One Step at a Time - August 2018

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2018

Oh - you would think that it was Friday night and I was in one of my chatty moods. Watch out! :harhar:

Did I tell you that we didn't get to see Savannah yesterday? She was spitting up quite a bit and they told them to take her in. Turns out everything is fine and they think she was eating too much! So, they have to put her on a feeding schedule. I was hoping that they would call & surprise us to come over today but now I sort of hope they don't. Hubby is in horrible pain and is out there trying to vacuum up the last of the pool water with the shop vac. I helped for a couple of minutes and then got shooed off. So, I'm in here hiding out.

Nora, don't know if you missed my comment about the picture, but I think you look very pretty and happy! I think you are too critical of yourself. If it was me I would've just posted the picture of the two of you that you liked, heck with what hubby said.

Good Afternoon, Friends!!!

My cousin and I are having an absolute blast! We saw my mom and sister, BIL, brother and SIL on Friday night and yesterday and today, we walked on the lake path, and went swimming in the lake and the beach. Right now, she is cleaning and organizing my garage. Then, she is moving to the laundry room. OOH LA LA. She is a professional caregiver and freelance organizer with a kind, nonjudgmental heart. Much love to all and I will write later.

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2018

Rusty - sounds like a wonderful visit. I'm so glad. And you are being organized. LOL

Liz - thanks, I did see your compliment and that's what got me started thinking about how much I've changed. How are you doing today? You sound a little down. :hug:

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2018

Liz...that was a stupid way to phrase it. Of course you ate down. I meant do you want to talk or anything. I'm sorry. I meant it in a loving way.

Bird, I love that you have all your musical equipment out. Must be such a fun atmosphere. How is your daughter's depression now that you have moved?

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2018

Nora, I love you! I'm ok. We have waves of sadness. Hubby got choked up at church this morning talking to a friends wife. I gave my sister all of Lucy's food, heart worm Meds and stuff. That was hard too, I miss her so much. There is such a void. I am beginning to wonder if maybe I do want another dog. I know hubby would be very opposed and there's no guarantee another dog could be half as wonderful as Lucy was.

Rusty, your weekend sounds wonderful and so does your cousin. It sounds like the perfect summer weekend. Does she visit often?

Hubby and I booked a cruise tonight for November. We wanted to go visit Mark but he doesn't have time off and will be home for Christmas anyway. We'll visit him next year I suppose. We are going to the southern Caribbean this time. I feel a little bad about Logan, but it's only one week Erin needs to find a sitter. Sissy will help out and Dan can work from home a day. I need to have something to look forward to.

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2018

Hi all,
Had a good day yest with kids over for dinner. DD2 came without her bf and spent the night. Not sure whats up with that and didn't ask. She is the quiet type and I never know what is going on. Nora, dd1 seems to be better with her depression. I know she did not like living where we were as it had so many bad memories for her. And Nora, I think your pic is beautiful. Really. Hope hubs is feeling better....Lizann, the trip sounds wonderful. Glad you liked the clam bake....Rusty glad you are having such fun...hi Pauly!....thinking about looking for a alcoholics meetup nearby. I don't like AA but might do it for a bit if I can't find anything else. I feel a f2f would be helpful...well, I am organizing my shop today, and cleaning the pool......b

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2018

Morning friends,Bird,my house has always been the "crash pad" for when the girls have bf probs,I just keep their rooms as they were and if they show up don't ask too many questions,same as you,also if I could find a nearby AA that's not in espanol I'd be more likely to go but the one in English gives me the creeps,I've mentioned it before in the past but the neighborhood its in is dodgy and I feel uncomfortable even driving through it,full of bars and prostitutes,,,no thanks Liz,glad you booked a cruise to have something to look forward to I didn't want another dog AT ALL after my weiner dog died,Kell showed up with a puppy for LB's 16th birthday and here I have Winslow haha,16 year old like boys not dogs take your time to decide down the line,Rusty,you sound like you're having a grand time,yeah! I'm happy you can work hard yet have fun hard too Nora,I loved the pic of you too,Glassy,its almost Africa time,hope you'll be able to share some pics here,alrighty off to get ready for Monday much love and have a great AF day!

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2018

Bird, it's good your daughter can come by you when something is up with the bf. A safe place to be. That pool is a lot of work, but we so enjoy ours. We just need some good weather. What a rainy summer.

Pauly, the video of Romeo is so sweet. I go to a all women's AA meeting sometimes in the morning, which I like. I was also able to find a local f2f group for WFS which I attend as well. I've been to a few shady AA meetings, but there are some good ones too, just gotta find the right one.

How was everyone else's Monday? I'm working all week. My boss asked me if I'd be willing to pick up his kids after school on the days I'm working and bring them home and stay with them until he gets home. It's so weird, I didn't know what to say. Hubby says he should pay me extra to do that for him. I don't know, he's taking that family thing a little too far? What do you guys think? I don't mind doing it, but I don't want to be taken advantage of, I don't know where or if I should draw a line somewhere, ugh!

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2018

[MENTION=19302]Lizann[/MENTION] - I think that is strange to be asked to pick up the kids. I would say no that you have to much going on in your life right now to be able to commit to that. Very odd in my opinion.

[NoraC]

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2018

It's great that your kids all know they can go home. It's so nice to have that safe place.

Finally got the pool going again. I jumped in as soon as I got home. I don't know how it got so bad so quickly but we're going to be more careful and make sure there's enough chlorine.

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2018

Hi all, just reading back and yes I've watched The Good Place, I think season one and two and enjoyed it very much. Is there a season 3? Started watching a show with Kevin Costner about some ranch in Montana (kind of like a new Dallas for those of us in our 50's) and like it too. Hope everything is positive for all today!

[NoraC]

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2018

We just finished season 1 of The Good Place. Season 2 isn't on Netflix yet. I think next week it starts.
I haven't heard about that other show , [MENTION=11419]allswell[/MENTION] - I'll have to check it out. :yay:
