Crystal, Welcome Back and great job with the weight loss. Marci, I am praying here...know that I love you bunches. Stephanie, LOL about the chicken and your mom's date! Kathi, My phone is around here somewhere, probably dead...I will have to find it. I hope you feel better. Tina, Good Luck on the field! Brenda, Hope your show is going well. Rima and Mandy, Hope your enjoying your day off:)
Yes, LA, you have to find it; Marci's looking forward to me calling now; I am too; want to hear those screaming crawfish..lmao; that was so funny when she said that
Steph, I posted on the other commnet section...but that was funny about your mom's date; they never appear as they say they do online; the only sucky thing about last night was that he's married; he says that he has an "open marriage"; I don't believe in that, but it was fun anyway
Kathi...hope you have a great day visiting your friend in Escondido! You looked great today BTW :)
Steph...nope...I'm not going anywhere just because the Wrather's moved...I'll still be on the blog ...blah blahing LOL...we are fortunate or unfortunate LOL to have great friends scattered all over the country and we do whatever it takes not to lose those friendship bonds :) And because of this blog and the Wrather's, I have met such wonderful people :D I adore you all!!!!!!!!!! SMOOCHES!
awaiting word to head up to the fairgrounds...darnit...they didn't have our bamboo delivered when we were there Saturday...and we are hoping any minute it will be...then off we go :)
Ok...girls got beat but took 3rd overall for tourney. Not too shabby. Tia got a yellow for taking some girl down HARD. They carried her off the field.. but hey... it was a 50-50 ball and Tia was just NOT gonna be the one to go down. ha. Jenna got nailed in the eye and side of the face with a ball to the face... she will have a shiner tomorrow. LOL. LOOOONG day. They are still out at the field with the team watching playoffs. Well - Im gonna go take a nap with my hubby. Im beat! Good luck with the Bamboo Brenda! Miss you Leigh Ann! Thinking of you Marci, Steph, Crystal and Kathy! Hope to hear from you Rima and Mandy! I hope i got everyone... my brain is numb. ha!
Hey ladies, thanks for the comments and prayers.. I have never been so scared before...
I felt like I was hit by freight train this morning.... my throat is so sore... and I have a huge bruise on my breast where I got punched.... she was a demon... PPD is nothing to play with...
Mike and I kept Mylee in our room last night... I gave KK a panic pill from Madison and it about knocked her out...which was good..... she was very quiet this morning, like she knew something happened but she didn't know what... we didn't say a word... but I brought her her meds for PPD...
Oh Marci...I would definitely have to SEE her take that pill every day. I am so sorry! Those swings can't be good for anyone involved! How does KK feel today?
She didn't even know what went on last night... I showed her my breast today... it is a huge bruise... she just looked stunned... she really didnt have a clue Steph... she was another person... scary...
should I tell her quit breast feeding???? do you think it is draining her???
Marci...so glad it's calm today...I would ask her doc or the on call one if her's is out of town..he may need to adjust any meds too...Steph..I'm with you..watch her take the meds
Tina...what a wild ride you all had...wow wee...congrats on 3rd overall!!
We go the bamboo up on our boothes today...will need to go back up there maybe Thursday to get the benches covered...it was a good long day :) eating dinner as I type and the guys are watching, I think basketball...
OMG; yeah, Marci, I'd take her into the doctor to change her meds; does she see a (excuse me for asking this) psychiatrist/psychologist? I think she may need to; THANK GOD you kept Mylee with you last night...oh LORD, I don't want to even go where that would have lead to had you not
Great job on the games, Tina;
I just got back from visiting my friend in Escondido (by bus, it's a two hour ride north)
Yes, I love my blog friends, too (((((((GROUP HUG)))))))))
OMG; I TOTALLY FORGOT; I talked to Crystal today on my way up to my friend's; she sounds WONDERFUL and so incredibly happy; she told me something that I'm not going to; I'm gonna let that be her news, but you might want to check her blog in the next few weeks; that's all I'm gonna say
Well... rather than napping Fred and I went to home depot and bought a bunch of stuff for our patio in the back yard. LeighAnn... your plants look WONDERFUL out there! Brenda - I cant wait till you can come and bring the trees and help me decide where to put them!! Its so peaceful and relaxing. I love it! Well... I REALLY need to go work on that stupid bonus plan. I have 2 days of training to do so its not getting done at work!! :o)
Go get 'em Tina; I think I'm off to bed; at least for a little bit (I don't stay asleep for long anymore).. had a very long day today
Thank you so much for taking me to Target, Brenda; Crystal thought the gifts were perfect; and she said the bikini would probably fit, but she said exactly what you said bout the diaper; so it should be ok; I'm gonna include the receipt when I mail it, so in case it doesn't fit, she can exchange it; I just gotta get to the post office now; but I'm gonna see if my IHSS worker can do that...
great Kathi :) the bathing suit will be so sweet on 4th July...fellow bloggers..it's red/white and blue :) with a little flag on it and little ruffles..DARLING! I'm very curious Kathi as to what Crystal has planned to announce on her blog???
Tina...OMG I so can't wait to see your patio and bring the other plants to you....I'll email you my avail and you see when is good for you :)
Marci :) So happy you got to relax in your garden !!!!! It is a peaceful experience if you can totally tune out reality around you...BTW...I bet your dirt smells good LMAO...ours..no..LOL
This morning was a lot better... :) wouldn't want to experience worse!
Tina congrats on the girls winning 3rd! that's awesome.
Brenda, Mike and I were planting and here comes the rain... we stayed out in it!!! we had fun... Gabrielle ended up putting her swim suit on and stood in the "waterfall" (where my roof line comes down).. and then she jumped on the trampoline in the rain.. to be a kid... :)
Oh dear, Leigh Ann; I'm sorry about Mack; hope she feels better soon...ear aches are fun anyway, but when you're traveling across country... I heard that Riverwalk is awesome (and the Alamo). I now have a cousin that lives in Texas; she just got a job in Galveston. She's on my mom's side of the fam. I also have a cousin on Dad's side that lives in Running Springs.. you ever heard of that?
Leigh Ann, have the girls been having a good time... I know they are missing their friends... but hopefully busy enough to have fun... and not think about that right now.
Oh Kathi I wanted to tell you.. I love your blogger friends side bar on your blog... but mine is an s now instead of a z... noboys.....instead of noboyz.. I had to change it....
Hey all...this afternoon I was at a friend's plant nurdery having a great day volunteering...then something terrible happened...an elderly lady stepped out on Hwy 67...it's a 2 lane hwy right in front of the nursery...a car hit her doing 55mph (the speed limit) it was awful...she was concious..and badly hurt...let's all say a prayer for her and her family
Morning girls.. I'm up early cuz I couldn't sleep and I have to go to the post office to mail back a bluetooth thing that I ordered from T-Mobile that SUCKS!
Yea, the guy stopped after hitting her...he almost lost control of his van trying to stop :( my friend got a blanket for her to keep her from going into shock and an ice pack for the huge bump on her head and another lady held her head in her lap...it was just awful and I'll never get her screams out of my head when she was hit :(
Morning Ladies! Brenda - how AWFUL! Poor woman! I seem to be having an alergic reaction to something... my top lip is swollen in 3 places... looks like botox gone bad!!! Hurts too...and I get to do training again all day and talk and talk and talk... ouch.
The game was great and it was a close one! GO LAKERS! We were a little out numbered!
That is awful about that lady! Will be praying here.
The kids have been so busy, I don't think they have had a chance to be sad.
After an ER visit (they sent us to PEDS) at Brooke Army Medical Center...she has both an external an internal ear infections bi-laterally! Can you imagine? I left with a sack of drugs:)
We are packing up and heading for Beaumont and then to Kentwood tomorrow. I am glad we split it up cause those long days kill me.
Tonight I am going to try and add some pictures and stuff!
Tina...how awful!! gosh I wonder what you would be allergic to?? Hope the training goes well
Leighann...glad to hear you got her ears taken care of...what a whopper of an infection!!! WOW! Can't wait to hear more news on the road and see you pics!!!
Hi Brenda!!! Love Ya BUNCHES Brenda! Hope you had a FANTASTIC day! Im going tux shopping with my brat and his date. Wheeeeee! lol Sure has been quite on this blog today. :o)
OMG... WHAT A LONG FRICKIN DAY I'VE HAD; had to mail the stupid bluetooth thing back, get some packaging stuff to mail off Savannah's gifts later, and then went to a job fair downtown at the Convention Center.. and I just got home 20 minutes ago, after leaving the house at 7 this morning.. needless to say I'm just a little tired;
Yeah, LA, splitting up your trip was a great idea; and OMG, I'm so sorry about Mack..THANK GOD you don't have to do any climbing into mountains or anything; you'd have one heck of an unhappy child if you did that with the ear popping and all; tell Rayna thanks for the text; and TEXT ME BACK!
I just got info on a bunch of companies; just about every application I need to fill out is online now, so I'm gonna spend the day tomorrow filling a lot of those out/uploading my resume
Hey ladies, I'm finally here... I was at the dreaded front desk at work.. no time for ANYTHING.... phone and clients all day long, I have 5 house closings on Friday.. and trying to generate their closing papers... my boss drove me crazy and I told him I quit.. he said, I'll get you a lap top.. what about that???? he's a fool... LOL
Brenda, I would have just melted seeing that lady suffer... OMG... I cannot imagine her pain physically or yours emotionally, I am thinking of you both... Kathi, yes the accessories suck some times and we have to return... a bitch to do!! Leigh Ann, can't wait... less than 48 hours and we can suck heads and pinch tails in honor of Tina!! love ya girl...
PT tomorrow, I cannot forget.. for my neck
Gabrielle goes back to Children's Hospital in New Orleans in the morning for her 2 month follow up for Epilepsy...
