Oh gosh, Leigh Ann, thank you so much for doing that. Is Kristi still in Reno? I THINK I heard that her and Edward are separated, but with everything that's gone on in the last 48 hours, WHO KNOWS what I've heard.
Going to Kohl's in a bit to get a VERY NICE outfit for Friday..don't have anything that everybody in the family hasn't seen at least three times
I HAVE SUCH A GOSH DAMN HEADACHE right now; I haven't eaten much, not sleeping well or at all, I don't think I have any tears left I've been crying so damn much; AND I'M PISSED AS HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Steph... I know EXACTLY what you mean! And the more you stress about not sleeping cuz your stressing... the less you sleep! Its a vicious cycle! HATE IT.
Hey Marci!!
Kathi - try to nap... as you have the chance. The next week will be very exhausting... cat naps will help. Hope things get better for you.
God, I swear, this has become Grand Central Station with all the flippin phone calls....just now my sister was talking to one of my mom's doctors, while, on my cell phone, I was talking to our primary doctor's (I have the same one as my parents) office, and then had to hand it off to her to answer b/c of her being POA
I know resting is good right now, but everytime I close my eyes, I see her, and that's what keeps me awake
Kathi, I am sure she is watching over ya'll, but probably wouldn't want you to be all stressed out.... it's a good thing to see her.. it should make you rest... :) :)
tina, I went and saw the pics.. they are great!
Leigh Ann, what going on with you? what's up for this weekend?
Hey girls. I didnt make it to the gym tonight. Fred had to work OT and Brenda is still gone... and since my abs and thighs are still sore from yesterday... i figured it would wait till tomorrow.
I put a few golf pics up... hope to get some volleyball pics this week so i can put those up.
I hope LA made it to Norfolk safe and sound... LeighAnn check in when you can!
Well gonna go do a load of towels. I will check back in later!
Going good... just relaxing, watching tv with MB.. did some clothes myself.. and we worked onthe pool again... Gabby had dance tonight... I have a doctor's appt tomorrow... (womanly) yuck... and a boob squeeze!!! LOL I know too much info... and then a haircut and high light... might go do my nails and toe nails as well.... :)
how long does Fred have to work? not late I hope...
they are wanting MB to go to Houston Texas to help.... ugh... I need MB here....
Hey Leigh Ann... have a safe trip! tina, I love seing all the pictures... I have ALWAYS been a picture freak.... I love seeing everyones children.... it makes me smile>>> :) when does Brenda come home...
Kathi, are you on tonight? or just quiet... thinking of you.....
LOL! One can ONLY HOPE Marci! Ha! I must now turn on this device used for taking wrinkles out of clothes and attempt to de-wrinkle my daughters golf shorts. Woe is me... as fred is the wrinkle remover in the family... all that ironing in the navy! ha
Marci, have you had a mammography before? My mother says, OMG Stephanie, it hurts SO BAD! So she is terrifying me and I am sure I am going to freak out the first time I have one...thank goodness I don't have any family history, so it's not for another 4 years until my baseline is due. But apparently I am very nodular...maybe I should have one before that. Mom has me afraid...could it hurt any worse than natural childbirth?
On a side note, I totally love Christina Applegate for being so brave.
Speaking of laundry...does anybody have any ideas how to get a set-in coffee stain out of a white cotton shirt? I have tried everything I know...damn it...
