Re: One Step at a Time - April 2017

Nora, sell on e-bay, craigslist, paper, antique shops, pawn shops, garage sale, flea markets, sometimes involve estate pro's. Your relationship with your Mom is so beautiful!.. Very glad to hear she has good days!.. Life is full of difficult days and good ones. Your attitude for both is really wonderful. Your posts are a big help in reminding to stay as positive as possible. Hope you and hubs enjoyed OZ. Always liked it to, except the flying monkeys that scared me as a kid and still creep me out a bit. Such a great talent Judy Garland. Haven't ckd if I can view Humans yet. Saw they were on AMC. Will have to see if it's available on demand.

AG, yes it's funny how kids are so different. Hatched from same egg. Ours are also quite different. Yet, you and your hubs, like most us parents would likely not change a thing. Wise on dividing spring break. Think sometimes it's good to do separate things. Maybe makes them feel special.

Rusty, your such a hard worker and so committed to your customers. Hope you reward your self with something peaceful, relaxing. Or anything you find personally enjoyable. Me is thinking nap..

SK, sent you hugs and flowers on Sun. :hug: Was afraid to ask about you yest as didn't want to bug you. Happy to know your doing reasonably well at this early point in recovery. Rest as much as possible. Sorry you lost your post. I'm starting to copy and paste even with MWO's auto save feature. Still, lose them at times. Oh and Liz is on vacatation. Think in TX

Hope I didn't forget anyone. Waves to everyone. Please ck in when you have time. Have to run, can't be late.. :heartbeat:

Hey all,I thought I checked in this morning, I read for sure but I think I forgot to post cuz my phone was charging, Nora,you just enjoy time with your mom,the pic on fb was cute the other day, WF,I'm not sure if my son is serious but he's been doing the exercises required for the military, I worry cuz he changes his mind ALOT and if he does sign up that's it,no wishy-washy,have a headache from wearing a ponytail to work, happens all the time,deciding if I need Advil or if it'll just pass, SK,hope your pain is tolerable, I understand when WF said she didn't want to bug you,I do that too,even in real life,I do care but not sure if people want to be left alone or not,Kell made homemade chicken enchiladas last night and brought me some think that'll be dinner for tonight, big hugs to all my friends here

Re: One Step at a Time - April 2017

Just a quick post. Great to see you SK. WF - we are just starting Etsy, did eBay in the past. Pauly - homemade enchiladas. Yum!
Mom had a very confused long night. She didn't want me to go to work this morning. Was worried about being left behind. Doesn't know where she is and wanted to call her parents last night. Then asked about Dad this morning. Hubby has been behind her like a hawk today while I've been at work. Everybody is leaving here at 4:30 so I can lock up and go take over. How lucky I am that hubby is so loving with her.
Probably won't have a chance to be back tonight.
Hope everyone is having a Tantalizing Tuesday.

Re: One Step at a Time - April 2017

WF and Pauly, thanks for your consideration. I really wasn't too well Sat and Sun. I have restricted activity for 6 wks.

Nora, thank you for showing me and maybe others how loving and graceful you are towards your
mom. She seems to be happy and her qualities have undoubtedly been passed to you.
Yes, hubby is pretty wonderful, too.

Is Liz on vaycay and I missed it?

Re: One Step at a Time - April 2017

I forgot. Vivian had straight A's and is on the principal's list. So when Andrea came with my groceries today I sent her a little note and a strawberry soda. Her parents don't allow soda and she loves strawberry, her parents are happy for me to indulge with this.

I hope most of you enjoy buying groceries on line and picking it up next day, like Kroger does and now Walmart. I think they deliver but not right now, ie no bending or lifting.

Thank you for Netflix.

Re: One Step at a Time - April 2017

Great job on straight A's for your granddaughter SK,that's awesome! Nora,you're very lucky to have such a caring hubs,a lot of men wouldn't have the patience I think, have a peaceful night all

Re: One Step at a Time - April 2017

Pauly, its okay. Just another mother hen here. sorry.. thanks for cking in!... Use to have a gf that didn't have kids and she was worse than me. lol.. Truly, don't get how you post from your phone. Amazes and baffles me. Not sure what military exercise you mean? Do very much understand that worry if he's wishy - washy and is changing his mind constantly. It's not like you can get right out if you don't like it! Personally get the changing my mind about things. Drive myself mad sometimes. But with your son (think Brady?) and joining military, hope and would want him to be at least 90%. Will he make a list of pros and cons? I too have experienced headaches from pony tails, or a bun. Not sure why. Ask Lav maybe. Wondering if it's to tight pulling and tension around temples. Or allergies. Sometimes I wait to long, cause hate taking pills. It's a gamble cause sometimes headaches get worse. I don't know. Hubs does the same. He takes Sumatrytaphan some times. Still not enuf. Adds Advil and allergy med. Then it's knocked out. He had turbinate reduction against my wishes. Told him they grow back. Surgeon created a permanent breath strip to. Headaches aren't as frequent. Often are really bad.

Yum on enchiladas. Haven't made in long x. Thx for idea. This wknd. Eating leftover stroganoff. Didn't turn out very good. Still glad to have food! I do that in real life too. Worrying far too much about what others think and feel. I'm better than I use to be. Still its an area of growth and self confidence that I continue to work on. Another example. Last wknd hubs wanted me to go out back in Pjs, no bra. He doesn't understand that I don't want neighbors seeing me. Let me get my coat or put bra on. He's like no come on, no ones out there. I'm like you don't have big saggy boobs. haha What could he say. Nothing. lol.. But if he did have them, don't think he'd care. Now that I think about he does have Moobs. :hehe:

Re: One Step at a Time - April 2017

I couldn't member rest of posts. Was in "go advanced".

Nora, never sold on Etsy. Have bought from them a couple yrs ago. Thanks so much for letting me know you guys use them. Ah.. Nora I'm so sorry to hear of Mom's hard night last night!.. And confusion today. Hope tonight is better!. Hopefully, hubs great care today will help. Your hubs is an angel!!!..... Glad your able to lock up early and get home to help. Hope you and fam's evening is peaceful. :hug: "Tantalizing Tuesday" Good one. How about some of Pauly's chk enchiladas.

Skendall, think Liz is in TX on vacation with hubby. Hopefully, your daughter and her family will pamper you. Six wks will hopefully fly by. Is your pain being controlled?
Grandma gets to spoil her smartie - granddaughter with treats every once in a while. :smile: Glad parents understand. They aren't trying to take that privilage away from you. Kroger doesn't deliver in our area, but can pre-order day before. Haven't used. Know some who need and like. Please rest, heal and relax with Netflix. Please don't over do it!... :hug:

Re: One Step at a Time - April 2017

Techie, I'm anxious to see the new methods and crossing my fingers.

WF I am on hydrocodone and not liking them. I seem to get a rebound affect of depression and anxiety, so I try to take Taurine and Gaba before that happens.

If anyone is interested, Williams-Sonoma has a great easter egg. It's a cardboard egg decorated with Peter rabbit on it and is filled a choc bunny, carotts,
small truffle eggs and lollipops for about $20.00. I wonder if Louie would like it?

I've been sending the lollipops to Vivian for a few years now and they are her favourite "ever" lollipop.

Have a nice evening everyone.

Re: One Step at a Time - April 2017

Sounds cute SK I'll do a Google, Kell takes that too for her back and she absolutely hates it!says it makes her feel anxios and down too,She's been on it for awhile and has tapered back,I dunno why they prescribed it for long term pain relief for her degenerative disc disease anyways, those pills scare me unless absolutely necessary ya know?
