Happy Tuesday my O-Fam!
I have good news, and a small vent session. Let's see, rant first, them leave happy :)

(feel free to skip over this as always....i just need a little self-pity party ATM :violin:)

I wish Gary would get better-- like NOW!! I cannot stand it when he has these horrible moods swings. I can deal with the sleeping all day. Used to that. But the crabby moods are horrible!! They put me in a crabby mood and then I have to bite my tongue because fighting back with someone who is unreasonable is only more unreasonable but DAMN I want to unload on occasion. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :hurt:

*deep cleansing breath*

Good news!!! Scott texted me his report yesterday-- all B's and a C+!!!!!!!!! Totally happy happy happy for him!!!!! And his C+ was a 79. He was one point away from Honor Roll. Wow!!!! I was so proud of him! I emailed his Lyme dr. I knew that he would be really happy for Scott too. It is so amazing to see him feeling better, being happier, and great grades! If it were not for his lyme dr, I doubt that he'd be in such a good spot. I am so thankful for his dr, its been a really long road (almost 5 years long) but to see the improvement, and how far Scott has come.... priceless!!!!!

Tip on Tuesday:
always thank your O-Fam for being there, listening to the rants and the good news and everything in between!

Thank you and love you all!!!!
 
Laurie-- sounds like a fab way to start the vaca- with a camera (for me, hubby is optional LOL)

Phyllis- I do that. I ask them several nights a week at dinner-- get me recipes and I'll cook them. They never do it. And I absolutely don't make more than one meal. If they don't like what I am cooking-- they can make a bowl of Ramen or PB&J.
The crappy thing is the actual decision making. I don't like food for the most part. Recovering anorexic. Gary used to be very easy to cook for. I used to joke that I could cover a piece of cardboard in sauce and he'd be happy. Now between his nausea and diabetes, he has gotten pickier. Then add in my 2 kids being stubborn. I don't mind cooking if people are going to enjoy what I am cooking, But to spend and hour or so on my feet at the end of the day for them to make a PB&J or say my sugar is too high and I can't eat-- makes me nuts.

Not to mention-- I am 100% Italian-- you cook food to make people happy,to mend broken hearts and to solve world peace-- not to make it worse! :rofl:

But all of your advice is well taken, I really do try to take myself out of stressful situations with the fam as much as I can. But when Gary gets "unreasonable" I have to stick myself in there to act as a buffer. Its really hard and a really fine line and I never know if I am doing it right.

Yum, homemade bread!!!!!!! What kind do you make? I am lazy and have a bread machine to do it for me. Maybe I'll make some tonight. Or an apple pie. Got the stuff to make that too.

Trudy- again, I am so sorry for your loss. How hard on your and YMG too. Much love to you and peace and good thoughts to your brother.
Bread gives you heartburn?? That is awful!! I probably could live on bread and cheese and water (coffee) if I had too. :p


Nancy!!! That is hysterical!!!!!!! Bad boys!!! LOL I love that feeling too- laughing so hard your stomach hurts. Even better when it is with your family!! Happy b-day to your DS too:party:

Eva- It looks like pound cake to me :D

P- I could take it as cheese too. Rutabaga- I don't think I ever had one of them. Not sure I want too! LOL

Hi Sally!!! Oh, to be a fly on the wall at your house with the games on.... :D Enjoy the day!

Whoops! late!!


xoxoxo!!!!!!!
 
Morning O fam- Chris I hear you on your rant. When my husband is in a lousy mood- it is hard not to join him. I keep thinking when I get up and see this thread started, that Chris must be up early- then Oh I slept late. Loving that about vacation.
 
wow. i slept from 11 until 6! what's HAPPENING to me??? whatever it is, i hope i get MORE of it....

Chris, sorry to hear about Gary and his moods. i don't know how you keep from screaming in everone's face. why is it always OUR job to keep the peace? do you think he would do better psychologically if he got up off the couch and did something? even if it was something small. he seems to have totally given over to his illnesses. but then that would be something else you'd have to try to be helping other people do. and you already have enough jobs. it's a good thing for them that you're a LOT nicer than i am. your family should worship you like a god, my dear. :angel:

i have a fun/strange mission today. i have to go into the city to our art museum and try to find out whether they have in storage any paintings by a French artist who used to live on the estate that my son's inlaws now own. the inlaws are trying to get together an exhibition of this guy's paintings in France. they have discovered that one of the paintings might be here in my city. so, i have to find someone to talk to, try to explain the situation in a way that doesn't make me seem like a crazy Bag Lady off the street, try to find out if the painting is there and then get some contact info for a museum person in power for the inlaws. can i just say that IRL i don't look like a person who would have such relatives. they'll probably throw me out of the place....:ohwell:

ok. off to shower and get dressed like someone who should be talking about French painters....


Happy Tuesday. all you can do is decide what YOU'RE going to do.

Don't you eat rutabega in the U.S.? What's wrong with you people??? It's yummy! Best to do: mashed potatoes, but use like 1/4 rutabega and 3/4 potatoes. Perfect to sausage.

Lazy today - got some scrapping done tough.

oh, and ...
thank you O-Fam for being there, listening to the rants and the good news and everything in between!
 
Morning ladies.... I am SICK!!!!!!! :sick: I hate being SICK!!!!! :hurt: I don't have time to be SICK!!!!! :puke: I have way too much to do! Won't stay here cause I really gotta go back to bed, hope everyone has a better day than me!! Going to try to at least get into the gallery sometime today, perhaps personals later?? UGHHHHHH!! Someone just shoot me and get it over with!! :wave:
 
Trudy!! :hurt: nuts to being sick. i wish you lived nearby so i could bring you some chicken soup!

Eva, you are talking me into buying a rutabaga, if i can find one in the store and if they're not really high carb!
 
It was a 4 sneeze dinner! For those who don't know - after a really good restaurant meal I sneeze and get stuffy- tonight 4 sneeze. Even better because I made reservations through open table- flaming dessert was included- cheeries jubilie! I will get up and work out tomorrow!! I was so trying not to feel overstuffed this week- oops! The restaurant was seafood and set up to look like a cruise ship inside
