5 NEW ANGELS

norm: what a great ministry to offer.... teens are so needy for direction, support and encouragement. just take it one step at a time. offer your willingness when you're ready. even if it's just for a short term.
KimberSIS: we saw Billy Joel a while back and soooo enjoyed it. Felt like the 'old days' for sure! enjoy. be sure you pace yourself -- even when you're having fun.
PuppyLovey: sending you warmth from my beach memories (otherwise you'd have a collection of our snowflakes from the afternoon..... you probably have had enough of those already.)
I've been bundled up tight against the elements, since the beach trip. Makes me really l-o-n-g for spring to arrive. We have the prediction of another storm coming thru. Enough already.
I do have to schedule 'rest' for when I'm on the road. I often take a nap upon arrival at my new spot. I was always a good napper, even before the whole bc/rads adventure. Now I just have to be certain that I keep a balance in my approach to each day.
Our SIL departed today for his Air Force assignment, so now we're on our own to supervise the arrival of the twins. Wish I could show you the snap of them thru ultrasound. Amazing. Thanks for your continued good thoughts on that front.
Be well all........ blessings to each of you.

What a great concert!!!!
Billy Joel was outstanding, and his band was so incredibly talented. Even with the very drunk (cheap wine and rum and coke...can you say icky hangover on a work night?) row mates talking loudly (what is it about alcohol that make people think everyone around them are deaf?) throughout songs they didn't dance to and bothering everyone around them, "Come on, get up and dance', it was so great to be there with my dh, my sisters and my best bud and her dh. I did take a nap before getting ready, then headed out around 5:00pm to meet everyone for dinner beforehand. I slept all the way home.Today, I have an appt. with the plastic surgeon, my labs, and must mail two packages. One for Sherry- your tshirt and one for my twins dear friend whose mother passed on Monday afternoon after a long battle with cancer. That ought to do me in.
I'll send you some of our sunshine Faith....it's beautiful!!!!
Thinking of you both, Puppy and Norm.

Despite today's additional snowfall schools were still in session..... so today i sang and danced at my 'original' school for young children with special needs (worked there directly from college -- nearly 30 years ago!!) I go once a month still, all these years later!
It's an amazingly exhausting day, 11 classes and moving all of my gear from room to room to room to room to room...... but it's impossible to leave there without more bounce in your step. The things we take for granted.
Watching a little not yet 2 year old navigating with a pint sized walker, one of her tennis shoes having a six inch platform and still barely the size of a peanut -- makes you realize quite quickly, how very fortunate you are.
KimberSIS: so glad that you had a great night's celebration..... with family and friends and all of his memorable tunes.
PuppyLovey: how much longer do you have to wait for results. Please let us know just as soon as you hear anything.
Norm: I'm thinkin' maybe you've had another appointment with your counselor? Let us know how that went..... did you take her an apple?
We're all walking forward. We're making progress. We're taking things one step at a time. We're cheering for each other. We're celebrating. We're fully engaged in what our lives have to offer.
Yup. I think we're pretty fortunate.

Hello Sweet, {{{Angel Watchers}}}
Sorry I have not been back for a while! just waiting on the doctors
to make up their mind on what to do first
!!!the US came back not so good, seems my throat is full of lumpy,bumpys(lots of them) So they will do biopsys to see what all is going to be invoved!
as far as I know the brain procedure is stll on for march 10!
hate to leave you with I dont knows, BUT Hate to leave You
{{SIS}} You GO Girl!!!!!!!!!!!
{{Norm}} I'm Lovin "IT" You are working hard and it will pay off
,HMMMM Wonder what is next??? God is good!!!
{{{{{faithandfifty}}}}}
You are a amazing Person!!!
I am SOOOOOO Proud to call You my Sister! working with the Special Angels You get to work with is a job, IMO-That only God Gives to Big Hearts, and The Greatest Love of All!
You are truley Chosen!! and We are Lucky that God sent You to us!
well gonna go now, if I dont come back for a while dont worry!
I am just having a hard time dealing with all the decisions to make!

