Oct 19, 2002 UNSTOPPABLE...

[Schrolls]

Just a quick post before I head to bed.

The service today was so nice. Dad would have been pleased. The church was packed and the visitation line was a 45 minute wait. My Dad was loved by many. We had a beautiful photo of him on a table and the flowers you all sent were on the table beside him. I can't thank you guys enough for the love you have shared with me and my family. I know the pain will ease over time but I am just exhausted and ache missing him so much.

I have a lot of stuff to do tomorrow and Tuesday and then I am heading to the coast with Paul Tuesday afternoon until late Friday. He has a conference to go to and I just need some quiet walks on the beach before I head back to work and life as it moves forward.

I will try to post again tomorrow.

Love you all.

Good Morning!
Decided to post first thing before I go on the phone. Once it starts I dont get enough time inbetween calls to post. I am so mentally exhasted at the end of the week now didn't use to feel this before last year when they changed all our job skills and tripled our calls. One of my calls last week lasted over an hour the guy cussed the entire time. He told me if he was here he would "Slap the Sh*t of out you". Loads of fun. Every other word out of his mouth was f* this and f* you....
On a happier note. Jason and Michelle are expecting a baby Noveember
23rd. The day after my birthday. Can't wait to see them as parents. Tiffany has been here all week. Home on Spring break. She goes back on Wednesday. She is staying in Tulsa this Summer and has signed a lease on an apartment. She is Super Excited. Karebear and Ethan are doing great although they are both sick right now. Kara had/has RSV and an ear infection and cut 6 teeth last week. Ethan had/has a sinus infection. Missy is doing great except for having to take care of 2 sick kido's. Jaymee is in ALS right now and it stressing out. Poor girl Louis is gone again so she is super lonely. Bob and I are good.

Me again.

Susan- I am so sorry about your Dad.

Heidi-How was the movie? How are the girls doing?

Sandy-Ahhhh vacation....... How is Tyler?

Julie-Ugh bone spur. Ouch! Hope it gets better soon.

Better start taking calls. Will try and check in later.

Susan - sounded like it was a wonderful service. So nice to know that your dad was loved by so many people. Enjoy those walks on the beach, I hope they will help you heal and grieve. We love you.

Barb - I thought you had left us for good. Missed you. The movie was okay but not the best, that is definitely a movie you want to just rent when it comes out! Yay, another grandbaby for you to love on!!!!!!!! Might be a good birthday present! Poor Kara and Ethan, hope they feel better soon. Chris and I were watching Undercover Boss last night and one of the jobs was at a call center for angry customers and I thought about you. I told Chris what you did and how it takes a special person to listen to people screaming at you and not take it personal and lose your patience. I know I couldn't do it.

Chris has Spring Break this week, I wish I did too! We are going skiing on Friday but that will probably be the last time with my dad for this year since my parents are going on vacation. After this week, we still have 7 tickets left so I am trying to figure out what to do with them as that is a lot $$$$ ($175).

Susan: The service sounded lovely. You definitely need some time. I hope it helps. I am sure you being with your dad so much helped him a lot.

Barb: Good to hear from you! Another grandbaby, how exciting. Hope the kiddos feel better soon!

Today is a crummy day. I am feeling low. It is cold, rainy and windy and dark. Obamacare passed, Kaleigh has a tummy ache and it is Monday. It can only get better from here, right?

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Susan, the service sounded lovely. I read about your dad on the link and it sounds like he WAS loved by so many. I am sure you are proud to call him DAD!! Walks along the beach is so perfect for you right now. Enjoy yourself and pamper yourself!! LYMI

Barb, wow, another grandbaby. How exciting! Tell Tiff hi. I am like Heidi. I was thinking about you last night while watching Undercover Boss. It certainly does take special person to be able to handle escalation calls! I would cry when they start cussing me out.

Denine, sorry you are blue today. Maybe the sun will shine tomorrow and you will have a better day. Hugs.

Nothing new here. Beautiful day but not tomorrow or Wednesday.

Good morning! We had a beautiful day yesterday and I took our dog for a long walk without a coat, I was so excited. This afternoon it is supposed to start snowing again and we will get another 5-10 inches. Happy Spring! Hope these snow storms don't kill the fresh blooms that are starting.

 

[Denine]

Heidi: Sounds like a nice walk. We are just getting rain. We had a t-storm come through last night.

I don't know what to do with Kaleigh. She has had this tummy ache since midnight yesterday. She is just moping around. No other symptoms except tenderness when I press the area. I hate to take her to the doctor.

It is so dark and gloomy today.

 

[Mickey02]

Checking in!
Off the phone waiting for an agent to fax me a quote I have to go over to see why it uprated then fix it. FUN TIMES!

