Great news Lynn. Glad you have a diagnosis that doesn't require surgery.
Cherly, hope the return to school days brings peace and tranquility to your house. The kids will be so filled with activities and news from school they should be to tired to pick on one another. Some parents are more bothered by children's bickering than others. It drove me crazy so I made it unpleasant for them if they did it in front of me. Now that they are grown and good friends, I'm glad I persisted.

I am home!! My appendix was perfect, and I do have a few kidney stones but nothing to worry about. My problem is an enlarged colon. He said that happens sometimes from it overworking. I am on antibiots and a bland diet for the weekend, then I should be fine.

There is a great massage therapy school in Mesa, AZ. She will be staying my parents or his parents while she is attending there. If she goes full time it will be 7-7 for 8 months and part time is 10-7 for 13 months. She is hoping for the full time since there is only 3 hours different. Since she already turned down a full scholarship for Le Cordon Blue cooking school because of her ginger allergy.

I went to the doctor yesterday and I have to go in for another test today. The pain I am having is not from the surgery. he thinks it's either my appendix or kidney stones. I have to be at the hospital at 11 today for the test. When ever I get home I will let you know.

Cherly - Get that honey do list out for him. I have one started when ever my DH gets home. He got sent out again for a couple of weeks on his birthday.

Erin - Good to hear your dh got released to go back to work.

The girls are doing ok, keeping busy with their boyfriends and work. Cas starts college in a couple of weeks. Bren is still trying to pay off bills before she leaves to AZ for college.

Lynn the kids started Monday and our bus goes by and 6:30 every morning. Yikes! My kids ride to school with their Aunt every morning then I go and pick them up in the afternoon. They seem to be enjoying school this year and hope all goes well for them. Christopher is in the 3rd grade and Mikayla in 2nd. Hang in there with that incision and you will make it.
Erin I bet it does feel funny with him gone. My hubby is home this week on vacation so I am not getting much done either. I have made him do a few jobs that needed to be done along time ago but he is really good to help out. I am also enjoying the kids back in school to. NO fighting to put up with all day. Take care and hope you both have a great day.
By the way Lynn how are the girls doing?

Hi everyone!

My hubby was finally relased back to work. It was different having him home, felt like I never got anything done.

My oldest boy goes back to school next Wednesday and my little guy starts after Labor Day. I'm counting down the days for that too!

For a Mom, a day at home alone is better than a vacation anywhere else. Enjoy those hours. It's easy to try to get chores done when you have no distractions. Spend at least a little time just for you. Think of it as a required medication. It will rebuild you and strengthen you for the week ahead. God Bless.

Hello everyone. My asthma is improving and I am taking it easy on myself. Still lots of drama in my family life but nothing the Lord can't handle. Keeping my attitude positive and my goals in mind and doing the best I can. I've been maintaining and not gaining but not losing. Guess that's a positive thing because I didn't gain which is what I would have done last year lol. Cherly, I always looked forward to the kids being out of school for the summer. Then I looked forward to them going back in the fall. Hope you have some time for yourself planned for September...

My whole family has been sick for the past 2 weeks. My asthma has been really bad. My daughter ended up in ER with asthma last Friday. I am trying to be supportive of everyone and feel exhausted. There just isn't enough energy to deal with everything. Mom's aren't supposed to get sick when our family needs us. Sorry, I'm just too tired and stressed. With God's help this will pass soon. Missing you all. Back when I can.

Lynn be sure to take care of yourself. I know it can be hard to just sit back and rest sometimes. Glad your surgery went well. I'm sure you will be feeling so much better now.

My hubby is doing well. The gallbladder stuff has mostly healed up. Where he had the hernia taken out is still giving him some problems. The incision was right under his bellybutton so if he moves the wrong way or tries to pick something up it will begin to hurt.

We took the kids blueberry picking yesterday with a group of my friends (I'm in a local mothers' group). He doesn't usually get to do those types of things and it was nice to have an extra hand with keeping an eye on the kids. We came home with 4 lbs of blueberries, yummy! I think my 2 year old daughter ate at least a pint or two directly off the bushes!

Good luck with you surgery. Doctor's just don't listen to their patients any more. I was having problem (female) and my doctor made me feel like it was all in my head. I changed doctors and found out I had cancer. I knew something was wrong but my pap came back clear so do the doctor I was NUTS!

I won't be able to particaptae this month, I just got home from the hospital yesterday from part 1 of my surgerys and I go get my gallbladder out on Monday. I went in with chest pain and came out with this.

Don't take anything your body is telling you for granted go and get checked out. I was told a year ago that there was nothing wrong with me and this time they finally found it.

Sorry to go on about this, I will be back and chat. I promise.

Good luck to you with the doctor. I am totally drained from trying to get all the things ready for my parents anniversary party tomorrow. My sisters and I worked most of the day trying to get things all set up and still have a few things left to do. Very tired and ready to go to bed. Good night to all and hope you had a great day.

Thanks for the luck! August and September are historically my worst months due to the higher ozone levels in the city and the oncoming Fall season.

I'm not sure I'm as ready as I wanted to be - I with I had found SP earlier.
