Hi everyone! It looks like it's been a couple of days since I've posted here.
Thanks for the hugs, Dee and Judy.
Barb, I'm sorry to hear Cody missed being picked for the National Honor Society. That's got to be disappointing for him as well as you.
Hugs to Pam! Please pass them on to her.
Ginny, that's cool that two of your kids took you out for breakfast yesterday. I feel badly for your husband too. It must be very difficult to face the end of your life. I wonder if he is thinking of all his regrets, the things he knows he should have done but didn't or things he knows he shouldn't have done that he did. I hope he takes the time for reconciliation and restoration with those he's hurt, especially those in the family. I pray too, that he will turn his heart back to God and begin to develop a relationship with him again.
Linda, it sounds like you have a busy day again. I wish you weren't having such difficulty with your doctor bills.
Melissa, I hope that migraine continues to get less and less, rather than increasing. I guess definitions of spring springing differs from region to region. We still have most everything covered with snow (other than main thoroughfares), but it's beginning to melt. THAT to me is the sign of spring, even though the temps remain in the 30s or low 40s. As the snow melts, it's uncovering all the rabbit droppings that are liberally sprinkled in the snow, especially those around my car. Ick! But the rabbit is really cute and I think he made the underneath of our back porch his winter home. It's about as close to a rabbit as I can get. My severest allergies are rabbit-related.
I'm tired. I'm going to go sleep even though I know I shouldn't.

Have a nice nap Maggie.
Linda, doctor bills are the pits. Too bad they won't negotiate with you to reduce the amount owed. Remind me not to go to the for medical care. Can you get disability for your husband? Or did you do that and I forgot?
Well I've started going thru all the medical insurance statements to try and find dates of service and doctor names. Hubby threw out all the original doctor statements so now I've got to try and find something to go by for why we are going for disability. I will go to the hospital tomorrow and see about medical records from there. And I think I'll contact our doctors to let them know we are applying for disability.
I do need to do some cleaning today too especially change hubby's bedding. I've got 3 sheets soaking but I did find a clean sheet that I can put on the bed. He's been sleeping most of the morning. Right now he's eating the scrambled eggs and the sausage I made for him. I made him eat a banana for breakfast so he gets his potassium. When I was in the hospital they were gung ho on having good potassium levels.

Hi again, ladies. I'm happy to say my day got much better. Yes, the dr bills are the pits, but I'll deal with them. Just have to keep reminding myself to be thankful I'm not sick. And I am.
I had some interesting experiences today, and now I'm waiting for Garrett to get off the bus so we can go to the backyard and sit & swing, maybe even read his new book. While at the therapy center with Garrett, I met an elderly man . . retired minister, who wrote a small book of poetry. He had a book with him, his own copy, and handed it to me to read one particular poem he'd written about his wife's hospice care and what that meant to him. I'm really not into poetry, but I have to say this was really good. The first poem in the book was dedicated to his wife of (then) 25 years, and was very well written, and very beautiful. I didn't get to finish it, but he told me where to find a book, so I drove across town to buy one before taking Garrett on to school. The man actually quoted 3 or 4 of his poems to me and I was very impressed with, not only the writing, but the heart that seemed to be behind them. I hope to run into him again and get him to sign my book.
Ok, Garrett's bus interrupted me, so now we've spent some time in the backyard, I've read the book, and we got rather chilled so came back in. Not before Garrett had a good time riding his tricycle all over the yard tho  . . . The book was good, tho I have to say I enjoyed hearing him quote the poems more 
BN bhhj.., CX n90096y ,.,,,,,,,, mm m b v
Hmmmmmm . . interrupted again, and some little fingers decided to take over for me 
Now it's evening, we've had a healthy supper of salad, then Garrett & I pigged out on some Lay's tater chips  . . pitiful. I'm ready for daddy to come pick him up. In the meantime, I've had him lie on the sofa to rest.
To continue with my day, I also went to deliver the laptop battery to they elderly man I sew for. This gentleman is 89 y/o, was at Iwo Jima, and has been all over the world. I love to hear him relate some of his many experiences. It gives me a real taste of history from a very human perspective. He still gets emotional when he talks about the war, about the horrible-ness of it. He's lived overseas the last few decades, so this is a whole new country and new culture to him. Besides being homesick for the life he was used to living, I think he is very lonely, and hasn't received the best reception from people in the community, or at least the neighbors and his few living relatives. I guess it's that which makes him so appreciative of me, and also that which makes it very difficult for me to pull myself away when he obviously wants to talk, seems to need to talk, even tho I really don't have a lot of time to spend with him. He's asking me to do more & more for him . . . now wants me to help him shop for a new laptop and possibly the internet.

