I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
what constitutes a biological child ,
what laws , crime , and prison are ,
why lying and cheating are so destructive ,
educational recreation as opposed to mental masturbation ( hollywood ) ,
respect for laws and law enforcement .
he,s going to have a lot of questions and the answers i give him should reinforce each other to a degree that makes my every future statement believable without much further ponderance .
i trust our judge . while im cleaning shttrs in the forestry hes filing and winning lawsuits against indiana cps and relative legislators .
its started raining here too , gonna turn to ice and snow .
it reminds me of a former buddy's grandma . she always said that if not for the valleys , ther'd be no peeks .
that was the grandma who was raised ( pretty poor ) in rural kentucky during the great depression . she said their lives werent affected one bit . LOL
Keep the faith! It’s going to happen. Three years old? What a precious age!
Do you mind if I ask you if he looks like your son? Do you see your son in your grandson?
I bet he’s adorable and smart too! Kids are so smart!
im a little face blind where males are involved but most people claim he looks like jake . the dna has been done so theres no paternity question .
i think the judge knew all along that i wasnt going to push the grandpa issue until the kid was a little older . an old man with a shttn , squawking infant probably isnt the greatest match ever conceived .
got plenty of firewood in and some btchn snow tires on the truck . i feel quite justified in cracking this cold beer .
My grandfather was larger than life to me. I can’t imagine not having him in my life as a kid. I lost him when I was a teenager. He was a smoker. Old school smoker for a long time. I remember him buying tobacco and rolling his own. Then later on he switched to buying them. His smoking caught up to him and he had emphysema in the end.
Grandpa was always thin. He worked hard all of his life. He made the best candy! He made pralines and peanut brittle.
His favorite cookies were ginger snaps. Isn’t it funny how we never forget these things. The man had a sweet tooth that went down to his toes but he never gained a pound!
Stepped right on top of it and somehow hit the pavement pretty hard!
Landed on my right knee and right hand. Scraped my hand but did not tear my pants or hurt my knee.
This sweet couple ran over to help me. Hubby was a couple steps ahead of me so he didn’t even see me fall.
I felt like an idiot! But accidents happen, right?
No long line to vote though, since we went early.
nick is going to be here some day and i think he'll like what he sees and feels .
Keep talking.
and we are still here for you.
That ride tomorrow sounds like an E-ticket ride at an amusement park.
There are choices. With your newest cell phone comes the opportunity to
sign up for UBER, or whatever you have in Canada. You can meet your BIL there. An app for a ride or even a taxi, (also taking your chances), can at least offer you those choices. This can make you feel more independent and in control.
Please check in on the exercise thread, and use your exercise videos-they were an excellent recommendation!
Drink lots of water, even though it is cold. And heating can make your nose dry and uncomfortable.
Time to read a book, unrelated to your treatment.
Tell us, let it all hang out.
Circle the arms, move your feet.
I just need to distract myself for a little bit longer.
You’re always on our mind, in our hearts and prayers. You and MidKid inspire me so much.
In spite of needing others to lean on, you and MidKid have reached out to others during your own challenges. No one would blame you, if you put all of your energy into yourselves right now.
I have always felt that going through pain ourselves, will either cause enormous compassion because of experiencing and understanding what others are going through. Sometimes it may cause bitterness and resentment or even a combination of compassion and resentment.
There is fear and a horrible feeling of uncertainty. Fear can be crippling. The anxiety of not knowing is the worst.
Talk about testing our faith, huh? Then there is blocking out or even denial. A whole slew of emotions, right?
No matter what you have felt or will feel please know that we care. I would never tell someone that it was wrong to feel a certain way because I think we go through various stages and it’s normal.
There’s no right or wrong reaction. We go through whatever process needed to survive.
We are not carbon copies of each other and experience things individually, as it should be.
I sure hope you did not read the tea box wrong, it comes in the flavor
"Feeling smoothed"?
Maybe give some to BIL before the drive. The feeling soothed, I mean.
Many hugs. You’re right. You’ll get there even if all you can take are baby steps right now.
At times I wish he could retire but I think people overall are happier when they are productive and working.
I sometimes think about getting a part time job since I am no longer caregiving to my mom. It’s been a huge adjustment since mom moved in with my brother and SIL.
I am definitely relieved but also feel like I need something more to fill the hours. Something in addition to volunteer work.
There has got to be something to undo all that caffeine.
Some say gradually cut back on caffeine consumption. Replace with herbal tea and lots of water.
Exercise is a great energy booster! I ride my exercise bike for thirty minutes a day. Walking is also good. Work in some strength training for toning and maintaining muscle mass. Yoga is wonderful too.
Coffee/caffeine does have some benefits. Like anything else, overuse has it’s drawbacks.
