Good morning Muffs and Muffin men, hope that you are all well.

I'm certainly happier than I was over the weekend, had a barbecue yesterday and didn't overdo the wine too much.

Judie, you asked over the weekend if we had to postpone our trip because of Kerrie's appointment, no we don't luckily .....

Love & Hugs to everyone.

Good Morning Mods,
I'm off to teach summer school this morning but wanted to tell all of my friends here at MYO (in honor of Lucky) that I love you all!
Have a great Monday!

Good morning Betty, Soccermom and all modsters to come! I sort of have a day off today - just one massage trade with a buddy, a mandatory meeting at work, but free in the afternoon. I had 2 glasses of wine last night, spread out. Noticed that I was very interested in emptying the bottle after the first, but remembered that I'd forgotten to take my kudzu, l-glut, and other herbs ... so I did that and sipped water and had 2nd glass with dinner. So now I can see there's one good sized serving left in the bottle. I want to keep consumption to a bottle of wine a week or less. Guess I'll be AF until Thursday.

Good morning everyone!
Took the day off work today to get to a much needed doctors appt for my ankle that keep seizing up then taking my toddler to his doctor for a sinus infection.

Had a nice weekend. Got a lot done outside the house now I have to catch up inside.

Have a great day.

Good Morning Everyone,
Had good weekend up until last night when had fight with husband about money. Not even thinking I drank more wine - I think about 2 more glasses, but still this AM do not have hangover so that is something good I guess. Overall my little program is working I guess. It is 1 25mg topa around 4PM, healthy dinner, work outside or exercise during day as much as possible. I am sleeping a lot better too. Oh and chiropractor weekly.

I do not understand why the topa is working better this time. Sometimes I think our body chemistry just changes over time. I don't know. Or we find the right combos. Maybe I need chiropractic or big time yoga /energy type modalities to rid toxins & negative energies or something...

Have you ever wondered why trees are such a happy lot?

They've mastered patience.

Not bad for wood, huh?

Morning all,

BB, I am sorry about Kerrie's appointment. It is so hard to wait forever for doctors. Hope it all turns out OK!

Soccermom, I forgot you were doing summer school this year. I hope you don't have to work too hard!

Zin, when you are first doing this mods thing, that kudzu and l-glut come in so handy for stopping the cravings. they do get better over time. Good for you on not wanting more.

Beaches, wish your day off was for some extra FUN, instead of the doctors offices.

Simey Mar, good to see you over here! Glad your weekend was good.

Chrysa, triggers, whew, I figured out along the way that my husband held many of my triggers in his hands. Taking that power back has been super for my mods program and great for us on a personal relationship level. He has not been able to provoke a drama for a few months and has since given it up for the most part. You can do this I can see how vigilant you are being about this. GREAT JOB!

Lushy, glad you got so much accomplished this weekend! Good on you staying free of hangovers!!

Judie, I hope everything went ok yesterday. I know it was an extremely sad day for you. Giggles on the play!

Waves, hope you had a great weekend too!

Got my dad sprung from the hospital this weekend. Good stuff on that!! My mom a bit shaky still.

I had a nice weekend all things considered. Not sleeping the best but that is OK. I have a lot of things to consider about now and know that is what is keeping me awake. I did ride my stationary bike without my brace on a very low setting for an hour yesterday, first time I ever tried that. We also grabbed an hour's walk on a tree lined path not too far from our house. Knee was screaming pretty big time and thankfully I did have my brace on as it buckled a few times on me so it cut the walk short. I want to go to traveling but my husband is rather concerned that I will not be able to handle a lot of walking even with my brace on, so working on it!! Had a glass of wine last night and could feel a slight buzz halfway through the glass, so I know my mods program is working well.

Hugs and Love to all of you and those to come later in the day,
Mary

Morning everyone. Sounds like we all had pretty good weekends overall. Our weather has drastically changed from hot to rainy. It couldn't have been raining this weekend when I was inside painting?? Oh well. I feel so accomplished this morning having had such a productive weekend so am grateful for that.

Chrysa, our chemistry is always changing so maybe that is why the topa is going better for you this time. I hope it continues to do so. I am starting to consider trying topa as summer approaches. So many opportunties for me to overdo it and I just cannot do that anymore.

Soccermom, LOL at the MYO. Hope Lucky is not reading.

Beaches, sorry to hear about your ankle. Let us know what the doctor says.

Zin, nice job moderating. A bottle of wine a week is excellent moderating in my book.

MKR, sorry your knee keeps acting up. Poor thing. I applaud you for exercising despite it.

Simey, glad you had a nice weekend too.

Jude sounds like you have an emotional weekend, both good and bad. Hope you are okay today.

To all of the rest of you to come have a great day.

Hello to all in Modsville.