Oh yes, ladies, thanks for the well wishes for a better day today. It should be much less hectic. New client software is operational...new stuff is still coming online next Monday, though. Weee..... :)
Tina, you actually got me to chuckle with your "device for taking wrinkles out of clothes"; mind you, it wasn't a hearty belly laugh, but a chuckle at this point is good
And Marci, with your "boob squeeze"..keep 'em comin girls, it's helping me get through
I think tonight was the first time that I actually ate a full meal in two days--I would nibble, but nothing tastes that great when you're going through something like this, but tonight, I have to say, dinner was pretty good (had dinner at my brother's place and then my sil took me clothes shopping for Friday..only spent $100 for the outfit, knee-highs and shoes...at Kohl's). Tomorrow, we go to the church and talk to the priest about all that's gonna take place at the Rosary/Mass; and then I think my oldest brother is gonna beat the living snot out of the guy at the mortuary b/c he didn't do something he promised to have done by today that we need for the service, or something (I think we're gonna go all "Sopranos" on his ass); and you know what..DAMN IT; and I'm gonna mention this to my bro...I dont remember what happened (being five years ago), but that mortuary took care of my grandmother when she first passed (until we had her "driven" up to LA where she's buried) and they didn't do something that was supposed to be done, so they're already not in our good graces; THEY HAD BETTER FOLLOW THROUGH ON MY MOM'S SERVICES, OR THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE FOUR KAMHOLZS (maybe three, cuz I wouldn't be able to be polite)
If any good can come out of all this crap, it's that I haven't had a smoke in what feels like two weeks (I know it's probably been shorter, but I can't think straight)
OH, and I put off my surgery for a bit; I just felt that I couldn't physically or mentally handle a six month recovery right now; the doctor called and said he can totally accomodate that; that whenever I felt ready, to just call him and give him the "go" sign and he'll do the rest
Travel safely LA and check in when ya get there! Love you lots!
Kathi, a chuckle is a start!
Steph - mamo... depends on your pain tolerance. I have a high one, so they are not my least favorite thing. If you did natural child birth mamo's will be a PIECE OF CAKE
Hey girls... back from the gym... did 310 calories in 35 min on the eliptical - then did arms. Fred is such a good sport... he got home - changed and out the door we went. He now is in the shower and the we are gonna watch some tv.
Brenda gets home sometime tonight!!! YAY Brenda!!!
Well, we've still got some things to iron out, but things are comin together for Friday...and the numbers are gonna be astronomical (which is gonna send my dad in a frenzy!!); we've figured there's probably gonna be about 175; pretty much even as far as family vs. friends....that is a total reflection on the kind of presence Mom was
I'm muttling through, I guess; although I've been running basically on nothing but caffeine; I did take a benadryl tonight, so keep your fingers crossed that I actually get good sleep
How was the flight? Did you get in on time? How is your mom? Is she feeling better?
I cant go to the gym today as Jenna has a vb game... but im so wanting to go tomorrow!! If ya wanna watch volleyball the JV and Frosh teams start about 4:15 in the gym at MM!
Kathi - Jenna is on the Frosh team. She was very disappointed by that until their game last weekend where she was a starter and played BOTH GAMES. Where as her friend who is on JV didnt play until the 2nd half of the 2nd game... so... she is VERY glad to be on Frosh now!!
WTG Jenna :) it worked out great for her...she's shining!!
Our flights were good..and ontime...mom is still heavily medicated...scary watching her walk..she has moments where she can enjoy herself...but most times she is with her eyes closed or just there in body...they are there another week
Ok Tina....gosh tomorrow, I have to be in Solana Beach after work for some classes and then a meeting up there at 5pm...sniff sniff..what I will do for my PT is walk 2 times at work and then at night...I'll walk the neighborhood
Let me just say Miss Tina...I saw your cal burn ...310!!!!!!!! WOW!!! WTG!!! clap clap clap!!!
Well...bummer about tomorrow. Guess Fred will just have to go with me again. LOL
I obviously wont be going on Friday as I have a soccer game at 9:00.
Saturday - maybe early - since the girls have soccer that afternoon and Sunday maybe early as we have soccer in MURRIETTA for crying out loud - in the afternoon.
Leigh Ann, hoping you made it to your destination.
Steph, how old are you? if you don't mind me asking... I did my first Mamo at 36.. which was clear, so they let me go 5 years, but now I will do annually... what fun!
LOL...funny Marci :) the real age test is this...do you groan or grunt when you go from sitting to standing and vice versa LMAO!!!!!!!!
Ok Tina....I'll be ready Sat and Sun to sweat...I'm good early both days :) good night...you play at 9pm on Friday???? LOL I maybe able to go to that one.... :D
Yes Brenda! NINE freaking oclock on friday night against our arch rivals the Mommas and Papas. LA and Paul HATE the mammas and papas... lol.
If we win...we will maintain our 3rd place status. If we LOSE...ANYTHING can happen - and will depend on how Team Inferno does. That would be GREAT if you can come!!!
