Last post by MsJennJenn - Today at 03:59:47 PMQuote from: Roscoe on Today at 03:35:12 PMMorning all. Time DOES fly. Chey graduated last night....I cried. It's been a rough emotional few days for me, I'm a softy and emotional anyway. God musta stumped His toe when He was working on me and added too much emotion, especially for a tough dude.
He knew what he was doing giving you a "Daddys girl"!! lol

Seems every turn is something to make me wanna run and hide. I think alot of it is the finality of Chey's graduation. I know it is silly, but up until now, she was still my baby. Now she's out doing grown up things and high school- the last milestone of childhood- is in her rearview. I wasn't ready. I still want my gap-toothed running buddy with the smile, the Dr Pepper, and the "let me dwive Daddy". Last night, in her modest but definitely more form fitting than Dad would like dress, it was apparent that particular tom boy is not coming back.
Today- no sleep last night- dozed off around midnight, wide awake at 2 ish... and a bible study to finish for tonight.

Last post by Nelle - Yesterday at 09:23:00 PMAwww.. Roscoe.. such a new part of her journey, as well as for you guys as her parents. Glad she's staying close to home for your sake! lol..
@Home working today on the house. I'm glad my mom is super non-judgmental about housekeeping. LOL. Our house has been a wreck lately. I've been slowly trying to declutter. It's been achingly slow. Hoping we can get it less cluttered feeling before Friday and then we can slowly go through things without feeling like there's a mess all over the place.
I feel like a traitor for not being at work. I don't think I even took all of my vacation days last year. It feels nice being off work during the week though and not being sick. Usually that's the only time I'm home during the week.. if I'm ill. I have access on my phone to my Outlook, so I have been answering a few emails here and there. It's nice sometimes to know what I'm walking back into the next day at work, but sometimes makes me feel guilty for not being there to jump on in and get things done. I've got a backlog of work there just waiting on me to work Saturdays after Memorial Day. It'll feel amazing when both the house AND my work desk are cleaned off, organized and clutter-free! Too much paper on my desk currently. At least it makes me look busy I guess. LOL.
Athena (husband's service dog) is disgusted that she can't be with her dad though. It's supposed to storm sometime today, and I had her Saturday as well as Monday with me at work. She's tired of my face. LOL. She'll be excited tomorrow though when she gets to go with him to St Louis to meet up with some of his online friends. Then Thursday evening, they'll be back in St Louis for the night and flying out Friday morning to Utah! She's going to have an absolute blast once she lands. I'm SUPER nervous about their flight, but I'm SOO glad I don't have to be the one in the situation all anxious and worried the whole time. Hopefully she flies like a champ.
Mom will get here Friday sometime and she won't leave until the Tuesday after Memorial Day. He will be flying back into St Louis that Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, so we will maybe get to have some burgers and hot dogs together. Hopefully my dad enjoys his break from taking care of Mom for a while. She had hand surgery a few weeks ago and has been VERY limited on what she can get done. He's even had to step up and help fix her hair. Glad to see vows in action though these days!

We should learn to treasure
Each day of their lives
They grow up so quickly
Before we realize
Do they have to grow up
Do they have to grow up
Do they have to grow up so soon?

Last post by MsJennJenn - May 13, 2024, 04:26:21 PMMy garden is overjoyed for the rain. The gardener not so much lol.
I need some sunshine. It's been such a rainy season here in W. Falls. But my zucchini, squash, and cucumbers all have flowers!!!!
Hubbs finally made me call doctor on Saturday after coughing all night Friday night.
So she set me up with an antibiotic, cough meds, and two types of nasal sprays. Sigh. I'm finally in a better place today with the coughing thank goodness.

Last post by Nelle - May 10, 2024, 10:58:51 PMMy day off from work is already over. It stops feeling extra nice when everyone else who is at work goes home for the day, haha. It's been semi productive. Hopefully I can continue in my night-owl-era and get more done before bed and hit it back hard again tomorrow. It's going to be NICE to have a decluttered home and have gotten rid of things as well instead of just storing them out of sight. We have a TON to go on that journey still, but at least the house will look nicer for Mom's visit this month! She should be arriving end of next week!
I also managed to get a craft together for sunday school class that isn't super involved and includes ZERO scissors. Even if I'm the only one cutting with them, I'll set them down for a second, turn around, and someone's halfway through a sheet of paper. I'm like "Why are you even using them? You had nothing to cut..?" It's amazing! How you people kept any children alive, blessings to you. I only have them an hour once a week and I'm like WHAT! lol..
We are having BBQ for supper. We had the stuffed salmon from Sams last night. It was DEEElicious as always. We pop it in the air fryer for 20 minutes. I like that texture on salmon better than the baked. My mind already knew the oven-baked salmon was done, but now my mouth and eyes know too. LOL.
I had a doctor's appointment on Tuesday AM with my new doctor since my "old" one left the practice and moved. She had me do lab work, but I haven't heard back yet. I've downloaded my health records twice today hoping they were uploaded but hadn't been reviewed yet. Driving me nuts waiting to see if my sugar level went down or not. I'd like to not just get on medicine if I am making any positive progress on my own with diet (and adding regular exercise now).
