...my day.

It started off kinda rough.
I was sick this morning. :rolleyes:

Nothin' like being sick at your stomach when you have had major breast surgery. The surgeon had to cut deep into my chest muscles, and into my rib cage...well, you don't want the gorey details on that. Let's just say it was not a good day to be sick...and leave it at that.

Then, to make matters worse, Lola pooped on my head.
I'm sitting in the floor, Lola is on my shoulder, I'm thinking I might need to get back into the bathroom...
"Gotta poop!" she says.
I say..."Hold on".
She says, "YOU hold on! Gotta POOP!"
She jumps on my head and says, "I'm comin' right back!"
...then poops on my head!
...and comes back to my shoulder!

Oh, well.......

So, after I get up and get THAT taken care of, I sit down at the computer and open a PM from G-Mom.
There is a knock at the door...the mail-lady.
I get up and have her bring this huge box into the house because there's no way I can lift it...postage was, like, 16 bucks!
Heavy box!



It's from VANESSA!
I get a razor blade and start slicing it open...
The first thing I pull out is...WILLY!



Second thing was.....



...CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!!!

It was one awesome treat right after the other...



I did fine until I got to this...
.....then I started crying.


A big bowl of soup to make me better!

Thank you, Vanessa!

Awww Cindy,
That's great! I'm sorry you cried though.

Good Lord!
Are you guys trying to kill me???

Do NOT offer me these things!

The banana bread is great where it's at...in YOUR freezer!

If you go to the post office for something else, you can mail it if you want to, but PLEASE don't make a special trip!

The longer you take to mail it, the longer my stomach gets to straighten up so I can eat it!
So, it's fine in your freezer right now!
TRUST ME on that!

Cindy Sue

P.S......

I cry at the drop of a hat!
Keep forgetting to take those hormone pills regularly sinced the hysterectomy!

Cindy Mae

O.K. Cindy,
I'll hold up. Maybe in a couple more weeks you'll feel like having a feast and then I'll send it to you. In the meantime it gives me a chance to come up with some more ideas. I've got a baking day coming up again soon.
And besides, that's what you get for being so loved!!!

Well it was a good cry anyway so that's o.k. I'd cry too if someone sent me a box of goodies that I wasn't expecting to get...

Vanessa- you really did a great job on that package. KUDOS!!!

(We need a hugs greamlin!!)

hey cindy, do you like fudge? i can't even try to do as well as vanessa, but i do make killer fudge... want some when i come?

What a thoughtful package that Vanessa sent you...that was really sweet.....Sorry to hear that you were sick this morning--that's gotta hurt.......hugs.

*ouch* Cindy. That had to totally suck. What a wonderful package you got tho. I do hope you get to enjoy those chocolate chips soon tho! Mmmmmm. Looks very tasty. And I love your Wild Willy!

Meg

I hope you didn't already have that one! I was trying really hard to remember what the one you put Brennon's candy bar in looked like!
I just felt really helpless being so far away and not being able to help you my friend!
OMG...I didn't EVEN think about how heavy it was (and it was REAL heavy)and you not being able to lift...DUH....that's about as smart as hubby's brother coming up and patting him on the back...then sayiong "OH...I guess I shouldn't have done that with you just having back surgery...DUH...hubby was pretty green!
I just want you to get better and hopefully have a smile in between the OOWWIIEESS!!!!

AND...I kinda cracked up because the only box I had was the one the potty chair came in....I figured you would think you were getting a bedpan to help you out!

Oh Vanessa what a great care package you put together. Geez Cindy I am a lousy baker and I don't do candy...want me to send you some lentils or something (well it is what is grown here)?

You are definately in my thoughts and prayers.

Very nice package. That is so sweet.

Leslie

awww that's so sweet!!! hope you're feeling better soon cindy! I hate to say it but I had tears in my eyes because I was laughing so hard about Lola pooping on your head! I didn't mean to but I can just picture that! BAD LOLA! <img border="0" alt="[tongue]" title="" src="graemlins/tongue.gif" /> :p lol! and that's just hilarious vanessa about you using a potty chair box! oh well it's the only thing you had! :-)

awww what a kind a thoughtful person you are Vanessa.
Cindy I would like to send you something if that is ok with you. Its like Vanessa has said "You feel so helpless".
Can you PM me with your address?
Thank you. luv Lisaxx

Wow...what a lovely suprise! YOU ROCK, VANESSA Chocolate chip cookies....MMMMMM,Yummy!

G-Mom

I don't have your address either, Cindy, but I am sending you lots of prayers. You are in my thoughts throughout the day and I am wishing you a speedy healing and lots of rainbows. Take care of yourself and know that you are loved by all of us here.

Vanessa, somehow it doesn't surprise me that you sent her something so special. You are pretty special yourself!

Dianna

Yeah...I wasn't gonna mention the box, but since YOU brought it up...



Cindy Marie

If you ALL will remember...last summer I BEGGED everyone to PM me their home addresses so I could put them in my Garden Helper address book ...I love to send cards, boxes, surprises etc.....but guess what....only 3 people responded. SO...if you all want to be on my goodie list PM your address to me. I hate not having addresses especially around holidays. Don't you just love to get MAIL (not junk mail)there is something about going to the mailbox and having a surprise in there...makes the day special.
Afgrey...that garden angel will watch over your garden goodies while you can't.


"Vanessa, somehow it doesn't surprise me that you sent her something so special. You are pretty special yourself!"

Dianna...you made me BLUSH!!!! Thank you for that sweet thought!

I'm glad you had mine!

Vanessa...
The little angel is standing in my orchid pot.
I made the mistake of leaving it in a spot where the sun came thru the window directly on it, and burned one of the leaves.
She's got her work cut out for her here!

Cindy Bob

She can handle it!

Do you know what cracks me up, that Cindy, even from her sick bed generates so much fun and laughter. A real Trouper. Vanessa that was a lovely gesture on your part, be assured am sending my Address asap.

Doreen

Man, I have GOT to get my "Hormone Replacement Therapy" straightened out!

I got the sweetest card today from MissJamie!

I was walkin' back from the mailbox crying again!

You guys.........


Cindy

That's just cause we all LUV you Uncle Cindy Jo Faye Lu Bob Fred Marie JEZABELL!

Hey Cindy,
I've still got all my hormones and I still cry about everything...

Pack em up and send her some QUICK!!!!!

GLADLY!!!!!!

aww cindy I'm glad you liked it :-)

You're lucky!
Those things cost over 30 bucks for a one month's supply at the pharmacy!



Cindy Marie

Awsome care box!! Way to go!
Good job Vanessa!

Since Jiffymouse closed down the "News From Cindy" Bar and Grill I'll just pack up my things and move into this topic!

Cindy

Cindy,
Are you BAR HOPPIN'???

Well...let me take this opportunity to thank everyone for the VERY sweet compliments! I didn't feel like I did "enough" for my Cindy friend...we all agree she is VERY special! But, let me tell you...what goes around...comes around! I have had a pretty good bought with my fibro this week. Today I am sitting here looking out the window at my son (he's pretty cute!)that came in from Little Rock to catch my outside projects up that I started and could not get out to finish. He is working his rear off!!!! And his wife has taken over the birthday party (yep, we are having another one for the Peanut)preperations for this evening. I'm piddeling! (with a tear in my eye) I am VERY BLESSED!!!

Yes!
I hope I don't get a PWI (Posting While Intoxicated) violation!

Vanessa...
We ALMOST posted at the same time!

I'm sorry you don't feel too hot.
Maybe my next package will cheer you up!
It finally got mailed day before yesterday, so you should get it Monday. (Priority Mail freak that I am!)
It's the same one I mailed last week, :rolleyes: but (I think I told you this already...) I forgot to put your address on it when I stuck it out on the mailbox.
(Blame it on the drugs!)
Thank God I did have a return address label on it!
They sent it back to me!

Cindy

awwwwww that's so cool ms. cindy ^.^ see? ya got people that care about you and love you!

~Phoebe

Hey...I'll use any excuse I can use to get Darin to bring that grandbaby in...and get him to work too...now we're talkin doublie good!!!
I have a BIG tamale pie in the oven for them when they get finished...but now I'm sittin again!!!!
He is finishing moving the railroad ties to add on to the driveway...it's lookin real good!!!

I'm sorry too, Vanessa that you aren't feeling so good. Anybody with a heart like yours doesn't deserve to feel bad ever!!! Have a BETTER evening than your day has been!!!!

Oh, I am really okay...this is pretty normal fibro stuff! Just get real irritating when you can't "do" what you want to! I would MUCH rather be out in the yard sweatin than having to stay in here! It's just something I have to deal with everyday...same days are just better than others! But...it doesn't matter how I feel...when I have these kids & babies here it is ALWAYS a good day. It just scares Darin when he sees me loose weight ar swell up like a balloon and he comes runnin! That's pretty sweet...couldn't ask for more!

"I love you soooooooooo much!"
You made me tear up there Cindy Friend...the feeling is mutual!!! You are a WONDERFUL treasure to me! You & your sidekick (G~Mom) get me through the worst of days and most of the time don't even realize it! What a tag team you guys are!

Sniff,Sniff,wiping a tear

LUV YA!

G-Mom

*group hug*

A card isn't much Cindy.....Not for a friend who's in pain. Hope you are feeling better tonight.....

Wow, you guys are quite the bunch. Another good reason I found this place I guess. Everyone can use more friends and you all sure open your arms to all us newbies....and middlies (?)

O.K...
Here's the card that REALLY made me cry....

It's from my mommy, who is almost 70 years old.

Dear Cindy,
I love you so very much, and I feel so sad because you are hurting and feel so bad.

I pray that you will be much better very soon.

I love you -
Your Mom

Oh quit it....,you are killin' me here.Messages from Mom always mean so much.

Lord have mercy... Gee... These posts have been so touching...

Thank you all, I needed to read that, feel that.

And this is definitely one big family here. It is really amazing. EVERYONE is so supportive and caring.

Les...

How are you Shamrock???

Cindy hope your feeling better today. I don't remember seeing a post from you may have missed it. Get better still praying for you to be pain free (not Jack Daniels free) we miss having you keeping us straight. This toast is for you Cindy ( need a toasting gramlin here ) or as Frank Sinatra would say Post time.
Jimmy

I'm feeling better today...really.
(See...I lie so much I feel like I have to say "Really" even after I tell the truth!)

Shamrock came over and vacuumed for me today.
(I kinda get freaked when my floor gets dirty!)
Lola is a constant source of debris on the carpet, and last night the He!! Hound got in and rolled all over the floor before I could get him out.

So, I can relax now with a clean floor!

Cindy

I am so glad you have some help Cindy Friend...and even more happy to hear that you feel better today. I am praying that you will feel a little better each day!
The kids just pulled out to head home...darn, would have loved for them to stay longer! They worked their tails off around here this week-end (they were probably happy to be heading home!)I'm pooped and the forum will be down...so I'm looking at some R & R this evening! WHEW...I'm READY!!!!
