DDA Chapter 6

[Glynis]

Glynis here is my cousin's belly, she is due in June.

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!

 

[Glynis]

Here's the new Abi design, feel free to ask for any changes you may want, it's not done until it's they way you want it.

Now that is darling!!!

My mom sees the OB/GYN tomorrow. I have decided that it was really very irresponsible of them not to include her pelvis in the CT scan they did. At any rate, they are going to have to do some serious biopsies to make sure the "fibroids" really are just that. I am more concerned about the area of "thickening" on the uterine wall. My research shows that can be cancer, and her variety of cancer DOES spread to the uterus. Hopefully the OB/GYN will be very thorough so when Mom sees the oncologist again on May 9 they will know with 100% certainty what is going on throughout her entire body. I want to get my flights booked for her surgery, so hopefully when she goes on back they will schedule it.

I feel guilty being so excited about our trip when she has all these things going on. Unfortunately she refuses to listen to me when I try to help, so maybe I do need to step back and let her do whatever. She is having more repair issues with her car yet she will NOT think logically about it. I made several suggestions and she got all mad. Still, I feel guilty. I told Momboss maybe we should cut the trip down so I can help my mom with her finances. She said we shouldn't cut the trip short because we have tried to help and Mom INSISTS on doing it her own way. My mom wouldn't be so short on money if 1) she would say NO to my sister and 2) she would file her taxes from the past 3 years and 3) she would file all of her medical claims. Her cancer policy will be tremendously helpful IF she files the claims for reimbursement. She could move to a less expensive apartment (they chose that one because it has lots of "amenities", but the actual apartment is very basic), she could get rid of her storage unit if she would throw out all of the boxes of records from my father's defunct business (the man is DEAD, and it wasn't HER business so she is NOT responsible for all that crap!), so on and so on. Since she is so stubborn about making things better I shouldn't feel bad about doing something for my family, but I do.

I'll keep your mom in my prayers!

I'm with Momboss. You shouldn't feel bad about your trip! You deserve this!

Hi, Just stopping in for a fly by posting.

My morning started with stopping at Panera for bagels well actually two Panera's as the first had like no bagels left. Plus having the flowers spill water all over the floor of my car. It was for administrative assistant's day.

Tomorrow starts the wacky weekend. I have a to drop off registration forms, then head to a year end dinner Thursday night, Friday I have K-registration, then to camp until about 2pm Saturday when I will head to the baseball stadium for the overnight. Then Sunday I have a Gold Award ceremony to attend. Details are still being worked out about when I need to be where. My manager is trying to tell me not to stay overnight Friday night into Saturday. Umm, the volunteers want me there Friday night and Saturday morning. I am not driving 2+ hours home Friday night to turn around and drive 2+ hours back Saturday morning to be back by 9am. At $3.59 per gallon I am not driving almost 200 extra miles.

I am able to take my test on Monday, which I am very grateful for. Although Monday I could be attending my Great Uncle Alvin's funeral. He was found dead at the top of his stairs today. They think he was there since Monday or Tuesday. He lived by himself and my great aunt went to pick him up to take him to the doctor today and no one answered the door.

I am going to take a nap. I am tired and I know my weekend will wear me out. So I need to take advantage of the possibility of sleep. Even an hour or two will be helpful in the long run.

Hope everyone has been having a great week and has a great weekend.

This story reminds me of my nephew! My nephew yelled in church once. The priest gives a "blessing" to the deacon so he could give the sermon. (To do this the priest places his hands over the deacon's head, says a prayer and we wait for the sermon to start.)
In that lovely long pause, my nephew - only 5 or 6 - decides to ask my mom - making sure that everyone within 25 rows of us could hear asks: "Gramma, is he praying for hair?" Our deacon is bald.

that is so funny!!

Kristin looked at the paintings of Christ on the cross and kept asking one morning, "Why is that man flying??!" I LOVE KIDS!

 

[PNO4TE]

Looks like I'll be meeting several of you in August, my time off was approved so I'll be making our reservation soon. I can't wait to meet more DDA'ers!

I wish I could be there to meet you all! But I am delighted to hear that you get to go!!

 

[PNO4TE]

Bob got the confirmation number from him immediately (he paid with his CC). Oh and have I told you all that he got a Disney Visa and is racking up the Reward Points?!?! So now he just has to wait for the paperwork.

When in August are you planning on going? I hope it overlaps our trip.

oh, he is so hooked!

 

[bear74]

Elin what are your dates?

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Finally caught up--chatty people

so hello!

 

[PNO4TE]

A very nice stranger came into my studio tonight to tell me that one of my tires was completely flat. As I was getting ready to change it a father of a student in a class I don't even teach came out and did it for me. Then myBob came downtown and followed me to our tire place.

Instead of going out to dinner with my Singers friends we came home and sat outside in the and had a glass of wine. Now, it is barely dark and I am home, and done with everything. I could get so used to these shortened hours. Of course, our budget would probably be strained if I quit teaching at 6:30 every night!

 

[PNO4TE]

Elin what are your dates?

We arrive on September 27 and leave on October 1, so we overlap!!

 

[PNO4TE]

Denise... I have a student who is on her way Saturday for her first trip to WDW. I told them to look for your three little figs and say hi from me. If they say "Mrs. H says HI!" you will know it is me... I did tell them that you know me as Elin, not Mrs. H.

 

[tinknme]

Becky sorry to hear about your Great Uncle Sounds like you have a lot on your plate right now.
