splash,

Welcome!!  glad you stopped in!!  I know you must be getting nervous, that day will be here before you know it and you'll wonder how did all that time fly by??  Then when she is gone time will seem to crawl by until you get to see her again!!!!  We Know!!!  Makes no sense!!!  But let us know if you have any questions or concerns and we can help you out with them!!!

Jean,

Everyone's weather seems to be so screwed up lately!!  Dry has to feel very strange for you in the Pacific NW!!!  Yeah, I had thyroid problems when I was in my 20's and so did my sister.  I had a pretty strong feeling my daughter's would have problems too and sure enough it hit Jenn all of a sudden this month!!!!  Talk about sucky timing!!!  Catherine is getting herself tested but so far she is not showing any symptoms.  At least Jennifer caught her's early and I know it's 100% treatable, they just have to get her in and get her treated!!!

And yes Catsmom,  she will be ready to kick some a$$ then when she gets back!!!!  I'm glad things are being addressed there at work for you.  Good for the new lady in backing you up!!!  Gosh, there may be hope????

spyder,

Sorry your daughter's visit is ending.  November isn't far away!!!  When do you start the next countdown????

Ampingitup,

Have you heard from your girl lately??  How is she doing??

My daughter leaves for boot camp Oct 6th. I am getting really nervous.

Comment by Oneofalot on September 17, 2014 at 8:27am

Good Morning to Everyone.

We finally got some rain. It isn't here to stay though. Which is very strange for us. Our fall is usually very wet so is our winter, spring and part of summer.LOL. 

Catsmom, I see that the low that is bring us rain is dipping down to San Francisco. Maybe it will go a little bit more South and cool you guys off. 

Anna, Hope Jenn gets some rest. I have had thyroid problems and they are not nice. When mine where in full swing I was on 28 different kinds of meds to help make it work right. 

Blondie, sorry work is even harder now with your help. I wish I could of come over there and taken the job. Then you wouldn't of had to deal with a twit. LOL.

Comment by Catsmom on September 16, 2014 at 7:24pm
Anna, I hope Jenn gets some rest and pampering while she is here in Calif. She deserves it, and hope it will help her go back and kick some a..
Comment by Catsmom on September 16, 2014 at 7:22pm
Blondie, sorry things are not good at work. Hope they fix your computer soon! I had it out with the girls at work, one had the nerve to ask me to define my job...that set me off. I am the assistant manager, she works 3.7 and I have to define my job to her...HELL NO! So told them all what I thought and how things work around there. And shocker, the new boss backed me up! Wow. So after that they were better and said ok....LOL I really don't like going off on people, but it was a long time coming, and enough is enough!
Love the picture!

Anna, not sure if San Diego is going to get any rain from this hurricane off Baja. We are now under sever storm warnings, can hear some thunder, but no rain so far. Very hot and getting humid..and our air went out, can't be fixed till tomorrow. So melting at work and home..LOL Tey are saying Phoenix is going to get flooding rain for it. Hope it doesn't affected you spyder.

Spyder, enjoy your last day with your girl. We never want to let them go. And Nov. is not that far off. Give her a hug from me too.
Comment by spyder013 on September 16, 2014 at 3:52pm
Yes,today it's her last full day here. She leaves tomorrow afternoon. We have done allot and sweet allot of family. Today is her sisters bday so we are out shopping, pedicures, etc. Will get to see her again end of November;)
Comment by Anna on September 16, 2014 at 2:25pm

Thank you for all the kind words and prayers.  For now, she is planning a trip to San Diego for her and David's Marriage Encounter retreat (a requirement for Catholic marriages).  They also have some appointments for wedding vendors.  After she gets back everyone's main focus will be getting this thyroid issue taken care of.  She needs a little vacation and some pampering from David!!!!

Catsmom,

Is this tropical storm going to give any rain to San Diego??

Spyder,

Are you still spending time with your daughter?  I know you had just over a week but I forgot when it started!!!!!!  :)

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!!!!!

Great pics Blondie! Keep on smiling catsmom~really piss them off
Comment by Catsmom on September 16, 2014 at 8:45am
Anna, wow, poor Jenn. Praying she is feeling better, and has no more issues with her heart! (((Hugs)))) to all of you. Why they put so much pressure on them is crazy! Hope Allen finds a copy of the video, how sad to have it distroyed.

Jean Good you get to babysit this weekend. So hard to be without your dog. ((((Hugs)))) to all of you.

spyder, hope you don't get any of the flooding they say is going to be your way. Stay safe.

The drama continues at work.. The boss is settling in, and starting to do what she is supposed to..YEA! We have a couple of 3.7 s that have decided they are going to decide who does what and they think they are boss. They had a big fit yesterday when it didn't go their way...geesh! now they think I should do their job too...NOT happening! LOL oh well I go in do my job and go home. And smile the whole time. What else can I do right. So flipping hot too. 102 in the shade yesterday, and when you go outside to take a brake, and it feels cooler than your work area. Not fun.

Ok enough complaining from me. Have a good day everyone. Maybe I will sweat some go this excess weight off this week..LOL

Good Morning to Everyone.

Glad you got back safe Anna. Sorry to hear about all the problems for your daughter. Hopefully she'll get her wings really soon. 

Catsmom, hopefully the weather change soon. We are getting cooler weather for the rest of the week then the weekend warms back up to the mid 80's. So hopefully it will cool down for a few days for ya. On the news it looked like the low was way down into CA.
