One Step at a Time - November 2013

Well, this time I'm not on the sickie list but the dog is coughing up a storm!

Mama I swear your BIG sweater P is for PERSERVERENCE and Precious :l I'm so sorry you're sick- how miserable ...but in the bright side can you stay home from work now..K9 took off last week so it's only fair ...

K9 I wish I had wise words of therapeutic wisdom for you and Sierra...all I can say is your doing all the right things- there's simply no cut and dried answers to these situations. Hugging you both :l

Pauly you go right on speaking as much French as you need to sweetie !!

Getting every time I see your avatar I just think how adorable you look and you crack me up! And you are the BIG ONE MONTH AKA 30 Days tommorrow! Hows that for wonderful!!
:wd:
How was dinner with Brit? Those girls keep us hoppin, no?

Glass is there any way to post another pic of the wedding? I missed it on the other thread.

Liz I'm glad your feeling better. I think your doing great!
Dottie are you still sick? You need to climb into Nora's fort...oh wait we ALL need to climb into Nora's fort...I'll steel those great Star Lights from Tony. Shhhh...no one tell....

Tony, nurse Ratchet's no match for you big fella!!

Not much to report on this end. Tired. Tired. Tired...but not drinking.
Love you all.

How are all you sickies going? I hope you're feeling better, you poor sausages. I'm not the best today either but hopefully I'll be up and running again soon.

K9 and Kradle, how are your kidlings going my friends? Thinking of you all the time - the saying that "you're only as happy as your saddest child" is SO true.

Kradle I wondered the same thing. Are you allowed to send care packages?

This is nothing near the same situation, so I don't mean to trivialise it, but my sons went to a fairly strict boys' school and had to attend some residential programs designed basically to make sure they got got some independence from over-protective mothers. We weren't allowed to visit or call for a few weeks at a time but were able to send letters/packages etc.

I can understand if they won't let you in these circumstances, but whatever you are allowed to do would mean a lot to Matt. :l

Hi Everyone!

I couldn't see the pictures! Darn. I did however see Tony is his nightie...I'm still waiting for the frontal view. LOL

OMG I almost puked a second ago, I think it may be the antibiotic for my sinus infection. May skip it tomorrow, it's not really helping anyway. That's a bad feeling to be sitting at your desk and having that dry heaving feeling come over you. Good grief I am tired of being sick...we ALL need a vacation...together!

I had a good talk with both my parents last night...they are just concerned about Sierra. I did get the impression that they think I give her too much freedom, but they were adamant in how well they think I'm doing as a parent, so I didn't get too offended. LOL We all sort of agree that she may be "playing" us a little bit with this mental disorder that she has become obsessed with. It does seem to come and go at her convenience. I am going to talk to her therapist on Monday and see what he thinks. Even he told her that she has to keep living life. I think she has convinced herself that she is horribly mentally ill...but my parents and I agree that most of this is just typical teenage angst. Anyway, she's going to her dads on Sunday for a week, I hate to say this, but it will be a nice break for me. I love her with all my heart but I'm about to tell her to knock this shizzit off! LOL

I'm drinking coffee on an empty stomach, probably won't help with the nausea. I think I'll go join Tony in the hospital, but I will make sure my gown zips up on ALL sides. lol

Love y'all :h

WE still have the crud here...sleeping a lot is not helping...we are still going to dads nursing home later even if we just eat and run...I am tired of this already...yes we ALL need a vacation, to someplace warm please..it is freezing here today...aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

this prednisone is like speed...there is NO WAY I am taking two a day.
K9 - your post resonates with sensibilty...I think you and your parents are absolutely right and I think you are doing the right thing, for what it's worth
Sorry you are still sick Dottie

Mama - Last night after we got home I kinda gave Sierra the cold-shoulder...well not exactly that, but I wasn't consumed by her mental state and asking "are you ok?" "do you need anything" "how are you feeling?", etc etc. She kind of snapped out of her funk when she realized she didn't have me wrapped around her finger. Funny, huh? Same thing this morning, I just went about my business and she was suddenly very interested in me and being next to me. I think we may be on to something here. I bent over backwards getting her help, and now it's time for her to do some work, there's no magic pill or potion....you're in a bad mood? So am I ....get over it. LOL

Plus last night she was supposed to go to the coffee shop and "study" with a group of friends but I said no. It was raining and I didn't want her out driving around. She didn't even ask why I said no...my dad was right, I think she is looking for a little more structure. I have been so consumed with trying to make her happy that I am basically letting her run amok. Welllpp...no more Sierra, get ready cuz things are 'bout to change. :H She is about to recognize that I am the HBIC up in here. LOL (head bitch in charge!)

Mama prednisone is no joke. You will be tired when you come off though.

K9..good stuff. All I know is teenage girls are no joke. Man they are work. Sounds like you are on the right path.

Glass...beautiful pics...love them.

Tony needs no encouragement. NONE...I cant believe we haven't gotten the frontal view already. LOL

Nora, hope your visit is going well still.

Kradle...have you spoke to Matt? Brit and I had a nice dinner. She has a solo in a recital tonight so I will go hear her sing like a song bird.

Hope everyone else is feeling better!!!!

K9...we did the exact same thing with Clay. It took him four months to "snap out of it".....but he is much better now. I KNOW he was miserable with the transistion and had no friends for awhile and I hated that for him, but we kept telling he was 18 and it time to act like an adult. Hubs told to quit babying him and eventually he would realize no one was paying attention to him....
Good for you!! Deffo some manipulation going on, there.
gettin - enjoy her singing. You should post a video! Have you taken prednisone before?
Niner - sorry about your oogy tummy...and I know what HBIC is!!!! HAHA...I have to play that role every day....one of my lovely young residents was "up in here" last night in her mini skirt, tank top (it's freezing outside) and her high tops with the laces undone screaming at me that I was a rude bitch! Guess what litttle sister...no rent....no nice Jan....SNAP! Especially if you are going to act a fool and call me names!!
I got in the car and told hubs I wanted a little pink pistol for Christams just so I could shoot the shit out of someone...he told me no cause I would shoot myself!!
ok..back to my cold lunch....my super high is starting to wear off...thank heavens!
And Thanksgiving is officially cancelled Chez Jan. I otld hubs we would have ham sandwiches and sit around in our underwear and scratch ourselves all day if we wanted. YAY!!!
