When the phone rings at 3:13am, it's never good news.

Please pray for my hubby, and my little ones today and in the days to come. MIL passed away this morning. My heart hurts.

 

[celerystalker]

Prayers and hugs all around.

I know I read all the posts on the cb when the MIL bashing starts and I think....wow I must of been blessed to have had such a great mil...sounds like you had a good one too...Steph I know your heart aches for your mil and hubby and the kiddos.....Losing mil and my mom within 6 months of each other....it hurt so much and still the ache can still be felt when I look around me......all of my siblings and spouses and our kiddos and their kiddos and some of those kiddos kiddoes......we were definitely blessed with a great family....

Celery what are you doing up at the crack....well not the crack of dawn...but early......

Snow is hitting us now ........I am not a fan of snow........."but you guys already know that"......YUCK.....
Rule number one for those that dont know northeasters......you do not shovel until the last flake has flaked.....I mean landed.....and sometimes the drifting is the worse part.....the winds take the snow from other peoples areas and deposit it on ours.....geesh......mother nature knows that let the other people keep their own flakes......

Sandy and steph.....many prayers going out to you guys from all of us

 

[Sandy321]

He had a better night - the nurse said he slept "w/o incident" *sigh... I sincerely hope so!

Steph surrounding you with prayers and love also!!

Moo I know you hot tubbin people go OUTSIDE in COLD - but I still dont get it!! lol, I know its hugely popular in Utah!

Marita what's for dinner tonight? (we havent eaten dinner since Wed. just noshin... last night it was dry cereal I saved from breakfast - heading out for breakfast and seein what I can "save" for dinner!!

Mony Sounds like you have some goog plans for today!

Ali thanks for your texts! I think I responded once - I've been texting a lot, and getting lots of texts.... sometimes when we're with doctors, social workers... I'm easily distracted. and I have no sense of time. It feels like we've been here over one week. Like, when I found out he hadnt showered, I thought, he hasnt showered in 4 days at least... but then I realized it was only Sat 4pm, he showered Friday.

I'm exhausted. and I'm so not up to the wedding. and that makes me cry.

and they worked on the seating chart for dinner. NO way do I want to sit with her mom and her husband + a professor + bride's godmother (only speaks Spanish) + my mil and sil (whom do NOT like me - I robbed the cradle and am a very bad person, they dont talk to me - 27 years!)

wedding drama sucks! not as much as being in a hospital, so I can put it in perspective and I'm goog!

Again, thanks everyone for your heartfelt prayers - they're working!

. sometimes when we're with doctors, social workers... I'm easily distracted. and I have no sense of time.

I call that "hospital time". I hope he continues to improve and the wedding is a day of joy.

When the phone rings at 3:13am, it's never good news.

:

That is true. How wonderful that you had just a great relationship.

Twink naughty? Harumph!

um, I mean Harumph!

See? All it takes is a little marketing to make it all good!

I am way too young to have hair this "blonde" however. My hair is (was?) a very reddish coppery brown and they say you stop making the red pigments first so your hair tends to get darker before it goes gray. My hair isn't getting darker, just silver....wait a minute, that is not silver that is energy with experience.



Goldenchild be'urked ALL night. The teenager started at 4 am. They are both still unable to keep water down. I am about to go to the walmarts to stock up on clorox, lysol, and sprite.

 

[monymony3471]

Steph, sorry about your loss. I meant to post that earlier.

Much love and prayers going out to you all.

[Backstage_Gal]

Prayers and , Steph and Sandy

Sandy, leftovers for dinner here. Enjoy the wedding!

EEk on the bug, Twinks.

Mony, heading for FB to check out the pics. If I can find them.

Have a good Sunday, all!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

OK, now I'm freaking out about my mother. Her phone has been ringing busy for an hour, and there is nobody that she would talk to that long.
Tried calling my brothers house, no answer. Bro and SIL are both around 70 and not likely to go out on a Sunday night (after 8 pm there).

I hope she is ok

 

[NAB]

Sandy -- sorry to hear about your son. And on top to have to have stress about the wedding. Your in my prayers.

