Monday musings

Good Monday to you all. And what do you have planned for this week? I finally got the promotion I was offerred at the higher rate of pay I asked for - woohoo! That will be starting soon so I am making the most of my 1 hour in the afternoons before my daughter comes home from school to get everything done that needs to be done before I start working full time. I am also trying really hard to be positive about myself and my eating. Each meal is a new meal that I can make the right choices about, each day a new day. I'm going to hang in there and keep plugging away. Have a great week everybody

Hi Ruth! Congrats on the raise!!! My hubbys Dad was admitted to the hospital this morning so we spent the day there...He will be having surgery either on Friday or Thursday..He has bad kidneys,heart,and he just had a knee replacement. He was having trouble with circulation in his legs and had blockage in his veins. He will be 90 in January,just hope he makes it through this ok. If he doesn't have this surgery he will lose his leg,his foot is already dead and gain green had set into his big toe... Then we filed for custody of the grandkids today,they said it could take 6 to 8 weeks... My weight ....I'm like you anymore....I try to stay away from them, somedays I feel just plain FAT!! But as long as I keep staying under 190 still I guess I am happy!! HAve a great week!!

Thanks Karen sorry to hear about your father in law. I hope the surgery goes well for him - it sounds like he's having a rough time at the moment. Good for you for filing for the Grandbabies - it may take time but it will be worth it in the end - you will change their lives. Did you look into getting funding at all? Maybe your lawyer could help on that front?

Thanks Ruth, Just waiting to see how his visits with the heart Dr. and kidney Dr. goes! I sent in some paers for some kind of assistance through welfare like they told me to do....will have to wait and see how it goes! She finally called last night to see how the kids were,a week later! Huibbys going today to get their birth records,since she doesn't seem to know where they are!! iT WILL change my life for sure! Theres moments I ask myself,why am I doing this???? Then other times when Abby cries cause she doesn't want to go home,wherever that may be!! She wants to stay with us forever and forever she says!! Just have to keep working with my pateince part and set up some time away from them to spend some time to myself!!

Hi Ruth well I have a court ordered mediation today.. I have had to hire a lawyer and file for sole custody and child support as my ex husband says since he got remarried he does not have time for my 15 yr old son... (although)(since I filed the papers he is now interested)(as long as it does not involve money) other than that DH is traveling all week and I am working.

Good luck on the filing, not a day I want to trade with you! How is the shop going - are you busy? Are you on the internet yet so we can all have a browse (and maybe purchase?)

i am SO proud of you sugar...good show! ANDI