Not much new. Tiffany goes back tomorrow. It is suppose to snow today and tomorrow. UGH! and of course she is flying out of Denver. May not come into work tomorrow if it is bad. Keeping my fingers crossed. Heidi have you watched NM yet? rushed out for my copy too. Have not had time to watch it though. Counting down the days till the next one comes out. YIPEEE! Midnight showing baby!

Susan-

Denine- Spring is coming my allergies tell me so.

Sandy-Have not forgotten you. Will get you a letter in the mail this week.

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Barb - Oh yeah we watched NM, the same day we got it! We actually watched both movies, one right after the other that night. We also can't wait for the next movie, if we have the girls we will do the midnight showing, if not I will wait until we get them because that is our tradition. What time is Tiffany's flight? Keeping my fingers crossed for you guys because I heard on the news that Castle Rock and Monument are supposed to get it the worst, somewhere between 7"-14".

Denine - I had a bad pain in my stomach yesterday and it lasted all day long. Thankfully it is fone today. I hope Kaleigh feels better.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Barb, you really have me concerned. I just heard on the news that the snow accumulation in Denver has been upped. That makes Monument even worse. Oh, please, please be careful and do me a HUGE favor, please check in and let me know you are ok and Tiff got on the plane.

Denine, poor Kaleigh (again). The only thing I can think of is constipation and appendix but you as a nurse knows about that stuff.

The clouds are rolling in after a beautiful start to the day. Talked to Stacey today and Tyler is having lots of seizures again. She THINKS it's because Albertsons cream isn't as rich in fat as it says. Therefore, he might not be getting as much fat and too much carbs. I HOPE that's it. I also hope they get on that MRI and spinal tap SOON!

I'm so excited to go on the trip. I'm thinking about it morning, noon and night. This is the first time that Ted is this excited about a trip. I know he is stressing so bad at work. He told me the other day that they are pushing through a lot of the projects early knowing that he is retiring soon. That makes it hard plus training someone to take his place that is a know it all. Gotta feel for him!

BARB, DON'T FORGET TO CHECK IN TOMORROW.....PRETTY PLEASE.

Here is the resort that we are staying at this time in Cozumel.

[Denine]

Sandy: The resort looks very pretty. We are looking foward to our WDW trip at the end of April.

Kaleigh says she is feeling better, but it is still there. We sent her off to PSR. Her appetite is fine and she eats plenty of fruits and veggies. I guess I just need to keep an eye on her. It is very hard for a kid to tell what their pain feels like.

Too bad about the WDW bus crash!

Barb: I hope Tiff stays safe!

Sandy: Hope Stacey is able to get Tyler's seizures back under control!

The sun finally came out this afternoon!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

OMG, Barb. The storm is so intense up here right now. We just got home from driving in it. Can't see two inches in front of you. The snow is coming down sideways and is accumulating fast. Not sure what time Tiffs flight is but you better call first. Stacey got caught in it at the Walmart in Monument. She is saying the same thing. Be careful tomorrow.

Gosh, we don't even have satellite tv. We brushed off the dish but it can't get the signal through the storm. Never has that happened at the house. Sooo, guess we will have to watch a DVD. I'm sad cuz it's Biggest Loser night and American Idol.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Barb, just read your facebook. Man, I was truly worried about your family. Glad they found a hotel. Parker isn't a place to be driving right about now! Did Tiffany's plane get cancelled? Please still keep us posted until they make it home. I'm sending lots of hugs to get you through this.

 

[Denine]

Hope everyone is safe out CO way!

Sandy: Our satelite goes out too often because of thick clouds or heavy rain or heavy snow.

It is sunny today! Supposed to be in the mid 50's then back into crud tomorrow.

I feel so much better when the sun shines!

Kaleigh says she is feeling better today. She slept until 10 AM! That is one nice thing about home schooling! We can start whenever.

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

YAY, We have a SNOW DAY today!!!!!! My poor dad has to work, but we had a good time harassing each other about it!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Hi guys,

Have to thank Heidi and Chris for shoveling and taking me to breakfast. LYMI

Barb, what's new???

Denine, we have lost satellite with a heavy rain but it doesn't last THAT long. I found it odd that we found out we had some stations and not others. We finally got our local news at 10pm and I went in the bedroom to watch it and couldn't get it in there. STRANGE! How's Kaleigh's tummy?

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Barb and Denine, I was reading the board and found someone having trouble with the board. I noticed earlier that your banner was taken off. I thought you might be interested in this: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2427254

 

[Denine]

Sandy: I didn't even notice my banner was off. Thanks for the link. I'll look when I have a chance.
