You do not sound like a broken record.  You are in pain and expressing it here, which is a really good thing.  That's why we're here for each other.
A mother's death is one of the most tragic events in one's life, in my opinion; write all you want and need to about your mother's death, memorial, your feelings, etc.  I'd be very concerned if I thought that you felt  you couldn't express your sadness here.
My heart goes out to you  -  my mother died when I was 33 and there are days when her death feels as if it happened yesterday.  I can't say that I understand your pain, but I do know the very sad loss of losing my own mother.  You will get through this and we will be here for you.
Love,
Margaret

Thank you Margaret. You are quite amazing you know. I didn't expect this amount of pain to tell you the truth. Ithought that it would be easy because she had failed so much and was 85. But you are right- she was my mother- she was my anchor, the one that loved me the most, no matter what. You can be sure that I do know how to grieve, and my experience with it is helping this time. I ride the wave instead of fighting it. Someday I would love to meet you. I'm sure that we would get along very well.
Love,
Julia

Julia, you are not a broken record. Feel free to talk about it. We are here for you. I sometimes sound like a broken record, too, talking about what's happening down here in La., and it's not nearly important as what's going on with you.

I have a feeling when my mom dies, it will be a similar memorial/funeral ... She is the last of her generation, the last of her family/siblings. Even the last of the family that married into my father's family. She is 87 and doing well, but I know she doesn't have many more years left. She drives us all crazy, but I love her just the same.

Please feel free to talk if you need to. I'm here and you know I stay up late.

Good afternoon Eileen and everyone.... 

Nothing exciting going on here. Was going to go to a movie last night but was too dizzy to drive. Decided to stay home today and rest when I can.

Wishing you all a great Sunday. Prayers for many in need....a special one for Julia and Morgan too.

Love and hugs to all...connie d

Hi Eileen,
I just got home from work.  I was reading your post when I was waiting for the call from my boss to let me know if I was needed, and she called me just when I was about to hit reply.  This weekend has been brutal for me.  I had not worked two full time days at this job yet, and this weekend was it.  Plus, I have a killer sinus infection, and was miserable yesterday.  I made some beginners mistakes at my job, and I am anxious about that, because I want to do well, and am still learning.  My boss was concerned about me this weekend to begin with.  I hope she is not overly upset about it.  I tend not to make the same mistake again, once it is caught.  I already called her voicemail and told her about it, because I could have corrected it if I remembered to go back to the unit these patients were on, but I was so tired at the end of the day, I just forgot.  I remembered it on the turnpike, so there was no going back.  At least I told on myself.

I am watching the end of the Phillies game, waiting for my Chinese take-out to be delivered, because I really do not feel like cooking, plus I am in the mood for some Chinese.

After the game, I will do some coupon clipping and knitting.  Tomorrow I get back to packing.

Hope your day has gone well.

Hugs,
Trish

Hello everyone,

My, this has been a long and exhausting weekend!  We did go to that outdoor wedding for our nephew yesterday, and it was just as hot and miserable as I thought it would be.  At 7 p.m., it was STILL 102 F, and get this:  they set up the chairs for the guests in the SUN!  The canopy for the bride and groom was in the shade--sort of, but the rest of us were broiling.  It was so bad that people were actually muttering things like, "hurry up" and "get it over with" under their breath throughout the entire ceremony!  I've never been to a wedding like that.

After the wedding, they herded us into the country club, where I thought it would be cool and pleasant.  But our nephew teaches at a junior college, and I don't know how many of his students decided to CRASH the wedding reception.  OMG.  There must have been 300 people crowded into there, and I guarantee you, there were not 300 people sitting out there in those chairs in the sun!  Instead, the students were all in the bar drinking up all the free liquor!  By the time the actual wedding guests got in there, the "free" bar was just about tapped out!

I actually felt very sorry for the bride's parents.  They ran out of liquor, they ran out of food, they ran out of cake, etc.  It was something else.

I did get quite a few compliments on my new skinnier self and dress.  I'll try to post some pics soon.  BUT, today I have been dealing with computer woes.  My hard drive on my laptop died.  I got some horrible virus and it fried my laptop.  Computer viruses are the work of the devil!  Truly evil.  I have ordered a new hard drive and system restore media from HP.  Should be here Thursday.

Tomorrow we are leaving for Lafayette and I have no laptop to take with me, only my internet access on my phone.  So if you don't hear from me over the next few days, that's why.

I could write more, but I'm so tired, especially of computers.  Signing off now.

Love you all!

Hi Eileen and OFF family...coming in here late and I am sure nobody will even read this so I will make it short...been working lots of hours and this old body of mine HURTS!!! Even my shins are killing me!! Feels like I am having charlie horses in my shins now at times...all I can say is OUCH!!!!!!!!! Tomorrow is anothe long ass day...830-5 and already I wonder if I will get just one break and a lunch or if I will get my second break like I should!!!

Went to the pool to try to relax but ofcourse the smart ass brats were in there and then the little brats came in then the even littler ones came in then the snobby little teenage ****ty girls came in and that was enough for us. We left to come home and just veg out here. Guess we will all be happy when it time for the pool to close for the season!!! New rules for next year are to be made and hopefully wrist bands or something to KNOW WHO BELONGS and who doesn't.

Ok I am out of here. Thoughts and Prayers for those that need them!!

HUGS

Judy-

Sometimes I get killer leg cramps from not drinking enough water.  Also when I need new shoes and when my back needs an adjustment.  With all the heat we've been having I would bet on the water.  Hang in there!

Cindi...I drink a ton of water...so it can't be that...and I also have new shoes...just had the back done not that long ago so it can't be that yet. I know its got to do with the arthritis in my back and as for the legs in the shin area I am not sure what is causing that. Just getting old I guess and working on cement.

HUGS
