Hi Ladies! Sorry its been a bit! Between work(Lenten season and I work for 2 churches) my son and his driving practice(got his license!) And....I have not been able to sign in on here! Don't know what had been wrong! It wouldn't accept my password. Now today it did!
Update on my girl. She is still sick but maybe on the mend. They have done some biopsies and may now have an idea how to treat her! Right now with medication and still waiting for some more tests to be done. A couple of possibilities but all treatable and not serious! Praise God! No cancer! She hadn't told me that they were looking at that possibility. That I found out when the nurse called after a procedure and told me "no stomach cancer!" Maybe its good I didn't know!!
Now on to all of you! Wow! Lots of good stuff and happy homecomings! So happy for all of you! Enjoy!
Blondie...take care of yourself!
To all of the new moms-welcome!! As you can tell I don't post often(unfortunately) but I do read posts daily! These women are awesome!
Now that N4M's is letting me sign in again....well maybe I will be able to chat more often!
I do think of you all so often. I pray for concerns, do happy dances and cry for the good and bad right along with you!

Blondie,
Hope you can find some relief soon! ((HUGS))
Catsmom,
Bet you never thought you'd be happy to go back to your current job LOL I have no doubt you will be getting the manager job!! Just need this weekend to "fly" by and get to the airport on Monday!! Sorry Crystal won't be manning the rails after all or that you will miss her swearing in, such is the Navy when you think you have it figured out...well... LOL But the ultimate prize that HUG!!! If you can share the video we would love to see it!! Not much longer.... YAY!!!
Spyder,
How exciting another weekend with our girl!!! Give her a big HUG for us and have a fantastic time....like I even need to say that LOL

Good morning everyone, FRIDAY! YAY! Back to my school, but most important, leave on Monday! One week and I will be hugging my girl! SOOOOOO EXCITED! She is dissapointed, she will not be manning the rails, the day they are practicing, she is being sworn in for her reenlistment...so she can't make the practice, which means she won't man the rails, they decided to do her reenlistment on the ship, so I won't get to see it, but I will be hugging my girl! So all is good. Se said she is going to have someone video it, so I can see it.
Blondie, hope you are feeling better, praying for all, it is so hard to watch the ones you love suffer through a long illness. Lost my Brother to cancer, and my dad 2 months and 3 days after my dad to congestive heart failure. Sending you hugs.
Anna, that work inviroment wears me out! But I will get through it, and I better get the manager job after this! LOL
Have a good day everyone! :-)

Catsmom,
Wow that would be such a difficult working environment to be in. Don't let them dent that smile on your face. Hope today goes quickly and smoothly for you, then you can get back to your own peeps!!!
Good Morning Jean!!! and everyone else!!!
I'm glad the guy in the picture is getting a good hug!! Don't think I would be in his shoes!!!!
Blondie,
One step at a time. Worrying won't get anything accomplished and getting a good rest makes things easier for sure!! Maybe look into hiring a local teenager to mow the lawn. They always love having money in their pockets!!! Are some of your kids nearby or do they all live far from you?? Maybe invite them over for dinner and then give them a room to help you clean it up in preparation for guests!!!!!!
