This friend is here for you with a big hug!!

Safe travels to Kaitlyn. Did she get over her Valley Fever? I know you raised her right, and she is going to go out, and be just fine. But, I know you'll worry, as all moms do!

And, best of luck to your other baby, on their baby! You're gonna be a Grandma, again! That's so awesome. What a blessed family you have.

Thanks Beth! I need all the hugs i can get.

No, she is really not done with the Valley Fever. It is one of those things that takes time to heal all the way. She has a 3 month supply of medicine, and if need be, we will send her more. The good thing she has going, is that she is young, and is healing along just fine. For the first 3 months in Australia she will just be in discipleship training. If she feels up to it, she also has the opportunity to learn how to surf and scuba dive. And she can back off on that if need be. Now doesn't that sound hard? Especially in a town called Surfer's Paradise. LOL!

It is the next 3 months after, when hiking into the boondocks, that she needs to be strong and healthy. We bought her a good backpack that will have everything she needs in it to live. Sleeping bag, pillow, mattress, towels and so on. So thank goodness, she has time to get better and better before she goes out, into who knows where.

It's going to be a great experience for her. I just need to keep reminding myself of that fact and keep praying that she will be just fine and in God's hands no matter what.

But the moment she gets home, and sets foot on good ole American soil again, I am going to be one very happy mother hen!!!!!!

Mel I can only imagine not seeing your baby for 6 long months. I would def have a hard time with that as well! But I know she is going to have an amazing time and make great memories and hopefully it will go by quick!

And congrats again on the new grandbaby. How exciting!!

Wow! That is VERY cool!! What is this for? -sorry, I'm still new I hope she feels better soon!!

[cittycat]

I get my car back from the shop today. YAY!! We drove to Walla Walla (about a 5 hour drive from where I live) for my mom's birthday over the weekend & as I pulled into the driveway on Sunday night I heard some horrible noises. The wheel bearing went out on my front tire. SOOO Thankful it didn't happen as we were coming down the pass on the way home!

Cannot wait to get my name for the Halloween Exchange!! After I get my car we get to go shopping! There is SO much cute stuff out for Halloween already!!

I am now caught up on all of the posts...wow! A lot going on!!! I hope everyone & their families are well (& healing)...sending lots of thoughts & prayers to everyone!!

[sierranevada]

Mel - stay strong! She is going to have a great adventure down! And congrats on another grand baby! Best wishes to you and your family today!

So, I have been having back issue/plantar fasciitis problems for quite some time. The PF problems seem to be mostly done but when my back acts up, it flairs up. Well I noticed with all my traveling this summer that my back (and PF) felt great after staying in all the hotels. Get home, and it starts bugging me again. Finally figured out - I think it is my bed!!! It is only 5 years old, a top of the line pillow top but it is already losing support! Went to the store yesterday thinking I was just going to have to bite the bullet and buy a new one and the salesman told me to first call customer service. Apparently my mattress has a 20 year warranty!! Let's just hope this warranty isn't something that is easy for the company to get out of. I have since learned that I should not have bought a pillow top - while the underlying mattress may still be good, the pillow top itself breaks down. And with this type, you can not flip it. I have been rotating it head to foot which give temporary relief. So heres hoping customer service comes through.

Our picnic season is running strong through September and early October but we are starting to slow down - which is a good thing!

Can't wait to see some Diva's later this month for our "mini meet"!

Happy Hump Day ladies!

Mel! I am sure she will have a blast. Hey...maybe she will find Nemo

Bridget~ I hope customer service pulls through and you get a new mattress. Back pain is no fun.

Well, the school day is about to start...better log off and let my students in the room. We are watching Twilight Zone today and it makes me think about TOT

[kelmac284]

Oh my gosh Bridget it sounded like you were talking about MY life! I have horrible sciatic pains and other back/leg pains that drive me nuts. When my ex was deployed to Iraq I thought I was doing a good thing and we bought one of those pillow tops as well. Mine too is only about 5 years old and was also a pillow top. It was SO nice and fluffy when I first bought it and now the stupid thing is not only squished down but there is literally a hole where most of my body weight is. I have to sleep sitting almost completely sitting up most of the time because of migraines and stomach issues.

For me though it is not worth getting another one like what I had. I really want to get a tempurpedic so I am saving for that. I hope you have good luck with yours. There is nothing worse then going to bed and waking up feeling WORSE than when you went to bed.

[mommaU4]

Good morning, ladies!

Happy Hump Day!
Tonight is back to school night for Lindsey and Hannah. Looking forward to that. It's always fun to see what's in store for them for the school year. Although, thank goodness I am not in school anymore. The stuff they are learning in 7th grade, I'm pretty sure I didn't learn until senior year of high school!

Have a great day.

Wow, what an adventure! I didn't realize Valley Fever took so long to recover from. But, sounds like she's all set with her meds.
Will she have a way to contact you once she starts the backpacking portion of her journey? I'll have to Google Surfer's Paradise to see where that is. Sounds like the first three months are going to awesome!

Ugh, I hate car problems. Glad it's all taken care of.

The names go out later this morning! We have a good sized group of exchangers this time. I'm excited. I've seen some really cute Halloween items at Micheals, and Target. My Walmart has been slow getting it out this year, but they usually have fun stuff, and Walgreens sometimes has some cute items as well.

Hope you can get a new mattress soon so you can start to feel better. Otherwise, you might just have to keep going on vacations and staying in hotels.

Can't wait to see you later this month!

I love Twilight Zone. My favorite is the bank robber who dies and goes to what he thinks is Heaven, but in fact it turns out he's in Hell. Love it.

I know how you feel! When Christine went to Uganda, I felt the same way! And it was hard to talk on the phone because of the delay. We did use our computer cameras alot, I think with yahoo messenger. Even that's hard to do with the time change.

Surfer's Paradise is just south of Brisbane, we were there for a day, it is beautiful! And definitely a Surfer's Paradise. The sand is nice, the waves are big, and it should be warmer than when we were there, although that didn't stop DH from snorkeling. Up in Brisbane, there is the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary where we got to hold a koala bear. Very cool, lots of animals to see. If you check out the pictures on my Facebook, there are some of both places.

I also have PF!! Never thought about it being the bed though, and we have the same type as you have. I'm going to CVS to get a brace that they have, one to wear during the day and one to wear at night, hope this doesn't affect our MouseAdventure too much!! (Did you get the shirt and pictures I sent?)
