mj - do come and vent if u can - it helps retain the sanity

a little humour for tonite

my daughter's comment to me this afternoon when she heard I was in a pasture with a horde of horses milling around me. "Mum", she said, "if I heard about a 74 yr old grandmother in a pasture with amongst a bunch of horses I would think she was insane." So I laughed and she said - "But it's natural for you!!!"

lol gotta luv 'em

have a good one

Stormy Ladee is right... if he gets stupid you call 911 immediatly you don't need that sheat not with what you are dealing with. Don't even let him in the house ... and lock the door ...

Stormy, girl you call 911 if he gets stupid, let the law handle it.... and you don't have to be abused by ANYONE!!!!!!! Maybe you should just go ahead and call him and tell him not to come.. if you are anticipating this many problems, maybe it would be better for all involved if he just kept his drunk ass home....
And I am so so sorry that you and sis are suspecting the worse... I pray ya'll get an answer soon, not knowing is worse I think.... you are in my prayers, and hope this mess with the brother doesn't get too weird.... love and hugs to you girl....

Welcome back MJ, and happy to hear you are reading even if you don't get a chance to post... hope we hear from you more often... How do we do this??? I haven't a clue... we do it out of love, out of a sense of loyalty, out of obligation, out of fear, out of guilt, we do it because this is what our heart tells us to do... shoot honey, I don't know... I do know if it weren't for all you guys on this thread, I WOULDN'T do it... or I would be less effective, or not be reminded that I am important too, that what I feel is normal, to be encouraged by others, to laugh about stupid stuff because we need the release. Guess we do it together, as best we can, regardless of how crazy we get... You probably already know all this,,, but wish you would post and let us know what is going on with you and how you have been.... we have missed you..... hugs across the miles....

Well, little one just came over here and erased everything that I had typed in. Anyway what I was telling ya'll was that I was washing dad off today and when I was washing up under his arms I felt another swollen lymph node. That mess is all over him. Call it a gut feeling. Sis has that feeling too!!! And we still haven't heard a word from our drunk ass brother that is suppose to stay with dad this weekend. If he shows up drunk this weekend I'm just going to tell him to go home. And I will stay with dad. But hubby has already told me that if he shows up drunk he is going to cuss him out. And I told sis that if that sil of ours calls me up fussing about bro. coming down here to stay with dad then I am going to cuss her out. Because the reason bro is drinking is because of either her crazy ass or because he has his drinking buddies over there with him. Not because he is having to come and stay with dad because he has not been down here or called to see how he is doing. I just wish this weekend was over with. I don't want to have to deal with him. Plus when he drinks he gets sooooo mad, he has a very bad temper. When he use to drink all the time before his stroke I did not want to be around him because he would get so enraged about nothing. He scared me to be around him. We just don't need that sh$# right now... Well, I might try to come back later after I get lit' red down to sleep. Love and Hugs to all of my buddies!!!!! Stormy.

Hello everyone! From what I read (limited) seems as though everyone is having a pretty good day.
Finally got diagnosis for my FIL - Parkinsons. He's in advanced stage as dementia has already started. Doing research how to care for him best as possible. Between his Parkinsons and MIL Cancer we have our hands full.
I know how you all feel about the voice - for me its the shuffling of the feet. All hours of the night. Have to make sure not getting into anything he's not supposed to. They finally settle down around 2 a.m. They sleep to 11:30 or so so nothing can get done (I have not gotten to the point that I am that rude to wake them with the vacuum - yet lol) All appointments in afternoon so days are screwed up and unproductive. I still get up around 6:30 - take the time to meditate and go work out at the gym. Helps to be a bit active as our lives have slowed down here too much. I am used to working 18-20 hours a day. Not enough physical drain and too much mental and emotional drain makes for one unheathy, spiritually challenged caregiver!
I would love it if my inlaws watched NCIS etc. mine watch fox news almost 24/7 with an occasional break for the Cardinal game. Talk about feeding the fear of the already fearful. I have not watched the news in about 4 years and I am so much more peaceful for it!
Thank you all for your honesty and support here. Even if I do not participate all the time it's still a comfort to read all of your shares! I hope we all have a peaceful night!

Ah finally went and got my canopy they had a discount on the walmart site so I got the better one yeah its about 30 dollars more but when you think about it its got to last through fairs and moving and I rather pay the little extra and have a good quality one then buy the cheaper and have to buy another one when it breaks.... so now all I got to do is pack up my stuff and get ready.... dismantle the heat press pack all the products print up the fliers maybe I'll take it to my friend at Post net and have her do it .. .have the one picture printed up .... and frame it to sell ... oy so much to do little time to do it!

