Well, Connor feels a little better but still kinda weak. He only ate a saltine cracker today and 1 chicken nugget. So i will be keeping him out tomorrow from daycare again. And brother is going to stay with dad tomorrow. I guess he is over his flu. Sis called him to come stay with dad. Lord, I hope me or hubby don't get connor's mess. I hate those stomach viruses with a passion. Takes me 3 or 4 days to get to feeling half way normal.
Can ya'll tell me what is the deal with the new timeline on facebook? Why is everybody going to it? I hate it. I still have my facebook. Well i hope all of ya'll have a wonderful night full of sleep. Love and hugs stormyyy

stormy...sorry to hear the little guy isn't feeling well....hopefully this will be a short bout. What we have seen here, it doesn't last long. Usually the younger they are, the faster they bounce back.

I wouldn't think it would be too difficult to show your niece how she can assist with Dad.....a little Dad-sitting for a place to eat and sleep seems like a fair trade.

Austin- it would be nice if we could get her to help us out with dad some. We just don't know how long she will want to stay there. But it would be a big help to me and sis. Plus since brother has been sick with the flu for a week or longer and my nephew's truck got totaled just the other night he is fine. One of his friends was driving it and flipped it but he is fine also. The truck is not. And the lady that sits with dad in the afternoon well her car died two nites ago. So our family is having major vehicle problems... Ugh.... Seems like it is always something... And my baby feels so bad with this stomach virus. It's the first one he has ever had. He is finally asleep getting some rest. I hope he feels better when he wakes up. Love and hugs to all of ya'll. stormyyy

Stormy maybe there will be a silver lining your neice could be a good help to you -she may be a nurse in the making-my daughter left a high stree job is social service and trained to be a CNA and is doing well and a lot less anxious.

Been up since 5:30 this morning. Connor woke up saying he didn't feel good. And then he threw up twice. Don't know if he is trying to come down with a stomach virus. Well he just threw up another time. ugh. So i guess we will be staying home today. I got to start making phone calls for dad. Sis is suppose to be off today but she is trying to finish taxes and bookwork. And our neice the one that done the mural at the church stayed last nite with my sis and dad cause she and her brother got into a fight and her and her mother are not getting along. Said she wanted to stay at grandpa's for a few days. But she knows nothing about dads care. But we might teach her some stuff if she is going to be down here with us. Well i guess i need to make a move and do something. Not sure what. So ya'll have a lovely morning. hugs stormyyyy

Hi everybody. I had a lot of work to do! Which I hope it will last for a little time but I am not so sure of it. Sure the situation here in Italy is becoming very heavy. Lirpa I am sorry for your situation. All the other friends from USA can give you good advices about how you can ask for help. I can understand you as far as money problems are concerned. It is very stressful, sometimes it is more stressful than the problems of caregiving. If you combine the two, you literally blow up!
Stormy all my dogs when their little had their period of biting - and the kittens, their period of scratching - it just went away when they grew up. I think that Connor has just to be careful not to be bitten on his face.... When my brother and I were little and we played with my grandmother's cats we were always dripping blood... Well I think maybe we did something we should not have done. But we survived and the cats too! I remember I liked to make them wear the dresses of my dolls.
Vic, I am happy you are having some peaceful days.
Notlike, I didn't have to do with the disease your mother has, and so I don't really know how one must feel. I guess it has to be very hard.
Zoey I am happy you could have a nice weekend and I hope your sons will continue to be so cooperative.
Seeme happy birthday! and good luck with the dogs. It is about time!
Starry! Hi! Where are you and what are you doing.
Hadass: I read your story with interest. My uncle had the same treatment when he was 20 (those were the years '40) and though he doesn't hide it - all the family knows about it - he doesn't want to talk about it. I can understand. Those times you were depressed? No problem, a good shock! Terrible if you think of it.
Ladee! I am sorry about the ups and downs of Marie. You know better than I do that everywhere, when you work, you find some kind of problem and the ideal situation does not exist. Maybe if things worsen you could find a family where you have to take care of a person only, and the relatives are 99% absent so they don't piss you off. But I know you care about Sonny and you would be sorry to leave him.
I am having a very difficult period and try to keep myself alive but it is hard sometimes. Sometimes I don't write because I have nothing good to say.
Good night everybody! I am saving this message before I post it!

Thanks, notlike, but this 60 is hitting pretty hard. It's only 1 day older, but I am feeling the accumulation of all of those days.

