Jamie, in your spare time start your book! You could be the next Erma Brombeck (is that right?)! Anyway, she had a way of telling such funny stories from ordinary stuff, too! You are WAY too funny! LOL! I love when you post because I know I'm in for a good laugh! Thank you, and thank Oma for me, too! She gives you great material! LOL! Anyway, thanks for the invite to stay the night at your house, but the plan right now is for us to leave REALLLLY early on Tues going and then back on Fri. We'll leave Louisville after taking the girls to school, so I thought we'd swing by and see you for a couple or three hours or so. Hey, IF you get a chance to get away, GO! We'll catch you later! I did get Mom changed to a $0 premium drug plan today. SLOWLY but surely, we're getting to the end of this mess. I've got to talk to Michael Smith to be sure Medicaid is paying for Dad---he was not there yesterday and when I called today he's gone to a meeting until Thurs!----before I can cancel his AARP. IF both of the new drug plans kick in as they're suppose to do, then the only hurdle will be paying Mom's bill! OMG! I can't believe it's that close to being all lined out! We'll see. Love you all, Jeanie

Jamie, you are hilarious!!  I laugh and laugh when I read your posts!  Too funny!!  Molli and I went to see Mom and Dad on Sunday.  They were in the cafeteria with no food as usual!  Dad was still very confused acting and mumbled a lot, but he did say  our names so he knew who we were.  Nikki told me that the UTI test had come back and that he did have one and that they would start him on antibiotics.  He definitely has not been himself, so maybe this will help.  I just feel really sorry for him.  It's got to be a long, boring life living there. Anyway, I will go and see them, but just not sure what days.  Everybody stay safe and well!  Love you, pat

Jamie you are so insane!! Your life truly is a zoo!! I guess Jeanie hasn't mention to you yet that we plan on stopping at your house on the Friday we're headed home but if you're going to be gone I guess that would be a NO!! Lol I'm driving up on Monday and were going to LNC and then headed to Louisville early as in 6:30 a.m. On Tuesday! Pat and Pam will you be able to pull a double next week since we won't get home till late on Friday and then I'll head home cause Leisa is cooking for my birthday that weekend which is early but works out better for all of us. Gee our lives are busy huh?? Jamie sorry you will miss the funeral. Frank's stepmom in Alaska died this past week and he nor his sister got to go. Frank is in school there in ElPaso until 9/27. Love to all, Judy

Somebody shoot me...please...if you love me or just merely like me, you'll shoot me and put me out of my misery!!  I've had Oma all day today, by myself...she started in on me as she was coming down the steps this morning...today, it's been how I keep my shades, the fact that I don't have any living room furniture (I've decided not to put any in there just so you'll be pissy!), the idea of putting leather in my sunroom (yea like I'd take decorating advice from a lady who has an oil painting of a spanish senorita on velvet and a clock from the 60's that looks like a giant sunburst that hasn't worked in 30+ years hanging on her wall!) and why I can't seem to find her her soap operas to watch...sorry, but I gave up my controlling stock to CBS and ever since that time they don't let me decide what's on TV!!  This is horribly sad, but Jerry's Aunt Pearl died on Sunday and the funeral is tomorrow...because of construction I can't go(oh happy day) and that means Jerry and Oma are going without me...they'll be gone ALL day...I'm  going to run around in my house naked and singing at the top of my lungs! Ok, not really, because I've got the workers here...but inside my head that's what I'll be doing!!  That just leaves Thursday and part of the day on Friday...I might make it!!    We went to McKenzie Tn today to check out a flea market Merchant outlet Mall...PITS and stopped at an antique mall in Paris..double PITS!!  I still like my Peddlers Mall here in Murray!!   Is Franklin kind of near Bowling Green?  The KY Arts and Crafts museum that we went to is downtown Louisville near the Bat Museum.  It was awesome, everything there made by KY artists.  We bought an original oil painting of 3 little boys fishing..so cute! They had brooms from Berea, pottery, ironworks, jewelry, hand loomed towels...I could have bought a small fortune for sure!!      Jeanie, do you and Judy want to come over and spend the night on the way to Ryan's?  Or if we're here, on the way back...or really even if we're not here...I can give you the code to the garage.  Just let me know!!  Ok,  I hear Oma puffing and huffing...that means "My show is over, come and find me something else or come here and let me tell you how much you suck..."     Love you all,   Jamie

