good news day it's turning out to be!!!!!

I couldn't be happier to read such wonderful news about Franni - go Franni!!!!!!!

I have been soooo very busy. I thought I'd have a whole week off work just catching up on all the stuff I enjoy - computer, board, outzing, grands,e tc etc but it wasn't to be. thank goodness I wasn't working as I don't think I would have been able to fit it in!!!

the best news for me is that my DD, who lives in Windsor, surprised me with a visit!!! She arrived Tuesday and will be here till Saturday. What a blessing to see her - it was exactly what I needed to perk me up :):)

I've been busy with forms and emails regarding stuff for my mother. As she's lived in 3 countries, the amount of red tape is amazing!! I'm getting there but it's driving me a little wild!!!

We're also gettting things ready for an auction and the boxes of stuff have to be to the auctioneer by tomorrow. We brought home tons of stuff belonging to my mom and step dad, most that was earmarked for my kids - her grands. All the stuff no-one really wants, though, is being sold ... what a task.

My DD #1 is about ready to deliver - the dr said any minute and that she's not to go far from home, etc etc. - exciting but nerve wracking, this being on call!! We're hoping for today or tomorrow so her sister will be here - so far, she's shown up for all of her sisters' new births so we're hoping her luck (influence) holds.

And, in the midst of it all - I had food poisoning and was miserable over Tuesday night and part of yesterday... "oh what a night" doesn't begin to describe it. My own fault - Tuesday supper was leftover night and somehow a meal that had been sitting there too long got in the "buffet". thankfully, I was the only one who ate any.

That's it for now. I'm going to try and go read some posts while everyone is still sleeping!!!!

Hugs from JJ - the northern ladybug who STILL has snow to contend with!!!!!

Wow, you are a busy one. I do hope the baby comes this week so you can be with your DDs and the new baby.

You may keep the snow, thank you. I wanted snow all winter and didn't get any. Now I am satisfied to watch things get green. Kathey

I never saw a post like that from you before. It is obvious daughter is in town. Such positive thoughts to help you over the rough spots/ So glad she is there with you. Certainly h ave missed you.

Too bad you weren't at chat last night. What a hoot. Kt was trying to teach us how to do the cents and degree signs. Of course, there were some of us, who just couldn't do it. Kt kept encouraging us to no avail. Really hysterical. I finally said she was doing it to make us look like idiots. lololol Seems to do with the system one signs on with.

How can you be positive about food poisoning? lol So glad you sound happy.

It tires me just hearing all you are doing on your time away from work. I am glad this new baby is almost here. Hope all goes well. A spring and an Easter baby, how joyful.

Oh, JJ, this has been such a time of turmoil for you! I pray it is all finished soon! What an awful time to develope food poisoning (as if there is ever a good one!)! Hope you are all over it now.

But my, what a wonderful surprise to have your Windsor DD show up this way....let's pray her timing is right for DD#1 too!

Do take care of yourself....

Not my fault you guys are using JavaLite instead of iChat!!! But I should have known that it wouldn't accept ASCII code when it won't accept HTML!! It was so-o-o funny!

Good morning to you JJ. Well, my goodness sounds like you have your hands full. Great news about both DD's. How awful about the food poisoning. Extra hugs for all the hard work you have to do re Mother. I know how difficult this is for you. (((((HUGS))))).

Yes, it is great news about our Frannie. Have a good day with DD around. Love Lynda
