HELLO EVERYONE!!!

I just thought I would drop in and say hello. I haven't posted anything in a while.
There's not really all that much in the way of new stuff happening here.
In case any of you have followed my previous posts, which admittedly are few and far between, sorry for that, you might remember me mentioning my youngest son's impending surgery. Well, it was scheduled for this week but was postponed when it turned out that his doctor had to go to a convention or something this week. SO we've been pushed back to March 19, unless someone else has to cancel before then and we luck into a sooner spot. In the meantime he is doing alright, no major health scares lately(knock wood).

Other than that, I'm just plugging along.

Oh, I did want to ask if anyone hears of or finds a soundtrack for DW The Specials, could you let me know? I love the music from the show(actually I love score music among many other kinds) and would love to have the score for the specials if they put it out.

Other than that, David Tennant is a FANTASTIC actor, AVATAR was awesome, Chuck is back on Sunday, all in all not a bad week.


azriona , I am really enjoying hearing of your adventures in New Motherhood.  Your son is an adorable baby.  

ANyway, I hope everyone had a good holiday season and that your new year will be very happy.

HUGS to ALL

Ok, I need somewhere to vent.

I know it's been a while since I posted and I'm sorry if this one is a rant, but it will probably be largely ignored anyway and I need to get out my frustration.

My son was scheduled for major surgery on Jan 8. He has, among his various conditions, scoliosis and they are going to correct the spine. So I kept him on the Home Hospital Program(school, in which instead of him being at school the district sets up a special ed teacher to come to him at home). I have made sure he had both flu shots, regular and H1N1. I have sacrificed going and doing much of anything with my community theater so as to devote more time at home to make sure he stays healthy before his surgery because they want him infection-free for a month before surgery.

Less than half an hour ago the lady who handles the scheduling for the surgeon called to tell me that he has to be at a conference the week of Jan4-8 and surgery will have to be moved back and the next available is March 19. WTH!!!!!(I'm trying not to be to vulgur therefore WTH instead of WT* which is what I want to say). This means getting all his ducks in a row again with all his specialists and possibly a dental surgery before. Because, oh yeah, his dentist is worried about some baby teeth that are about to fall out and surgical removal of some baby teeth that haven't fallen out and are keeping the permanent teeth that want to come in from moving into the right place is the only option for him because of his respiratory issues and seizures.

Now, March is awfully close to April which is when the caregiver's retreat(Mom camp) is that I usaully go to and now I don't know if I'm going to get to go because I don't know if he'll be well enough by then for me to leave him with his father and the nurse(well actually I'm not worried about the nurse, but she's not here 24/7)

Oh, well, that's life, I guess. Sorry to bore you all with this.(if you read this far that is).

But believe it or not it has helped me a great deal to slow down the waterworks and take some deep breaths. I'm so glad I have somewhere to vent.
Ais, sorry about the abrupt ending to the email.

*big Hugs* to all of you who were patient enough to read this, and to everyone else because I'm a hugger. :)

Is this thing on?  Is anybody out there? 

ECHO.......ECHO.....ECHO.......


I am utterly alone here, aren't I?

DOCTOR, are you out there?   I am terribly afraid that a few of my f-listers have possibly been abducted by aliens.

PLEASE, HELP THEM

I miss them very much.

I am having trouble getting myself motivated to continue cleaning house.  I still have a bit of a cough, but it's not too bad.  But I feel a bit tired and I have a slight headache, which I"m sure will be gone in no time since I just took some Motrin.

I miss my son's nurse who is still a bit sick so didn't come back to work today.  I miss her not just because she's his nurse, but my very good friend.   I have gotten so used to her being here, as she is 5 days of the week.

I miss a couple of my long distance friends, too.  My IM has been very quiet the last few days. 

Well, that's really about all from here for now.  I hope you are having a nice day/night.

*HUGS*

The day is pretty much half over and still I've done no more cleaning yet.  My son is sitting in his wheel chair and he looks at me as if to say, "Gee, Mom, you going to do anything productive today or just keep getting yourself sidetracked by LJ and Facebook and whatever other site you frequent." 

I seem to have no answer to this. 

I am a little worried about a friend of mine who's been a bit down lately.  I hope she is alight and I continue to keep good thoughts for her.

My hubby is home sick again with what seems to be a cold/flu type thing.  But he's resting.  I'm torn between   resting and cleaning, because to be honest, I also have a bit of a cough and feel a bit...um.....drained, I guess.   WHich is probably why I keep letting my computer stuff keeps distracting me. Oh, well.  I'll get to it.

Well, I've bored you good people enough.  Hope you are all having a good day/night.

*HUGS*

I haven't posted in a while.  So I thought I would just touch base. 


