Tonight we went to Cracker Barrel to eat supper. Our paper and news has been letting us know what places were doing special things for Veterans Day and Cracker Barrel was not one listed. We tend to avoid them because they are very crowded. So when we get to the door they have a sign that they were offering free coca cola chocolate cake and ice cream to all veterans. So I tell the waitress Charlie would want that. She acted surprised. She said she had forgotten about that and she should have offering it to all her tables. So when it came time to ask for dessert I reminded her about the free dessert for him. So after a good long wait she brings this piece of white cake that looked like a typical sheet cake. Charlie told her that the offer was chocolate cake. She kind of looked at us like 'what do you want me to do about it?'. Finally she got the message that this was not what he wanted and to PLEASE get the other cake. We even showed her the picture that was on the table. So she goes back and tells us that that is what they gave her to serve. When a man thinks he is getting free chocolate cake, he wants chocolate cake, not dry sheet cake and no ice cream. So I convince her one more time that the offer is chocolate cake and that was the offer so go get it. Eventually she comes back and says that yeas they have the chocolate cake but there is a charge for it. I am surprised Charlie held is temper because by this time I was not. So we just got up and left to pay the bill. The cashier asked me if everything was fine and I told her what happened. She immediately calls for a manager who apologised for the waitress and got him a carry out container. It was a much bigger piece of cake, very moist and very good. Ice cream was awful. I hope he talked to our waitress.

Two more days till I'm a Grandma!!

DIL will have c-section on Friday and the twins will be here!! I am so excited.....feels like it did when I was a little girl on Christmas Eve!

Not sure yet what time she is scheduled for but she will find out today at her last doctor appointment. I know she is tired and ready for them to be here. She has been such a trooper through all this.

I think she deserves a medal because last time they estimated the babies weights they were both over 6 pounds! They might be closer to 7 pounds each by delivery.

Two little baby girls....what I've always wanted for Christmas!!

Morning everyone!! Brrr....

Kitty, hope DIL has a Happy Labor Day!! Wow, those are big twins!! Hope everything goes well and the babies are in your arms tomorrow all pink and with that wonderful smell...ahh...

DH and I still haven't signed the contract to get the remodel of the flood damage done!! It's been 3 months of living with holes in the walls and exposed joists, etc. We asked a plumber to come in yesterday to estimate how much adding a bathroom and switching the present bathroom around would cost. The remodel company wants oodles of cash just for the plumbing...

so our place probably won't be back to it's former self by the holidays...ugh. It smells dusty from all of the wallboard being torn out and the carpets are musty from the water damage. DH has been busy taking up the vinyl flooring planks in the basement. The underlayment got wet when the water poured into the basement and got full of mildew He rolled up the underlayment and washed off each plank. Now he's almost ready to relay the flooring. then once the plumbing is finished he can put up the new ceiling tiles and get the basement finished, at least.

Our cabin has been knocked down and footings for the new structure were poured last week. The foundation walls were supposed to be poured this week, but northern WI got up to a foot of snow, so that probably won't happen any time soon...

LOL crazy things are occurring in our lives right now...but all is good. The kids are all right, the grand babies are great, and we love one another. Who could ask for anything better?

Have a great day, everyone

Kitty congratulations. I just can't imagine what it feels like to be carrying that much baby weight.

Hi Everyone!

Kelly - I wish your DIL the best of luck tomorrow. How exciting for all of you. are you going to be at the hospital when the girls are born?

Barb - I hope things are going well for you. I've been keeping you in my prayers.

I've been lurking again. There's just been too much going on and I just haven't been taking the time to post. I think once DD23 has the baby things will settle down some. As you know, shes have a rough pregnancy. She had some trouble over the weekend and we didn't know if they were going to deliver the baby or what. We met with the NICU doctor and toured the area. It's just been crazy.

My neuro is now thinking I may not have MS. It took me 3 years to get diagnosed and I saw 2 MS specialists who definitely said I have MS and now... I was offically diagnosed in 2006. Iwas part of a study and took Copaxone for 4 years. I did ask him the last time I saw him what he thought I had since I have all these symptoms. He said we'll see what the MRI shows. My PCPs nurse suggested I get a 2nd opinion. I also have a ton of blood work to get done for the Rheumy but with all the craziness with DD23, I've put myself on hold. Funny the things we do for our kids. Anyhow, it's on my list to get done as the pain can get pretty bad sometimes, to the point where I can't use which ever joint decided to flare up.

We finally have nicer weather. It gets a bit warm in the afternoon but cools off quickly once the sun sets.

Have a great day Everyone!

Kelly, That is so exciting! I can't wait to hear their names.

Trish, I have had neuros say that I may not have MS. Then they look at my MRI's and say - you definitely have MS.

I had the thyroid biopsies on Tuesday. I did not have a whole lot of faith in the hospital. They told me to be there two hours before the procedure and to fast and not drink water. Well I only needed to be there an hour before and I did not need to fast. There were four people in the room while I was having the biopsies - the ultrasound tech, a nurse, the radiologist who did the biopsies, and a pathologist. It just hurt a bit and my throat is still a little tender. The pathologist said the doctor would get the results tomorrow so I am going to try calling in the afternoon to see if I can find out anything. but I may not hear anything until early next week. One of the nodule was mainly cystic which the radiologist was a good thing. The smaller one was solid. I hate waiting!!!

My mom left this morning for her flight back to Ohio. She was here for 17 days which was too long for both us. She is ready to be back in her own place and her own bed. It is actually cold here. The temperature right now is 39 and the wind chill is lower. I had to get out my winter clothes a few days ago. Of course it is 30 degrees below normal. That's what happens when I move south.

Barb - Again, keeping you in my prayers. Hoping for good results on the biopsies.

Kelly - I love those names. I remembered you mentioning them before but could only remember Emma. It will be so much fun to have little girls around. After having boys, I know you will enjoy them so, so much.
