Common Ground Coffee House #113

Good Morning and thanks to all who've made entries in our caring bridge guestbook, they were and still are a great encouragement to Gayla. She is doing well this day, things appear to be under control. Which I'm very glad for, I'm hoping for an uneventful birthday for her today...In the meantime I'll be jumping another job hurdle which should result in me starting work next week PTL!!:thumbs:

Good afternoon all,
I am just popping in for a minute. I need a pepsi! I brought some cookies and some fresh fruit in to snack on. M&M's unfortunately aren't allowed on my diet. I am trying to be a good girl and watch my cholesterol-no I didn't eat any of those cookies. I need to go check on laundry-I am trying to avoid Wal-Mart since it's tax free weekend and school starts soon I know it is a mad house plus it is way to hot at a lovely 100 degrees.
Y'all have a blessed weekend.
:godisgood:

 

Thanks for the breakfast Sue!

so far i have washed 3 loads of laundry, put cinnamon bread on for the kids, ran the vac in the living room and gave Leah a bottle. kara has unloaded the dishwasher...now i need to reload it.

at some point i will end up at cindi's house so we can work on the cheer leading outfits. i am so ready for them to be done. i'm not so much ready for the work to be done as i am for the money they will bring.:thumbs:

ugh...speaking of money...my hubby just called and said he was handed a lay off slip. wonderful :BangHead: looks like the cheer leading money will be more needed than i thought.

 

Good Monday Morning Everyone!

I started the day off by waking my kids up at 7! Even though they don't think so, it's all for their own good. School starts in just one week! If they don't start getting up now, they'll be sad children come the end of next week. School here starts on a Monday with full days all week.

Funny isn't it, Tanya, how we never get to use our "extra" money for ourselves??? Mine's been spoken for since the beginning!

I have a driver and its wonderful!!! It's great to send Cass on all those little errands I have to run.

Time to sew!

 

Good Afternon Everybody,

Cuz y'all gotta move back nawth. Our schools start the day after Labor Day [by stste law.]

Sue my MIL has MD and yes it has decreased her vision some, but her daily activities haven't changed much. I can't remember which type she has the "wet" or the "dry" but it's the less dmaaging of the two types.

What is this "extra money" that people are talking about? They say money talks...it sure does, mine says goodbye.

Gotta run, I'm making Seared Pork Roast with Currant Cherry Salsa, No-Bake Coconut Cream Pie, and Peppermint Ice Cream Pie for the potluck before Bible Study tonight.

 

Cuz, Tanya talked me into helping make 30 cheerleading outfits! Since we're being paid, we ain't to bad off, but instead of us getting to use it for things we need/want (mostly want ) it is getting sucked out of our wallets for household needs almost before we can get paid!

Ain't no such thing as "extra" money!

 

Sure there's extra money! It goes to pay those little luxuries like electric and stuff, does it not?!

The last few days have been a little wild! I have NOT been feeling good, but had a lot to do. So much that I turned down the chance to work at a newspaper place, but a bit part of that was that I'd have to move to another town, and I don't even have a place where I am now, so I wasn't seeing that as a possibility. If *could* stay here and do it, but an hour drive there and an hour back with these gas prices and the amount of time I'd have to take off for doctor stuff...just wouldn't be right to take it.

So I'm relieved to have made the decision, but also kinda pukey and upset, because I wanted to do it. REALLY wanted it. Oh well. If God wanted it for me, it would have happened, right? But why does he want me in a worse position? Or would that end up being worse? :tonofbricks:

Ok, now I'm getting too deep for the coffee house. LOL I just ate two cookies and I'm not used to that much sugar at once anymore, it's gotten me in a flurry of emotion!

Good cookies though...the break and bake kind. BTW, they really mean it when they say not to put them in the microwave. They catch on fire. They can also get an avalanche looking thing with a bit of smoke coming out, which when you poke with a fork, explodes and a lot more smoke comes out. (found that out when I thought I'd try it again and just try putting it in for less time) It's kinda fun, although I can definitely see where it could maim you for life if you weren't careful. But now it's a challenge. I'm figuring out different ways to make it work, including using a few seconds, turning it, a few more seconds, making tiny cookies out of one block of it, etc..

But don't try it. LOL If you do, I had NOTHING to do with your decision and warned you!

 

Hey Geener, and everyone else!!
Been busy myself..took Agee to have a colonoscopy this morning...all clear. I'm glad she's ok but sometimes I feel like we're wasting our time on doctors...with all her problems they just never find anything, cept when they talked about the lupus...but all the problems that can be related to that she's had for years.
Was trying a new business venture online which seems to have turned out to be a scam...least I didn't lost a lot of money like some did. I know everything might get cleared up...but I doubt it with all the actions being taken by the Attorney Gen., & other Fed. law enforcement agencies.
leavin out next Tues to go to New York to work a few days...BH has gotten used to me being back home & now I have to go again.
Well you all have a Blessed Evening!

 

I was thinking about Agee today as I drove home! Well, actually drove around. I was lost and looking for hints that I was going the right way. I saw a sign that said "Agee Rd." and figured that was my hint that I was ok and to keep going. LOL (yes, I think God talks to me about little things like that sometimes, call it crazy, but I found my way home)

I get my own colonoscopy in a few more days. How did she do with it afterwards? They say not to drive after, but I figure if I wait a while, hang around the hospital, take a nap for a while, I should be ok to drive after about four hours. Do you think she was back to normal within that time?

 

GOOD MORNING !!!​

​

After a long vacation from the computer, I can say excitingly... "Good Southern Morn'!" How are y'all doin'? The gentle rain is coating the dry countrylands 'round here which is welcomed wholeheartedly this morning! Much cooler weather is expected today and tonight. I read this morning we'll dip into the low 60s tonight. Praise the Lord!​

I made a full pot of da bayou blend fresh-up this morning... so get you a cup full before it is all gone. Enjoy this Friday and live it like it is your last. See ya here (.), there --->, or in the air ~! ​

 

Morning all,
Not much happening here-work is well a mess- they are waxing the offices and one of the classrooms today. The other classroom is waiting for now and oh yeah, just when I get my classroom back up and running for four count them four kids. I find out my new carpet is coming Thursday! Wouldn't you know it-I take off one day and we are tearing my room up! I just got it fixed!:tonofbricks:
Oh well, life does go on- sorry to be griping. Please keep me in your prayers. There are a lot of changes taking place and a lot of stress on me. I brought donuts and fruit. I am grabbing some juice and gonna run. The people across the street are having a yard sale and selling a bed I am in love with. I can justify buying it because it is a king and all I have now is a twin. I am watching to make sure it stays for awhile while I make up my mind.
Y'all have a blessed day!