Love,
Puppy

Puppylovey: waiting is such hell-on-earth. I was so unprepared for the agony of waiting for results. Know that I have you in my prayers for clear guidance and peace of mind in the process. Serious hugs to you as you wrestle with the lumpy bumpies. Thanks so much for coming in to give us the update.
KimberSIS: hoping that the fog has truly rolled out to sea..... that you're regaining your energy, strength and typical enthusiasm.
Norm: what's happening, dude? My little not-quite-two-year old grandson says, "Hey, Dude" and it really cracks me up. So I have 'dude' on the brain. Today when an airplane flew over top of the house he said, "Hi dad." He keeps looking around the house for his father..... hurts my heart to see him hunting & hunting, for a daddy across the country.
Norm: are you still planning your heart-to-heart? Ohhhhhhh and how are your puppies doing? What will you do with so many?

Hey Angel Watchers,
Man, no one told me that one se of chemo is Bipolor Disorder....just kidding of course, but wow, my lows are low and my highs are high (talking energy here)...and I've been a whirling dirvish.
Yesterday, after a night of chills, sweating like a pig (a strange saying as pigs don't sweat), and some bone pain, I woke feeling like I could conquer the world...so I conquered my housework...swept, dusted, mopped, and vaccumed the whole house. Met a friend for lunch and had a visit with another friend. Today, I did laundry already and plan to meet my son for lunch. I think I'm going to take my son to lunch.
That whole teenage time of life...not wanting to be with the parents so much...gets better in their twenties. It is like a light bulb goes on, and we aren't so much mother and son, but two adults. Oh, that doesn't mean I don't still get on him about keeping up with his grades considering that's his job in our book...more like pep talks because he feels stupid and ill-equipped in classes that require rote memory (terms and definitions) and lots of reading (Learning Disabilities). He's got an IEP, but having more time to take a test that still asks him to deal with rote memory doesn't help him much. I'll be encouraging him to understand that the way he prepares has to be different than the way Kayla prepares (she's getting A's and B's on her exams). He cannot study the day or so before and think he's going to retain the information. He has to find time to review his flashcards each day, several times a day if he's going to build long term memory. Short-term memory doesn't work for him. I'll have to use a gaming analogy as he's really a whiz at computer stuff...and math comes fairly easily to him as well. He's also awesome at the hands-on things like labs. Then, maybe a little shopping. Life is good!!!!!
So, Faith...sounds like a ball singing and dancing with those sweet little angels. And you are so right that all it takes is spending time with a child who has an illness, or a disability, or who lives in poverty....but who all mangage to not even notice their circumstances...life is all about being in the moment for them and enjoying what they have...being such a wake up call for those who may take what they have for granted.
Puppy is right...it takes a special person to do what you do and thankfully for everyone whose life you touch, you have been given such a gift.
Puppy- Man, it does suck having to wait for test results and answers. I guess I missed that part about the brain thing...what's going on with that? Positive energy is flowing your way sister friend...and the sunshine out my window right now., I'll send that along too..may it bathe you in warmth and allow you to imagine yourself in a tropical location where worries are far behind you. ((((HUGS)))))
Speaking of Puppy....Norm, how are you and those 11 new pups doing? Thinking about you and hoping all is well. Hoping you're making progress on your goal to help out the youth of your church and that your counseling sessions are helping you to navigate the issues you are dealing with.
Have a fabulous weekend angels,
SIS Kimberly

Hello,ANGELWACHTERS,just quick check-in before I head out again.
Puppy,so glad to hear from you!!! I can't imagine the stress you going through waiting for test results,and the struggle with what action to take next.Know that your in our prayers and thoughts
FaithandFifty,yes I had another visit with the consoler,GREAT session!No matter how bad we find our situation,we don't have to look far to see just how fortunate we really are do we?Your story of the 2yr. old brought tear's and a rude awakening of all the unjust that surrounds us!You are truly blessed to reach out to this children the way you do!!!!!!!!!!!
Kimberley,happy to hear your getting back on your feet again!!!Just keep reminding yourself your half way,YOU CAN DO IT Kimberley!!!!!!!!!!!! We are all with you!!!!!!!!
Well I finally received my new laptop today,so I'm mobile again. I think maybe there was a misunderstanding about the ministry I was talking about,I haven't went to church in a long while.The ministry I was talking about is Ministry of Children&Family Services.Right now,I'm just considering it,who know's?
The remaining pup's are doing fine,4 didn't make it.Roxy the mom was my dog that I gave to Ed after the accident with the understanding I get pick of the litter.I'm not sure whether I will take one or not though.It's alot of work going through the house training etc,etc.Ed and Sara think's that's what I need right now,but I'm not so sure!Our heart to heart talk is on Sunday,I'm keeping a positive attitude and jotted down afew thing's to be prepared.Well I'll sign off now.Hope you all have a great week-end,T.F.L.norm

