***Muddy Monday Roll Call***

Good Morning PA,
From all the rain on Sunday it is sure to be muddy when I walk Utley this morning.  I hope everyone is safe and dry, wherever you are.

Monday proves to be frustrating, just as Sunday was.  I am home, resting my phlebitis leg, and putting the warm moist compresses on it.  Depending on how it feels, I hope to get to my AA meeting, one I have been getting to on days I am too sick to work.  Then, in the evening, I hope to get to my new treatment group.  I have some phone calls to make for appointments.  Must see doc about leg this week, and I have to schedule my mammogram that kept getting missed for valid reasons.  

I am discouraged and bummed about some stuff going on in my family, and my life in general.  Some of my stuff is spiritual concerning my kids.  Plus, just being a Mom of an adult child who is going through a rough time always gets me concerned.  Two of my kids are dealing with tough life issues, and I just want to cry because I can no longer fix it and make it better.  One concerns my son who is facing some career stuff that is challenging.  The other concerns my daughter with the babies.  The babies have ear infections and my daughter and son-in-law's best friends are moving to Maine.  My daughter was practically in tears on the phone with me.  
Sorry to babble. 

Hugs,
Trish

We were typing at the same time :)

Monday doesn't have me doing all that much...a siesta of course...and then it's my day off.

Brian and I have some paperwork to do and then no other real plans.....

Maybe dinner out tonight if I can convince him...I wanna try a mexican place down the street from us.

Pretty much a low key relaxing day for us, which will be nice :)

Trish I do not have children and I am sure that this is one of those reasons. I think I would be too heartbroken to deal with the pain and challenges that they face.  Just remember one thing though, you cannot fix IT. But you can keep on fixing you so you are strong and their warm place to fall when they need it.

I hope you feel better soon.

I did a whole lot of nuthin yesterday and I feel like such a slug. Today I am in a foul mood, could barely get up for work. I am snarky and pessimistic about the day. I am hoping that my attitude will change. I hate it when i feel this way. I had such good days friday and sat and then overnight I am like a viper. I hate that.
Keeping my fingers crossed that myself and everyone around me survives today

When we woke up like that my parents wouldn't just ask "what side of the bed" we woke up on...but "What side of WHO'S bed did you wake up on - because it's not even you I'm talking to"

I hate days like that too, most of the time.  Sometimes, though...a snarky day is in good order :)

Here's hoping your clients don't mouth off at the wrong time

Thanks Nicole,
I do realize that I cannot fix it, and I have known that for a long time.  I also know I must keep working on fixing me with my programs and therapy.  I must also lean on my faith to strengthen me, and make me the role model and grandmother they need in their lives, not to mention shoulder to cry on.

I feel much better today.  A halfway decent nights' sleep helped.

Hugs,
Trish

Hi all,

Yea periodically my knee acts up, like yesterday amd today.  No insurance so can't check it out.

Yea, I am bumped too.  Getting fatter and fatter.  On meds with that side affect and my love for wine is causing the weight to pile on.  I feel like I am drowning in "me".  Failed all the practice tests last week due to a crappy class and that made me feel really bad.  I dunno.  

The good news is we have cars that are working, for now.  My hubby was offered a very low paying job and maybe it would work out so we can stay in this house.  He is not sure he will take it since his contract job pays well.  Well, if they paid on time.  Other than the knee and weight gain, we are healthy.  My new glasses are being paid for.  So, there is good news and I try to focus on that!!

Hey PA,

Hope we all stay dry today. This rain is supposed to hold on for a while.

I am off to the gym this morning, then working like crazy for the rest of the day. Friday was a HORRIBLE work day. I hardly ever have crisis moments in my job, and the truth is "this too shall pass" but....

Saturday I cleaned house and tackled some long-needed jobs and feel great about that. Sunday I met 2 new friends for a training walk for the Komen 3 day - we dodged the raindrops and I learned a new route right here in town.

Trish, I do know the challenges of adult children. Sometimes there is a train wreck coming and you just have to hold on and say your prayers. It's hard when it's not our place to make the decisions or solve the problems...I say sometimes, "It's  not my turn. I've already had my chance to do that." And of course, there are many times when that means you have to just be quiet.

Take care everybody!

Good morning.

I had a crappy Sunday and so far, I am not feeling much better today. We shall see.

Today has me going to class, finishing up my English paper that is due tomorrow and picking up my car from the garage at some point.

Hate this rain and cold. I need sunshine!

I hear you about the rain, and needing sunshine.  I was watching the Phillies games this weekend, and wondered what it would be like to live in a desert.  

Trish

Absolutely! The weather greatly affects my mood and little things bother me much more than they would on beautiful, sunny days!
