Beautiful for Spring!!

HAPPY EASTER, EVERYONE!!!     Hi Sasha!

Kim, you need an extra hug today....  They're not going to keep Joe in there to detox??  

Brenda, Meesa, such cute  Easter decorations you brought for us today!!!

Happy Easter, dear friends.

It took me a while to read 30 pages of text but I am pretty caught up now.  Unfortunately, now I am too tired to post!

Things are okay.  I am losing my job.  DWDD lost the contract and, sometime between May and August, I will be laid off along with all the other employees.  Hopefully I will have another job by then.  We will see.

I am also taking 3 CEU classes that won't be finished until late April.  I am TIRED!   I want a day with no chores or errands.

Jacob is sick today - He has had a fever, sore throat, and headache since yesterday.  I am sick today too - but not as bad. 

My work has been incredibly busy and my workload has essentially doubled.  My toe is still recovering but it is healing.  I really look forward to wearing regular shoes again one day!

I have been lax in getting on this site, it is true.  A lot because of facebook but also due to my ambivelance towards Clay.  He looks weird to me.  What is up with that jaw?  He doesn't look at all like the Clay I first loved.  He covers up his adorable freckles and his face looks very strange.  I am still mad that he LIED about stuff.  I should grow up and get over it, but haven't.  At least Adam is fairly honest about it all.  He is a great singer as well.  Bill thinks so too.

I love all of you very much but just haven't had the time to get on.  I hope that all of you will always be a part of my life.

Hi Everybody 

Happy Easter!!!

Today we're taking it easy.  I'm doing laundry, washing dishes, picking up around the house.  Nothing too exciting.  My mom is VERY unhappy with me.  She really wanted me to have her and my dad over today with a BIG meal and everything.  We've only been home since Tuesday night.  I just didn't feel like having company over.  I was hoping that she would have had us over.  Oh well. 

Right now, I'm watching HSM3.  Parts of this movie make me cry. 

I, too, like Carolyn, have been spending most of my time over on Facebook.  It is just so much fun catching up with friends from high school that I haven't spoken to in 20 years.

I feel the same way as Carolyn.  I will always be a fan of Clay's.  I will continue to buy his CD's and see him in concert.  But this is one mighty BIG drought.  Clay may have been the one to have brought us all together, but it is the friendships that have been created that will keep me coming to this site even if there is no tour or CD in our future.  I really enjoy just coming on here and talking to all of you, my friends.

[Pepe]

Gee I really do enjoy all this honesty.  I am to honest for my own good and often get in trouble.  I feel like  you do about Clay CAROLYN and BETH I feel like you do about why I come here, because of my genuine affection for all of you.  I often thought I shouldn't be posting here anymore but just haven't been able to cut the ties with the wonderful people I have met here.  People that have treated me better than my own family for the past five  years.  I have laughed with you and cried with and for you, you all mean the world to me.  I sure do hope you still post here CAROLYN you are so missed and no one says the beautiful prayers that you do when they are needed.  And BETH if you aren't here I will come looking for you with a paddle!!!  Why don't you call your mom and tell her your just tired and you will have them over soon for a nice dinner to thank them for watching the kids while you were on the cruise.  I wish I still had my mom, my life has not been the same since I lost her, I remember I never let a Easter pass without taking or sending her a Easter lily. I think that custom has passed also.  Here I go rambling again.  Off to give Pepe his bath.

Why don't you call your mom and tell her your just tired and you will have them over soon for a nice dinner to thank them for watching the kids while you were on the cruise.  I wish I still had my mom, my life has not been the same since I lost her, I remember I never let a Easter pass without taking or sending her a Easter lily. I think that custom has passed also.  Here I go rambling again.  Off to give Pepe his bath. 

