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

[toystoryduo]

Thanks ladies.

Mom is not doing well at the moment and my grandma was admitted to the hospital with chest pain and high blood pressure over the weekend.

We are going to try and have a "normal" day here, but I don't know if this is possible. I appreciate your prayers.

 

[Lesli54]

Sending lots of prayers your way. Hopefully, the dr will help your mom see more clearly what is really going on. Take care.

 

[Amy&Dan]

Tracy, I am so sorry you are all going through this right now. Hopefully the doctor can help your mom to understand what she actually does need. I hope your grandma is okay. I'll keep the whole family in my prayers, keep us posted.

 

[toystoryduo]

Thank you, ladies.

The plan for today is to get back into our routine. That means shutting the phone off until this afternoon.

Today's Plan:

* Workout (weights)

* SR

* Homeschooling

* FPU

At FPU tonight, we will be talking about bargain shopping. I can't wait!

Thanks for your continued prayers....I really appreciate them!

 

[goldcupmom]

Congrats on the AWESOME loss!!!!

Still praying for your mom.....& you!!

Glad you can add some days in Sept to help with the loss of the Dec trip.

sounds like things are going really well for you in many ways right now.

Have a GREAT weekend!

Hey girl. I hope today is going good for you.

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks ladies.

Yesterday was a good day. Homeschooling went well, FPU was good, and I got my $50 Disney gift card from SR! I was able to make a payment on our Disney trip with that gift card. We are at the 35% paid mark and while it doesn't sound like we have made much progress, that's the total before my DH starts deejaying.

I'm not feeling well today. I think the stress of the past couple of weeks is catching up with me. Not only that, but in addition to not feeling well, my allergies are acting up and TOM is here. Sounds like fun, huh? I'm trying to keep today a low key kind of day....

Today's Plan:

* Homeschooling

* Work for DH

* SR

My mom has a doctor's appointment today. Please pray that she would keep it and that she would be honest with the doctor about what has been going on. Thanks!

I hope everyone has a great day today! Thank God tomorrow is TGIF!!!!

 

[traceycooper]

hope the Dr's app went well Tracy
and that your gran & dad are ok too.
and that YOU are ok, stress can do horrible things so please try to relax - easier said than done i know!!!
like you said TGIF tomorrow !!!

 

[eyor44]

hope Mom kept the appt and he has the wisdom to help her.

 

[keenercam]

Hi, sweetie! Just here to give you a I hope your Mom's doctor appointment went better than expected today. What a difficult situation for your family. Thinking of you, sweetie!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Tracy, 35% paid off before the deejaying is quite the accomplishment! So good job. Sounds like you had a very good day on Wednesday, you deserved it!

I so relate to what you are going through with your mom. My mom was frequently less than honest with doctors, it was so aggravating for me to have to deal with that. You want to just be a fly on the wall and then whisper the truth in the doctor's ear and it doesn't work that way. Just remember that you, your husband and girls have to be your primary focus. Easier said than done I know. I hope the appt. went well and that some answers and improvement happen soon. Your always in my prayers Wish Sis.

Have a good weekend!

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks ladies.

My mom's doctor's appointment went well according to her. Thanks for your good thoughts and prayers and please keep them coming!

Weigh-in went well yesterday...With TOM here, I showed a 1 pound loss on the scale. It's not much, but I will take it!

Today, I have a meeting at church and then we're just gonna hang out for the rest of the day. Maybe head to the mall or the local outlet mall to people watch and walk around. I'm sure we'll have a Disney meeting as well. In 44 days, I can make our ADRs!

Have a great weekend everyone!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Tracy, I am so glad that things went well with the doctor. Keep us posted and I will definitely keep those prayers headed out your way!

That is awesome that you lost a pound in the midst of TOM! When you weigh next week, I bet you lose even more. You are working hard and its paying off, great job!

Have a great rest of the weekend.

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks Amy!

My allergies are out of control....Sore throat, sneezing, runny nose and congestion...blech! I took a non drowsy allergy pill a little while ago and am starting to feel better. My DDs weren't feeling all that well last night so we decided to skip church this morning. I think they really need some extra sleep.

If the girls are feeling better later on, we'll probably head out to the mall or to the local outlets to walk around. If not, we'll chill out at home and my DH will work on the car and cut the grass.

Last night, we watched movies of when my DDs were babies. I can't believe how much I miss that stage! It makes me appreciate the stage they are in now because one day, I will look back and miss this stage too.

As we were watching the videos last night, I found myself asking, "Why am I still so heavy?" I've had this extra weight on my body for over 8 years now and it just stinks. I can't figure out what it is that is blocking my progress in losing weight. It's something I really need to think about.

That's about all from here....Hope everyone has a blessed day!

 

[traceycooper]

hope the allergies are clearing up Tracy!
glad your mom dr's app appears to have gone well

Congrats on the 1 lb loss
have a great weekend

 

[lovinaz]

CONGRATS on the loss!

I hope everyone's allergies clear up soon! I deal with that all the time, I know it's no fun...

I'm glad all went well with your mom's Dr appt. Have you ever thought of going with her so you can hear first hand what is going on?

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks ladies.

Another day; more allergy issues. I took some 24 hour non drowsy allergy meds yesterday, but all that does is take the edge off. It doesn't alleviate the symptoms completely and to be honest, I was miserable even after taking meds yesterday.

Today's Plan:

* Homeschooling
* SR
* Fold laundry
* 24 and laundry at my MIL's house

I'm going to try and take it easy today. I am really not feeling all that well... I'll probably spend some time on the DIS later on today planning our trip. I think I will be able to handle some time in front of the computer, but cleaning the house....not so much.

Have a great day ladies!

P.S. Please send some good thoughts and my DH's way....He has a job to do today that could lead to more work down the road. Thanks!

 

[eyor44]

prayers for mom and for DH. Hope you feel better. I deal with allergies year round.

 

[Amy&Dan]

Tracy, I'll keep praying for your mom and for your dh's opportunity. And some prayers for you too my friend!

I love watching my kids' old videos, I laugh and cry, it seems like time just moves so fast. And like you, I sit there and wonder why I let myself keep being the weight I am! But we are making progress, we both just need to remember that. But its not easy!

I hope you are feeling better. dd and I have both been miserable with allergies this year, but I think ours may be getting a tad better. They do take it out of you, so I hope you did take it easy today. And I find those non drowsy meds can still make you feel a bit laggy. Hang in there!

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks ladies.

I am not feeling well at all today. I saw my DH off to work this morning and promptly went back to bed. I am really going to try and keep it low key today. I need some time to rest and heal.

Today's Plan:

* Homeschooling

* SR

* Work for DH

* Walk later if I feel better

I'll probably spend some time on the DIS as well. We still don't have our plans in place for our Disney trip yet. I know that we have some time yet, but it will be time to make those ADRs before we know it.

Hope everyone has a great day ahead!
