CHEERY O
:israel: I give uuuuup!!!! I surrender!!!!!!!!:drama:


WTH is wrong with me?? I can't seem to string two thoughts together coherently. I can't seem to get myself from one place to the next without utter confusion. Not to sound totally over-dramatic, but jeez, I am starting to worry about myself. I will just find myself sitting and staring, at what? No clue! Thinking about what? Again, no clue..... Even when I am driving, I fog out. Not terribly, but just "disconnected," if that makes sense.

I guess I am just tired?

Our Glitch if the Day yesterday was no hot water. We call the furnace compnay and it turns out we ran out of oil. They are set up to automatically deliver it every month or so, but this past time, they either missed a scheduling or there is something wrong with our oil tank. They are coming back today to deliver the oil and we'll see what's up with that. Thankfully, the repairman was able to get up 4 gallons of oil, just enough to take a super quick shower. (Thank goodness for the little things!!!!!!)

Off to work today (yay, money!!!!!!!) then I am going to pick up Scott's GF and then hit the warehouse to get some frozen pizzas for dinner. The kids are having a small party for the end of summer and I am going to have a house full of teens.
Hey nana! You want to switch houses tonight? You can have the teens and I'll take the little ones? LOL

Finish It Friday:
I have a sink full of dishes I couldn't wash yesterday...... I have to find my brain cells, and then I will proceed to drown them in VODKA!!!!!!!!
(Sounds like a plan, :madgrin: :amen:)
 
Hi Chris,

or you could be in some sort of breakdown ... it tends to have this sort of effect ... I hope it's "only" tiredness ... (((hugs))) my friend. Take care of yourself for me will you ? ;)
hope the waterheating works ok from now on !

TGIF TGIF TGIF !!!!!!
Bad news is : my boss comes back from holiday on monday ...
so we (my two best colleagues and myself) went to have lunch in a small restaurant today to celebrate our last day of freedom LOL

everyone have a nice friday
xoxo
 
Since I am in such a funk, I am going to run a few gratitude through my head.... and then I am going to re-read this article on Tammy Duckworth.
I know we stay away from politics here, but I am not posting this as a political story but as a HERO!! Read a bit about her and you will be blown away...... When I get my pity party going, I have got to sit and read this again and again. I saw this online yesterday and was close to tears.

http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2012/08/tammy-duckworth-versus-joe-walsh-congress

So I am grateful for:
Strong people to inspire me, to help me stay in some sort of perspective
For wolves!!! (shameless plug on my photos https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151095959932770.457134.534572769&type=1)
For my mom who loves me so much
For getting to see Christopher tomorrow!
For a roof over my head, for the earth under my feet, for food in my fridge, and for my family in my heart
 
Hi Marie!!!!! ((((hugs)))) Enjoy your Freedom Lunch. Maybe your boss will come back rejuvenated and happy?
I hope so.

Nana- how was your visit with your parents? The kids are settling into the school routine ok?

Oh Eva, that is sooooo aggravating and crummy. How is John taking it all? Is he wanting to go back? I know Scott would be conflicted- wanting to go back with friends and at the same time happy to not be in physical school. We had to pull scott out of school for most og 8th grade for him becasue of the Lyme Disease, and it is hard to keep everyone on the same page. Hope you had fun ironing and didn;t use it to murder the school psychologists. ;)

Laurie-- calming vibes sent to all involved with the takeover. You seem to be one of the most health conscious people I know and I am sure that the dr will see that too.

:laser:
That's for your boss Trudy.
:rant: What a :censored:

Hi jen!! Can I borrow some of that "Happy"??

Eva-- yup, he is more like how I feel too.....

Phyllis- :laser: to the people waking you up!! grrrrr! Hope your day got better as it went along.
Eva- :jaw:
Not TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Love to all of you!!!!!

DO YOU KNOW HOW FAMILIAR THIS SOUNDS TO ME?????????????????????????? IT'S CALLED MEN---------O----------PAUSE!!!! (well all that "pre" crap) I am serious Chris....I have done this many many many times....even the driving...I can be going somewhere....just completely zone out....then realize where exactly I am, and do not even remember driving to that point!!! WTH???? but it's true...and very common!!!! So next time...zone on out...drive all the way to VA...and then we can be mental cases together!! :becky:
 
Yep...Mike says I have lost all of my brain cells....but he ain't no better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and since he doesn't have the same excuse...what the hell is his problem....HE DOES IT TOO!!! :pound:

I think Friday is my least fave day now.....that means the yellow bus won't be here tomorrow :Cry: :rofl:


I am going to clean all day today...Mike is going to the leased land to drop off his "house" (he has been working on this hunting "blind", that is more like a small house, for months now) and we need the trailer next week to clean out our storage building we are paying $71 a month for...AACKKK need to get rid of that!!! He loaded up that thing on the trailer this past weekend and he doesn't want to take it back off until he gets it down there...don't blame him...I helped him put it on there and it's big and very heavy!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need to take a picture before he leaves...


anyway...I better run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
sheesh .... I didn't think menopause could do that .... I think I might just enjoy my next PMS episode !!!
 
:pound: Marie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEVER EVER did I enjoy any PMS...bad news is...you still get that too among all the NEW SYMPTOMS!! BLEH!!!! Getting old is HELL!!
 
OK. i suggest we leave ALL the kids of ALL ages with husbands and ALL of us meet at a bar by Chris' house. and STAY there until Monday morning.

Nana, S.O.S.!!! do NOT try to clean your entire house today or you will be totally knocked on your A#$. that's what happened to me yesterday, and my tendons are STILL screaming.

