Daily Ooo's: Wednesday, June 11

[faerywings]

happy Wednesday O-Peeps! How are ya doing?

I am hanging in. I feel bad for my mom however. When I told her about the difficulty in figuring out the medication issues, she got really upset. She is frustrated that she can't help, and then comes up with complicated ways to do something that she thinks will help. She feels pressured, and while I try to reassure her that this isn't a life or death situation, she struggles with it anyway. I feel so bad. I guess I would feel the same. I guess I do feel the same frustrations and fears with my kids and Lyme. It is *so* not easy being a Mom!!

Did you ever think that when your kids got older the worry would go away? I know that when my guys were little, I did. Now I realize that the worries just change.

Nancy- wow, I don't think we got that much rain at all. If we did, I am sure that we would have water in our basement.
That is funny about your "busy day." Some days, I feel like that too.

Phyllis- so good to see you back in here! What a crazy vacation. Its like anything that could go wrong did. Although it is good to hear that the weather was nice.
I'll be talking to my Lyme Dr tomorrow to see what we can figure out. I really don't know what the right thing to do is.

Sara, I am so sorry that your vacation plans are all mucked up. And how hard it must be to see Ben disappointed

Jean- that must have been a worrying time about your sister. I am guessing that she lives alone? Hugs to you!

Jane, OMG- that is just awesome about Les! I give him so much credit to do this. Just incredible. And you sound like you have been busy and active too.
This year, my gardens are very neglected. I seem to only be able to get out there for short bits of time before I poop out. I haven't even been able to get anything done in the back yard. Good thing no one sees it!

Hope that you all have a fab day!

Chris, how right you are about concerns about kids never going away. mine are both hovering either side of 30, and it never ends. we are attached to them by our guts. forever.(a more elegant woman would have said "by our hearts," but to me, that just doesn't cover the intensity of the thing.) good luck with all of this. and hugs.

Sara, i can actually feel how disappointed you must be. nothing at all like eagerly anticipating something, then having it pulled out from under you. i hope you get to have some time away later this summer.

Jane, what an amazing thing your hubby is doing!! what a story he'll have to tell!

i have become a sleeping fool, for some reason. generally i average 5-6 hours per night. since we got back from "vacation," i've done 7-8+ hours. wonder if i'm getting the Grandmen and DIL Sickness!! or maybe my body is just saying, "know what? after that weird vacation, you need to sleep!"

today it's more ironing, and some baking. i made some almond flour muffins this morning, so i had a decent breakfast. maybe i'll do some almond flour CC cookies later. i was thinking the other day that i am probably finished with scrapping. it's been so long since i made a page that i likely have forgotten how to work in PSE. and i just don't seem to be motivated. it's pathetic. i think there are several things that caused this state of affairs for me. one of them is that i am just sick of learning new tech. every time a program or OS does a change, i become less and less interested in chasing it. so. poof.

enjoy Wednesday! make a page for me! :becky:

good morning - I am very late this am as I have a slight head cold and it makes me angry to be sick. I (like Phylis) have been sleeping and I think that is helping keep this cold on the mild side. Just so you all know that while I feel sorry for the Ranger fans I don't feel that bad LOL. I am cheering all the way for the LA Kings. I want a sweep. My son sent me the following txt - Martin Brodeur (my NJ Devils goalie winner of 3 Stanley Cups) was invited to Henrik Lundqvist's (goalie for the Rangers) home for drinks but alas there were no Cups. Did get in a good walk yesterday. Scrapped a couple of pages.

Chris I am sure you and your doctors will figure out this medication stuff. This is my DH's take on children "you worry about your child from the day they are born until the day you die" and it is so true.

Phylis what a non-vacation vacation. If your body says sleep then sleep! Your baking sounds really good. I am bummed that you do not want to scrap any more. I think that if you had been using MAC you would not even have noticed any of the upgrades. They make all that stuff so easy to do and you never have to worry weather an application will work on a MAC. And as far as the upgrades to PSE I love that there are now masks. Have fun ironing! love your laughing rolling head!

Sara so sorry the vacation plans are on hold. So hard when jobs require that much travel.

Jean glad your sister just got busy!

Jane that is so amazing that you DH is riding so far. I traveled from Windsor to the Niagara Falls and at least the part we drove through was pretty flat. Glad that technology lets you keep in touch.

Have a great day all.

A very late hello to all of you ladies today, I am just popping in to say hey and tell you all how much I miss you! Then its back to cleaning that I promised DD I would get done today. Lots of jobs to finish before we head back to BC on the 17th, flight is booked, and DD is anxious to get back home to see her dad. We leave a bit earlier than originally planned, but it is for the best as things are still a bit tense around here. Jonah has sprained his ankle very badly and so is not much help around here. Looking forward to sleeping in my own bed and spending the rest of the summer with Mason and Heather and lazing at the lake. Can't wait to scrap some pages again too! Hope you are all keeping well! :wave:
