Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

Hi all
Really short note. I am up in N. Ga and I was looking at a real estate mag and saw rubywillows cabin is up for sale. I knew it was hers cuz it still has all the stuff hanging on the porch and I recognized it. Kinda freaked me out a bit..

Liz - you are in my thoughts. Please come here and share

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

Wow I am up early.....Lizann:hug: Hope the caregiving class has some good stuff for you. Weird about the rsvp huh?....Pauly, surgery is always scary. Hope it doesn't come to that.......Nora how are things going?.....my dd1 sent me a message that she is getting depressed. I know it is that school is almost out and she worries so much about being bored and being away from boyfriend and everything. I need a fair to go to to know how to help, as it is frustrating for me not knowing what to do. I think I will end up moving closer to the kids instead of up here, so I can try to help somehow. It is very nice up here, there are no thugs walking the streets, plenty of older folks out walking in the evening. But it is a long drive to where the kids are, a lot of twisty 2 lane roads. Maybe I should just stay put until they get out of school. It is an easy drive up from where I live now. All so confused and overwhelmed.........am heading out for some hiking as soon as it gets light. Going to look at the house at 5. ....b

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

So how was everyone's Thursday? It's hot here today and I'm loving it! I'm going to have to look up rubywillow. I guess she doesn't post here anymore?

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

Hello all

Rubywillow passed away about a year ago. Rubywillow was here when I joined. I never met her but I know that Bird & Mama Bear met her and I believe went to her cabin. Bird will have to fill you in on that.

I agree that it would hard to be far away from your girls, Bird. But, you've got to do what's good for you too. I hope you can find something that feels just right.

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

Hit post too soon. I wasn't done blabbing. LOL
Anyway, what is everyone doing this weekend? Hubby & I are going to go get massages. Casey & Jeanette are going to stay with Mom. Or at least he is. She might be working. So, hubby & I might just take advantage and go out afterwards. But, probably not. I don't usually want to do anything after a massage.

I've got a ton of paperwork & e-mails that I need to go thru. But, I think it's a good time to read my book.

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

Massages sound great Nora you both deserve it,not much going on today,had a doc appointment this morning before work what a pain to go there then drive to work but oh well,no boys today cuz Kell and her boyfriend are both of,just sitting here with Winslow watching Shark Tank reruns,wishes for a peaceful night for us all

[Rusty]

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

Good Evening, Friends!

It's been a long week and I'm exhausted so I'm off to bed. Another long commute tomorrow. :-(

Pauly-you're watching Shark Tank and I'm watching Chicago Fire...and I hope to dream about Taylor Kinney tonight. Lady Gaga was a fool to let him get away!! LOL

Liz-how is your dad and Logan's ear? Delighted that Mark had a fun trip to Paris.

Nora-I'm thrilled you and hubs are getting massages this weekend.
[MENTION=2634]bird[/MENTION]-I really liked Rubywillow. She and I and mama bear used to post on the same thread. She was so sweet.

Another long day tomorrow so I will try and check in tomorrow night. Sweet dreams, everyone! Hope you are having a great Friday, Glassie!

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

Yep - it was the Keep your Ass in Gear thread. That's where I hung out.

Liz - I've been thinking of you (your family all day) - just wondering how things were going. I think it's great that you are seeing the Social Worker and going to the fair. Knowledge is so important. We are so lucky that the meds they have mom on are keeping her from getting as agitated now. I know it is just awful trying to talk to them when they think something is so real. When Mom just argued with me and was going to go next door no matter what. Very sad :hug:

Rusty - I'm so glad you checked in. Get some rest. :hug:

Pauly - enjoy watching tv with Winslow. Sometimes it's so nice to just sit and veg by yourself.

We are still planning the baby shower. It's coed and one of the games is going to be having the guys (girls?) drink a beer out of a baby bottle. Whoever finishes first wins. I'm sure it will be a fun time. I just am a little uncomfortable around alcohol when it's free flowing like that. Like it would be so easy to reach out & grab a glass. Just makes me uneasy. That's like a nightmare that I've had before. Not dwelling on it or worried about it. Just felt like sharing. I have learned that it's not healthy for me to have alcohol thoughts/doubts and not share them. Once I admit it here, I can let it go and move on. :heartbeat:

Well - Mom is ready for bed so must run. Glassie, Techie, NS, Mr V and all the other wonderful people - big hugs

HAPPY POETS DAY

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

Hi all,
I am having a difficult weekend. Got down to Macon yest it was a 3 1/2 hour drive. As soon as I get here dd1 is texting wanting to know if I;m here yet. I swear that kid has radar hehe....but had to go meet with a realator and look at a couple places, by then I was beat and hungry. Went to dd1s and she had piles of stuff all over, wanted to go to the bookstore and sell her textbooks, which I probably shouldnt have done, as I knew I was in the danger zone and wanting to drink badly and hungy, tired etc. Ended up drinking some later and dd1 very upset about having to leave her boyfriend for the summer and can't deal with all the packing and just falling apart and sending me texts. So anyway, woke up at 3 a.m., you know how that goes. No more beer. When am I gonna get that through my skull...ugh....so I have 1 more place here I am going to look at and will probably end up buying. Maybe I can help dd1 more if I am close. I can always move later....so gotta go get some boxes and tape for the kids and I damn sure will not drink tonight....blah.....have a good day all, it is beautiful out even though I am feeling lousy:happy2:
