OK, here's the test . . .Let me see if I can remember what I just read. LOL NOT!

Sandy - Glad to hear your mom is doing better today.

Kay - Don't really love the hug and I wish it didn't love me so much it remains constant. LOL

Weave - Kay gave some great advice, let it slide. It is not worth getting stressed over what he will or won't do. Just go along your merry way.:hug:

Moi - Thanks! That was really sweet.

Update: Got back from neuro and much to my surprise and relief, no changes on my brain MRI in the past 2 YEARS!!!! Yahoooooo! However, symptoms are still there and a so annoying. LOL They are going to have me try some Valium at night as I was so sensitive to the baclofen. So, I left with a prescription of Valium and some advice for the night time spasms.

BTW - I have to learn to pace myself and slow down.:confused: I think if I slow down anymore I will become a couch potato. LOL Pacing I can do when I hurt. I pace around the house. Pacing my tasks is a whole different story. I am one of those that likes to keep going until the job is complete. I don't like to leave loose ends.:o

Trish, I hear ya. Pacing myself is still something I'm learning to do. Glad to hear the MRI is stable. :hug:

Yay Tricia............:hug::hug:

Ive just got a second alone here. i am still on that murphys law road.:(

My little one has a high fever......

my ds16 today was hit in the chest with
a very hard thrown medicine ball, had it xrayed cuz they thought he broke
his sternum. thankfully, not but just breathing hurts.:(

I took my ds19 to the ortho today...he will be needing his seventh knee
operation at the end of the school season as the doc said his knee was
like a block of wood.:( d@&& mrsa!!!)

My dd10 is very mad at me because I am supposed to bring in the
chocolate fountain for the 4th grade....I doubt this will happen so...:o

Ive got so much to do Im spinning................I think a shot of bourbon
would be great now but what if I have to drive????:eek::o

My dh has a dinner out for mgt, I was supposed to be there....oh well,
this is probably more fun!!lollollol:D

thanks for letting me vent because I do feel better!!!!:)

Go forth and spread your magic people!!!!!:hug:

(((Sox))) At least you can say your day was adventurous. LOL I hope everyone at your house starts feeling better. Saying some prayers for all of you.:hug::hug::hug:

Fin - I am not sure I will ever learn to pace myself. I just have a tough time with that. Guess we'll have to learn together.:hug::grouphug:

Wiz, are you coming to my house over the river and through the woods too? :D

here is a link for all you with children .... grandchildren .... nieces and nephews ... anyone with little ones at heart ....

Hi all! Obviously, I have not managed to stay off of the computer completely. :) LOL! Dial up service is trying to teach me patience. I have read most of the posts, but it takes forever for the thanks to load so I am giving up. I spent the morning playing with my great niece. Olivia is one. I can't believe I am a great aunt

Tricia -- that was great news about your MRI.

Just finished cooking...Dh's truck radiator went on the frizt so I had to go pick him up...yeah, I'm a lil angry with him...I told him last week to have it checked...now we have a 100 dollars for towing. Insurance will cover it, but I just want to hit him. I just might!

Sugar has gone home with her mommie so I can settle down from that worry. She is doing fine though, showed my sis how to change the bandage so she can't excape the slpint...no progress on the police report, however.

Soo...I think I will watch Wall-E again...my GS and I watched it today...he thought it was soooo funny...yeah, I got him one from Santa.lol

Wow..

then at about 415 I took Maddie up with me to bed for a nap, a NAP sureeee, I woke at like 835!!! I woke like, is it morning, what day is it kind of wake up!!

I must needed sleep, bad part, still feel sleepy, but Maddie now had too too much of a nap. I teased the others why not get her, but my Mikayla 13, is sick, tummy hurts, head hurts and now a light fever!!

But as she did I looked over at the counter top...and there is my tree RED lights shining, near it is also a lit up jar with pouperrie...neat gift from years ago. It is a green glass like maybe canning jar, with lid that can close...in it is pouperrie and mixed in a set of holiday lights...so you open it and plug in. Makes a cool decoration and scents the room up.. I have had it for years, and still the scent gets going!

"Knock knock knocking on Sandy's door"

Mornin' (yawn). Glad to see all of you are snuggled in bed...'cause I'm not! Been awake since 4 am...so much to do...and I know that no one would notice if the picture framees weren't dusted...but I'd know...
going in to get a one day IVSM...so stiff...NP said I could go in earlier than Jan. if I felt I needed it. I hope it will loosen me up for the holidays, because the stretching exercises aren't doing it...
looks like the weather here in the midwest might delay the kids' travels...pray that they get here safely.

Have a safe and happy holiday!

Kelly I have two dogs! Only one is a St Bernard the other one is a rat terrier!

a http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/fc/rose.gif for all the ladies

Coffee in hand, sitting on the couch, wondering why I woke up so early.

DebbieD - I hope you can loosen up for the holidays. :hug:

Hope all of you in the snow zone are staying warm and that all this snow you are getting doesn't mess up your holiday plans.:hug:

I guess I can't complain about our weather, huh? LOL I don't even know what it is supposed to be today, just rainy as I can hear the rain.

