Donna-What a nice way to start the day! I just got back from the pool and moved now stop for a half hour. The ocean would have been a lot nicer! WOW Donna, what a bummer about your house. I'm so so sorry for you. I'll pray that it all falls into place quickly for you. Patty-Glad you enjoyed the movie so much. We went to see it Friday night and could hardly get into the parking lot. Then the movie was sold out so we saw the Fast and Furious...dumb predictable, but lots of fun. Do you have Cobra for only a few months or for an unlimited period of time? Sherry-Hang in there. I have found only 1 store where things fit and that's Coldwatercreek. Unfortunate they are expensive so I try not to go there unless I really need something. There should be good sales going on right now for summer stuff. You can get stuff on line from them if you don't have a store near you. The sizes go from 2-24 and they are really nice things the size 2 pretty choices are the same as the 24's. AWW I love you DH! Darcy- HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU SNEAK FOR NOT TELLING US!!! I HOPE YOU HAD/HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY! How did the camp drop off go? Betty-I'm glad your calling the doctor tomorrow. I hate that your is so much pain. And if this job is really meant to be for you then they will understand. Keep us posted. Are you using crutches? Well DH/Garry is off to the big 3 day meeting. I am praying that things work out. You all have been great. DD was a dummy today honestly I don't understand her sometimes. She is the sweetest most caring girl. She wants to be a youth pastor and counselor. But she acts like a 12 yr old alot of times. She was driving with her girl friend showing her these new multi million dollar homes and she ran into a sign. I bet she did a thousand dollars worth of damage to the car! Then she was upset because we were angry and "disappointed in her and we hate her and don't love her" AHH. Well I'm trying to get the NJ girls to go to dinner on Tuesday night. Looks like were gonna do it! I'm excited I haven't seen them in 3 months. I keep missing the monthly meetings. Have a good night Hugs and prayer for all of you.

Itchy rash after surgery
I started breaking out in hives int he hospital they stopped my antibiotic and changed the pain meds gave me a shot of benadryl and everything was fine...until I got home. The day after I got home I was full of rashes on an old insision the new one and then on my thigh. Take benadryl NOW largest dose and don't stop for a few days. I had to go on predisone which really stunk. My Dr wants me to go to an allergist to see what I'm allergic to. It was not the glue because the small insisions had nothing on them. Good luck I know this is terrible. Take that Benadryl! Call the doctor tomorrow if you still have it and go in to the office to see him.

Beaten bloody,last night.
John that is terrible. Those medical bills should not be on you. Have you spoken with the police already? I guess your back on a liquid diet for a while? Thats good and bad. I will pray for no pain and quick healing.

Donna you know you can stay with me!!! I don't know how many people can make it on Saturday or not. I'm pretty sure Karen and Kim can't. OK so now lets narrow our dinner to Sunday, Tuesday or Wednesday.

Cindy-Thanks so much. You all are great. We all go through so much together. It is a blessing to have each other. How are you doing? How was dinner last night with your Dad. I've been praying for you. Glad you made it through the year. For some reason it is a relief after the date passes. I remember thinking that the very first year. I'm coming up on the 20th year in October. So hard to believe it has been so many years. It still seems like he's on a business trip a lot of the time. (((Hugs))) Kat- Aww I'm so sorry about the timing of the job offer. What a bummer. Thanks for the prayers and hugs. You have mine also. Betty-Thanks so much for your prayers and support. He still has his job it's just he's never been so upset with the company. And we hate the new commission plan it'is a slap in the face for him. He is like the #1 sales person for the company and this is how they say thanks! I'm so sorry your in more pain! Talk about no fair! Take it easy. Maybe you can call in for a different medication. It sure does stink that we can only take a few things to help with pain. Tylenol just doesn't seem to do the trick when your in a lot of pain. Darcy-Thanks for your kind words! Eileen- We miss you. Do you want all of us to come up and corner your boss and tell him what a D-head he is!!!! You know we will...lol.. Well I can't thank all of you enough for your shoulders! When I was reading all of your posts I couldn't help but cry. I am so blessed to have all of you. We really have to plan a get together. Wouldn't that be cool! Do you all want me to look into something. Of course everyone is welcome here! Charlotte NC 10 hours from Oakland NJ I have no idea how many from Texas and California though. Perhaps we could go to Tennessee..Nashville or Vegas. Or we could do our own cruise. Let me know if you want me to do major research and I will. Love you guys REALLY

Cindy-I'm thinking of you today. (((Hugs))) Patty- I'm so sorry..((((HUGS))))) lots of them. Your right about Gods plan and timing. I'm glad your getting away, it should help. We love you. Kat-How nice to have family time. I bet that is really helping DH and you. How did your fill go? I haven't been able to read back to catch up on everything. Betty-I hope you made it on time!! DH had a migraine yesterday. He is much better today. Scared me and him. Thanks for asking. Sherry-Thanks for your concern. Money and DH's job has got me sleepless. I haven't been concerned about $ in quite a few years. Company changeover has also changed the $ so now I don't sleep and he works harder and longer for less! Darcy-You sound like your having so much fun! I'm so happy for you. You aren't having a brain fart I really haven't said much of whats going on until tonight. Thanks. Howdy dody everyone else.... I did a little better with the food today. I got really upset when I was going through my calendar and saw that in April I was 207! I know I've screwed things up for my self. I sure hope I continue to do as good as I did today!! DH is better. He wrote his resume up tonight. That is a scary thought considering he's been with the same company for 15yrs. Things have changed and it is getting really ugly. The sister company took over 2 yeas ago and they are idiots that don't know what they are doing. I just hope and pray that DH prays about it and asks for guidance. Wifie can only recommend that, he has to do it and believe that giving it over is the only why. I wish he'd read the Purpose Driven Life! God has provided and I know he still is so I too have to give it to him. The thought of moving scares me and none of us want to! Hopefully that will not be a problem. OH well. I'm sorry if I sound winey. There are so many hardships in the world and this is nothing compared to so many others. I am grateful for what we have and I feel blessed for what we have. I'm just pissed at the moment..lol... Hopefully I can sleep tonight! Have a good one See you tomorrow. Love you guys!
