CHEERY O
sheesh! I can't believe how quickly this month is going, more than half way through.

Did all of you get a chance to meet our newest O-Designer? If you didn't Please Welcome our Newest Designer.....! Dido Designs. Her gallery is amazing and her designs... wow. What a great addition to the shop :).
I hope that any of her CT that pops in this thread says hi as well- we are so glad to have her talented CT too.


Yesterday I cleaned all three bathrooms. Mine wasn't too bad but the kids and Gary's tubs- I really need to stop ignoring what i don't see. ;)

Then Scott's ped appt-- aside from Lyme, he is healthy. I just hate how dr's make me feel like I am a bad parent. I got the "If he doesn't do his homework, take his cell phone away" lecture. I tried that and you know what? With him, it made things worse. The day before I got the "eye rolling" when I had to update their medications at the dentist, the whole, really? Lyme isn't that bad up here attitude. For a dentist I usually try to just list one abx and leave it at that, but the kids started listing all of the crap they are on which lead the dr to come out to me to question me about their Lyme treatment. I get it-- its "controversial' in mainstream medical but do you really think I'd be giving my kids boatloads of meds if I didn't have the blood work to prove it?? Gah!!

meh. maybe I am super-sensitive to it after the DYFS fiasco 2 years ago. (I had a dr threaten me that he would get DYFS, child protective services, involved if I didn't take Scott for a second opinion by a dr he approved)

Anyway-- dr's appt last week, 3 this week-- it adds up in my psyche, making me more psychotic I suppose.

Temptation on Thursday--
I want to go back to bed. Damn, I am exhausted this morning. but I gotta clean today, small house thankfully. Tomorrow is the biggest one.

::grouphug and :tea:
 
Morning Chris {{{HUGS}}}} to you. I slept in, till 5:15- well half an hour later than normal. I am enjoying coffee and soon will hit the treadmill. Love having a day off, wish I was not filled with errands- again. I was bemoaning not being able to stay home when talking with my husband, and realized next week I am out and about again- he has asked me to attend a work luncheon with him. It will be with mostly Amish, and the wives are invited, so I should enjoy myself. I love experiencing different cultures. I may stop and buy myself the unique hickory rocker I saw when I was shopping over that way several weeks ago- it was made for a short person like me! Okay- back to making my todo list for today!
 
i think I cught up with most of you yesterday, with a few exceptions.

Kristy- good man, Karl!!

Maureen-- I am proud of you. Its a difficult line to take responsibility of what is "yours" and what to let go and not be guilty over. I hope that your DD comes to realize in time what more she can have and be in life.
Did your DS make it home ok?

Phyllis- I went to college in central PA for three years (Lock Haven) and my roomies hated driving with me and one of them despised coming to NJ to visit me at home, that the drivers are all rude and insane. To think, I am one of the more Zen drivers in the state too.
Did you make it to a museum at all? And good for you on the shirts. Your time is worth much more than $20, esp if its not appreciated. Hope that your days are looking up- sending hugs to ya.
Or a baseball bat.
You choose which ever one you prefer.

:D

J- oh my dear one...... I hope that you were able to sleep and are feeling better this morning. *gentle hugs*

xoxo!!
 
Morning O peoples!

I agree Chris where has the week gone? I have enjoyed the gallery filling up with Dido Designs! Big hugs to you and all that is on your plate to deal with, Chris.

Laurie enjoy your day off and enjoy that rocker. Bet it is beautiful! And good for you and the exercise plan. I belong to an exercise facilty here called 'Girlfriends' and have met a number of other ladies who keep me motivated to keep my exercise routine. Chatting and exercising are a perfect mix.

Off to get a cut and color today and run some errands.
Enjoy your Thursday all.
Donna
 
Slipping in really quick to say good morning. This time tomorrow, I'm in the air! Can you tell I'm excited?!!!
 
Laurie, is there aything better than a chair that FITS!!! i'm short, too, and i feel like most furniture is made for a race of giants.

