    Drifty - big hugs. :sad: That is hard. Good job on not drinking! You are so right that you don't want to do that. :hug:

      Drifty I'm so glad you're here posting. I admire you for keeping your quit going through such a difficult time.

      Liz - I admire you so much too. You have done a wonderful job raising your children to be independent and successful. Unfortunately that means they may leave you for a while, but it won't be for ever, I promise. And in time you'll have a new adult relationship which will be even better.

      Also I have to say here how much I also admire the rest of my stepper friends. Nora, Pauly, Rusty, bird - you've all demonstrated amazing strength in dealing with the problems life throws at you and I use you as my inspiration every day. :heartbeat:

          Good Morning, Friends!

          I have been MIA only because I did not feel well yesterday but I am on the mend today. I will go to church with my Mom, then out to dinner. Tomorrow I leave for Utah and I will be back Friday night.

          Drifty-I am so sorry about losing Pepper.:hug: Good job on not drinking!

          Glassie:heartbeat:you always say the kindest things...I feel the same about you. You must feel horribly overwhelmed. When I start feeling that way, I remember what my wise, CPA niece told me...work on things in chunks....that way a project doesn't seem insurmountable.

          Liz, thank you for the kind words about Elizabeth Rusty's wedding pictures.:heartbeat: I am SO glad you weren't working at that other place with everything going on in your life...and you were right, you wouldn't have had time to spend with your dad. I know you say Ann works hard when she works, but geeez….this is just my very humble opinion.... but she would call in "sick" for extended lengths of time and you got dumped with all her work. In my opinion, that isn't being a good friend or co-worker. Very inconsiderate. Of course she works hard when she's at work because she isn't at work a whole lot. Just my two cents, LOL.

          [MENTION=2634]bird[/MENTION]-congratulations on the move! I am so happy for you!

          Nora-thank you for the information on CBD oil. I will have to check that out.

          Pauly-I think it's sweet that you like your hubs because he's so easygoing. Oh, those bad boys...yup, I went on a date with a couple of bad@sses. Not for me, but it was kind of exciting at the time. Sorry Michelle picked one, sweetheart.

          Hi to everyone else, I better get moving. Happy AF Saturday!

              Good morning loves and happy Saturday. Another rainy stormy day here, I'm thinking I may need to start building an ark. Sadly no pool today. [MENTION=1214]Rusty[/MENTION] enjoy your time in Utah this week. I think it's pretty hot there now? I hope you get to do something fun and relaxing while your there. Thanks for your two cents about Ann, it is true.

              GLassy, thank you for saying that about me/us. You are so sweet. I appreciate your wisdom . And I love Rustys advice from the CPA,
              [MENTION=2634]bird[/MENTION]. I'm glad you have help this weekend! I know you will get so much accomplished. I'm not sure about the frog eggs, though?
              [MENTION=5628]Nora[/MENTION], I hope you are ok. You have been kinda quiet and that's usually not a good sign. Will you be seeing the baby this weekend?

              DRifty, how are you today. We are here for you.

              Enjoy your Saturday.

              Enjoy your AF Saturday.

                    Hi everyone.

                    Liz - I know that I've been quiet. I'll try to perk up and get back to chatty cathy. Ha, ha. I actually had a doll that talked when you pulled the string but I don't think it was a name brand. LOL
                    It is the weirdest thing but I have really been fighting depression. No rhyme or reason for it. Things are wonderful in my life. Absolutely wonderful. I feel stupid for even saying this out loud!! So stupid. Everyone has so much going on in their lives and here I am being depressed about nothing. But, I just feel like I need a really good sob but it won't come out.

                    We went and saw Savannah (and Mommy & Daddy). She looks so good. I'll sneak in another picture here later. I bugged them today on when they were going to finally release a picture of her.

                    I will be back later.

                        Oh Nora - she's beautiful!!! I don't even know her, but i want to hug her and kiss those squidgy little cheeks.

                        You're right about depression - there is no rhyme or reason for it. But also, you have a lot to deal with and the birth of a gorgeous granddaughter, although exciting, can bring about some other feelings too.

                        Is there anything that's worked for you in the past? Anyway, we're here if you want to vent.

                          Nora,I felt a kind of bluesy feeling after both Lou and Romeo were born,I think it's maybe like the post holiday blues or something,,either that or a wanting the very best future and world for them,wanting them to always be safe and happy I dunno,maybe you should talk to your doc? Not sure if you have already,hi Glassy

                            Ah thanks guys. I'm fine - I just wanted to explain.....even though I can't explain. LOL

                            We have had a great day.......we left mom here at home with a caretaker (and I managed to do it without a panic attack. I have been stressing about it). We went and saw our beautiful baby (thank you for all the glowing comments). We went out to lunch. I just took a dip in the pool and listened to some oldie music James Taylor, Cat Stevens, Fleetwood Mac, Gordon Lightfoot, The Eagles. Got to love that Prime music station when I'm floating in the pool. LOL

                              I thought that I had decided to turn the stage over to someone else and yet here it is all about me again! Enough of that.

                              Bird - I am so happy for you. That is fantastic. Your place sounds amazing. Is it a built in pool? I'm trying to imagine the frog.

                              Glassie - How are things going with work? Has it eased of at all? How about your thesis? You, my dear, need a vacation to Africa.

                                Rusty - your message box is full. Did you have a nice day with your Mom? Where are you staying in Utah? Was it Salt Lake City or did I make that up?

                                Liz - what are you up to? Do you have a built in pool? That is my dream!
