Sounds like you had a lovely weekend. And you are starting with a personal trainer - that is so awesome! I would love that. I hope it went well and I hope the recital was great!

We did have a great weekend! I met with her on Tuesday and we really clicked which I'm thankful for! So far this week I've kept to plan ... now let's see how the weekend goes

Wow I can't believe how far behind I am.

So sorry to hear about the tragedy in your family. It's going to take some time for everyone to come to grips with this.

I've been so busy at work and never seem to have time to get on computer for any length of time so when I was told at work that we have a mandatory layoff day for today and Friday and possibly Monday, I was so excited!!

I've spent the day cleaning the house, changing sheets, had coffee and lunch in the gazebo. Had a client for a haircut this afternoon and spent an hour sitting in
the sun reading!!! What a great way to spend the day.

I'm glad your trip to the states went well. BTW, did you buy those crackers for me? If you did, I will plan to pick them up from you this weekend!!
Or did you eat them?? lol They are good!
Hey, if you and Jaz are interested in a particular professional flat iron, let me know because I could get you one for wholesale price since I can shop at the wholesale beauty shops with my hairstyling lisence. I do it all the time for my clients.
Well, I hope you're enjoying your day and the sun!!!
I'm off to do some groceries now!

Debbie

Thank you so much for your kind words....much appreciated

I did buy you your crackers! I wasn't sure what flavours to buy so I got 2 different ones but now I can't remember which ones I won't be around this weekend but I will send you a PM to figure something out...how does that sound?

Thank for you the offer on the flat iron...I may take you up on that....we usually each have our own and now we're down to one and I would hate for anything to happen to it and not have a back up!!

Enjoy your few days off!!

That sounds great! Actually my sister gave me a last minute invite out to her cabin at Grand Beach for the weekend...so I won't be around either!
We'll get together soon. I'll wait to hear from you on FB.
Have a great weekend.

Hi, my friend. Haven't seen an update lately and just wanted to pop in and say hi and let you know I'm thinking about you.

Just popping in to say hi and hope your weekend is going great so far! That's great that you have someone to help encourage you with your weight loss I actually just started a meal plan four day's ago and I've lost four pounds so far! I can email you the pdf of the meal plan if you want! It doesn't include anything extra, which is really nice! You basically have to have so many servings in each group a day. For me, i'm eating 1300 calories, and I have to have four proteins (meat, fish, egg, cheese), one dairy, one bean, one nut, two grains, five vegetables, two fruits, four oils (butter or oil) and six 8-oz glasses of water. I haven't been working out at all, so four pounds is really good! I'm actually headed over to my ptr to do an update right now!

Hello Dis-friends! Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend and all the Dad`s get spoiled today! I have fallen a little behind on our TR and I need to tell you all why

Last Monday our mom was admitted to Emergency...she has lung disease and a damaged heart valve from rheumatic fever as a child. This valve has haunted us since 2005. She went for an angiogram in April and was sent home with oxygen after the procedure....this shouldn`t have happened! Needless to say things aren`t going well.

To correct this she requires open heart surgery and there is a lot to discuss as to the complications that can arise. She was all for the surgery last week until she heard she may not survive the surgery, if she does survive she could be in the hospital for up to 8 months etc etc etc...she now doesn`t know what she wants to do. We are to have a family meeting on Tuesday with all the doctors (surgeon, lung specialist and cardiologist) to decide. I have no idea what the prognosis is if she doesn`t have the surgery and the thought of surgery with all her current health problems is just plain scary.

I contemplated not saying anything on the Boards, but Peg asked me to put together a post and ask that everyone say a special prayer for our Mom...we believe in the power of prayer and postive thinking and would sure appreciate all the help we can get!

We haven`t made a decision on the trip yet and as of right now we are still going. We have 2 months to go until we leave and a lot can happen in that time frame. Our mom told us yesterday that wè were still going because life is for the living.

Thank you all for listening....

We will be saying a prayer for all of you. my friend.

 

[TanzUnited99]

I'm really sorry to hear that - sounds like you and your family need lots of hugs and prayers at the minute

Will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers - esp your mum

Hi Queen...I haven't been on the Dis in ages myself, and was catching up today and read your post. I am so sorry to hear about your mom. Sending prayers and good thoughts!!!

 

[KatMark]

Queen, as we have already discussed, you know that you have Mark's and my prayers on a daily basis. I will be thinking of you guys on Tuesday as you meet with the doctors and discuss all the options.

Your mom sounds just like my dad. He insisted that no matter what happened to him in 2008 that we go on our scheduled trip because it was our 25th anniversary trip and had been planned with our very good friends for so long. Like your mom, he said "life is for the living" and not to put our trip on hold for him.

Sending extra to you and all of your family.

 

[jenbear123]

I am so sorry to hear about this Queen. Of course my thoughts will be with you and your mother at this difficult time. Please keep us posted on what is decided.

So sorry about your Mom. Sending lots of love and pixie dust your way.

Thanks Cara! Looks like we have the globe covered....Canada, USA, England and Kuwait....

So sorry about your mom-- lots of prayers from this house.

 

[snowwhitesmom]

Queen, so sorry to hear about your Mom! My mom had a triple bypass years ago and it was very successful - so keep that in your thoughts, and let me know if u need a shoulder or an ear ( to cry on or to listen, not literally - I am really quite fond of both body parts!) Hope I made you smile - hang in there - I am sending positive energy and good thoughts your way!

[Purpleblanket]

So sorry to hear about your mom. How old is she? I will keep her and your family in my thoughts and in my prayers.
Your mom sounds like a wise woman and I agree that you should go ahead with your plans and your trip. She would probably feel a lot of guilt if she prevented you from going.

Hopefully, the decisions your family have to make will become clearer after you have talked to doctors and surgeons.
Good Luck.

I'll be thinking of you.
