Thursday clicks done.
K'ly, I don't know what I'd be doing under these conditions either, probably probably the same thing Peggy is doing.
I don't know what to think, I got a email from Peggy's email at work saying she will be out of the office from March 6 (last Friday) until March 16th, which is Monday...DB didn't know that, I'm sure, because he was upset that she hadn't come out of the bedroom Monday or Tuesday!
She went out to my mother's last Thursday night and took mother to her doctor appointment on Friday, then came back home afterward. The one thing she is doing right now, is taking care of our mother, which makes me feel pretty bad that I'm not able to do it and Peggy is having to do all of it!
On top of everything else, stepfather, who is losing it (my mother has major dementia) rapidly, evidently hasn't been paying their bills like he should...although he will stand in your face and say he is taking care of everything! DB got a call yesterday saying the electric company was going to turn off their service (after 25 years with the same account) the account was 6 months behind, almost $500, so he got all that taken care of and now is going to get the bills set up to pay them on line from now on. I fear they both will have to go into a care facility very soon. Mother half the time doesn't know who SF is, and doesn't like him at all! If it weren't so sad it would be funny.
Here's a funny sign for you: I have kleptomania,
but when it gets bad,
I take something for it.
And another one: Red meat is not bad for you
Fuzzy green meat is bad for you.
ba-dump-a-dump and thats all folks, and thanks for reading!
clicks done! ladies have a good day!
Vj glad to see you are keeping a little humor in the face of all the sadness!! I like the kleptomania one! How bout this one-
I used to have superhuman powers
but my therapist took them away!
or
I hear voices-and they don't like you
ok thats my donation to the comedy for today! Gonna SNOW today- grrr I wish it would go away til next year!!
TGIF, except it is Friday the 13th. More rain here today, we needed rain, but really all of it within 3 days! Oh well, shouldn't complain, just be thankful we got it!
DB says Peggy's office (a huge real estate law firm, she is a paralegal) told her to take the week off, they are working 17 hour days on a big case and felt it wouldn't be good for her to put in that many hours. I just hope she will get out and do something fun and not just stay at home in the bed.
Okay, heres a little piece of useless information:
At five minutes and six seconds after 4 AM on the 8th of July this year, the time and date will be 04:05:06 07/08/09.
And, here is a truth: Whatever hits the fan will not be distributed evenly.
Good morning Ladies! We got 4 inches of snow last night!!!! Can you belive it? The day before yesterday it was 77 degrees outside. I do love the snow I just wish it could snow and be 77 degrees at the same time!! It seems the cold is really causing me to hurt this year! We went out at midnight and had a snowball fight that was fun!!!It was short though my back couldn't take being out there running around in the snow.
VJ at least Peggy works somewhere that they care about her. Most places would say suck it up and work or get out!I am very disappointed at the way the company I work for is treating me now that I am hurt.Especially since I got hurt due to thier negligence. I guess I was nieve to expect any kind of loyalty from the State of Kentucky. I never wanted to sue them I just wanted to get better and go back to work. They have pretty much forced me into a lawsuit. I miss my clients and my job I want to go back to work! 
have a good day! Clicks done!!
Oh I forgot I posted a new cake pic the other day.
Saturday clicks are done!
Still raining here, getting very soggy, but at least it isn't snow!
Yes, Peggy's employers have been very good to her, but then they work her butt off when she is going at normal speed! Sorry your experience hasn't been good, lildeby, seems like more often it turns out like that. Good luck with the lawsuit, and hope you win and get proper compensation for your injuries.
Thanks Vj! Where is everybody this weekend?Hope to see them back soon.We are now getting rain but the rain is so cold it's barely melted the snow overnight. Supposed to start warming up today.
Yesterday I got bit on the face by a spider. The whole left side of my face is swollen up and hurts. My DH is also sick. We had to skip going to my mom's for her birthday! Then when I talked to her she said "Did you really not make me a birthday cake?" I felt so bad! She wasn't having a party or anything so I didn't figure she wanted a birthday cake.Maybe I should whip her up something today???
Have a good day!!

I can't believe that I haven't posted since Tuesday. It has been a busy week. I had appointments with the baby on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Friday was grocery shopping day. When I have appointments in the first half of the day, that takes up the time I usually do house stuff. Our 12yr daughter (she is on the Autism spectrum) gets home at 2pm and someone has to be here to get her. So....if it doesn't get done before she gets home, it usually doesn't get done. With homework, fixing dinner, making bottles....the evening is gone before I know it.
I am also a huge college basketball fan and tournament play has started. Next week March madness begins. I love/hate this time of year. I love March madness.....but I hate that when it's over I have to wait till late fall for basketball season to start all over again!
I hope you all have a great day!

