[mama bear]

she sees to be fine right now, but they are about to do a brain scan and see where her brain is bleeding

[Lizann]

Oh no mama, hope nana is ok and it wasn't a major one. Did you go on your date last night?
Sunny sorry about your mom. Distance does make it difficult, can you get in touch with her doctor? Are your siblings any closer?
Pauly, for what it's worth, I like you and I'm glad you're here. I look forward to your posts!
Waiting for Erin to come over, her hubby is watching the Daytona 500. I'm sure I will be hearing from sissys today, checking in. I really don't even want to talk to them.
I'll check back later. I will not be drinking today.

[Lizann]

Nora, we have a pile of tax stuff to go through too! Hubby usually gets cranky, not at all a pleasant experience! Hope you get through it ok.
FYI, I missed talking to you all yesterday

[mama bear]

Good job Lizz...
Pauly, don't even THINK about leaving us
Good afternoon Nora and Dots.
yes, we had date night and were home and sound asleep when SIL called about 1 am..../sigh

[paulywogg]

Sheesh, you guys could never get rid of meMama, your hair looks great I like the cut,when I try and get lots of layers like that it looks mullety,my hair lays too weird, poor nana just too much going on with her health lately, it's gloomy here and Louie is being a grouch-ass!but hubs is doing ribs

[mama bear]

Thanks Pauly. I really like my new hair. And I am glad you are not leaving!!
We bought Nana Dancing with the Stars live tickets for her birthday. The show is tonight and she is insisting that we go...not really in the mood for it, but we are going.

[paulywogg]

I wouldn't be in the mood for it either but maybe it'll get your mind off things,just try to get some pics and videos for her

[Dottie Belle]

Back from Costco and that was a big mistake but we needed dog food and I hate going alone so we went with the hundreds of other folks who needed to get out of the house....
Dh surgery is a 1pm tomorrow. We have to be there by 11AM so I am taking my tablet so I can play games or see if anyone is here.
Dont ANYONE leave!!!!!!!
mama hope nana is ok.....

[sunshinedaisies]

Mb - so sorry about nana - hang in there - at least they know what is going on with her - my mum they still are not sure !

Liz - two of my sibs are in UK - 2 and 3 hours away from mum respectively. The other sib is in Abu Dhabi. We have been Skyping all day practically. I am thinking of going to UK depending on what the hospital say tomorrow .... Hubs is NOT a happy camper !!

Hugs, Sun XX

[NoraC]

Great big hugs to Sunnie & Mama......this is so hard.

[Dottie Belle]

Sun I am so sorry. That must be so frustrating. Is hubbs not happy that u want to be with your mother???
I am learning to do what I need to do for ME....the rest will have to work itself out..

[Lizann]

Sunny if mum needs you, I'm sure hubby will come around? Hope it all works out for your family. Seems like a lot of that going on here.
Mama, how was the show?
Nora, are the taxes done? Our pile is just getting bigger.
Pauly, enjoy those ribs. It sounds yummy.
Dottie, hope dh surgery goes well and the weather is ok. Please let us know how it goes. I will be around tomorrow too. I like the take care of me idea. I need to do that. As expected sissys were all over me like white on rice today. Worried and disappointed that I am not following through on anything I said I would. Need to change what I am doing as what I have done in the past has not worked. Just freaking leave me alone already! I just cried and cried after I talked to them.
Off to my blanket cave, is that even what we called it? Good night all, tomorrow will be a better day. I did not drink today!

[Rusty]

Good Morning Friends,

A cheery hello from Canada! I am working here through Thursday so I just thought I would check in.

Sunny...sorry to hear about your Mum! So hard that you are so far away! Where do you live, Sunni?

Mama- so sorry to hear about Nana's stroke. Hope you and your family had fun at Dancinf with the Stars! Yippee on getting tickets to the Steve Miller Bamd and Journey. I
Love the 80s music, too!

Liz-I know your sisters are hovering and driving you crazy....but in their defense, they are just so worried about you. As
ashamed as I was when my family held that intervention, it was really out of fear that I was driving drunk, which I was, and that I would kill someone, mainly my mother. I often drove my mother places and sickeningly enough, yes I was drunk. Your sisters are maybe thinking the same way. I am so proud of you that you were sober and took charge of that harrowing ride to and from the shower. If you continue to pitch in and help like this, and your family knows you are reliable, believe me, they will get off your back. They just need to trust you again and they need to see evidence that you haven't been drinking. Just make that embarrassing situation with AL your LAST, and stick to it. ;-)

Pauly-please don't take it personally when someone leaves MWO without saying anything or you find out they have un friended you on FB. People come and go on Internet forums all the time, and it has nothing to do with you. The beauty of an Internet forum is that if someone pisses you off or they are offended by something you or someone else said, that you don't have to see them at work the next day! Hahah! I
Like your posts.

Dottie- I wish your husband the best of luck in surgery today.

Hi Nora! :-)

Guys, I may not be posting much this week. The left mouse on my laptop just died and I will be working long hours this week, but I will be reading. Happy Monday, everyone!

[sunshinedaisies]

Morning everyone ! Dottie - good luck with hubs surgery today - and how are YOU feeling ???

Rusty - hope that your week isn't too bad for you - you sound so hectic all the time..... and I am in the Midwest, USA. Where are you ?

Jan - hope that you enjoyed DWTS - how lovely that you got to go to it - did you take pics and stuff for your Nana? How is she doing ?

Nora - we are getting our taxes done today - I am a little worried this year that we might owe - we usually get a refund ! But with me cutting my hours and stuff, I have a horrid feeling that it might not be as good this year ....

Hi there Pauly - nice that hubs cooked for you - mine wouldn't know where to start!! Being veggie, it is hard for him - over the years meal wise we have ended up having two different meals pretty much - and he cooks his and I cook mine !! After 33 years, that is fine ! It works for us anyway.

Liz - yes of course hubs would 'let' me go - LOL. he knows that I will do what I want anyway really - it would just be nice if he was fine with it. He is just worried that if I go this time and mum is fine then what if it happens again? Well - I would go again I suppose !! But I am going to wait and see what the hospital say - they were doing tests yesterday and should have the results today ...

Have a wonderful day everyone ... I am getting ready for work but taking my iPad so I can call the hospital in UK !!

Hugs, Sun XX

[mama bear]

Good Morning! Dancing was incredible. Gosh what talent and beauty and athleticism. We really enjoyed it, but I am a little sleepy right now.
Safe travels all week Rusty. Stay warm!
Good luck with surgery today Dots.
Oh, Lizz...I feel so bad for you. I spent many hours being fussed at by my family. In therapy I was told that it took a long time for me to erode my family's trust and it will take years to earn it back.
Sun - GO BE WITH YOUR MUM.
I'll post more when I am awake.....love you all
Birdman won best movie! I just watched it yesterday. It was very cerevral and dark and I loved it. Excellent writing and acting.
bacinanbit....yawn
