Sadly we are NOT leaving next week as previously planned... saw my doc today, and though the one ear is starting to look a little bit better, the OTHER ear is starting to get infected, despite being on levaquin for nearly a week! Still can't hear out of the right ear, going on 2 weeks now...

Going to see the ENT next week instead of leaving on our trip. I sure hope this is an easy fix... losing an ear (so to speak!) is not pleasant, and the buzzing in it is making me NUTSO!!!

Still PLANNING on making the cruise, but are re-working our visits with our friends in Ohio and INdiana. Right now the friend in Indiana is having their own medical crisis... 8 yr old daughter is in club med (aka cinci children's hospital) since Sunday in major pain, and may be having her gall bladder and intestine removed soon... so we probably wouldn't be staying with them anyway.

I am just so tired physically and emotionally right now... honestly, the thought of driving across the country is getting to me, and flying is even worse! Need to get this ear thing figured out soon...

Have a good night all... going to BED. My doc gave me some ambien so hopefully I can get a little SLEEP tonight. Been having some trouble sleeping lately and could really USE some...

Oh Heidi!!! How horrible! I hope the ENT gets you straightened up!!!! GET WELL SOON!!!!!

Interesting day today.

I was approached with a job offer from the USAF. I currently work as a independent contracted Psychologist for them.

When I left the USAF six years ago, my rank was an 04 (or Major). If I accept this position, they would take in account the years I have been on contract and I would go back in at an 05 (or Lieutenant Colonel). There would be a pay cut, but I would finally have benefits again - free at that - including prescriptions! Shawn could cancel our coverage at his employment, so it would almost break even. Additionally, they will count my six years of active duty served and I could retire with Government benefits in just 14 years. Pretty awesome right?! Also, the offer is written that I would not have to EVER deploy - as this is a Public Health position.

I am torn though, back to the Military uniform is not my favorite thing. It does have a couple things to think about. Guess I will spend the weekend making a decision.

Wow, that's quite a dicision to make! It's always so hard when it seems to be a life decision. Would this mean moving around a lot, or would/could you stay put? Vacation time be the same? Hours? At least deployment is out...that is a GOOD thing right now. I wish you luck. Time to make the Pros/Cons list!!

Hey Michele

How goes it?

 

[WDWCrazzyCunninghams]

Im getting off too but before I do , I thought Id leave you with a few picts from our week at Disney. These are pictures of me and my kids and grandson.
Me and Shauna

Shauna, Chris and Jenny with Mickey

Shauna and Chris going on Toy story ride

Great Photos!! Hi Shauna! Hi Julie! Good to SEE you!!!!

 

[WDWCrazzyCunninghams]

I didn't know this existed. It just goes to show you, you can find anything on the web.

Honestly, I don't remember where I got it. I am sure someone posted it either on this board or all ears...can't remember!! It's a great link though! Glad you could use it too!

Hey Michele

How goes it?

How does that song start...."I keep runnin', runnin' and runnin', runnin'" LOL

We were suppose to get something like 2 inches of rain today. I don't think it's even sprinkled yet!

Ran to the bank and walmart after work. Since practice is only going to be an hour, we will make dinner when we get back. I just inhaled a PB&J to "tie me over" until then. I got a bunch of stuff to make mexican. Just sounded really good. For what I spent, though, we could have went TO the Mexican restaraunt! Oh well....

time to get ready for football.....

Hey Everyone!!

Sorry I have been out for a little bit. I took a long nap with Chris because now I have an earache...but mine is no where near as bad as Heidi's (poor thing...sending you some of these to get better ) Mine is because I went swimming while at the Poly and Chris was begging for me to go underwater...so I did (I do know better since my ears are HORRIBLE with infections when they get water in them) but I wanted to please Chris so I did...now I am paying for it with ear aches

Thanks everyone for the kind words about the FE, It was my first OFFICIAL try at one. I did one with glue only and it was ok but nothing to be proud of from me...but this one I do like. I havent started on the second one but Im thinking of postponing it for a little bit because I head home tomorrow...

Talk about home...SOME BAD NEWS from Mike...Our roof in our bedroom fell in!!! It had been hanging for a little bit and we told the landlord and everyone and then he had us call the roofer yesterday...guess what the stupid roofer said???!?!? "Sleep in another room!!!" ARG!!! WE are beyond ticked at him! But we have someone coming over to patch it up when we get back tomorrow (well when I get home) so Its such a lovely thing to get to come home to! Thankfully Mike put down a tarp over the carpet early this morning because he said that he thought it was going to fall in today. He is a smart guy and thankfully he did that.But what a pain!!

Gina- I love that cake!! I am making just a simple plain chocolate cake tonight...just got it out of the oven...Chris helped me and while we were mixing it, he asked me "Mom is this going to be a Kachow cake?" LOL he calls Lightining McQueen from CARS movie "Kachow" since that is what Lightning says all of the time I told him NOPE honey, this is just going to be a plain ol chocolate cake this time He was ok with that.

Im watching the thing on the history channel now about 9-11. Boy that was scary day...Its sad to watch but its a great reminder of why we have the security measures that we do today.

Shauna, I hope you are quick to get over the ear ache!! Do you have drops for it to dry it out or will you need an antibiotic?? Get well soon
!
and this issue with the roof, for some reason, this just goes through me like a steel rod! LOL And it's not even my place! What in the heck is your landlord thinking??? When you first called, he should have came over to see what the situation was! Now you've had a leaky roof and now have NO ROOF and need a new one?!! there is NO reason for this! You have a small child in the house and his safety and health are of first concern!! I hope he is quick to get this resolved. It seems to me that HE should be calling a roofer to get it handled, not you. He's paying for it, he can pick the contractor. Oh gosh... I am getting off my soap box now....

Hope your trip home was uneventful!

Off to practice....

Hey Everybody!!!​

Remember this spring when I showed you a picture of my baby pineapple?????? Well here it is, all grown up and ready to eat!!!!!​

I'm going to enjoy every dog gone bite of it!! It is quite possibly the worlds most expensive pineapple!! I could have had 2 or 3 cases of 12 shipped from Hawaii for what this thing has cost me to grow. But, there aren't to many people who can say they have grown a pineapple, much less 3 of them!!!!!​

 

[BigRed1]

....Sometime soon we'll take the ferry and get some good close up pics for y'all that i'll post here.

Well hurry up, would you!!! I would like to see some comparison to this one!!!!

The person who uploaded these ran out of bandwidth the first day they were posted, so I saved it and converted it to a jpeg.... don't tell anyone!!!!

Hello everyone! My day is finally done. IT IS FRIDAY!!!

So what is the gas situation in everyone's area. The gas prices have raised several times during the day today. By the time I finished my work at the church and made it to a station to get gas (I was empty) gas prices had gone up to 4.15 a gallon and they would only let you get 15 gallon. I haven't seen any news, but the station said that our Governor has declared a State of Emergency for Kentucky. I'm just sitting back and asking WHY???? The storm hasn't even hit yet. There may not be any damage.

Gas went up 30 cents per litre here today. Crude closed at just a touch over 100 a barrel.....I'm in the wrong buisness