Happy LEAP year, angel watchers. Hope that you all lept high, kicked up your heels as much as possible and made the most out of this day.
You'd all be proud of me, as I started painting a mural on the nursery walls for the twins-to-be. My dd's picked the theme: "Once Upon a Time." Today I painted a five foot tree between the windows. Have ideas for a castle, unicorn, dragon etc etc. It's awesome in my mind -- now to see what I can create. Oh, for enough time in the day.
Thanks to each of you for your kind words of support regarding my 'work.' I am very fortunate to get to do something unique, that is a real support to others in the process. It's all so simple and yet so appreciated. I could tell you stories daily that would melt your heart. I see so many children that face such enormous challenges and most of them in the process of overcoming: right before our very eyes.
Norm: so glad to hear that your counseling continues. Congrats on sticking with something new. Continued success in the process.
KimberSIS: i have a house that could use your next whirling dervish routine. I've been on the road so much that it's really gotten outta control.
Puppylovey: prayers for you today, and everyday. I too am a bit in the dark about the specifics of your current situation. If you ever have the energy please tell us more and my prayers will be more specific.
Happy weekend all!!

Afternoon Angel Watchers-
OK, I just got off the phone with my twin sis, and we crack up a lot when we're together in person or on the phone. Anyway, we got on the topic of exercise, and I told her that after the Billy Joel concert, I felt like I'd gotten a huge workout as my chest and arm muscles were so sore. She just started laughing. I said, I'm telling you, I could create a new workout for mastectomy patients...the Clap Workout...watch some great music video and dance seated or standing if you're at the intermediate level, and then clap with enthusiasm when the song is over. We are both just cracking up, and she says, hey, laughing works the abs...so we think the Clap and Laugh Workout is even better. The visual of a bunch of gals dancing around, clapping, and laughing is just making us laugh harder. Then she says, add jumping up and down because people always jump up and down when the concert is really great...now it's the Clap, Laugh, and Jump Workout. I said, "Oh, that's an Advanced workout, Kath." I tell you I was laughing so hard tears were streaming and my gut was just burning as I struggled to get a breath. She says, " It would be a big seller, Kimmy", and I responded, " Heck yeah, who could resist a laughing bald lady wearing a FUBC t-shirt on the cover?" Maybe you had to be there to appreciated the funny quotient, but I just wanted to share.
Norm- Thanks for clarifying the ministry thing...either way...helping troubled youth is a good thing as helping others gets us out of ourselves. I'm sorry to hear that four pups didn't make it, but then mother nature has her reasons for litters...not all will survive. I'm glad you're being cautious about getting a new puppy right now. You're right...it is a lot of work, and you've got a lot on your plate as it is...you'll know when you're ready to have a dog again. Good luck with the talk tomorrow. I'll be sending out positive energy to you for an easy time communicating your needs, and to Ed and Sara to have open minds and hearts to receive your message with the love in which it is intended.
Faith- Oh yes, I leapt alright! Did all the laundry, took my son out to lunch, and then went to a meeting at school regarding our direction for next year...we are a school built for 850 or so, and we have over 1000 now and will grow to 1100 next year. We have added portables everywhere you could think to add a portable and expect classes to be packed to 34 with PE at 45 to 50-CRAZY!!!! But, it was such a productive and positive solution oriented meeting...no bitching and moaning, which was so nice.
Oh, your grandbabies are so going to love the gift of your mural. It sounds great. Hope you can post pics when it's done.
Puppy-Thinking of you and reaching out over cyberspace with a big ((((HUG)))).