Steph-- Your in my prayers as well. Sorry to hear about your MIL.

Someone please tell it to stop snowing! We decide last minute to go see my Mom on Friday night. We just got home , which took us forever and had to snowblow to get in the drive way.

We usually wait until it is done snowing too. I think we got a good foot or more. Running out of place to put the stuff.

Did get to see Benjamin Button last night while grandma babysat. That is one long movie but I liked it. Not sure hubby did.

Now I have to get the washer going so kids have clean clothes for school , that is if it isn't a snow day.

 

[Celerymama60]

Prayers and hugs going your way.

....all my prayers.....for sandy & javamom,

..i wish i could make ..to comfort you thru such terrible

life challenges...& loss. ..i even be happy if i could find


.....some comfort words....to support your needs.


all i have to offer..is my prayers, and all my happy thoughts that

....i hoping..rally your inner strengths...and your faith...to see you thru

..these dark days of despair & helplessness...


i don't kno...if what "i think"...has meanings, but i believe....in trying.

"thank you", ......... for seeking us out, in this tiny group.
for you're bravery, giving us the oppturnity...sharing of feelings. such
is life & its hardships.....of keeping safe,"iam", so sorry for both your
losses [health & life]. . please take a few seconds...where
iam hoping there can be found a comfort measure. i think here, we feel
the emotional pain, from such burdens...

hearing your struggles, made me think...what i've taken for granted. and
that what we hold so dear, isn't something we have forever...is also my
#1 fear.

jus..a gently reminder..there's is always a ray of hope..in that all the grief
shall pass...whatever be , becomes, *just because all the gifts..our loved
ones shared with time, will always remain ..in our hearts.,"giving us",
meanings, to our special feelings...for the rest of our days...until we pass
them on ...to all we know, as....... friends & family.

* this i kno..thru my own experiences, my life adventures.


ironically...i was in my own world of thinking...where it occurred to me..
..that many, spend pondering~ where do they go when the "body" loses
it life~sustaining properties?...had me wondering..,where was "i" before
"i" came..into the world?...& then i "thought"...how science describe the
many ways of thinking, {including math},
tells..us...nothing = nothing, so for "us"..to become a part of his world,
we were, in ~deeds...a source of energy....which i believe, best defined,
of an unknown substance... & even "science"...has
no knowledge of....that "is".....& therefore, can only be reach by our faith.
{ faith to me, is of all i believe is true..in my heart...the orgin of all
our most important feelings...& the things we hope to hold onto } ,

to me..this means..nobody or anything..can take away...the feelings
i have...in my heart & soul... , no matter what we lose in life.

i think..science..has in~deeds..discover the process of making a new
life, but haven't "figured " out...the process on how our souls are placed.
besides, what makes our being -"there" also give us feelings toward the
land, & all its elements (fall, spring,summer & winter), ....when we "make"
our grand enterance.

* say or, believe whatever...you desire....but....we learn "fast'..no
matter..how critcial ill...a newborn was.....its chances..for survival
"jumped"....way up....by letting the mother hold her newborn...
right after birth..think bout that fact..& its meanings..for all
the things we do in life? hugging, holding, whispering, and caring..
are "exchanges"....with an effect. math that one can "count~on"!

... , but connected to our coping skills...we can do better
with our world..by reality orientation...& recognizing its first principle
... we are more accurate..when refer....to its margins....instead
of a single point....in measuring it's total value. in that, explains,
the differnce of our value system....& "giving"...an expanding
insight..to make out all the things we pick up by our sensory
preceptions. so this made me feel,

..the things in which has molded me..are time, weather, and all
who have share their beings, though mamy, many have long
passed on.

...* my current career.....is nothing more than an "accident". but
right a~way....reality..made it self evident....defining the
boundaries..between { positive outcomes } & { negative ones}
....were best measured...using the feelings...we all share. it has
the effect..to redirect & show..the many different ways...to
correct mistakes...& recovery from emotional pains ( losses &
lonliness), ...if you tell me you're "cold'..backie? gal..i kno what
that means...happy, hot, sad, depress, ..so forth....& can imagined
the causes..of such feelings , sometimes tears.

