Hello Sunday! How ya doing?
Ya know Margaret,
I was already gonna post about the fall and when I saw your post, I wondered if I should, as I didn't want to worry anyone; but I think you are smart not to do that alone....wait till someone knows your up there or even till someone can hold the ladder. Tom was darn lucky...and he could of been hurt so much worse.
Take Care,
Cheryl

We never touch people so lightly we do not leave a trace.

Hi Margaret, I am Mickey. I don't know if I have met you. I don't get on here as much as I use to. Tomorrow it will be my 3 year surgiversary. I can't believe it has been that long. I have been able to keep my weight off all this time. But I can tell it is getting harder to make the right decisions. For some reason, the cravings for sweets is harder to pass up. I have stayed away from the sweets up until 3 months or so ago and even though they make me feel sick (I end up going to bed to sleep it off) I still think I need to try something when it is put out in front of me. It must be the holidays. I bought a nut mix yesterday and hopefully that will satisfy my munchies. And at least it is some protein.
It is snowing here this morning. It has been doing something raining, sleeting, snowing the last couple of days. Today I think we might get some ground cover, it is sticking.
I got some Christmas shopping done on Friday. No, I did not get up early but I did get in on the early sales. You had to get there before 1 pm. My grandson's gifts are taken care of.
Tell me what you all think about this. My daughter and her husband are trying to adopt this little girl. It is a long story, but it is somebody that my sister-in-law has been taking care of because her mom is not a fit mother and her dad has been in jail. They are going through all the things they need to do that the state requires, but there is no guarantee they are going to get the little girl. Now all of a sudden the dad is out of jail and he has decided he wants the little girl. The little girl doesn't even remember him. Where has he been the 7 years of her life. Supposedly he has a good job and is trying to straighten up. Now should I feel good that he is trying to straighten up and hope this is just not a 6 month clean up so the judge will grant him parental rights. Or should I pray that the judge will not give her to him. My thoughts are what is a man who has not been involved in her life (if she can't remember him, I would say he hasn't been involved) going to do with a 7 year old girl.
I know parents come first, but in my heart I am thinking what will her life be like if this is a "well we will try this and see what happens" attitude. Her life has been a mess, except for the past 1 1/2 years that my sister-in-law has been taking care of her.
If this adoption doesn't work out, my daughter says they will go ahead and try to adopt another, but we have grown to love this little girl and we want the best for her.
Well, I guess that is all I have for today. I need to get ready for church.
Have a good rest of the weekend.

mickey-wow- it is no secret that i was adopted and found my birth mom and then my dad...wow--my heart says that even tho he is bio dad, he should let her go to a loving home- maybe ask for visitation on rare occasions as she grows up-or be intro' d as an uncle--but i think the best thing is for a solid home-
if the court does give dad his custody then i suggest that you and your family can still be part of her life as "aunts and uncles" or special angels ....
i often wish that i had grown up with my mother yet i look back on her life as she has described it and i thank God that she (was forced to) gave me up to allow me to have a better attempt at life.... ( she was 14 dad was 17 this was in 1954 folks)...whatever complaints i have of life now are from choices i made as an adult-choices good or bad....
that is my 2 cents and it won't get ya a phone call or a cuppa coffee but you asked....

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Thanks Margo, I agree that the dad needs to let her have a family. Actually, my sister-in-law has grown the most attached. And this is going to really upset her if it turns out he gets her and especially if he will not let her keep in touch. And the little girl is soooooooooo attached to my sister-in-law. The first stable relationship she has probably had. We don't get to see her much because right now she lives in another state.
I am not saying the guy can't change but it bothers me that she didn't even know who he was or what he looked like. So that means he was never around for her. It could have been the fault of the mother, who knows.
I just have to pray that whatever is best will happen. And I have to pray that my daughter and SIL don't get discouraged and will still have their own children or adopt someone else.
Take care,
Mickey

Good Sunday morning, Margaret and my other OFF brothers and sisters. I am praying that everyone has a wonderful and safe day today.
I am so glad that Creena is doing better, Margaret. I know how frustrating it is when your furbaby is sick. You want to do something for them but there isn't much you can do other than give them their meds. You just have to let nature take it's own course.
Eileen, I know when we hung up last night you were really showering Diva with the positive attention. I hope that if she gets enough of it she might knock the crap (pardon the pun) off.
Nothing much is happening here. I usher at church this morning but I would rather stay home. I have a sinus headache and just want to do the vegetation route this morning. But I guess I can do that after I get home from church this morning. Oh dear! I just can't wait to get home and do nothing at all.
We are suppose to get 3-5 inches of the dreaded white stuff today. It looks like it going to come any time now. It is really drab and dark today. there is some snow on the grill cover but I don't see any in the air.
Misty is acting like a kitten this morning. She has been running and jumping around like she lost her right mind. Well, really and truly we all know that she has lost her right mind a long time ago. She has a new favorite place to sleep now. Bill has a flat memory foam pillow and she has taken a liking to that. Or maybe I should say a loving to it. Every spare moment of the day is spent laying all curled up on it sound to sleep. She even goes on it when Bill is sleeping. She has never done that before ever. I am seeing so many more changes in her as the days go by. She is becoming so much more loving and more of a companion to both of us. I just love her so much and I don't know what I would do without her.
I guess I should get moving. I have to leave in a half hour and I need to put on my 20 pounds of make up so I look presentable. I am sending love and hugs to all and special prayers going up for all. Have a wonderful and blessed day and don't forget to enjoy where you are today since that is where God wants you to be~even if you aren't to happy to be there!

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
Good morning Margaret and OFF!
Well, I was up at 6, got dressed and took laptop to $4 for chai and breakfast. Got there about 7 and after trying unsucessfully to get online left about 8:15, but did have 3/4 of a piadini and a chai so not a total waste! Certainly looks like snow in NW Ohio, gray sky and all. The garage is pretty well done, but now is a little more cluttered again as Matt and I got down the Christmas decorations last night when he stopped by. Now I just have to get the inside cleaned up and decorated! EEEEEEKS!
Will be spending time today doing some work for Planned Pethood and my personal budget for 2009. I HAVE to get myself back on track and get into cost conservation mode. Has to be done, period, the end, bottom line, finite!
The wild kitties are still ever so skittish, I really thought they would be coming around a bit more than this, but perhaps they never will, I don't know. I got this room spruced up a bit, new litter, scrubbed the floor and straightened up a bit. Looks much better now. It needed it.
Must go let the barking dogs back in before my neighbor has a coniption! Have a good Sunday all!
