To the girls who know me- Hi sweeties! I've missed you all and thank you Brooke for the invite to your wonderful site. It looks great!

Unfortunately, my health makes it so I'm not able to be online much if at all anymore. So please don't take offense if a question, email, or PM goes unanswered for weeks or even a month. It's not because of you.

Hello to everyone and it's very nice to see you.

Hugz,
Da Otha Jo

[MomOfHeathens]

Thank you all for the welcome. I remember all of you btw. ;)

So many of you have had babies since I last "saw" you- Erika (I didn't know you had the baby yet I don't think...congrats!!!), Beka (FOUR? You're nuts girl! lol. Love the names!), Kristin (A little girl huh? congrats too), and Tamika I love that siggy pic of yours. They are getting so big!

MrsStevieT/Kristen~ I remember you hun, thank you for the welcome. I'm sorry we never had much chance to get to know each other. Then again, I was a baaaddddd girl back then and might have gotten you in trouble. LMAO

Jo~ Do you have three kids now? I must have missed an announcement somewhere if so. Congrats hun. I promise that the times I'm able to be around that I will behave myself. lol. I'm too d@mn sick and tired to cause any trouble these days. ;)

Brooke~ I was shocked to say the least. I'm glad I was finally able to check my myspace thingie.... I'm one of those who has one just because all the cool kids were doing it. hehe

To everyone else~ it's good to "see" you and I remember every one of you which is a HUGE feat just so you know because I have fibro fog most days and pain pill fog the others and can't even keep the kids' names straight! *snort*

[Emily]

Is it really you?!? Thought I smelled a heiffa!! Nice to see you around!!

[MomOfHeathens]

Is it really you?!? Thought I smelled a heiffa!! Nice to see you around!!

*sniff sniff* I thought I smelled biotch! :p lol Hey girlie! I'm afraid today is the end of my being around for a little bit. I'm at the beginning of a SOB of a fibro flare up which usually knocks me back for around a week. :(

Hopefully I can catch up with you soon though (I know you sent me a message on myspace that I still need to answer too. I'm sorry.). Still love ya muches.
