Good morning all, I'm just trying to catch up with all that's going on...

BessieBoo, have you heard from your daughter as to what the game plan is on her recovery. I initially thought the same thing as the others...why not hold her and drop her in the next class until I read your other post :-( hoping for a speedy recovery and no surgery needed!!

Jappyj, Wow! you have gotten alot accomplished...sounds like plans for PIR are coming along nicely whoo hoo not much longer now!!!

Jean, good grief I can't believe they didn't have someone with Christina! I must admit that does sound like her jumping in to save him at almost 9 months preggo LOL have to wonder what he thought after she saved him :-)  wonder if she will make it to that doctors appt LOL continued prayers for her and the baby!  Also, fantastic that you are loving your new job!

Anna, thinking about you and your packing! We should have all met at your place and had a packing party...can't guarantee how much of your stuff would have made it intact, but we sure would have had fun LOL

Blondie, so glad you had a great vacation...some much deserved down time---I know that the view had to be amazing!!

Catsmom, So happy for Crystal...well you know how I feel about that girl---she earned that promotion glad they recognized that and she had a command that had her back! Very happy that the paperwork has finally been turned in and hopefully filed!! Looks like you had a great time at the exhibit...hoping Bruce is doing well

I only have a few more days here in GA with my Rachael...sigh...we've been having such a wonderful time going to be hard to leave...spend last Sat in and around Savannah...beautiful! Very hot though...I had sweat dripping from places I didn't even know you could sweat from! And that's saying something as I'm use to the humidity from living in AR LOL oh well still had a great time and load of memories made :-)

Have a great Wednesday!

Good Morning to Everyone.

One more very busy day at work. I have been starting work at 6:30 everyday to make up for missing work part of today for my 3rd sons graduation. He has been in a program that takes a year to finish. The first 6 months is classroom and the last 6 months is internship. I am so proud of him. but it does cause a long day for me in order to see him graduate. It is well worth it though. No news with Christina. Still having the weird contractions.They are at 10 minutes a part and sitting there. She has a doctors appointment on Friday. Everyone have a fanatic Wednesday.

Good Morning to Everyone.

No, Still having weird contractions that are not getting bad and not get anything done. She says they only happen when she is stressed mostly. She spent yesterday in bed in front of an air conditioner to stay cool. 

Comment by Jappj on July 29, 2014 at 7:13am

Good morning everyone have a happy Tuesday!!!!

Comment by Catsmom on July 28, 2014 at 12:47pm
Jean, wow awesome she saved someone, but you are right someone else should have done it. Happy it didn't hurt Christina or the baby! Praying she has a short labor and that it is soon. Just want a healthy baby and momma! Still am amazed that she was the one that had to go into the water for the rescue...

jappy, Wow you go girl! Awesome getting so much done!

Anna, wish I was close I would help you! Seems we all second guess ourselves on new adventures! Hang in there! Praying things go smoothly, and you get finished soon. ((((((HUGS ))))

Hope everyone had a good weekend, we went to the Pompeii exhibit yesterday. It is amazing how well things were preserved under all that ash.
Talked to Crystal yesterday, she sounded happy. Spent the weekend with some co-workers. Happy she is not sitting at home being depressed. Hoping the divorce goes quick, so she can move on with her life.

Good Morning to Everyone.

Christina's last day at work was a very busy one. She had to rescue a boater in the water. Which meant she had to go in after him in to the water. She said it was only waist deep water though. He had hurt his rib when his boat tipped over. He was ok. So was she. But man they should of had someone else do it. She came home after work and was having tiny contractions all night. So far nothing has taken place to sent her to the hospital yet. So the baby could be coming or it could not be. Time will tell. She could like her mom who was in labor for days before the big event. God I hope not.
