One Step at a Time - November 2014

I'll be thinking of you at your cancer check, Sun. :heartbeat:

[Dottie Belle]

sun I will be thinking about you too...and I agree that the kids want way to expensive toys considering they don't come to visit, which is their parents fault but we spent 4 days visiting this summer and his granddaughter couldn't bother to spend any time with us then we get her birthday/Christmas list...his X suggested a lump of coal.....so it is gift certs or the like and not as much as they want.....
fen I am NOT going to have the colonoscopy unless there is NO alternative....give me a little pill with a camera and I will swallow it and they doc can watch where it goes....bleh on the whole procedure...
It was warmer today so we finally got the bulbs planted and the ornamental grass cut back so the front of the house looks better. Landscape really needs to be re-done yet again..the last folks did NOT listen to be about low maintenance....I have learned a lot since then and wont make the same mistake....like with doctors and pushing of meds and that is a totally other story..
Night all.

Morning everyone - I woke up 20 mins before alarm was due to go off so got up.....

Dottie - my doc and I have come to an agreement - I wont have the colonoscopy - not 'cos of the procedure but 'cos of the fasting and the gunk one has to swallow - but what he wants me to do if I won't have that, is to do the fecal card things (sorry everyone first thing in the morning - :happy2 every year for three years - which I am fine with. It is another alternative to the camera swallow too .... and much cheaper for insurance.

Got to go and get ready .... have a great day everyone, Hugs, Sun XX

Oh Dots...I am so, so , so sorry. I was shocked too, but I completely get it.
Yes, Pauly we had a steak and I had some wine. It was nice until I took some Nyquil. Noting bad happened , but hubs said I was rambling and talking and don't remember any of it.
The holidays frustrate me too, but hubs and I talked about making it about the boys and not worrying about anyone else. We bought ourselves a new coffee pot. WOO HOO.
I have been in bed for four days, so I am ready to get out of this house!!! Feeling better, but taking Kleenex to work.
Fen, I am taking my nook to Thanksgiving dinner, I usually sneak off after all the dishes are done while the rest of the house watches football. Need to shower and go
Oh, I have tried to make hubs "get it"for years...and it hasn't hit him yet and he won't quit. so I reckon we walk a tight rope....
I love you all and I am sending extra hugs
I had a colonoscopy a few years ago....much love to J, Fenny.

good luck with the cancer check Sunny Butt.

Read back just a bit. Pauly, you and I are just so much alike! I too, turn into a slut with some wine in me. Hubby loves it, which is probably part of the problem here.
Mama glad you're feeling better! Got some good shot of Brady's butt. If I have time I will post later. Had just the most fabulous weekend and some great bonding time with Erin! The weather was perfect and the game was such an adrenalin rush. When I came home, the boys had cleaned up and prepped the dining room table for Thursday. I love my family.
I'll check in later. Love you all

[fennel]

Pauly, I know the prep is horrible (been there), but it's the best way to screen for colon cancer. One of my cousins died from that only two months ago and she was younger than I am. It's one bad night.



Liz, I am so glad your guys got the place ready for Thanksgiving. Glad you had a great time at the game, too.

[Dottie Belle]

Morning all,
Off to the gym then errands.
The wind is blowing here like a horror movie and the bare, naked trees are swaying...kind of scary..
I feel good this morning..my resolve is back and the wine is in the trash, for good...or no checkers...

[K9Lover]

Hi Everyone!
Just read back. Dotts :hug: Sorry you had such a hard time. It's devestating to go back to drinking (I know the feeling all too well). If I saw that wine back in the fridge I would have just poured it down the drain, let him try to get THAT back!!
I have to admit that when I drink I turn into the biggest slut in the world, I've had more checker tournaments with strangers than I care to (or can't) remember! That's so shameful....OMG. :egad: At least THOSE days are over....
Mama - Are you feeling any better? How's good ol' 'Tucky doing today?
I was a total couch potato ALL weekend. I am on Season Three of Downton Abbey. I had to keep flipping sides on the couch cuz my body would get all sore (that's how long I laid there!). How bad is that. LOL The good thing is I didn't waste any gas or money :happy2:
I am kinda dreading the Holiday time off, my family doesn't do anything. My body is really gonna be sore if I lay on the couch for FOUR days! LOL
Sierra is doing good!! She is coming to for the weekend on December 12th...my oldest nephew is graduating from the Fire Academy so the whole family will get together! I can't wait to see all the "kids".
Guess that's enough rambling for now. No falling off the toilet stories, sorry. LOL
Love you guys!

[mama bear]

I get pretty frisky liquored up, too.
I am coughing so much at work that I actually went into the bathroom and just and coughed and coughed.....guess this gunk is finally draining....
Tucky is being really good, believe it or not. I think HR and my boss have terrified her.
I laid in bed for four days watching Sons and I had such bad cabin fever.....Hubs said four guys called in Friday!!
I 'll be looking for Tom Brady's butt......his face isn't bad either!!!
I'm glad Sierra is doing well, but I am still worrying about her Momma.......
did I tell y'all that a loose pit bull came into our back yard and chased Dixie Kitten into the pool and jumped in after her....if we had not been home sick, she would have been killed
Bret rescued the cat and I, like a total idiot, grabbed the dog's collar and got him out of the pool. Bret would have let him drown. Grant came racing out with a bat and whacked the dog across the back and it ran off screaming. It was awful.

[fennel]

Oh, mama! How horrible! I really think you should keep the cats in the house if you have neighbors that let their dogs roam. Pits aren't the only ones who will go after cats. I'm glad the kitty is okay.

[NoraC]

Hi all. Haven't been able to get caught up yet. Glad you're feeling some better, mama. How about the other sickies here?

I was a wild woman too when drinking.

[mama bear]

Fenny...I know. But my two kitties love to sit in the back and watch the lizards and skwerls.....plus we don't need a litter box. I guess that sounds selfish.......but to my knowledge there were no pits in the area.
My cold meds are wearing off...I am starting to fade

[paulywogg]

Hey all,how'd it go Sun?Mama,i'd be pissed at someone else's dog in my yard,thank goodnessyou guys were home,can you imagine?K9, glad Sierra is adjusting well,and i don't blame you for feeling antsy with all the holiday time off,you're gonna get bedsores haha,ugh,home and tired i'm glad i threw in chili this morning,it was all i could do is throw in the corn bread, F cooking today,i'm beat! not really busy at work but busy enough