L>A> glad the game was awesome... and thank goodness some relief on the ear infections... poor baby, inner and outer.. OUCH!!!!!!!
The damn cheap(er) one I had before was better than the one I ordered.. you can't win for losin..OY!! Thank God I don't have to worry about that anymore, though; and I get my frickin $80 back - well, credited to my T-Mobile account; I hope Gabbi's appt goes well tomorrow; is this just a check up on her meds, or are they doing another EEG?
ANYTHING, Marci; I'm so desparate right now.. but I WILL NOT lower my standards and clean toilets.. I'm basically looking for data entry/office type stuff; I'm so proficient on the computer, I think I'd be great at that kind of stuff; besides, due to all my medical stuff/feet in particular, I think that'd be the better job for me
My mom has always wanted me to get into that, Marci, but I've always refused; but now, with more medical problems arising, I'm not so anxious to refuse anymore; but I refused before because I was go dead set on working with kids (and I still want to, but not be on my feet so much.. but that just isn't possible, now, is it?)
I'm off to bed; I've been up for over 14 hours now; and I'm NEVER up that long (without a nap), so goodnight all; take care, God bless and see you all tomorrow
Kathi, You have to do what works for you.. sometimes it is not the "ideal" job that your mind is set for. .... but something that generates "self worth"... check with the schools.. a lot of times they need a helper with the certified teacher... which would mean benefits for you as well as what you want to do... :)
Thanks for the support, guys. Yes, I'm back on; had to email my doctor to get him to write me a script for more of my meds.
The thing with the schools though is, there's SO MANY teachers getting pink slips, that I don't know how stable that is right now.. I don't want to get a job and then be laid off soon after; and it's the stability that I want; if you guys read my blog, I believe that is my calling..to work with children.. I was actually thinking of getting back into a Klassic Kids this summer, if I don't get anything from the job fair today
Have a great trip, LA; and ask Paul what he thinks of me getting back into a KK, and which one he thinks would be best for me
Good Morning All!! Tux fitting DIDNT go. Date showed up here later than planned and we decided to just have dinner and watch a movie and do the tux thing today... so...that is what we are doing. *sigh* But on the flip side... my BBQ porkchops turned out very good! lol
...yes, sorry, I am just tunneling out. I am just on the wagon with Tina and Marci, working my tail off...I feel like it has been a day of progress; I got through a HUGE pile of stuff to be filed, lying on my bedroom floor (i.e., receipts, old statements to be filed, just plain old TRASH, etc.) And, got some new software loaded for work. Woohoo...I have noticed that things that make me say 'woohoo' are not as fun as they once were...pretty lame, I am! :)
yes, Steph...I know all bout that load :) hope your software helps out with the work load!! Any thunderstorms today??? I wish I could just click a link and enjoy the sights and sounds of them :D No, bad ones with hail and tornados thought...I just love a good thunder and lightning show :D
Yes, it rained the hardest I have ever seen on Monday, for about 2 hours. I don't think we had any tornados around...I had to spend some more time on my patio, replanting my tender little potted annuals that had floated to the top of the saturated soil! Ahhh!! Other than that, it was nice to hear the rain on the roof. I love that...makes me want a nap, or just to lie in bed and read.
Kathi, it is Friday, I posted yesterday about today... ;)
Steph, I work for a State Farm Agent, I've been here for 15 1/2 years and I am his top producer. He is one of the Top 12 Elite agents in the United States.. I also track production for our entire office which is 10 people in sales. Yes, I could always use a raise! He treats me well.. my children call him "Poppie" my little ones think he is my dad!
Wow...15 years, Marci! That is awesome! My husband gave the insurance producer thing a go for a while (he is still licensed to sell in TN), but he is way too impatient, I think. I told him, these things take time...
good morning all :) It's Friday..Marci, I'm sure you are looking forward to the get together tonight :) SO very excited for you!!! Great news on your daughter too!!!! Great things are happening for your family :D
Steph..poor flowers!! LOL sounds like you don't need anymore rain for awhile...I'm excited for you too that you'll be reunited with the Wrather family!! Almost there!!
Hey Kathi...no worries...tonight you'll get to hear the happy sounds of the girls when they call :)...don't take Ativan until after you talk to them LMOA
Brenda, Kathi also gets to hear the screaming crawfish!!!! I will laugh about that for a while... too funny... Steph, ya'll have been pounded with rain huh? us too.... it's miserable.. but so hot we need it sometimes.. Leigh Ann, are you up yet???
Hey all, We did make it...I am having a hard time keeping the internet up...I will call you Kathi and for everyone else I will take lots of pictures!!!
Leigh Ann, did you get my text message about calling my house phone? I'm getting really close to using up all my minutes on my cell, but I guess you guys are worth going over. Can't wait.
