Best/Worse/What did I learn today-visit with friends!!

Morning everyone! Susan, sorry to hear about Bob! Can he appeal the decision, or do you have unemployment up in Canada he can draw? Sending lots of prayers your way, that he can find a better job soon!
Betty, did you start your seeds in a sunny place? That may help them start a bit quicker?

Susan, so very sorry to hear about your DH's job. Not needed in this economy ...and a scary situation. Will send prayers for work.

Betty, I will find out today, after 3:00 what time I need to be at the hospital tomorrow. Praying it is early or I will have myself frantic.

Shane made it home from Boston last night and is exhausted. But full of stories, they all had a good time. He had hard time getting up this morning.

I have been running already this morning, had to take the kitten to the Vet for his "Snip" and this afternoon I have some errands to take care of and get out of the way.

Still raining here....very windy also!

Stay dry....have a good day
Debbie

Morning Everyone!!!! I'll be back later, may be tomorrow, I'm all behind on my work here at work and I have to leave at 1:15 to go pick up Dave's dad from the airport and take him home. My dad's girlfriend is having problems with my dad again, or still, or whatever, and she wants to tell me about all the wrong he's doing, he's my dad for Pete's sake, he's been like this his whole life, and I don't know what she wants me to do about it, I've got too much drama and it's making me very cranky and I just can't handle it right now, she's either going to have to suck it up and live with it like my mom did for so many years or leave, telling his only child about it isn't going to help her.

Oh boy, just what you need Crissy, listening to girlfriends woe's..had Dave's dad already planned on visiting before Dave's mom passed away? Keep smilling girl!!! oh, don't return girlfriends call...

Hoping that your appt. is early morning Debbie so you don't have long to content with the jitters....is Paul driving you in and waiting for you or is it one of the girls??? DO NOT tell me you are driving yourself!!!
Glad Shane enjoyed his time away..what memories he will have..so much fun listening to the kids go on about their trips.

Just had changes in my plans..SIL Linda decided we should take her car seeing it's only got 40,000 kl.-only 2 door but that's ok, we're spry enough to work ourselves out of the back seat!

Would like to thank you for your prayers for Mike.

He just lost his battle with cancer after such a long time...

Ann appreciates all the prayers you've said on their behalf!!!!!

Will be seeing her this afternoon and will give her a hug from all

Betty, why don't you all pitch in and rent a nice size car, so you don't put miles on yours.

Thanks for the news Betty. My heart is heavy for Ann, as we all know she will miss him, but have to say he is not suffering anymore! Make sure that hug, is an extra long on for us!

Will do Lindakay..

Actually Linda's car is not bad, just 2 door so with her having low mileage we'll take hers..that's settled..

My tears flow as I send my gentle hugs and most sincere symapthies to Ann and the girls. I'm so sorry for their loss but grateful that Mike is now with the Lord. He fought the good fight right to the end. May God bless him and hold him close... Praying for strength for Ann and their family.

Please send my Condolences and Hugs to Ann and the girls..............

Betty, Please extend an Arm wrap and sincere condolences. May Mike, now rest with the Lord.
Will also Pray for continued strength for Ann and the girls.

Just got back from getting tire fixed! Was pretty reasonable 20 bucks for a plug and mount.

Thank you Debbie and Betty for Birthday wishes and smooch!!

been doing laundry all the day, lol..
.Anthony's keys are missing, yikes...He's pretty upset, not going to work, in search of.

Prayers for Ann and family. Just got back from 7 hours in emergency with Scotty. He will spend about four days then go to the nursing home for good. They put him on insulin shots and his kidneys are failing at a fast rate. I am tired haven't ate anything since 7 this morn so will get back here tomorrow. HUGS BEV

OH Bev, big big hugs for you.....lots of them. Get some food and some rest!

Betty, more hugs for Anne and Mike. He was such a hero and fighter. No more pain is such a big gain when things like this happen.


Betty, Paul is taking a day or two off, and taking me to surgery tomorrow. Shannon is off work the next two day so she will be here also. And she his home from 3:00 on. Yes, Paul is driving tomorrow.....not allowed for me too with the drugs! Looks like they have me starting PT already on Friday. WIll know more tomorrow.

I have to be at the surgical unit at 9:15...surgeyr is usually an hour later. That is actually pretty good as It gives me time to get Shane to school, get the animals cared for....and then leave and not too much rush hour to fight with.

WIll somehow get on here and post and let ya'll know how it went.

Be back
Debbie

Good luck and God Bless Deb.

Bev, sorry to bear that Scotty is not doing well..relieved though that he will finally be in a nursing home as I'm sure it was beyond difficult for you to look after him! You've done well doing it this far! Perhaps after eating you'll get a good nights rest!

Debbie, praying everything will go well tomorrow..come back as soon as you are able to let us know you are ok and on the mend.

