MORNING SATURDAY....

What's going on? Nobody started yet? Let me warm my coffee up be right back!!!

OK...arm is still hurting...not posting much because typing makes it hurt more. I can use my right hand to use the mouse though so I can play my games...hahaha. I am left handed and I do have to write a lot in my job so moving it hurts.

Getting rain today. It is 63* out there. Nice. All this rain can come if it wants to now...just be allover with so it does NOT rain on the 9th!!!!!!!!! That is our next BBQ for the tenants!!!!!!! So far all of our BBQ's have had ****ty weather!!!! Please let this one be nice for a change!!!!

OK arm is hurting so need to stop and rest it again.

Thoughts and Prayers for ALL that need them!!!

HUGSSSSSSSSSSS

Good morning Judy and everyone......

Judy....I hope your can do something for your pain. Have you tried using any Bio Freeze or anything? Maybe you could just get a Cortizone shot or something. I know it is costly but this isn't going to get better by itself....only more painful. We have a clinic here that only charges on a sliding fee scale according to income. Anything like that there? I keep praying for you!    Judy...thanks for the funny jokes...they made me LOL!!

Vickie.....I so know how you feel. It is so hard keeping up with those little ones......they run full speed all the time!! Keeping you in my prayers.   I know first hand how difficult this can be. That is why we had our children young...God knew what he was doing. We aren't cut out for this everyday. When does pre-school start? I know not soon enough.

Debbie.....seems like many of us are in a blue funk these days. HUGS!!!!!

I am finally feeling a bit better today. I even have a bit of energy this morning. I still plan on taking it easy as I don't want this flared up again. Yesterday I pretty much rested and applied ice. I did manage to finish my book and am on to another. Thank goodness I love to read. I am not much of a TV person. I have my favorite shows but just can'****ch TV all day... never could.

Wishing you all a happy day!! Prayers for many here today and also those who are away. Sure am missing everyone!!

Love and hugs to all....connie d

Morning Connie!  I'm so glad to hear that you are feeling better today. I worry about you!

Preschool starts Aug 26th.  4 more weeks!  And Butch should be home around Aug 21st.  I will make it.  Don't know what kind of shape I'll be in by then, but I will do it!  (Of course, my house may be in total shambles by then!) 

I'm glad you like to read.  Me, too!  Wish we could trade books. 

Love ya!

Vic

Good morning Judy and my OFF sistas!

Judy, hope you are feeling better today!  How's the arm?  Rest it as much as possible this weekend, okay?

I am glad it is Saturday and Chris has this weekend off.  Last weekend she'll have for awhile.  Hobby Lobby is moving to it's new location in August and her boss already warned all of the employees that they will ALL be working every weekend (both Saturday AND Sunday) for the next month.  Sigh.  Lots of Benny and Mimi time!

I am eating too much.  I am stress eating.  I am eating chocolate--lord help me.  I am not going to water aerobics.  I feel like I am falling apart here. 

I have been working on my cross stitch, but that's all I've been doing.  I'm not cleaning house, I'm not doing anything productive.  I feel like a slug.

Okay, enough self-pity.  I just needed to get it out there.  Confession is good for the soul, right?

Hope everyone has a bright and fun-filled weekend!  Love you all!

Why not find a young teen who wants to earn a few dollars as a mimi helper?   You are still there and in charge but the helper takes charge of junior and entertains him for a few hrs giving you a much needed break.   

Jo, that's a good idea and one that's been suggested by other sistas.  Two problems: I don't know many people here and have no idea how to find a reliable teenager.  Also, a big lack of funds!  Even though Butch has gone back to work, we won't get another paychec****il Aug 31st.  Living off the savings account this summer and I need to watch every penny.  I will just have to muddle through.  Thanks for making the suggestion, though.  I love all of my sistas here!

Morning all!

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, been busy plus been in a blue funk!

Judy hope your arm stops hurting!

Vickie, sometimes it's so hard to pull yourself out of the hole we let ourselves get into. We know were going there but I sure don't know how to stop my self for digging myself in for awhile. Not sure if that makes any sense!?! If we lived closer I'd bring some Chinese food and we'd dig oursleves out! And chocolate of course.

Making our loft my sewing room today! This evening we have a wedding it's outside and going to be hot, triple digits, Yuck!

Hope you all have a great day, thoughts and prayers for all,

Debbie

Hi Debbie! 

Damn the blue funk, anyway.  I hate it when I get like this.  I'm sorry you're going through it too.

I am SO JEALOUS of your sewing room!  I had a wonderful sewing room at our old house.  Butch made me a custom sewing cabinet and a beautiful cutting table.  Now I sew in a spare room on Christie's old kitchen table.  Bleh!  I would love to at least have my sewing cabinet here, but no room.

We've got the triple digits, too.  Maybe we could write a song: The Triple Digit Blues!  LOL!

Hang in there, sweetie, and keep posting!

Good Afternoon Judy and OFF Family,

I've been having a lazy morning, and now afternoon, resting.  My nausea has acting up, and I just took my last Zofran.  I also am having pain in my right shoulder pain.  After looking up the symptoms of gall bladder issues, I've learned that pain in the right shoulder blade area of the back is one of them, along with the nausea.

I did some laundry yesterday, and then Colleen and the kids left to go camping with all her in-laws.  It's their annual camping trip.  Last evening they got rain.  Hopefully, today will be nicer for them.  

Today, I'm going to putz around the house.  Have some unpacking to do, and a letter to write.  Later, I'm going to watch the Phillies probably lose to Detroit.  They've lost five in a row since the All Star break.  Doesn't help that two of their power hitters are on the Disabled List.

Wish I had more energy.  Not sure why I've been so tired lately.

Hugs and Prayers,

Trish