I am taking a little break from my community theater work.  I think I need to concentrate on family stuff right now, and I don't want to spread myself too thin.  When I did that last year around the holidays I ended up sick with pneumonia.  

Right now I am just concentrating on ways to keep my youngest son, whom many of you know is considered medically fragile, as healthy as possible.  This time last year he was down with some infection and on antibiotics and was on them almost constantly until Jan.  This year he's scheduled for major surgery in Jan and we're supposed to keep him infection free for at least a month before.  That's not easy to do in the best of circumstances, add in the fact that it's the middle of flu season and the "swine flu" going around so much.  I will have a tricky job ahead.   But I  reamain hopeful.  
My hubby has a bit of a cold right now.  I have a slight cough and felt a bit drained today.  But I don't have a fever or anything, so that's good.  I feel a little guilty though.  I had this sudden energy to clean yesterday(and this house needs it) and today it seemed to disappear. 
Oh, well, there's always tomorrow.  I should be home for the next few days anyway because my son's nurse called in sick the last few days and for her to do that, she really must be sick as she very rarely calls in sick or takes a day off. 

Well I suppose I've rambled at you enough for tonight.  Hope everyone is having a good day/night.

*HUGS*

I had a nice day yesterday for my birthday.  Many thanks to those of you who sent me happy birthday messages, and especially to ageless_aislynn (for the wonderful pics of Pooh and PIglet and two wonderful cakes), amberfocus (for the very wonderful fic) and tolostwolfchats (for the very nice virtual gift) .  I am so blessed to have made some very good friends here at LJ.
I ran a few errands, then went and had my nails(which are acrylic right now) filled and got a pedicure.  My manicurist even did my nails free for my birthday.  I rented a movie at Hollywood Video and found out they give free rentals(up to 2) on birthdays.   Then I met my 17 year old son for lunch at Olive Garden(which is an italian food restaraunt for those of you unfamiliar with the name).
All in all it was a nice day.

My hubby took today off because he had to be in court.  In June he'd been ticketed for being on the cel phone while driving, which he wasn't but the officer wouldn't listen.  But this morning he appeared in court and showed the officer and the judge the phone records for all our cel phones for that day, on which there was absolutely no activity at the time in question. He was found not guilty and we didn't have to pay a ticket. YAY!!!!

The play I was directing for my commutiy theater group is over now.  It went well and the audiences really seemed to like it.

Now I need to get everyone in for flu shots. 

I have a roast and veggies in the crock pot cooking for dinner tonight.  I love cooking in the crock pot.

I want to wish a very Happy Birthday to my dear friend,mkejenkins .


Well, I hope you are all having a good day or night. 

HUGS

Just wanted to drop a post and say hello to all my friends. I haven't posted in a while.

Well I am just finishing up my run as director of Barefoot in the Park for my theater group.  The show is going well.  We have one show, a  matinee, today and then three perfomances next weekend and then we're done.  It's been a lot of fun. But I am seriously considering taking a break from the winter show.  By the time Thanksgiving is over I am going to have to concentrate really hard on keeping my youngest healthy if his surgery is to go on as scheduled in Jan.  So I am considering taking a break from my theater stuff. 

My husband, sons and I, along with my sister and brother in law, help my parents celebrate their 50th Anniversary last weekend and had a photographer come to the house to do some portraits.  It was the one thing Mom asked for, a new family portrait.  It will be a couple of weeks before we  get to see them.  He said he had a few weddings to get produced ahead of us.


This next week I have to take B to two of his specialist with an appointment for another specialist the next week, as well as an appointment for my older son with his orthopedic specialist on the 30th. Whew. 

Oh, my husband let me get a couple of tickets to see my favorite Ventriloquist/Comedian, Jeff Dunham.  The show is in Nov on the Sat of Thanksgiving weekend.  It's the only Southern Calif date on his tour schedule.  So I am very excited about that.

Well, I suppose I have rambled at you enough for now.

Hope you are all having a great day(night). 

HUGS

Hello, my name is Amy, I'm 42 next month and I'm a Twilightaholic.  Not to mention a shopaholic, chocaholic, Doctor Who obsessed and a lists of a few more obsessions that I won't get into.  

Ok, so seeing as any of the people I usually chat with are either....

A.  terribly ill and therefore unable to communicate(in which case I send you hugs and wishes for a speedy recovery)

B. busy with an actual life as opposed to my lazy ass doing nothing all weekend(other than grocery shopping)

C. have been abducted by aliens(I hope their friendly and as hot as DT)

......I found myself  with some time on my hands.  I saw the movie Twilight a while back when the video came out.  I had never read the books.  Since then I have downloaded the ebook versions so I decided last night to get started on New Moon. 

So now I'm hooked and in the mood to kick Edward's ass.

I hope you are all having a nice weekend.(or had since it's almost over and is over for some).

*HUGS*