Made a lot of progress "mural-ing" today!! I'm so proud of myself for taking a risk and creating something that's truly one-of-a-kind.
KimberSIS: what an amazing bunch of growth your school district is experiencing! WOW. When are you planning to go back? With fall? Or just wait-and-see?
Puppylovey: prayers to you for a weekend of thinking, considering, reflecting........ and appreciating. The hugs are soaring thru cyber space.
Norm: best wishes on tomorrow's heart-to-heart. Keep talking to yourself about how change takes time. So glad that you've started the process. Prayers for you for the whole weekend.

For All of Us! I Cherish You!

Hey Angel Watchers,
Faith- So glad you had such a good mural day. I'm thinking I'll go back in the fall...don't want to miss that all important bonding and setting the tone time...but am willing to consider it may not be in my control.
Puppy- Thanks for your visual of cherishing us. We love you,too...and are here when you need us. I wish there was more I could do for you...I know the waiting is so hard and the not knowing what the next steps are is excruciating. (((((HUGS)))))
Norm- Hoping your talk goes well today. The first step is always the hardest as you've found going to the counselor, who you now speak of in positive terms. Huge!!!!
Have a glorious Sunday,
Kimberly

Happy Monday, Angel Watching friends......
Puppy: what amazing images here for Norm & Kimbers and also gorgous for slonedeb's thread too. What a talent. Congrats on being our cyber-techno guru. Know that we each cherish your thinking of us in the midst of your trials. Prayers. Prayers and more prayers.
KimberSIS: I love thinking of you having your twin sister to support you thru thick and thin. I LOVE having these new 3D ultrasound pics of our teeny twins -- already sharing. So exciting to think of them decades from now, cheering each other up after a broken heart or flat tire.
Norm: we're all holding our breath, awaiting the news of your first heart to heart. How were you received? Were you able to touch on the variety of issues on your heart?
I had a HUGE meeing with an educational company today, regarding a project they are commissioning me to create for the future. Pretty exciting!
Passed the CEO of their parent company: Highlights for Children, on the way in from the parking lot and had a lively conversation. Big opportunity.
We have a year to put it together. What a year it's gonna be!!
one step at a time friends, one step at a time!!

Hello,ANGELWACHTER"S.Hope this comment find's you all in good spirit's and health!All is well,here on the home front.I decided that today after lighting my candles I would write here instead of pacing at the window,looking for......
Well we had our heart to heart on Sunday and it went pretty well as I had expected.Ed understood what I was saying but I don't think I got through to Sara,maybe I'm wrong(hopefull that I am).At least now she know's how I feel and what I'm going to do if thing's don't change around here.
I was proud of myself,I didn't lose control said how I felt,and what I expect of them.I listened to what they had to say and agreed that we all had to change if we want to get through this as a family.
I guess we just have wait and see what happen's now,I'm keeping a positive attitude,maybe it will rub off on Sara.I'm not expecting thing's to change overnight,just an effort on her part would be a blessing to me!!!!!!!!
How's life,Kimberley? Sound's like you have your work cut-out for you when you return to your school!I bet you can't wait.
Puppy,thinking you haven't received your result's yet?Hang in there kid,we'll all here for you!!!!!!!
FaithandFifty,you really are a sucker for punishment aren't you!Grand twin's on the way,travaling across the the country as well as starting a project for the future,if that's not enough,getting into conversation with the CEO!The R&R you had must have been a much needed one by the sound of your very active life style(moss doesn't grow on a rolling stone)I admire your lust for life and get it done attitude.
Tomorrow is consulor day,I'm actully looking forward to it.I'm so thankful I didn't quit..Thank's again Kimberley,your comment when I was going to quit made me soooooo pissed off(exactly what I needed)for this,I'm truly gratefull!!!!!!!!!
Have a great evening;you are ALL in my thought's and prayer's! T.F.L. norm -
Congrats Norm!!!! WAY TO GO!!!!!! Heart to heart. Counselor. Progress. Movement. Forward. One step at a time. You're such an inspiration. I'm so glad to be able to cheer for you. Go captain. Go captain. Go captain.
I am indeed attempting to balance quite a bit these days. Thanks for your encouragement. I can use it, for sure.
KimberSIS: loving your enthusiasm every time you post. We're so fortunate to borrow some of your steam. How old is your son? I think I've forgotten, or got confused by one of your posts.
PuppyLovey: my little toddler, wonder-boy has really worn me out. I can really use one of your cyber hugs. So glad to sent it -- all wrapped up in those beatiful pictures you're sharing.

