I hate it when people post just to post.....
Thanks slim. I am going to go to one of the other temp agencies. Even though most have my online resume. I guess it is better to go in person than on line. The temp agencie I am through is kinda irritated with me today. They called yesterday afternoon and I accepted the job for today. Then I receive a call from my youngest DD. She told me to pick up #2 DD and take her to her house and for me to keep the DGC. That way #2DD can think without the kids around and SIL treating her like she is less than a human. So I call the agencie back and explain that a family matter has come up. Needless to say they are irate with me. I am even more irate with #2 DD. She changed her mind. So her I am today when I could have been working. But whose to say she won't go ahead and do that today. Mine is doing that. Hopefully it will correct itself in a little while.:cry_smile: Good morning all. Have a good day.:thumbup:

Thanks Ebony, That's whom I am thru now. (I am also a substitute teacher thru the city school system) My positions are over now. They don't have anywhere that they can put me right now. They are very tunneled visioned. They have only looked at 1 thing I can do. Not at anything else such as management positions. Balancing money, supervisory positions. All that they looked at was I could do cafeteria work. When I ask if they have another position they say no. I think they want to force me to take a temp position at the 1 factory they have on their roster. I know this factory and I can not stand in 1 place for 12 hrs. I have to be able to move around or my arthritis acts up so bad I can barely walk. I can be on my feet as long as I move around a lot. I don't know what to do. I am totally confused. Between no job and my DD and her situation. She might be coming back. I will do whatever I can to help her, but she has no job and her car needs to be fixed. SIL isn't going to fix her car anytime soon. Especially if she leaves him! I am sorry to sound so whinny. :blush:

Thank you So sorry Susan about your home problems. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I also snack at night. that is my downfall. Thank you Ebony. I think I got everyone. if not I am sorry I missed you. I have been out Job hunting today. Hopefully I will hear back from some place. I am desperate, I applied at fast food places.

Thanks everyone. My DD went back to SIL. I used to really love the guy. But over the last 2 yrs he has turned into a real jerk. He is getting worse. DD doesn't want to believe that mental abuse is as bad as physical abuse. I told her she needed to think about the kids 1st and not her and her hubby. But she thinks being with him is better. Like I told her, her dad was a low-life, but he never tried to bring the kids into our fights. (Even though I left when the kids were little.) If any man said what my SIL said to my DGS, to my kids, he would have very limmited visitation Supervised visitation (after picking his teeth up off the ground). I figured she would go back. The one thing I will do more, is every weekend when I have the boys, try to teach them that treating women like their daddy does is just as wrong as hitting them. Thanks all for letting me vent.

You hit it right on the head Steve. I love the way you put it.For some people it will be like a light bulb going off. For others they will keep sweating it because people don't read or listen to their Dr. or use common sence!

Have a safe and happy one. Remember our military and their sacrifices. This has been my hunger from nerves the last few days. It is a good thing I know it is head hunger and I have to fight it. Otherwise I would have given in! LOL

Hey everyone. How are you all today? it sure is slow in here today. Update on yesterday... I took my DGD to Sci-Quest. Her and I had a lot of fun. My DGS didn't get to go. My DD and her hubby was arguing and her wouldn't let the boys go. After when my DGD was on our way home my DD calls and tells me to come get her and the kids. She has had enough. There was litteraly a struggle over my oldest DGS. he was in the car on my DD's lap (there was no more room in the car with 3 car seats in the back) anyway SIL jusked open the door and jerked him away from DD. I feel so bad about what all he was told by his dad. he is going to be scarred for life. he won't know how to treat women unless we can get him away. SIL was telling DGS that when SIL's brother raped my DD that she liked it. That she was a whore and all sorts of other things. You don't tell a 9 (will be 10 in July) year old things like that. Then he had DGS laugh at her! The boy is afraid to not do what daddy say's because one time he stuck up for my DD and his dad didn't talk to him hardley for a month. My DGS told me he didn't like being at home because of it. So I know that is why he is doing what SIL tells him. Please pray that we can get my DGS away from him. That I have patience and how ever your heart is lead in this situation. I thank you all in advance.

Beth- yay for you in an 18 whoohooo fanny- love the new pic LJM- glad to see you posting here again. I know the baby is keeping you busy Hi Susan..I have missed seeing you too. Everyone else good morning. I had a great day yesterday with my DGSons and my DD (youngest) After I took the DGS home, my youngest took me out to eat for a late mothers day. She was sick on Mothers day and couldn't do any thing. We went to Beauregard's to eat. It is her favorite place. I couldn't make up my mind where I wanted to go so we went there. The waitress was so funny. She kept asking if I wanted something to drink. Then she watched me while I ate a little and kinda picked at my food. She had the look on her face of I know she is going to say something is wrong. She doesn't like her food. I could see the relief on her face when I asked for a 2 go box. Since I still had 3 quarters of my food left. I would have eaten more but I tried some of their fully loaded baked potato salad to see if I would like it. I did like it, but changed my mind on getting it and ate 1 of my daughters fried pickles. So I wasn't really hungry. But her face was so telling, it was quite commical. Today I am getting my 2 DGS and I have my oldest DGD. I am taking them to Sci-Quest today. They are free today! Yay! I won't have to spend anything but gas money today! Then they are all spending the night and church with me tomorrow. The boys almost allways spend Sat. night with me and go to church. My DGD I don't have to often so this is a treat. I got sunburned Thursday mowing the yard. I am surprized that I hadn't gotten burnt before now this year. But I am still stinging which is unusual for me. I guess its because I didn't put vinigar on it this time. Just Aloevera gel. I know I am rattling on. Sorry. Everyone have a blessed and safe Memorial Day weekend.

Donating 100 lbs of food is a awesome idea. I'll have to steel that one!:wink::mad2: Maybe I could donate the food I ate today. :eek: I have been on a kicker today and have eaten a lot of junk. Usually it doesn't even tempt me. But today it tempted and tasted good!:tt2: But tomorrow is a new day. I forgive myself for today. I know it won't happen tomorrow cause I won't be at DD's house most of the day like I was today.:smile: Good luck with the job Ebony. Hi Diva. Hello to everyone else.

What's on the Inside?
I have enjoyed reading your blogs. They remind me that this has many new learning curves. Even after 1 yr. I am still learning.

Almost a year
O.K. quit beating yourself up. Things happen. You don't make a habit of this do you? Sometimes you have to give in. Your human. Otherwise it might fester and get out of hand. I think 5 months without a fill is awesome! You have done a great job and will continue doing one.

Misleading billboard advertising lap band
Agree with what Beth and Luluc said. This did Not remind me of me pre band. Misconception about fat people. Not all of us took bites like that. Yes I am fat because I loved to eat. I ate to hide my pain. But a lot of people look at fat people and think that we eat like that with every bite. So maybe you did eat like that, but I didn't. So there you go proving my thought of misconception that all fat people eat the same way!
