One Step at a Time - March 2015

[Dottie Belle]

There is an event at my church tonight for PI day...3.14.15...... I will stay as long as I am comfortable then leave if needed.
Yes the weekends are hard. We always had things to do and this time of year there were so many train events to attend. I am just lost and floundering with no direction or clue how to do much of anything...
I have a grief group on Monday and the gym. I have to find a way to fill the weekends up with something. Just now sure how to do that. My friends who are also widows have grand-kids to keep them busy...I have the dogs but it is too messy to do much with them. I dont know...

Liz, in Canada personal and business taxes have to be filed by midnight April 30th to avoid penalties...our daughter-in-law is an accountant, she is working 7 days a week right now and will till that date. She says she wished everyone was like us and brought the stuff in early so that things weren't so busy towards the end.

Cowboy, hubby is self employed and he has many investments. Very complicated to file, he needs to get all our "stuff" to the accountant by next week. He hates to do it and is dragging his heels.

we are one of those 'lucky' ones who on filing their taxes had them rejected 'cos someone had already filed using our SSN's !!! get your taxes is as soon as you can - so if you are like us, you can find out !!!

AB Cowboy - your are so sweet.

[mama bear]

I just realized it's been one month for Lizz......WOW!!!

[sunshinedaisies]

My mum is back in the hospital ....... I am not sure why - feeling really stressed - realtor called and I had to leave the house for them to show it and then they didn't turn up! So I sat with three dogs and two cats in my car for an hour and a half for nothing when I really wanted to get to the computer and find out about my mum !!!!

Will let you know when I do ...... hard to deal with identity theft, selling a house, buying a house and mum back in hospital - tears are looming !!!!

Hugs, Sun XX

[mama bear]

Oh crap Sun....I am so sorry. Cry away my love and let us know what is going on with your Mum. I would be livid that the realtor didn't show up!

[Lizann]

Aww sunny, too much going on for you honey! Cry, sometimes it helps, letting off some steam. (((Hugs)))! Yes please let us know what is going on with mum. Not nice the realtor didn't show, can you find out or do you even care what happened. I'm here if you need to vent.
Yes mama, one month for me! Flopping today as well. Cleaned a bit, couple of loads of laundry and ran on the treadmill.

[sunshinedaisies]

Jan and Liz .......You both have me crying really hard !!!!! Just way too much happening ...... won't find out what is going on with mum until tomorrow afternoon .....

[mama bear]

didn't mean to make you cry harder...but we certainly understand...can you call the hospital?
YAY again Lizz!!

[sunshinedaisies]

No to calling the hospital - I mean I could but am not going to - they are way too busy plus my brother is visiting tomorrow and will e-mail after the visit so I will find out more then. I know she will be fine - it is just too much happening right now.

Thanks my friends for being here ...

hugs, Sun XXX

Went to event at church tonight..I was OK until folks talked about him and hugged me and I could feel him there with me. Cried on the way home. Friends coming tomorrow to help me put all the flowers in the trash. House smells like dead flowers...yuck. I am so grateful for out 20 years together but still feel cheated that we wont have more.

Hi all
Dottie, keep the tears flowing. It helps tremendously. Don't try to hold it in......Sun..I am sorry about your Mom being back in..will keep her in my prayers...broke down and called my Mom awhile ago, she wanted a couple books and 1 I couldnt find so will amazon it..we don't talk much so was nice to hear her voice...spent 1/2 the day at the gym..the other took the kids shopping..

[sunshinedaisies]

Dottie I think it is good that people are talking about him to you - so often people are scared to mention him so this is a good thing really ... and the tears are healing ...

Bird glad that you had a good day with the kids ..... and really pleased that you called your mom - do you both have Skype ?

I am working this morning just for a few hours - good for me I think, as I hate to start anything at home when the realtors can call - although to be honest I think when I get home today I am in for the day - hubs is over to his mums this afternoon and is taking my car as he thinks something is wrong with his, so I cannot go out with the dogs even if the realtor DOES call !!

Back later, have a great Sunday everyone, Love, Sun xx
