Just popping in to chat a bit and tell you all that I miss you. It has been so crazy this summer that I feel like I have had no time to even stop and do anything. TT calls often and I exchange text with Shooter and his wife Jody..talk on the phone to Blackwolfe..and deepwater and Haz hollers at me on occasion.. but dang it.. I miss cracking the whip at all of you.. 8)
Right now and for the next few weeks I am living back in my old house ( which I forgot how big it is to maintain) with my ex husband ( and still wonderful friend, Mark)
***And yes.. Marshal is the most tolerant, patient loving kind husband in the whole world*** :) Definetely a keeper.. and I believe I"ll do that!".. LOL
Mark has had a full knee replacement on his right leg..and I am here being what I call "Nurse Hatchett".. . so I am not home where I do actually have my big computer and kinda sorta keep an eye on you hooligans. I have my laptop , but am so busy I don't get a chance to get on it much. I haven't been on hardly at all since daddy died.. as I've been also busy with Mama and family and just what seems to be a plate that is piled high with things that have to be taken care of by me.
Now... Mark has had this first leg done.( has to have the other knee replaced as soon as he heals from this one.) :-\ but he keeps me hopping with therapy ( which I am doing all of it instead of us having to drive 90 miles to Wichita 4 times a week. ) and 4X a day exercise on his knee and up from bed and and down to bed and in the chair and out of the chair and cooking meals, and cleaning, and laundry.. and mowing this huge yard and still doing bookwork for 5 entity's.. ..etc.. ( have I whined enough that you feel a teeny bit sorry for me?? huh?? have I?) ;D
I am going to need a month vacation just to rest up when this is over..
Kjell is taking care of everything at our house ( which is just 4 blocks away) and is being a jewel. I could never find a more tolerant, patient and good man in the whole world ..and I publically thank him.. :-*
I DO get to go to Gunsite 3rd week of August and go through one of their 3 day training courses.. I'm nervous about it but excited to learn.
Anyway.. just wanted to let you know why I wasn't in here harassing you all ..Hopefully in a few months I will be back to some semblance of normalcy..( scratch that.. its a lie.. I will never be or do anything normal) ;D
but maybe I will be back in here on more of a "normal" basis...
and I'll try to pop in every now and then between all my slave hours.. ::) Now its time for me to get to bed. 2:00 is the next medication time and rotation of the knee.. Only takes about 10 minutes..but interrupted sleep every 3-4 hrs at night is hateful! (((Sorry.. more whining..))) :P ;D
Actually I have a wonderful outlook and generally I'm in good spirits with smiles.. and I don't mind doing all that I do at all. Just glad I am here and can do it. and just hope his knee heals perfect and he is without pain.
Have a good remaining summer everyone and BEHAVE in here!! ;D

but dang it.. I miss cracking the whip at all of you.. 8)
Thank you M'ette, may I have another! :o
*What gun are you gonna shoot at gunsite?

Missed you bunches! I guess we'll just have to cope until you get back.
God Bless,
Richard

We miss you around here... that's for sure. We DO tend to just send ourselves to the corner though, so you're still very effective at ridin' herd.
Your recent life-load has been heavy and it's admirable how you push ahead. We'll be here waiting.
-
Not to contradict Jay, but your lifeload is a gift from God - it is called a real life of helping, of service to Him and others. You continue to be a blessing for your family, and - whining aside ;D - a blessing and example to the rest of us as well.
-
God bless you Teresa, the last time I called you were at the hospital waiting for info for Mark, and as impeccable as my timing always is, they called you within 30 seconds of me calling you, so go's life, good luck to Mark on his recovery. He has a good therapist.
-
Quit yer whining and go get me a beer, woman!
;)
;D
-
all good nothing has changed ( yet )
hope all is well
ok fellas lets make the corner bigger... I have some ideas to renovate it starting with that new Fridge Tab is organising
-
Missed you around here. Hope everything finally settles down to "normal".
-
No apologies necessary Teresa...keep on keeping on!
God Bless..

But, ya wouldn't even recognize the corner since ya been gone... We already had the fridge and Jaccuzzi and the La-Z-Boy, but now we have a full service massage parlor and a gal that gives pedicures, and a nifty little grill (yeah, it's only gas, but it's still good for whipping up a burger). But things in the corner really improved when the Scotch-nozzle got installed.
Prolly ought to get back here before the Adjust-O-Matic King Size gets delivered. Ah'm jes sayin'
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Yeah, we missed you! And you are in our prayers asking for strength and patience--strength for what you're doing, and patience for the mess you'll find when you finally get back.

