Hi Peeps...another pixie dust request.

1) My cousin down here is having fibroid tumors removed tomorrow in an outpatient surgery. They are very big and the Dr said that it is the equivalent of being 5 months pregnant. She is also recovering from alcoholism and drug abuse (pain pills and such). She has relapsed a few in the past and for about 2 years been doing really well. But she will have some pain medicine while in the hospital that her counselors are concerned will make her want more and trigger a relapse. I really don't think this will happen but they do. Please send PD and prayers that she goes through the surgery well, has a good recovery, and does not have any relapse.

2) While hanging out with my DB this weekend he asked me my "expert opinion" on some voice and throat issues he has been having. He just started some kind of ner workout regime that is chinese or japanese that involves holding a bag to your chest while someone kicks you It starts with an "M". Anyway since then his throat, like around his adam's apple, has been sore even to touch it with his hands. Then the other day it started to hurt when he swallowed. It started to feel better, but then he was eating pizza and he felt like he couldn't even swallow at all. And when I saw him his voice was a little raspy and hoarse. So all that started to freak him out...he asked me if I thought it was the "C" word (cancer). I told him he should definitely go to a doctor and that I also thought it was probably muscle strain from clenching his throat and neck doing all these weird exercises since it started right after that. He doesn't want to stop the exercise class (men ). Anyway, please send him some prayers and PD that it turns out to be nothing serious.

Thanks for your help peeps! I'm so not in the mood to go to work or class tomorrow. At least my weekend was relaxing. Hope all of yours were too!

Pixie Dust and Prayers sent!!!


Yikes on your DB! I hope it's "nothing".

Is the bag inflated at the time when getting punched or kicked?

Since last Sunday I have lost a grand total--insert drum roll here: 19 pounds. I have 11 to go to get to pre preggo weight and then another 15 to go before I will actually like what I weigh.

I have another prayer request--I know that I ask you guys to pray for a lot of different things--but I have waited on this one until I had more information. On Monday while I was still in the hospital we got a call that a good frined was rushed to the ER and they did a cat scan and found a brain tumor. They sent her to a specialist that day and he was going to do surgery on THurs. a.m. Well the next morning her DH could not wake her--the tumor had started leaking and she might of even had a mini stroke. They rusehd her to surgery and were able to get the tumor out. She is still on the vent. and in ICU. She has her good days and bad. When her DH comes into the room she follows him with her eyes and can respond at times. When they mention the kids she cries. She has a 4 year old and a 1 year old. They did find out the tumnor was cancer, but are still waiting on the path report to determine what kind and such. Once she is doing better then they will start radiation. Of course this is just a quick report on what is going on and GOD has already moved in many ways for this situation. We are asking for all believers to come together and pray for this woman--her name is Christi. Thank you for prayng for her.

Rebekah is waking up so I better go.

Congrats on the weight loss, that is great for having such a new baby at home!!
And I will certainly include her in my prayers. I have a story about the "C" word too...seems like almost everyone knows somebody who has had it touch thier lives somehow.

OMG, that is fantastic!!!!!

 

[pigget74]

Spongie and UM I now know who to contact in order for Rebekah to have some cute clothes for her first Disney trip--it may be closer than I think

In the planning stages, but can;t even make a ressie until November. We are thinking about going in June for a few days--if we do this then we will not get to go to the beach this summer. We are going to try and stay at Animal Kingdom Villas---hopefully they will still have a one bedroom availiable to rent. SHAME ON US HERE--but we will probably get a pass to Universal and do just a 3 day pass to Disney. We are still talking things over. We may even just go and hang out at the resort and still do a 3 day pass and just do things that we have never done before because of the lack of time. It will be very different for us--Andrew and Katie first went when they were 7 and 4---hence the 74 after pigget---Joshua has been 3 times, but this will be even more different since he will be 2.5 and then we will have an 8 mth old. I am excited, but the trip is very iffy so I am not even going to make a countdown yet. We have several things we need to pay off and if that happens we will go---if it doesn't we won't, but I am keeping my fingers crossed.

 

[DisneyObsession]

Good Morning All!!!

Misty...Cute dress! It reminds me of Colonial Williamsburg! What can I say??? I'm wierd!!! Also what a great hubby you have!!! The hippo is adorable!!!

