Liz - x-post. Uh oh, terrible two's! Just kidding. I think it's so sweet how much fun he has with Onkel Mark. The blanket fort is so fun! Glad your work dinner went ok. Hope Erin is feeling better. Is it morning sickness?

Re: One Step at a Time - June 2019

Bird - how are you feeling? I'm glad that the play was a fun time. Is dd1 working there all summer? How many tomato plants do you have? I miss having a garden. I'm glad that you are getting so much out of Hip Sobriety already.

Rusty - I'm so glad that your is feeling better. Wonderful that you got to spend time with your family this weekend (and even soak in the hot tub!). That story about your brothers accident was so scary. Have a good week.

Glassie - love having you pop in. You are missed.

Waves to all who pass by here.........:hiya:

Re: One Step at a Time - June 2019

Morning friends,wow Liz can't believe Logan is 2!! Where did the time go? Hope Erin feels better,I sailed thru my girl pregnancies but Brady made me sick as a dog and sooooo tired! I lost 5 lbs the first trimester I was just too sick, hopefully hers passes quickly,Nora I forgot to mention that I'm so glad mom wasn't hurt in that fall! So scary and it could have been bad,glad Savannah is a strong, independent individual already,makes it easier most of my gardening is in pots these days cuz the tortoises eat EVERYTHING!!!!! I've even caught them biting on my fake foilage back there such brats! Bird,what's up for today? How have your cravings been? I'm having mini cravings just cuz I think it's summer,I'm still so very sad about Jon and tbh last night I broke down crying to hubs and Kell that I almost wish if he was gonna do that at least a different time of year would've been easier,like if it was around Christmas I'd at least have a distraction ya know? Seems like this sorta sets the tone for my summer,just a vague sadness that I hate! I'm supposed to go visit my family at the end of July 4th tbh I'm kinda having second thoughts,the anxiety of seeing them is weighing on me and I'm not sure I won't beeline to my moms fridge for beers just to"get thru" fuck I hate this Rusty,hope you're busy with clients and enjoying life,I love that I at least see you on FB cuz I know your life is sometimes too busy to pop in here,I get it cuz that's how I get when I am busy with the boys or something else in the evening, morning is really my only chance,much love to all and wishes for a happy and healthy AF Wednesday!!

Re: One Step at a Time - June 2019

Hi all,
Not much happening except read read read and go swimming, and make tomato sauce. I've figured out I can put the tomatoes in the nutribullet and then let that sit overnight, all the water goes to the bottom and then I can just freeze it or simmer and can it. I have about 20 tomato plants.....Nora, that is good your mom didn't get hurt badly. Hope the ultrasound goes well. Glad you got hubs to take the pain meds, I hate taking pills. Poor Savannah, hope the rash is gone soon. So much happening with you at once, good you stay sober throughout, I well remember your struggle to get sober and that always gives me hope everytime I slip up I think of you and Mr. G and I know it can be done. Dd1s job will be over after this show.......Paulie, you made me think of carrying my kids all over, one in each arm. I get you with the family visit, I think about Alaska all the time but just not sure. I want to go but very uncomfortable about it.......Rusty, glad you had a good weekend with family. That is some story about your bro and the boat, lucky it wasn't worse....Liz, Logan is 2 already? Wow the time just flies. Sorry you got rear ended, wonder if the lady was on her phone? So many are these days.....well off to read read read.....b

Re: One Step at a Time - June 2019

Hey everyone. Figure I'd try posting a little early tonight. Logan is still here. Erin has graduation tonight and according to her contract she must attend. She is laying on the couch napping and I am entertaining Logan. I said her due date is 1/26, it's actually the 16th. Yes Pauly, she has morning sickness, all day! Another warm humid rainy day, ugh! I just want to use the pool! [MENTION=2634]bird[/MENTION], 20 tomato plants is a lot! Hubby had a dozen last year and I couldn't keep up. We were giving them away and putting them on everything, not to mention soup and sauce. But they are delicious! [MENTION=17650]paulywogg[/MENTION], you do always get stressed out when u visit ur mom and the added sadness of your brother. I get it. My mom gave Logan a small radio yesterday that was my dads. We plugged it in and turned it on. It was all news, his station. I started crying, he would always listen to the news station to get the weather as his job depended on it:sad: it just took me back. It's coming up on year and it's been hard. [MENTION=9757]NoraC[/MENTION], sounds like Savannah is a busy little one. Logan isn't much into be cuddled or carried, unless he got hurt or it's nap time. I'll take what I can get. [MENTION=1214]Rusty[/MENTION], hope you are having a good week working?
Waves to everyone and have a great AF hump day.

