    Since you PROMISED, I will happily go into work after missing 3 days last week and waking up at 3am (again) with a smile on my face and joy in my heart!

    (Of course if I do that, I will have 3 simultaneous Code Blues in my office from my coworkers, and I only have one AED!)

    Have a great day! First day of the rest of your life, yada yada yada…)

    I didn’t say it wouldn’t have moments that suck. I know things aren’t easy for you right now. I’ve eaten a few crap sandwiches lately and have moments of doubt, too. But what I said is not just positive, happy talk. It’s an inner belief that with every bit of bad news comes a bit of good news. And many of us, you included, are due.

  3. parrotmom says:

    Good morning to all of you. Thanks for the “thought for the day” Marshall. Prayers for all that are in need. Clucky good luck on your day at work. Coop, prayers for the loss of a loved one that meant so much.

    Happy Monday no matter how it hurts.

    Mornin. Big ol froggy eyes this morning. Sad over the loss of a mentor. But got a lot to do so I’ve got to get going.

    Thanks PM. How’s PD?

    Marshall, I’m going to take your words and run with them. Let’s make this the best week EVER!! (Oh, and tell HLG that I’m still sore, but every time I move and hurt, I’ll remember what a good time I had with him Saturday!)

    Mawnin’ y’all. The boys are up and out playing. Actually they are attempting to go with PQ on her morning walk.

    We’re going to McComb this afternoon to visit with PQ’s Dad since we didn’t get to do so yesterday.

    Hope everybody has a good, good day.

  6. parrotmom says:

    PD is doing well no therapy over the weekend so back at the grind for him too this morning!!!! We both had a bad night sleeping due to an elderly patient that hollered most of the night, they said he was confused and was trying to get him somthing to calm him down. He had been known for hollering during the day you would have thought they would have had something in his chart for times like this.

    Oh well, I worked Saturday and Sunday at the office so I feel I had no weekend at all thankfully both PD’s children called him yesterday and the Parrot sent him a card and flowers for Father’s day.

    OB you all have a safe and fun trip to McComb.

    I will do my part to make this the best week ever :)

    Good morning everybody. I had a grand time last Saturday. Thanks for the memories and MML or was it your momma? Thanks for the two plants. They are on my front porch steps to remind me of both of your smiles as well as little bug.

    Marshall. I love you man! Thanks for giving me the chance to recharge my batteries. Everybody needs to spend 24 hours by water at least once a month.

    When CardinalSon and I left we got just passed all those pretty crepe myrtle bushes and Jon says, “I forgot my minnow basket.” We turned around and headed back. I hit something in the road and asked Jon what that was, he didn’t know. As we turned down the street in the camp ground I heard a clicking sound coming from the back tire, “What was that?” I asked. “I hope it will stay up on the way home.” wruump wruuump wruump. The back tire went flat. Thankfully it wasn’t one of my brand new ones. There was a piece of rebar in it. Jon wasn’t a happy boy. But I told him at least it went flat in the camp grounds and we were able to pull over and get it changed and go wash off before we got back on the road again an hour later. Made it home okay after that.

      glad that you like the plants sorry about the tire but glad that you and CL Son made it home okay.

  8. cardinallady says:

    Okay, one more thought …

    As my daddy struggled to his feet yesterday afternoon to hug me before I left his house, I felt the years in his hug. I fought back the gathering tears, knowing that there wouldn’t be too many more fathers days to hug him. I felt my mom’s eyes on me. She knew what I was feeling in that instant and I knew in that instant that she was missing her own dad immensely, wishing she could hug him. I bravely swallowed my tears and said a quick goodbye to them, then walked out on the dusty path of life, pausing a moment to listen to the cottonwood tree whisper sweet memories of days gone by with daddy and wishing all us girls could be giggling on the hill once more.

    morning gang!
    everyone have a great day!

  10. Clucky says:

    Awake since 3am after 4 hours of sleep=feels like I just had a handful of sand thrown in my eyes. My body is scoffing at the Mt Dew and Adderall this morning. I can go to lunch at 11 and grab a nap. Just tryin’ to hold my eyes open til then. I like getting up early-as in 5am after going to bed at 9pm.

    I got a lot done before everyone got here. I think I am caught up but for a single sheet of paper that elludes me. I hate it when that happens!

  11. Airwolf says:

    Morning folks. I hope everyone is having a great day. It’s nice, sunny and hot in Florida!

