I will start us up this morning and say HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to run for now though....I need to leave in a few to go get Mr. Jesse!!!

Hope everyone has a wonderful day today!!

:hug:
 
Morning Nana! Have a great day!

NOt sure what I will accomplish today- need to shut this down and get something done.
 
Hi ladies!! How is everyone. I am feeling slightly better mentally today- the sun is shining and we are supposed to get to 60*. It is going to be a muddy mess, but I plan to get outside today and work in the yard. Y'all know how that makes me happy! :nod:

I cannot believe our break is almost over. I really got nothing accomplished, I feel even more out of the loop than normal.

Do you ever feel kind of "outside yourself?" Like you just aren't in tune with the rest of the world? That is how I have been feeling. I haven't wanted to be online, just feel like I have nothing to say. I have been quiet with all of my freinds IRL for the same reason. I haven't wanted to scrap- I am hating all of the pages I have done. Physically, I am tired of being sick. :( I want to feel good again. Sometimes I can 'fool myself" into thinking that its just typical fatigue. Then I realize that I have a fricking disease.One that is going to take a long time to beat. Gary may never get better. The dr asked the other day if he was having any mental deterioration, that the long term lyme that he has can cause early Alzheimer's. That's the stuff that makes me remember that this is real, its serious, and it might not be curable in his case.

That gets to me, gets into my "being," makes me very depressed/angry. I did a LO yesterday for CT work and I journaled (*gasps* Yes, really I journaled!!) talking about al lof the things Lyme has taken from me. I'll link you all up when I am able to post it.

Hopefully today, I will coat myself in about 3 inches of Tick Spray, get out in the fresh air and work out the crap zinging around in my head.

Thanks for "listening." Sometimes I can't talk to anyone else about this- obviously, its hard to me to talk to Gary about it.

but I'll survive. I always do. There isn't another option, right? ;)
 
I wish i could go back in the last week and get personals out to everyone, but I am going to start with yesterday.:D

Hi Kristy! That isn't much of a break is it? We probably should have had a day or two taken off our break but there were too many conflicts. We'll be going to school until July at the rate we are going. Actually our last day is going to be June 28 unless something changes.

Katrina! Good to see you again. We you in NJ up by me at all? Western Passaic county. Lots of horses way up by me, then lots down in central and South as well. Not too much in the middle, where I grew up.
I sold most of my paper stuff too- the girl was a new Kdg teacher and she was so thrilled ot have the stuff forher class. I kept allof my actual paper, the kids and I use that all of the time for cards/projects etc. But stickers, alphas, stamps, punches-- all gone. Your kids are young, so I would keep what you think they will use and sell the rest.
When will you hear more about your horse Good luck!!

Suzy :rofl: This is our week off- I was up late yesterday!! Normally, I get up at 5am, the kids get up at 5:15, out the door around 6:40 and the bust gets them between 6:47-6:50. Yes it is still dark outside at that time for much of the school year.

Clara- Your sis is getting married in 4 months? That is good for you, I bet. Less time for drama, although it sounds like it is going to be very concentrated in that time. Deep breaths, and tell yourself in the grand scheme of things, it is all good! Or channel Sally for a bit. Not me, don't channel me, I would be of no help LOL Good luck w/ the diet. I always found that if I had a goal to work toward, i would do so much better.

Hi Sally!!!xoxo

Trudy- did your sun stick around a bit? Hope so!! Ii wish spring would get here and *stay* Drs appt's went OK. The treatment of late stage Lyme is sadly very slow and a lot of 1 step fwd, 2 steps back. Which is kind of where all three of us are. Slight improvement in some areas, no improvement in others and worse in some ways for Gary ans Scott. Its hard to stay positive sometimes. Thanks for asking!

Laurie- heehee!! I loved hearing last year when you would go and mow. Makes me happy to know you are back out there. Makes spring "official"


To everyone, xoxoxoxoxoxo!!!
 
Trudy: I never knew you could get your eyebrows tinted. That's fascinating! I would be afraid of the dye getting in my eyes.

Clara: Good luck with your diet! You can do it! Just pass the candy on to the kids! I seriously believe that the amount of what you eat matters more than WHAT you eat. Don't cut all of your favorites out or you will have a much harder time sticking to it. That is so exciting that your sister is getting married. I have been told that I get to be maid of Honor when my sis finally ties the knot. Aw. Her and I were never close. We get along fine, we are just complete polar opposites and 10 years apart. She turns 21 next month!!! What do I get her????? My cousin (who has become her surrogate sister :( ) wants me to go in on a hotel room. Uh huh. I don't agree with that and neither does Matt. They will still have to drive there. The whole reason for it is so that no one drives drunk. Kind of defeats the purpose.

Chris: Have fun in your yard! We finally have sun again! I'm waiting till the flowers open so I know what's weeds and what's not!
 
Oh boy. So I have started a new hobby yesterday. Not sure how long this will last. I decided to decorate Easter hats for my dd and I. Then I thought, what if I decorated more and sold them to ladies at church and use the profits to go toward the youth group?! How fun! I also made a very cute flower hair clip. Super easy and fun to do. I found tons of ideas on Etsy. I will make what they call fascinators, but make them on clips instead of using elastic bands that go around your head. Much more comfortable IMO. So maybe I will start an Etsy store? Does anyone know if that costs anything?
 
ok helena started her first day of school today...she pushed me out the door!!! def bittersweet right there...its good she is gonna adjust well....but sad that she doesn't need me LOL
 
I am back for a few minutes....