Norm: I think it's a great idea to come here and post -- every day after you light your candle. I'd love to hear more from you.

Hi all,
Been busy. Went to lunch with a friend, a 4 mile walk with another, and yoga class in the past two days. Today, I've been researching the pros and cons of radiation based on my dx using the American Cancer Societies Treatment Option tools. Lots of the research shows little if any significance on overall survival rates for women who have had a mastectomy ( I had a bilateral) and radiation vs those who didn't have radiation. I've done chemo, so I figure my odds are even better than mastectomy alone. Once 20 year study even pointed out the number of deaths in the non radiation group 13% due to breast cancer paled compared to the 21% who died of other causes due to radiation side effects. I just don't want to keep putting toxins into my body just because the docs say so based on what they've always done. Lots to think about and lots of questions for the oncologist.
Norm- I am so glad your talk went well and that my pissing you off was enough to keep you going to counseling, which you're now finding rewarding. You're welcome!!!!
Faith- What great news about your new endeavor. Yep, balance will be the key for sure, but I have no doubt that you'll pull it off.
Puppy- Thinking of you as always and waiting to hear good news. ((((HUGS))))

Puppylovey: Where on earth are you finding these gorgous images that you're sprinkling all over the threads/prayers? I find them so absolutely uplifting. Thank you. I will indeed have you in my prayers thru the coming week and always as you submit yourself to new and additional testing and procedures. May you have strength in the face of the unknown.
KimberSIS: WOWOWOW. Your energy is exploding!! congrats on finding positive venues for directing that enthusiasm. Best wishes for your research and decision making as you consider all of the ramifications of rads and the future.
Norm: Every day you're making progress in integrating your new world. I'm so proud of you. Continue to ask for divine guidance as you navigate the choices in front of you. Have you started to think about getting your lungs as healthy as possible again. First just think about it.
Be well. Blessings friends.

Hey Angel Watchers,
PuppyLove- I love the butterflies and the angels. You certainly will be in my thoughts darlin'. I'll be sending SuperGirl energy your way Monday morning and Friday as well.
Faith-Thank you for your words...as always...just the right ones. I want so much to just know what the best route to go is...and I know all I need to do is let it go and all will be revealed, but I'm such a nut about wanting to know everything about everything that will have an effect upon my life/body...to make a really informed decision. Deep breath in...blow it out...and again...OK...I'm a bit less hypervigilent...yoga is good.
Norm- I too am so proud of you for taking lemons and making some darn good lemonade.
SIS Kimberly

Angels-watchin' over us.......
Puppylovey: but I seriously have no idea how you do it!! I'm such a techno-infant. You're really impressing me. Keep it up. Such a joy!! What do you have in mind for your weekend? Hope there's something uplifting on your agenda.
KimberSIS: glad to offer my encouragement. There's SO many decisions to be made along this journey. We each sculpt a path that's best for our situation. Do your research -- so that you'll sleep soundly at night. I know you'll choose well for yourself and your story.
Norm: Today when I was driving out of the school parking lot, I was thinking of you. It took me 5 times as long to drive home as it took to drive over in the a.m. ----- so I had plenty of time for my prayers today.
A little bit of snow completely discombobulates us around here.
What plans do you have for your weekend? Keeping busy seems like a good plan. Trip into the big city?
Know that I'm thinking of you......

Your Love Amazes me! I know God in Heaven has sent Angels!
Love You Angel Watchers!

Puppylovey: keep up your inspirational postings.... you're keeping me sane during our crazy blizzard. Thank heavens our twins-to-be are still happy with their mommy apartment. We'd need either a helicopter or a snowmobile to get her near a hospital this weekend.
KimberSIS & Norm: pop in with the latest.
Kimbers, I woke up thinking about you today.... your chemo fog and it's parting to give you such renewed vigor. Sorta like waking up this morning, in the middle of a March blizzard in Ohio. You know that it's a storm to be reckoned with, but at the same time you KNOW that it's not gonna be able to hang around a long time. You're gonna get thru this -- just like we're gonna dig out of this nonsense. Wiser and with quite a few stories to tell.
Norm: How much snow do you get in a season? I've had enough to last me for several years!!