Chris., honestly. what a stressor Doctors can be. i think they don't get what one of their Prime Directives is: dont freak out the patient and remember that they're human beings. wait until you hit about 55. some of them begin talking to you like you're senile and 100 years old. loud voices with that "cutsie" manner some people adopt toward children. and calling you "young lady," with a wink and a stupid grin.

i remember someone telling me once that there are a TON of mosquitos in Lock Haven. is that true? that's a part of the state i never get to.

Maureen. i don't know how you deal so well with uncertainty. it's about killing me. i hope the fact that she "heard" the psychiatrist might be the begnning of the way back. i wrote a terse email at midnight to my heartbreaker. never a good idea. did you end up having to drive into D.C. to get your son?

Donna, you're reminding me that i need to call for a haircut. the hairdo i'm sporting at the moment bears no resemblance to anything that anyone would want to have on purpose....

today i'm going to do a not-so-fun-but-necessary thing. gonna sit down and spell out for my husband what i'd like in terms of care (if i should become incapacitated) and...you know...stuff like that. i worry that men are generally so clueless when something happens to their wives that he's going to be...well...CLUELESS when things happen.

well. THAT's a cheery little to-do list for Thursday! whatever. it's life.

hope your Thursday chunk of life is a great one.

Truly Phylis- you must post spew alerts- do you know how difficult it is to get oatmeal off your screen???????:laugh:

Actually- I needed a laugh, it is grey here today. MMG did not get me flowers for vday which is fine- we just bought more dance lessons so that was our gift. However he did not even tell me happy vday, or send me an email- he was away and I did send him a digital card I made. So then this am's call he tells me he was up sick in the night- great coming home sick again, so I can avoid you all weekend. Whine, Whine,Whine. Okay- done- off to have a marvelous day and buy myself flowers for every room (aldi's) if they have any- after the dentist!
 
very excited about Dido!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! loving the designs!!!!!!

today is gonna be an awesome day!! i am getting my elliptical machine today!!!!!!! very excited about that!!!

not so happy about my movie that i ordered and its not supposed to get here til the 18th when they originally told me the 15th....boooooooooooo.....might have to complain about that this is the LONGEST amazon has ever taken to ship just a movie to me!!!

umm what else...

Chris...ugh i HATE cleaning bathrooms....i dont even touch the main bathroom anymore....someone else can....and i make my kids clean the small one downstairs....and i just clean MY bathroom in my room...although most of the mess is from hubby lol...also i try to NOT listen to dr's parenting advice...lmao...or really any advice in general they have....cause i will raise my kids the way I want to....not the way anyone else including a dr thinks they should be raised lol

Laurie...woohoo for an extra half hour!! awesome!! i wish i had an extra 30mins to sleep LOL....have fun on the treadmill!

Donna...ohh fun cut and color!!! i need to get back in to get my hair cut again!!

good luck with that conversation Phylis me and my husband have already talked about things like that....we do need to get in writing that his parents get the kids if something should happen to the both of us...we both agree his family would be much better to take the kids.....i love my family but yeah....
 
Morning all...


Just a short hello before I go off for my mammogram. That will be my exercise today. Stretching those twins!

Iain did make it home after a great day in DC. He took 204 photos most of which I'd gladly snag! My daughter 'unfriended' me on FB which is her right and I know that it may be best for her to keep her distance and have a chance at being an adult. It was funny in a weird way though.

Well the machine calls...so I'll come back and finally do some personals.
 
good luck this morning Maureen!!!!

i wish i still had all my pictures from DC :/ we went when Raianna was just a baby....and i lost the camera/film to everything!! i was so upset about that....we will get out there again at least....seeing as his parents live about 30mins from DC lol
 
Morning ladies... :rain: here today. Off to work again, but it's Thursday and the work week is almost over. Its my beautiful daughters 30th birthday today and I am sad that I can't be with her to spend the day together! :hurt:

Chris - Hope your cleaning goes quickly!! I hate doing the bathrooms, but I hate a dirty bathroom too, so it gets done. Don't you just hate when the drs get all high and mighty!! I once helped my daughter find a dr. in the new town where she is now living and this one that we went to was very religious and told us up front that he encourages his patients to live as he does....ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? He was very upset that my daughter was living in sin!!! And basically told me that I was not a very good mother??? Hello!!! I nursed my daughter back to health for over 10yrs after her encephalitis, I am not a bad mother!! :sorry: I will step down from my pedestal now. Whew!! Anyway you get my drift, I think you are an amazing mom with all that you are going through with this Lyme stuff, you should get a medal, not criticism from some high and mighty dr.!! Needless to say we found a much better female dr.

Donna - Hope your hair cut and color turn out great!! I love getting my hair done!

LindaS - Do you have your bags all packed?? So excited for you :bounce:

Phylis - I love you!! You always make me laugh in the morning!! Hope you get your not so fun list done. You are right it is a part of life that just has to be dealt with.

Laurie - More dance lessons? You and hubby are going to be pros!! Buying flowers for every room?? You house is going to smell like heaven!! Hope you enjoy your day off and don't have to spend all of it doing errands!

Kristy - You will love your new elliptical machine!! My daughter has one and she uses it everyday! Its the only exercise she gets as she can't keep her balance to do yoga or anything like that. Hope your movie arrives soon!

Maureen - Don't stretch those twins out too much OUCH!! Sorry you are still having issues with your daughter, but you know that you are a wonderful person and you have your head on straight and know that what she is going through is not your fault. You are such a strong person!! :hug:
 
Well mammogram looked good from the quick look so that's done for a year. Tomorrow a pedicure which is a lot more fun.


Chris, that must be so hard to deal with the doctors, dentists etc who wonder what is going on with your family. Even the best of them have gaps in their knowledge base. Hang in there! and know you're doing what you need to do for the chicks.

Laurie, glad you are still on the exercise bandwagon. My son walked about 6 miles in DC yesterday. Maybe I can claim some of that! I just went to the Amish market this am but it was for food not furniture.

Donna, I seriously envy your exercise group. I really should start something at my local gym. There are enough women my age who might enjoy the company. Cut & color…do you change your color or stick to one?

Linda, I'll be joining you after a few days in LA! have a great time!

Phylis, this is a description of borderline - People with Borderline Personality Disorder experience such violent and frightening mood swings that they often fear for their sanity. They can be euphoric one moment, despairing and depressed the next. They show symptoms such as: a shaky sense of identity; sudden violent outbursts; oversensitivity to real or imagined rejection; brief, turbulent love affairs; frequent periods of intense depression; eating disorders, drug abuse, and other self-destructive tendencies; an irrational fear of abandonment and an inability to be alone.

We have seen it all and more--arrests, rapes, homelessness, pregnancies, abortions, legal adoptions, non-binding adoption, suicide attempts etc
This is why when we heard she had cancer and thought she might die, it seemed that at least she would no longer have a life filled with this kind of crap. But with the prospect of being cured of the cancer to go on to more years of such a life, well…that's what is so hard for me to accept. But who knows what the future will bring much less tomorrow???

I do agree….midnight emails are not often the best idea. Best to print our, read in the am, and then decide on whether to send or trash. It gets it out of us at least. Hugs girlfriend.

Kristy, I wish I had room for a treadmill/eliptical but it might just be a source of guilt for me too… I'll seriously have to make some pages of his photos they're so nice.

Trudy, wish your daughter a Happy Birthday from me too! It's raining here too but that's just to make my PNW son feel like he's back home. ;-) Your weekend is coming soon…Hang on!


Talk to y'all tomorrow!
 
Just stopping in to say hi! It's been a terrible day - I have pain in my right ear, son's not feeling well (mentally) - Life sucks in general today.

Good thing: it's almost midnight, so the the day is over. Going to go down and sleep on the sofa tonight - fall asleep to 90210. Tomorrow is Friday - I hope it will be better.

(did I make everyone depressed now? Sorry!)
