Marci - You owe me now. I just got a chance to catch up and sent it just a little while ago.

Tracie - so glad to hear that the stuff helped bean#2. I'm not sure which is harder, being a parent or being a kid.

that is a hoot.
i laughed hard when i saw that

Good morning all!
I haven't been on as much as normal in the past couple weeks. My DSIL (sis-in-law) was diagnosed with lung cancer in January, and despite radiation and a few chemo treatments, she continued to get worse. It spread all over her body and she finally got so bad a couple weeks ago that she had to go in the hospital on oxygen. She passed away a week ago Sunday. .

you and the family are in my prayers. i know this is a difficult time for you. your "family" here that lives inside this box care about you. everyone here is thinking of you. no one ever is ready to let a loved one go.

Dealing with alot of 6th grade girl nastiness against bean #1 in school . Its been going on since early March. The girls have totally broken her spirit and really gotten to her. She stayed home from her field trip yesterday because of all this mess.
My back is still a bit painful and stiff - my insurance company's repair shop ordered the parts for the car and that takes 5 business days (they come from Korea for the Kia Sedona) so hopefully they can get it in next week. Its an 8 day repair.
:

first of all i get very angry with anyone messing with our bean #!.
you want me to call their mothers?

let bean #1 know that a sad part of life is there are meanies out there in middle school. high school can be just as bad when girls get hateful. i see a lot of it and never tolerate it when i am in the classroom.
bean #1 will learn how not to act from this experience. she will be the mature one in the class. give her lots of hugs from us. she will be able to handle it and it will make her more wiser and kinder.

I just wanted to take a moment and thank all of you who post- you make my day!


I read this first every day, and then look at the world news.


KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED.
got a phone call a few minutes ago that they can do the bone scan on my foot wed afternoon. i go in the morning for the iv that will show anything, and the test is in the pm.
THINK I WILL GLOW AFTERWARDS??????

you make our day also homie.

tossing mummy dust your way for great results for the bone scan.
hope whatever the problem is with your footsie, it can be corrected without surgery and pain.


well homies, so glad i could hop on the thread today.
i miss all of you when i am not here.

and keisha, hope mom is home now with you and doing better.

Hi all-
Sorry haven't posted since Sunday. Been pretty busy lately.
Just got a call this morning from one of my cousins that her father passed away early this morning. This is my Great Uncle that passed. he was in and out of the hospital since January. I had to call my mom at work about it. My mom sent me an email earlier this morning that my great uncle wasn't doing so good. My cousin that called me is the exact same age as me.
Anyways, hopefully tomorrow I can buy some new pants, as I don't have anything that is summery and looks nice for the wake.

Yesterday, my DD had a girl scout activity at this nature center that is close by. The girls were doing the 1800's stuff- making potato soup, corn bread, etc. It is in a log cabin in the nature center that is a mile in-walking a mile to the cabin and walking a mile back to the cars. And it was about 90 degrees here yest.! And no a/c in the log cabin, but it was nice and windy out, which was good! DD was so tired yest and I was tired too!

Now it is raining here. Expecting some storms this afternoon and tonight.

 

[roseprincess]

to all that has lost a loved one recently.

to all having toe problems and other injuries. My DH woke up with a stiff neck today. He still went to work, but hard for him to turn his neck.

tlinus- to your DD. I went to Catholic school for 1 yr as a freshman in HS. I had the same problems as your DD. The girls were pretty mean to me. One girl even threw empty pop cans at me, on school property!, really! At the catholic school I went to, the nuns were so oblivious of what was going on, Alot of smoking in the bathrooms- I think maijuana smoking, too. I didn't smoke anything, but it was so smokey in the bathrooms!

Ok, gotta run as my kids are getting off the bus very soon.

Have a good day everyone.

Sorry to hear about your Great Uncle roseprincess.

Good morning all!
I haven't been on as much as normal in the past couple weeks. My DSIL (sis-in-law) was diagnosed with lung cancer in January, and despite radiation and a few chemo treatments, she continued to get worse. It spread all over her body and she finally got so bad a couple weeks ago that she had to go in the hospital on oxygen. She passed away a week ago Sunday. I want to urge any of you who smoke, to please try to quit. I've seen what it can do. My DH quit the day his sister was diagnosed with lung cancer. I don't know if you all have noticed, but I changed my signature line in February. It did say that we were possibly planning a trip to Universal in March for Spring Break, but most likely June. We put that trip on hold until next year because we couldn't go that far away with her in the condition that she was in. We had always wanted to take her with us (she was a really fun person!), but there was always one reason or another that she couldn't go with us. She was only 42. We are coping pretty well with her death because she was suffering and it was a terrible thing to see her in such pain and discomfort. We will miss her terribly, but we know she is in a better place.