B was so hurt after her grandma's death she has had nothing to do with him since then. She did accept my invitation to be a friend on facebook and became a friend to all her younger siblings so she is aware of what they write and of her dad's health. We are hoping she will contact him, make an effort to acknowledge him before he dies.

I pray too, that he will turn his heart back to God and begin to develop a relationship with him again. His heart is back to God and he does have a relationship with him. He just didn't grow deeper in the spiritual relationship that bible reading and church going would have done for him. He actually has greater faith than I do. I get plague with doubts. My husband doesn't doubt. And he is not angry with God. He pleads with him for help. There are things hubby has said and done that I wish he wouldn't have said and done and his God knowledge is limited but Maggie he does believe in Him.

My severest allergies are rabbit-related. then I hope the little rabbits stay far far away from you.

I hope to run into him again and get him to sign my book. I hope you do too. That is so cool, Linda, that you started up a relationship with a perfect stranger and got to know his poetry and him. I would like to read the poem about his wife.
quote:
He's asking me to do more & more for him You are a very compassionate woman. This man knows it and he's reaching out for more. I feel for him. I wonder how well I will do when my husband is gone and I'm left all alone. I will need friends to talk to. Thank you Linda for being a friend to this man. Jesus will remember all you do for other people. Someday you will inherit a rich reward.

My cold is improving everyday so far..but I guess I shared it with these four girls. They are all coughing now. Poor things I'm glad your cold is improving. But it is not good you were generous and shared it with the girls. That's not good. Hope all get over it quickly.

Wow, Judy, that's very cool! Glad your dishwasher is back to working. I know you must be too. Also glad you got back to Rome. I didn't know that a hernia can be treated by medication. That sure beats surgery!
Ginny, I hope you are able to get hubby's medical records without too much hassle. I am keepng you and your family in my prayers. How is your grandson doing at school this week?
Ya know, my prayer on March 1 was that God would carry me through the next ten working days. Yesterday was my last full day to work and I made it! I praise God for this. It was certainly not in my own strength. Thank you to all who sent up prayers for me. I believe He heard every one!
Leah, thanks for sharing your day with us. You are a busy woman! My father is a WW2 veteran and will tell anyone his war stories if they want to listen. You are a good listener for this man. I agree with Ginny, you are very compassionate. And, I have a feeling that IF you do have time to help, this man will soon be enjoying his new laptop....
Barb, hope you and those grandbabies are soon feeling much better.
Everyone, have a good evening and may God's peace be with you.

Judy, are you saying it costs 6 dollars for you to ask a question on 'Just Answers'? Hooray for a dishwasher that now works and you saved yourself the cost of a repairman. You don't always have to reply to everyone to post a comment. Sometimes I don't. I for one like to hear what YOU are doing. When is the colonoscopy?
I don't have my grandson tonight. Both my daughter and I went to pick him from school today. I got there first. J complained the whole time to my house. He wanted me to take him to his other grandma's house for him to stay the night there. Was a real burger about it. My daughter was in the car line when she saw me drive away so she came over to my house. After she got out of her car we discussed J's behavior. DD knew I was not up to bad behavior and shenanigans so she called the other grandma and J IS going to stay there. I'm a little sad he didn't want to stay with me at the same time I'm relieved because I've been struggling today with depression.

Ginny, I am sending hugs your way. You are going through so much, depression is certainly understandable. I wanted to ask your permission to put you and your family on my church's prayer list. I don't have to know your names. God knows who you are. I just want to do this for you. You can never have too many people praying for you. Personally, I find great comfort when I know there are prayer warriors praying for me. Perhaps, you will feel the same. Just let me know.

My sister is a minister of this church. It's called a Course in Miracles and the theology has a lot of what a biblical church has but it isn't a biblical church. Please pray for her. My sister is a great encourager and is a compassionate person. She is sending me messages calling me to keep my faith in God and to remember that we can do all things through God who strenghtens us. Her comments are in many ways true but there is falseness in the teachings and beliefs she believes.

