Its early...Wednesday!!!

Good morning Indiana! I am up late or early, whichever! Mendi- hope you have a smooth surgery today. I will be thinking of you! Good luck- you are on your way! WOOHOO!! Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather. it was so nice today! Sherri and Angie, hope all is going well, miss ya! I am getting in the end of my semester for my classes and preparing for my upcoming PS! My nerves are a mess! Just want everyone to know that even though I haven't been posting I am here daily and keeeping up! With all of the school and PS going on, we are also dealing with some more issues with our son! It is very tough and trying! I have been sabotaging myself and know that this is not healthy and need to change things! My emotions are playing havoc, so I have been staying away for a while! I need to be here for support, but I also feel others are having far more serious issues- ex. Jodi, Bill, Angie/Ed, Ellen, etc., don't get me wrong, I love them all and hope the best for them! I just have never been one to ASK for help and quite frankly don't really know how! It is tough right now, I am scared and not sure what to do! Please just keep my son in your thoughts, he is a GREAT kid, but he is not making wise choices and being that he is an only child I am not sure of the reasonings, being peer pressure, experimenting, depression, anger, teenager, boy, etc! Sorry to ramble- I am off of my soapbox! Hope to see everyone soon and look forward to meeting some new faces as well! Hope everyone has a great day! Darrah~ Your new avatar is beautiful! She is precious! Hugz Dawn

Dawn- Just want you to know that I am still praying for your family and thinking positive thoughts for you. I know how hard dealing with these types of issues can be. Have faith and never give up! Take solace in some spare moments and get some exercise in! That will help so much, for so many different reasons. It can really clear your mind and take away the stress. When you feel better you can be a better parent! Blessings, Carmen

Dawn, go ahead and share your problems if you need to. I have the feeling there is more than enough support around here to go around. We care about you. Today is Wednesday. I went and did weight lifting last night with my trainer. My son wanted to come along. So he watched. I think he was proud of his mom. Tonight will be water aerobics at the Y. I am trying to get rid of my last two pounds before one-derland so hard. They just seem to want to stick. It hasn't been a horribly long time, but I'm anxious to get rid of them. Linda Vicory

Dawn, Darrah, Ellen..and everyone else, Good morning. Obviously, I've been keeping up with what's been happening on the board (just ask me about Peru...lol!). Alot has been happening lately so that like Dawn, I just haven't posted about it all. Sometimes I feel like every post I start is me being concerned about something. I am ready for some care-free days! So..here's the update on some of the stuff.. Bill's eyesight is improving though so that's a very good thing! It's difficult for him and he's not so readily to say 'it's better'..but I got a funny fowarded to me from him the other day so I know he can see a little bit of his pc monitor anyway and that is a HUGE improvement over not being able to see a finger held 3" from his nose. This afternoon is the court date against my sister. Dawn, you are so lucky to have a relationship with your sister. I thought I did with mine and here she was just using me for $. Inside, this whole thing has me torn up. I know I have to look at it as a business transaction though, and that is difficult. That whole bunch down there (my sisters, my brother, my mother) all put the 'DIS' in dysfunctional. Some day I should write a book! It would be enough to make anyone appreciate the family they have. Cindy hates to drive in Indy...so she'll bring Becky with her. Becky is a smart-mouthed little ******! Yes..Becky is my 'sister' too. I doubt if my mom will come with them...but it wouldn't surprise me if she did either. Considering 2 of the checks I wrote to pay Cindy's bill's off was for debt she owed to my mom, Becky, and my grandmother, I don't think it would look good if either of them did show up, do you? My brother won't come. Too much like effort. But then again, none of them may show up. Cindy doesn't seem to think that her owing me is leggally binding...even though SHE had it put in her divorce papers in order to stick her ex with half of it. I'm sure she doesn't think I'd have a copy of those though. Anyway, I have spent most of my time alone going over and over in my head of how to explain it all to the judge today. A month of worry for 10 minutes of discussion in court! I've been continueing to have problems with my foot. My daughter woke up with a pinched nerve in her neck so bed-rest for a week (plus vicodin, muscle relaxed, anti-inflammatories). I have my first 'documented' fungal infection for my belly button...had to go to the immediate care over it Saturday. And work has been a bear! Friday, Bill has his next eye check. I guess that's the highlights... Oh..next week, I'm suppose to be on jury duty so gotta call each night and see if my group has to come in. That makes it hard to know what to do about my work projects! On Tuesday, Bill and I have dentist appointments..ouch! On Thursday afternoon, our lab group is working on a house for Habitat for Humanity. Clothing exchange is the 28th...right? My MIL has been giving me bags of clothes to bring. Dawn...I hope you are able to find some help for Markie...and some peace of mind for yourself. At least he is young and has two parents who are attentive toward his needs. He is far ahead of other teens. I feel for you hon. I know the headaches & heartaches a son can give to his mom. Ellen...how's Amy doing? I think about her little situation and wonder how I would handle it if I were in your shoes. I hope I never have to see. Carmen & Floyd....Happy Re-Birthday!! I hope all of you are having a good hump day. Think of me this afternoon...k? Sherri