Saturday...I don't have a time preference to work out...whatever works for you...for Sunday...I need to be back to my house by 10am....some friends are meeting at the house at 10 and we are headed to lunch after that with them...8:30 work out??? is that too early for you on Sunday??
Hi all - I did make it and we have been very busy!!! Our flight was good...
Welcome Back, Brenda!
Tina, give that witch an elbow for me on Friday...and trip him!!! Husband and Wife on the Mommas and Popas and Tina is right, me and Paul do NOT like them!
Speaking of Stephanies age...she has a birthday this Sunday, I believe!!! One year closer to that mammo. LOL - I already have an appt for my first one:)
Kathi, stay strong, still thinking of you and your family.
Brenda, bring on the boob-squeeze jokes...then I can laugh AFTER I get it done, and hopefully it won't be that bad! :)
Marci, I am 35, for a bit longer (my birthday is September 22, which is next Monday).
Last time I was in for my yearly, my doctor said I could have one any time I like now, like you said, to get a baseline, and then they are standard with the yearly checkups after 40. When you are "lumpy" like me, it can be hard to differentiate...you just watch for new lumps, or ones that you don't feel on both sides...Ha Ha Ha! :)
Brenda, I am already with you on the groans and creaks...my knee makes a disgusting crackling sound sometimes when I bend and then stand. Could that be from running 1000 miles a week? :)
They are eight people in this conference room and I am pretty sure I am the only one blogging...LOL! One is my boss - the one I am shadowing/learning from and the others are the nurses who actually teach the course. We are basically the administrative and logistics team leaders.
Leighann!!! HI !!!!!!!! Glad all is well on the trip...sounds busy and fascinating!!! :D going home beats a helo ride...Hope you treat yourself nice for your birthday tomorrow...and then with the family :)
Steph...I'm sure your aches are for sure due to your running LOL...not age :) Forgot...you earned those :D
Happy mammos to the birthday girls!!
I must get to that game tomorrow night!!! LOL...Gosh I can't recall who those folks are....maybe once I see them, I'll remember
No birthday plans, as yet. Logistics and administration team...sounds like fun, when they are paying you for it...I have been talking logistics for weeks now with new people...frankly, I am done with the planning, and am glad to be just WORKING. No interruptions.
LOL...yes Stephanie - it is painful...we have been all over this base making sure locations, materials, people, students, etc...are ready to go at 0700. Who are you going to be working for now? You sound excited:)
Hi Brenda - and yea, you will remember that couple!
I am hoping to relax this evening after work... MB has been working until 9 or 10 every night... so I have been doing all the running.... :( I need a vacation!!!!
My computer is fried at home... I think from all the energy surges... and my work laptop is not working on my home line.. so I am thinking maybe the line if fried.....
Aw honey... are you still awake? I will call ya and keep ya compnay! I just got home from Jennas vb game. They won both. Varsity won both. JV lost both.
i'm just getting on myself... a LONG evening..... vaccummed the pool, cooked, and drank a few ... too many.,... LOL free dress day tomorrow... no uniforms for the 2 little ones... they are excited...
tina, I would LOVE to see some volleyball shots.. .the soccer ones are just incredible....
Leigh Ann, sorry your evening was boring.... MB just got home with his laptop and it works... so go figure what's going on with the other 2 computers....
Kathi, I hope you are ok.... don't take too much benedryl.... :) we love you.....
Hey all!!! :) It is a happy Thursday :D Leighann ...glad to hear you're enjoying yourself!!!!! Fascinating what you're up to...Ummm BTW...did you get a pic of you in the flight suit...even though you're not flying??? That would be such a cool shot to have :D
Tina....I must get over to your blog and check out the volleyball pics!!! I walked 3 times yesterday and will do the same today since I can't get to the gym until Sat
Marci...how goes it with your power this AM...is it all good??
YES!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEIGH ANN!!! I am soo glad i actually got to talk to you and hear your voice this morning!! You dont "sound" a year older!! HAHAHA
Im sad... fred went in early today (6am) so he could get the OT out of the way and we could go to the gym after work... he just called and they have drafted him for 2 more hours AFTER work... so he wont be home till almost 7. *sigh* I may not get to go to the gym....