Awwwwww (((Ginny))) that hurts!! That hurts bad and I, for one, am not very good with handling those kind of emotions so I know just how much it can hurt. I am already the dreading the day little Alex does that to me. I have had my other grandkids do that and it did not feel good.
Kind of worded that wrong, didn't I Melissa? No it doesn't "fix" the hernia, just keeps the symptoms down and possible from getting worse. My doctor told me in the past they would not give me anything more if it got worse and I would have to have surgery so I was very happy they are trying this. Now if I will just lose that extra 20-25 pounds 
Ya know, my prayer on March 1 was that God would carry me through the next ten Oh hallelujah!!!! But I just pray soon it will be more than "just getting through" and you will have relief from this!
Yes YEAH YEAH YEAH!! THANK GOD for that working on the dishwasher. From all I read it was going to cost from 250 on up to get it worked on and that was IF we could even find someone! It cost me nine dollars but I had credit and then went back afterwards and gave him a ten dollar tip. Just wish I would have followed my instincts and written them three days ago.
I am feeling very guilty tonight because that women's Bible study is tonight and, once again, I did not go.

Waking up to a quiet Friday morning. No hurry to get kids up for school because they are out today. I work til noon, so, I am hoping for a nice, quiet day. The forecast is not looking quiet though, storms are headed. Judy, you are not calling for nice weather, either. How ya liking that thunder and lightning, now ? Stay in and be safe, mom!
Also, I hope that you will soon be on track with the ladies bible study. You've been so sick, it was probally wise that you didn't go. You know how sick you have felt, don't feel too guilty.
I went to my group Monday night and it was very good. The lesson was on fear versus faith. This really hit home personally for me. I have fears that I am too afraid to speak about. In my mind, I think that if I speak them it gives the enemy an extra stronghold. It was a very emotional group meeting, I cried like a baby! It also didn't help that I had the migraine that got stronger as I sat there. Yes, I do believe alot of my migraine has to do with stress. I am tired of feeling so fearful. I have got to learn to put Tommy and his traveling in the Lord's hands and LEAVE him there. It's really affecting my health. And, I am tired of allowing the fears to keep me in bondage, so please, if you will, keep me in your prayers....
I am remembering you all in my prayers as well. Love to each of you!

I feel guilty when I don't go to church or Life Group. Let it go Judy. And plan yes plan on going in the future. You really do need the support you get when you do.
Melissa, I wish I could have been at your study. Fears consume me or have. I know God is dealing with them. And if you don't mind I will pray for you and yours.
I woke up in peace this morning praying to the Father and Jesus giving over to them my trials and having peace. Then I got up and fixed scrambled eggs with cheese, sausage, and cinnamon toast for my hubby and son. Z slept on the living chair last night. I sleep on the couch every night so was right there next to him. Z has taken to coming up from the downstairs and reading in that chair each night. That way he's closer to us.
I asked him and yes he misses his dad coming to his baseball practices. Hubby seems to be in good humor. He's eating alright not a lot but alright. And the narcotic the doctor gave him is helping quite a bit with the pain.

Good morning, friends!
I was reading my ds1's journal, "The Economist," and it reports on a study done about afternoon napping. Apparently, people who nap for about 1 1/2 hours after lunch have fewer heart attacks AND their memory is better. At last! A good justification for napping!
I've decided that I need to get better control of my sleeping/awake hours and, looking at what was practical and could work, decided that getting to bed around 11:00 p.m. is something I can do even if I'm out that evening. Then I'll set the alarm for 8:00 a.m. and get up but will plan to have a nap in the early afternoon (also setting an alarm then so I don't oversleep).
I started this last night, though I got to bed an hour later than planned, and woke up at 5:20 this morning. I tried to go back to sleep but I couldn't so I got up, fixed a simple breakfast, took it down to my prayer room and spent time with God before coming back upstairs to ride my bike. And it's only 8:30. It feels like I have the whole day ahead and I've already accomplished what I try to do each day. That feels good. For some reason, it's easier for me to go to my prayer room if I get up early, than if I sleep late.

I love to hear the stories, from the elderly, about the "old times"
They make you feel like you are right there liveing it w/ them. I do too! Especially when they are family, though not just family. When I finally didn't have any kids at home during the day, I started visiting my great-aunts on a regular basis, asking them questions and getting to know more about our family history. I really enjoyed it, and THEY enjoyed having someone "young" come visit them. My next-door neighbour is in her early 80s and was a child and teenager in Germany during WWII. Her stories are so interesting and I enjoy hearing the "other side" of the war, especially from a civilian's point of view.

