Susan "Suzie" Marie is here!!

Here she is!! The newest member of the tribe!! Susan "Suzie" Marie, born Oct 27th, at 11:47am, and weighing a mere 6lbs7oz! What a tiny little thing she is!! I know technically she weighs more then abag of flour, but she feels like she weighs sooo much less then that. I bawled my eyes out the first time I held her. I cant wait to experience all the firsts with her and watch her grow up.

Still alive....barely...

I know its been a while..but so much has been happening. I went to the Ortho Doc to have my hip checked out.. and all is AOK..except he wants me to lose 100 pounds.. I was like oh yeah I'll have it off tomorrow ..no problem. Then Shannon went into the hospital for about a week or so from a serious UTI/Kidney infection... BUT Little Suzie is AOK. Her C Section is due around Nov 3rd-7Th. So the count down on that begins!!
NOW... I'm out of work for the week because of my back. Doctors orders. I can hardly walk, sit, stand. so sitting here right now hurts a bit. Not as much as it did the other day its getting better. Has some traction done today and that felt good. So I go back again to him tomorrow morning.
Mom will be here in about a week or so and the house looks like crap!! That's another thing I have to get better for. But as long as I have it done in time for Thanksgiving all will be good!! I cant wait for T Day when I get to see everyone! Its been way too long.!!

That's all for now... cant sit much longer!!

doctors

well i made it to yet another Dr appointment... to only find out that I have to go and see and orthopedic Doc for my hip & back now. So on Sept 29th I have an appointment to see and Ortho Doc. My primary Doc said i have "Severe Arthritis" in both my left hip ( the one that hurt 99.9% of the time) and my lower back. That ALSO there is no cartilage left in either places....so now I'm just wondering what's going to happen.... they say life begins at 40??!! I don't think so.... I know MORE Dr appointments begin then... so we'll see what happens in t6he next few weeks. At least I have some pain meds I can take for when my hip/back get too bad for me.

Deposition!!

FINIALLY!!

They set a date for my deposition for my case.... November 13th @ 1:30PM

Its been a long process.. and I knwo its not over yet...its really NOW just the begining..Target is just wasting time and all... I really doubt they will actually bring it inot a court room..but if they do..I'M READY!! I have nothing to hide...I did nothing wrong!!

I'M INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT!!!

family

as the year is winding down and I'm getting older ( UUGGHH ) and the holidays are approaching I keep thinking about my family and the ones that are no longer here. I found this great old picture of my parents as little kids and whenever I see this I have to smile. Just knowing that my parents ( the 2 on the left) knew each other since they were born!! How cool is that!!

getting old sucks!!

Boy who knew getting old sucked this bad!! I hate having a bad back...for some strange reason it bothers me more in the month of August then any other time of year. I remember last year August was the last time I was at my Chiropractor for adjustments. I wish he was still around, he moved his practice to North Carolina...PHOOEY DR. DAVE... I haven't found another one...I guess because I haven't needed one... but I think its something more then my back that bothers me. I think its my hip...my left hip.. everything happens on my left side... wonder if that means something **perplexed**

OH WELL.... thank heavens for muscle relaxers, heating pads & ice! Now only if I could bend down in the mornings to put my socks & shoes on I would be OK. but I guess that's why I have Ramon to wake up in the mornings to do that ** grinning** Guess I need to make an appointment with my DR to have them check out my hip issues...
OK going to rest some more...

family

Was searching through abunch of old pictures and found this one.. I remember when it was taken.. it was Thanksgiving 2002, Mina was only 6 months old...her frist Thanksgiving...now shes 6 YEARS old!! Boy time flies when you're having fun!! I'm hoping that I'll have her here again this Thanksgiving with everyone else..it'll be great to have the family together again.
