TexasMom,

Man oh man, I'm so troubled to hear about all your

fiasco. You need to get rested and get well girl!!!

It doesn't help your morale any to know that you can't

breathe properly. I hope you get well enough to do

your breathing and that will make you feel tons

better. You hang in there. We will all be praying

for you!

Loving Lifelift

Texas Mom!

I am so sorry that this is all happening to you. I will definitely pray for you and I will do a few breaths in your honor too!

I got my workout in today. I got my #2 tape done this morning at 7:00! Since I have started school with the kids I am now having to get up at 7:00 to get my workout in. I am NOT a morning person, so this is saying a lot.

I sure hope you are back with us full tilt soon.

Texas Mom,

I'm so sorry about everything you are going through. I'll pray that

you recover fully and quickly from this. We all hope that you will

be back to posting here again soon. In the meantime, be as good as

you can to yourself and lean on others during this difficult time.
