October 19th Cruisers again and again...

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Barb - I really think you should go on the August one with me. I know your DD is more important than me, I won't cry....too much. If the price is absolutely insane I will so no way...but if it stays around $3500 for two people I will say okay!!!!

Good Morning,

BURRRRRRR it is cold outside! 14 degrees. I just looked at the forecast and we are suppose to get snow the next 4 days. BLAH!

I would love to go on the cruise with all of you guys Heidi. Don't think any of my family is going on this cruise. It will be the first time I have cruised without all my family I really think I will book the August one.

Sandy: We just can't swing the cost of the cruise this time. We would love to go though. We loved Curacao too, but I'd love to see Cartegena! We have Lonestar which we have been to more recently than Outback (prior to Saturday). I think we have Texas Roadhouse, but I am not sure.

Barb: To be technical the windchill or "feels like temp" is what the temperature is if you factor in the wind. The more wind the colder it feels.

Julie should be happy, we have been getting snow. It is in the forecast every day this week. We are getting Lake Effect snow now. We had a clipper come through last night.

My head hurts and I am somewhat dizzy. THis happened on Sunday, but it got better after a prescription decongestant. I dole those out very sparingly so I am taking Jerry's store brand and it doesn't help very much. I just want to go to bed, but I can't.

Heidi: You are going to have an interesting honeymoon with friends and family along

We have the roofer guy out. Thank goodness the warranty is still good. They said it was put on wrong in the beginning. We have 8" of ICE built up on our patio cover and the problems with leakage on the front. Man, what a worry! I am listening to him right now and he said that it looks like there is leakage behind our siding. Great......

Denine, I hate that "fuzzy" feeling like you have right now. When my head gets all stuffy and I feel dizzy it is like I am on a different planet.

Barb, IT IS COLD!!!! Snow all week and freezing temps. Not what I want!

I just went to weigh in today and bought more weight loss weeks. It makes me go in 3 times a week. I can't do it anymore once a week. My attitude was to eat on the weekends and hope to have it off by my weigh in on Friday. It caught up to me. I bought 30 weeks but am thinking about another 22, making it another year. Just don't know what to do.

 

[Mickey02]

I am just not a happy camper today. Seems this past month has been really a challenging time for me. One thing after another and to top it all off I just noticed I have dots on my shirts. Grrrrrrrrrr

I am struggling with anger issues. NO LECTURES PLEASE! my ex husband cut his child support in half this month. I was kind of expecting it because he has been a complete bu** since day one. Tiffany did turn 19 the middle of the month but since I pay for her car insurance her college all her trips back and forth give her spending money every month and support her the rest of the year I was hoping he would give me a small break. He never helped with school supplies extra expenses etc... Didn't usually get Christmas presents, birthday or any other gifts for them while they were young. Now that they are older he calls them and tells them it was my fault he stayed away. The girls are ok with him and will see him. I am just so frustrated today with the way things are. Please don't say I am not being a good Mom or "Don't be that kind of Mom" I just can't handle any lectures today. I know this is the way things are and have always been. My girls have forgiven him because he is their Dad and I'm sure that is the way it should be. I am trying everyday to forgive him but it is hard today. He told Tiffany he could not help her with college because he does not have any money then turned around the next month and bought a brand new Land Rover.

Sorry to vent. I guess I am a little touchy because I am worried about Jaymee and yes she will be fine and this time will pass but it hurts to know she is crying and being yelled at. She is being forced to cuss which is something that is very foreign to her. She had to stand up in front of everyone and say "I am a F**** liar" I still wish she did not make the decision to go into the Airforce because she has such a gentle spirit and it will be tuff for her. I have not told her "I told you so" and I won't. I do tell her I am supporting her and I am proud of her in all my letters. I have written to her almost every day. I am trying to be a good Mom to her and I stand behind the daughter I love even though I don't think she made the right choice.

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Barb - I am so sorry.

 

[Mickey02]

Thanks Heidi- I don't mean to sound so negitive I am just a little down today.

Happy thoughts.......

