[faerywings]

helllloooooOOOO my O-Fam! Happy Tuesday that feels like Monday! But I am happy happy happy!
The kids got an awesome report from the doctor!!!! He is reducing the maintenance doses of bx even more, and we go back in 4 months. If they stay symptom-free, and their blood work doesn't show any changes, they will be off meds!!!! Yahooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If this happens, and I am really thinking it will-- it will almost 5 long years since we started this path and boy it will be great to see it end positively! I am way better than I was 5 years ago too. Now if we can just get Gary's health to turn for the better. The kids dr asked about his treatment and said that hopefully in another couple of months, he might to see a change for the better. *fingers crossed*

I am babysitting/work/cleaning here today, Fun fun! But its a quick week so I plan to make it a good one too.

Tip on Tuesday
I cannot say it enough-- take garlic pills for colds! Both kids have terrible colds, and Cait and I had to sleep on the pullout couch Sunday. I have been taking gobs of garlic pills, and so far, no cold germs on me!

Nana-- sounds like your body needs that sleep! So happy that you were able to take a nap. How is Jaid-a-bug feeling today? Hope she is better.

Laurie- I hear ya on the brrrrrrrrrr weather! So cold and rainy here!

Linda S- did you survive Monday? I am not sure if its good to get all of that running over and done with on Mondays or if it would be better to ..... well, not have to run that much at all. Bet the kids were very happy to sleep in!


Phyllis you have us beat here with the cold, we are only at 40*. It just feels colder to me, cuz I am a big old baby with cold weather.
Hope that you had a successful day out and about!

Jen- how was your Thanksgiving? I cannot imagine the amounts of food your family must have to cook for get togethers LOL I bet the time together is fun and loud and crazy and joyful!

Terry- ugh, what a day/week! Calming thoughts being sent your way!

Terry. my advice is to get all these men in the same room and smack them silly. then lock them in there for an indefinite period time. :eyebrows:

ha! if only....

i can't believe that the refrigerator guys wouldn't be sent back to make it right. i would be all over that company like a bad mood. want me to come over and yell at them?? :becky:

Linda, every day i wake up thinking: THIS is the day i eat very little and start losing the weight. and it lasts until 3 p.m.-ish, when i am ALWAYS ravenously hungry and realize that i have to wait until after 6 to eat dinner. sigh....:hurt:

Chris, this is amazing news for you and the kiddos. i hope they're able to get rid of the meds altogether soon. you really are just the best mom. :first: you CARE, above everything else. and you always act on the caring.

me? hmmm. well, it's freezing again here. i think it's 30 at the moment. it feels like it's about 50 inside the house. i have to do grocery shopping and then drive over to a stamping store in the area to see if i can find some blank cards and envelopes. i'm making an invite to my Aunt's 80th birthday dinner and want to find something colorful. i haven't been there for a while. i hope it's still in business!! then i have to seal the grout i fixed in the kitchen. then do some laundry. i might go to Whole Foods just to improve my mood as i wander through the aisles of perfectly stacked produce.

happy Tuesday! do something you love.

Good morning ladies... a bit cooler here this morning too, but we are breaking warm temps during the day, still no rain and it feels more like August than October!! Spent a wonderful day with my DS hiking up the mountain yesterday! Not a lot of talking until the decent down (we were huffing and puffing too much!!) We had a great time, it was a perfect day and so nice that we got this special time together!! He will no doubt be glad to be back home with his wife and babies, but we are sure blessed to have had him for this visit!! Off to work for a short 4hrs today then home in time to say goodbye to our Jason and hopefully some time to scrap today!

Chris - I am over the moon happy for you and your kiddos!! :dance: How great will it be for them to finally be off the meds!!! Keeping my fingers crossed for you and Gary too!! I am going to have to try those garlic pills of yours, I really would like to not get a cold this fall!!

Phylis - You will have to let us see the invite you make, that is if your store is still open for business when you get there!! There is a scrapbooking store not far from where I live, but I really don't know how it stays in business, I hardly ever see any cars parked outside the store. :noidea:

Well better get my butt in the shower and start to get ready for the day! Hubby is off to the Mainland this afternoon for a two day course, so I will have the house to myself until Thursday night, hooray for me time :becky: Have a lovely day everyone!! :wave:

Good morning O' family!

Chris--wonderful news at getting a good report from the doctor!

Phyllis--come on over and chew on them a bit!

The refrigerator saga--Craig couldn't get the stupid line hooked up so it didn't leak. Called the plumber last night. Hopefully he will come this morning and hook the dang thing up. REally trying not to get stressed over this---I Just hate it when things just don't go right. KWIM.

I did talk the boss into not having an Emergency meeting this week and postponed it until the end of the month. Gives me a little breathing room for this week.

To help out with the breathing room I decided to take Friday off! Actually, dear hubby was asked to golf in a benefit golf tournament on Friday. They had one more person drop off the team and asked me! I think I was the last straw---I'm not a good golfer--and they couldn't find anyone else. So, the plan is to take the motorhome to the coast on Thursday night--golf on Friday--then relax for the weekend. At least that is the plan as of today. You know how plans go...........could change any minute.

I did get one LO done last night for the class I'm taking. One more to go. Trying to squeese that one in tonight after work.

Speaking of work--need to get after it.

Later.
