Tuesday, Tuesday
Oh my god my two yr old was crazy today!!! I was at Starbucks this morning with her, she got out of my sight in a nano second and grabbed the little ornaments that were ceramic and clanked them together and the manager went ballistic on me!!! He made me pay for two of them! 16.75! He told me one of them were cracked! I told him to give me the cracked one. I got to the car and it wasn't. He said he couldn't sell it. Granted I paid for it. But there wasn't a sign that said you break you pay. All the ornaments were on the bottom shelf where any kid could get them!!! I was pissed at his way of telling me so I called corporate and they credited my gold card 16.75 back!!! And they called his district manager for me!!!
Afternoon, Ladies.
Today was Food Share day - I was worried my shoulder was going to bother me...but I made sure I took all my medicine--methadone 10mg, tylenol with codeine for breakthrough pain, ibuprofen 400, and Omeprazole 20mg - the last two were added yesterday by the dotor for my shoulder pain. Amazingly, they all worked together really well and I had no problem with the shoulder. My PCP is trying to wean me off the methadone - I told him fine as long as he gives me something to replace it. When I called the doctor's office on Friday I asked for Flexeril, but his nurse called back and said he couldn't prescribe it because of my heart disease. I'm thankful the Omeprazole did the trick! So I spent 8:30 till 11:30 packing and lifting boxes with no trouble.
Connie I hope you're feeling better. What's that song -- It's a Hard Knock Life............. I think that says it all. Time for something good to happen for you!!
Just sent Maura an e-mail - told her I had most of my shopping done but I sneeded a wish list for her and Joe for small things, and to check Amazon and ToysRUs for a "big" gift for Taylor. I'm giving Maura some kitchen things, and I want to fill stockings with odds and ends for the three of them. And I am going to get myself an automatic car starter for my treat -- it's really cold tonight, and I'm dreading a cold winter - I don't want to have to go out and start up my car on the upcoming f.r.i.g.i.d mornings B.I.G. U.G.H.!!!
Have a good evening ladies - relax and take it easy!

Judy, I pray everything turns out with your mom. It is one thing after another with her. Poor woman. And then your own health problems. You need a good stiff drink. Just kidding, but it might help.
Carla sounds like your hands are full. I don't have any grandchildren having had a daughter who wants a career and to be free to travel wherever her heart desires. I feel tired on a good day. I could not imagine how wiped I would be hanging out with grandchildren. Oh well, it was not meant to be in my case.
My daughter will here next week for about 5 days. We are having dinner at Carla's. I offered to help financially, she asked me to help her cook. I used to cook when I was married, but that was a long time ago. Now I am a frozen dinner kind of person. There will be so many people there and if they get sick on the food I make I will apologize to them. Just kidding. Helping with the prep mostly.
This past weekend I too ate like I was a bottomless pit. Some days I feel not much hunger, and once in a while I cannot get enough food. Just once in a while. Still haven't eaten much sweets. I was so addicted to chocolate, cookies and ice cream and I don't want to go back to eating that way.
Yes the ex ex is still here. However he does put his shirt on when he comes into the common area. Eww. Just eww. My belly wasn't that big when I was 9 months pregnant. I told him the dangers of being a senior with all the weight carried in the midsection. It's his life and we are all done talking to him.
Sending all my love,
Arlene
Cindi and Ladies,
Well, I am at my wits end with my daughter. She is really pushing me, and she knows that I will ignore her for a little while but when I have had enough, she will get her ass chewed and that will be that. I told her not to text me if she was only going to try and pick a fight because frankly I am not going to let her ruin another holiday. So, I had to go to my MS doctor today so he could give me a double shot of the autoimmune medication (I've been on steroids so my dose was cut and now they need to get me back up) and I have to sit in his office for 45 minutes because it contracts my nerves which contract my muscles...all muscles and they need to make sure I am not like going to go into cardiac arrest...so I'm in the clinic, lying down, and she texts and is just so damn sarcastic that I just wanted to reach through my phone and slap her silly. DH texts her and tells her I'm getting medication for my MS and she says, well, good, maybe it will improve her mood...can you believe that. I'm home now and I am waiting to calm down before I send her the email that tells her to either get back on her medicine or stop talking to me...I swear.
My back is hurting so bad from that medicine...it's like labor pains and nothing stops it. I know tomorrow, I will be fine but for the next few hours, I have horrible back and leg cramps....damnit. All this so I can walk. ************
Connie, girl, I am so worried about you. I don't know what we can do to keep you safe...I want to suggest that maybe you could have the doctor order you some rails for your bed....just enough to wake you should you get too close to the edge.
My poor DH is sitting in his recliner sleeping soundly. I told him to go to bed but he says, no, I need to make sure you are okay.
Then, as if today couldn't have been any worse, my crazy sister (the one my mom said was dropped on her head) called and she asked, do you have mom's gravy bowl? Now, I was a child when my mother died and my two of my older sisters went in and cleaned mom out...there were no bowls or plates or anything left when they finished...no, I don't have Mom's gravy bowl. She knows I don't have it and she also is just doing that to try to engage me into some small talk. Her crazy ass, like my daughter, just sits around and tries to create drama. Just a couple of more weeks and the holidays will end and life will go back to normal...I can do this.
Judy, I really hope your mom is okay...since my mother died when I was just a child, I have no reference for what you ladies with living parents are going through. My sister that raised me is nearing 80 but she is as active as I. I know when my mother's sister got so bad with her heart and she was in so much pain, my cousin told me that she prayed that god would just take her so that the pain would stop. I imagine that sometimes that would be easier than watching the hurt and wonder if someone is there to take care of them...I don't envy any of you although I do envy the lives you've had with your moms.
Well, I am going to try a ho****er bottle on my back and see if this cramping will stop...I have a muscle relaxer that I can take but it knocks me flat on my rear end and I just hate being that relaxed...although DH says when I am that relaxed, I get a little amorous...Haha. With his prostate cancer, there will be no physical amore...that's for sure.
Ladies, have a good night and if your daughters are normal....thank the winds, your lucky stars, the gods, God, someone or thing...life with BPD is crazy...it's awful for them and even more awful for us....my poor grandkids...they have their phones and they call me if she acts mean toward them but my 17 year old grandson is there and he says Nana, she only hates you....how sad is that.
Hi Cindi and my OFF family:
Getting on here late. I was so tired today. I got up early but was just too tired to do anything. I actually took a 45-minute nap from 11-11:45 am. Eventually I got going and went to the chiropractor. He helped me with some of my pain, especially the right shoulder ... then he put me in the massage chair, where I could have fallen asleep. Picked up a couple things at the store for dinner and came home. Gary made pork chops, au gratin potatoes and veggies. Now I'm full and tired. Just doing laundry. Gary and I will watch a Christmas movie later.
Vickie, glad things have settled down a little for you.
Cindi, I know I'd be fighting my mom on the thermostat.
Judy, sorry to hear about your mom. Your brother should tell her she's going to the ER, not let her make the decision.
Connie, take care of yourself.
Can't remember everyone, I'm so tired and spacey. I feel a nap coming on.