..me too, ...but i also kno...its true...those same tears...
..can be of joys...especially the things we share,

reality..can be both..a "pin point" & 2 margins..a very good thing
to understand..in life., for improving our relationships...& the
reason why.....the ays we treat others.....also effect our quality
in life.

...for me, & my losses....our family most prized.....possessions, are
the home movies...8mm. our parents.....did not stay long. but
they spend many times, living .."fast & furious"...good & bad,
....the movies..like cherish memories....are our insights....of
living together....made up the impact..of what family values
we gave to our children. [ even their deaths..taught us that
death..can never be prepared for....over long term illness or
sudden- the pain of losing is the same. ]. but from the movies,
and memories...inspired my feelings..that the best way, to honor
your parents..is to create...a memory from happiness...that
the whole family would share in.,

& while my parents...could never afford..to take "us", 10 kids..to
disneyland..but that dosen't mean...that "we" were excluded. the
things..mr. disney for..were the same things...our parents gave us.
....i wish, i could show..the movie...of my parents, in their 50's,
tossing a big ball [ mickey, would'nt you know it?]....& playing
keep away from ...astro?....our english sheep dog,..20 years....
before....jordan was born. however, there has been times..i have
caught..jordan, acting..exaclty..like my mother. a person she
never met., that is very much a...part of her life. & mine.

ever trip..to disney....is family oriented, & we always....seem
to find..something..that reminds us, by





* what i like about relying on family values...& reality orientation? the
future isn't written..until one decides....so no matter what the
handicaps, the odds can be changed..into producing the things
we 'll want to remember. and while we have many differences....
...all share.....common feelings. now if we can improved the ways
we separate..the negative from the positive, we can help ourselves,
& each other.

wow..the way life work, is pretty amazing....& i'm like everyone
else....grateful, that things..like prayers, hope, faith, friends,
family....are the best ways..toward positive..outcomes..no matter
....the scary things..we face every day.

such the things, i have learn from other & especially..doing my
current work. ..still, like everyone..else...don't think...i am
saint...don't believe me?...jus asked that lady..on the ship. on
my free time..i have low tolerance..toward bullys & meanies.
also funny.. how that neighbor stated, "you don't kno..who 're
messin with"...sorry-for him, but i certainly did...& thats why he
facing criminal charges....now!


again, sandy & javam....this is me, & how i think... i sure hope...
you find..some comfort...that we care & hoping the best for you
& your familes..as you work thru....these trouble times,

 

[Backstage_Gal]

My brother just called. I got scared. But apparently he saw the missed calls number. All is OK at home with mom. WHew!


I searched flights earlier while I was scared about mom. Kayak gave me anything starting from $2,200 to up to $3,200, whith duration of 21- 30+ hours for the flight.

Airfare.com gave me $670 for 12 or so hours

I'm so on an emotional rollercoaster! I'm exhausted. I am strong while I'm with Ryan, he needs it, and I draw that strength with the help of prayers -

tonight he was doing well, still not 100% but he cant read. and that frustrates him. He can write. He cant do his crossword puzzle, and he knows he should be able to. He gets agited - and tonight when we all left at 8 at the end, we tried to stagger our leaving - and he was determined to leave with us.

and it broke my heart, he accepted it. But when I hugged him, and he hugged me back, I could feel his silent tears... and he's so very very thin.

 

[NAB]

Sandy-- I feel your pain though your post, How old is your son?

Steph-- Glad your hubby is finally getting some rest. I know how hard that is at times like this. Like you could have done more for them and you miss them so.

Marita-- Sorry for the scare you got as well. I only live 2 hours away can't image being as far as you do from your family.

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Oh Sandy, Im so very sorry!!!! Sending prayers and your way! Just trust that all will be well.

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Hubby and I took a little road trip this afternoon and went out to dinner at Red Lobster. It was nice to get out and about.