  12. The Real JB says:

    Morning all my good friends…tank. I hope of you have a great day. Our Father’s day service ended abruptly when one of my lady’s had a pretty massive seizure mid sermon. Ambulance came. Thank God we got the offering taken up beforehand. Just kidding.

    I was so proud of my daughter Saturday for doing so well with the 5K.

    • Crystalbutterfly says:

      hope that the lady is ok—we had something like that happen at church–one of the men went to the bathroom before church and was in there a long time so his wife asked one of the men to check on him and he had had a heart attack and died at the church but God knew that he would want it that way he loved going to church we just had prayer for the family and went home that day.

      congrats to your daughter!!

    • cardinallady says:

      Congrats to your daughter JB.

      How is the lady?

  13. Crystalbutterfly says:

    where is everybody did I run them off

    • cardinallady says:

      Crystal, the morning has been BUSY. BTW I thought about you yesterday. I had my girls make their dad’s book markers for their father’s day presents. I cut out the sencils that came in the construction paper. A couple of them chose to use the butterfly and it reminded me of you.

      • The Real JB says:

        Yeah you ran me off.

        CL…lady got out of hospital this morning.

        On a side note…while the lady was having the seizure an elderly man who was a guest from out of state started hollering, “It’s the devil”

      • Crystalbutterfly says:

        that’s sweet I am glad that somebody thought of me

  14. The Real JB says:

    Maybe we can have us one of them sayances and the ghost of Tank will appear

  15. Mrs. H says:

    Wow! JB. exciting service.

    We are at camp and all 11 girls are in my room right now because the other room wasn’t ready yet. It’s rather noisy!!!

  16. msblondie says:

    IT is RAINING in West Jackson

  17. OldBopper says:

    Back from McComb. Everybody’s doing fine. Like Cardinal, don’t know how many more “Fathers Days” we will have with PQ’s Dad. Last time I was down there he told me he was going down fast. He is, but he’s still a lot of man…..just weaker and slower. Couldn’t ask for a better FIL.

  18. cardinallady says:

    Blues, persactly where are you located these days? I’m sure you said once upon a time but my memory can’t remember that story right now.

  19. parrotmom says:

    PD said it rained good up around County Line and Ridgewood Rd.

    Clucky good talking to you today.

    PD told me they tightened the tension on his workout machines. Nothing comes easy :)

  20. dhcoop says:

    Evenin!

  21. dhcoop says:

    Trying to sprinkle here in Podunk, but not succeeding.

  22. dhcoop says:

    Just talked to Bug for the last time before she heads to Europe on her vacation. Praying she has a good and safe trip.

  23. Barb says:

    Evening!! Rough day at work today…lots to do and short a front cashier. Nothing like trying to be 2 or 3 people all at once!! I may be big enough to be 2 or 3 people, but I have gotten to old for this!! Okay…through venting.

  24. parrotmom says:

    Barb sorry for the rough day. I hate it when more than two are off—-that is one reason why I put extra hours in on Saturday and Sunday.

    Coop, congrats to Bug, not many have that kind of chance to travel.

    I hope AnnO and family are doing well.

  25. Clucky says:

    We fantasize about going overseas. We have set a goal to go to NYC for Thanksgiving just after Chicklette’s 16th birthday. Maybe we can save enough in 4 years to make the trip! Little stinker is back on the Beach.Pensacola this time. I hope the weather is nice for them in the morning-Blue Angels do their practices at 830 on Tuesday and Wednesday this week!

    I’ve been up since 3 this morning. Now I am awake still..darn steroids.

  26. Legal Eagle says:

    I got invited to play with the Monday night bridge group tonight and while I was outside at 5:30 p.m. waiting to be picked up, thunder boomed overhead but not a drop of rain has fallen yet.

    I came home and finished the last few pages of “Wicked Lies” by Lisa Jackson and her sister, Nancy Bush. And I forgot to mention that right before that I read James Patterson’s “Toys.”

  27. Mrs. H says:

    My cohort and I went to the WalMart in Ft. Walton Beach after the worship service tonight to get breakfast stuff for the kids. When we came out to load the stuff in our white church van, we noticed that there were 15 other white church vans in the parking lot at 10:30 on Monday night. That right there tells you that there’s a youth camp in the neighborhood.

    Good night, friends.

  28. Barb says:

    Morning!

    Legal, I read both authors. They are two of my favorites.