BB hope everything turns out ok with Kerrie and her doc appt. Waiting can be painful

Chrysa I second what MKR has said about hubby and triggers. Taking back that control is one of the best things I ever did for my mental health!

Jude....I have been reading your most recent posts and it seems like you have been on an emotional rollacoaster this weekend with the anxiety of looking towards the weekend, the joy of the play, the notalgia of seeing relatives over a 30 year absence, the saddness of a funeral and then dealing with realatives that seem to have defined you from your actions many years ago. Alot to deal with huh? I can relate to alot of that. I am 38 years old and some relatives that I never see still identify me as the crazy teenager running wild. I usually make a joke about it.....a very SARCASIC joke mind you Anyhoo....hope things get back to normal in your neck of the woods...and I literally mean "your neck of the woods". Maybe kayak an extra couple of miles to work off the tention.

Lush... hope you got the most out of your FREE time! The salmon sounded delicious!

Beaches...your day off doesn't count as a day off...and sinus infection ouch! not fun...Hope your week gets a little less stressful..

MKR.. always coming here with such words of wisdom that we all appreciate! You really are an anchor around here.

Beth check in when you can...your niece is in my prayers as is your whole family.

I am dead tired today. After the BBQ with friends my dear sweet thoughtful hubby invited 2 of the kids to sleepover at my house..so I had a total of 5 kids sleeping under my roof. One kicked the other out of bed so he came and slept with us and then my daughter came into bed with us as well and then one started crying at 3am and continued on and off until 5am where I gave up and called his mother who came and retrieved him at 5:30am. It hurts to type at this point!

Have a great Monday everyone!! I'll check in later....:h

OH PP, that is brutal!!! Hope you can get through your day okay. I am sure that poor mother was not thrilled to have to come get her kid that early.....

[Saint Jude]

Monday 4th June

Mornin' everybody!
PP you should have just got on the puter & joined Tawny & I in the Flashchat! I think we were in there till about 2 AM !(About 5 your time)
Thanks for the kind words PP, you pretty much nailed it on the head... a total rollercoaser weekend! All in all it's been great, but definately some of those moments...:upset: Guess that's just part of it...It was really great seeing everyone though.
It was a really beautiful service for my Uncle Ralph. Seemed like the whole county showed up to say goodby. I was OK till the military honors... then I just lost it.
But very emotional.:l And sarcasm? NOT ME! I almost offered to drive my sister to airport last night, when she offered me a ride home.. even though her flight wasn't till this AM.. and the airport is a 6 hour drive from here! That wouldn't have been considered sarcastic would it? I should have just barked at her like my cousin did in the play & threated to bite her!(she plays a dog)It was the family joke for the weekend.... we were all barkin' @ each other every now & then...

Hope you can squeeze in a nap!

MKR, sorry to hear your knee's still popping out. Mine does that every now & then out of the blue...it just goes sideways. No ACL. I know I should were my brace more. Glad your Dad's home. That must be a huge relief for you. Still sending prayers. It's hard watching them slow down...
Hope you start sleeping better. Glad your son's results came out good.

Lushy, glad you had such a great weekend. what color did you paint? That reminds me... I have a painting job, I've been putting off waiting for bad weather. It's been so nice lately, & I've had a lot going on...

ScMary, great to see ya! Have fun @ school... Is that possible in the summer?

Everybody else...Love you Bunches!
Great Big Hugs,
Judie

Hi all,

Hooray! School is finally out for summer! We all had a nice morning, the boys started summer day care and I actually got to work on time.

I ended up going a little over yesterday because I let Mom-in-Law (or is that Monster-in Law) push my buttons. I opened a bottle of wine a little late in the day for a Sunday and ended up drinking 2 glasses before I tossed the rest down the sink. She and I need to talk about how she is interacting with the boys, but I was not in the mood yesterday nor today to deal with it. For the most part, I have always let her do her own thing when it comes to her grandsons, but lately, they are such a handful and their manners are atrocious when I get them back from her.

I did get some great news last Thursday; my son with the learning disabilities was invited to attend GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) next year because his 3rd grade math scores were exceptional. His dad and I are very proud of him.

Chat with you later,
Laura

Laura that is such great news about your son.

PP I note a bit of sarcasm about the dear,sweet hubby. Let me guess he didn't ask you anything about it, did he?

Lushy, glad you had a nice weekend and I see you are now the 6th most annoying member. Interesting. Who is in front of you or are we waiting for those results?

MKR-Hope your knee feels better.

Mar, Chrysa and Sammy, Zin, Soccermom (very funny Lucky comment) and BB always nice to see you.

Everyone looks lively as ever here....

Got back from the Dr and have an aircast for 2 weeks, nothing broken so that's good news. Just can't move very fast or put much weight on it.

To all else who come, have a great day.