Well now I'm a little confused cause I thought we were going over on Monday!! Lol if we aren't going till Tues I might wait and drive up Mon night rather than Sunday! yikes you're killing me with plan changes!! Lol I'll call tomorrow to confirm!! Poor Dad! That would be hard for him to be excited about seeing you but he sees you a LOT so be thankful for that! You are his one constant! Take care of that cold this week cause I do NOT want it!! Lol Love to all, Judy

Ok, Jamie, YOU always have the worst stuff!!! LOL! Kaye drives me nuts, BUT she's not visiting at my house for a week! Good grief! THAT is a nightmare!!!!!!!! You are SO funny though. I swear I laugh everytime I read one of your posts! Too funny! Bruce and I are going to Franklin, Ky, for the weekend. I think there was something about the KY Arts Museum on their 'things to do in the area' list. Maybe not. Is the new antique mall at Paris on the Murray side or the other end? There used to be a huge antiques/flea market store in a huge old barn just as you were coming into Paris from Murray. It has been closed for a couple of years at least! I LOVE looking! It's funny how many things you see you love, but you have to choose what you can bring home! Sounds like fun! I did go see Mom and Dad today. I have a horrible cold---I thought it was just sinus stuff, but I've kind of had chills today and just don't feel really good in general. I hated to even go to LNC, but I did. I took Mom two new sweatshirts and 2 pairs of sweatpants + some Oil of Olay for her face. I got Dad another two pairs of diabetic socks and am going to buy him another pair of jeans + some chocolate. He nearly made me cry today. When I first walked in he said "Well, Hi, I'm so glad to see you today!" and reached out to hug me. I nearly lost it. He's still pretty confused and didn't eat much lunch. They did start him on Cipro (sp?) today---twice a day for 10 days. Mom was about as always. They did start her appetite stimulus back, but she hadn't eaten much of her lunch. They told me Dad had eaten 1/2 a bologna sandwich for snack and that's why he probably wasn't too hungry. Anyway, they were ok. I went to their room to hang Mom's clothes, and I heard Dad yelling for me. Debbie brought him down there, and I tried talking to him. He seemed better just sitting there where I was. Bless their hearts. Right now I think I'm going to Ryan's on Tues---we'll need to leave by 7:00 if we do that. Fri we'll head home after we take the girls to school. Ok, I'm off to bed. I didn't sleep too well last night. My nose has poured BIG TIME! Hopefully by tomorrow I'll have it under control. I've had my head so stopped up since we were in NY that I hate to take something to dry the stuff up. It's nice to have it drain----seriously. LOL! Ok, Love you all, Jeanie

Jamie you crack me up!! I love getting on here and you've posted cause I know I'm going to laugh out loud! You never fail to deliver! I'm not coming to Jboro till Sunday late cause I'm riding with Jeanie to Ryan's to stay the week. She and I will go there on Monday morning before heading to Louisville. She told me that she'll go her usual days this week but will go early Friday (as in breakfast time) because she and Bruce are going away for the weekend. Pat since you told Jeanie about Dad's UTI I figure you were at LNC yesterday. How were they? Was dad confused again or maybe I should say still? Bless his heart! I'm so thankful Mom doesn't know enough about what's going on to be upset because she would be a big handful if she had a clue! Pam did Casey get to come home for the weekend? I noticed Cary had said that it was good to see him yesterday. I know you're ready for him to be home! Love to all, Judy
