    I've heard that Words with Friends is indeed fun... haven't tried it myself, though.

    Michelle... thoughts and prayers directed your way.

    Just got back from a week in Florida.  Great weather, great time with family.  Exhausted!!

    Not ready for school yet...need another month off.  I'd like to spend time with grand baby before I go back to work so either she has to come early for I go back to work late!!

    Hope all are doing well.  What is the address to Michelle's blog??

    Take care,

    Chris

    Hi everyone!

    Just popping by to say hi and check and see if either baby is here yet (I know there's still a few weeks to go)

    BethP - nice to see you back posting. Hope everything is going well for you sweetie.

    I am so happy for those having vacations, and I hope it was relaxing. I still haven't planned a vacation for this year - and the year is nearly over.

    One of these days I'll have to get the Word with Friends app. I am just so terrible at Scrabble. You will all wipe the floor with me.

    Hugs to all!

    JD...calling me sweetie put a smile on my face. Thank you.

    Words with friends is good because there isn't a time limit. So if you play a word and get busy for a few hours or a day or two, the game is still there....no pressure...that's what I like. So let us know when you are reday to join. Francine has played some good words that I hadn't heard before. I'm always learning something new!

    Hugs

    Thanks for the blog address. It is nice to keep up with Michelle!

    Can't believe we were in FL at the same time!

    Went to school today to get my room ready...not looking forward to this year. Last year did not end on a good note and I still have a bad taste in my mouth! Full inclusion and co teaching doesnt always go smoothly...too many control issues...ugh.



    Hugs all around...I will keep you posted on baby news...just waiting now!

    thought I'd pop in and say hi- its been awhile since I've been on here. I am travelling for work again, but this time in a much nicer part of OK- and its a huge job and they hired my DH to work with me! So I've been training him and working a lot. Its incredibly wonderful to have him here with me. We had to ship our kitties off to friends for a few months,but its the same place they stayed last year while we hiking and they adjusted much easier this time.

     Planning to take a trip to southern sierras on our next break time in a couple weeks, then back down for more work off and on probably through the end of the year. Anxiously awaiting news of Schnerbil's arrival Rachel!

    Hey, everyone!  Thinking about the Words game... pretty sure I'd be terrible at it, though.

    I, too, am anxiously awaiting arrivals of babies and grandbabies!

    Hi Ladies,

    Jan,,,,Are your son's going to be fathers? Or are the babies just part of your extended family .

    Re Words with Friends..I was terrible at the start and I get better all the time. Try it.

    Dayla..so happy that you are now working with your DH.

    Hello all,

    No sign of Schnerbil yet: 39 weeks and 2 days and counting! I think he has dropped somewhat but can't tell if he has fully engaged: as at last Friday he was nowhere near in position when the obstetrician checked. Am going for further check up on Friday and am booked for an induction next Tuesday though am in two minds whether to go ahead with it or just let him come in his own time. Am getting so much conflicting advice on the topic! 

    Anyway, apart from being increasingly heavy in the stomach region (and my thighs are their own continent) I feel fine: still have my ankles and my non-LE hand has not swollen at all. So am very lucky.

    Love to all.

    Oh boy oh boy, Schnerbil is imminent!  Good luck Rachel, hope things progress well for you and the Space Turnip!

    Hi Dayla! Nice to see you, and so happy to hear that you are liking your new job (and bonus that you get to work with your DH!)

    I'm still contemplating Words also...

    Hope all is going well Michelle! And with everyone else as well. Hugs xoxoxo

    Hi Ladies,

    Can't wait to hear about Space Turnip. It is just such a wonderful event after what we have all been through and what a miraculous event it is.

    Nice to hear from so many friends..

    Janine..you will love words . Beth and I have so much fun playing together. Amazing how fast the words come from Edmunton to my i phone.

    Hugs,

    Francine

    Hi ladies,

    Just read Michelle's blog and heard the good news. Her cancer is gone and she will go on chemo pills. She will continue to feel better and she is looking forward to working in the fall and her family cruise in December. How great is that..

    Hugs,

    Francine

    Francine... nope, no grandchildren on my front.  Just excited for others'! 

    Continue to be excited for you, Rachel!

    And, as you said Francine, HUGE news on Michelle.

    Great news Michelle!!  I am so happy that you can focus on your life instead of cancer...put it on the back burner and let the Lord take care of it!  Congratulations!!

     Still no baby news from here either.  I think it is bad etiquette to make my daughter-in-law walk with me each night...she just wants to sit and relax!  she is being selfish...I need this baby to come before I go back to work!  LOL

    For anyone who wants to read Michelle's FANTASTIC news : www.sayingitonce.blogspot.com

     The chemo she's been on did a fantastic job of kicking cancer's ass and she gets to switch to a daily pill chemo that won't make her feel so horrible and she doesn't have to go in but once a month! 

    can't wait to see some baby pics!
