HERE WE GO........ WEE WEE

Well I got my call from the surgeon's office this a.m. and I have my last appt. with him on June 5th, I have to pay for everything then, ugghhh BUT at least it is only 575.00 instead of 17,000.00 if I was self pay! Then I go to pre-admission get that started, then start my 2 week liquid diet and looks like I will have surgery on either June 20th or June 27th, whichever I can get. I asked for a Friday surgery so I can recoop over the weekend and go back to work on Monday.... It will be so nice to get this part out of the way and I can start working on the new me.

I will have Heather take a before shot of me (which will be awful, but I have to bite the bullet and do it!) and start a scrapbook of the whole entire process. Heather warned me there will be a camera used on my surgery date... so don't laugh when you see those photos! LOL

Can anyone tell I am so excited?!?!?!?!?!?

I am approved!

I just found out today that I am approved through my insurance for the lapband surgery! Now I get to make my final appt. with the surgeon and get my surgery date, do my pre-op tests and then start the liquid diet which last 2 weeks prior to the surgery! I am soooooooooo excited. I will keep posting about the progress I am making as each step is met!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY......

I met this wonderful creature when I was 21 years old.
I met my mom when she was 17 years old.
I met this beautiful little girl when I was 43 years old!
And I met this little Diva when I was 41 years old!
Me and my girls!!!!

Happy Mother's day to all.... I got to spend the day with my daughter and two special little girls. We went after church to see my mom, and wish her Happy Mother's Day as well.



Services at church today we very good, with the Virtues of a Righteous Woman and all of the mother's being honored.



Here are a few pictures from today! I sure miss my baby boy though and his wife Codie.... Hopefully, next year we can spend the day together or a day close to Mother's Day....

Reflections...

I was doing dishes yesterday and thinking about my life up to this point. Yeah, I have had alot of fun, laugh out loud times in my life and then some NOT SO FUN times. But I believe all of the times in my life are what have made me who I am today. Yes, we all have quirks or personality glitches with in us, but for the most part I feel like I am the best I can be at this point in my life. I know I have areas of improvement (don't we all!) but I guess what I am trying to say, is I am OK with who I am right now!

I am really excited to see what my future holds in the next couple years, five years or even 25 years from now (I will be old as dirt, but will still be trying to have fun and making others laugh!).

The countdown....

Heather is so excited that David is coming home soon for a short visit. This weekend will be crazy getting the house all organized and cleaned and then the yard work also..... I think keeping her busy will keep her mind busy so she doesn't have time to obsess about it all!

I am excited about seeing him too and seeing him interacting with the girls once they get reacquainted! Constance will have no issues, but Ivy will not remember him and she is shy at first with people she doesn't know. I know once he throws her in the air she will be hooked! She loves to fly and Mom and Grandma can use a break from that! LOL

I am sure I will have pictures to post once we pick him up from the airport. I am going with them to be the photographer and then I will come back to work so they can have some family time!

That is all at this moment... just working and coming home and working more....

Not much!!!

Well not much going on in my life right now. My paperwork was submitted to the insurance company the beginning of this week for my lapband procedure, so I am waiting to hear back from that to see if they are going to approve the procedure.

Other than that not much. Waiting for garden area to dry up enough to work it and get some stuff planted. So hopefully, Sunday after church I will be in the garden playing and riding around on the lawnmower later in the afternoon... Oh the life of a country girl!

I will be moving into Springfield area the first part of next year, once Heather and the girls head back to Ft. Hood, TX when David returns from Iraq. The gas prices and the miles I put on my car daily are not good! So Springfield here I come..... Living in the city is alot different and it will take come getting use to again, but I have done it before so no biggy...

Well that is all I have to blog about this week. Hopefully in a week or so I will be blogging about setting a surgery date!