I do hope too, that he can restore relationship with his daughter. I hope she is willing because if she isn't, the time will come when she will regret that choice.

This rabbit has sure left a lot of droppings, especially right where I walk to and from the car. I've asked ds2 to clean that up for me. I'm not keen about stepping on them, but I can hardly avoid them.
Judy, that is really cool that you were able to fix your dishwasher just by spending $6 to ask a question. Wow!
Melissa, I'm glad you've made it through those ten working days successfully. Are you done with work now? What was special about those ten days? (If you told, I've forgotten.)
Ginny, that's really hurtful that your grandson asked to go to his other grandma's when he was scheduled to be with you. On the other hand, it's nice that your daughter recognised that you weren't up to "bad behaviour and shenanigans" and rescued you.
As for your sister, take from her what is true, but I would encourage you to not read any of her literature. Doing that will just plant doubts in your mind and you don't need that.
That's cool that you woke up in peace and prayer this morning. Isn't that just the best? It's nice too, that Z sits and reads near where you are. I like it when my family is nearby like that.
I'm glad your husband seems to be in good humour. That will be helpful for him and all of you.

Good morning everyone!! I think I may have about 10 minutes to write, uninterrupted. DD went to the doctor. Her doctor is good enough to give her samples and only charges half of her regular charge for Meg so that helps a lot. dd is getting worse, mentally I think. There are more bad days than good now. She thinks only about finding a man and, in her state, that would probably destroy her. She goes up to her room and sleeps a lot. I worry so much but am getting tired of the constant worry. I know that sounds selfish.
I know, I know, Melissa and Ginny. I NEED that Bible study. Oh did God ever put the conviction on me last night. Our time changes back to Daylight saving time Sunday so maybe I will get up the nerve to drive if it is daylight. I think it is YOUR Bible study I need, Melissa! I am down today, feeling ancient. Vanity, I know but the last couple of years age has really crept up on me. I don't like it.
WOW talk about bad weather. I have never seen it rain like this. Our gutters could not keep up and it rained in the kitchen window. I know it did in the basement too but I can't bring myself to go look 
Well, laundry calls. More later.

Hi ladies, hope you are all well.
Maggie, every month from the 1st-10th, is rent collecting days at my work. Those are the days that I am needed the very most and it is important that I be there. The rest of the days of the month I only work til noon.
Judy, my laundry is calling you, too. Wanna come over??? Hope you are feeling better. Maybe the medicine will work to lessen your symptoms of the hernia. Did the doctor tell you to be careful about bending and/or lifting? Be careful with that laundry! Sorry, Meg is having some really bad days. Is she still writing or has she stopped doing that?
Ginny, so glad that you felt at peace today. God is wonderful like that, isn't he? I realized at my group study that I have not been feeling much of His peace lately. Fear has a way of robbing me of that. We have to remind ourselves that He loves us with His Perfect Love. His love conquers all fear. I think it's also important to remember that He doesn't give us the spirit of fear. We all know where that comes from....I'm glad you and I both are feeling more at peace today. May He continue to fill each one of us to overflowing with His love and peace today!
Hubby is about two hours or less away from home. I am excited .

Melissa, I'm glad it is now past the 10th for you!
My neighbor lady is Japanese, and lost both parents during WWII, leaving her to raise her siblings (she lost 2 very young siblings during the war as well). She ended up marrying an American soldier and coming to this country. It is a fascinating story; very sad though also. She is an amazing lady.
Ginny, I'm sorry that your grandson was hurtful, and also that he got his way out of the deal, but I'm glad that you didn't have to deal with him like that.
Judy, how wonderful about the dishwasher! I hope you can get back to Bible study; don't make yourself feel too bad about missing though. You've been sick! I understand about the constant worry; it doesn't sound selfish wanting to not have that. My daughter's senior year, last year, was like that for me. She was preparing to make some bad, in my opinion, choices. I still feel they were bad choices that she made. So now she is married, and will be having a baby this summer. She lives 1.5 hours away, so that helps me step back and not worry so much any more. Thankfully. Last year was absolutely exhausting for me. I'm still praying that God works in a mighty way in her and her husband's life. I'm praying that your worry be lifted.
Hubby told me that he had 32 hour work weeks the next two weeks. He called today and told me next week was back up to 40 hours, so we talked about which day to work. I was glad he was going to have 40 hours; we'll see what happens with the next week.
The kids are off of school now for spring break. K is trying to clean and organize her room. Her dad made some bookshelves for their room and they have to rearrange a bit. My neighbor lady has a garage sale Mother's day weekend every year so we'll have one too. Hopefully it won't rain because not much would go in the garage. I've gotten R to decide to part with some things; hopefully they don't get drug back in the house.

