PMSers Unite!

[Missy1961]

Good morning!

 

[Aimee K]

Not sure where all this "nice" talk came from? I think you are all delusional.



Speaking of t-shirts....we wanted to make a girly shirt for DH's squadron (for the wives, not the guys ) and they are the Red Knights. Do you think a shirt with "Knight Riders" is too below board??

I think it could be tastefully done

So I'm awake because of stupid insomnia and what do I find?
The PMS'ers are alive and well!
I've been gone for several years, but I'm still the snarky one.

ANNNNNNNNNNNNN you've been missed!

Uh, no.

Well hello stranger! It's been such a long time.

 

[Tigger&Belle]

still waiting....

It's in the mail!

Hmm, that one I didn't know! I'm guessing it's with the person that knew Mickey and Minnie were girlfriend/boyfriend?

I wondered what happened to you!

Check my tag! Oops, there goes my nice and innocent ruse.

Does this mean Tig no longer has PMS??

My older daughter told my younger daughter that PMS stood for PO'd at men syndrome

 

[Mickey Fliers]

Is he changing command or is the base changing? I'm not up on military stuff!!!
Lila is NOT old enough to be starting pre-K!

It is his squadron Change of Command. He will be taking command on Sept. 9th. We have so many family and friends coming into town and I am beyond tickled to see them all. However, this damn thing is costing like a wedding!

Wasn't in vain, MF.

Right back at ya!

While I'm glad to hear that your DD11 doesn't need to go GF, I'm sorry to hear that it anxiety and stress related. She's much too young to have such worries. I will say I often wonder how much of Kathryn's is stress and anxiety related also. She still has occasional stomach problems, but can't really explain HOW it hurts, just that it hurts.

Tummy issues suck. I get them off and on and I, too, think they are anxiety related. Well, that and dairy. Sorry they have to deal with this so young.

I think it could be tastefully done

Uh, no.

How did I know you would be the first to approve. Dirty girl.


Good morning lovelies. Nothing big planned here in the Sunshine state. The new thread has me feeling a bit snarky however.

 

[phorsenuf]

Good morning! It's so nice to come on here in the mornings and back to this thread. How I've missed you all. It's great to see all the updates and that everyone is doing so well. I know many of us here had some rough times and I know for me too, having so many of you for support meant the world to me.

So Tig- fill us in on your love.

Aimee- How's Maine treating you? It was so good to see you during our travels up there. Long *** drive though, huh.

I heard this was the happening place to be

Well hello hello!!

I hate insomnia.

Morning. First day of school in our house. The girl packed her own lunch. She's getting too big. She and I also had "the talk" last weekend because she's going to have to wear camisoles this year.

For those of you not on Facebook, we've had a rough couple of years. The boy's illness got worse and we ended up taking almost all of his food away. This resulted in a lot of psychological issues for him as well. The good news is that things have been getting progressively better and we've been able to add many foods back so that he's off of the special formula he had to drink (puke juice). He's been in remission now officially for over a year and we're taking a break from all the surgeries for the next year (he's had a bunch in the last two years). We're very happy with where he is now.

Both kids are growing like weeds.

Wow Lara, what a tough couple of years. So very glad to hear he's doing better now.

Morning all....I can NOT wait for school to start..... I can't believe the children actually survived this long.

 

[kelly1218]

Umm, honey....Don't know how to tell you this, but they are all lying.

so is she

 

[Aimee K]

I am getting acclimated to Maine It was great to see you too, and yes, it was a long *** drive!

My update for those not on Facebook....

I am in the process of divorce. The girls and I moved back to Maine at the beginning of July to be closer to family. My oldest however, will be heading back to Florida on Monday to finish her senior year out there.


Amie, Lila can NOT be old enough for Pre-K

 

[phorsenuf]

Morning all....I can NOT wait for school to start..... I can't believe the children actually survived this long.

When do they go back?

Oh, are you still making beads? I had seen somewhere that people were making beads out of park maps. So last time I was there I grabbed some in case you were interested.

 

[Tigger&Belle]

My older daughter told my younger daughter that PMS stood for PO'd at men syndrome

In that case I'm not sure if I have PMS....except for my ex sometimes and the realtor all the time (realtor is a friend of said ex....) I am not really PO'd at men as long as I don't have to sleep with them.


Anxiety issues I know well. I honestly think that has always been a bigger problem for me than depression. With depression I may have *wanted* to die, but with anxiety I felt like I was dying. I'm on meds for it now (and did a fair about of self-medicating in the past ), but when I forget to take my meds it feels like there's an egg-beater in my gut and a constant, low-grade feeling of panic. I anticipate being able to sometime get off of anti-depressants, however I'd be surprised if I'm ever able to totally be off of anti-anxiety meds. Doesn't mean that the anxiety is overwhelming anymore, but that's partially because of the meds and partially due to coping skills that I didn't use to have. There are non-med things that can help anxiety--exercise is great since the release of endorphins feels a lot like anti-anxiety meds. Meditation is good, also, but trying to quiet my ADD mind is a challenge. Identifying the source of anxiety and talking with someone about it can help reduce whatever fear I am feeling. Fear of ______ is often at the root of many other things.....what we think is anger, loneliness, sadness, envy, etc, etc, often has fear as a root cause and figuring out the cause can sure help.

Ok, off my mental-health bandwagon and back to my snarky....uh I mean nice and innocent self.

 

[Tigger&Belle]

MF, why are you sending baby Lila to pre-K? No way can she be old enough!!! Where did the years go???

I know! It's crazy to think she's already that old. And look at Ash's little one. They are growing up waaaay too quickly!

 

[snapppyd]

How is it possible that all the little ones are growing up, yet my age remains the same

Because you're magic?

We still have 2 more weeks until school. And apparently we are going to get slammed by a hurricane this weekend. I guess I get to spend the rest of the week preparing for the worst. If it is as bad as they are predicting right now I am not sure I want to stay here.


Add me to the list of those that were kept sane at a time in my life when things couldn't get much lower for me. It is funny how for about 2 years I was glued to my computer 12 hours a day. Now that I am able to be active I actually don't spend much on it at all.

I need to have hip surgery that will put me off my feet for several months and may take up to a year to fully recover from and I am putting it off as long as I can. I am just not mentally prepared to be back on the couch unable to take care of myself and do the things I want. And I really want to lose most of the extra weight and get in better shape which will help that recovery.


MF: I can't believe you asked HERE about the appropriateness of something.

You all know how much the old thread/group meant to me. It saved my sanity (what sanity I had ) and my life at a very difficult time in my life.

UPDATE:

For those of you who aren't on facebook....I am now out and proud, divorced, clean and sober, happy, depression is under control, and I'm in love. Amazing all things considered! If I could do it, anyone can!

That is great! So happy for you.

I have wondered how he was doing. I am so sorry that it has been rough for him and all of you. Remission sounds great though. I hope he is able to stay there.

I'm pretty sure baby Lila is only 6 months old, but since MF is a DISer, she's got all highly gifted kids.

Second day of 7th grade and I forgot to give DS a schedule for his pocket. Now I'm worried. I suck at this parenting thing.