Ladee, we haven't heard for sure if the mating took, but if for some reason it didn't, then we are looking at plan B, which is to say there are a couple of breeders in MO that have dogs for sale. Not to say they will have any when we are there in May, but it is another option. Hubby says I could drive out there and pick them out if I want, or get 1 dog from each breeder, but we are going to take a ride to Knightdale near Raleigh just to drive by and see where the dogs live. We went to a breeder in SC once and found out it was a real puppy mill. One male tagged every female every time one went in heat. He was happy as the ratio was about 7:1....... Like I said before this is the last time we will be able to get big dogs from puppies as we are getting too old to do it later, what with all the grooming they require.

Back from dinner and it was good. Thank you Mis and
Burned for the well wishes. I ended up ordering a lobster bake. It was 3 lobster tails, shrimp scallops and mussels in the shell over linguini with a butter/white wine/garlic sauce. I also wanted and got calamari, which was REALLY tender this time, seafood stuffed mushrooms and fried broccoli as an appetizer. When hubby saw what all I ordered, he just ordered a plate.......no food.....and we shared the whole meal, so I just had enough room for everything.....except I had to bring the cheesecake home. All in all, a wonderful meal, including the cheese biscuits - hubby ate 3 - and garden salad. I look like a seafood stuffed mushroom about now!!

Kathy's mom is doing so well with her therapy that she isn't expected to stay very long at all. She can already go to the bathroom herself with the aid of a walker, she has walked the length of the whole building 5 x today.

Jam, they do have lobster rolls at McDonald's in Maine. Last time I got one, it was $5 and well worth it. They are only available in the summer months, don't know the prices now. When we go there this summer in July, we will drive and hit the first Mickey D's at the border of Kittery, Maine. Hubby never brings me one back when he gets his mom..........even if it would be a week old when I got it. They serve it in a thick piece of Texas sized bread sliced like a hot dog bun and put a whole section of claw meat on the top......really good......I get 2 at one time.

Ladee, I would like to hear more about this depression of yours. Send me an email. I thought things were going pretty good since you caught up with your boys. Please fill me in.

Everyone have a wonderful night, get plenty of sleep, Vic, and I will talk to you tomorrow. Love to all...............

Vic - glad your Dad is having a few good days. With a nap even! Thinking of you. Remember - worrying about when the good will end will not make it come any faster or slower. What will happen will happen in it's own time and worrying will not solve anything. I know it's hard, and I'm wishing you peace. Hugs.

Happy birthday Semee! 60 is the new 40, ya know :)
Ladee-I'll bet you are the best housekeeper who cares ever! I know it hurts when they say evil stuff. I wish we all had raincoats so it would slide right off. Maybe we could make them in the Laundry Room? LOL
River - just reading your posts. What a strong and smart person you are.
Mis-Please rest! You have been through so much. Hugs.
Today was back and forth day. No lung radiation, then I get a call to make an appt with that doctor. Mom's cold is better, then worse, then who knows. Pj's one day, dressed another. She really thinks she will just stay in bed until it goes away. She was hemming and hawing about going to her MRI on Thursday. You'd think the woman never had a cold before in her life. But I'm starting to wonder if something else isn't going on, I just don't know.
I'm still feeling stronger and more together. That is, until the next crisis! LOL
Warm thoughts to everyone. Oh, and yes, I am terrible at saying no too!

River, you know it's not like we had any role modes to teach us about self caring as opposed to selfishness.... and it's the selfish ones making all the demands and we end up feeling guilty.... how messed up is that....
Seeme, hope your bday was a good one.... did I read right that you are not getting the puppies you were hoping for???? But you do have another place to go??? I sure hope so, if anyone ever needed puppies it is my Seeme Sue...
Austin, you know I'm not going anywhere, I might miss something.... and thanks for helping me feel valuable today, I am working thru another deep depression, so what you said makes me feel good... I appreciate you, thanks
Marie was just Marie today and I was just the housekeeper....

Hope everyone has a descent day.... love and hugs to you all...

Someone told me once that on the East coast you can get a lobster at a McDonald's....is that true? I bet it's a lot less expensive than what we pay for one here........it's a shame to love it so much and have to pay $25 for one. So we wait until our Vegas trip so we can get a special steak and lobster dinner for $9.99.....and they are delicious!

I have been spoiled by going to Maine-I can only eat lobsters at the Lobster Shack in Lincolnville right off the lobster boats.

Stormy, I'm not sure how old your puppy is. It takes a lot of consistency but the very best way to train him to not bite; NEVER allow him to put his teeth on human flesh. Smack his nose, just enough to get his attention, every time he starts to play with his teeth on you. He will start to give up and lick your skin, that's when you pet & praise! If all his 'people' will be consistent with this training, he will soon understand. I trained a puppy years ago to do this. It's a good thing, he grew to be 130lbs! He is long gone now but in his whole life, he never bit any person. If dog is large, also train him to never jump up on people, with the same principle. Good luck with your puppy! :0)
