MONDAY morning
Good morning Shirley and all to follow....
Been awake since 3 a.m. ....many things going thru my mind....have to make a difficult decision today and it's really taking a toll. I haven't mentioned on here anything about a 2nd man in my life, but there is one and he is wonderful....he is so different than the one I
have seen here a few times....I am praying that I make the right decision and not hurt someone too much.
Never in my life have I been so admired by a gentleman... who would ever believe at my age, I would have to make a decision between two.
Off to work this morning....hopefully I will be able to concentrate on my job.
Have a good Monday, all.

A few reminders to a smart lady who might be blinded for a moment by a promising relationship.. Blinds me anyway in the early stages.
A few pointers that helped me long ago. Someone who BRINGS more than they take in a relationship , someone who NEVER makes you wonder if they care, someone who helps you more in everyway than you help them , MUST have a car and some income , isnt secretive about ANYTHING , always makes you feel better not worse
I know you probably already thought of all this but if not just a kind reminder. Lots of men are looking for a nurse with a purse ,,in other words someone to take care of them and the money to boot .. Of course this works both ways at some point but women are usually looking for a love and a relationship , some men hunt the nurse and purse thing in my opinion .
Hugs

Thank you Shirley -- what you said really got me to thinking.....all excellent points to consider. Both of these men are very financially secure and they both know I have very little to offer in that regard. One is probably a taker of my affections and I am sometimes unsure of his true feelings. ....guess that moves him down a notch on my chart....thanks again, I know I am overwhelmed with all the attention I am receiving (something I've missed for the past 11 years)......I MUST BE CAREFUL.
I appreciate all of my friends here who have only my best interest at heart.

Welcome Pat .... I was in that same boat a while back and I took HIS UNDIVIDED ATTENTION to mean he was crazy about me .. HE WANTED to slowly replace everyone in my life and control it and me .. THUS we have to make sure he is normal and that it isnt a control thing . GEEZZZ I JUST LIKE NORMAL lol
Take Care and have a great week

Morning all, sober 344 days and so proud of me.
Been having "sugar" issues last 3 days. Very shaky and thunder head after eating. Will police my food today. Haven't eaten high sugar things so concerned why I am feeling like I am.
Traveling bra on soon....I have my first Chiro visit today.
Rain fell on and off all weekend. The world is lush.
Wishing all a merry Monday. Thanks you Christopher Columbus for bringing America to light.

Good mornin' ya'll.
Pat, I hope the decision you make is the right one for you. Pray, weigh the differences and think of your future. You are a mature woman and deserve to be happy and content. Many years ago our son called his Dad and wanted to know how you know of you are in love. His Dad told him, if you have to ask, you are NOT.
I am getting all stressed out and yesterday afternoon I just took a few hours for me, to take care of some stuff I have been neglecting while I do projects for others. Like filing all the stuff I just threw on my desk, cooking up some stuff I bought for a certain recipe, before the food went bad. It all came to a head when I couldn't find a zipper I needed and I know is somewhere in my sewing room!!
I have too many things going on at once. DIL wants everyone to try on their chosen costumes in case something needs to be altered, the Princess isn't done yet, the leather pants for the swashbuckler haven't been started. The girl that is gonna be a Princess wants her boyfriend to be a frog!!! Been thinking about that (just green shirt and pants with some kind of big eyed hat/mask?). Couch needs to be done before the party on the 29th. She brought some material down for kitchen curtains that also need to be done by the 29th
(they will be easy).
I have been at my sewing machine or doing crochet for 10 to 12 hours a day, coming out to fix a meal for any who come by at all times of the day. Son, DIL, grandsons, etc. Sat. the one grandson came down with Pillsbury biscuits and asked if I would make biscuits and gravy, DIL soon followed to eat, too.
Sooooooo, new routine for G-Ma. I will do what I can at a pace I can without going crazy. If people want me to make them a meal, they have to realize something else will have to be sacrificed!
I hope everyone out there is finding peace in all of your endeavors. My prayers for all who need them as you navigate the treacherous waters of relationships, family, jobs, sobriety, mindful eating, pets, and anything else life throws at you.
Have a fantabulous day! I am going to try to!

Wow....too much on your plate of life. Always wonder how you do it all with such grace. You work very hard to accomplish all that is thrown/given at you. Volcanic eruptions need a trigger pressure point, yours was the missing green zipper. I have had "green zippers" in my life. Don't be the scarecrow in everyone else life.....the "place" they can come and pick at until YOU disappear. We here know how much you love to do for all those who love you, but sometimes we need to take care of ourselves. Be good to you, no sacrifices need to made....you come first.

Caroline, you do so much for so many! I have been there, on a much smaller scale. One time I just lost it & walked out the door. We have 20 acres of woods & I took off crying. It was evening & I needed time alone. All the kids & grands were here & they all wanted something. The grands wanted me to supervise there swimming, we have a small pool for them, I needed to cook dinner, & also pick up the house. The other adults were all doing there own thing. I finally had a talk with them & things are better now. Plus the grands are older too.I just can't keep up anymore & sometimes they forget that. I am sending good thoughts for all of them to understand you need to pace yourself, & even ask for help once in a while. Nan
