Common Ground Coffee House #108

Ok, I am up. Not real happy about it but, I am up. Where is the grumpy face when you need him?

My kitty MiMi had to go to the vet yesterday. She ended up going in to be cut open from one end to the other. The vet had to remove 5 inches of her intestins (sp?). She is on an iv for fluids and meds. *I just got off the phone with the vet's office, MiMi is doing well. She had gone potty ok, the lady said she doesn't look like she feels great but, she is doing well. LOL...I wouldn't be feeling well if someone had cut me open from under my chin to my bottom either!!!!!!

I have Amie doing laundry, kid labor is great isn't it? When I wake up a bit I will be going to the church. Jeremy said I am to have the day to myself, no kids going with me! Cindi tell Jenna I'm sorry that Amie will not be there, daddy's orders ;o)

I'm going to get my day started, I think....
Tanya

 

Sue you are turning into a real "Toolbelt Diva!" Good thing the kids took your ladder away from you, or who knows what you'd do.

Please be Careful!! I have it on good authority that 60-something IFBs tend to break and bruise easily. Not to mention "hitting the wrong nail" on a frequent basis. It could be a good witness though. What does a IFB say when they "hit the wrong nail?" Answer: OUCH!!!!!

Let me guess, you're going to surprise Pastor Bob by getting most of it done. YOU GO GIRL!!!

 

Okay now! I'm not going to cook if I have to clean up and turn off the lights too.

The food's gone so I know folks have been and the only one with an excuse is Sue. She's been working hard today. She better not have worked too hard today. How's it coming Sue?

I've been sewing all day and now I'm tired and headed to bed. This kitchen had better be clean when I get here in the morning.............

 

Hey now, Sue wasn't supposed to clean up. I've a good mind to cook just enough to give her a good hearty breakfast and let the rest of you eat cold cereal out of syrofoam bowls!

Then again, if I'm going to have to cook............

Sausage and bisquits, gravy and hashbrowns are ready for everyone to serve themselves. If you look in the back you'll find some fried apple pies under a cloth.

That should serve to give Sue a good start this morning. Oh and there is a bottle of Advil on top of the fridge, it'll help with the soreness.

Ya'll better pick up after yourselves today and get Rob to cook lunch. I've got to take Chris all the way to B'ham to the doc. While you are eating and cleaning, pray that this doc will have some ideas on how to get Chris better.

Gotta go find Jenna some sinus meds. I hate allergy season!

 

So the kitchen is clean, ready for cooking. Ladies, can I have scrambled eggs with sausages, biscuits and hash-brown? And please make that coffee decaf with just a touch of Sweet & Low and plenty of fat-free milk. Thank you so much! :applause: :type:

 

Here you go Barnabas:



Just make sure you stick your dishes into the dishwasher!

 

Good Morning Everybody,

It is 56 and foggy here this morning, headed for a high of 64.

I had to take my Mother-in-Law to the hospital for a back X-Ray this morning. She had a 12-hour fast for the X-Ray so when she got done she was starved. I took her to Denny's for breakfast. No, Nobody heard the trumpet of God, and the world didn't end just because I went to Denny's. I do feel like the V8 commercial on TV though....Wow!!, I cudda had a MK! (breakfast-that is.)

All kidding aside, I really hope the GI doc can help Chris, and that you have a safe, and peaceful drive to Birmingham.

I will bring in lunch, but it won't be as good as MK's breakfast. I'm just warning you in advance. I brought in Sweet Island Ribs, Banana-Pepper Slaw, Lemon-Herb Grilled Potato Slices, Ranch-Style Beans, and Lime Icebox Pie Cake for dessert. I also brought in paper plates to eat on. When you get done...just put them in the fireplace, I'll "do the dishes" later.

Glad to hear the "Toolbox Diva" that we know as Sue got her work done yesterday without any mishaps. Don't ever tell a Woman she can't do something...or at least have the courtesy to step back when you say it.

Not much going on here today.

 

thank you Cindi for cooking...the pic of the eggs was not called for! The thought of food is ok, the smell of food & the sight of food is more than I can take this am.