Thats so rude!
Tell her to get me one too, Haz ;D

I would be sitting here scratching my head in confusion over this if I hadn't dropped into the store last year. It is an amazing family you have, and you are all keepers! The way Mark talked about you, and what he did to help me get in touch with you was amazing for an "ex."
I have one more or your "little boys" to meet, and Tjell on a trip down there. I thought this might have been the weekend to give a call, but I'll let you pamper Mark and sneak off to the Marshal's office once you get the patient drugged ... I mean settled in ;)
Take care of yourself! God knows you are going above and beyond for everyone else, but we don't want to face the need for someone to nurse you.
Thanks for the update!
-
Amazing you are! Glad you stopped by for an update and to let us know your "NOT NORMAL" :o what a disappointment that would be... Hope Mark is on the mend and your good spirits continue, we do miss you!!
Big props to Marshal for holding down the fort, enjoy the peace and quiet. ;)

Obviously it's not "Gets the beer" cause I STILL don't have one! >:(
;D

They say "absence makes the heart grow fonder". It's obvious that we all miss you. I can only feel like I know you or at least kinda know you since I've only been around for a year. Thank you for the update and I wish you luck in completing your " Mother Teresa " type quest. I'm glad you are so busy these days as I think it is just what you need. My hat is off to Marshal for standing by you and showing the patience, love and understanding that I'm not sure many men could. Sounds like BOTH of you are keepers to me!
You need to get back soon. The construction on "the corner" never seems to end. That damn rabbit won't stop building. It will take up the whole street corner if we keep building like this. Now we have a HAZARITA MACHINE !! Now he's talking about a storm cellar / bunker complete with gun safes,water storage and a commercial generator? I remember when the remote control, cheese wiz and cold beer were the main concerns. ;D

Hurry back, we miss you! :)

While you're at it, put another log on the fire.
Just a question about that physical therapy and rotating the knee thing. Is it the right knee, left knee, or the wee knee?
Just needed an excuse to check out the new and expanded corner.
-
good for you Teresa, I won't say anything that will send me to the corner as I am leaving the country and won't be able to enjoy it. (gotta save those times for when I can spend the quality time there.)
miss ya,
deepwater

Certainly have missed you around here M'ette, especially the whip cracking :)

Missed you big time Marshal'ette.
Most of us have been pushing the envelope around here, and yes, we miss you "correcting us".
Stay well this summer, and prayers to you and your family.
The bar in the corner has an open tab for Marshall, he needs to swing by and check out all the new decor....We even watched HGTV, and got in touch with our feng shui, to keep the sun out of our eyes while shooting in the afternoon.. ;)

At least until mommy returns ;D

I mentioned about the wee-nee thing... Won't repeat what DR said.. hahaha
Things are still wild and hectic with me trying to multi task.. but I'm doing ok and keeping up. ( If I don't lose any weight inches when this is all over something is wrong.. :P
Had to get him to the chiropractor today. Sciatic went out.. and let me tell you.. that was intense..trying to do therapy on a leg that every time he lifted it.. it pulled the muscle and nerve in the low back and ass cheek.. I was up most of the night last night trying to help give him relief with ice.. pain pills .. moving him massage... hell I tried everything.
but after today and the adjustment.. he is like doing great.. walking great.. doing all the exercises great.. minimal pain in knee and hardly none now in the back..
by golly I think we might be on the upside of the ordeal after all.
""Nurse Hatchett Rulzs" hahaha
Thanks for all the love and hugs from afar...and ...............enjoy the corner.. cause when I get back??.........................Its going back the way it was.. the bare necessities and extra cuffs and chains on the walls.. I think I need to crack down more.

You've got your work cut out for you, M'Ette.....they made a pretty impressive corner fort out of all those empty beer cans and pizza boxes.... ;D

Chiropractors are vastly under rated.
It's amazing some of the pains they can cure with spinal adjustments.

M'ette,
We all miss your smiiling face and wry sense of humor. Take care of yourself. We will keep chipping away at the corner till you get back. by that time, we will have our own zip code and will be finishing the exteriior walls. :D
But the chains and cuffs will come in handy for our guests.... ;D
-
Cuffs and chains.
It is not a party until we break out the weedeater and the rubber chicken.
That will leave a mark.