Hey ya'll; I have a little time (I'm here at home, "babysitting" my dad while everyone's at the house setting up for tomorrow :( :(, so I thought I'd TRY and get my mind off of stuff and blog; guess it's working; Marci emailed me this morning; hopefully she'll give you guys an update, cuz I can't right now; I can't tell ya when I'll be back on; obviously not tomorrow :( or Saturday (that's the day we put Mom in her final resting place :( )...hopefully sometime next week, but can't make any promises..luv ya guys
Yes, I talked with Kathi this morning.... she is making it just sad with everything... her mom's sister (the one battling cancer, has had to stop her chemo b/c she is having chest pains.. her dad doesn't know everything going on, just that he has a new suit and is going to church.. so this is a huge struggle for them.... I told her we are all thinking of her and her family...
us BOOGER GIRLS "stick" together.... I know that was gross... had to lighten up the situation...
Kathi, we will be thinking of you on Friday... your battle to stay strong for yourself and your family... My God give you the strength to bury your mom and have good memories to move on with....
Thanks, girls; tomorrow is gonna be one of the hardest of my life!!
Tonight, was absolutely beautiful; we had everyone that either flew in or drove (that are staying two nights) over at Dad's house and just had a great time...kind of an "ice breaker" if you will, for tomorrow. It was so incredibly special and I'm glad that we had this special family time; we had an aunt and two cousins that we grew up with 20 minutes from us in L.A. come (aunt and one of the cousins flew in from OK; my mom's brother and Godson/nephew in from Chicago; cousins that belong to my aunt from Apple Valley; my sil's dad; three of my nieces..21 total; gonna be about 7 times that tomorrow :(
Just want to say also that I have the best "booger" friends in the world, and thank you very much for all of your support, love and prayers...sure gonna need them tomorrow; and I know each of you will be there in spirit with me
Hey Leighann... :) Hope your evening was good to you!!! What time do you head home?? BTW...I'm up 1/2 pound...gosh, considering I was in the state of "hot dishes" :) LOL Every meal..was a heavy meal!!!
Oh Leighann ;) sounds like great fun! After the airport are you and Paul stopping along the way for a picnic :D LOL ... I'm going through food detox now LOL...
Tina :) Hope your day is good!! Are you rested for tonights game?? Did you get to the gym??
that will be something to look forward to hearing/seeing LMAO!!! Can't wait Marci!!
Yes, great job Tina on getting Fred to the gym!! And you for going :) Let me know if you can go early on Sun (8:15) and early Sat..whenever it works for you, I know you are on overload this weekend...If you can't go...no prob..I'll either go there or ride my bike
It is hot during the walks and we get sweaty and sticky but I'm ok with wiping the sweat and spraying body spray...the alternative is not getting in enough exercise, so I'll get it whenever I can LOL
Ysterday was beautiful; we figured we had about 200 for the service and about 125 back at the house; and I'd say about 90% of it family
I thought yesterday was gonna be hard...HA!!!! Today's when we put Mom in her final resting place. It's starting to hit me now that we have this one final thing to do, after a week of complete chaos
Morning ladies... Well LA... We lost to Mama's and Papas and Kristi got a red card for yelling at the ref... so for playoffs next week we wont have any subs... *sigh*
Brenda and I hit the gym early...had a great cardio workout and then did arms.
Now... its soccer, dinner with the parents and then over to Brenda and Steves to "visit" - which Fred has figured means "drink beer" hahaha.

Morning Tina and Steph... lol...total mania, uh?
Good Morning Ladies....
OMG, you wouldnt believe. :)
New software installation, tons of errands this morning, typing to do on top of all, and ANSLEY IS IN A BAD MOOD.
It was one of those nights where you toss around unable to sleep, already going through your day before it happens.
Could it be MORE Monday?
Gosh I hate it when that happens...no rest!
Hi Marci!
Hi Ladies
Oh gosh, Leigh Ann, thank you so much for doing that. Is Kristi still in Reno? I THINK I heard that her and Edward are separated, but with everything that's gone on in the last 48 hours, WHO KNOWS what I've heard.
