DDA Chapter 27

Good morning. :)

Terry - I think the GF is a great way to use your free days! Nice picture.

Theresa - good thoughts for Uncle Mike.

Rain + work = ugh!
 
Good Morning!!

Sorry to be MIA. I've been uber busy this week between Job 1, Job 2 and lacrosse. We are currently running 2 fundraisers which are time consuming for this week. We are making photo buttons to sell so I've had to take photos of everyone on all teams, plus I'm using my photoimpact skills (knew they'd come in handy some day :lmao:) to make custom buttons with out team logo and each players name and number. Every parent needs to email me with their specific orders then I have to figure out who their kid is to order the print. At least a parent and coach has volunteered to actually make the buttons. As well as that I've arranged with a local printshop to have t-shirts, pullover hoodie and zipper hoodies made with out logo. I'm compiling the list as I hear from people. I'm sure that after I submit the orders I'll get an influx of people that "didn't know" or "forgot" or thought it was a later date as that seems to happen with every aspect of this.

The job is going well and I'm a bit bored as I'm just observing and I'm ready to jump in. Hopefully I'll get passwords soon and can do some of the easier stuff on my own.
 

Sounds like you are enjoying being busy, Deb!
 
Good morning, DDA! :sunny:

The rain has stopped here, for the most part. :yay:

I also have news: Bob is coming home! We just found out late yesterday so I am right now somewhere between joy and terror! :) I will let you all know more when I do, but the day is Friday.

Elin I am so happy for Bob that he is able to come home :yay: Will he have a nurse coming by to check on him? I do hope all goes well for everyone when he is home :goodvibes

I know you are probably worried, scared, ect., but I just think this is awesome & what a great feat for Bob!
 
Good morning. :)

Elin, that is great news!!! Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to help ease the stress of the transition!

That is fabulous news. Make sure to use any community resources that are available. We had home health aids and visiting nurses for my grandmother when I had her living with us and that was an immense help to me. I'm sure that it is stressful thinking about the unknown, but I'm sure the reality will be better than the worries :goodvibes
 
Elin,
Glad to hear Bob is well enough to come home! :)

Deb,
You are such a slacker!!!!
:rotfl2:
Glad to hear the job is going well.

Good morning all. My fabulous news is when I started my Wii Fit, my "age" was 51:rolleyes1 & now it's 39!:cool2: Ok that's all the excitment here. :lmao: I hope to keep losing til Disney & then all bets are off. I plan to have a Dole Whip in one hand & a double cheeseburger in the other! :laughing::rotfl:

Home Health (including nurses, physical and occupational therapists and speech therapists) will be here on a regular basis for some time to come. He is so much better than he was, but will still require monitoring on a daily basis. I am just delighted that he will be able to "fend" for himself a few hours a day. He feels as if there has been someone watching over him for weeks and weeks and weeks!

We have quite a few deliveries to look forward to over the next couple of days: hospital bed, wheelchair, walker, bathroom equipment, wheelchair ramp, feeding tube pump and food and one of these babies:

Bob calls it The Shaker, they call it The Vest. It helps clear out his airways for ease in breathing. There are two corrugated plastic tubes that come out the front and hook onto a vest that is wrapped around Bob. It shakes the heck out of him and loosens anything that needs loosening! :rotfl:

I'm glad they created the shaker. I remember when the nurses would just beat on the back of patients to loosen it up :scared1:

that is great news. good luck with the transition
 
Elin - I'm so excited for you all!!! (Scary though it may seem at times.) I'm sure that everything will go well, but we'll continue praying both for healing and the transition.

Bernadette - I think your ideas for Lizzy's friend sound great. What a sad situation for her.

Anne Marie - Way to go! I really need to get back to some exercising. I just can't seem to find the energy by the time I find the time.

Jennifer - Our Easter baskets will have a stuffed animal each (Build-a-Bear for Terra that I got with a "free animal" coupon and Miles the bunny from Borders that I got cheap), a chocolate bunny and maybe some bubbles, etc - little things.

Tammi - Good luck with the middle school transition!

Deb - I hope your new job is going well!

Theresa - Sounds like good prospects for work! I hope they come through for you.



Things here are the same crazy they always are. Phil is home this week using up his last week's worth of personal days. He's supposedly doing some job hunting, but I don't know what he's done since we've barely had time to talk. He'll probably work Sunday and Monday, but then it's over. The store closed this Sunday. :(

Girl Scout stuff is going nuts and won't slow down until day camp is over in 8 short weeks. Hope I can find my way to being ready for that! :eek:

On the bright side, I went in today and plugged the girl's SSN into our tax return online. Suddenly I don't owe the gov anymore and instead am getting a refund that should help us get a halfway decent car! I am BEYOND thrilled! I may even get to make a bit of a payment on our trip to boot! :woohoo:
 
it has been an odd day emotionally for me today (really just wanted the day to go by but Jim just had to text me). I am hoping with this day over with I can start getting me out of my funk.

Good Night All!!
