Toystoryduo's Journal....Moving Forward From Here

[Amy&Dan]

Welcome Home Tracy!!!!

Omg, can I just say I love your list? I love those mashed potatoes too!!! And Amaretto sours, well those also make my list of things I love. WP Express has become our new cs favorite and the main reason we are going to do the QSDP next trip. It is so good!! That basket your dh gave you sounds incredible. What a guy!

So back to the grind you poor thing! December will be here before you know it and you have money already in the pot for it. Good girl!

As for your weight, I hear you on that. Four pounds is not that bad given your free dining. And being in the car makes you bloat. I bet you will see at least half that drop very quickly. You can do it Tracy!! I have great faith in you and me to make this happen for us. Because we deserve it and we can do it!!

One of these days, you and I will have a girls trip out to WDW with other Wish Sisters and sip those Amaretto Sours in our bikinis and be very smug while we do so!

I'm glad you are safely back, Tracy, and that you had a wonderful trip! Seems like you just left, though. Vacation time passes way too quickly.

Thank you, thank you, bless you, for the card & Starbucks! I cried when it arrived....but good tears. Then, I used it the morning of my Allergist appt, and it was truly a blessing. I'll post the whole story in my Journal, but suffice it to say here, that the Lord used you to brighten my day!!

Love your list Tracy. Y'all were very busy. Wolfgang Puck Express? I have never eaten there, but have heard lots of good things about it. Think I am going to have to put it on my lists of things to try.

Birthday at Disney, I can't think of a better place to celebrate. Sounds like you had a great one.

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks ladies.

I'm sorry I haven't been posting....I've been sick since we got home from Florida and I think it's getting worse. My DD8 is in a soccer tournament today and it's been raining all day. The rain doesn't help matters any.

It may be a couple of days before I am posting again. Just wanted to stop in and let you all know I'm thinking about you and praying for you, even though I'm not here.

Have a good weekend!

 

[eyor44]

Tracy, take care of yourself and I hope you feel better soon. Maroo just got back from Disney a couple weeks ago and she got the flu.

We also had to sit in the rain this morning at soccer and I am sure that didn't make you feel any better. Stay inside and keep dry and warm. We'll be praying that you are better soon.

 

[traceycooper]

Glad you had a great trip Tracy, sorry your feeling ill, get well soon.

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks Lisa and Tracey.

This is me still. --->

I'm not feeling better at all. I didn't sleep well last night despite taking Nyquil before bed. As a matter of fact, I think I got a whopping 4 hours of sleep. I think I see a nap in my future.

The plan for today is to drink a lot of fluids, do as much homeschooling as I can, and maybe do some SR and DISing. I've got to take it easy because as we all know, moms don't get sick days.

My to do list keeps getting longer and longer....If I have some energy this afternoon, I may tackle some of it, but it will be something easy like folding clothes. (or maybe I'll DIS all day! )

That's all from here....Have a wonderful day!

 

[traceycooper]

sending some to help you feel better Tracy - they usually work
well done for taking it easy, get well soon

 

[eyor44]

Feel better soon Tracy. Gotta give in to it every once in a while and just rest (or Dis)

I'll some to Tracey's. She's right, they always seem to help.

I hope you got plenty of rest today and will feel better tomorrow.

 

[Amy&Dan]

Hey Wish Sis, I am so sorry you are sick. Home from WDW and sick too, no fair! How was the soccer tournament?

Yep, mom's don't get sick days but I hope you got a nap at least. Hang in there and feel better soon!

 

[toystoryduo]

Thank you, ladies.

I'm still not anywhere near 100%, but I do feel like I have turned a corner. I actually sound worse than I feel! LOL! It is rainy and miserable here so that doesn't help any. I am praying that DD7's soccer practice is canceled for this evening.

My goals for today are:

* Homeschooling (done)

* Make dinner ( done)

* SR (ongoing...$2 away from a $100 Disney gift card! )

My grandma is going in for a procedure tomorrow and has to have a surgical team on standby. I would appreciate any good thoughts or prayers you can send her way. Thanks!

That's about all for now...Hope everyone has a great day today!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Tracy, I am glad you are starting to feel better, just take it easy and don't overdo!

