Week End Blues

What a yucky week end. Just sat around all day Saturday and did not do anything except wash a few clothes. Called Hungry Howie's and ordered subs, chicken wings, and an antipasta, which was yummy.

Sunday got up, went to grocery store bright and early and got all that done.
Went to Target looking for king size pillow cases, prices started at $29.95 and went up. NO WAY am I paying that much for pillow cases, so I went to Linen "N" Things. I asked a clerk to point me in the direction of the cheapest cases and so I got some for $12.99 a pair.

By this time I was hungry so off I went to Red Lobster. What a delicious lunch, fried shrimp and a rock lobster tail and of course my salad and ice tea, tasted my mashed potatoes and turned down the biscuits, so not a bad lunch at all. Sorry no one wanted to go with me but I had a nice lunch by myself. I guess I am starting to learn that I can depend only on me and that is ok.

Had a couple of text messages from Bobby so I know he is ok.

Talked with Tiger and he was still waiting on my call from last week end. I had called three times but that did not count. He and his family are going on vacation on Tuesday for a few days,
sure hope they have good weather and a fun filled time.

My Mother has not been feeling good for the last few days so I hope the week ahead is better for her. Keep her in your prayers.

Signing off with God Speed to all.

Stress

Stress is a killer. It seems like my life just gets more screwed up as the days go on. My family deserves a break from all the drama. Today my husband had surgery and it really was good news from the surgery, then at 1516 he started bleeding like a stuck pig. Mom freaked out and me, well I was so calm it was scary. I took the saturated dressing off, blood was all over his neck,
running down his stomach and back and me I just put pressure on the incision site for a few minutes, (seemed like forever). I called the nurses I work with and they said I did the right thing. So far so good. Is it over? I sure hope so.

My Baby calls and says he is having surgery next week and of course I want to be with him.
I am scheduled to work all next week and Mom has chemo again next Wednesday.
What should I do? The Mommy part of me wants to hop a plane to NYC and the daughter part of me wants to go to NYC to be with my son. Am I a bad daughter? I try to be there for everyone but what can I do? My heart hurts, I want to be both places. HELP!!!!

The worse news of all is I think I have developed an allergy to my lipstick. Now you must understand how many tubes of lipstick I have. Lipstick is the only make up I wear and I feel UGLY without it. What to do, cry, rant, rave, maybe look for hypoallergenic lipstick.
Oh well, life goes on.

If anyone has advice for all my problems, PLEASE give me the answers.

Now to tell you how much I enjoyed Bobby being home. It was wonderful, dinner, shopping, movies, all the fun things we used to do. I sure do miss my fun times with him.
He seems to be really happy in NYC so I am happy for him. He is a big city person and is enjoying his life. Time moves on and we have to adapt to all the changes, so I will.

HEALTH, HOPE, HAPPINESS and FINANCIAL FREEDOM to all my friends and family.

Happy July

It has been a good month so far. My son and his family came over for a couple of days and we had a very nice visit. I just love sitting around and talking with family until 2 in the morning.
We had more smoke than in bars, but it was fun. Thank goodness we were all off the next day.
Now the bad news, the Tarp has died. Charlene will know what I mean. The wind took it away yesterday, next I will try some spray adhesive, which was suggested by my big city son.
My Bobby came home Monday. It was really great to see him. It is surprising how normal it seems to have him back, cans in the sink,etc. Sure did miss that. I hope he has a nice few days visiting Tiger, Charlene, Charles, and Simon. Don't get burned!
Mom had chemo again yesterday and it went really well, so far no nausea. She was talking and laughing with the other chemo patients yesterday. It was strange seeing her enjoying herself because she is lifeless at home, after chemo she is talkative and vibrant. Oh well!

Love and good health to all. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we battle the BIG Ca.
It seems to be making the rounds in the family.
