OK here is the run down. No wonder I am so tired and my back is out. WHEW!!

First, my mother is having surgery on the 30th to remove a diseased portion of her colon due to diverticulitis.

Second, I am going to Tucson on the 31st for a Gem and Bead show for my Jewelry Biz.

Third, I have a daughter that is delivering her second child and my 7th grandchild on the 24th

Fourth, I just found out that my youngest daughter, who got married June of 04, is pregnant and most likely due in Sept.

SO I have lots going on in just the FIRST month of 2006. :omg:

Plus I am dealing with the loss of the band and changing my eating habits. SIGH!!

Calgon take me to the Islands and give me a chocolate bath. NOW!!

WOW Penni, You make me tired just reading your post!

Congratulations on all your grand babies!! What fun that must be!

I will say an extra prayer for your mama!

I wish I were closer to Tucson! I would love to meet you. It is a good 4 hour drive from me! :rofl:

Oooooo - the BIG bead show... I wish I could be there! Besides, I would love to meet you, Penni!!

All I can say about the craziness is hold on, Hon. The year is just getting warmed up!!

Good luck with all that!

Grand babies = big spending doesn't even touch the surface. LOL!! I am so excited about the one gonna be here in a few days and the one that will be here in 9 months. I love all my grandbabies.

Congrats on the babies and hang in there, your Mom's gonna be just fine, she has my prayers.

chocolate................ sorry no comprende' *faint*

There is something about those September births!!! :biggrin1: :biggrin1:

My Anne Marie was due on my mom's day - September 15th. But we planned the c-section the day before. So, for our family party I get a big cake and have "Happy Birthday MeMe and Anne Marie". Very special!

So, how awesome would it be if the next bebe would be on (or near) YOUR birthday?!

There is something about those September births!!! :biggrin1: :biggrin1: <<

yea there is!! my mom had my sister on Sept. 23 and they said it was all the new years babies, the hospital was full!

Okay, penni, breathe!

Breathe while you can, and remember to keep breathing even when you don't have time for it!

How many kids do you have? Sounds like you had rabbits intead of children - just kidding!! Your mom has lots of "strangers" prayers (which are better than friend prayers IMHO), so she is being looked out for!

Enjoy the bead expo, and take some time while you are away for a mani-pedicure!! The closest thing to a chocolate bath!

Hang in there!

breath I must remember to breath. Thanks for the reminder.

I have 4 children. Three daughters and one son. My son is the youngest and he is 18 and graduates this year from High School.

I got all emotional last night and was talking with John and said. "All my baby girls are having babies." THen I just busted out crying. Then I laughed at myself for being so emotional. My daughter that is due any minute called and instead of saying HI she said "So do you feel really old now?" I just love the relationship I have with all my kids. I just wished we lived closer to each other.
