What's Up Wednesday?

Good Morning OFF
I looked three times and did not see a What's Up?

I am babysitting for a friend this morning.  Adorable little Munchkin, born sometime in the Spring, just can't remember when.  Just put him down for a nap.

This afternoon, I get my iron infusion, the first of five.

Blessings and prayers for all,

Hugs,
Trish
 

Hi Trish!  Looks like it's just you and me so far today.  It's already 9:30 a.m. here, and still no one is posting.  Very unusual.

So, good morning all my OFF sistas!

Up and going strong this morning.  Got my little man and my big man fed, dressed, and they just went outside.  Whew!  Thank goodness!  Now to finish up the dishes, push through another load or two of laundry, and see what else I can accomplish today.

We didn't get to go back to the farm yesterday because I developed the headache from HELL and had to go to bed yesterday afternoon.  Boy, I miss my Advil.  Tylenol just don't do a damn thing for me.  And I hate to take one of my Rx pain pills unless I just have to.  They make me a little loopy.

So, anyway, we're headed out to the farm with the dogs today.  We'll leave Chris and Benny here.  I assume they can survive a day without us.  LOL.  I need to pack a picnic lunch since we'll be there all day.  It's cold this morning, but the sun is shining and it should warm up into the mid-60's this afternoon.  A pleasant day to spend at the farm.

Hope you all are having a very pleasant Wednesday as well.  Today is the last day of November.  Amazing, isn't it?  Time flies.

Love you all!

 Good morning Trish and everyone...

I don't want to get into it right now but I think I am going back to MN. My daughter.....nothing at all to do with my grandchildren. Very hard decision to make. I hate leaving the kids. But I can't put up with the crap anymore.

Prayers for those in need. Have a good day.

Love and hugs to all...connie d

Connie, I'm rooting for ya girlfriend, if you want to go back to MN, do it!
Coming to terms with knowing you can't take any more crap and it's time to move on...well don't feel guilty, just do it. I'm certain that life will get better for you soon my friend. You are loved here so just vent away.

Good evening OFF family, it's a quiet day here at work but I'm getting lots of extra stuff done.
Lost 5 pounds from the last time I went to the doctor. Slowly but surely I'll take this weight off but I'm not stressing about my weight anymore. It is what it is.
I've come to terms that I cannot exercise like I did before. I get kinks in my bowel and the pain I get is on a level 10. I just got to get back to my walking and working out in the pool.
Our Wellness program starts again in January so that is also a motivation to get my butt back to the gym.

Went and picked up my hubby's scrim saw (? spelling) today at Sears, they sure do have a nifty way to pick up when the order comes in. Then I went to a resale kids store and brought Holly some clothes and a brand new pair of snow boots. The babies sure to grow fast!

Hugs and prayers for all in need. Debbie

Oh, Connie!  Lord, girl, I understand about difficult daughters!  I'm so sorry you're having troubles.  Everyone here knows how hard you have worked to keep house and to keep Grace and to keep your sanity.  I'm sorry it's not working out like you had hoped.  But DebbieJean is right.  You are MUCH loved here and we support you no matter what.  You just post whatever you feel like posting.  We don't need to know all the details if it's too hard for you to write them.  I think we all understand enough to know it's not good for you there.  Maybe MN is the right place for you after all.

Love you!

 Connie, sweetie, I love my daughter immensely, but I could never live with her.  She and I are polar opposites, and when I do something that displeases her, she is very vocal and terse about it.  She is also highly critical, and totally not comprehending of my ongoing health issues.  When I was in Michigan, she kept making extremely negative comments about all the medications I take.  I am on three psych meds, two allergy pills, a water pill and coumadin daily, not to mention my pain meds.  I found her negative comments very upsetting.  

Another thing I did was put her sweaters into the dryer when I was doing tons of laundry for her.  She got so upset that I did not put them on the drying rack, I wanted to go home and cry.

When I told her I was retiring on Social Security Disability, she thought I was quitting my job to go on welfare, and asked what was wrong with me.  Well, I have severe bipolar disorder, and chronic pain in my back from several herniated discs.  I was hospitalized for the bipolar disorder almost two years ago.  I emotionally can't stay working a full time job, especially with the chronic pain, and I can't take narcotic pain killers due to my chronic alcoholism.  She has no empathy, or compassion.  She took after her father in that area.  

Sorry to go on and on.  I totally understand why you would want to move.  I know for a fact I could not live with my daughter.  I also know, I could not live with my mother.  I love them both dearly, but if we lived together, I would probably say or do something that would permanently damage the relationships.

Love you.

Hugs,
Trish

Hi Trish and my OFF family:

Trish, glad you're getting your iron infusion. I'm dragging today, too, but a good dragging. Kinda pumped about tomorrow, worried about finances ... how to pay rent, etc. Too many bills, not enough money.

If I stay here, they are going to make us take five furlough days next year again ... what a nice Christmas present. So hope I get the job and get out of here.

Spent $116 at CVS for prescriptions and a few other things .... doc called in the potassium twice, but oh well, now I have enough for two months. Mailed out my packages to my eBay buyers. Sold a couple more yesterday, too.

Well, that's all for me. Where is everyone?

Connie, sorry you are having so many problems. Too bad the situation with your daughter is not working out. Sounds like she expected you to be 24/7 chief cook/bottle washer.

Have a good day.
