Nita, do you have to have surgery on both wrists? Glad to hear your test come back negative for both. How are the hearing aids working out for you too?
Terri, If I think of anything else I will let ya know. She will find her nitch and she will be happy and so will you.
Terri, Thanks for telling me that. I guess I really needed to hear some encouragement. I feel kinda sad tonite. kinda overwhelmed to say the least. Tomorrow my mom will be gone 5 mos.10 mos ago I lost my job. i feel lost sometimes. in 2 days I find out whether I can go look for a job, and if the Neurologist thinks I can do this. Every day i wake up to see if the numbers on the clock still show up, that means the power co hasn't shut us off.... Yet
I wonder where I belong... I feel blessed I have my kids, my hubby, and you my dear friends. I know that there is a blessing behind each of my troubles, I have been very distracted lately, can't seem to get settled down to sew, and I feel like I am keeping some people waiting because I can't seem to get my squares done for the various quilts I am working on for the various groups I am in. I still haven't finished pillowcases i have started. But I know this sense of despair is short lived and things will clear up soon. and I hope I find my library books before I have to rob the money tree from a tree that isn't there. But everything will look up in the morning
@ Marcy.. I hope you can do what you said you would like to do with your money. I got money from my mom and it seems that I did accomplish somethings, but not what I had planned.. totally.. When we got our taxes back, we had said many things we would like to do, but the list kept changing. I don't know what we accomplished but I do know we spent money on crap we wanted at the time, stuff we needed, but could have waited on. Instead of paying on the electric bill. The stupid lady from the power co told my hubby , that even if we had paid the back stuff, our monthly bill be still be almost 550.00. Well even so, at least I wouldn't be worrying about it as much. But I know that we aren't the only ones in this jam, there are others. I will put it in God's hands, and sleep on it tonite, the sun will come up tomorrow, and things might be a bit brighter....good note my sweet friends. sleep tight.
Oh he did get things straightened out, thank goodness.
Blondie, thank you for the advise about the chief thing. I did not know that. I am hoping she is legit,sp, and hopefully she is truthful. I have faith that she is though.
I am excited, I do believe next month we will be getting our inheritence from my aunt and uncle. I hope we sure can use it. I have plans, depends on how much it is, I am going to give some towards the trailor, the more money we have towards that and won't have any debt. As it looks now, we will have to take out a loan for some of it. But if I get enough from the inheritence I will give it to him or what I we may do is the money we have saved up for my school he can just use that and I will use my money for my school. I am hoping we get enough that I can give him half and I will put the rest in my savings to save to go to Hawaii next year. Although, I really need to lose weight and would like join a gym or something to help me. I was thinking Hypnosis but not sure how it works and would hate to spend that kind of money and it not work at all. I am sure I will figure something out. Then when we they sell thier house we will get more but I will be happy with whatever we get. I would rather have my aunt and uncle with us but that can't happen now.
Marcy and Blondie and Terri? Check out my family haiku in the Japan group. It is kinda cute.
I took care of the dilemma of inviting kids from class to parties. When Ty was in elementary school, each year I made him fat cookies ( made from cake mix, 1/2-3/4c water and 2 eggs. dropped on cookie sheet bake 9 minutes@ 375. frost and decorate) Of course each year I had to add more cookies because the little darlin' took one to each of the teachers he had in prev. years, along with the principal, secretaries and the nurse. Even when he was in 6th grade and still at the elementary school, we did this, It made him happy, took care of the problem and that's all that matter'd and it was cheap.. 2 boxes of cake mix, frosting and sprinkles. plus all his friends could celebrate with him. This stopped upon graduation and progression to middle school. Speaking of Tyler and his birthday.. it is 9 mos to driver's permit.. hi-lights here I come. the grey hairs are starting to peek out.
