One Step at a Time - March 2015

[sunshinedaisies]

Pauly - so sorry about your bunny !! It is always upsetting when we lose our furry friends .... sorry XXXX

Liz - I understand about you not wanting your hubs at the meeting too - he isn't one of 'us' and I really do not feel anyone else ever really understands ... anyway I am glad that you went.

I have not been feeling too swift today - got home from work and napped for 2 hours, woke up and had something to eat then napped for another two hours - VERY unlike me. Hubs said he wonders if I am getting an ulcer with all the worrying I am doing .....

Back to the couch .....

Hugs, Sun XX

Chill Sunni you're probably just exhausted from lack of sleep during the night, I'm still struggling with sleep too,but what can I do?if even benadryl doesn't work I just have to deal I guess, one night I took like 3 different things to try and get back to sleep even resorting to take a full dose of my anxiety med and STILL nothing!Liz,you sound better you seemed a little down earlier, are these meetings AA or a different approach?allergies are kicken in so I'll see you guys later

Weary mama is home. The trip went well and my boss and I did fine, but Lordy, do I have ALOT of work to do. My new boss , Brenda, really needed me and probably needs to hire one more person.
I will LOVE it, but I am overwhelmed and tired right now and have nasty blisters from walking so much the past few days.
Dottie - I think volunteering is a great idea. You need to get out of the house and be around people.
Hi Lizz, Nora, K9, and silly Pauly and Sun. (I hope you aren't getting sick Sun....I think Pauly is right...chill and get some rest)
I am going to eat some pizza and go to bed early!
I love you all to bits and will be in the office tomorrow, so I should be able to check in more.

[Lizann]

Aww, mama, change is hard! Good for you. I'm glad you're in your own bed. I had pizza and cupcakes at work today, Yay me. Treadmill tomorrow
Pauly, I am feeling better. I just want to go to these meetings alone, I don't feel like I can let it all out with him hovering. He loves me and wants to help. I appreciate all that, but I need to own this! Thanks for being here for me guys. You really get me.
Sweet dreams, I'm headed for the blanket fort with the crayons. Anyone in?

[Dottie Belle]

New grief group was good. Different but good. I will go back. It is only twice a month so not as large a commitment.
Train fellow is coming back tomorrow to help me with some other things. I think I will let this rest until after Easter. Enough of this for me at this time. I want to re arrange the room but that can wait too. I have a lot going on right now with getting the house sold and more legal stuff so I can only take so much then I need a rest.....and I want to go back to the volunteer thing when all the other stuff is done so I can concentrate and do a good job....

Liz I am with you on the blanket fort.....but without my glasses I might color outside the lines....but who cares right???

[paulywogg]

Yeah who cares Dots I'm in,Mama's bringing the pizza, I'll bring the Doritos, someone bring some hot chocolate with whipped cream

[Dottie Belle]

I will bring the Tums.....

[mama bear]

I'm down for the fort too....and Dottie...I think ALL of us color outside the lines!!
Lizz- it's funny...I begged hubs to go to meetings with me so he would understand, but he always poo pooed it.....but I am NOT shy, so I understand where you and Nora are coming from.
I have to wear flip flops today.....I have an open blister the size of Texas on one foot!
coffee...shower...and out the door!

[paulywogg]

Hey all, Mama sounds familiar, when I first went to AA hubs was like"you don't need that shit" so now I only go when he's working, he also thinks coming on here is dumb, whatevs! They whine about our drinking but aren't very supportive when we try to help ourselves, I swear if I hear about that One Direction kid leaving the band one more time I'm gonna choke someone!it's all over the news,who cares? Up early, was gonna walk but allergens are high and I don't want mine flaring up again, hello to all, back later

[sunshinedaisies]

Morning Pauly and MB - Pauly, I hadn't heard about One Direction ..... LOL.

I am feeling a tad better this morning although my tummy feels sore. I slept really badly obviously having slept for so long during the day yesterday - I am usually asleep by 9.00 and ended up watching 'God Is Not Dead' on my iPad (Netflix) until 11.30 !!

I want in the fort too ..... I can bring some Cadbury Cream eggs of which I have a LOT !! LOL

MB - sorry about your feet/blisters - very painful for you!

I have never been to an AA meeting and do not want to go either ..... I am way too introvert for those!

Had all manner of storms in the night but the rain has stopped now so I might walk a dog or two ....

Have a great day everyone, Hugs, sun XX

[Dottie Belle]

Morning all,
Raining like crazy here. Gloomy and depressing. I hate being sad all the time. I hate being alone too but what choice do I have. I hope the volunteer thing gives me some outlet and folks to talk to. I seem to cry for no reason lately. I will definitely ask counselor about what she meant about going around the grief. I am not sure how much more I could experience this awfulness if I tried.
Fellow from train club coming by shortly and roofer later to pick up check for work on my folks house. I will be glad when all these loose ends are tied up. So much all at once and none of which are under my control.....ugh..

[K9Lover]

Hi everyone!
Mama - Glad you're home safe and sound, even with an oozing blister. LOL I'm glad you're gonna love your new job...do you miss 'Tucky yet? Is Brenda going to be the source of any entertainment for us?

Sierra and I are getting settled into the new place. I lined the kitchen cabinets with contact paper last night and put some food away...now to locate my kitchen appliances so I can actually cook a meal....my sister and I are going to make a few trips to storage with her Suburban tonight. I'm ready to start decorating...forget all this unpacking crap. LOL

Dots - You are doing so well, I know you don't feel like it, but you have been so strong and we are so proud of you! Take it easy when you can and know we love you! :love:

Pauly - You will be appalled to know I am wearing my jeans with no zipper today. lol. Whatever, I wear a long shirt to cover my belly anyways!

Nora - Glad to see you...keep checking in woman!

Liz, Sunni and everyone else...hope you're well and have a great day!

I am definitely in on the fort!! I love everything mentioned...pizza, doritos, cadbury cream eggs...hmmm, I think I'll bring some double stuffed oreos and milk!

Back later peeps!

[Lizann]

Good morning. Dottie, crying for no reason? The love off your life just passed, honey you have every reason to cry!
The meeting I attended was/is a 12 step. I will go because, they want me to go. I spoke to hubs this morning and he will let me go alone, whatever. This forum here has been huge help for me, but I don't know how to explain that to them. I guess unless they see some sort of change it doesn't matter.
Feel better sunny! Lol sunny, it's the season for those Cadbury eggs!
Mama, what I wouldn't give to wear flip flops right now! I'm sorry you're hurting but you had me laughing with the Texas sized blister. Today for me it's fuzzy socks and hunter boots!
Rainy, gloomy but warm here. Going blind shopping today for the kitchen.
Happy Thursday guys. I'll check in later!

[Lizann]

Cross post K9. New beginnings for you. I'm happy for you and Sierra! Is she in the same school district?

[NoraC]

I really, really miss being able to get on here at work. The person that sits near me is out for a few minutes so I was able to log on.

Dots - of course you are crying. (((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))

I am definitely in the blanket fort. Anybody want popcorn?

Have a great day all !!!!!!