I AM SO jealous of Marci and her crew! They get to hug on the Wrathers! *sniff* Well - its been a long time coming I know, but Im still jealous. *grin* On a brighter note...I am down 1/2 lb this week!!! YAYAYA! Steph - I SO want a crawfish mascot... TOOOO CUTE!!
ok....I weighted in too...I'm also down 1/2 lb like you Tina :D congrats!!! and see you at the soccor game!! I'll be thinking of you Paul and Leighann~
And I'll be thinking about you Marci and the gang having your crawfish boil
Just talked to Leigh Ann; she said hi to everyone; she's in Kentwood with Marci now; she said she doesn't know when she'll be back on here, but that they took a ton of pics of the boil and she'll get 'em up here just as soon as she can; but they're all good; Marci's kids were playing with Leigh Ann's and she said that Mylee June is an absolute doll; Marci commented that Paul and Leigh Ann have just another eight hours before they're in TN
Hey Ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG... we had the most amazing time together! there is NO WAY there has been 16 years separating us... I was running late leaving today.. and Leigh Ann had a private issue to take care of with her mom... I"m sure she will give you details, we all know her mom has been struggling.. and is in of some major prayers right now... Me and the girls arrived around 4:30 and Leigh Ann was back to join us around 8ish... Kathi, wait to you see the awesome pictures I took.... Mike opened the first sack of crawfish and there was a solid BLUE crawfish on top of the pack... the rest were bright red so he really stood out... oh, and he screamed the loudest!!! LOL You would have though that our 8 girls grew up together.... they all bonded so well... Rayna was quiet but in an age group to herself so she and Mylee set off to cuddle each other most of the night!
I could go On On and ON.... we planned to leave there around 10 and head home and Mike had to drag me and Leigh Ann from each other around 1:15.... whoops....
For those of you in California, I know what you are missing in your life right now.. I have missed it for 16 years.. I got 5 hours tonight and will cherish that for years to come.... we are already planning the next boil!!!! this time crabs....
wanted to tell ya'll, not the typical table with newspaper... no one had tables... Paul and I dug in John Mark's shed (L.A.'s brother)... found 2 pieces of plywood... and looked to the side of the shed and found 2 table bases... and Paul and I made 2 tables!!! awesome...
Madison loved Paul... great conversations there!!!! she loved him.... and the gheco(spelling?)
Kathi, I am so glad we got to talk to you it was great!
I cannot sleep!!! I am so excited.. had so much fun... I am posting pictures for ya'll.... I just don't know how to do the slide show episode like Leigh Ann... so each picture is posting separating... Oh well... tell me when you get bored!! :)
Morning all! Great Pic's Marci!! Grocery shopping done... now a manicure. LOL. Hope you all have a great day! Brenda - thank you and Steve for coming to the soccer game! Looking forward to seeing you tonight!!
I talked to Tori this morning, she was driving as her mom had a little hangover! LOL They left Kentwood about 8:30 and at 11:15 were in Meridian Mississippi, they are probably due to arrive about 6 .m. in Tennessee...
Glad you enjoyed the pictures Tina,and glad the groceries are done.... Did the girls play last night??? I hope they won!
I'm glad you guys all had fun. I'll look at the pics later; I've got a bit of a headache right now, but I can't wait to see see them. I was great to talk to you too, Marci. I hope Leigh Ann's mom's OK.

Well girls, they are here, and safe! I thought I would drop a quick update. We had a bite together and now they are chilling on my deck, while I get Ansley to bed...too much excitement for her, all of those new girls to boss around! :)
Marci, we heard all about their visit in Louisiana. They had a blast, and it was fun to hear, too!

thanks Brenda, I think I will be more of a hawk.... with the meds.. I really thought I was watching...
I thought about you today, we planted some things in the yard and repotted some plants!!!
Marci
OMG; yeah, Marci, I'd take her into the doctor to change her meds; does she see a (excuse me for asking this) psychiatrist/psychologist? I think she may need to; THANK GOD you kept Mylee with you last night...oh LORD, I don't want to even go where that would have lead to had you not
Great job on the games, Tina;

Good Morning Ladies! Happy Tuesday! I hope each and everyone of you has a wonderful week!
Good Morning Everyone!!!
Brenda, I saw that, too - a blog shower.
Tina,
Tell the girls, congrats!
Marci, I hope she is better - can't wait to see ya'll.
Hi Stephanie, I have a box of Dora Jelly Bean (candy beans) in my purse for my baby:)
Hi...trying to find a doc...
Mackenzie's ears are killing her:(
Good Morning everyone!
This morning was a lot better... :) wouldn't want to experience worse!
Tina congrats on the girls winning 3rd! that's awesome.
Brenda, Mike and I were planting and here comes the rain... we stayed out in it!!! we had fun... Gabrielle ended up putting her swim suit on and stood in the "waterfall" (where my roof line comes down).. and then she jumped on the trampoline in the rain..
to be a kid... :)
Marci
Went to the Alamo and the Riverwalk yesterday - it was awesome!
On hold with Tricare...