Going to Kohl's in a bit to get a VERY NICE outfit for Friday..don't have anything that everybody in the family hasn't seen at least three times
I HAVE SUCH A GOSH DAMN HEADACHE right now; I haven't eaten much, not sleeping well or at all, I don't think I have any tears left I've been crying so damn much; AND I'M PISSED AS HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Steph, you sound busy today!
I can't stand when I think about everything I need to do and toss and turn all night....
Kathi, hopefully you can rest and find some peace...
Hi all!
Steph... I know EXACTLY what you mean! And the more you stress about not sleeping cuz your stressing... the less you sleep! Its a vicious cycle! HATE IT.
Hey Marci!!
Kathi - try to nap... as you have the chance. The next week will be very exhausting... cat naps will help. Hope things get better for you.
Gonna try to get a couple more golf pics of Tia up today... :D
God, I swear, this has become Grand Central Station with all the flippin phone calls....just now my sister was talking to one of my mom's doctors, while, on my cell phone, I was talking to our primary doctor's (I have the same one as my parents) office, and then had to hand it off to her to answer b/c of her being POA
I know resting is good right now, but everytime I close my eyes, I see her, and that's what keeps me awake
Kathi,
I am sure she is watching over ya'll, but probably wouldn't want you to be all stressed out....
it's a good thing to see her.. it should make you rest... :) :)
tina, I went and saw the pics.. they are great!
Leigh Ann, what going on with you?
what's up for this weekend?
Steph, did you get your chaos under control? LOL

Can you tell I was bored without her? LOL
yes tina, I am sure you missed her tremendously.... :)
too much....
the two of you will be sore with hangovers.... LOL
LOL! One can ONLY HOPE Marci! Ha! I must now turn on this device used for taking wrinkles out of clothes and attempt to de-wrinkle my daughters golf shorts. Woe is me... as fred is the wrinkle remover in the family... all that ironing in the navy! ha
Marci, have you had a mammography before? My mother says, OMG Stephanie, it hurts SO BAD!

The new girls are a hoot!
Hi there :D
Tina, you actually got me to chuckle with your "device for taking wrinkles out of clothes"; mind you, it wasn't a hearty belly laugh, but a chuckle at this point is good

Good Morning All,
I am off to Norfolk...a little anxious...will catch up with you ladies this evening hopefully!
Have a great day!
Morning all!
Travel safely LA and check in when ya get there! Love you lots!
Kathi, a chuckle is a start!
Steph - mamo... depends on your pain tolerance. I have a high one, so they are not my least favorite thing. If you did natural child birth mamo's will be a PIECE OF CAKE
That's kinda what I thought, too, Tina.
I agree with Tina, I did natural childbirth, and I will do 6 mamo's in a row.... compared to one 8 lb baby being pulled out of "my high ya call it!"
Kathi, I agree it will be too much of an emotional rollcoaster right now.. but don't put it off too much...
Leigh Ann, drive safe... say your prayer that I sent! It was perfect.
Kathi,
if you need a little laugh, go to my blog... I posted a funny picture of Mylee...
OMG Marci! She is just adorable!!! What a riot! :o)
Wow... quiet again...
Wow Marci, all ya needed was some baby leathers and black baby shades and she'd be a biker mama
Well ladies... as soon as Fred gets home... im off to the gym. Never been THIS late... im just hoping he hasnt changed his mind... *sigh*
Hey girls... back from the gym... did 310 calories in 35 min on the eliptical - then did arms. Fred is such a good sport... he got home - changed and out the door we went. He now is in the shower and the we are gonna watch some tv.
Brenda gets home sometime tonight!!! YAY Brenda!!!
Welcome home Brenda!!
Well, we've still got some things to iron out, but things are comin together for Friday...and the numbers are gonna be astronomical (which is gonna send my dad in a frenzy!!); we've figured there's probably gonna be about 175; pretty much even as far as family vs. friends....that is a total reflection on the kind of presence Mom was
I'm muttling through, I guess; although I've been running basically on nothing but caffeine; I did take a benadryl tonight, so keep your fingers crossed that I actually get good sleep
g'night (hopefully)
Morning Ladies! Happy Wednesday!