Kids are playing very quietly at the moment!! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH...good or bad???

Well.....

Yesterday was my parents 55th wedding anniversary!! WOOOOHOOOO!!! Wow they are such an inspiration!!!! They are like young love birds at times still!!! They went on a little overnight trip yesterday

quiet over........Savannah is torturing me now....crap...she keeps grabbing the mouse while I type and the page is going everywhere!!!

Be back in a few minutes..it's almost nap time!!
 
Good Morning all... Yikes today is my 55th birthday oh boy, where did the time go??? I don't like this, I want to be 25 again!!! I feel like I have one foot in the :rip:, LOL. Ohhh the drama :drama:. No really I don't feel that much different than I did 10 years ago. (just keep telling yourself that Trudy) My friend at work was so nice to me and scheduled me off of work for my birthday... I love her!! The sun is shining and I hope to get out for a walk soon. There is new snow on top of the mountains so it must have been a pretty cool night last night. Hubby is taking me out to dinner and my brother and sister in law are coming to visit me this afternoon. They just arrived back from Australia and I am anxious to hear all about their visit!!

Laurie - Hope you make it back home to enjoy the sunshine at least for a while today!!

Chris - My dear friend, I wish that I could say something to get you out of your funk today!! But you are allowed to have some time to be out of the loop, I think that its all part of the process. The Drs. used to tell me to let my daughter know that it was ok to be mad and depressed once in a while it just has to happen as long as you don't stay that way. Perhaps getting outside will help, you need to get back to the garden and get your hands dirty, that is what makes you happy right?? Who would think that such a small little tick would make everyone so very sick?? Sending healing, loving thoughts your way today sweetie :hug:

Nana Linda - Sounds like your little Savannah wants to learn how to use the computer or just wants her Nana's complete attention :grin:. Congrats on your parents 55th wedding anniversary!! My mom and dad made it to their 60th, such an inspiration!!

Katrina - I never thought about getting the dye in my eyes!! Actually you are lying down and they use this tiny little brush, so not much chance of getting anything in your eyes. It turns out so nice, the perfect color for me and then she shapes them too. Your new hobby sounds fun!

Clara - Good luck with the diet, weight watchers always worked for me, but its portion sizes that I have the most trouble with. The GI diet is fantastic too I think I dropped 10 pounds in just over 10 days with that one.

Kristy - so sad when the little ones don't need you anymore, but exciting for her to be starting her new school.

Have a fabulous day everyone!! :wave:
 
Hey ladies!!

Today I am carless. I'm good with it. I don't need to go anywhere that costs money or encourages me to spend any. Ugh!! Spent too much lately with my trip to Costco and stuff. I really need to find Derek a airplane ticket today but I don't want to. It is depressing. So expensive. I am so glad i already have mine. I need to call Delta and see if I can use some vouchers we have but my guess is that they will only let me use 1 of them. Grrrrr!! Maybe they have a decent military rate. We'll see.

So, I have a headache today...not fun. I got a referral for neurology so hopefully I'll be able to get them figured out. I didn't have a headache the whole time my mom was in town. That was nice. The medication I used to take worked well but I had to stop taking it because my feet were always falling asleep. No fun.

Okay, headache is making it hard to think so I will do some personals real quick...

Nana - how is that schedule going for you? I hope it is working out well. That is so cool about your parents anniversary. What great role models on love. My great-grandparents were married for 71 years when they died and for their 70th anniversary they were interviewed by a local paper and they asked my grandma if she had ever thought of divorce and her answer was "I have never thought of divorce, but murder has crossed my mind once in awhile." It was kinda funny.

Laurie - I hope you get to enjoy your sunshine and you get whatever you want to get accomplished.

Chris - Hugs for you my soul sister!! I think you need something to look forward to. Since the illness is so unknown find something else o look forward to. A trip somewhere or a massage, or something that will make you feel good. Then once you do whatever it is...start planning something else. It can be something a year out even. start planning a warm weather trip for next February or something. I am planning on going somewhere warm next February, thinking Mexico or Jamaica. I'll keep you posted on what we decide to do.

Katrina - why don't you give your sister some money for cab fare instead of for a hotel. But unless you are going to be there putting in on a hotel is not so fun. Those hats look fun. Good luck with that. I think Etsy takes a percentage. If you get signed up you'll be able to get it figured out.

Kristy - first days of school are so sad and exhilarating at the same time. I will be sending Addie to school next year for pre-K. AIM so excited now but when it happens I know I will be distressed about it.

Trudy - what a great birthday gift to get to see your family again. I hope you have a blast for your birthday and don't get to dramatic about the age. I got all worked up about 30 and then on my birthday I didn't care anymore. I hope it continues that way on all of my big 10-year birthdays. We'll see.

Okay, all done. Anyone else who shows up today...I hope you have a great day.
 
I finished mowing, we are grilling for dinner and I am getting ready to go out and weed and maybe plant some. It has been a gorgeous day- not too hot and not too cold. Just right- a goldilocks kind of day!
 
Oh and if you are the praying type- please pray for my coworker N and her husband B and their unborn baby. Specialty ultrasound showed many problems- the most serious of which was only 3 chambers in the heart- they are not in agreement with choice to go to term or not and could really use a miracle!
