Say a Prayer For My Mom!!


Say a prayer for my mom as she is getting a "port" put in Thursday and she is suppose to start Chemo June 7th. We found out almost 2 weeks ago that she has Pancreaus cancer that spread to her liver. She was in ICU for 8 days and now is in IMU which is a step down unit from ICU. She is going to need a lot of prayers to get through everything. She is a amazing mom and we all love her.

BeWare!!!

Most of you have read the scare-mail about the person whose kidneys were stolen while he was passed out. Well, read on. While the kidney story was an urban legend, this one is not. It's happening every day...........
My thighs were stolen from me during the night a few years ago. It was just that quick. I went to sleep in my body and woke up with someone else's thighs. The new ones had the texture of cooked oatmeal. Who would have done such a cruel thing to legs that had been mine for years?Whose thighs were these and what happened to mine? I spent the entire summer looking for my thighs.Finally, hurt and angry, I resigned myself to living out my life in jeans and Sheer Energy pantyhose.
Then, just when my guard was down, the thieves struck again.My butt was next. I knew it was the same gang, because they took pains to match my new rear end to the thighs they stuck me with earlier. I couldn't believe that my new butt was attached at least three inches lower than my original. Now, my rear complemented my legs, lump for lump. Frantic, I prayed that long skirts would stay in fashion.
It was two years ago when I realized my arms had been switched. One morning I was fixing my hair and I watched horrified but fascinated as the flesh of my upper arms swung to and fro with the motion of the hairbrush.
This was really getting scary. My body was being replaced one section at a time. How clever and fiendish.Age? Age had nothing to do with it. Age is supposed to creep up, unnoticed, something like maturity. NO, I was being attacked repeatedly and without warning. In despair, I gave up my T-shirts.
What could they do to me next? My poor neck suddenly disappeared faster than theThanksgiving turkey it now resembled.
That's why I decided to tell my story. I can't take on the medical profession by myself. Women of the world wake up and smell the coffee. That really isn't plastic that those surgeons are using. You KNOW where they are getting those replacement parts, don't you? The next time you suspect someone has had a face "lifted", look again. Was it lifted from you?This is not a hoax. This is happening to women in every town every night.
WARN YOUR FRIENDS!
P.S. I must say that last year I thought someone had stolen my breasts. I was lying in bed and they were gone! As I jumped out of bed, I was relieved to see that they had just been hiding in my armpits as I slept.Now I keep them hidden in my waistband

Happy Mother's Day

Today was my 13th Mothers Day and I can still remember my first. We lived in Phoenix and we had only had Nicholas for a few months and went to the zoo and all the moms got a carnation;-) It will go down as one of my most favorite days EVER as all I wanted was to me a mom. Now 13 years later I have 2 GREAT boys and we had another wonderful day.
This weekend was the Donner Early Bird meet so we (me and Nicholas) got up EARLY and went to the pool. (Hank and Ty showed up a little after 8). Nicholas did get the high point trophy for his age group, 13/14 year old. It was chilly this morning and the kids were freezing but we still had a lot of fun. Then we went to Greenwood to our FAVORITE chinese restrauant for lunch and then to the mall. Nicholas made out there as he need shirts for the summer so we went to Hollister and $135 later we left. What did I get from the mall........a $12 pair of Khaki short and some plug in refills from Bath and Body Works.
It was a VERY nice day and the kids and Hank got me a outside clock, a new mailbox and a GC for a pedicure. Any guess on what I am doing this week?

My Bird







A Bird (I think it is a Dove as I am NOT a Bird person) built a nest in the hanging basket on my front porch...How did I figure this out..I went to water the plant and the bird flew out and almost hit me in the head and I about *rapped!!! Here is my plant, the bird peeking out of my plant and the nest after the bird decided she did not want her picture taken again and flew at my head again.

Happy Birthday Kaitlin, Sandy and Dad


April and May is a busy Birthday months for us. My neice Kaitlin turned 15, my sister Sandy turned 50 and this week my Dad turned 85. Last Sunday they came down for the day and we had the nicest time. The weather was perfect and we swam (OK, me and my sister floated) and grilled out. A perfect day for 3 Birthdays;-)