Today is another volleyball game and this time my camera is in my purse. Lets hope that I can get a couple of pics!
good morning friends!!! I'm back to work (although the thought of calling in sick was a strong one LOL)
Tina :) hello hello!!!! Let's sweat, party and watch/play sports!!!!!!
Kathi...your mom sounded like a special lady :) just like you!! keep the faith and you'll get through it!!
Leighann....are you in Virginia now?? Thinking of you and your birthday tomorrow :D
Marci...How are you!! :) Must get to your blog and see the little one :D
Steph...oh poor sweetums...gosh...we must start sending you mammo jokes LMAO :)
Tina, Did Jenna ever make the JV team? I'm sorry if you answered this before, but with everything going on, I don't know which way is up right now
Thanks, Bren; I wish you all had met my mom
WHOOO HOOOOOO!!! BRENDA's HOME!!!! YAY YAY YAY!!
How was the flight? Did you get in on time? How is your mom? Is she feeling better?
I cant go to the gym today as Jenna has a vb game... but im so wanting to go tomorrow!! If ya wanna watch volleyball the JV and Frosh teams start about 4:15 in the gym at MM!
Kathi - Jenna is on the Frosh team. She was very disappointed by that until their game last weekend where she was a starter and played BOTH GAMES. Where as her friend who is on JV didnt play until the 2nd half of the 2nd game... so... she is VERY glad to be on Frosh now!!
WTG Jenna :) it worked out great for her...she's shining!!
Our flights were good..and ontime...mom is still heavily medicated...scary watching her walk..she has moments where she can enjoy herself...but most times she is with her eyes closed or just there in body...they are there another week
Ok Tina....gosh tomorrow, I have to be in Solana Beach after work for some classes and then a meeting up there at 5pm...sniff sniff..what I will do for my PT is walk 2 times at work and then at night...I'll walk the neighborhood
Let me just say Miss Tina...I saw your cal burn ...310!!!!!!!! WOW!!! WTG!!! clap clap clap!!!
Well...bummer about tomorrow. Guess Fred will just have to go with me again. LOL
I obviously wont be going on Friday as I have a soccer game at 9:00.
Saturday - maybe early - since the girls have soccer that afternoon and Sunday maybe early as we have soccer in MURRIETTA for crying out loud - in the afternoon.
Brenda, so good to have you back :)
Kathi, hoping you got some sleep last night.
Tina, can't wait to see some more pics...
Leigh Ann, hoping you made it to your destination.
Steph, how old are you? if you don't mind me asking... I did my first Mamo at 36.. which was clear, so they let me go 5 years, but now I will do annually... what fun!
Gosh, I feel old, when I was 36!!!! ugh!!!!!
LOL...funny Marci :) the real age test is this...do you groan or grunt when you go from sitting to standing and vice versa LMAO!!!!!!!!
Ok Tina....I'll be ready Sat and Sun to sweat...I'm good early both days :) good night...you play at 9pm on Friday???? LOL I maybe able to go to that one.... :D
Yes Brenda! NINE freaking oclock on friday night against our arch rivals the Mommas and Papas. LA and Paul HATE the mammas and papas... lol.
If we win...we will maintain our 3rd place status. If we LOSE...ANYTHING can happen - and will depend on how Team Inferno does. That would be GREAT if you can come!!!
WOW now that is a goame to see!!!
Saturday...I don't have a time preference to work out...whatever works for you...for Sunday...I need to be back to my house by 10am....some friends are meeting at the house at 10 and we are headed to lunch after that with them...8:30 work out??? is that too early for you on Sunday??
Hi all - I did make it and we have been very busy!!! Our flight was good...
Welcome Back, Brenda!
Tina, give that witch an elbow for me on Friday...and trip him!!! Husband and Wife on the Mommas and Popas and Tina is right, me and Paul do NOT like them!
Speaking of Stephanies age...she has a birthday this Sunday, I believe!!! One year closer to that mammo. LOL - I already have an appt for my first one:)
Kathi, stay strong, still thinking of you and your family.