I hope you all have a good day! :hug:

Ok, Frank, what do you want? Or better yet, what did you DO to give us all flowers? LOL

:hug::hug: for all those with sick little ones. Hope they feel better soon.

Sipping my morning cup of coffee and trying to wake up enough to go get my car out of the shop. :)

Family made it in ok, and they are resting in their hotel rooms. Apparently they hit some very bad lake effect on their way here, so got here later than they were planning.

Which is ok. Gave my hubby time to make a ton of pitzels. He even cut the recipe in half, and there's still a mountain of them. :eek:

On the plus side, they go great with coffee. :D

:grouphug::grouphug: Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday.

just a nice flower I found and was my bday gift to all of you, a thank you from me to all of you for all the support and caring

Awww. Thank you Frank. :hug::hug: Happy B-day, my friend. :Birthday:

That was very sweet of you, Frank! Thank you. (Kind of figured that was what it was for. Actually, every year on my birthday I bring my parents some flowers as a gift for giving me life and being such great parents and shaping me in to the person that I am.)

Good Morning everyone! I have just had a quiet morning with my mom. Now I getting ready to go meet my older sister for lunch and have a "few" things to pick up at the grocery store for my mother. The list keeps getting longer and longer.

Read all of your posts. Have a good day. Sandy, build a snowman for me:)!

Good morning everybody! :) I hope to update later!

Happy Birthday Frank! :hug:

http://dl9.glitter-graphics.net/pub/...j91hopr5wa.gif

up to my ears here..........:) but wanted to say Happy Day to our dear
Frank!!!!:hug::hug:s for the birthday boy!!!!

Morning all! Happy Birthday Frank! No work today you hear me? It's your day, make everyone slave over you! :hug:

Kay, I loved your White Christmas rendition! :hug:

My plan today is to bake and make all my goodies for tomorrow. While the boys run to get the catering food in Oswego I'll snow plow and surprise them. Yea, I know, but they have been putting up with my craziness the past couple of days so they deserve it. I woke them up this morning fussing about how the recycling was in a mess and to help me get the garbage and stuff out in the snow storm.

Yep, a snow storm. Nice and it looks like it may break up soon so the roads will be fine. But later here comes sleet and later rain. Whoopieee!

Stay warm and safe today everyone. Barb, come here. You need a snow ball thrown at you! lol Make a snowman, shoot I can make a whole clan! lol

Got my car back. :) :Dancing-Chilli: Just waiting for my family to invade right now.

Hubby had a client lunch to go to, so this is gonna be fun until he gets back. :)

~~~~~~~

Sandy, LOL! I deserve a snowball too. It's been cold, but too far from the lakes to get any snow --- Yet. ;)

Barb, Glad you're having fun with the family. :)

Joke of the day
 

Happy Birthday Frank...hope today is the bestest special your day ever.

i am taking it easy, already shovel the drive once and thats it for me, ran to store got some smokes, the wipers go across clear it and by time they come down the window is covered again, you could say its snowing here:Doh:

Soxie I hope things get better

thank you all

Fin enjoy the family and having a car again

SANTA UPDATE

well, just got word that he's making a second check on his list - and you all are still on the good list!!

btw - requests have been made to make extra cut-out cookies WITH frosting and sprinkles, fudge of all kinds ... and don't forget the milk ...

with all the extra niceness this year ... he may start out early!!

This is hysterical! LOL

I can't see the the joke.:confused:

Yikes...still snowing. O'Hare airport has a delay of 3 1/2 hours. My son and DIL's flight was supposed to get in at 8:30 pm...:eek:
and my DD 24 is going to drive down from central Wis. to the Milwaukee area, where they're expecting a ton of snow...
who ordered this white Christmas?:mad:

Just got back from my IVSM...hope it clears the stiffness, bladder probs. I forgot about the yucky taste in my mouth...does this mean that Christmas dinner's going to be ruined for me, even if on only one IV?:(

Well, everybody in the midwest, make the most of it, and enjoy yourselves!! go out and have a snowball fight...or just pretend...I actually never really liked playing out in the snow. It's better watching others from inside a toasty warm house...

I just got off the phone with UPS and they had rescheduled my package. I told them get it here tonight. lol Turns out it was on the truck but they don't know why it said rescheduled. I know, the driver wants to get home. lol This candle situation is getting nasty. That Ebay package? Never came and I aggreed to let her give me half off. In the meantime, I ordered overnight candles from Bath and Body. Oh you know I was about to flip a switch when I saw rescheduled. What does a person do tell their guest "Oh btw, your gift is in the mail" lol" Anyway, all is well.

I am in the middle of finishing up my lime jello, cake in the oven, pumpkin crisp done. I need to finish the jello when it sets, make my dip, and give Jim a bath. Whew!

Deb, hope the kids make it home safely. :hug:

Trish, I don't know why my pic keeps going away. I deleted all my images and it still does it. Let me try one more time.
