PMS in a Handbasket--Don't be afraid, just bring us food... Part 22

[Mysteria]

Now I see some people! Phew you really weren't hiding.

 

[Tiffer]

He was feeling pretty good compared to yesterday. Then he was standing and grabbed the chair, went pale and was in obvious pain. Then it went away but he didn't feel as good as he did before that. All in all much better than yesterday though. Thanks for asking. How's your mom?

Poor Myster

 

[Tiffer]

Now I see dead people! Phew you really weren't hiding.

 

[Mysteria]

 

[Tiffer]

Well, it's been slow around here, we need to amuse ourselves!

Come to msn. I found the dead people still talking.

Dinner is done and now we are watching lat weeks pushing daisys.
Anyone watch this show??

I watched last weeks last night. I like it so far, except for the narration? That part is odd.

Snowy...Teva...love fest 07...GET A ROOM!

Jealous, Tifferooni?
It's just our thing..................someday, when I finally meet Teva, I am gonna yell TEEEEEEEEVA! and brightly colored letters will float outta my mouth!

Double

ty Woman, Officer and A Gentleman and The Breakfast Club for me!

Mine is Forest Gump!!

OK, back to dial-up...
So, all I have to do is get one of those AOL disc thingys and then Tig or someone will help me from there?

YES!!! Go get one at Target. They are free and it is fairly easy to set up. Are you bringing your laptop?

Thanks for the hugs. I'm falling apart.

 

[MemoryMakers2669]

Come on, everyone sing it together!!!

Doo your tatas hang low
Do they wobble to and fro
Can you tie them in a knot
Can you tie them in a bow
Can you throw them over your shoulder
Like a contenental soldier
Do you tatas hang low?

Oh Good Grief!

I think I just need to go to bed tonight. Maybe I'll be back tomorrow. I'd prefer to just disappear.

ETA, for those of you who aren't aware, my 17yo son has Tourette's. The courage that he shows on a daily basis can put the rest of us to shame. I think it's time to take a xanax or two to add to my percocet and just go to bed.

Oh Tiggy! I didn't know that about your son at all! Sorry you are having such a rough time! Keep your chin up chick, just one more week to go!

Come to msn. I found the dead people still talking.

 

[Tigger&Belle]

I'll be ok...a very sad, emotional night. Sometimes things just hit me in the gut even when I know there weren't any mean intentions.

 

[sumrmist]

Tig, things are rough for you right now. None of us would ever say or do anything to hurt you or hit you in the gut. We are all about acceptance right? Nothing would ever be said here to be mean or spiteful in anyway, at least not from the regulars in the group.

 

[Tigger&Belle]

TS is one of the most misunderstood conditions and it's not uncommon for there to be comments about it. Thankfully Ben handles it so well and doesn't get down about it too much. He really is an awesome kid and handles it much better than any of his siblings would. Ask Paige what he's like since she got to spend some time with him this summer. BTW, the kid still drives me crazy at times.

 

[sumrmist]

hes a kid hes spose to drive ya crazy...

 

[Shugardrawers]

So.......what's that make me then?

It makes you someone who has given everything she has to give and more to someone who refuses to accept his own reality. It's also quite different because he's not only a man, he's a hispanic man. Genetically and culturally he's hard wired to be the strong macho provider. Showing any vulnerability is not in his make up. The harder and further away he pushes all of you, the less you'll see and, in his perception, the less you'll suffer because of his "weakness".

As a woman, my guilt is usually about things like not being able to nuture Bruce the way I'd like. It's hard to see him work 12 hour days, 7 days a week then come home to find me not feeling well so he has to cook dinner and do the laundry and the dishes. And he doesn't get too much mattress dancing anymore, usually because I'm so tired all the time. I'm hard wired to take care of hearth and home, cook up a good meal and then serve up a spicy dessert but I'm not because I don't feel well. It's very hard not to feel guilty about that.

 

[sumrmist]

hey shug..whats the name of that drink you mentioned the other day...with teh Baileys and all that other good stuff?

 

[paigevz]

Paige you are not like the people I mentioned. You have stuck around, worried and have done everything in your power to keep things going good for your kids, for your DH , and for you.

My Paigey, that makes you in a totally different place than Shug. Different circumstances. Different relationship. You can only give so much of yourself without getting anything back. I don't know how you've lasted as long as you have.

Someone in a different situation than what they were referring too.

Ah, I see. I do feel better, believe it or not. I know what I'm doing is right, but you know, I still want to know others think well of me.

I think I just need to go to bed tonight. Maybe I'll be back tomorrow. I'd prefer to just disappear.

ETA, for those of you who aren't aware, my 17yo son has Tourette's. The courage that he shows on a daily basis can put the rest of us to shame. I think it's time to take a xanax or two to add to my percocet and just go to bed.

You don't need to disappear anywhere. And you are so right. He is a remarkable child. Graduating early, one of the youngest in his class, he took my son completely under his wing, though he's almost 5 years younger and showed him the ropes, heck, the kid even has his own business and has had for a couple of years!!!!! He's personable and enjoyable and charismatic. His accomplishments would be remarkable for any kid his age, but for a kid with his challenges, they're downright incredible! You be proud mama Tig.

 

[Tigger&Belle]

Shug. For the record, I think that you are fantastic and do a heck of a lot, all things considered. I know that you must feel like crap so much of the time, but you still make it to your appts, often do cook things, and are fighting a tough battle. Those are things to be proud of, Tammy.

Thank you so much Paige. Now where do I send the check?

 

[sumrmist]

dont forget she bakes cookies for them too !! I bake once or twice a year unless you count the break and bake kind.

 

[paigevz]

Shug, you don't have to have guilt. You are fighting for your life. Whatever you do is icing on the cake as far as he's concerned I'm sure.