My daughter called and asked if I could pick up the her boys from school.. I said yes no problem. After I picked up the oldest I picked up the youngest taking both back to my daughter's house. I let her know they were there and almost left but instead I went to check to see what the youngest was doing. He had his guinea pig out of the cage and in the back yard playing with it by letting it on the ground and then picking it up again.
I told him to take the guinea pig back to her cage. He didn't listen to me. Instead he took the guinea pig over to be seen by the neighbor's two dogs. The guinea pig got loose and scrambled into the neighbor's yard on the other side of my grandson's fence where by the grandson couldn't easily pick it back up again. Up and down the perimeter of the fence this guinea pig ran with the dogs following after and my grandson on the other side helpless to get a hold of her. The two dogs converged on the guinea pig and proceeded to eat her in front of my 6 year old grandson. He cried in despair and I ran to get his mom.
It was useless to try and get the pig out of the dogs mouths once they got a hold of it. They ate it too fast. So my grandson because he didn't listen to me had the trauma of watching his disobedience being acted out on the poor helpless guinea pig. It died quickly. The shock will last a while.
And it is yet another thing to handle in my daughter's household.

Ginny, that is a terrible thing, but perhaps it will teach your grandson that there is a reason you say what you do and there are consequences for disobedience.
Love him up tonight, then gently remind him tomorrow that sometimes Grandma really does know what she's talking about.

Oh dear, Ginny, that's just horrible! I feel bad for your grandson and his pet.
Leah, spring cleaning is just around the corner here at my house, too. My boys have another week of school I think before their spring break. This school year seems to have passed so quickly. My middle son will be graduating from high school in May. That's hard for me to believe! When I look at him, I still see the same little boy in kindergarten who was sooo sick with asthma. He would have to tote his breathing nebulizer machine to school. When the rest of the kids were up playing in the gym at recess, there Nicholas would be, sitting in the corner of the gym, taking his breathing treatments. I use to hate that! But, he has come so far, now. I am so thankful to God for that!

I'm sorry Ginny that your grandson had to see that. Like Lisa said, definitely a lesson about obedience. So difficult though.
Lisa, hi! How has your day been?

I talked to him, called him and told him I love him. He said, "Grandma it was quick and Susy didn't suffer." I said, "Yes it was quick." He seemed to be ok with it.
Melissa, it does seem quick for our kids to get to the age they graduate from high school. These next few months you are going to be busy.
Thanks Lisa for the advice.
Thanks Dee.

I know that sounds selfish. I don't think it's selfish to be tired of the worry or to say that you are. Of course you're tired of it! These things affect our mental and physical health, sometimes in ways we're not even aware of.
Melissa, thank you for explaining about the ten days at work.
Dee, I'll bet your Japanese neighbour has some very interesting stories to tell!
Ginny, what happened to your grandson's guinea pig is awful! I like Lisa's idea: "Love him up tonight, then gently remind him tomorrow that sometimes Grandma really does know what she's talking about." I'm sure he'll be traumatised by it for quite a long time, even if he seems to be okay. Probably a LOT of hugging and loving are in order.

Good idea Lisa, about letting tomorrow worry about tomorrow! Not always easy though. I'm glad you had a good time!
Ginny, I'm so sorry your grandson had to go through that with the guinea pig on top of everything else going on in his life right now. I'm glad he has a good perspective on it; I agree with Maggie that he could be dealing with that trauma for a while though. I know you will love on him.
Yeah Maggie, I'm sure there is a lot more my neighbor could talk about!
Wow Melissa, what a joy to see your son overcome those difficulties with his health! Doesn't it just seem like each year goes faster than the last?
My second daughter is a freshman in HS, and I so don't want to see her grow up and move out. I'm dreading it; although I think that a lot of it is how difficult my oldest daughter's senior year and moving out was because of the choices she was making in her life.