I will keep your grandma in my prayers, keep us posted.

I hope soccer practice was cancelled! I so remember those days...

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks Amy.

Quick update.... (It's been a long day!)

My grandma went in for her procedure this morning and the doctor was unable to insert the balloon or put a stent in her artery. They couldn't give her anymore of the dye due to kidney issues so they will either try to do the procedure next week or they will send her to the Cleveland Clinic or UH for surgery. Her artery is 90% blocked.

She will most likely be sent home tomorrow and then she'll have an appointment on Friday or Monday to decide the next course of action with her doctor. Please continue praying.....

I am feeling somewhat better. If the weather is nice tomorrow, we may head out to the zoo to walk around for a few hours. It will be nice to get out in the sun.

I'll try and post more tomorrow....Gonna watch "Jonas" with the girls and then head to bed early. Have a great evening!

P.S. Soccer was canceled yesterday. Good thing too cause it was pouring down rain at 6:00 p.m.!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Tracy, I am sorry your grandma's procedure couldn't be completed, hopefully they'll get it taken care of quickly. I'll keep her and all of you in my prayers.

Hope you get to go the zoo, I love to go when its fall and not so hot!

Glad the soccer game was cancelled, Mother Nature gave you the night off!

 

[eyor44]

Tracy
I hope Grandmother is doing okay and able to go home today. Hopefully the doctors will figure out the best course of action. We will continue to pray for her.

I hope you are feeling better. and you get to enjoy a bit of the zoo. I love the zoo in the Fall. How was Jonas? I have yet to watch it all the way through with DD.

Lisa

Thanks ladies.

I spoke with Grandma this morning and she told me that they were going to release her today. She has an appointment next week where they will decide what the next course of action will be. Thank you for your continued good thoughts and prayers.

Today has been a good day. We got school done early and got some running around done. We also decided to paint my DD7's room this weekend. It really needs it.

I am feeling better. I'm at about 75% right now.

I ordered my $100 Disney gift card from SR on Tuesday and I cashed out at MySurvey for a $20 check as well. More money for Disney!

That's about all from here...Hope everyone has a nice evening!

 

[toystoryduo]

I'm starting to feel much better. I still have some "yuck" lingering, but I feel closer to 100% than I have in a couple of weeks.

Since coming back from Florida, I feel like it has been rather chaotic here. The house needs a good cleaning and we really, really, really need to de-clutter. We have so much junk lying around that it's not funny. I'm trying to get everyone to pitch in and help get some organization going here, but it's not working out too well at the moment. Not only that, but we have been eating out way too much lately as well. Gotta get back into our routines and back to saving money again!

No real plans for the evening...May grocery shop or may not...May cook dinner or may not....The Browns may win or may not....LOL!

Hope everyone has a nice evening!

Glad you are feeling better Tracy it is the pits when it hangs on so long.

Hope your Grandma is doing well and good luck to her- you are lucky to still have her.I lost mine way too early.

Have a good day

Linda

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks Linda.

I've got 5 goals for today...Without further ado, here they are:

1. Workout

2. Transition clothing in closets and drawers from spring/summer to fall/winter

3. Get the Disney budget done

4. Start my Christmas list

5. Start planning DD8's birthday party

I really want to de-clutter as much as possible over the next few weeks. I figure that organizing clothes is a good way to start. Any clothes that don't fit will go to charity. As we begin the de-cluttering process, maybe I'll find some things I can eBay or put on Craigslist as well.

Got lots to do today! Have a great day!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Hey Tracy,

I don't know why, but whenever I come back from a trip, we end up eating out quite a bit for a few weeks. Its hard to get back in the routine! And I am so glad I read your post, seeing your entry about giving stuff to charity reminds me I have to put some stuff out for an ARC pickup I arranged tomrrow! Good thing, I visited you tonight.

Hope you got your goals in today, good job setting those! And great job with those gift cards and other money for Disney. I so need to do that stuff, I somehow deleted that pm you sent me about that SR info. When you get a chance, do you mind filling me in on that again?

Glad you are almost all the way better!

And don't worry about the package, it will get here and when it does, my curiosity will be satisfied!
