Early Saturday Insomnia

Good Morning Family,

I'm up late again.  Couldn't sleep, and was working on the dress for Izzy. I had started to cut it out, and got sidetracked.  So, I thought I would be able to finish cutting it, but realized I screwed up and need to buy another yard of the fabric.  There was plenty left on the bolt when I got it, so there should be plenty there yet.

Well, my plans for Friday got changed a few times.  First, I didn't get to the kids' Wacky Olympics.  Missed Izzy's in the morning, and Colleen didn't want to try to take Frankie in the afternoon, coz he was cranky, as in needing a nap.  So, I offered to stay with him, so she could go with Trent.  Then, around supper time, Trent's brother needed someone to stay with two of their kids, coz his wife was in town, and one of the boys was very sick.  So, he wanted to take him to urgent care.  His wife met him at the urgent care, so he came home to relieve me.  I have two of his kids in nursery.  The sick little guy is in our Toddler room, and their baby daughter is in infants.  Their six year old is on Lincoln's football team.

Saturday has me going to the last football game.  Then, I have a bit of shopping to do, as well as cooking.  Trent's Mom is home from the hospital, and I'm making a dish of stuffed shells for her.

Must scoot.

Love,

Trish

Good morning, ladies! 

Trish, thanks for starting the thread, but I am so sorry you have insomnia again!  I think it's also just a part off getting older too.  And I meant to say, nothing worse than losing your glasses in the morning.  I've spent many a morning frantically groping around the floor before I step on them! 

Kathy,what was Jazz' final verdict on Hershey Park? I bet it was a blast! One of my long list of NSV goals is to ride amusement park rides.  It's been so long since I was under the weight limit.  We live near a small old fashioned park called Playland in Rye NY.  They filmed the opening and closing of the movie Big there.  Anyway - they have a giant log flume and an old fashioned log flume... I've spent 15 years watching others on it and this season, it's my turn!  Or at least, I hope to get under the weight limit and be able to get in and out by then! 

Connie, dear Connie, I wish I could take that pain from you! Or at least, I hope that the weather stops fluctuating which may help a bit.  Big gentle hugs to you!  

Eileen, you are indeed a brave woman but you don't need to put up a front anymore.  I'm not an expert at all but it sounds like PTSD to me as well.  Please do see a therapist... You need some peace. Hugs to you as well. 

Oh heck, hugs to everyone!!! 

Jennifer, you gave so many good pieces of advice yesterday! How are you! And you get an extra hug! B

Mary, I have to agree with Vickie that not taking your own meds will just make a difficult situation worse for you.  Please take care of yourself and get some rest.  I hope Jim is doing better and that the doctors found no long term damage to heart or other organs! 

Judy, do you manage a cruise ship? Because your tenant seem to think your the cruise director! What the heck?  Your tenants DO NOT GET HUGS. LOL

jeannie, sending prayers to you that you and your loved ones stay safe from the flooding.  Post an update to us when you can! 

Francine, I forgot to ask, how is your room mate? I hope it was "only" food positioning and nothing more serious the other day.

Vickie, I hope you're making good use of your porch, to breathe and get some quiet time.  You remain in my thoughts and prayers of course.  My performance is tonight, by the way, so you didn't miss it.  If I get any video it will post a link to it!  

Carla, how is Chicago? Hope you're having fun with your Vinnie! She is adorable. 

Ok ladies, I'm off to the hairdresser and then to a manicure.  It's the rock star lifestyle. Ha! Not!  But I hope you all have a great day.  Prayers and love to all.  And, you know, HUGS! 

Christine

Christine, I do see a therapist every other week. I'm thinking of increasing that to once a week. I know things aren't right. I already had one mini-meltdown at work. The only time I feel really calm is when I'm in the pool. 

LMAO Christine...if I did manage a cruise ship trust me there would be MANY overboard!!!!!!

HUGSSSSSSSSSS

I'm having a blast with my Vinnie Pie!!! Today she is spending the day with her Auntie. I'm going to Iowa. Carl and I are going to see friends we haven't seen in about twelve years. I'm taking my son in law car cause my daughter needs my car.

Monday we r taking Vinnie to play at the mall and to Build a Bear!

Oh my cue my Vinnie is up!!

Good morning Trish and everyone....

Trish...you are such a wonderful lady. You are always helping so many out when they need a sitter or meals for the sick and a hundred other things. You have a huge huge heart!!! God Bless you for all that you do for others!!! 

I pray the little boy is feeling better today. I an glad to know that Trent's mom is home from the hospital now. I will keep her in my prayers. 

As for me...I am not doing well....I feel like I did last winter when I could't hardly walk I am so wobbly. My body has the inside shakes and I feel very, very weak. I stayed in bed most of yesterday and I can see that I will be again today. I only took one Vicodin yesterday so I know it isn't from that! I am having a hard time with my thinking too. I won't be doing much posting again today. You all know I love you and care very much. I just need to do what I can for me today. 

Prayers for our sweet OFF Family and their families too. Special prayers for our Vickie and Butch.  

Loads of love and bushels of hugs to all....connie d

P.S......I do get all my protein and supplements in every day. I am a fanatic about that!! Same with water!! 

Oh Connie,

please take care.  I am worried about you. 

Have you been eating enough protein, and drinking enough fluids?  I remember you said your doctor was asking you about that once.  I know it's a long shot but I thought I would ask.  

Is there anyone you could call to come and join you, keep you company?  This sounds like it's unusual for you - Maybe you can call your doctor's office for some advice?  

Sending prayers. 

Christine...there is no need to worry about me. I am doing okay I go through this when my Fibro Flare ups (and Arthritis) get this bad. 

When I am in this condition I don't want anyone around. Yesterday I was sleeping on and off the whole day. I spoke with my daughter, Carrie last night. She has seen me dealing with this many times. She will be checking in today. A couple of my granddaughters have contacted me...they know I just need a lot of rest. I spoke with a couple ladies here too. All is well.

I have a wonderful psychiatrist and psychologist on a regular basis. I really am alright.

I do have to go for now...my hands especially my thumbs are so painful...it is hard to type.

Thank you for caring...lots of love and many hugs...connie d

Connie, I know my body is bothering me, too. We just had a big storm come through, but even before I saw the clouds, I knew something was coming on. As soon as I got to work, I took a vicodin ... helped a bit, and then made sure I had enough caffeine to keep me awake. 

Take care of yourself. 

Connie now that we have the "like" tab we need the DISlike one also...Hope you feel better soon!!!! I know I am hurting all over with my uncle Arthur so I can only imagine how you are hurting....HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
