*note* I had to go and take most of the smileys out. I had 48 and the limit is 25! Oops!
Bethany- feel better
My BIL mentioned interest in our house today, this is my DN6(the one we are super close to) step dad. I told him if he wasn't serious to shut up b/c that would make this move THAT much easier on my heart and the move- my DSis, and her family here in our special place. Then thinking of all the fees and selling issues we could surpass. I told him if they were serious to get thier credit report, get qualified and see if thjey can afford it. It's not a high end home here so I am praying it can happen.
Lori
I am hoping that will happen for your peace of mind.
The wedding on Saturday was wonderful. My niece was beautiful, my kids did great, the drinks were flowing and we danced the night away. We had a second line from the church to the hotel. It was only a three block walk but with a police escort, a brass band leading the way and about 400 people making the trek while tourist were taking your picture was so exciting. Now that it's over I am officially in Disney mode for our trip next week.
That sounds wonderful. Do you have some pictures? I am having a hard time picturing this. *blush*
Bethany I hope you feel better ASAP.. you have been sick off and on for a while now.
Thanks...and yes I have.
Good Morning y'all!
I swear I thought yesterday was going to be "the day"... I woke up feeling terrible- very tired, achy, and sweating with horrible pain and pelvic pressure. I thought for sure my water was going to break or contractions start. But no, nothing happened. I went to bed and actually had a good night's sleep and feel fine today. Little guy is messin' with me already!
What is up with this weather? I'm definitely not complaining, but when I woke up this morning, my hardwood floor felt too cold to go barefoot- I had to put on my flipflops!
I hope you feel better soon. I'm hoping that when you move here, the heat just melts away any germs or sickness you've got! My father actually believed that- whenever we were sick when we were younger, he would make us go sit outside in the sunshine for a little while because he swore that the sunshine and warmth would help cure anything. Crazy, but I would feel better after sitting outside for awhile.
Oh Lorie....glad you feel fine today! He's gonna come soon!
*gasp* You needed flip flops! LOL
Hahaha...I did go sit outside yesterday but it was cool and overcast and a weebit windy. I just wanted some "fresh" air to see if it would help. Not in this case.
I hope you start feeling better soon.
Believe me, he'll find the time for Mariah....
Thanks...and LOL about Mariah.
Bethany, I'm worrying about how sick you've been! I hope coming down here makes a big difference!
Uh oh...it was only about 3 pages back you were talking about fussin at me for bein sick.
Thanks ya'll! I love you all!
Paul and I got to go on a date Saturday night-my friend had both of my girls sleep over!! We went to a movie and dinner(God have we spent some money this weekend). We saw Star Trek(DH's pick and I didn't have a preference) and went to Copelands, where I had a glass of wine(Pinot Grigio that was really good). Well, being that I had spent the whole 15 minutes from the movie to a late dinner and in the parking lot boohooing over leaving(I mean uncontrolled sobbing like a baby), the wine put me right OUT! Paul was really cool about it and even told me we didn't HAVE to do it if it upset me this MUCH, but I told him that I am cool with moving but he would just have to expect me to have my moments-and LET me have them. We moved on to a nice dinner though and talked a lot about what situation we want the kids to spend thier teen years in. Part of my uncontrolled sobbing is this....
When we moved out of the home I grew up in in River Ridge that we were in for my 1st 18 years of life, and due to a divorce-I felt like I was losing EVERYTHING. I do not like change and I guess I get hung up on the safety and love that home provided for so long. Literally, Paul had to drag me kicking and screaming crying away from that house when we were 18, on moving day.
So we talked about the very different reasons from that time to this move. The safety comes from my family being together, not the house-and we are not getting divorced no matter how much he can get on my nerves.
I am probably gonna reminisce with you as our time here in this house comes to a close. I will feel like this....

and you will be like....

"girl, get over it and go to Houston!!" and maybe a few of these....

.
Ramble on dahhhhling...if we get annoyed we'll just scroll past it...
Seriously though, it sounds like you are just going to need a lot of hugs.

And I can't speak for the others (although I suspect they feel the same just cuz they are all AWESOME!

), but you know I can relate and will listen to/read your ramblings anytime you need to ramble!

I posted either on here or WFD that I felt like this about moving:

I have to say...I haven't cried once about this particular move. Maybe I will when the plane takes off? I have cried about moves in the past though. And I've had quite a few.
9 months sounds like much too long for it to be viruses.
Have they said if it's swine flu? If they close the school now, won't y'all have to make up the lost school days? That wouldn't be good.
Yeah...9 months does seem too long...but it's not a baby.
I don't know if it's swine flu or not. And I have NO IDEA if they will have to make up the days or not, but I WILL NOT BE HERE to do it! I don't have a place to live here after June 30....I could work one extra day (Monday, June 29) but that's it. I am NOT missing my plane! So there!

I would think y'all have met the criteria to be shut down with those numbers!
I cried too. I also told Johnny yesterday that it's not fair that we're just getting to know Lori and she's leaving us.
I would think so too...I am miffed because 14 schools are now closed, and not ONE is in my borough.
I cried too... and I haven't even met her in real life yet.
BUT, he needs to wait until after Friday- I'm getting my hair done that day.

Yesterday I just kept thinking "oh, not today- I need to get my hair done first!"
I completely understand what you mean about this place being a safety net (that's why we chose to come back here after Katrina- warts, mold, and all!)
Bethany- I am thinking that your sickness is caused by stress (disclaimer: I am not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV...). Not to get all into it, but I grew up in a very dysfunctional household and had a difficult childhood, and I was constantly sick. I was ALWAYS in the doctor's office with every virus known to mankind- in the sixth grade I wound up in the hospital and almost had to repeat that grade from excessive absences. My doctor wanted to do an AIDS test and all kinds of other testing because my immune system was shot. Well, all the tests came back negative. He sat my mother down and told her it was stress causing all of this and that she needed to make my life less stressful or I would continue getting sick. Of course, she blew him off, and the sickness continued. Guess when I got better? When I moved out of that house when I was 18. Aside from the occasional bug and sinus issues, I haven't really been sick since- my Dr was absolutely right. It is amazing how stress can really wear you down physically. I really hope that this move will help make you better...
Lorie -

about your hair!
The city has WARTS too? What else are you not telling me about? Hmmmm?!?

(And it's too late to back out now....

)
Lorie, I totally agree with you. I think it's the stress wearing down my immune system, and then I'm not fully recovering in between one virus and the next. I've never been a really sick person. I used to rarely get sick. Based on what I saw of the school last month, I don't think it will be nearly as insane of an environment.
