Gah!!!! I lost my whole post!!!!!

And now I need to get ready to leave!

I will be back, to try and remember what I posted to everyone ... wah!
 
Was in the middle of my post and my laptop shut down. The battery doesn't work anymore and the plug got disconnected from the laptop...immediately goes dead. Ugh....

But today is Wednesday and I'll hold onto that. Now I don't have time for personals so I'll just say have a good day and I'll be back tonight!
 
Good Morning!!

I have nothing today!! :(

I guess I feel so yuck!! cramps, weak....you would think if I had to go through all the Meno symptoms, I could actually be in menopause and STOP having the regular CRAP!! DOUBLE TROUBLE for me!! I did get back on my medicine ... Lexapro....technically given for depression, but does help with hot flashes and night sweats...so those have calmed down a lot...and the mood swings too!

WEll..I will be back in a bit for personals....Gotta feed a baby when she gets here in about five minutes!

(((HUGS)))
 
Back super quick-

Oh Linda S! I feel your pain- I had my whole blabbery post written out and then the screen switches back- argh!

Since I only have a few minutes before we have to leave....
the mtg for Scott went ok- they have some additional ideas to help him and so did we. He is showing improvement slowly and not so steady but in the right direction. Gym- sooo happy that we requested the switch- he is doing 1000000000000000 times better in the new class.
TY all for your thoughts, prayers and advice!
XOXOXO

Linda W- so sorry that your cramps are so bad :( Bu thappy to hear that the F-W Salve is helping- have you tried evening primrose oil supplements? I have heard that is helpful too.

Andrea- good to hear that the fever is gone- and hoping that the girls stay good. Hope Atha gets off the hook fast! The Wiggles- LOL Caitlyn liked them way back before they were even known in the US. A friend from NZ sent her a video way back when.

Clara- I hope that today you are happy!! Don't make me sing Ren and Stimpy again ROTF!
And I am keeping the world by me until you smile!! Ahahahahh!!!!!!

Sally-- don't forget your oxygen! Love you sweetie- and I lurve that smiling face!!!

Gotta go.........

Love to you all-
 
Ok...so since I never watch the local news, I did not know about this until yesterday...and some of you may have seen this on the National News...

Prayers are needed for one of our own local families. Their daughter has gone missing since Saturday. She is a junior at VA Tech, and Saturday she went with friends to a Metallica concert in Charlottesville at UVA...before the concert started, she told her friends she needed to go outside and she would be back....she never came back...her purse and cell phone were found outside and she was the one who drove there and her car was still in the parking lot...Please pray for this family.

thanks girls!
 
Good morning to my lovely O-fam!

Chris-I'm so glad to hear there's some improvement for Scott! Yippee about gym!!!

LindaW-((((((hugs)))))) sorry for your pain :( I hope it's not too bad for you today with the babysitting and all!

I've got to go back and read the last few days, I did last night, but that was last night LOL and since I barely slept at all I can't remember what I read!

Love and hugs to everyone!

***** warning, don't read on if you want to stay in a good mood LOL*****

Ok, I'm irritated, I just called **again** the # to check the status of my unemployment check, and as usual it has not been issued. I can claim the next on Monday yet I haven't even got the first. I have been out of work for almost a whole month with no $$...and yet I'm supposed to drive around putting in applications. My gas tank is less than 1/4 full. I called the local office last wk and the lady said that it's being held up due to my previous employer not having made a decision yet. I can't imagine what decision there is to make, I already checked and missing work due to illness is not grounds to deny benefits as long as you followed the company procedure to reporting not coming in. I am soooo blooming ticked. Ok, now I'm getting a headache LOL. I need to head over to the gratitude challenge which I have been neglecting due to my frustrated, restless mind. I'm not sleeping, well...I've been going to bed around 12:30-1:30 at night and sleeping an hr or so then back up...then I sleep for a couple of hrs in the morning. I know it's the stress of all of this. I mean, I have a car payment to make...I think I'll send the bill to my former employer LOL.

DH and I will make it on just his income, it's going to be very tight but we can do it, thank goodness. He just can't help me on the car right now because we just had property taxes and 6 months worth of car insurance to pay. All at once LOL. Luckily he had the house and his bike payment a few months ahead, shew.

Oh, and get this, my 401k can't even help(not that it's that much), there's a clause that if terminated you can't get your funds until the beginning of the next plan yr. argh. When I found out I was fired I thought...ok...I can get my 401k (lose 1/3 of it to taxes, ugh) and at least pay a few months on my car and put the rest in savings. But nooooo . But maybe that's a good thing...maybe by the first of the yr we won't need it and it can roll over into DH's or if I have a job into a new one.

DH and I have been trying to save (well, he has with *his* money), but something always comes up...tires...med bills...new dryer...my laptop & camera(necessities LOL)...we know how you need to have 6 months income saved up just in case....but did we do it? NO and boy do I regret that.

BUT, through my irritation I am HAPPY now :). I do not miss evil boss lady at all. I have even realized I don't miss the patients that much. I am enjoying my time off immensely. And God will provide. We have food, a roof over our heads, and electricity, internet(YAY).

Soooo, my negativity is why I haven't been coming to the dailies. I hate to vent at my O-fam :(. But I didn't want y'all to think I was just snubbing you either. ok...enough babbling.

OMGosh! That's horrible! My prayers are with them. Keep us updated!
 
