I'mmmmm Back!!! Yeah leave it to me to come back on Friday the 13th

Hi Everyone, Hi new TKer's that actually aren't that new.
I read all the pages, started the other night and got to page 40, then couldn't get back on till today and finish.
First before going any further: Pepper I am so sorry about your dad

, I was reading along and was taken back when I read that post. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Racer I read so many pages and not until 60 something did I see your siggie about me.

ahh how sweet.
Well got through Christmas

Finally decided that I cannot do two trees (mine and DM's). In a perfect world if I didn't have two kids constantly sick and all sorts of other things going on no problem. Not in my world! For some strange reason this year the live tree's set my allergies off to no end

. Total Histamine attack for days after doing the lights, I have Disney to thank for my obsession about 1500+ on my tree. DM's tree which is a bit smaller then mine still gets about a 1000.
Since coming back from Disney in early December, the kids were sick. Actually DS got sick down there on Monday, we were leaving Wed. That was the night we had tickets to
MVMCP. I knew he didn't feel well when he didn't want to go. We stayed 'home' and DS and her BF went.
So home and more going to the Doc's and having kids home sick. Hello I needed to get X-mas shopping done

. DD was sick and would get a bit better but not fully.
January she was told she has Mono, can't tell you through the years how many times she has been tested and it always was negative. When she goes down she stays down for a long time. Never expected a positive, and apparently from the blood work she had it for a bit. Her counts showed she was in the middle. In addition she was having abdominal pain that put us in the ER later that week. That was a story in itself, since we were at two!
So DD has been home, never went back from Christmas break. She is on homebound study. Getting restless which is good, that means after 15 hours of sleep she has some energy. Mono is frustrating b/c you can't do anything but sleep it off. She of course has had some of the things that can happen w/mono. Liver b/c enlarged, blood work came back and are okay.
DS I finally took to a ENT and no surprised has enlarged adnoids and they need to be removed. Dsil had her dble mastecomy and has started her chemo treatment. They are treating heavy duty apparently it was a very aggressive form. They even want her to do radiation.
DD turned 18 on Feb. 2nd, yes she was born on Ground hogs day (read the post in reference to Ground Hogs). Can't believe it my baby is 18!
She is going on Senior Trip

guess where??? yep DISNEY!!!

okay so she's been there about 15 times, but with her parents. When we were there in Dec. we kept teasing maybe we would book a 'spring' trip at the same time

she didn't find that funny.
So I guess that sums up my life for the past few months. Have to say I'm tired please can't my kids be well? That was a briefing and more then enough.
For all you talking about facebook I have one

yes your computer genius is on facebook. Funny it started with one friend request from someone in town. So I click and have to sign up, okay the go figure it say's something about writing on her wall????Wall what the hec is a wall

. I really need a Facebook For Dummies book. I asked my DD and she said OMG you are on Facebook? Yes, I have friend request

. Worse yet for her her father now created a account. She totally believes her parents have lost it. She has one (has had one), but she won't add me as a friend

she says no mom your not friends with your parents on facebook. I tried to guilt her into it when a family we know there two daughters added there mom. Okay they are not 18, but one is 23.
Racer I see you have crossed over and have a trip planned to US. Good going. Bopsmom you have two tickers what is the trip about just the 4ofus?
Wendy sorry about you having to cancel surgery. That I would take a God's sign you weren't meant to have it done then.
I'm not leaving anyone out, I can't comment on the past 80+ pages, just random thoughts that come to mind.
Hey question that sight that you can see live video streams and then had it's name change. Bopsmom, you posted it but in the post it had**********a bunch of those what is it? Email me. Oh and the mean girl trip

can't believe that made me so angry. DH was walking by the computer and he saw the pic's and was like what is that and I explained and he proceeded to read over my should what you posted about the girls mothers explanation. Considering he was probably on

that I haven't been on the boards (I'm sure he thought, good she's not addicted any longer).
Okay bbl