Melinda...Boy, you've only been popping in the last 2 days! You OK???

Pigget...Prayers sent for Christi & her family.

Dawn...Your dress sounds great! I bet you look terrific in it!!!

Well, I am officially frustrated today! I have been off of my thyroid pills, because I keep forgetting to go pick them up, and I have gained 2.5 lbs since friday!!! I know it's been a week since I've taken the meds and this is a side effect of my condition, but still! I've hit the heaviest I've been and that's just NOT acceptable! I just don't know what to do anymore! <vent over>

I don't think that is shame on you... you have to do your vacation how YOU want it!! Especially with 4 children and 2 under 3...

I know how frustrating it can be... I am trying desperately to get off my WDW weight and it won't budge.

I am hoping that some of my weight will flee this week since AF is visiting... TMI, but I took 2 sets of BC back-to-back while at WDW to prevent her, and I am hoping that is why my weight is stubbornly sticking to me. If I don't lose even 1 lb by Friday, I think I might start myalli.

OK, sorry for the shameless plug, but I just did my first part of my TR, I hope You'll come take a look!

Good morning to everyone. Well, late morning and early afternoon in some parts of the country. Geesh, wish I could get motivated to get up earlier. And I have a job where I'm supposed to be here by 8:00. Oh well, it sometimes help to be the boss; I wouldn't be too happy if anyone on my staff rolled in at the hours I do.

Spongie, that dress is way too cute. After having 3 boys I was so hoping for a granddaughter. Clayton is adorable and I love him but he wouldn't look cute in that dress. If I ever do have a granddaughter, I'm going to have to hire you to make these cute Disney dresses since I cannot sew at all.

I got great news this morning that we passed ROFR on our Beach Club addon so now we have even more points to go to WDW. As our sons got married, the family groups kept getting bigger and we need more rooms while on vacation.

My very supportive DH got up yesterday and made homemade blueberry muffins. Usually, he will not eat anything or bring anything into the house that I can't have but he must have been hungry for those. So I cheated for the first time in 6 weeks and had one of those muffins. At least I didn't load it up with butter. I'm still feeling guilty over it though.

I hope everyone has a great day.

 

[monymony3471]

That's too funny about the nails - keep it up!! I wish you and Allie all the best!!!!! there's still room on the 5K Monica!! I dont know what I was thinking - 13 miles is FAR!! I dont want to fail!! I did take my pedometer with me we did at least 14 miles every day - on a good day we'd do 17 - 19 MILES!! Of course it was the all day - no time limit!! DH says I just need to picture people getting ahead of me at The Land - going up that hill I would put it into high gear to get ahead of the slow pokes for SOARIN~!!

Hey, I thought a 5 K was 3.1 miles! 13 miles? Am I that way off? Oh boy.....what to do.......

Had a very busy weekend. Hope I didn't miss much. I however wore my peeps braclet and thought of everyone. Tried to make good choices. I am down to 3 nursings during the day. 1 or 2 through the night. Getting there.

Hope the new peeplet is doing fine.

Madelyn is 8 weeks old today. Can you believe it??

She's looking me in the eye, smiles, and is cooing back and forth. She bares weight on her legs and can hold her head sturdy when I pull her up into a sitting position with her arms.

All in 8 weeks time.

I just got back from a whirlwind weekend get away to Victoria B.C. for my anniversary. My dh suprised me! We had a great time, lots of walking. My calves are killing me today! Just wanted to pop in and say hi! I am attempting to get myself back on the wagon, I just have to find it!

I really need to learn to do the multiple quote thing! Yikes! I tried it one day and it didn't work . . .

Spongie - Adorable dress and your DD looks so proud!

Good news! Yesterday I FINALLY made my goal on my pedometer for the first time all week. I took a couple of the girls to the mall while we were waiting for the two oldest to finish an activity. We walked for quite awhile. Only problem was the incidental purchases we made along the way! I really need to find a better place to walk . . .

Hi everyone,

A quick post to say thanks for the prayers and pixie dust. My cousin did well in her surgery (sidenote: she had to have an epidural and it took 5 tries to get it in right. OUCH! Made me think of some of the peeps who just had babies) She will be on some narcotic medication when she comes home tomorrow but my mom is in charge of it (btw, she is staying with us while she recovers from the surgery).