No starri, I think the reference was to me being sick the past few day, from making chicken and rice... I didn't eat any chicken, I don't eat meat, but the rice was rich and must have thrown my tummy upside down,,, or at least I THINK this is the chicken reference,, may not be, maybe I missed something too,,,,

ok, I am back home, the BS is moved, being set up and without having to hear any more yammering... I haven't lost my temper like that in a long time, I still have a headache... So, can tell BG and sil it is moved and maybe I can be out of here by the first of next week.. I will be going after work everyday doing some major cleaning, and getting it ready to move some of my stuff in.....
And guess what, this is the blessing.... the lady saved a spot for me under a tree!!!!!! How cool and thoughtful is that........I almost cried when she showed me where I would be parked.... so paid her, paid for the wrecker, gave my son money to go get hoses and other stuff, now I'm broke, but finally happy... It's a Banana Split ya'll, finally!!!!
Starri, laughed out loud at my insanity plea, and if one more man had said one more stupid complicated thing to me, I was going to go postal.... told the wrecker driver he was my new best friend..... he did the job in less than an hour, and it had to be moved from another town..... anyway.. need to get cooled off, try to get rid of this headache, and do some gratitude.. I have my own tree ya'll, do you know what that means in texas heat..... YEHA.... more later after a shower, some food, and a little relaxing.... love ya'll hugs..

I can't blame her for liking to watch Derek, I'm a married woman and he looks good to me..lol...

Seeme, I can understand the cringing every time you hear your name, after a while you want to change it.. Bummer about hubby, is there anything the doctors might be able to give him to help with this? or is moving the final option? AZ and NV is where a lot of people have to move for the asthma.

Went out to the camper, don't have as much space as I was hoping for, but I can clear out hubbys tools to his "new" toolbox he had to have, so that will open up some space, some rearranging and getting two weeks worth of stuff in there isn't going to be a problem.. now to just find some of the stuff I bought for the camper and get it in there, like the first aid kit..lol..

Maybe get a rotating target holder for the cat and some darts.. she's about to drive me nuts.. I am not sure about traveling with a cat, two dogs and a husband..

I'm glad that you are all there, it's helping to be able to talk, even if it is through the computer.. I tend to hide when I get like this, not a good thing I know. Well, time to consider what to make for dinner, besides calling out for pizza, even I, the woman who loves pizza the most can get sick of it after a while.

Ladee? where are you?

Starri, your sense of humor is beginning to show again! Love it. We will pull you out of the hole if you go there. I really didn't have time to grieve in all the process of getting mom here. Two sisters and one brother were there and dad's only living sib. I was the one who gave the nurse the OK to pull the plug. I know he had cardiac infarction and the numbers on his stats showed he had ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome) and he would not recover after years of smoking, kidneys were failing........but I still felt like I killed him when Ihung up the phone. All the sibs there agreed with me, but I had to make the decision from NC. And I had just spoken to him on the phone the day before. I may do the grieving for both at the same time.

Right now I break out in blisters every time I hear mom call my name. Yesterday wasn't enough time away. I think she is up to 40 min in between going to the bathroom. I tried to take a nap while she was laying down. What a joke. My name sounded like fingernails on a blackboard about then. I know I am whining, but the smell gets to me and everytime she calls me, I automatically smell it.

I take lexapro for my anger.....usually because someone is being an ass. It started when I did a job I hated at work. I tried Paxil first and after 4 days of the 10 mg dose (the lowest?) I was afraid I was going to forget to breathe........but I was relaxed !!!! Got exhausted just taking a shower.

Well, hubby has a sinus infection and was running a low-grade fever. He's alerady decided not to go to work tomorrow. It is harvest time and he has an infection instead of asthma, so far. Never fails, but it usually happens in Sept. When they start spraying the defoliant on cotton and even picking tobacco and cultivating it can cause him to go into some funk. Now mom is scared from the news. Geez, TS Emily is driving her nuts. Course they have to make a big deal of it, good or bad.

Ladee, good to hear you took charge and are getting it done. Damn men, got to fix everything before it moves and too hot to do that......BS, takes a woman to get it done. We got a swamp about a mile away and Jam has a pond..........

Shawna, good luck at the fest.......I did that a couple of times with my painting, but it IS a lot of work. Stupid me started out painting old thick bricks as stocking holders for Christmas........why something as heavy as a brick? DUH!!! Then I did lighthouses on blue satin ornaments.....much better !!! And NC loves their lighthouses !!!

Gotta get supper going. 6 PM and 101 degrees.......but Kathy comes tonight........ later

can't blame you for not wanting to break down the equipment, too bad you can't take advanced orders and just fill them there at the house.. no need to drag the equipment along..lol.. I've been out to the camper, not much in the way of storage space, trying to find any "wasted" space that might be there.. Will have to check out your website.. Enjoy your time off even if it is working Shawna.

I'm glad to hear that the paxil is working for her, I hope it keeps up, I know for me my lamictal is a God send.. I still from time to time sink into depression, but it's easier to crawl out of now.. Her getting grouchy at times, is a normal thing, we all do..lol, people when they find out we're bipolar tend to panic if we get depressed or grouchy, wonder if we've taken our meds, etc.. we're human, we have those moods at times like everyone else does. My happy pill was my xanax, till I got a little toooo happy with them, now I won't have them in the house. I call my lamictal my "keep from killing people" pill. I have the welbutrion for helping with the depression. I've thought about seeing my doctor about upping the dosage of the anti depressant but this depression is normal considering the circumstances. There is no amount of anti depressant on the earth that will take this away.

So I'll just hang on, and if it gets too bad, will get my butt into see her. Well, computer still says 102, but the sun is getting lower in the sky, so I am going to see if I can get out there and get something done... Ladee? check in and let us know if we need to pass the hat for bail money.. we already know you can plead insanity.
