Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

Hi all,
Been busy working on that house. I'm really beat and will be glad to get it finished with. DD2 is going to Macon for a few days to spend with boyfriend. She has never drove on the interstate and I am nervous. And it will rain all weekend. DD1s boyfriend is coming here for a few....having some problems with a friend calling me all the time when she is drinking. I might have to do something. She is the one we went to visit in Colo........Pauly, 7 days home sounds fantastic! And good luck on your trip. Hope you enjoy it....Rusty, glad you are feeling better...Nora, my Dad was in the army. We moved a lot and I liked it. He was gone a lot though. I think your hair looks great......Lizann, trips are overwhelming. Have a great time.....well, better get started on my day

DD2 got run off the road on I-75 and wrecked her car. She is ok though and was so scared and cried so much. I am so thankful she wasn't hurt.

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

Oh Bird!!!! Thank goodness she is ok. I am so sorry that happened to her. How far away from home was she?

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

Oh my goodness. I am so worried about your daughter. Have you seen her yet?

[NoraC]

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

Bird - I'm so grateful your daughter is ok. Made me remember the accidents my son has had. Is the car totalled?

Pauly - when are you leaving for your trip? Are you going to drive with (caravan?) with your daughter? Is Louie excited?

Rusty - are you getting some fun time in this week or are you just working? I am going to insist that you take some YOU time.

Liz - are you busy getting ready? I think it's so cute that Logan adores his uncle. How did your Dad do today? Are things any better? Does your niece work? Didn't you say she didn't have any motivation? How old is she? Could it be depression?

Glassie - you have been on my mind all day for some reason. I hope that you felt surrounded by the love I was sending.

I for one am looking forward to the long weekend over here. We are having another Quality System audit next week. 2 days next week and then 2 days the next week. Needless to say, work has been extremely stressful and will continue to be so. So, this weekend is relax time. And, I am going to get my hair cut/colored! :yay:

She was about an hour and a half out. I drove up there and then took her to Macon and came home. She was so shook up. We all were

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

Oh I have to share a funny story.
Flashback....... to several years ago, my brothers ex-wife unfriended me & blocked me on Facebook. She posted something on my page, I didn't like it & I deleted it. She quite often posted rude comments & one day I decided to just delete it. To punish me, she unfriended me & blocked me. :sad: :rotlf: Just kidding - that took care of so many issues. I didn't want to be friends with her on FB but it was my nieces & nephews mom. Hubby & I took care of her grandkids a lot so she enjoyed the pics I shared on FB.
Back to today...........You all know how I say that I'm trying to be more positive, stress gratitude, love, forgiveness, etc. Actually, on Facebook, I'm sure I drive everyone crazy with my quote posts. Little miss sunshine. :victorious: My nieces & nephews use Instagram & Snapchat so I'm trying to learn how to use those. I made a couple posts on Instagram and I looked at them today and they were liked by my ex SIL. I got furious. WTF was she doing looking at my stuff. I looked at one of the posts she liked and guess what it was
"I forgive. I forgive to heal. I forgive.........."

Can you say Karma? :harhar: I laughed & laughed at myself. I think I've made so much progress on my journey of a peaceful soul and then I get a real look in the mirror.

Bird - she'll probably be pretty sore tomorrow. Did the other people stop & help her? Take some deep breaths. :hug: :hug:

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

Hi all,
Nora, that is a funny story. I don"t like it when people post stuff on my fb and have deleted a lot of it.. DD2 had driven her car from the hwy to a gas station. Not sure of all the damage yet. Geico going today for a look. So happy Friday to all. More rain here. I might take a day away from the house clean up and stay home. DD1s bf will be here tomorrow. He is very nice and polite.. Glad my girls have nice guys....b

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

Morning friends,Bird I'm sorry about your daughters wreck glad she wasn't hurt though,off to leave here in a bit and I have horrendous anxiety,gotta keep it together,much love to all and wishes for a great AF Friday!!

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

Pauly - deep breaths :heartbeat:

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

Happy Friday!

Bird. OMG! Glad daughter is ok. How very scary. Were there any other cars involved, or just her? Hopefully the damage isn't too extensive, did it look bad to you? It is great that they have nice guys. You're lucky! Are you making any progress on the house that you can see? Any other treasure buried there?

Pauly, I hope your weekend goes well. Are you guys all going together? Driving really doesn't bother me, well, unless it's snowing. I'm anxious about our trip too. Normally I'd be drinking already.. Just taking deep breaths and telling myself to just feel the feelings. So far so good. I've kept myself super busy, which also helps.

Nora, karma! I love it. Maybe she realizes on some level how badly she treated you. I'm glad you'll be relaxing this weekend before a stressful work week. Does that require any overtime for you? I'm coloring my hair tomorrow too. Those grays come in way too quick. Pauly, you had me laughing with the mascara:congratulatory: my hair is too light to even try that. Good idea really.

Yes, I am busy getting ready for our trip. I am pretty much packed. I weighed my suitcase and its Bout 42 pounds already. Hubby will have to load up his suitcase with their stuff too. Our suitcases will be empty coming home. Ran a bunch of errands today and managed to squeeze in some pool time with sissy. First time this season and it was glorious, she needs to get away from home. Her daughter will be 23 next month and is absorbed in this fantasy world. She constantly is playing this game online, has met someone through this fantasy world. She has a college education and is working as a cashier for a small deli. She lies about almost everything and is unappreciative about things her parents have provided for her. She had a full scholarship and lost it because of this gaming nonsense. That's just a little bit about what sissy is dealing with. It seems my niece has trouble deciphering reality from fantasy and frankly it's scary. Sissy was happy to hang in the pool with me. It's a favorite thing for us to do.
Rusty, glassie hope you're doing ok!
Hope we all have a great AF night.

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

Liz - I thought it was a good lesson to me. I should practice what a preach. Forgiveness instead of instantly saying WTF is she looking at. :rotlf:
Good job on deep breaths and not drinking.

I hope Pauly got there already. Does anyone know when they were leaving? What is Rusty up to? Glassie - are you enjoying your weekend? Techie - what are you up to?

I got my hair cut & colored. That's a relief. Now, if I can just drag mom out for a hair cut tomorrow, we'll be all set. My nephew & family will be here on Monday. They are visiting from Louisiana.
