Hi gang! The US has a holiday today. I am so glad to be able to sleep in! I think my hand problem may be the way I am sitting when using the computer. Will have to watch it and see.
Been watching the hurricane on TV. So scary and yet so fascinating. Dont think we have any of our group there, do we? I looked on past posts and coudnt see anyone from the gulf coast, but I might have missed someone.
Hope all is well for everyone out there today

Oh! Gee whiz! Did I really write Sept 5? Maybe I should go to the Dr before my scheduled Appt. Maybe I should write these posts without the delete button so you could see what is going on. Oh well, guess I will just go on. Have fun.

Happy Labor Day! Hope everyone is having fun today and not just sitting around like me.
I'm still struggling with body pain after moving furniture around on Saturday. My little girl and youngest son are full of trouble today. At the moment, Katie is finally taking a nap and Andrew is crying up a storm in his room. I sent him in there to clean it up since my parents are coming tonight and it looks like Gustov came through it. My older boys come back this evening so I'm looking forward to that. School starts tomorrow for them.
Oh boy, Andrew is throwing things in his room - gotta go!

Wow I was busy reading everyone has beenso busy. Today is the first of sept my oldest daughters birthday. My second daughter came down with her baby so have been busy with them this weekend. My older son came got my little ones took to the park bike riding I am very fortunate to have the older kids they are very good to younger ones. My husband is very helpful. But it took us awhile to get past my illness his mom had Md was in a wheeel chair til she died he has always said he would never be married to someone in a wheel chair you can imagine our discussions on this. I am a very stubburn indapendant person. But there is a possability of being in a wheel chair he now says he does not care he just wants me here beside him. I too have been feeling very down about what I cant do latly but I am finding myself letting go and notbeing so angry at myself. And letting others helpout more too. Good day everyone talk with you all tomarrow. Jamie