Re: One Step at a Time - June 2019

Don't know if I'll be back to post tonight. Mom is restless again. But, I just want to say....Pauly, if you are feeling like this, I think you are very wise to reschedule your trip. This is a hard time and I think it's better to avoid triggers, IMHO.
Liz - hugs to you about your cry for your Dad today. Those kind of things are so hard.....see or hear something and it just hits you.

Re: One Step at a Time - June 2019

Hey everyone. Quiet here today. I had to check and make sure it wasn't already July. Humid and rainy again just for a change. Went to pick up my replacement phone tonight and I have to go back again tomorrow to get it. The manager didn't "receive" it, whatever that means. I'm pretty annoyed right now. It's been well over a week I have been waiting for a replacement and it's refurbished, grrr. Hubby snapped at me a few times today and I find I am close to tears. Hope you guys had a good AF day.

Re: One Step at a Time - June 2019

Hi all,...Liz, that sucks about the phone. Sorry hubs is being a drag. I have a radio that belonged to my dad. Idk if it works.....Nora, sorry your mom is restless again...nothing happening here. Took dd1 to get her oil changed and tires rotated. Dd2 to N.Y. Sunday, we will spend the night in Atlanta Saturday. I am yet to find a decent hotel near the airport, soon I will have tried them all....Some of the WFS gals getting together in Seattle in Oct. so I am thinking about going to that since I have to use that Alaska Air $ by Feb.....waves to Paulie and Rusty and Glassie

Re: One Step at a Time - June 2019

Hello everyone. Yes - it is quiet here. Is it something I said??!?!?!?!?! :eek-new:

Liz - what a pain about the phone. That is ridiculous. Sorry that hubby is being irritable. I understand about you feeling close to tears. That's the way I was last weekend. Walking on eggshells to avoid getting snapped at. I hope he is in a better frame of mind tomorrow.

Bird - good luck with finding a good hotel. That WFS meetup sounds like a fun time. A good reason to use your Alaska Air tickets.

Pauly - what's going on with you? How are your darling little grandsons? Oh, I just remembered that tomorrow is your 99 cent store day isn't it? I drove by it today and almost turned in the driveway.

Rusty - What time are you heading home tomorrow? Do you have some exciting plans for the weekend?

Glassie - thinking of you :heartbeat:

Re: One Step at a Time - June 2019

Just want to wish everyone a happy AF Friday! It's raining here again this morning, so I'm happy I'm off to work! Have a great day!

[NoraC]

Re: One Step at a Time - June 2019

Happy Friday. No rain here but we did have dark clouds last night.

[paulywogg]

Re: One Step at a Time - June 2019

Happy Friday,no rain or dark clouds here haha Liz sorry hubs was a crab,I hate that feeling when mine is,Bird,I think the meet up would be nice for you,I still only just read on wfs,I don't have any of their materials so I have no clue what they're talking about when they talk about the statements or whatever,have fun in Atlanta,I've never been but it seems like a fun city,hope you can do some touristy stuff and take some pics Nora,the boys are doing well except Romeo got a fungal rash on his bum from his last round of antibiotics so it's bright red,Kell took him to the docs and she gave him cream that has to be applied 4 times a day,let him run around in the nude(which is bad cuz he likes to mark his territory when he's diaperless) and try to feed him yogurt which he used to love but doesn't now for some reason,I even stocked up on SpongeBob gogurts cuz Lou used to love them too but now hates them so I have a huge box in the fridge still,I guess I'm gonna hafta eat them before they go bad,yup 99 cents later,I'm gonna buy a new lunch box cuz mine is starting to look mangey,much love to all and wishes for a happy and healthy AF Friday!

Re: One Step at a Time - June 2019

Happy Friday, went up to the park with the spring today and then another park that is nearby and then the falls, they are all in about the same place. I wanted to get some water from the spring but there were a few people there and they had wagons and gallon jugs to fill up so I figured never mind, the water doesn't come out very fast. Went downtown awhile ago, there was supposed to be a bunch of music going on but it wasn't much, so I came home. It's hot as hell anyway, been having trouble getting Bruno to go out at night, he hides under the chair. He is just hot and always sprawled out on his back with his arms out....Paulie, too bad about the rash. Have fun eating up all that yogurt hehe....how is everyone else this evening?

Re: One Step at a Time - June 2019

Bird - sounds like a really nice day you had. Liz, were things better with hubby today? Pauly, poor Romeo but I did laugh at him marking his territory. I remember those days with my son. LOL