My mother, who doesn't like kids & doesn't offer to help often, has said the older 4 can spend the night with her tonight. Todd (3) & Kacy (2) have to go to the doctor in the am...then I have to go to my doctor (b/p related..not ob) right after....while this "help" sounds wonderful....do I take the chance that Anna (5) may leak our "news" to my parents??? Will the benifit out weight the risk????

My parents are more pleased by "things" not "people". We didn't tell them we were expecting Kacy until 3 weeks before she was born. That was a great pregnancy. This time I don't think I will get by with putting it off that long as my mother doesn't have anything to distract her.....hummmmm.......

Well, I am off to start my day...have a good one!
Tanya

 

Rob, you are hereby re-elevated to head cook. If you should choose not to accept this assignment, the Coffee House crowd may well starve for the next couple of days.

The stomach doc said Chris had to have an Uppper ....scope. I can't remember the exact name, but it means they are going to have to take a look at his upper digestive track (esphogus, stomach and the beginning of the small intestine, especially the valve between the last two). We have to be at Children's at 7 Friday morning. Somehow I failed to communicate the at least hour and a quarter drive we have to make to get there. We'll have to get up by 4:30! Oh well, if we get some answers it will be worth it.

My inlaws have my daughters and they are not here! I'm supposed to be at choir practice in 30 minutes.......

 

I hereby accept the re-appointment as the co-cook of the CGCH, On One Condition: that MK is also a co-cook.


Chris is probably scheduled for an "upper GI." I would have box lunches made for you two, but I know he can't have anything before the exam, and MK will no doubt not be able to swallow anything until Chris' test is finished. You are both in my prayers for travelling mercies, and for a quick and definitive answer to Chris' digestive problems. Hopefully this test will show the docs what they need to know to help Chris.


Talk about being "under the gun." It's not easy to follow MK as a cook. If you don't believe me just look at her meals for the last two days. SHEEESH!!


All kidding aside: Please know that I can be serious, and I am now. Cindi, you and Chris are both being held up in prayer. I don't joke about important things, and nothing is more important than the health of you and your family. raying: raying:

 

Hey all,
Looks like I am the last one here tonight. It's a good thing that ya'll cleaned up after yourselves. I am in too much pain to clean! Cindi: You and Chris are in my prayers. I am kind of bummed out-I missed Rob's good lunch! I had better go the pain meds are kicking in so I hopefully can get some sleep.
:godisgood:

 

It must finally be Autumn....my throat is made up of razor blades and my tongue had glass specks in it......in short a hi from a miserable confrere who is not working tonight............:tonofbricks:

 

Good Morning Everybody,


It is 45 and sunny, headed for a high of 67.


Praying that MK and Chris made it to the doctor, and that relief is on the way so Chris can get off Cindi's mind, and back on her nerves.


I brought in Sausage Scramble, Oven Breakfast Hash, and Filled Apple Breakfast Cake. Coffee, Tea, and Smoothies are ready for all. Enjoy.

Hope the Effexor helps Sue. It is easier to light a candle than it is to sit and curse the darkness. This is my therapist's favorite saying...and it's true.


Have to go grocery shopping today. Always a thrill, of course some people say that about being hit by a truck is a thrill too.

 

Sue, you're working way too hard! Then again, imagine the rewards when the job is done!

Cindi, praying for you and Chris today. Is Chris scheduled for an endoscope?

Rob, thanks so much for breakfast! How is Brenda feeling these days?

Briony, I hope you feel better soon!

islandgirl, I hope your pain is better today than yesterday.

Tanya, are you feeling okay? Are you having much morning sickness?

Barnabas, Jim, Gayla, Helen, followinghim ... how goes things in your neck of the woods?

- Pam

 

Yes, the procedure is call and EGD and is scheduled for tomorrow.

Today I have to go keep the shop for my friend while she carries elderly members of her family to the doc.

Thank you all for your continued prayers. We are going to need them.

A bit of good news is that Chris felt like going to school today! Yay!

 

:laugh: How I know OK isn't really in the South! None of us carry our family members anywhere!
