The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 8

[babytrees]

Please pray for Phil right now. I don't know what is going on as I'm at work, but he sounds like he is on the verge of a total breakdown. It is being caused in part because some combination of the high calcium and Vitamin D they had him taking has been keeping him so drowsy for over a week that he can barely function. Now he seems to have come to the end of his rope over these feelings. Luckily, he is of good enough mind that he has made an appointment for this afternoon with a psychologist. For now, I just need him to get himself and Terra into the city and to me safely. He won't be driving so there isn't a danger there, but they can get to me faster than I can get to them and I think time is of the essence as too relieve as much stress as possible as soon as possible. He has asked me to go to the doctor with him so hopefully I can help convey what has been going on lately if he can't. Thank you for any prayers and pixie dust you can spare as this is all a little scary.

Oh Tia!!! I am praying for you, Phil and Tara right now. Please, please keep us informed.

Thanks for all the prayers and PD! The DDA has done it again! I just spoke to my mom and the cathaterization went well, everything is ok and they are getting ready to go home!

Yeah!!!

 

[tmfranlk]

Just wanted to stop in and say HI! I will be back on to update everyone on what's been going on and where I've been. I know I will have A LOT to catch up on! Missed Everyone!!

Oh Tia, I am praying for you all. It must be so scary, yet frustrating at the same time. I also think it is a good idea that you are going along. Keep us posted.

I bow to all of the women of the DDA. You are the most remarkable bunch of women that I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. I am amazed daily by how much each of you accomplish and how much you do for your families, whether a stay at home mom or working outside the home you are all head and shoulders above most of the women that are in my life.

A couple of you posted about having a house keeper. I used to be a house cleaner. I had my own business (great money). I really enjoyed cleaning other peoples homes because I didn't have to do thier laundry and everything was already put away. I went in and dusted, vacuumed, mopped and cleaned the bathrooms. They always looked so good when I left. The hardest part here is the laundry and picking up. The rest is icing on the cake so to speak. It's good to hear how people juggle working and home life. I am always wondering how I will do it all in a couple of years, yet I look forward to finally having some sort of career rather than just a job.

I am OK...Jonathan graduates on Sunday (the same day that Kirsten turns 7) so I am running around like crazy...I can't wait for next week to end. These end of the year activities are killing me!

Bill is good (thanks for asking) The moms are, let's just say fine (for the moment).

****s are back to normal..I think Bill misses it though!!

Hope to see you back more when things slow down, Kristine. Congratulations to Jonathan and a very happy birthday to Kirsten.

Tammi -

I am glad things went well for your dad!

 

[babytrees]

I am forewarning you all that I will more than likely not be on from this afternoon until Monday morning , maybe later. My sister and her family are on their way from New Mexico!! I get to see my nephews and have a busy weekend planned with them.

Abi was part of a Super selling troop for cookie sales and so she received 2 free tickets to Six Flags for tomorrow.
We then paid $40 for two more and it includes parking and lunch so we are going for most of the day there as my sister goes to see other grandparents.
We are going to the ball game with them Sunday afternoon.

My grandma is playing the "o poor me" card. She keeps saying I hope they have time to see me, when are they going to see me. My sister isn't leaving until Tuesday, leaving all day Monday for just Grandma. (Can you tell the woman is getting on my last nerve? )

ETA: (This is post 2112 so symmetrical almost makes me want to stop posting right now for the weekend. ALMOST )

What Deb said!!

I also want to comment on how whenever someone comes here with a problem or trouble in their lives, the amount of compassion shown by others is remarkable. When one of us is down, there is always someone willing to lift her/him up.

 

[tmfranlk]

Could I please have some prayers and pd for my dad, who is undergoing a heart cathaterization (sp?), probably as I type this. He had a stress test last week and there was some blockage, so now they are doing this to figure out the next step. They may not need to do anything, insert stents or do surgery, depending on what is found. He had a heart attack, about 15 yrs ago, and an angioplasty. A year and a half ago he had stents put in for blockage, and now maybe again. Hopefully it will all go well.

Prayers being said for your dad right now. I hope that the cathaterization is enough to do the trick without any further surgery.

Have a great weekend, Theresa. Sounds like a lot of fun!

 

[mommykds]

I'm in Poughkeepsie, which is 75 miles north of Manhattan, so I'm 2-3 hours away from you, depending on where on Long Island you are. (Of course, it could be 7-8 hours if there's lots of traffic )

Um June..the way I drive, you are 1 hour & 10 minutes from me!

 

[triplefigs]

Gina, good to see you!

Tammi, glad your dad did well.

Kristine, how sad about the principal.

Tia, please keep us posted. You, Terra, and Phil are in my prayers. I am so glad he is coming to you ASAP and then to the doctor. It must be such a struggle and so stressful for you to hold your entire family together. I don't think the move to St Louis can come quick enough! Hugs to you!

Theresa, Have a great weekend!

 

[Tammi67]

Does anyone have any info on Niagra Falls? It's about a 3 hr drive from my parents house, so we are thinking of going up for a night or 2 the next time we visit them. I'm looking for nice places to stay, things to do that would interest the kids. I'd prefer to stay on the US side, as I don't know how difficult it is now to go into Canada. If it isn't a hassle, I hear the Canadian side is nicer.

 

[mommykds]

missed it Daniel.

Nope you didn't miss it..it's Sunday..Thanks for the wishes!!!! I can't believe he is going to be 7!!!!
