30lbs gone

At least some of the skin is shrinking with the weight loss so Lord willing I won't have to have any excess cut off. I fear all I could afford would be cowboys pocket knife and a huge fire to sterilize it before he

Post Lap Band

It has been one week since surgery and since July 24th I have lost 22lbs. I am not hungry and that is new for me.......I LIKE IT !!!!!!! I wish I would have watched my weight years ago and not have to have resorted to surgery. I did in a way watch my weight...I watched it go up and up and ........ect!!!!!!Nothing taste as good as I feel right now. I pray nothing ever taste as good as this feels. I am sore, I get tired easily but hey for me a week after surgery has never felt this good! Well can't sit here all day and say how great it feels not to feel hungry but it's true for the first time in my life. Love cj aka momma aka nannie

I have finished

The 4th and final book of Twilight [4 book saga] and it was W O W !!!!!!!! I had been waiting since last year to get my hands on this book and it was sooooooooo worth it 700 pages in 48 hours [okay i had to sleep some.ya think?I love the Bella and Edward love story and the books are all cliff hangers. I can't talk about any thing on line because some of my blogaphobics are not finished reading it yet!!! Shannon and I got my niece hooked and in 2 weeks sha has finished all of the first 3 books. She is sooooooooo into it!!!! The three of us are texting or calling each other a million times a day just to ooooh or oh no or not they didn't kinda of stuff. However she has to wait for the 4th book until this weekend. I couldn't wait for Shannon to deliver mine so she is bringing it to the hospital Thursday and I will bring it home and Teresa will pick it up here [provided she brings her uncle mike some food] Ha!!!!! Well, gotta go so until next time take a moment all to yourself and do something nice. love cj aka momma

This is the second blog

I had the most wonderful blog ready to post and OOOOOPS somehow this computer ate it!!! Well yes it could be the person typeing but I don't think so! Anyway I wrote about the newest love in my life and that is Miss Lanie Elizabeth. Saturday cowboy and I got to hold her and love her and hold her and did I mention love her and hold her?????LOL!!! Babies are just the cuteest, sweetest, most innocent like creation ever put on this earth. I love her smiles, her coos, her spitting up all over the dress I wore, the poopie diaper i had to change [okay mabe not so much the poopie diaper] but soooooooooooooo much love wrapped into such a tiny little body. Next Miss Ella Grace entertained us with all her little 15 month old tricks. We got there at 11am and left around 3pm but it wasn't enough time, they just grow so fast. I hate missing a minute of any of my babies, whether it's Boo or Jax. Ella Grace, or Lanie. I miss my own babies even though my youngest just turned 29 on Aug.1st! I have been getting ready for yet another surgery but this time I am wanting it to happen. Lap-band surgery is this Thursday at 1pm and I would ask all friends and loved ones for your prayers. Also pray for my Zambian babies since there has been flooding as well as an outbreak of HIV and other dieases taking the lives of the babies! I will catch ya later and you are always in my heart. love cj aka momma

Todays thoughts

Can it really be July 30th 2008 already? Am I really gonna have lap band surgery? Can Davy be 29 years old this Friday, what happened to my baby??? Can I get any more into the Twilight saga, duh????? Two more days and my final book will be in and I am afraid it won't end the way I want. Although, I am not too sure at this point how I want it to end. Why is it soooooooooo cloudy and humid and it's not raining? I wonder if the mailman forgot our house today? Boo is at 6 Flags and I miss her so much my arms ache! Am I really gonna pay $40 to have my entire house cleaned before surgery? Can I be more bored than I am right now? I am going to go work on a baby quilt for Miss Lanie Elizabeth before she finishes high school.LOL!!!! I am going to also call my mom, read my email and make my bed [maybe, after all it is 3pm]. I wonder what my life will be like after surgery? Wonder where cowboy is right at this moment? Well, that's just 2 minutes of thinking and I am tired so till next time. hugs and love momma aka cj aka nannie

July???????

Where has the time gone?????? Oh yes, I was in the hospital again and again and.....oh well you get the picture! I am now in physical thearpy for my right foot an ankle and will have a very important surgery August 7th. I am having a Lap Band procedure and have excepted the fact that for me this is the tool I need to help me reach a goal. I am nervous, I hate hospitals, needles, surgery.....ect! I am praying and believing that all will go well and in 1yr. I will look and feel and be healthier than I have been in years!!!!! All the kiddos were here on the 4th of July and we had a great time other than the fact that cowboys brother passed away on the 3rd of July. His funeral was on the 5th so it was good all the family was together. I just wanted to write an update so let me finish with Lanie Elizabeth is growing and is healthy and now 1 & 1/2 months old. Miss Ella Grace is 14 months old and refuses to walk [but we don't put her down enough to let her learn] LOL!!!! Jaxon is 3 and potty trained. Jalen is 6 and 1/2 and in level 4 swimming class, still loves sleepovers with nannie and going to be a first grader this year. Cowboy is working on his 39th year with THE Phone Co. and Sept. 3 will be our 37th anniversary. I love him more today than I did at 17 when I fist saw him. NO ONE WILL EVER CONVINVCE ME THAT THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT!!!!!![or, that God didn't send him to me!]!!!!! Love momma aka cj shout out to Ali and Katie bug