Oh dear, Leigh Ann; I'm sorry about Mack; hope she feels better soon...ear aches are fun anyway, but when you're traveling across country... I heard that Riverwalk is awesome (and the Alamo). I now have a cousin that lives in Texas; she just got a job in Galveston. She's on my mom's side of the fam. I also have a cousin on Dad's side that lives in Running Springs.. you ever heard of that?
How Fun!
I know you took plenty of pics... can't wait to see them...
Friday won't get here quick enough!
Marci
Madison also has a damn earache... and hasn't even been swimming yet!
Marci
That was pretty cool, Marci; we posted at the same time; sorry about Madison...
Yes it was Kathi.. funny...
Marci
very fun Marci!!! I love the idea of playing in the rain :) Glad you all enjoyed it..
Leighann..the Alamo!! WOW! Can't wait to see all your pics...Hoping the ears are taken car of so Mackenzie can enjoy her time at the game tonight :)
Leighann...this is a message from Steve: Tell her to have Paul send a picture to your phone (from his phone) from the game.
LOL
Are you going to a Rangers or an Astros game? How exciting! Ok, just thought you could be going to a Spurs game too... DUH
LA, when do you guys leave for Kentwood?
Leigh Ann, have the girls been having a good time... I know they are missing their friends... but hopefully busy enough to have fun... and not think about that right now.
Love you
Marci
Leigh Ann, what's going on? How's Mackenzie?
MAN, IS IT DEAD IN HERE TONIGHT!!!
Hey ladies... I'm here now..
we had t-ball.. and then watering plants outside...
what's up???
Marci
Oh Kathi I wanted to tell you..
I love your blogger friends side bar on your blog... but mine is an s now instead of a z...
noboys.....instead of noboyz..
I had to change it....
Marci
Thanks, Marci; I'll go and change it; why did you have to change it? How's KK feeling these days?
Hey all...this afternoon I was at a friend's plant nurdery having a great day volunteering...then something terrible happened...an elderly lady stepped out on Hwy 67...it's a 2 lane hwy right in front of the nursery...a car hit her doing 55mph (the speed limit) it was awful...she was concious..and badly hurt...let's all say a prayer for her and her family
Now...on to something more cheerful...can't wait to hear how the Wrather's liked the basketball game!!
I called Leigh Ann earlier, but I guess she wasn't available.. more than likely at the game
Brenda, that was horrible about that lady.. did you guys go over and help her?
Did the car stop after hitting her?
Morning girls.. I'm up early cuz I couldn't sleep and I have to go to the post office to mail back a bluetooth thing that I ordered from T-Mobile that SUCKS!
oh so sorry Kathi....Love your new pic BTW
Yea, the guy stopped after hitting her...he almost lost control of his van trying to stop :( my friend got a blanket for her to keep her from going into shock and an ice pack for the huge bump on her head and another lady held her head in her lap...it was just awful and I'll never get her screams out of my head when she was hit :(
Morning Ladies! Brenda - how AWFUL! Poor woman! I seem to be having an alergic reaction to something... my top lip is swollen in 3 places... looks like botox gone bad!!! Hurts too...and I get to do training again all day and talk and talk and talk... ouch.
Good Morning All,
The game was great and it was a close one! GO LAKERS! We were a little out numbered!
That is awful about that lady! Will be praying here.
The kids have been so busy, I don't think they have had a chance to be sad.
After an ER visit (they sent us to PEDS) at Brooke Army Medical Center...she has both an external an internal ear infections bi-laterally! Can you imagine? I left with a sack of drugs:)
We are packing up and heading for Beaumont and then to Kentwood tomorrow. I am glad we split it up cause those long days kill me.
Tonight I am going to try and add some pictures and stuff!
Tina...how awful!! gosh I wonder what you would be allergic to?? Hope the training goes well
Leighann...glad to hear you got her ears taken care of...what a whopper of an infection!!! WOW! Can't wait to hear more news on the road and see you pics!!!
hello brenda...hello to you too brenda...how are you today...I'm fine, how are you....oh, great...doing good... :D
Hi Brenda!!! Love Ya BUNCHES Brenda! Hope you had a FANTASTIC day! Im going tux shopping with my brat and his date. Wheeeeee! lol
Sure has been quite on this blog today. :o)
OMG... WHAT A LONG FRICKIN DAY I'VE HAD; had to mail the stupid bluetooth thing back, get some packaging stuff to mail off Savannah's gifts later, and then went to a job fair downtown at the Convention Center.. and I just got home 20 minutes ago, after leaving the house at 7 this morning.. needless to say I'm just a little tired;
Yeah, LA, splitting up your trip was a great idea; and OMG, I'm so sorry about Mack..THANK GOD you don't have to do any climbing into mountains or anything; you'd have one heck of an unhappy child if you did that with the ear popping and all; tell Rayna thanks for the text; and TEXT ME BACK!
((((((hug))))) Brenda
Hey Tina...oh my..best wishes on the mall trip :) a tux !!! Oh..hope you brought tissues!!
Kathi...that was one long day you had!!!! job fair..wow...hope you find great possibilites :)
I just got info on a bunch of companies; just about every application I need to fill out is online now, so I'm gonna spend the day tomorrow filling a lot of those out/uploading my resume
Hey ladies, I'm finally here...
I was at the dreaded front desk at work.. no time for ANYTHING.... phone and clients all day long, I have 5 house closings on Friday.. and trying to generate their closing papers... my boss drove me crazy and I told him I quit.. he said, I'll get you a lap top.. what about that???? he's a fool...
LOL
Brenda, I would have just melted seeing that lady suffer... OMG... I cannot imagine her pain physically or yours emotionally, I am thinking of you both...
Kathi, yes the accessories suck some times and we have to return... a bitch to do!!
Leigh Ann, can't wait... less than 48 hours and we can suck heads and pinch tails in honor of Tina!!
love ya girl...
PT tomorrow, I cannot forget.. for my neck
Gabrielle goes back to Children's Hospital in New Orleans in the morning for her 2 month follow up for Epilepsy...
L>A> glad the game was awesome...
and thank goodness some relief on the ear infections... poor baby, inner and outer.. OUCH!!!!!!!
Marci
The damn cheap(er) one I had before was better than the one I ordered.. you can't win for losin..OY!! Thank God I don't have to worry about that anymore, though; and I get my frickin $80 back - well, credited to my T-Mobile account; I hope Gabbi's appt goes well tomorrow; is this just a check up on her meds, or are they doing another EEG?
Brenda,
ROF LMAS...that was too funny! No one was on the blog from 7 to 2 something and you answered yourself, love it:)
Yes, Marci...it is almost time.
Tina, hope the tux shopping was successful. Whose his date?
Kathi,
Good Luck job hunting and I will call you on Friday - don't worry!
Mackenzie is feeling better this evening. Thanks everyone!
Thanks, Leigh Ann; can't wait to hear those screamin crawfish..LMAO; and have a good fourth leg of your trip
That was funny, Brenda! I had just got home and read that.. I needed a good laugh
Kathi, want kind of job are you looking for??? what credentials???
or just anything??
Tina, who needs a tux...? I missed that post...
Yes, Brenda was out of control talking to herself!!!! LOL
Marci
LOL... think we need to take a hose to her
ANYTHING, Marci; I'm so desparate right now.. but I WILL NOT lower my standards and clean toilets.. I'm basically looking for data entry/office type stuff; I'm so proficient on the computer, I think I'd be great at that kind of stuff; besides, due to all my medical stuff/feet in particular, I think that'd be the better job for me
How are you, Brenda?
You guys should see this bed in our suite - it is HUGE!
Oh Leigh Ann! That's great...
is it a new hotel you checked into???
Kathi, sounds great... yes, data entry would be right up your alley...
Marci
I thought you were staying with Scott
Pics, please, LA; I wanna see this suite
My mom has always wanted me to get into that, Marci, but I've always refused; but now, with more medical problems arising, I'm not so anxious to refuse anymore; but I refused before because I was go dead set on working with kids (and I still want to, but not be on my feet so much.. but that just isn't possible, now, is it?)
I'm off to bed; I've been up for over 14 hours now; and I'm NEVER up that long (without a nap), so goodnight all; take care, God bless and see you all tomorrow
Kathi..........OUT
Good Night Kathi....
Kathi,
You have to do what works for you.. sometimes it is not the "ideal" job that your mind is set for. .... but something that generates "self worth"... check with the schools.. a lot of times they need a helper with the certified teacher... which would mean benefits for you as well as what you want to do... :)
Marci
I agree with Marci...
Kathi you need to remind yourself how many children you did have a hand in raising - from this blog alone it's like a half a dozen or so.
I know that you will find something that makes you happy:)
I must go to bed...we are going to head out earlier tomorrow and try to beat some of those afternoon showers.
Thanks for the support, guys. Yes, I'm back on; had to email my doctor to get him to write me a script for more of my meds.
The thing with the schools though is, there's SO MANY teachers getting pink slips, that I don't know how stable that is right now.. I don't want to get a job and then be laid off soon after; and it's the stability that I want; if you guys read my blog, I believe that is my calling..to work with children.. I was actually thinking of getting back into a Klassic Kids this summer, if I don't get anything from the job fair today
Have a great trip, LA; and ask Paul what he thinks of me getting back into a KK, and which one he thinks would be best for me
G'night for real this time
Good Morning All!!!
Heading to the big "K"
Kathi, I will talk to Paul and let you know what he says.
Good Morning Leighann...have a nice smooth day driving... :D nice suite you had sounds like :)
Marci...sounds like you run the shop where you're at and the boss couldn't survive without you ;) LOL..hope it slows down!!
Kathi....I hope you get into something that allows you to work and be healthy :) If it's KK..I'm sure you'd be awesome...again :D
Tina...how did the tux fitting go??
