Girl, you put things in perspective.
Did you hear that? That's the sound of me putting on my big girl panties.
I'm so sorry. I hope things get better. Sometimes I hate insurance companies.
Physically I've been having a rough time taking care of my little man. I had 2 epidural injections this month. I will be trying something new in a couple of weeks. Radio Frequency which will go in & burn the nerves!! Sounds scary, but if it works well for be I'd could have a lot less pain for 6 mos to a year at a time. With the time increasing after a few treatments. We'll see.
Hi, everyone! I'm home for a couple of days! Thank you all for your prayers and good wishes for my dad! We truly felt them! He was blessed beyond belief!!! The doctor was able to place a stent in the artery that was 99% blocked, but not the artery that is 70% blocked. That will have to wait for next month. So far, so good. Dad is feeling much better. Just having no chest pain is a huge relief. I didn't realize that he'd been experiencing chest pain for about a month. He self-diagnosed it (with wikipedia's help) as pleurisy. No more internet for him! By the time I left to come home, he was able to do almost everything for himself. The only thing that really frustrates him is that he tires out easily. Just walking from his bedroom to the kitchen wears him out! I told him he needs to let his body rest, as that will aid in the healing, but he just wants to be back to normal. It doesn't help that this is his busiest time of year. The acting company will be arriving for the summer next week, and he's usually the one greeting everybody, and getting them all geared up for the summer. Well, I don't think that will happen this year.

Marisa what kind of books are you most into reading. Besides those Grey books you got me hooked into

Goofy: Are you feeling any better? I wish you could stay home and rest!
I have a question for everyone. I am looking for books to read. I have lots of them on my nook, but I am not sure what to choose next. (PS. I have 4800 of them) So I thought if anyone has read some really great books they could share and help Nan and I figure out what to read next. THANKS!!
Im going to Red Robin with Kady, Nan and the girls tonight. Wish me luck!!!
Jen- What does the Dr say? You have been feeling lousy for a while now.
SO I talked to Welby yesterday and I guess I was the last one to see that I was falling apart. She and Brian have been waiting for me to bring it up, Brian told Welby he thought I was starting to get worn down. She has a friend who was a Nanny and whose children are the same age so they are talking terms. Buddy is very conflicted. He knows it is hard on me but he is worried the change will not be good for the girls. A few months ago I would have worried about my little Nervous Nellie Nola but she has been coming out of her shy little shell. I am not going anywhere so we can have all the Nana Days we all want and I can always take them if they are ill and cannot go to their new daycare but I am still a little sad.
Nola has been singing the Robin Hood Song:
Robin Hood and Little John
Walkin' through the forest
Laughin' back and forth
At what the other'ne has to say
Reminiscin', This-'n'-thattin'
Havin' such a good time
Oo-de-lally, Oo-de-lally
Golly, what a day
all day long and she really knows the words, even though they are a little garbled at times SHe has this husky scratchy little voice so she has had me smiling all day!
And Aimee...thought I quoted you. It's the Salado Creek Winery & Vineyard: Lone Star Lime. OMG. It's available online too.
And I sound like Demi Moore/James Earl Jones. It is not cute.
Morning, all. I'm spending today, getting all my Scouting things in order. I made the decision, last week, that I need to give up being the Webelos den leader.
I brought Yoda back to the vet today because his UTI hasn't gone away. Turns out he has stones in his bladder and they cant be dissolved by medication or food. So he needs surgery. I feel so bad for him (

I REALLY think it'd be good for you to not be the primary caregiver, even though I know you'll feel lost at first. Think of how much more fun it'll be for them to come spend time with you! It'll be a special occasion! AND you'll have more time to do other things, rest, and take care of yourself. Plus the girls will probably LOVE having playmates. Kids are very resilient - I wouldn't worry about them adjusting! It's the adults that don't deal well...
I haven't been to the doc this go round. The problem is that we keep passing around germies to each other. Again and again and again. Not. fun.
UncleR made us dinner tonight because I couldn't even do that. You KNOW Jen is sick when I can't even cook.
Hope everyone else is well!
