Love For Ashley

This past weekend I was in Mobile, Alabama helping my mom after she had heart surgery. Since I had no children to tow around I took advantage of it and went out with my sisters. We decided to go out to Crooked Martini and watch the Alabama/Georgia game. Of course, Alabama won and moved to No. 2 in the Polls (ROLL TIDE) and my beloved Gators...Okay they lost but I still love them. My kids call me an AlaGator fan but when the Gator's play Alabama, it's GO GATORS! When my sister's and I get together we always forget to take pictures, mainly because we never bring a camera. This time we used my cell phone. As much as I hate my Blackberry Pearl; it does take a decent picture even I look somewhat photogenic. From Left to Right; Me (43), Terri (45) and Renee (41) The night out started with me getting a bruise on the back of my left calf. Lesson learned: when sitting on a shaky table don't wiggle your butt to make it shake more, result a collapsed table and very bruised legs. ...

I am sick . At work today I felt that I was coming down with something because I was freezing to death. But when one of my coworkers also said she was cold I thought okay I am not sick. Then after picking up the kids from school my head starting pounding, I took my temperature and it's 100.2 right now. I am thinking strep, so I will go to the docs tomorrow just to make sure. Pray it's nothing, we have a lot going on this weekend. We are suppose to watch a good friend cheer at her second middle school football game, Brad has his second baseball game on Sunday and Ashley is suppose to go to a youth group gathering at our church on Sunday. Please pray. Today my sister's called me to tell me that my mom was taken to the hospital by ambulance. According to my sister, Renee, my mom was throwing up what she was thought was blood and complaining of chest pains. Of course, my mom thought she was having a heart attack which is completely possibly since she is a huge smoker, is overwe...

All cookbooks have arrived, all seven boxes. We also received a nice surprise, we only ordered and paid for 300 cookbooks but we received 341. Before we deliver the cookbooks, we need to place all the tabbed indexes inside the cookbooks. Although this seems like tedious work, it is relatively easy to do. Right now, Ashley is sitting on our living room floor surrounded by many boxes, inserting the tabbed indexes into the cookbooks. I need about 10 people over to get these tabbed indexes in quicker so we can get the boxes out of the living room and the cookbooks shipped to you. By the way, I am feeling much better today. So far no temperature, although right now I am sweating but that's because I was moving 7 boxes into the living room. My stomach seems to be settled. I have eaten for the first time in two days so hopefully my little tummy bug flew the coup. Love to all

Ashley's doing better and was able to attend dance company rehearsals Saturday and she was finally able to eat something for lunch on Saturday. She still doesn't have much of an appetite but she at least is on the mend and is no longer contagious. Me on the other hand. I have been very healthy these last few years; hardly sick at all. Yesterday, I came down with a very nasty stomach virus and I am frequently in discomfort. Other than a bout with intermittent stomach cramps and frequent trips to the bathroom, I feel fine. Hopefully this little stomach bug will go away very soon. And I pray that I don't pass it along to anyone else in the family especially Ashley. Cookbook Update : I just checked the UPS website and the cookbooks are on time, in Orlando, and should be delivered to our house tomorrow, June 30. I am so excited. We have 80 more cookbooks to sell, so if you haven't ordered yours yet please do so today. Please see information about ordering cookbooks at the ri...