Shirley, This is the first Easter without my Grandma.  I really feel that she was the one that held our family together.  When we were younger my mom and her family (4 of us), and my uncle and his family (5 of them) would always get together with my grandma and grandpa.  The family has become way too big for all of us to get together anymore (there are now 27 of us), so we don't even see my uncle, cousins and their children anymore.  It's really quite sad in a way.  I really miss getting together with everyone.

[Pepe]

BETH ,  for you sweetheart!!!  People like me that does not have much family envy people that do.  It is so sad that families don't get together and keep in each other's lives anymore.  Things have changed so much in the past few  years, everyone seems to be to busy with their own lives to let others in theirs.  I am sure a lot of my view point is because I am getting older too.

Well this is just un-friggin believeable.

Walked in to the hospital this morning and there he was...Joe the onery, cussin, rude guy that we all know. Here we all thought he had some sort of permanent brain damage...he's been this zombie vegetable kinda guy for a MONTH now (and just weird and psycho for 3 MONTHS)...and in 48 hours (and lotsa diuretics) he's BACK.
When we left last night...he still looked like a car accident victim with brain damage and we walk in this mornin and he won't shut up and bitchin about no breakfast and the nurse is a bitch and yada yada.

Un-friggin believeable

Woulda made a good "this is your brain...this is your brain on DRUGS" commercial.

 

[Beth]

Wow Kim!  

[ann]

Kim - Hmmmm. Sounds like the hospital has helped him find his true self.  I guess it's a good sign that he's his normal self

Carolyn - Well, thank goodness you posted.  Sorry that things are so hectic. I think it's like Shirley says that everyone is so busy, busy with life that it is hard to find time for anything. I know you will find a job because you are so good at what you do
Feel better & I hope you had a joyous Easter.

Beth - You are welcome. One of my fav songs from DD.
Don't worry too much about your Mom. I know she understands. Take Shirley's advice & have her over when your schedule returns to normal.

Sharon - How'd the chicken turn out? Glad that you & your Sis are looking out for Mom.

Barbara - How was that big birthday???

I hope that everyone got some family time today & hugged their loved ones. That's the important thing.

Shirley - I know that your kids do appreciate you, even if they are not there today. Maybe you can offer them some ham sandwiches to go if you are only 15 minutes away I do love the Honey-Baked Ham.

Meesa - Were the boys all sugared up from chocolate?

Well, time for some rest. See you in the morning.

Karen, no it's Cindy (stilldreaming) from the BLPT
Hello Carolyn, glad to see your post, and Ann is right, you'll find a job, you're too good at what you do

[wisconsinmaniac]

 

Hope everybody felt joy while celebrating Easter with family and friends!

Many of our family members got together for Easter and to celebrate my Mom's 95th birthday!    It was the first holiday that we had to "share" Derek.

Hugs to those who are going through rough times! 

Have a great week!

I just spoke to Debi's daughter Shawndra, wanted to call to get some idea of where Debi was at in this journey.  Shawn said they reduced some of her meds so she was feeling less tired and weak, which is great news! She has been experiencing some confusion and is having minor mobility problems, but still able to get around the house as long as someone is nearby keeping an eye on her.
Shawn and hubby and the girls were at Debi's for Easter today Debi's hubby John did all the prep and cooking Debi asked Shawn if Aisalynn could spend the night, to curl up in bed with "Anna" as Aisalynn calls Debi Shawn did leave her there, as she wants Debi to have all the time she can with her little princess
I feel better after talking to Shawn, and she did mention that many birthday cards have arrived for Debi, keep 'em coming ladies

[mrs. c.]

Barbara, what a joyous day for all of your family~~~Easter and a wonderful milestone for your mom

Well they convinced him to stay in one more night.

good.

Cept now that he's back to "himself", he keeps doing things  like sayin..."Hey wanna see me piss off the staff? They hate this...."..
And yanks off his heart monitor. Then ya hear the nurse out at the desk go..."Jeez. Not again"..and in she comes all mad and scolding him and he sits there chuckling.

Bet the nurses will all quit.
