Hi everyone,

Zoe, you are sooo great to help out with your Dad during this time. It is the best and hardest gift to give. It is unselfish. Hang in there.

Today, I fussed a bit more. I'm still tired and have a sore throat. We made it to all the appointments though.

I've got to get to bed.

My love to you all.

Gentle

Well in that regard I am also getting my exercise as I am back and forth to the kitchen constantly for meds and drinks - and pulling him up in bed over and over (head and footboard of bed are irrelevant to him - OO I pulled something last nite...)

Well,

I'm finally feeling better. Unfortunately, I also ate 6 pieces of cake today at work.:eek: I think I have serious PMS.

I made it through the day. It is now time to catch up with dh.

Tomorrow is another day with my little men.:D I plan on staying close to home tomorrow.

Take care.

Monday was decent. Definitely no complaints. I need to feed my boys now but, I am taking a break. Ds2 is busy crying. I think he is over tired and doesn't know what to do with himself. He's in his room.

Ds1 is downstairs with dh. Hopefully dh will start the sandwiches but, I'd probably better get down there pretty soon.

I am eating better. I swam one lap in the pool and chased after the frisbee in the pool with the boys. We had fun.

bye bye. gotta go.

I've not been on board w/ this for a while, Dad passed away Thursday night and I've been w/ family a lot - I feel like I will be ready soon to get down to business - helping Dad out took a lot of time and energy, I am ready to regroup.

Sure I am.

I'm just so tired and I think I'm probably still numb...

Thanks gentle!

Funny, I read "Turbo Jam" (it's a link at the bottom of the page right now) and I thought, hmm, I'd LOVE some coffee. ha ha... not the thing to do at 10 pm (yeah I know it is probably an exercise video)...

Guess what!! I exercised today! Not hard, but I went, and the apt manager went over some exercises w/ me (the machines are different from what I'm used to and I was winging it) ...

Also ate well! Meaning, some food that will actually do a body good! :)

ttyl - God bless you guys! and happy Independence day! Are you independent or dependent? (ie, coffee, food, stress etc...)

Mostly Dependent on :smiletea: Tea, :smilecoffeecup: Coffee, and God who is probably my biggest cheerleader:anpom:. Here He is screaming Go, Go, Go, Gentle you can do it. He is a good cheerleader. He believes in us when we don't believe in ourselves.

I also think He is saying YAAAA, HURRAY for Zoe!!!! :anpom:

He already knows the plans that He has for us. Plans for a hope and our positive future. Not that everything I experience will be positive by any means, just that He is willing to help me turn my poop--and turn other people's poop that I end up catching on occassion--into beauty. :flwrhrts:. Sometimes I just wish it weren't so hard to grow. Huh Zoe?. Oh well . . . at least I don't stink so darn much in the end.

love ya little momma.

Thanks Gentle. Work was busy yesterday and then I just stayed in after that.

Tweety :heartbeat,

I have no doubt that you deserved a much needed rest :onbch: .

Love ya sweet Tweety.:p :icon_hug: :kiss

Goodnight everyone. Talk to you later. Gotta go read then bed.
