Edited August 7, 200917 yr by IndioGirl55

No Janet, my kids did not come over, but one called to wish me happy birthday. I had oatmeal for dinner. Not a big deal.

Morning Ladies, Hope you had a good night. Went to bed early, it was that or eat. I'm tired today, Oh well. I have a paper to finish tonight, so don't know how much I'll be in. Love you all.

Good Morning Peeps..

Drive by - I'm at work - never got here this morning ... Stayed up too late last night 11 p.m. - watching Idol then voting :0) - voted for 4 - Scotty, Casey, Pia, Haley - My fav 4 - I like James too - Paul and Tia can go - Like Jacob too but can't stand to watch him perform - Stefano - I like him too but not as an Idol ;0)

Karla - only one kid called wtf - you know Joseph didn't call me on Mothers Day one yr - well he didn't get a call or anything for his birthday - if you can't at least call and leave a message - then I guess I don't have a son - it killed me that yr on his bday - but I'll be damn - I wasn't going to acknowledge him if he didn't acknowledge me as his Mother.. Shame on them...

Well Phyl by tomorrow at this time you will be leaving for Cabo - are you flying out of PS or Ontario??

Linda - How's it going - your 2 weeks are almost up - what day is surgery - I don't remember you giving us a date..

Candice - What's on your agenda today..

Well gotta jam - cbtonite :0)

Oh Karla, I am so sorry to hear about your GF`s husbands suicide; That is just devastating for her... but you are a good friend... and that is what she needs right now... good friends to lean on. If I can offer a tich of advise, please let her know that HIS killing himself was NOT about HER.... at all.... Each person on this earth is responsible for themselves... beit getting on a diet for themselves, seeking a Psych. eval for themselves... etc... This SUICIDE is on HIM.... I pray that you can help her understand that she is not quilty of this... It was HIS choice.... albeit a bad one, and one with terrible ramifications for those left behind. He was ILL and in need of prof. help... he obviously chose not to do this.

I feel so badly for her.... my Dad committed suicide... and for many years I thought it was my fault, or I should have done something, or I should have been a better daughter......after much analysing... I finally came to the conclusion that it was hil illness ... it had absolutley nothing to do with me... then I was able to forgive him... I pray that your friend makes it thru this not her fault.

My friend 'knows' it isn't her fault, but her heart is telling her otherwise. She started counceling immediately. But I am not sure that she will ever get the sound of the gun shot out of her head. I don't know that forgiveness is going to happen any time soon, especially when we know he did it to hurt her. I can understand and forgive someone who truely feels they can't deal with life any longer, but someone who commits suicide to hurt someone else, I just don't know. There is no doubt he was ill, but does illness make you want to hurt someone?

Janet, yeah I am hurt by my kids missing the birthday thing. Needless to say, food hasn't been good. I'm hurt. Elyse has actually called me twice today, emailed twice, and not once said Happy Birthday and you know that I am just too stubborn to say anything, no one to blame but myself. The others...well, they have their lives.

But homework is almost done, and spring break starts tomorrow at 3:30, SO all will be fine.

You all have a good evening.

Okay... my post just went away! I am having trouble adjusting to this new computer. And it's VERY slow on the internet... sluggish would be a compliment! Don't know what's wrong, but this is just not acceptable and my new Outlook program won't send/recieve mail. Very annoying! May have to take it in to Best Buy when we get back and see if they can help me get this thing working right. My old computer is MuCH faster!

Fly out of P.S. @ 7 a.m. Neighbor, Ruthie is taking us to the airport, keeping Zoey and caring for Candy. Earl has been taking Zoey over every day to try to make the adjustment easier. She loves Ruthie, but we'll see how she gets along with her three cats!!!

Will miss you all while I'm gone! Jim is bringing his laptop, so maybe we'll share internet time... $15 a day. Back late in the evening on the 9th, Earl's birthday!

Phyl, have a wonderful time! We will miss you, but we know you will be partying with the best!!!

One more day and then no school for a week!! So looking forward to some unschool time. I'll still have homework for my masters class, but I can handle that. Maybe I will get out and dig in the dirt!!!

Have a great day!!!

Told Candy told you so- but I really appreciate the love and worry - Have a few friends who sorta worry about me living alone.. Mostly cuz my bro died home alone.. So I will not be putting my head below my heart - am feeling better today - but yesterday was the worse - I sure hope the stone/crystals hurry up and re-aline themselves.

I got a lot to do today - color my hair -pick up the house and I guess rest - Debbie suppose to come over to nite to watch movie - visit..

Phyl have a great time.

Karla - Please take care of yourselve - Best lesson imho is when their bday comes - just don't remember theirs - really I mean that.. Yes pple have lives - but a phone call is deserve..

Candice & Linda Hugs...

Darn cold one at work today, rained for most of it, but people were out and we sold a lot of trees, my favorite time of year!! Nice to come home and have a hot shower and tea, so laundry started, need to change the bed and then I can be a slug for a couple of hours after homework. Enjoy your movie!!

Morning ladies!! At least it isn't raining!!! Work today, then finish homework. I haven't hear from my friend since the funeral, I hope she is okay. Naturally I wish there was something I could do, but I know there isn't. I keep leaving her phone messages that she is strong and safe, hopefully it is the right thing. If you want to see a eagle nest with a newly hatch eaglet, hatched yesterday, go to : http://www.raptorresource.org/falcon_cams/ they now have two eaglets.

Anyway, Janet, hope you had a good evening with your friend. Oh I'm taking Elyse to her doc appt this week. Working on being supportive!

Good Morning Gang

Debbie stayed the night we were up till like 2 - she didn't call home to say she was staying - her DS was freaking yesterday morning lol - pay back is a bitch ;0) - She left around 8:30 - I went to marshalls got some candles and step stool (you know us short pple need them)

Target and then home to the t.v. - nap - clean - washed and ironed.. Feeling a whole lot better with these prescription meds..

Karla - We know you love your DD and once the shock wears off things will work themselves out.. Didn't even get on the computer yesterday - well did sort of got on e reader and posted happy bday to niece.. I just need some major down time and I got it this weekend..

Well back to work - I think I have this friday offf my FF

Morning! Working at the nursery, but is great not to be working at school, I am only working Monday, Wednesday, Saturday & Sunday, so I'll have a little down time to do some yard work!!! Can't wait.

Had a nice visit with my friend who's husband killed himself. She is doing okay. We avoided talking about the husband, but that is good. I was worried that I was being a pain, I called and left her messages everyday, but included that she didn't need to call back, just that I wanted her to know I was there. She let me know that it all helped and that she needs the support. We are going to meet for coffee on Tuesday.

Candice, where are you girl?

Janet, glad you had a good evening with your friend, yep she should have called home. But it is okay for the DH to worry a little.

See you all later! TTFN

im here, im here , just busy with SInging and Quilting!! Oh I`ve started on a new CHOP CHOP pattern and it is addictive... you can whip a quilt top together in NO TIME at all... wheeeeeeeee

Candice, what is the Chop Chop? I must have it!!! It sounds fabulous! I'd like to make a quick quilt for my friend whose husband committed suicide and that would be perfect. The sad thing is that her husband gave her a dog about 4 years ago and she can't bear to look at it, so she gave it away. Now she is wanting to sell the house. Her dad has her waiting at least a month to make a decision on the house, but she says she can't even walk into it. So sad.

Work today went well, got to do some potting, one of my favorite things, It was windy and cold, but better than August heat. I'm going to try my first apple tree this year, we will see. I go in for a fill tomorrow, yeah!!!

Anyway, have a webinar to do tonight so I don't know if I'll be back in or not. TTFN