Sounds like everyone has had a full week and now here we go again. 
I'm supposed to make cookies for St. Patrick's Day and this morning realized that it's Tuesday. The week hasn't even started and I'm already behind! 
Have a good Sunday!
Seems like I ahve been making alot of cakes lately! I did make one for my mom yesterday!(Posted the pic) I enjoyed making it though. My mom doesn't like fondant so I actually sat down and made buttercream roses and all.
Clicks done hope everyone has a good day!!!
You made your mom a beautiful cake, lildeby, know she loved it (I sure would have too!) What a good daughter you are!
Ohara, if I had a newborn in my home, I probably wouldn't even know what day it was, I'd be in such a tizzy. That has to be fun as well as a lot of work though, to have a sweet new baby to hold and cuddle!
Hope the rest of our "girls" manage to get back here soon, we miss them all.
And so it is Monday again, and clicks are done. Hope it is a good week for everyone.
Janice your right, it is so great to hold him. You would think that I would "out grow" having a baby in the house, but I just don't seem to! In another couple of weeks he will start smiling, that is my favorite part! Right now he is responding to my voice and starting to track with his eyes. It is amazing to me, how fast they develop and change.
lildeby great cake. I agree with Janice, I'm sure your mother loved her cake!
Here's to a great week!

... sometimes the hurrier we go the behinder we get (I read that somewhere)...
I think I'll print that out and put it on the fridge!
Glad you got to make your mom a cake, Lildeby, it's lovely. I've never made good roses. They always look like cabbages.
Awwww, Ohara. That's so sweet. My heart just aches at the thought of having a precious little baby in the house. I wouldn't know what year it was, much less day!
VJ, any word on your SIL?
Clicks for Monday!
Clicks done!
Thanks for all your wonderful comments ladies! My mom did love her cake unfortunatly she was too tired too really enjoy it. My uncle had a heart attack on her birthday and she spent 13 hours in ICU with him. They still don't know if he is gonna make it but at the very best hey are saying he will have a tracheotomy when he wakes up and will be sent to a nursing home for continuous care when he gets out of the hospital. He is only 56 yrs old. He is morbidly obese though and he has emphysema.All because of his weight!!
Ohara I wish I could have a baby in the house. I wish I could just have Ethan back in the house! Kids are great they are brutally honest but they just put a light in your heart and you know thier love is unconditional!! I miss having children/babies around!
Have a great day ladies!
All my clicks are done.
Things just haven't been worth writing about from here lately. Some stuff going on with my ds, too involved to post, but its getting me down.
SIL is not going to her job, not doing anything at all. DB says she hardly comes out of the bedroom, and he is at a loss what to do. Obviously she is depressed, but won't go talk to anybody about it.
Sorry about being such a downer.
Janice don't ever feel like your being such a downer that you can't post how your feeling or going through. We all need to vent and express our feelings and have people listen and care...that's what friends do.
Another busy week...aren't they all. I hope every one has a good day!
Click
Very well said, Ohara!
VJ, maybe your SIL just needs a little time to herself.
I'm so sorry to hear about your uncle, lildeby. Hopefully he'll pull through.
I get on and lose track of time and forget to stop by and "click in." My DH is getting ready for a work-related trip. Getting all his stuff together and trying to keep from freaking out. He doesn't usually have to travel.
Have a good weekend. Prayers all around ladies!
I agree VJ thats what we are here for there is a reason we all chose this thread to check into and a reason we keep coming back. We are here to try to give you some support and when things are not so good for us we come in and talk about it as well. So don't you worry about being a downer!We all care and understand! Try to keep your chin up things will get better.I agree with honeydukes maybe your SIL just needs a little time!(Sorry there were alot of cliches in that statement.)
Clicks done ladies have a god weekend!
Thanks ladies, I truly do appreciate your support and being able to air my feelings on here.
SIl went to my mother's yesterday, it turns out that stepfather hasn't been paying any of their bills for a while, lots of problems for DB to straighten out. We knew he wasn't willing to pay the lady who goes daily to check on them, but had no idea he wasn't paying the other bills until this week. My mother told SIL that she and stepfather were newlyweds (they've been married 20 years) but that she doesn't love him. When I call there she talks to me, but usually I wind up feeling she doesn't really know who she is talking to. Very sad and depressing.
My DS has been borderline neglectful for a long time now, but it is getting worse, and we argued about it on Monday. I have not seen him since early August, and he didn't bother to even call me on my BD on the 21st. If I need some help, I have to specifically and repeatedly ask, he never voluntarily does anything.
A couple of days before Christmas my DIL called and invited me over, but it is so hard for me to go out, she said they would come here about 6 pm, bring dinner for me, and we would exchange gifts. (I would normally have gone to my mother's for Christmas along with DB and his family, but stayed home because traveling is so difficult these days.) About 6 pm she called and said "my time just got away from me" and she hadn't even made dinner yet. This, in itself was no surprise, I've heard this same excuse on several other occasions. She said it would be about 8 pm before they could get here. After thinking it over, I called her back and told her I was tired, hungry, and in paid, so I was going to eat something and go to bed. (Oh, one reason she was so busy, they were leaving the next morning for Okla. where her mother lives.)
I had not heard anything from them since then, and on Monday I called DS and told him I needed him to go to the grocery store with me, he said okay, and we had our usual discussion about he having to always ask him for help. In the conversation it came around to Christmas, and he said that I didn't want to see them. I told him that I didn't, that DIL had set it up, didn't show up, and called at the last minute with the story that I'd heard before. DS got mad and hung up on me for talking about DIL. I called him back and he wouldn't talk to me, hung up again. I called back a third time, he said he wouldn't listen to me talk about DIL, I said fine, I just called back to hang up on him!
So, I'm depressed, and not too sure why. My DB is so mad at my son! He says it doesn't matter, DS should not treat me the way he has been, but obviously son doesn't think there is anything wrong with his attitude.
My younger DS lives in Florida, and he always, always, defends his brother, so when I told him about this episode, he also got upset with me. I've said it before and I'll say it again...with kids like mine, I don't need enemies.
So, on Tuesday, I stiffened my backbone and took myself to two grocery stores and did my shopping, which was good (some of the stuff is still in the car right now though.) As far as I'm concerned both of my DS can take a flying leap!
Thanks, once again, for listening to my sad stories. I'm actually trying to just be mad, not depressed!
Got my clicking done early today. It has been really warm and nice here this week, hope it is spreading and everybody else will warm up and improve soon.
Have a good weekend. Janice
VJ, that is so awful about your son and DIL. It's heartbreaking to hear they don't appreciate you.
I took care of my grandfather until he passed at the age of 102. It's only fair because he took care of me all my childhood (and into more than a few years of my adulthood, LOL.) He and I went to the store every Wednesday morning and later that afternoon we'd visit his baby sister in the nursing home. I never had a job that I couldn't take Wednesdays off -- period. I was there most days and I still wish I had spent more time with him. My DH knew my Papo came first. I could never be with someone who didn't understand that. My DH is a sweetie, though, and he loved my grandfather. Until the day he died, he mowed the yard and plowed his garden with a push plow.