Hey Steph....did Ansley bury you somewhere???
Hi Many Rima Crystal!!
All's good here..it's a beautiful Thursday and will head up to the fairgrounds to cover our benches..after work :)
Good Morning All!! Tux fitting DIDNT go. Date showed up here later than planned and we decided to just have dinner and watch a movie and do the tux thing today... so...that is what we are doing. *sigh* But on the flip side... my BBQ porkchops turned out very good! lol
Ohhh BBQ porkchops!! Yummy! Well...I hope today, the tux fitting goes well and I'm sure he's going to look sharp!!
Yeah, Zach is gonna look sharp! Can't wait to see the pics, Tina
What's the "big K", Leigh Ann?
I'm chalk full of Ativan; woke up with another "episode"...so don't know how clear I'm typing, but it looks clear to me, amazingly
I've already sent out one resume; to Kaiser; might send more, depending on how I'm feeling
Hey Kathi :) Big K to me is Kmart... Hope you're feeling better...your typing is clear. Good luck on Kaiser...how about Sharp???
...yes, sorry, I am just tunneling out. I am just on the wagon with Tina and Marci, working my tail off...I feel like it has been a day of progress; I got through a HUGE pile of stuff to be filed, lying on my bedroom floor (i.e., receipts, old statements to be filed, just plain old TRASH, etc.) And, got some new software loaded for work. Woohoo...I have noticed that things that make me say 'woohoo' are not as fun as they once were...pretty lame, I am! :)
yes, Steph...I know all bout that load :) hope your software helps out with the work load!! Any thunderstorms today??? I wish I could just click a link and enjoy the sights and sounds of them :D No, bad ones with hail and tornados thought...I just love a good thunder and lightning show :D
Yes, it rained the hardest I have ever seen on Monday, for about 2 hours. I don't think we had any tornados around...I had to spend some more time on my patio, replanting my tender little potted annuals that had floated to the top of the saturated soil! Ahhh!! Other than that, it was nice to hear the rain on the roof. I love that...makes me want a nap, or just to lie in bed and read.
Yeah, me too. We don't get that much rain, but when we do get a lot, I love to listen to it with the window open
hey, was leigh ann gonna stay over in beamont, or just pass through and drive all the way to kentwood tonight?
Good news today, Gabrielle got released for 6 months!!! WooHoo!!!
We will do another EEG at that time... Her meds are working..
I am so excited for tomorrow! I will get to see Paul, Leigh Ann and the girls!
Hey everyone!
Steph, I must comment that work just SUCKS right now... way too busy! oh well, I"m leaving a 1/2 day tomorrow... Yippee!!
Marci
I thought the boil wasn't until Friday, Marci? That's when Leigh Ann said she'd call me
Marci, what do you do at work, again? I know you have told us before...sounds like you need a raise! :-)
Kathi, it is Friday, I posted yesterday about today... ;)
Steph, I work for a State Farm Agent, I've been here for 15 1/2 years and I am his top producer. He is one of the Top 12 Elite agents in the United States.. I also track production for our entire office which is 10 people in sales.
Yes, I could always use a raise!
He treats me well.. my children call him "Poppie" my little ones think he is my dad!
Marci
Wow...15 years, Marci! That is awesome! My husband gave the insurance producer thing a go for a while (he is still licensed to sell in TN), but he is way too impatient, I think. I told him, these things take time...
good morning all :) It's Friday..Marci, I'm sure you are looking forward to the get together tonight :) SO very excited for you!!! Great news on your daughter too!!!! Great things are happening for your family :D
Steph..poor flowers!! LOL sounds like you don't need anymore rain for awhile...I'm excited for you too that you'll be reunited with the Wrather family!! Almost there!!
Hey Kathi...no worries...tonight you'll get to hear the happy sounds of the girls when they call :)...don't take Ativan until after you talk to them LMOA
Brenda, Kathi also gets to hear the screaming crawfish!!!! I will laugh about that for a while...
too funny...
Steph, ya'll have been pounded with rain huh? us too.... it's miserable.. but so hot we need it sometimes..
Leigh Ann, are you up yet???
Marci
Hey all,
We did make it...I am having a hard time keeping the internet up...I will call you Kathi and for everyone else I will take lots of pictures!!!
Hey girl,
I'm getting very antzy... ready to head out... a few more hours and I'll call you when were on the road...
where will you be??
Marci
Leigh Ann, did you get my text message about calling my house phone? I'm getting really close to using up all my minutes on my cell, but I guess you guys are worth going over. Can't wait.
I"ll remind her kathi!
Marci
Ok, thanks, Marci
Have fun Marci and Leighann!! How cool is this...love it LOL ok...back to work...
Hey Marci, what time do the crawfish start screamin?
Kathi,
I am leaving in a little bit... Mike is leaving around 4 pm. our time.. so the crawfish should be screaming around 7ish...
hey Brenda!
Marci
Ok; I'll be sure to home around 5 my time; are they in Kentwood yet?