Brenda, bring on the boob-squeeze jokes...then I can laugh AFTER I get it done, and hopefully it won't be that bad! :)
Marci, I am 35, for a bit longer (my birthday is September 22, which is next Monday).
Last time I was in for my yearly, my doctor said I could have one any time I like now, like you said, to get a baseline, and then they are standard with the yearly checkups after 40. When you are "lumpy" like me, it can be hard to differentiate...you just watch for new lumps, or ones that you don't feel on both sides...Ha Ha Ha! :)
Brenda, I am already with you on the groans and creaks...my knee makes a disgusting crackling sound sometimes when I bend and then stand. Could that be from running 1000 miles a week? :)
Hey Stephanie...I have you down for the 21st AGAIN...I guess a day early is better than a day late! I am going to change it on my calendar...
Do you have any birthday plans?
YAY LeighAnn!!! I am glad you are safe and sound. Are you having a good time and is the class/teaching as interesting as you hoped?
I will shove the ole wench into the wall HARD!!! Just for you!! As for him... If i have to have MORE bruises... I guess for you I will. hahahaha!
They are eight people in this conference room and I am pretty sure I am the only one blogging...LOL! One is my boss - the one I am shadowing/learning from and the others are the nurses who actually teach the course. We are basically the administrative and logistics team leaders.
Thanks for having my back, Tina! He is such an ASS - that guy...
Yes, this stuff is very Neat...I will miss flying in the helipcopters on Friday afternoon because I am flying home then.
I ALWAYS have your back when it comes to pushing people around LeighAnn! You know me...the meaner the better... haha.
Bummer that you will miss the helicopter...but its great you get to go home again!!!
Leighann!!! HI !!!!!!!! Glad all is well on the trip...sounds busy and fascinating!!! :D going home beats a helo ride...Hope you treat yourself nice for your birthday tomorrow...and then with the family :)
Steph...I'm sure your aches are for sure due to your running LOL...not age :) Forgot...you earned those :D
Happy mammos to the birthday girls!!
I must get to that game tomorrow night!!! LOL...Gosh I can't recall who those folks are....maybe once I see them, I'll remember
No birthday plans, as yet. Logistics and administration team...sounds like fun, when they are paying you for it...I have been talking logistics for weeks now with new people...frankly, I am done with the planning, and am glad to be just WORKING. No interruptions.
LOL...yes Stephanie - it is painful...we have been all over this base making sure locations, materials, people, students, etc...are ready to go at 0700. Who are you going to be working for now? You sound excited:)
Hi Brenda - and yea, you will remember that couple!
I will talk to you about the new job after Monday, which is technically my first day...I don't want to jinx it.
Well I am so old, my bladder did not hold when I read all of your posts!!!
LMAO
I also crick and creak... hardly can move in the morning!
All the birthdays this month!!!!!
Happy Girls!!!!!
Leigh Ann, I would be pissed if I missed the helicopter ride! WOW...
Ask them for a rain check.
Good luck Tina on your game tonight.... when you shove the wench, have Brenda on standby with the camera for the blog...

Im sad... fred went in early today (6am) so he could get the OT out of the way and we could go to the gym after work... he just called and they have drafted him for 2 more hours AFTER work... so he wont be home till almost 7. *sigh* I may not get to go to the gym....
:( awe Tina....

I wont ask him to go at 7... he will be all worn out.

Hey ya'll; I have a little time (I'm here at home, "babysitting" my dad while everyone's at the house setting up for tomorrow :( :(, so I thought I'd TRY and get my mind off of stuff and blog; guess it's working; Marci emailed me this morning; hopefully she'll give you guys an update, cuz I can't right now; I can't tell ya when I'll be back on; obviously not tomorrow :( or Saturday (that's the day we put Mom in her final resting place :( )...hopefully sometime next week, but can't make any promises..luv ya guys
Yes, I talked with Kathi this morning.... she is making it just sad with everything...
her mom's sister (the one battling cancer, has had to stop her chemo b/c she is having chest pains..
her dad doesn't know everything going on, just that he has a new suit and is going to church.. so this is a huge struggle for them....
I told her we are all thinking of her and her family...
us BOOGER GIRLS "stick" together....
I know that was gross...
had to lighten up the situation...