Keeping All of You in Good Company while I'm away!

Oh the sun is shining again and the little tree my darling man planted outside my office window is budding little pink flowers and the sound of a cooing dove is just making me smile.
I had such a wonderful day yesterday. We drove to Calistoga ( a small town in the Napa Valley) in the mustang with the top down with some friends ( yes, I wore sunscreen). Stopped on the way at Lake Berryessa where we have property with a great view of the lake as our friends had never seen it. We can't build on it as there is now an issue with not enough sewer capacity, so they're addressing that issue and no building permits will be issued for at least another two years we're guessing. We just missed the cut off...but no big deal. We've got time. Anyway, ate lunch in St. Helena, then on to Calistoga for the
Jazz and Wine festival. All these little towns are so cute. The shops, restaurants, and even the hardware store hosted vineyards and their wines for tasting. Ended the day with a nice meal in Napa...we met up with my older sister and her man-friend in Calistoga...and got home about 10:30pm. Long day, but so fun. I slept in until 9am technically since we sprang forward.
PuppyLove-We're all with you as you head into your brain procedure tomorrow...and on through the week for Friday's MRI biopsy. We love you, so take that love with you, OK?
Faith- I like the analogy of the fog being like your snow storm...something to reckon with, but nothing that won't end with a bright sun shiney day.
Love the mommy apartment...that's a great image. My twin and I call eachother wombmate. My son, who was three weeks late, states he was way too comfy kicking back watching the kidney channel to want to leave. HeeHee.
Norm- Hope all is well...another trip into the city to escape? Look forward to hearing your news.
SIS Kimberly
-
Puppylovey: As KimberSIS has already promised..... we'll all have you in our prayers for tomorrow's procedure. Be calm. Information is power. Strength in the face of the unknown for you, sweet woman.
KimberSIS: Thanks for the images of Napa. I was just there in Dec and it was fairly dormant during my visit. But we did get in and out of a lot of those cute little towns..... shopped, ate and had great times. How old is your son, K?
Please send us some of your signs-of-spring.
Norm: are you having dinner with Sara and Ed again today? Another bit of a heart-to-heart..... just keep chipping away at it, one day you'll reflect back and see how much progress you've made.
Courage for the new week at hand.
OHHHHHHHH. Today being Sun., we get to add to the twins-to-be-total. Today they are 32 weeks. Hip hip hooray. Love that they're still happy together nestled in.
-
Puppylovey: Today all energy is devoted to your journey. Sending you tons of goodness to get you thru. We'll be waiting the news with you -- every step of the way. Your care and concern for others is now 'boom-a-ranging' right back to you. Peace thru the process.
Norm & KimberSIS: you are always in my prayers. Continue to engage in healing, wholesome, uplifting activities to speed the healing process. We are capable of so much -- even in the face of the unthinkable. Know that I care about each of your stories and wish you all that you need for today. Tomorrow I'll send you new blessings to tide you on your way.
School is cancelled everywhere close at hand for today, as we continue to dig out from this goofy blizzard. Staying all cozy inside. Safe and sound.
-
PuppyLove- As Faith stated, all of our positive energy is with you today. I agree that you're kindnesses are totally coming back to you. I'm picturing you sitting on the beach looking wistfully out to the ocean as you are in your avatar...healthy and full of joy.
Faith- I'm so happy that your twin grandbabies have reached the 32 week mark. We have a counselor at school whose wife had several miscarraiges and finally has twins in utero who too are awaiting the magic 32 week mark. She was hospitalized with high blood pressure issues but was able to come home last friday. The babies are fine. Twin blessings all around.
I wish I could send you some of my sunshine...a blizzard? I'll bet the kids are happy to have a snow day though!!!
My son is 24 almost 25. I can't even believe how quickly time has passed. He was just a baby yesterday.
Norm- Thinking of you and knowing you're doing what you need to do for your healing.