I talked to my boss and her chiropractor husband about DB and his throat issues. The chiro thinks it is just muscle spasms but it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to have it checked out which my boss (the speech pathologist) agrees. So I passed that along. Continue to send them both prayers and pixie dust.

And I have one more to add to the list. Man, when it rains it pours right? While talking to DB this afternoon, he told me that his father in law (DSIL's dad) had a heart attack yesterday afternoon. He is stable and in the hospital and they put a stint (or shunt?) in. But this is his 3rd or 4th heart attack in about 7-10 years. So definitely not good (not that one heart attack is good). He lives down here as well. About 10 minutes from my house actually. Anyway, add him to the prayers and pixie dust list please.

Thanks Peeps! You're the best!

[punkin413]

wow.....where are all the peeps lately???

so let me tell you about the day i've had...

this morning i went to the gym. well, only 3 people showed up for class, so anna decided to take class out of the fitness room and into the weight room. i was fine with that, but VERY fatigued at the end. THEN she decides to end class by getting us on the elipticals, cranking the resistance level up to 15 and alternating between keeping it above 70 RPMs and us crouching down really low to work our quads and butt. yeah.....fun.

then i come home to find that i accidentally left eli out of his crate, something i NEVER do. i had put sherman up....just not eli. luckily i didn't find anything that was destroyed......until i looked in sherman's crate. i have a banker's box sitting next to sherman's crate in my office and it had a job folder from 2005 sitting on top of it that i've been meaning to take to the attic for the last 6 months now. somehow one of the dogs managed to get the entire folder into sherman's crate and it was in SHREDS..... NOT GOOD, PEOPLE!!! i picked up all the pieces and they're currently sitting in a bowl on my desk for me to piece back together later. it's not the end of the world.....i don't think. it's probably just my notes and the job sheet and no exhibits (i hope!). but if i ever have to type that hearing, i'll need my notes.

THEN i notice that sherman has this gigantic bump on his head that's bleeding! i put peroxide on it and it started fizzing like crazy. i decided to take him to the vet because i just wasn't sure what it was.....my 3rd vet visit in the last two weeks! the vet said it was a wart (ewwww) that he's somehow either hit or scratched because it's bruised and swollen and bleeding. he gave me a topical solution to put on it and told me to put anti-perspirant around it so that eli wouldn't lick it. so now sherman has a spikey-waxy-gunkified-deodorant-caked hairdo around his gigantic wart! yuck!!! the vet said that since sherman is getting older these little growths may start popping up and that it's probably been there for awhile....we just didn't notice it until it started swelling and bleeding.

so...how was everyone else's day?

I'm sending prayers and PD for all in need, and asking for some more for my family. My sister has a lump on her thyroid and is scheduled for a biopsy next week. Thyroid cancer is what my brother survived and has led to all of his other problems, so it's a little scary.

okay my mouth has been killing me the last couple of months i have had teeth pulled and have been waiting patiently to start my implants but due to pain and swelling i am once again waiting . so my DH just went to the store to get bread for sandwiches for dinner and he came home with this ..

I absolutely love Hippos .. he opened the door and showed the hippo talking saying i heard you did not feel well so here i am to make things better. i just had to share

Love the dress. We haven't done Ariel's Grotto, but it looks like a great place for your little And hurray for a thoughtful hubby! You deserve such sweetness. Hope your mouth feels better soon.

Well, I am officially frustrated today! I have been off of my thyroid pills, because I keep forgetting to go pick them up, and I have gained 2.5 lbs since friday!!! I know it's been a week since I've taken the meds and this is a side effect of my condition, but still! I've hit the heaviest I've been and that's just NOT acceptable! I just don't know what to do anymore! <vent over>

Um, go pick up your thyroid pills?!?
Seriously, get yourself on an even keel, then worry about the weight. Be as kind to yourself as you would be to a friend. What would you say to a friend in your position? You'd be kind and encouraging, right? So do that for yourself. You deserve it.

