Ok it's Monday madness! So far hubby has called me 5 times to tell me that his car is going to kill him...I keep telling him it's not the car, it's the driver who thinks he is driving in Cairo!!!:wacko: Why is it you let them go on the interstate automatically they think their last name is Andretti??????

I hope everyone is having a good start of their week. If this is any inkling of what is to come for me this week, all I can say is CALGON take me away!!!!!!:innocent:

Take care Jenell. (F)

I'm doing alright though the time change has confused me. I don't know why it's so confusing for me this time. I've been so confused about the time I have to keep looking at my cell phone to know the time and day. I stayed at my SIL last night and took care of her and watched the baby during the night. My SIL came down with the flu and was really sick and my brother was out of town. I also had to work and that was very tiresome. I don't know how parents do it with a baby crying during the night and then having to work during the day, especially single parents.

Speaking of SIL's my other one in Baltimore is having surgery tomorrow on her brain tumor. I don't know if they have to cut into her skull or not but it's behind her ear and it's benign and that's the extent of my knowledge. Dh will stay home with the two little girls. Other than that the time seems to be flying and he's really enjoying his rotation at the hospital. Work is really busy for me except last Sunday was a slow news day.

Good evening MENA

Hi Wonderful, I hope everything is ok.

I haven't posted on here in awhile, our visa has kinda been at a stand still until the beginning of December when Mohamed returns to Egypt. He's going to make Hajj this weekend and next week, and I've applied for a visa to visit him in Saudi Arabia, but who knows if I will get it, their laws are strange when it comes to women being alone. If I get the visa I may just travel back with him to Egypt and stay until either the interview or he gets his visa.

Olivia, sorry to hear about the distance between you and your husband....Liz, we have talked a lot today and all I can say is I'm sorry and hugsss (F)

Andrea, that is so funny about your husband driving :lol:

Hope everyone has a good night

Happy Hump Day MENA!

Jenell~big hugs to you girl! I hope you feel better and if you need someone to talk to, I'm here for you!(F)

Olivia~ your SIL is in my prayers for her surgery. I'm glad it's benign and operable. I hope your other SIl is feeling better!

Mandy~glad to hear from ya! Wow, I don't know if I would want to go to Saudi...Good luck with everything if you do!

Jeanne, Liz, Jackie~ hope you all are having a great week too!

Me, well apparently I have to go in for an EGD and colonoscopy tomorrow because of being a chronic anemic so my day consists of plenty of fluids and later that "special" drink that makes you want to sit in the bathroom for the rest of the day!!!:huh:

Ugh...it sucks to get old!!! :lol:

Have a great day everyone!!!

Good morning! Finally having some fall weather!

Morning Jeanne! I also found out that there's free meals at Chili's & Golden Coral. Hope you have a great day!

We are waiting to hear from the USDA loan for the house, everything else is complete down to the pending receipt of this loan. Closing is supposed to be Friday. Hopefully I hear the news today for the time on Friday. Its exciting and nerve racking at the same time dealing with buying a home.

Hey everyone, happy HUMP DAY!!!

Well they didn't approve my visa for Saudi Arabia, I'm feeling a little disappointed and also relieved. I was hoping to see him, but I was also a bit scared to go there especially since we're not married yet. I've heard some stories of women being there alone and some are not good. I guess I will just have to be patient and wait a few more weeks.

Andrea-sorry to hear about your procedure and date with the bathroom.

Hope everyone has a great day!!
