Tuesday Funnies ~ My Stepdad Mike

So, I couldn't resist posting about this because I just laughed so hard, I knew you all would think it was funny too.
My stepdad was down at his parents house helping out with a building project. That evening, he went to shower and clean up. My Grama has one of those Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower cleaning kits and my dad, not really awake at the time, decided it was soap and he'd use it. Then he heard the warning beeps.
BEEP, BEEP, BEEP.
He realized when it started spraying in a circle for fifteen seconds, that it was soap alright, but not the kind he was looking for!!
Oh to have seen his face when he came back down the hall to tell everyone!

Hope you enjoy the laugh!

Prayer Needed ~ Aunt Lynn

My Aunt Lynn had some testing done yesterday. She has some nodules in her breast area they are worried about. They took some biopsies and we should know results in a couple of days.

Please keep her and the family in prayer while we wait.

Not Me Monday 1/26/09

Well, its time for another "Not Me Monday" posting and I thought I better get a posting made for you all to enjoy! MckMama is on vacation this week, but still posting, so check her blog after you read mine and all the rest of us crazy people!

I did not have a smile that lit up the whole of Mayo when I walked away from my hospital room with a waiver for six weeks off of work. I didn't!

I did not order twice from the kitchen in one meal while in the hospital. Nope, my appetite sucked!!

I did not talk my doctor into an extra night in the hospital when he suggested I go home the same day as surgery. Nope, I wanted out of there!

I did not get picked up by my grandparents and promptly fall asleep on the three hour car ride to their house. What could possibly make me that tired!?

The doctors put me on a 10 pound weight restriction for pushing, pulling or lifting and I certainly haven't been ignoring that! Nope, not me!

One week after surgery, I did not drive two 5-hour trip days to be with my family. Nope, I was resting comfortably at home!

I also did not load my car for said trip by taking things out in pieces to stick to my weight limit. Nope, it didn't take me an hour to load the car! And it certainly didn't take me three hours to pack!

I did not jump with joy that two of three babies I am expecting to make an appearance on the planet decided to do just that! Baby Elijah, you are next!!

I did not convince my mom I needed a turkey dinner just weeks after the holidays and suceed in getting one. Nope, not me. I didn't gain a pound either!

I have not spent a small fortune on vitamins and minerals since having gastric bypass and now gallbladder removal surgeries. Nope, I am healthy all by myself!

Well, I think this is enough for you to chew on for this week!

Head on over to MckMama's blog for over 400 other participating "Not Me" postings. Free therapy indeed!

Happy "Not Me" Monday!

Prayer Needed

Couple of prayer requests....

Baby Wyatt ~ Yes, the one that was born today. Apparently, he is septic. They helicoptered him down to Sacramento to a Level 1 hospital. I am not sure what all that entails as I don't have significant details. My guess is that they did the C-section because he was dropping his vitals because he pooped inside and I assume he swallowed some of the meconium. I hope to keep you posted to the positive on this soon.

My friend Jared's dad ~ diagnosed this week with pancreatic cancer that has spread to the liver. Typically this is a lethal diagnosis. Pray for Jared's whole family in dealing with this situation.

My Dad's friend Terry ~ had a heart attack this week. He is a big guy and the hospital is saying they can do nothing for him because of it. His option is to eat better and exercise to take off the weight, then, they could maybe do some stenting, but the risk of surgery right now is too great.

Thanks for your faithfulness.

Baby Wyatt

Well, one baby has made his appearance.

Wyatt Angus Smith was born this morning via C-section weighing in at 7 pounds and 13 ounces, 21 inches long. He is my cousin Melannie and her husband Angus' first born child. He now is a birthday buddy with my brother Mark as well.

I can't wait to see a picture and on Wednesday, I can see him live and in person.

I love babies!!

No news really on Wendi and Michelle. Wendi is back home, false alarm, so still waiting, no news on Michelle at all.

Happy BIRTHday Wyatt!!

Veteran's Day

Today is a day of remembering.

Remembering those who have fought for our country's freedom and died.

Remembering those who fought and came home scarred and broken.

Remembering those still fighting for our country's freedom today.

Today is Veteran's Day. I am willing to bet you know at least one person in the military, past or present. Make sure you tell them you appreciate all they do. Make sure you hug them. Make sure you honor them.

Happy Veteran's Day to my stepbrother Donald, member of the Air Force.

This post dedicated to my Uncle Mitch, who survived the Marines shortly after Vietnam, but could not overcome cancer. And to my great Uncle Greg, who died while in service in Vietnam.

Happy Birthday to..........

Grampa Gardner! Hope you enjoy your birthday!

Love you!