My very supportive DH got up yesterday and made homemade blueberry muffins. Usually, he will not eat anything or bring anything into the house that I can't have but he must have been hungry for those. So I cheated for the first time in 6 weeks and had one of those muffins. At least I didn't load it up with butter. I'm still feeling guilty over it though.

I think the homemade ones are a lot healthier than, for instance, the Costco ones. If you ever read the list there, it looks like a chemistry experiment. And your muffin was filled with antioxidants, right?

Madelyn's looking me in the eye, smiles, and is cooing back and forth. She bares weight on her legs and can hold her head sturdy when I pull her up into a sitting position with her arms.

All in 8 weeks time.

She's a genius!

I love Victoria! We took the kids a couple of years ago, and I just loved sitting out by the harbor, and also picnicking while listening to a Celtic band at Butchart Gardens. What did you see and do?

Good news! Yesterday I FINALLY made my goal on my pedometer for the first time all week. I took a couple of the girls to the mall while we were waiting for the two oldest to finish an activity.

so...how was everyone else's day?

Well, since you asked: The rats I heard on Friday got into the classroom over the weekend, ate a book, parts of our alphabet, my partner's photo of her daughter, and various other items in the room. We were afraid to have the kids in there, so we each had to take our "show" on the road. We went to a neighboring classroom to teach. I forgot some stuff I needed to test one little boy who hasn't been there every time I have been testing, but who was there today. The exterminator came and said he thinks it's many mice, because he only sees little droppings, but our custodian saw one peek through the hole in the ceiling, and he said for sure it was a rat. It's creepy and disgusting, and I'm tempted to take one of our neighborhood cats (ours is too much of a wimp) to hunt these critters down.

Wish me luck that the traps have been successful. Have a terrific Tuesday!

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE!

Can I just copy/paste Danielle's post!? Her comments are always better than mine.

GAYLE....Thanks for worrying about me. It's just that the mornings are soooo dark here, I haven't adjusted to it yet. It's still black as midnight here and almost 7am! Just can't get up in time to DIS! Go get that medicine!

Spongie and Winkers....Can I implant a "thoughtful husband" chip that would cause my husband to surprise me in a good way? With a trip? Or a gift? You girls are sooooo lucky!

Pakey! One blueberry muffin?! Let it go! Today is a new day! BTW...You got an avatar! Yea! Do you weigh more now that you're not nekkid?

Pamrob....Your turn! You're nekkid! Pick out an avatar! Here's a great site with lots of Disney avatars.

Danielle.... Why'd it have to be rats? I hate rats! I'll bet they're not cute Remy and Emile rats either. Hopefully the exterminator did his job. How's your brother?

Punkin....Poor poopies! I'm glad Sherman's gonna be OK. (dogs and kids...so expensive!) I hope you are never called upon to type up that trial! We forgot and left our nearly 16 year old doggie who is confined to the back room of our house. Bless her heart there were accidents to clean up.

Monica....Love those first lil baby smiles! Aren't they the best?

Heather....How's Christi??? Is Ryan home? How's the baby?

HAVE A GREAT DAY, ONE AND ALL!

 

[pamrob]

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE!
Pamrob....Your turn! You're nekkid! Pick out an avatar! Here's a great site with lots of Disney avatars.

Ok, so I hadn't even finished a cup of coffee . . .I was confused for a minute . . I was thinking nekkid? what the heck did I post last night? Then I got it . . so I picked out an avatar. So now I covered!

I made my pedometer goal AGAIN yesterday! Yeah. This time I chose a neighborhood walk - much less expensive!

My pedometer tracks steps, mileage and how much time you are active. It's amazing to me how busy I am but how few hours a day I am truly active. I guess driving in my car seems like I'm moving? but it's not activity.

I am just enjoying a few minutes of peace and quiet thanks to my husband who "thought" he turned off the alarm clock (nope, only hit snooze). I couldn't get back to sleep but I have to admit getting up early before all the girls wake up is nice. I used to do this all the time but just have been getting to bed later and later. Ok now I am rambling . . .sorry.

More pixie dust to all those who need it. Seems like we have alot of peeps and peep friends and relatives who need some right now! Hope everyone does well.

Off to refill my coffee cup and catch up on trip reports. Hope everyone enjoys their day!