Marci and Leigh Ann, may those little crawfish beasties scream their tiny heads off, as you pinch their tails...:-)
We have to design a crawfish logo, for the blog, y'all! It could be our mascot! Design one in a sexy little black dress...okay, silly I know. Sorry!
that would be pretty funny Steph...and I, for one, would love to laugh seeing it LOL
I AM SO jealous of Marci and her crew! They get to hug on the Wrathers! *sniff*
Well - its been a long time coming I know, but Im still jealous. *grin* On a brighter note...I am down 1/2 lb this week!!! YAYAYA!
Steph - I SO want a crawfish mascot... TOOOO CUTE!!
ok....I weighted in too...I'm also down 1/2 lb like you Tina :D congrats!!! and see you at the soccor game!! I'll be thinking of you Paul and Leighann~
And I'll be thinking about you Marci and the gang having your crawfish boil
Yeah, a logo sounds awesome! So funny, Steph. We've gotta think what Leigh Ann think of that, when she checks in tonight, if she does.
Looking forward to seeing you Brenda!!!
The phone woke me up, Leigh Ann, and then I couldn't find it; and then when I heard you voice, I was SAD; call back!
Mudbugs (AKA crawfish)...ha ha ha! I was reading some on the colorful culture of our favorite bayou brat... :)
The article told how to prepare and eat the little buggies...I thought it ended nicely, with a "quaff of fizzy beer"! If you LIKE that sort of thing!!
They are the same thing as what my East TN cousins (VERY rural folk!) call "crawdads" !!! Ewww....
Just talked to Leigh Ann; she said hi to everyone; she's in Kentwood with Marci now; she said she doesn't know when she'll be back on here, but that they took a ton of pics of the boil and she'll get 'em up here just as soon as she can; but they're all good; Marci's kids were playing with Leigh Ann's and she said that Mylee June is an absolute doll; Marci commented that Paul and Leigh Ann have just another eight hours before they're in TN
oh Kathi :) so glad you got to talk to folks down south!! I couldn't believe it when I saw you missed the call!!!! Thanks for the update on them :)
Enjoyed watching the soccor game...and they gave it their all...but :( it was a good game though!!!
Yeah, it was good to hear from her and Marci.
Yeah, Steph, I"m not real anxious to try 'em. EEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWW
Hey Ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG... we had the most amazing time together! there is NO WAY there has been 16 years separating us...
I was running late leaving today.. and Leigh Ann had a private issue to take care of with her mom... I"m sure she will give you details, we all know her mom has been struggling.. and is in of some major prayers right now...
Me and the girls arrived around 4:30 and Leigh Ann was back to join us around 8ish...
Kathi, wait to you see the awesome pictures I took.... Mike opened the first sack of crawfish and there was a solid BLUE crawfish on top of the pack... the rest were bright red so he really stood out... oh, and he screamed the loudest!!! LOL
You would have though that our 8 girls grew up together.... they all bonded so well... Rayna was quiet but in an age group to herself so she and Mylee set off to cuddle each other most of the night!
I could go On On and ON.... we planned to leave there around 10 and head home and Mike had to drag me and Leigh Ann from each other around 1:15.... whoops....
Marci
For those of you in California, I know what you are missing in your life right now.. I have missed it for 16 years.. I got 5 hours tonight and will cherish that for years to come.... we are already planning the next boil!!!! this time crabs....
wanted to tell ya'll, not the typical table with newspaper... no one had tables... Paul and I dug in John Mark's shed (L.A.'s brother)... found 2 pieces of plywood... and looked to the side of the shed and found 2 table bases... and Paul and I made 2 tables!!! awesome...
Madison loved Paul... great conversations there!!!! she loved him.... and the gheco(spelling?)
Kathi, I am so glad we got to talk to you it was great!
Marci
I cannot sleep!!! I am so excited.. had so much fun...
I am posting pictures for ya'll....
I just don't know how to do the slide show episode like Leigh Ann... so each picture is posting separating... Oh well... tell me when you get bored!! :)
Marci
Morning all! Great Pic's Marci!! Grocery shopping done... now a manicure. LOL. Hope you all have a great day! Brenda - thank you and Steve for coming to the soccer game! Looking forward to seeing you tonight!!
I talked to Tori this morning, she was driving as her mom had a little hangover! LOL
They left Kentwood about 8:30 and at 11:15 were in Meridian Mississippi, they are probably due to arrive about 6 .m. in Tennessee...
Glad you enjoyed the pictures Tina,and glad the groceries are done.... Did the girls play last night??? I hope they won!
Marci
I'm glad you guys all had fun. I'll look at the pics later; I've got a bit of a headache right now, but I can't wait to see see them. I was great to talk to you too, Marci. I hope Leigh Ann's mom's OK.
Hey Marci - Fred and I played soccer last night and Brenda and Steve came out and watched. It was lots of fun!! I am glad you all got to enjoy LA and crew... we miss them alot!
