All I know is that they went in and took alot of her intentine out awhile back. I dont' have cancer, but we are taking some of the same medicines, so its interesting to compare notes and such. She was a big help yesterday as well. Nice lady. But now...the big day, the big weekend is over, and its time for us to get back to regular life, and for Ethan to step out in REAL life.]]>Proud Of Mehttp://prairieedge.squarespace.com/journal/2009/5/3/proud-of-me.htmlPrairierose2009-05-03T21:30:02Zweight loss products is what I need to do, then so be it. And I want to start decluttering and making the house more company friendly. Even 15 minutes a day would make a huge difference around here. I just need to work out a schedule for myself, that doesn't involve sitting in front of the computer and TV all afternoon, and make this new development in my life apositive thing. I have to make this work. I'm tired of being tired all the time and not doing much every day. I can see this going either way, so I'm focusing on the positive and try to make my husband proud of me for the changes.]]>Letting Gohttp://prairieedge.squarespace.com/journal/2009/5/3/letting-go.htmlPrairierose2009-05-03T21:18:00Zslimming pills reviews instead, and figure out what I could do in the next two weeks to make a difference. Its going to be a long weekend, with graduation, and 2 receptions. And major relief that it is over. Sadness as well, that it is over as well. My baby graduates from high school. A whole new life ahead, for all of us. He will be starting a new life, probably in a new home, and probably even a new job. We will have the same home and same job(s), but with something different. Quietness. No one at home but the two of us. We have had 5 kids over the last 33 years, and the last one will be flying the coop in just a few short weeks. The end of an era. I hope I adjust well. In many ways, I'm not looking forward to it. Ethan and I are close. We talk. We share our days. We help each other. No having him here will be different. But, I have to let go sometime. Now is the time.]]>Getting A Quotehttp://prairieedge.squarespace.com/journal/2009/4/27/getting-a-quote.htmlPrairierose2009-04-27T02:11:56Zterm insurance quote and make sure we have the best policy in place that will take care of me or David when something happens to one of us, or that the kids will get a nice tidy sum if something happens to the both of us at the same time.]]>Vacationing At Bransonhttp://prairieedge.squarespace.com/journal/2009/4/27/vacationing-at-branson.htmlPrairierose2009-04-27T00:09:58Ztravel insurance online, but we might get online and see what all we would like to do, while we are there, as well as on the way. Its probably an 8 hour drive, so we could turn this into a real vacation. Ethan will be out on his own, and it would just be the two fo us. I would like to feel better physically,so will work on that. Enjoying this trip is a great incentive.]]>Changes Are Cominghttp://prairieedge.squarespace.com/journal/2009/4/25/changes-are-coming.htmlPrairierose2009-04-25T19:38:59Zdiet pill that works. Losing weight would help significantly with the other things. I am not happy with the way I live my life right now, but don't seem to have the time or energy to change it. I'm hoping these changes do transpire, and I can finally make a difference in my life. This has gone on long enough.]]>Oversizedhttp://prairieedge.squarespace.com/journal/2009/4/19/oversized.htmlPrairierose2009-04-19T22:45:29Zbreeches were too big. What he ended up doing was taking the suspenders from his other tux and that kept his pants up without having to worry about being depants mid dance. Its good to know they have his size and bigger. Not that I want him to ever wear the size he could have been for them to fit right. But, when you are "this" size, its not very often you find something that is too big for you. But this sure was. But, he still looked handsome in his tux.]]>Getting Ready For Prom Nighthttp://prairieedge.squarespace.com/journal/2009/4/15/getting-ready-for-prom-night.htmlPrairierose2009-04-15T03:14:12Zplus size corsets and even if they did, I'm sure Ethan wouldn't wear one. Fortunately, though, the tux fits good -- maybe even a little on the loose size, so thats a good thing. Its hard to believe we are in the final days of school for him. A senior. Where have all the years gone and when did my little boy turn into such a wonderful young adult?]]>Protecting The Floorshttp://prairieedge.squarespace.com/journal/2009/3/16/protecting-the-floors.htmlPrairierose2009-03-16T01:29:13Zarea rugs -- but since we are only over there once, maybe twice a year for something like this, I can see why he just gave me this funny look and told me that it probably wouldn't happen. Maybe this year we can have Thanksgiving at our house, and then we won't have to worry about the floors. We have carpeting all through the house.]]>Clearing The Weekendhttp://prairieedge.squarespace.com/journal/2009/3/16/clearing-the-weekend.htmlPrairierose2009-03-16T01:14:39Zsafety equipment and if something isn't there, or needs to be replaced, to tell him. But still, every once in awhile, he'll make a big circle, and visit all the trucks himself, and check to make sure everything is what the driver's says. Most of the time, it is. But there are times, what the drivers consider "good", David doesn't. So, it doesn't hurt for David to be double checking them. But still, it would be nice if David could have the weekends totally off like the rst of us. He wouldn't know what to do with himself.]]>