Chris, i pretty much experience the same stuff, so i can't blame it on menopause, i think, since i never really went THROUGH menopause. i think it's just what happens to the female brain after a while. our brains have to be filled with so MANY things, large and small, that eventually, it just says STOP. I SURRENDER. I NEED TO SHUT DOWN OCCASIONALLY!!! :closed_2: i find myself doing that zoning thing when i'm driving, too, which is troubling. i keep worrying that i'm going to be LOOKING at a red light but it doesn't get through to the brain and muscles. ha! here's what i did the other day. zoning while at the self-check-out at the supermarket. i started emptying my cart and bypassing the UPC read thing, just putting the stuff right into bags. of course, bells and whistles went off and the SWAT Team appeared. when they saw it was me, they just laughed. see what you have to look forward to??? a sense of humor is KEY to being a woman. particularly an aged one like me....:der:

Marie, the aging stuff never stops. the hits just keep on comin'!!

hubby is home today. still trying to use up some of his vacation time so he doesn't lose it. he knows the program: STAY OUT FROM UNDER MY FEET!!! :yell: i have to think of something to get ME out of the house for a bit. i have a few more rooms to tackle with my vacuum and duster. i'm going to take it a little easier than yesterday.

Excellent Friday to ya!

Hi all...

Just had to stop in today as I was over the moon with Anna's new kit. Do you know that has my name on it??? Well I asked her for an Italian one and man that woman is fast! :clap2: Now I just need to have another trip to Italy...right?

Sadly, I have found that I just can't handle two forums on a regular basis but come fall...it IS coming, isn't it???? I'll try to get back some more. I've mostly scrapped my Project Life and a backlog of trips.

Hugs and gooood wishes to all of you! If we're above ground we have a chance at a good day, menopaused-->aged brains and all! :wink:
 
Morning ladies... include me in these plans too please!! Perhaps we could all conspire a plan to get rid of my boss and Marie's boss too!! I like Chris's laser gun method!! :laser:
Well TGIF! I can't wait for the weekend to arrive! Only 12 more shifts and my MG will be on his leave time with the RCMP, he starts his new job on October 1st and then officially will be retired from the police force at the end of January. He sure timed that right, because his last day with the RCMP will be the same date he started with them 35 years ago. Does that make sense?? Anyway we are taking a trip before he starts his new job and are thinking of driving down the Oregon coast and just doing whatever we like. Perhaps a trip to Disney, or perhaps we will hit Vegas then the Grand Canyon, who knows, but first we are going to watch the Dallas Cowboys play in Seattle, MG's been wanting to do this forever!! So vacation will start on Sept 15th and I don't have to be back at work until the 3rd of October. Hopefully I will either have a new job or things will be better at my present job, we will see.

Chris - Glad that you will be making some $$ today! and yes I have the same symptoms as you, I think it is part menopause and part just getting older and having too much going on in our heads. When I start to get fuzzy I try to get out for a long walk and it seems to clear my head a bit. But the vodka or meeting at the bar sounds great too!!

Marie- I think we need to sit down and draw up a plan to get rid of our bosses!! LOL

Linda - I think our hubbys go through a type of MAN-O-Pause too, mine is starting to lose his mind and I can't believe some of the things he says these days?? Its like he can no longer comprehend anything I say to him!! I'm sure all he hears is Blah,Blah,Blah,Blah!!! then he puts in his own version of what I said. Really is that what you think I just told you??? :noidea: Sorry that the big yellow bus is not coming to your place tomorrow, but hopefully you enjoy this last day of freedom this week!!

Phylis - You crack me up!! :pound: I wish I could have been at the store with you!! Hope your hubby knows whats good for him and stays out of your hair!! I know exactly how you feel!! Find something fun to do today!!

Well I don't start work until 12:00 today so I will try to get a nice long walk in this morning. Hope everyone has a great Friday!! :wave:
 
OH Trudy!!!! what a wonderful trip!! I know you are going to have so much fun...I just wish you were coming on the EAST side!!!! :Cry: I would have to find the way to meet up with you!!!

:pound: no sweetie.....this is a well practiced trait they all have!!! somewhere in the man's handbook of "HOW TO BE MARRIED" that rule is pretty close to the top!!! :rofl:




:wave: Maureen!!! Good to see you sweetie!!!!!
 
NUTS to the cleaning, Nana. :rofl:

Trudy, WHAT A TRIP!!! WAHH!! i want to go someplace far away in my car. i can feel winter weather approaching....

hi, Maureen! as good an excuse as any to head off for Italy again!
 
Phylis - LOL LOL LOL LOL My mom did something like that lately, only it was worse : she chose some pretty paper napkins in the shop where she wanted to bag a large item too. In the end she didn't find thel arge item so she just got out. Then when she came to her car she realised she had not paid for the napkins so she went back inside to pay. And then there was this huge queue so she decided WTH and just left the shop again, with the unpaid napkins ... :suspicious: ... which she gave me last time she and dad came for a visit LOL (lovely napkins BTW ;) )

Trudy - I have a few choice plans for my boss ... :heh:

Maureen - hi there :tea:
 
sorry i've been a horrible member...things just aren't going great this week....at the beginning of the week my sister told me her best friend was not responding to any treatments and she was in what they called "locked in syndrome" paralyzed entirely except for her eyes...shes had a few strokes...and was pretty much bleeding out....they didnt know what her mental state was...but this morning she passed away :( they still do not know what exactly was wrong with her in the first place (she is the one i made those 2 pages of)
 
Oh, I'm so sorry for your and your sisters loss. (((HUGS)))

Puts my problems in perspective. I like hate everyone today, but at least we are alive!
 
Kristy, what terrible news. and to not KNOW what caused this! my sympathy to all of you who knew her. this is so sad.
 
Kristy......I am so very very sorry sweetie!!! Lots of hugs and prayers going out for you and your sister and the girl's family!!!! I can only imagine how they are dealing with this and not knowing.
