[SnowflakeMom]

Everyone have a wonderful evening.
I'm not sure if I'll make it back on before we leave for Hawaii - it's going to be a busy few day!!
Everyone, stay safe, happy, healthy & I'll see you all when I get back!!! I'll be keeping you all in my thoughts & prayers & I'll miss ya'll!!!

Have a wonderful trip!!

I want to share a post by LittleCS (with her permission) from her face book page. Please pray for her and me too as we wait for the results to come in...

For those of you who read my update about my specialist appointment in London on Monday...and I said about being tested for essential Thrombocytosis and you don't know what that is...I looked it up and here is what it is:
Essential thrombocytosis (ET; also known as essential thrombocythemia, essential thrombocythaemia, primary thrombocytosis) is a rare chronic blood disorder characterised by the overproduction of platelets by megakaryocytes in the bone marrow.[1] It may, albeit rarely, develop into acute myeloid leukaemia or myelofibrosis.[1] It is one of four myeloproliferative disorders (disorders characterised by increased production of a particular line of blood cell).
Scarry stuff huh? but I'm trusting God with it and know that He is in charge and will always be with me, even right now when I am kind of worried after reading that I may end up having myeloid leukaemia (I hope that doesn't happen, though)
I'm putting all this in God's hands and praying that it isn't going to be that bad.
It hardly ever is bad.
The doctor said that they want to eliminate this from the possibilities of what might be the problem.
The past few years it seems like it has been one rough thing after another but I keep smiling and day after day, I Keep on Fighting!!
I will update you when I hear more about what is going on. Also, thank you for those of you who are praying for me!
Hugs, Lisa

Sending prayers for you and Little CS!

Carolina seems to be getting sick. She was acting fine but her cheeks were very red and flushed. My mom tried to take her temperature after she picked her up from my cousin, but a fit ensued so it didn't get taken til almost bed time. I'm hoping it is down by morning. If not a trip to the pediatrician or urgent care will be in our future.

I hope everyone is having a great relaxing night. Keeping everyone in my prayers

Hope she feels better...there is so much sickness going around!

Good morning ~
Merry Friday!
Just had Maggie in the back yard, it's chilly out there. It's going to be partly sunny with highs near 34, we're currently at 25 degrees. I'm going to wait a bit before we head out for a walk. Hopefully the sun will be shining!
Seems like a few of us have been dealing with a lot of things lately. I know it's been one thing after another for my family so far in 2017. I would appreciate if you could send up a prayer for me, I'm going for a thyroid biopsy this afternoon. I'm sure everything will be alright but waiting for those results can be nerve wracking! I'm keeping positive thoughts, hoping all the sickness and other health issues will be behind us.
Please know all of you are always in my thoughts and prayers <3
I hope everyone has a nice day and a wonderful weekend ahead!
xx

Prayers for you, HMG!
Enjoy your Friday.

Happy Friday All!! Not too much planned at all this weekend. My Dad is coming over tomorrow for lunch and cake for his birthday (it is on the 7th). Not sure if we are going to cook lunch or probably just get pizza...
On Sunday we are headed to our friend's house for a Super Bowl Party and I just need to bring my Buffalo Chicken Dip so that is easy enough.
Hope you all have a great Friday!

 

[Yuletide Junkie]

Me too! I am edging closer to starting my veggie plants indoors for summer.

Indoor veggie plants, pitchers/catchers reporting to Spring Training, etc. help us get through Winter with our Christmas spirit in tact.

I hope she feels better soon. My little girl was throwing up yesterday, today she seems a bit better. It's that yucky time of year.

Good Morning, Fellow Christmas Appreciators and Seekers.

Seek and ye shall find.
The next Milestone Marker, that is.
And it's coming up soon!

Days to the Season: 283
Days to Christmas Day: 325

And say now. Are we really down to SINGLE DIGITS to the 1/4 point to Christmas Season 2017?
Well, is 9 a single digit number?
(The question has just been answered.)


Our last really nice day is behind us and colder weather will now be the norm for a while. Limited precipitation prediction, however, makes it much easier to take.
This morning has commenced rather overcast at 40 degrees here in the capital city.
(And it looks like we may get some rain after all!)


Have a Fulfillilngly Fabulous Friday, Friends.
For it is Weekend Eve once again!

Thxs Crown!!

[missiechick]

Morning and TGIF! Hope everyone is ready for Superbowl Weekend. I am glad that I took off Monday coming up. I always love 3 day weekends. They are the best to me. What's everyone got planned? This week seemed a little quicker than I thought it would. But I'm glad it's Friday. Besides my little Superbowl party Sunday I'm planning on getting my taxes done, errands and of course trying to relax some. I may go to the mall on Monday. The mall always makes me think of the Christmas season no matter what time of year I go there. Hope you all have a great Friday!

I feel the same way about the mall. I think it is all the smells, I love it! Sounds fun, Edge, have a great weekend!

 

[missiechick]

Good Morning Edge. My time off will also go through Monday and I will be doing the same and that is getting everything done that needs to be done before the 5th. Most of which is simply to finish cleaning the house and buy a couple of things for Sunday (there is a sale on wings and meatballs at HyVee).
Enjoy...

Prayers for you, HMG!
Enjoy your Friday.

Thank you! It seems like everyone I know is getting sick

I hope she feels better soon. My little girl was throwing up yesterday, today she seems a bit better. It's that yucky time of year.

Thank you missiechick! I'm glad your daughter is feeling better. I wish I could just put her in a bubble to all the sickness passes. Thankfully no stomach bug for us

 

[nmc42088]

Carolina seems to be much better today. Thank you for all the prayers and well wishes for her.
Tomorrow is dress shopping for bridesmaid dresses for my best friends wedding. I had already decided not to bring Carolina along and made sure Mike didn't mind if he had her while I was shopping. He other 2 bridesmaids are bringing there 3 year olds with them. I am not sure how they will be able to try on dresses and mind their toddlers at the same time.

Have a great Saturday everyone

As you remain in the thoughts and prayers of all the MMC community, I know how much closer you are to the one who holds you in the palm of His hand.
My prayers continue for you and your family...

Hoping that the exam and following results go well Holiday, keeping you in my thoughts. Try and enjoy your day and weekend coming up, despite the stress. Hugs from Loki and me

My thoughts and prayers are on the way, HMG.

My goodness! I know it's scary, but stay positive. Sending prayers for you!!

I sent up a quick prayer.
I'm going to be in your position next week, so I understand the nerves.

Prayers for you, HMG!
Enjoy your Friday.

Keeping you in my prayers

Thank you so much ~
All is well! The doctor didn't even have to do the biopsy. Apparently there is a portion of the esophagus that can mimic a thyroid lesion. The second sonogram showed that everything is normal. I'm so relieved. Thanks again for the prayers, you guys are the best <3

 

[CGYager]

Love me some meatballs!!

Hi there Missiechick. Here is a plate that I did with BBQ sauce and wrapped in Bacon...

 

[CGYager]

Good Morning MMC !!

best sleep I have had in a long time, I feel really good for a change.
Got supper ready and in the slow cooker ( layered pasta sauce loaded with vegies and meatballs in a seasoned tomato sauce)
Off to work in a half hour.
hope your days are great !!!

Good Morning (next day) Christmasstar. It's always nice to get that really deep sleep now and then, glad you had yours. I need to use my slow cooker more often. I enjoy it, the problem is, I never seem to know what I want until I get up for work. Hope that day went well and this one is even better...

 

[CGYager]

I don't usually involve myself in ball games, but since it's the Superbowl, and since one of the teams is from Georgia...

GO FALCONS!!

I'm with you on this one Brad...