WE LOVE YOU KATHI!
Kathi, we will be thinking of you on Friday... your battle to stay strong for yourself and your family...
My God give you the strength to bury your mom and have good memories to move on with....
Love you girl!
Marci
thanks Marci for that update on Kathi...my gosh...so much to deal with all at once...
Kathi...my heart does go out to you...I offer just what Marci said...and we are here for you!!
Love and hugs!
Thanks, girls; tomorrow is gonna be one of the hardest of my life!!
Tonight, was absolutely beautiful; we had everyone that either flew in or drove (that are staying two nights) over at Dad's house and just had a great time...kind of an "ice breaker" if you will, for tomorrow. It was so incredibly special and I'm glad that we had this special family time; we had an aunt and two cousins that we grew up with 20 minutes from us in L.A. come (aunt and one of the cousins flew in from OK; my mom's brother and Godson/nephew in from Chicago; cousins that belong to my aunt from Apple Valley; my sil's dad; three of my nieces..21 total; gonna be about 7 times that tomorrow :(
Just want to say also that I have the best "booger" friends in the world, and thank you very much for all of your support, love and prayers...sure gonna need them tomorrow; and I know each of you will be there in spirit with me
Kathi - yes, we are all there in spirit and will be thinking of you today and tomorrow for sure!
Happy Friday Girls!
Hey Leighann... :) Hope your evening was good to you!!! What time do you head home?? BTW...I'm up 1/2 pound...gosh, considering I was in the state of "hot dishes" :) LOL Every meal..was a heavy meal!!!
Kathi...thinking of you today~
to our other friends....HELLO!!!
Fly out at four and arrive at six! I bought a SUPER SEXY outfit...
1/2 a pound is pretty good considering where you have been:)
Happy Friday everyone!
I am so glad you get to go home tonight LeighAnn!
Brenda!!! I would say 1/2 lb is not bad for being on vacation!!
Oh Leighann ;) sounds like great fun! After the airport are you and Paul stopping along the way for a picnic :D LOL ... I'm going through food detox now LOL...
Tina :) Hope your day is good!! Are you rested for tonights game?? Did you get to the gym??
A "picnic" on the way home! LOL that is what the two of them need!
Have a great flight this evening!
Brenda, 1/2 lb is not bad for vacation week is right!
Good morning everyone!
Hi Marci :) Hope your day is good and goes quick so you can enjoy your weekend!!
OMG....

Can't wait Marci!!
Yes, great job Tina on getting Fred to the gym!! And you for going :) Let me know if you can go early on Sun (8:15) and early Sat..whenever it works for you, I know you are on overload this weekend...If you can't go...no prob..I'll either go there or ride my bike
It is hot during the walks and we get sweaty and sticky but I'm ok with wiping the sweat and spraying body spray...the alternative is not getting in enough exercise, so I'll get it whenever I can LOL
Yes Marci... I hope you will have mike standing behind you to take a picture to capture the looks on all of their faces!!! OMG that would be funny!!!
Brenda - we will shoot for 8:15 on sunday... :D
Marci...you will make "funny" history on this if MB can get it on digital :) Can't wait!!!!!!!

I am like coming unglued trying to get this done...
May go visit in Kentwood tomorrow... Mike is going to the camp for the weekend... that's when we do some visiting...

:)
Yet another one of my "three hour nights"....
Ysterday was beautiful; we figured we had about 200 for the service and about 125 back at the house; and I'd say about 90% of it family
I thought yesterday was gonna be hard...HA!!!! Today's when we put Mom in her final resting place. It's starting to hit me now that we have this one final thing to do, after a week of complete chaos
Kathi, you are blessed to have such an extended family. I know that must help, when things get tough. I hope all goes well for you today!
Morning ladies...
Well LA... We lost to Mama's and Papas and Kristi got a red card for yelling at the ref... so for playoffs next week we wont have any subs... *sigh*
Brenda and I hit the gym early...had a great cardio workout and then did arms.
Now... its soccer, dinner with the parents and then over to Brenda and Steves to "visit" - which Fred has figured means "drink beer" hahaha.
I hope you all have a great weekend.
OH LA...im down 1/2 a pound.