 

[#1Disfan]

Barb- I couldn't even imagine how tough it is with your ex...I understand your anger. Thinking of you!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Oh Barb , there is no way in the world that I would lessen what you are feeling today. YOU are the great parent, that cares, loves and helps. The kids can see that and will never forget it. Believe me, I am a product of a broken home and my mom meant more to me than my dad could ever. She was there for us every step of the way. Did I forgive and forget my dad? Nope, just moved on. It was easier on me not to carry a grudge. My 2 older sisters did it the other way and life was hard on them. As far as Jaymee, you are 100% right. She definitely has the gentle spirit and being yelled at would be hard for her. She will probably toughen up as the weeks and months go on but right now it is totally hard on her. I believe that making her get up and swear was/is WRONG!!!! It doesn't make her a better soldier or whatever to be able to say the f....word!! I honestly, honestly would be having the exact same feelilngs that you are today. Have I made you feel better?? Probably not but I thought you should know that I understand your feelings and that they are exactly how I would be feeling. I can say time will heal and I know that but it is hard for you to understand that right now. Just know that we are here for you!

Heidi, guess what????? I thought of you last night. On Feb 3&4 McDonalds is going to have a two day sale on McNuggets. Are you sitting down? Fifty nuggets, count them, FIFTY nuggets for 7.99. It sounds exactly what you would want!!!!

 

[Mickey02]

Sandy-Yes you did make me feel better. Just knowing I have the blessing of counting you guys as friends makes me feel stronger and encouraged.

I have a feeling when we go to Texas for Jaymee's graduation Bob will have to hold me back from kicking some Sgt Bu**!!

Jaymee was so cute. She asked Bob if he would wear his uniform to her graduation. I told Bob she is probably wanting to use his rank to scare her Sgt. heeheeheehee GOOD GIRL JAYMEE! That's my girl.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Too cute about Bob's uniform. Jaymee is sure thinking on that one!

Heidi, guess what????? I thought of you last night. On Feb 3&4 McDonalds is going to have a two day sale on McNuggets. Are you sitting down? Fifty nuggets, count them, FIFTY nuggets for 7.99. It sounds exactly what you would want!!!!

OMG, Count me in...I will be in McNugget heaven. Move over Ronald McDonald, I will be buying and eating 50 McNuggets on both days. YUM!!!!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

I just knew that McNugget heaven was right for you, Heidi!

 

[Mickey02]

OMG, Count me in...I will be in McNugget heaven. Move over Ronald McDonald, I will be buying and eating 50 McNuggets on both days. YUM!!!!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

I am sooooo cold. What's crazy about it is that I am INSIDE. I guess just sitting around coloring with Graci makes me cold.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Heidi, I just thought of something. Do the girls like chicken nuggets? You could or WE could have a chicken McNugget pig out night.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Stacey, you are now my new best friend. THANKS so much for helping me with the screen saver. I think I am pretty hot stuff now!

 

[Mickey02]

Who's booking the Panama Cruise tomorrow?? Which one??

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

OMG, I just priced out the Eastern Panama Canal cruise and it totaled up to a few dollars less of $5,000 for a category 9. Whoa, that is a lot of money.

 

[Mickey02'sMom]

Good morning

I am back among the living and feeling better than I have for a long time....even been spring cleaning the kitchen and enjoying it. I went shopping yesterday and bought a few new things for it and that helps me feel like I am getting something done. I got a new red dish drainer and a set of rubbermaid red containers....my kitchen is red, black and almond. I want to get a set of new dishes but can't find anything I really like....

That does sound like a lot of money Heidi....when we went on the repo cruise it was around $5000 for l7 days and l2 ports of call. It was and probably will always be Dick's favorite cruise. He would like to do it again someday and Patti wants to do it so we just might in the future....it depends on his health.

He has to have a test in his lower heart tomorrow to see about the pressure. The doctor told him he may have to move to sea level one of these days. I know he wants to work as long as he can...I think it makes him feel like he still has value. He has worked since he was 8 years old so old habits are hard to break. I guess we would move to Hobbs to be with Patti. He loves heat and I hate it but Texas isn't any better...and between San Saba and Hobbs I would pick Hobbs. Linda is only 300 miles from Patti so that is not bad. Hopefully it is in the far future.....we will have to wait and see what the test shows. The doctor told him to go on the oxygen 24/7 but he isn't doing it. Just uses it at night and when he rides his exercise bike. His specialist told him not to use it except at night the last time he saw him before Christmas so that is what he is going by.

I had lost 20 pounds when I was sick those 30 days but have put 5 back on so now to go on a healthy diet and try to get down to l45. At least that is where I think I want to be...will have to wait and see how I look.

Denine, how are you feeling now? Is your back problems related to nursing? I have a friend that was a nurse and she has all kinds of problems from lifting the patients..

It is almost 7 so better get my day started.....the kitchen calls.