Thanks everyone for kind thoughts/prayers for Ann and her family. I gave her a hug..she wouldn't let go..know she appreciated it! Ann's girls and Ann's brother and sister were with her, she hadn't called friends or a lot of her family and was doing so as I was leaving.

She so terribly exhausted..hoping she'll be able to sleep tonight.

Ann said the hospital called at 7:30 am and asked her to come in.. The girls left for the city late yesterday afternoon so she called them as well. By the time she arrived, approximate 1/2 hour Mike had lost his battle..she sat with him for about 40 minutes then decided the girls didn't need to see him as he was so she called them and said she was on her way home so they met her there!

Tonight the girls got boxes of photo's out, lots of my hubby, my boys and myself..amazing to see how young my kids were..her girls are but a few years younger, they had a trailer just down the road from our place on Little Lake. Lots of good times..

Head is pounding so to bed I go!

Glad Paul will be with you Debbie..sending hugs..be thinking of you tomorrow morning!

Betty, when do you see your Dr.? Sounds like your blood pressure is still high?
Bev, sort to hear about Scotty. Sending prayers for you both.

Betty - send lots of hugs Ann's way...... know she is at peace, knowing that Mike is with his Father.
Bev - Scotty will get the kind of help he needs, in a nursing home. Sorry to know he's that ill that he has to be, but it will be easier for you.

Betty - my ex was a trucker, NEVER my Bob. My DH was in construction, then Shipper/Receiver, so he's going to go after that type of job. It's a good steady job, M-F, regular vacations, and no worry about self-employment taxes!!

I'm on the puter now, to make up a resume & reference letter to go to a company that a new friend of mine has recommended. Going to do that now...... ciao all!

Blessings to all of you!

OMG! Hello To all... Gone a day without you and miss you all so much. DH cut the cable yesterday out digging and no internet.... (Got a new palm tree planted ... new plantings around insued... and "Voila" he cuts the cable!) so that related to gardening... LOL...but no internet for me since yesterday .....

Betty, Thank you for letting us know about Mike and BIG HUGS to Ann.... again I'm not good at putting my thoughts to words... but My thoughts with you all... Ann is a very special lady....

Susan - ((HUGS)) For your hubby... know you will help him... what an asset for someone with his resume to have the internet and office skills you have to help represent them... I feel he'll have a better job in no time...
Oh Judy - You found "THE DRESS"... what a great feeling... and make Breenie feel on top of the world... ((HUGS)) for you to find happiness ... I think I know how you feel... sometimes the drama around here can make me feel so down but it's SO hard to explain sometimes...
DS Almost did NOT graduate last year... I had to meet with the Principal... guess if I have any advice it would be to communicate with anyone at the school who may help... I really did get help... so praying you do as well...
Waving to Synda, Joyce... ((HUGS)) Bev - I dare say you need a break so Hope you get some time to relax and regroup.....
Deb.. Don't they say "Doctors make the worst patients" ? And you def have that medical background / knowledge... Please post a Band trip pic and news ! I'm sure they had a blast....
LK - Headed to Fort Walton Beach, which I call my hometown.... I forget that Texas is "Gulf Coast" as well... those morning glories will be real pretty... Sis & I tried to grown them when growing up and now I find them wild in the backyard sometimes...
Holly - you have Beach trip envy.... I have Swap Trip Envy... LOL... Great idea for Elf re: local libraries... I used to drop in libraries throughout the day to check out emails before my smart phone....
Where is a good place to grow a trumpet vine? We have one growing up a huge tree but I got another in the swap... the person said it was orange (my other is yelllow)
Betty we shouldn't have any flooding here... that's what they are releasing the spillways for... but you can't come this way anyway... I won't allow it (LOL) because I won't be here.... Leaving Thurs for Ft Walton....

ALL... DSD1 graduated tonight. Wow what emotions... Those who have endured my rants through these years know what a challenge "The girls" have been for me. I married DH when they were 8 and 9 and we have custody. Their Bio-mom and her mom came to town yesterday... took them to dinner and I witnessed a regression in behavior in them..
Who knew how tonight would turn out ? At one point I walked right by DSD2 and Bio Mom... was a surprise I thought they saw me. Whenever I see their Mom I often shake and can't really talk... I don't speak to her. She is just plain evil to me and I'm furious when I think of all the abuse she gave them and hence our family (and me).

Anyway long story short... they all left after DSD walked through graduation... Just Texted her goodbye and left... they said it was 'too loud'. She was so hurt at first but we all took pictures and then took everyone (Fil, Mil, cousins, family) to dinner and ended up joking and laughing and I do believe the night was so special for her...

So many mixed emotions here...
Hugs to all,

Mary

Thanks Mary - your thoughts are much appreciated. I created an intro letter for Bob & have emailed it to a friend of mine who has an "in" with a company. Would be nice if Bob gets a job right away.

So nice to hear about the graduation!! Families, eh?................. ah well, things turned out much better ^_^

Moved us over..

Coffee and chelsea buns await you..
