Good morning MMC! Monday again! But it is a Happy Monday b/c I have the day off work! I originally took off to either stay with Mom or to go get Emma (the Amish lady) - but my sis ended up spending that night at her daughters house in Ft. Wayne last night so she picked Emma up on her way home this morning! My oldest sis spent the night at Moms last night so she was there with her this morning. I thought about going into work, but I already had it in my brain that I was going to be off today, so Wahooo - I'm not working today!

I had a great 24 hours with Mom...it went SO fast. I wanted another 24 hours!! How relaxing. LOL! Knocking on wood, she is doing really well. We are going to call her cardiologist today b/c her BP is SO low & she is SO tired. We think he needs to adjust her meds.
On a sad note, we lost my SIL over the weekend. She passed away around 3:30 am Friday night/Saturday morning. Her nurse had been in her room several times that night & had conversation with her. Said she seemed to be doing better. But when she walked in at 3:30 am. Jackie was peacefully gone. It's so sad, but I truly feel it is a blessing. This is what she wanted. No more pain - just too young!

On a happier note, my niece (my Goddaughter) got engaged over the weekend, while on vacation in Colorado...at the top of the mountain! SOOOOO excited for them!

Everyone, enjoy your Monday! I'm going to see if I can get caught up here!

I'm so sorry for your loss, Holiday. Praying for your family during this difficult time.
I know you're relieved she is at peace, now. Hugs, love and strength being sent your way.

I'm so happy to hear that your Mom had a good weekend. Fingers crossed that once her meds are adjusted, she'll get some energy back. Continued prayers.

Congrats to your niece!

Enjoy your day off~

I'm glad to hear your mom is doing well. I hope they can adjust her medicine as soon as possible so she's not so tired.
I'm so sorry to hear about your SIL. I will keep all of you in my prayers (((hugs)))
Congratulations to your niece!
Enjoy your day off <3

Funny b/c the neighbors at the lake - the wife is originally from Alabama & her kids call me "Miss Angie" but Jim is just Jim. LOL! And they always called our neighbor Deb "Mrs. Deb"....but she is the only one who isn't married. Always made us laugh!

Well, I actually call Mrs. Hilda, "Miss" Hilda, but, come to think of it, I never actually pronounce Mrs. with anyone.

Considering that, what is the full spelling of the abbreviation "Mrs."? Missus (which I think is a southern thang), Mistress, ...?

I bet MerryCarey knows.

Thanks Snowflake. The veterinarian said there are anxiety medications but I'm just not sure if I should take that route. There are side effects and she's already dealing with so much from the collapsing trachea and chronic coughing. I've even thought about getting another dog to keep her company but I'm scared, God forbid it backfires on me and ends up stressing her out even more. I'm just taking it day by day.



Praying hard for all of you as well ♥



Happy Monday Snowflake, hope you have a beautiful day!

{{{hugs}}} and continued prayers for you & Maggie <3

Thank you~

Hope you have a beautiful day, too!

Good Monday morning, and Happy Milestone Day, my Christmas friends!

What a crazy weekend! Nancy was still sick most of the weekend, so I ran all the errands and took Elizabeth everywhere she needed to be.

We spent most of the weekend trying to get a good picture of Jacob with his car and a guitar for the school yearbook. Today is the deadline. The seniors get a full page dedicated to each student, and we've already sent baby pictures and other favorites, but there is supposed to be one big background picture. I couldn't get the right picture, but the yearbook teacher-guy said I could try again today. Nice!

I hope y'all have a great day!

Did I read that right? You have NEVER had the flu before?? Hope you are feeling better & you never get it again! (that is amazing!)

Thanks Holiday, I hope I never get it again too!

Thank you~

Hope you have a beautiful day, too!

Thank you ♥

Sorry to hear that Nancy is still under the weather. Continued prayers for her!
I bet the photo you took of Jacob looks great! What an exciting time for him.
I'm sure it is bittersweet for you.
Hope you have a great start to your week =)

Good morning everyone, Happy Milestone Day!
I'm feeling better today, still very tired though. It's so weird, I feel like I'm moving in slow motion. I don't like it. I have to go to the bank but I'm going to the drive through so I don't even have to get out of the car. Today I just want to get a couple of loads of laundry done and make a pot of chicken soup for dinner. I hope everyone has a nice day

Hey Brad. Do they get to write messages and stuff in their yearbook? That's how we used to do it "back in the day..."

Hope you keep feeling better HMG. Don't overdo it today. You don't want to have a setback.

No tears in my daughter's knee...it's a growth plate irritation. She's got a different brace that locks so she'll be able to bend her knee a bit, but not too far. She has another appointment in 2 weeks for a checkup. She can have the brace off if she's resting, but needs it on when she's moving around and needs to continue to use the crutches and cannot put weight on her leg. I was worried that she did something to her ligaments so I am relieved that there'll be no surgery. She still wants to play sports and while she's upset that she won't be able to play basketball for her school, she's happy that she'll most likely be able to play soccer (her favorite) next quarter. She was worried that she may have had to miss playing sports the rest of the school year. Seeing her in so much pain while they were checking the strength of her knee made me almost physically sick. But for how she went into the boards and hurt herself and with her knee being so sensitive to the touch, I couldn't have asked for a better diagnostic.

Glad to hear there is no tear. Hope she is doing well!! xx

Morning Festive...I took meds earlier and so far so good...Thanks for the remedy though i will keep that in mind..Hows your little boy now Festive...Hope he is feeling much better now...Enjoy your weekend ahead Festive

Have you tried apple cider vinegar? 1 tsp. before a meal - or mix 1-3 tsp in water & drink with a meal. They say it's amazing for heart burn/reflux issues!

 

[Holiday]

So glad you are feeling better. My youngest is doing a lot better on the inhalers. It has made such a difference. We are seeing the Dr on Friday for another assessment. He has been playing more and sleeping a lot better. It is such a relief. Thanks you so much for asking.

So happy to hear he is doing better!! Hope the next apt goes well!! xx
