheres the baby pics? I swear you exhaust me just reading about your days girl! Yes u need to finish that shelter, I don't want any babies floatin away!

Tricia-Ugh those EOM reports! Here's hope you get them done quickly and without banging your head against your desk! See you when you get finished!

Wiz- good to see you!

Yeahbut, safe travels. :hug: Sorry to hear about the DD and the ER. LOL, I remember having to be stitched up a few times when I played softball.

Wiz, No ribs left, sorry. I marinated them in BBQ sauce for 7 hours prior to roasting. Kept them from getting too dry, so hubby devoured them. :D

Kay, Agreed. The tropical storm season is wacky this year. :eek: Even though he doesn't do it anymore, my hubby used to be part of the tech group sent with the CAT teams from the insurance company he used to work for. Ever since then, I keep an eye on the activity.

Renee, sorry to hear the hand is still giving you issues. Hope it clears up soon. :hug:

Vonn, Congrats on the test!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good morning all. Feeling a little tired and run down today. Supposed to be hot, humid, and air quality alert time again. Definitely staying inside today. I can't wait until fall!!

Not sure what I'm going to do yet. Coffee hasn't kicked in at this time, LOL :D

:grouphug: Hope everyone has a good day.

Char, please be careful on your trip and don't push yourself too hard.

Weave, still prayin' for you. Just take it one day at a time. That's all anyone can do.

Trisha, I've missed you! I'm glad you're just busy with work.

Kay, you wear me out, girl! But I know you enjoy it and the animals appreciate you.

Renee, my right hand has been numb since October of last year. It's fun, isn't it?! I've learned how to do lots of things with my left hand! :eek:

Vonn, great job on the test!!

Fin, I think you and Frank need to have a cooking thread together!

Wiz, wanna come putter around in my yard?? :p It could use some attention!

Anyone I didn't mention...I'm sorry. It's actually pretty nice here today. Going to be in the low 80's and sunny. I'm thinking we're going to get slammed with rain this weekend because of Hannah. As long as my power doesn't go out I'm fine....crazy kat comes out when there's no A/C or lights!! :o

Ya'll have a great day! :)

Hey everyone! I got the bills situated last night and then watched tv with Jim. He got a little sick last night but he didn't eat as well as he should have. We were a little freaked but relaxed when he felt better. He ran a little temp too, just 99.2 so we're hoping the meds kick in. It's only day 3 so we'll give it till Friday. If he's not better looks like we'll be visiting the hospital. Please keep your fingers crossed for us too OK?

Today I am getting Jim up and then heading to buy some paint. It's that time of year to start painting my living room. Every since I went to all oak trim the cool colors don't look right. I am thinking khaki colors?

Char, have a safe trip. Sorry about your DD but I am thankful those days are over for us!

Renee, stay cool and dry! Hope your arm gets better.

Wiz, the next few days are going to great for working outside! Sorry about the service berry. I just had two put in my front yard and from the way you describe yours mine are the same. Do you have the bush or tree kind? I think mine are more the bush kind but the landscaper said I could cut them to resemble a tree if I wanted.

Weave, still praying for you sister.

Kitty, we're having great weather too! 70's!!!!!

Kay, you and hubby are very innovated aren't you? Hope the hurricane's pass you with little harm.

Frank, windows are open again!!!!! Yea babay!

I hope I didn't miss anyone! If I did you know who loves ya right?

Have a good one everyone! :grouphug:

Hi everyone! I am in my office typing this so don't tell. Okay? :D They actually do not care. We professors get away with alot.:rolleyes: I think it must be one of the best jobs on the earth. We get paid to learn! I guess you can tell that I had a good class this morning. I have also prepped for my classes tomorrow and Friday. I have a luncheon to attend for faculty at 12:00. It is free, but we have to listen to some rather boring speeches and them I have a class from 2:00 to 3:40. After that I have a department meeting at 4:00 (:(). Then I will be really tired. It is still hot here (90s), and I am having to use my cane, but the dizziness is not as bad as yesterday. I did not think about the weather causing this until I read another thread on the weather.

Char, I hope you have a good time on your trip and that it is successful.

Sandy, Are you going to paint your living room yourself or will you get your sons to help you? Hope the antibiotics work for Jim.

Jen and Frank -- The two of you are going to have to stop posting about what you are cooking. I had a turkey and swiss cheese sandwich for dinner last night with pickels. I need someone to cook for me (too tired after being at school) -- but not Sandy. LOL! I do not want cereal for dinner

Tricia, I have been missing your posts. Hope you catch up with your reports soon.

Kay, Hope you do not get too much rain. Is this year unusual or is the media just making it seem like it is worse than normal?

Frank -- I am glad the LDN seems to be helping. I am still considering it, but I would like my own doctors to prescribe it, if possible. I am such a big wuss about approaching my neuro about it. I have been putting it off until I have my appointment in November.

HeyJenn, Have you painted anything new recently?

Renee, I hope this week brings you better news regarding your job search.

Wiz -- It is great that you have been able to work in your yard. I know you really seem to enjoy it.

Hi Vonn and Weave! There I may have managed to say hey to all of you. :lookaround: If not I am sorry.:thud:

Hey Barb, I'll do it myself. It's therapy to me. Besides, they are back at NIU. lol

Hi Sandy! I thought they might help over the weekend.

Hey Sarah! I am sorry. I missed you. Hope you are doing ok.
