Kimses - congrats on the new job! What kind of work will you be doing? Don't forget that taking care of yourself comes first!

Good morning everyone! I slept a little better last night. Didn't wake up till about 3:30 with some medium-level hip pain, so it wasn't as bad as it had been. I have not walked in the last two days though, so I wonder if it's the medicine making my hips feel better, or if it's the exercise that is causing the pain in the…

Thanks for the pep talk on public speaking. I'm sure it will be fine. The room only holds 150 people. :# The others are talking about going out for a drink afterward, and to have dinner. It will be after 8:00, so that's too late for me to eat dinner, especially burgers and fries, and I am a militant teetotaler, so I don't…

Vicki, I'll bring the gunny sack if you bring the skillet. We can have a talk with Mr. Tom. It's LONG overdue.

It says there are 109 new messages since my last post! I can't hope to do more than skim through them at this point. Tomorrow night we are having a big meeting at the library to recruit new members for our art co-op. I'm scared to death! They want me to do some of the talking at the meeting. My topic is "What is an art…

Good morning. I couldn't sleep and finally got up at 4:30. Now I'm getting sleepy but it's too late now. My hips and back have been hurting again, worse at night. I'll call the doc's office today and see if they can increase my meloxicam or give me something else. Yesterday I went with one of my co-op friends to another…

Fran, I'm one of those who is trying to lose. I lost 132 pounds in about 2 years, but recently regained about 20, so now my new goal is 50 pounds to lose. I live in Pittsburg, too, but it's in Kansas. I bet you are colder there than we are. It's nice that your mom lives with you half the year. Does she live with another…

RonFrancis8, please tell me that profile pic is your dog! He looks so sweet! Tell us about yourself. What do you want us to call you? Where do you live? Stuff like that. Mary, since Shep's ear is so badly mangled, I'd be happy to take him off your hands. :D Hubby noticed today that Bruno no longer has pink spots on his…

Good morning everyone. It's another beautiful day here in Kansas. I cannot believe this is February! We hit 74 yesterday and promised 72 today. The kids are in shorts!!! I slept a little last night. I thought I did well, but the fitbit said I slept 3 hours total and restless or awake the rest of the time. But I don't…

I had a long talk with my next door neighbor tonight. She happens to be the principal at my grandkid's school. I explained the situation and she told me that tomorrow morning she will get the ball rolling and get child services involved. That way it will keep me out of the fight a little bit. She said he won't know that it…

I'm sorry to be such a broken record, but my life has hit the fence at the moment. My son refused to even talk to his kids yesterday, (he actually said he hated them) and today he says he wants them to come home tonight to stay. I don't know what to do! I'm so tense and stressed beyond belief. The kids were so happy this…
-
Good morning! I'm SO SLEEPY! Woke up at 4:00 and couldn't get back to sleep. Finally got up at 5:20 and got my shower done, then made lunches before the kids woke up, then made breakfast. That helped a lot in the frantic rush to get ready for school. In fact, we were a little early today. Now I'm sitting at my desk. Too…

I forgot to mention though, that my weight was down three pounds since this all happened. The kids were keeping me hopping!
-
Oh my gosh! The sky just fell. My son called to say that he is out of the hospital and left against medical advice, which may mean that his insurance won't pay. That's all he needs. He says he is too weak to have the kids so he wants me to keep them a little longer. I don't know how to tell him that they are better of with…

Good afternoon dear friends! I'm a much happier camper today. The kids are back at school at last, so I can try to resume my daily life. It's nice to have interactions with adults again. We had a co-op meeting today and it went well. We walked a block to look at a building that is three times the size of my gallery, so…

Hello everyone. I'm sitting in the public library. It's the first peace I've had all day. There wasn't any school today because of Presidents Day. I took the kids to the studio but they were too disruptive. I couldn't get anything done. So we went to the local wilderness trail and walked about 3 miles. My hips were killing…

Grits, this is the evil step mother in every sense of the word. She is an alcoholic, narcissistic, self absorbed, hateful individual. Supposedly she dried out and has stayed off the sauce, but I have my doubts. Since he's been in the hospital she has been alone with them, and I do NOT think she is treating them right. She…

Sorry guys, I just have a minute to write quickly. Today the you-know-what hit the fan with my son. He says the kids are being mean to Julie, the "wife", and she told him that the kids want him to die. He is on heavy duty meds and not thinking clearly, he's violent and mean. He says he has a serious blood infection and…

Oh, I forgot...DGS, who knows I had been in the Air Force, ask me if I was in World War One. I nearly wet my pants laughing.

Hello! What a day I've had! This morning I spent an hour at the studio, doing a few things that needed done, then to the hospital to see my son. Then I picked up the kids and took them for a visit. Then we went to an Indian casino near here where they have a herd of buffalo. The kids had never seen a real buffalo, and they…

Hello gang! I'm home at last! My son was moved to a regular room and he says he's feeling much better. The drug tests all came back negative and they did sort of apologize to him but still insisted that they had to make sure, because if they treated him for an infection and the problem was drug abuse then it would have…

I just got back to the hospital from lunch with hubby. My son is still in ICU, sound asleep. So I have no idea when they are going to move him. Hubby said he will go get the kids from school. That's nice because my head seems to be floating from stress and lack of sleep. My son had been seeing a pulmonologist here in town…

Well, things are looking up. They thought they would transfer him to a big hospital in joplin but he's out of the woods now so they are going to move him downstairs to a regular room. He's resting comfortably.
-
This reminds me of when my son was a baby and I used to sit by the crib and just watch him breathe. The sound of his breathing has become a lot more gentle, so a lot of my stress has eased up too. It really is the little things that mean the most.
-
It's 6:30 am. I'm sitting in the hospital ICU room watching my son struggle to breathe. He went into respiratory arrest about 2am and his wife called an ambulance. He's settled down quite a bit, as he was terribly agitated at first. I'm hoping he will fall asleep and get some rest, but they have all these machines going,…

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great day. I'm so sorry to hear about Michele! She is one who I always considered to be pretty indestructible. I hope she's not in too much pain. It has to be awful! Along with all the rest of what's going on. Poor thing! My son came to the studio today and glazed one of the yarn bowls…

Hello everyone. I just got home from a very long, tiring day. I woke up at 4:20 and couldn't get back to sleep, worrying about stuff. Got the kids to school, then dashed off to Kansas City to the Chrysler dealer to get some work done on my new van. The heater controller on the passenger side quit working and it only blew…

Katla, I don't drink at all, but the kindness the Budweiser employees showed to my friend Bernice made me a fan. I hope they know what good ambassadors they have. And their commercials are fun to watch, too.

Hello again. My son and the kids just left. Boy, am I tired! My son has not touched clay in more than 20 years, and then it was just one class at the college, and he came in here and thought he could throw a beautiful bowl. Well, needless to say, he got very frustrated. He was yelling and slamming things around. He…
