It seems that the worst is over...she still has headaches on a daily basis but they are not severe...she doesn't take any med's for them...she wasn't telling us about the headaches at first afraid we would not allow her to go to school and take part in her extra activities I noticed she wasn't feeling the best last week and that when she told me she has been getting them everyday at school.

Sorry to hear she still has headaches. Poor girl, not telling you like that.
I can understand though, kids think like that.

well at least they are not severe. Maybe her meds would take care of the headaches completely if she were to take them. That would make school easier for her not to be in pain.

Hopefully soon they will be all gone soon

Usually when something odd like that happens he had an underlying condition.
sometimes it is a heart attack or stroke and then they cant swim properly and drown.

Kathy

That's what I first though... is if he had a heart attack?!

Hi Jaime, sorry to hear she is still having headaches. I hope they go away soon.

It is usually that kind of thing. Of course they will do an autopsy to find out for sure.
It can happen at any age.

Thats one of the ressons they say to snorkel with a buddy close by, if he sees anything unusual they can help you faster, so perhaps they wont drown.But if a heart attack kills you first it wont matter.

sorry for his family, what a terrible thing to happen to them.

Jiame,
love all those bright bananas this morning

Dawn,
Greg likes the white meat best , although he likes legs and they are dark. I think he just likes them because they are easy to eat.
Usually I fix him a 6 oz breast and one leg and then one extra breast for the dogs to share.

I wasnt kidding when I once said, 99% of the time they each get a mini dinner of the same foods as Greg At least I dont have lot of left overs that way.

They just sit there starring the entire time I am cooking, then run to greet greg when he pulls in. after that they run and sit by the table, just salavating waiting for dinner.

If he is eating something they cant have, I have to fix them a fat free hot dog that is cut up in bite size pieces for him to feed them, or a toasted piece of bread with a touch of butter cooking spray for flavor without the fat.
Good thing i dont spoil them


By the way, if we say want to go to Mc Donalds or Burger king, they know a burger is coming and get really excited.
Then you can say either KFC or chicky meat and they know whats coming too, especially if Greg walks in with a box of KFC, they go nuts drooling all over until they get some. I have a special rag to wipe the drooling off the floor with, it is that bad.


Kathy

Yes Alexis is spoiled like that too. She goes nuts with the word Taco Bell and she also knows what the building looks like Her favorite is the steak taco. Leave off the sauce please. When we make something that she can't have, we'll make it plain for her. Like spaghetti sauce is too spicy, so when brown the meat we'll take hers out before adding the garlic! Vienna sausage is her ABSOLUTE favorite! Pop that top and she'll come running even if she's getting food from somewhere else!

Today is phone call work day fo rme.

We got a p.o. box near Gregs work on friday, so now I have to get all the addresses change over to it today.
That is a lot of calls. I did the change of address card for the post office for forwarding stuff, but I like to call and change it all over myself so nothing gets lost along the way. Will you please PM me your new address please.

Plus gotta make that cake today
That doesnt sound hard but the special cake I make for Greg that a diabetic can eat takes alot more time and concentrating on changing out ingredients. Those recipes we used for Elizabeth cakes were delicious!
I love baking from scratch, so for me it is fun, but it does take some time about twice as long as a normal cake, plus my oven is small, so onelayer at a time for baking it.


Time to check out the 08 board, then around 8:30 I need to be making some calls. Hope to get in on friday for my outpatient procedure. I am going to call and verufy again they have the proper tube I need!!!! I dont want to have to go back a 3rd time just because they dont have a tube the right size!!! Good idea. Friday instead of Wednesday? What time?

Back later gang,

have a great Monday.

The first day fo fall is today That means the colder weather is officially on its way. Of course since Greg was born today I blam ehim for bringing the colder weather with him. But, of course!

But it also means the cruise is one day closer


Kathy

I was just thinking this morning that I need to start gathering everything together and buying groceries that I'm going to bring. As it keeps getting closer, I CAN'T WAIT!

 

[dsparks]

My BIL can use all the prayers and pixie dust he can get today!!
He has dr. appt with his Dr. and 2 surgeons and they will let him know if he has to loose his foot or not.

kathy

Will do !

Better you than me.

 

[dsparks]

Well I just got some strange news?!

One of our local radio DJ's (he's been here for probably 20 years) died while snorkeling in Hawaii this weekend??

I don't think I've ever heard of anyone drowning or dying from snorkeling?

http://klce.com/In-Loving-Memory-of-a-Man-We-All-Knew-And-Loved--W/3004210

Really strange??? I guess it was his time to go?!

That was sort of along the lines of Steve Irwin dying. Freak accident.

 

[dsparks]

Good morning!!


Holly is starting to get an appetite back, but still kept me up last night.

Looks like Brayden is coming down with it now.

I've got to get them better before Sunday or we may not be going to Park City.

I'll check in later.......

I was afraid of that! The best advice I can give you LYSOL! It really does work! Spray everything! Here's hoping for Park City!

Top of the page!

Jaime, I'm sure that won't be the last morning she will want to stay in bed and not go to school! It happens at least once a week for one of us! But once we get going, it's all good!

Elizabeth did mostly watching today. The older kids (about 2 1/2) were participating. So Stephanie and I predict one more week of watching and then she'll be back in the swing of things!

Hi everyone,

just taking a 10 minute break.

I have both chocolate layers baked and cooling. After they are cooled I will make a chocolate mocha mousse filling with mini chocolate chips and make a chocolate buttercream frosting to top it off with.

I am so stingy with my sugar free chocolate chips because they cost so much but I am splurging and throwing in a few to make it special for him.


I also decided the pups needed some birthday cake too.
after all they are part of the family too. But dogs cant have chocolate.

so now I have a white layer cooking just for them. No frosting, just a plain white cale layer they can have a small piece of the next few nights while Greg has chocolate cake

See I told you I never spoil my pups
I also got my medical appointment set for friday morning, so I iwll be late posting that day.
My oldest grandaughter has that day off of work so she is going to watch the dogs for me which is nice.

well this afternoon I will be doing address changes for a ton of places and posting of course

got to run, the white cake should be done now.
The rain has stopped for a bit, so I should run the dogs out for a bit too.

Hi Kathy

That's great your gd can watch the dogs for you.

Greg's cake sounds yummy! And what lucky pup's you have I bet Koda would love to move in with you

Hi Dawn
I figure at least once a week Kierra will want to sleep in..she goes to bed early but it takes her about 2 hours to get to sleep. Sounds like Elizabeth is just getting familiar with everything...I bet your right in a few weeks she'll be participating too!

Well we got homework tonight...now the fun starts
