Hi Honey.... I'm happy that your mom is doing a little better...hug How's your day so far?
Thanks, sweetie. Hug2 It's a relief that she's home and the appointment for the heart specialist is set. Her regular doctor is out today so she will go tomorrow for PCP follow-up.

I'm okay so far this morning. I need to rush off to work though. I have got to get more consistant and probably earlier on my arrival times if I get this new position. The interview for it is next Tuesday afternoon.

I'll be back on later for some chat. wave

I scored a slick deal at Kroger on my way into work. I stopped and grabbed a lite yougart (80 vs 170-190 calories) and at the register were catalina coupons left by the prior customer. I won't use most of them, but there was one there for a free Dunkin Hines cake mix. woot

I walked into my local gas station/convenience store before that and the clerk handed me a bag of 18 PepsiStuff caps and one mcr cap. woot Sweet! Cool

Mom's hanging in there. She calls Grandpa everyday to see how Grammy is. She can't talk on the phone and I don't think he wants us to come down to Ottumwa , everyone would be crying and probably make her feel worse, so we are kinda waiting for the dreaded phone call..
Dad is Dad LMAO I can hardly get him to come out of his room, He says about 20 times a day " I'm not going to make it " He's been this way since I've been here, 2 yrs now. I did get him outside yesterday as I mowed the lawn and played my" stupid act " It's the only way I can get him out of bed. But it works , so I will continue to play stupid nod

I bet your mom is glad to be home, It's hard to get sleep when they come in the room every 2 hrs for blood and vitals.
I can't wait to hear what you have planned for your Dad, I bet he enjoys it whatever you do.

Well, I don't think others would find it very exciting. He likes to go metal detecting, but Mom seldom takes him and since he's legally blind he can't take himself except for the occasional walk over a few blocks to a local park that he's been over and over and over. He wanted my Mom to take him to a state park about an hour away and she could go into town for a few hours and shop the quaint shops there. She's afraid she wouldn't find her way into town and back; even though it's down the street where she drops him off until the street ends and then make a right had turn on the main street of the town. So - I thought maybe I'd take him there, take her to town, and then go back to town after picking him up for a dinner at one of the restaurants in town. He's a basic meat and potato kind of guy and fancy places sometimes don't have dishes that he cares for. It doesn't need to be too special for Dad to enjoy it. Due to his eye-sight there is limited things to get him, and at least this is something he wants to do that Mom usually wont take the time out to accomodate him.

Good morning/afternoon everyone!!! Smilie

Pray All around!!

Job search seems to be at a stand still for the moment, but I did get a call from the same place that said to be expecting a call from their hiring manager soon. Hopefully, this means that Im getting the job and not another phone call to wait for laugh out loud Whee

Hello everyone! Grouphug

Sorry I just get to come by and skim the messages but do want you all to know your all thought about often & held in my Pray as always!!

Mr. Blynk is fine and returned back to work Monday. Baby girl on the other hand hasn't been doing so well, her little tummy is still giving her problems and now we think it may be a milk & soy allergy along with not digesting her food well. So she has been on 3 different formulas, can't tolerate mom's milk either ...and now we are getting ready to start another one that is for extreme cases, and I really hope this one helps her become a happy little baby girl. It's been so hard on me because I feel so helpless when I can't console her and she's crying in pain. If you could please keep her in your thoughts as well I'd appreciate it so very much!! Thank you! Grouphug

Wishing you all a wonderful week, its been rainy & chilly here I am so ready for the sun to come back out and dry things up. Have a good day everyone!

Good luck and best wishes to baby blynk. I had milk allergies when I was young and grew out of them. Hopefully that at most what this will be. Pray

wave Hey peeps! I'm tired today. Wife woke up last night and had to sit in chair b/c lower pains were hurting. Even though they were consistent at about 5~10 mins, we didn't go to Dr. I said go to bed and we'll see in the morning. Heh, I was tired then too.

So, she is ready to pop any day now. Her due date isn't until the 25th but since this is our 4th, it will probably slip out without anyone noticing. laugh out loud

Sorry I haven't been around much. I've gotten caught up in a few slick deals and other forums. I'll come back home soon enough.

Hope all is well. We were lucky in that all 3 of our kids don't have any allergies... yet.

OMG, am I ready?!? I think I'm more excited about Mt Dew than the baby! EEK! EEK! EEK! Yeah, that's right. I said that. Wife knows it is true too! Smilie

Well, it is 10:00pm and still no baby. Maybe tomorrow. I told my wife not to have it on the weekend b/c then I'll just have to go back to work on Monday. Heh. Tomorrow night is my daughter's Kindergarten graduation so that's not a good night. Neither is Friday night with my oldest son's awards night. Saturday is soccer games so we'll be too tired from all that. I think baby can come out on Sunday.