Sorry to hear about your loss. How is your DH doing? Did you SIL have a DH & kids? I lost a sister to brain cancer in May 2005, & know how hard it is to watch them suffer. You want so much to be able to help them in any way, but you're totally helpless. I pray you all soon find strength & peace, during this difficult time.

 

[tarheelmjfan]

Tracie,
I feel for you. My DS started High School this year, & went through a deep depression for a few months. It was like he changed overnight. I've spent much of the year holding my breath all day, every day waiting for a call from school. After many prayers & sleepless nights, he's finally getting back to his old self. Noone told me my child going through school would be much more difficult on me than when I went through it myself. Tell Bean #1 to hang in there, & mommy too. Thankfully, summer's just around the corner. :sun: It's great that she won't be in the same situation next year.

roseprincess,
Sorry for the loss of your Great Uncle.

 

[bubba's mom]

Sorry for the loss of your Uncle Rosemarie.....seems to be a lot of "bad" news around lately your family is another I have added to my list of "to be remembered"......

 

[bubba's mom]

this was next to that sign:

it's a raven!!!



.......and ya know.....come to think of it, that sign wouldn't have been HALF as funny if it didn't say "Bird Brain!" under it....(with the "!" at the end of it......

 

[keishashadow]

quote "mac" raven --- nevermore....our group's run of bad luck's gotta change soon

mom's still in hospital, drs are hiding from me; think they're CYA-ing since she's elderly & running every test known to man, thanks for the support. She usually drove me crazy but, now the house seems empty without her (my wakeup call to be a better daughter).

yankeepenny - my youngest DS had that test last year. Don't faint when you see the size of the needle (it's a huge silver metal thing - looks like something out of an old Frankenstein movie). My kiddos' eyes bugged outthought he was going to bolt . He said it was no worse than any shot he's ever gotten though...moreso the bark worse than the bite. Good luck

tlinus - mean girls are jerks, and @ a parochial school too

I received some good news today. We were all but certain that my dad had mesothelioma, if not that then an very bad case of emphezema (sp?). Well he called this afternoon and the doc said there was some scaring from asbestos exposure in the past but other than that he had a small case of emphezema. He wants him to have yearly cat scans to keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't change. We are all so relieved.

Keisha make sure those doctors do all that is necessary. Hope you get some answers soon.

 

[t-and-a]

Thank you all so much for expressing your condolences; you are all truly special people!
Keisha:
I hope that your mother is doing better! My mother went through some neurological problems last year and it can be quite frustrating to everyone, especially your mom.
Tracie:
I hope your daughter's problems get better quick! I know how hard it is to watch a child go through tough times!

Sorry to hear about your loss. How is your DH doing? Did you SIL have a DH & kids? I lost a sister to brain cancer in May 2005, & know how hard it is to watch them suffer. You want so much to be able to help them in any way, but you're totally helpless. I pray you all soon find strength & peace, during this difficult time.

Mi SIL was divorced and never had children, but she had a boyfriend who had lived with her for almost two years. The boyfriend had a 13 year old son who lived with them and had become quite attached to her.

My DH is doing better than I expected he would. We would both stay up late and cry when she got to the point where it looked like she wasn't going to make it. The Monday night before she passed away, we went to see her and she looked terrible. She saw us tearing up and we both hugged her and told her that we loved her. She told us not to worry, she'd be around for another week. She died the next Sunday, my DH was at her side. Before that, whenever she would see any of us start to get down, she would smile and say that we were just jealous because she was going to Heaven first.

My DH is doing quite well with his quitting smoking. He has only regressed a few times and hasn't smoked at all since March. I know he wants one, but he won't give in.

We are trying to be strong because we know that she would want us to get on with our lives. That's the kind of person she was. She was the life of the party at Christmas, and we will really miss her!

Lori,
I hope your dad's condition is treatable! My thoughts and prayers will be with you.