He was quick as a whip and sly as a fox and I miss him every single day.
Wish I lived closer to you, VJ. I miss going to the store on Wednesdays. 
Janice, I also am sorry about your kids. People who don't take care of the mothers make me so mad. I would give just about anything in this world to have my mother back to spend just one more day with her!
I agree with Honeydukes, I wish I lived closer!
I do know how hard it is when people you love don't always realize it's you. My FIL, one of my favorite people ever, had lapses where he didn't know us, as he often went back to a time where none of us existed. I always felt so bad for my MIL when he did because she didn't exist then either, but his first wife did. It was so sad.
I'm sorry you are having to deal with all of this at the same time. I'm with you though, when my kids disappoint me it makes me more sad than mad.
Sending you ((((((HUGS)))))). I wished it helped more.
I hope things get better soon!

VJ I am so sorry! It pisses me off to hear children acting like that toward thier mother!! When I had surgery and couldn't get up my kids didn't like that I couldn't care for myself so they had to stay home but they did so and knew it wasn't about them but helping someone else!My DD gets mad at me when I say something about her b/f but she also knows I don't just say things to make her mad.Eventually she sees the light and she would NEVER DREAM of hanging up on me!!! To me that is the ultimate insult!!And VERY disrespectful! U want I should come and kick your DS and your DIL's butts and teach them a little about respecting thier elders!!!IT makes me very @$#*ing mad to hear people treat thier elders that way!
I too wish I lived closer to you and I could cook you dinner and help out!
Not to mention give you lots of hugs every day and let you know you are loved!!!
My DH went to atlanta yesterday he has a chance to make some money there. He will only be gone for about a week bbut I miss him already! He is having trouble adjusting to being here. The economy is bad and he can't find a job. He doesn't feel like he is doing anything but making it harder on me and that is not true! He helps me out alot! I just wish he could find a job so he would feel better about being here!
Cliicks done!! Lots of love ladies!!
Thank you so much for your responses, you all make me feel so much better, your understanding and kind words, and especially the hugs!
I did talk to my mother last night, she sounded more like herself than she has in months! That made me so happy!
Wow, if all of you lived close, I could go somewhere every day and not wear anybody out! I'm so glad you are here, and that we can talk to each other like we do, it makes such a difference for me.
lildeby hope your DH decides he can be more help at home with you than working someplace else, I know you love having him there.
Honeydukes, your Papo sounds like a wonderful grandfather, for you to love him and take care of him like that.
Ohara, losing memory and memories has to be the hardest thing to deal with. I know it hurts my stepfather too. With mother, when she forgets him, she doesn't like him, and fights with him!
You all have a wonderful weekend. Thanks again. Jan