Hey everybody! I was feeling so much better yesterday that I skipped Nyquil last night and that was a mistake. I coughed all night and barely slept so I'm le pooped today. Blah. But one bright spot is my new yummy birthday cake body spray and shower gel!! You guys, it smells SOOOOO GOOOOOOOOD! Chris, thanks so much for the little soaps for the girls too! Although Genny decided hers was candy and started crying when I wouldn't let her eat it. LOL

Yikes I just realized I have to get ready to go pick Atha up. I always get mixed up on Wednesdays, they are her short day where she's only in school 1 hour and 50 minutes. Hopefully she was good today. She and her little cute boyfriend Matty have been getting in trouble together. She decides she doesn't want to clean up, and then he tries to protect her. It's actually adorable, and you guys should see them, I need to get a picture, they are SO cute! But anyway, Atha needs to stop leading this boy astray, I feel bad.

I'll try to make it back for personals later. Gosh, this girl gone missing! makes my hair stand up, I can only imagine. And Dawn! Yes, remember to trust God otherwise you'll drive yourself up a wall.

Okay, gotta scoot!
 
Good morning!!

What is going on with my O-fam this morning? Computer issues? cramps? unemployment issues? Ugh? Not cool!! The day needs to right itself right this moment! POOF!!! All better. Okay, so I am home too. Addie has a fever. Do I know how hot? Of course not. I can't find a stinking thermometer that works and I can never find a glass thermometer anywhere and they all take stupid batteries. Lame!! So in a few minutes we are off to the store to get one. I tell you though you would never know this little girl is sick. She is being so energetic and silly. She is bouncing all over the bed. She slept good though. That makes me happy. Dh was supposed to call me and let me know if he was going to come home halfway through the day but i haven't heard from him. It isn't a big deal and I talked to him half asleep so I'm not really sure how the conversation went so i'm trying not to judge it. So, that is my day. So today we are watching Little Einsteins. I love the Little Einsteins. They are so cute and mixing travel and music is awesome.

So it is time for some personals...

Chris - I am happy. I promise. Happy! Happy! Happy! You do not get to keep the world lady...we'll brawl. :) Sorry your computer was being lame. I hate it when it does that. I'm glad Scott is doing better and his Gym class is improving. Is he not elligible to get out of gym altogether? It seems like his doctors should be able to excuse him from gym as a graduation requirement.

LindaW - That sucks having to do Meno and monthlies at the same time. Not fair. That in between stuff sounds just horrible. I hope it passes quickly. My mom and neighbor are dealing with the same crap. They are hating life when dealing with it too. I know they feel better when they cycle than when they don't though. I hope your day goes okay.

LindaS - time for a new battery. How annoying. I hope that was a little annoyance and not the way the rest of your day went. How has the return to real life been going?

Dawn - That sucks about unemployment. I think you need to move to WA. Unemployment doesn't work like that here. To not get unemployment because of your employer here is a really big deal here. You have to basically commit a crime at work to not get unemployment here. People try not to fire people because your unemployment rates go up as an employer. That really sucks and isn't right. I hope it all gets sorted out quickly. Can you call your employer's HR department and see what the hold up is? That really is infuriating. Because I am so used to how it is here that just angers me. Here employees pay into it also so it is a right as an employee not a welfare system so that would make me even madder. Lame. I hope it gets all worked out soon. Will you get paid back to the date you applied? I hope so.

Well ladies I am out of here. Off to get some more tylenol and a thermometer. Ciao.
 
Andrea - I missed you. Take your nyquil silly. especially on those last couple of days of sickness. those are the days you need that awesome sleep the most. so live and learn i guess. That sounds so cute about Atha and the little boy. Hopefully she stops getting him in trouble. Addie had her little best friend in school too but she kept biting her and actually got kicked out of her class over it. Isn't it crazy the things they do? Crazy kids.

I forgot what Linda had written about that girl going missing. That is so scary. I really hope they find her. I can't even imagine the panic of her friends and family and the despair they must be feeling right now. And with all the crime shows on tv giving everybody horrible visions of what could have happened. It is just horrible. I'll be praying for her.
 
Chris....so happy the meeting went well yesterday....and I could not count all the zeros in that number, but sounds like his gym class is around a JILLION times better...YAY!! I have never tried primrose oil, but heaven knows I have tried most everything...been burdened with this since I was 13...

LindaS....okay...I was shy of coming in here today after you and chris lost your posts....did want to catch it!! hope your day was fab!!

Dawn...Hey there...glad to see you back in here!! you know that no one minds you venting here!! ((((HUGS)))) I am really sending POSTIVE vibes to you for your $$ situation...I hope the unemployment comes through...stinks about the 401K...It's Your Money...what's the deal with that crap!!?? Good for DH getting ahead on the bills!! I am glad you are finding the positives here too!! and I will say it again...the umemployment agrees with your scrapping!! More ((((HUGS)))):p
 
Andrea....don't forget your nyquil tonight dear!! I wish you could get rid of this junk!! You seem to have had it for quite a while. Okay so this is not good that you little one is already getting in trouble with a BOY!! YIKES....Grade school trouble now, oh no...what will it be in HS?? and poor Genny wanting to eat the soap!! Feel better quickly dear!! (((HUGS)))

CLARA...thanks for the "bewitched" nose twitch making our problems go away!! ((((HUGS)))) for Addie!! it stinks when the little ones are sick!! I like the Little Einstiens too...cool rocketship flying aroudn to BACH!! very good mix of Learning tools for children!! "tap tap tap" I hear them in my head now!!! Seriously Clara....WA has an awesome unemployment laws...it's just like Dawn's here in VA....That's it...PACK IT UP GIRLS...WE ARE ALL MOVING IN WITH CLARA!!!:p
 
Oh Dawn, I'm so sorry to hear about the unemployment fiasco. Praying that it gets straightened out soon.

Chris, so glad to hear that the meeting went well.

Linda W, hope the meds help.

Clara, I agree about the dumb batteries for the fever thermometers...seriously don't understand why they run down so quickly!

Andrea, I hope that you take your Nyquil tonight...and get a good night's sleep.
