Bayyore: Oh Im so glad to see you here. I almost fell outta my chair. The middle of the cirlce - well - its nice.
Nicki, don't fall outta your chair--I've visited a couple times before, felt I couldn't keep up with all your nimble fingers here and headed back out in the cold. I'm still not sure if I can keep up with your typing but all your sisterly warmth is too much for my weary brain and body to pass up on. (((Hugs))) to you all--it IS nice in the middle of the circle!
Tracey---(((HUGS))) So sorry it's a bad day. Maybe get away from the kids for a bit, take a bubble bath....0 -
Oh, tracy (((((hugs))))
I think all of us who raised kids can relate!!
Rain, rain all day today and I babysat my grandson
He is four and wears me out..soooo nice to turn him
over to my son ...

I hate having kid problems. Sending you a big hug.
You didn't ask for advice, but I will share something my dad told me....You don't have to act right away when you are faced with bad behavior from your kids. Tell them you will let them know what their punishment will be in a day or so. It gives you time to think before you act. It also gives you time to deal with your disappointment before you either over, or under react.
You didnt go wrong. You area good mom sometimes shit just happens. Hang in there.
Hugs,

Holly-
Glad you are here safe in the middle of the circle. Don't worry about keeping up with every post. If it is a busy day and I don't have time to catch up I skim things and then read Nicki's post in the morning...she usually recaps things pretty well.
Hugs

OH may what a day it's been. Too many sweet sisters back in the funk.
Tracey honey...It isn't you...they are teenagers and finding their way. Each kid has his or her own distinct personality. I have fours sisters and one brother and you know what...we are all different. My grandmother always said that you raise them the best you can, cross your fingers and pray. They will grow up to be whatever they want and you know what...most of them turn out ok in the end...they just need to grow up...you can't help them all the time. Not expressing myself very well...too tired tonight.
Holly...sending you warm hugs...come sit by the bonfire and we'll tell silly stories to make you smile.
Cheri...ok...where did you hide my guys!!!! Look here missy you have no idea how desperate I am LOL. Gonna get me a boyfriend named BOB! Actually I couldn't go in one of those stores without dying of embarrassment LOL.
Meeennnnaaaa...get you silly butt back here! As for babysitting you have to go with your heart. If it's too much to handle I'm sure your DD would understand. My sitter has a little one...he just turned a year old and back in September I took my wig off to show his mom my hair growth and freaked him right out!!! Oh the look on his face was priceless. He just now is starting to come to me for hugs and kisses.
LauraB...hope your reading and see that we are thinking and worrying about you. Sending you hugs.
Nicki...I'll share a glass of wine with you. I can't believe the pharmacy. Thats just wrong. I use CVS only...they have been so very good to me in the past year. I went in one time when my oncologist had phoned in an antibiotic because my counts were very very low and they yelled at me and told me to go through the drivethrough in the future and if I needed anything off the shelves they would get it for me. Gave me hand sanitizer and practically escorted me out of the store. Got the germy lecture. But they really cared. I still don't have hair on my legs...not complaining but isn't that a bit weird?
ok...missing a bunch of ladies since I didn't take notes...gotta get the afghan out of the dryer and ready to ship out tomorrow.
Love you all and I'll most likely return later (gotta find my guys).

Tracey, please don't beat yourself up. You're a great mom. The kids may be just acting out because of your fight with bc. Kids are like little sponges, they soak up everything around them. When they pick up on tension around them, they react to it, good, bad, or otherwise. I agree with Deb. Just step back, take a deep breath, and let them know you are thinking about proper punishment. Let 'em sweat a little.
I really hate kid problems. My youngest got arrested when he was in college. That was good for lawyer fees and a bad case of shingles. But through all that, he turned out pretty good, so have faith. ((Hugs))
Cheri, I was talking about the Absolute guy driving drunk. I know you would never do such a thing, heehee.0 -
Hi girls,

Happy Anniversary Liz...Enjoy your evening.
Tracey, so sorry....it is so hard to raise children...take a deep breath...you will work everything out.
Hello Holly, glad to see you here.
Nicki, I do have the day off for Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday). I am going to sit on my sofa and crochet ALL DAY. DD and her friends returned from New Orleans yesterday afternoon and they did have fun, caught lots of beads, hats, etc. DD left earlier today to attend some more parades.
Glad you are having wine...if you can't get your RX refill, drink up!!
Vickie, who is hiding men from you? Don't you still have that magic wand? Make them appear!!! Oh, Nicki may need someone turned into a toad if they don't get her medicine refills correct.
Cheri, thanks for the message.
Lisa, cute, cute baby.
Hi DebC,
Jan, I am watching your wine bottle and wine glasses (with wine)....that's it...I am logging off...gone to the den and pouring a glass (or two) of wine...

Wow! Thanks girls for all the anniversary wishes. We had a nice dinner DH has to go to work at 10:30. Ive been checking into flights for Pinkstock. So far, I cant find a direct flight and I am an inexperienced flier. Of course, I need to figure out where Im getting this money anyway! LOL
As for my bras, I donated them to the Domestic Violence center. I know the director and she was saying some women leave with absolutely nothing. Now I take lots of things there. I have one bra that I wear with thin white shirts; otherwise its nada for me.
Jeannie Ill be thinking of you during your test and praying for good results.
Jan Happy Anniversary tomorrow. Hope you have a great one.
Madison Ive been invited to a Fat Tuesday party. Think I just might go. How nice you get off work.
Susan hows the knee?
Vickie the afghan is gorgeous! I am really impressed. Did I miss something? Two kids to get ready now? I hate it when I miss a day. Glucosamine was mailed out. Give it a try.
Sher hope youre out of the basement. Im impressed by your crocheting skills. Im not sure Im cut out for this. We shall see. Compare scars? LOL Good idea.
shokk how great for your daughter.
Theresa adding Laura to my prayers. When Im told to lie still I move also. If they wouldnt tell me that, Id be okay I think. Are these routine tests?
NS well all be with you tomorrow during your tests. Sent you another PM. LOL Hugs hon.
Deb & Amy I dont get Victoria Secrets catalogs anymore. I emailed them when I was first diagnosed. Think I might have offended them. Oh well.
Lisa I love that square. I have one done. Not sure it will work but Im giving it my best shot.
Nicki it was almost 70 here today! Was nice out except for the 30mph wind gusts. But hey, Ill take it over cold anytime. I hate when the script thing happens. Hope they get them called in for you.
Holly glad you came to the center. This is a wonderful place filled with love, caring, concern and laughter.
Cheri hugs. Thats a tough decision for you.
Margaret thats great you volunteer. Im sure the kids love you.
Anne someone needs to smack Britney. Spoiled brat.
Tracey raising teenagers is the hardest job you will ever have. Hugs honey. Its not a reflection on you at all. Thanks for the flowers and wine. More than I got here. Now that is one good looking guy!
Shel so glad youve decided to come back. Weve missed you.
Okay, Ive missed so many. Always thinking and prayers of all the wonderful girls here.
Hugs
Liz0 -
Lisa, Jas is right- that square is KEWL!
Jan I have been looking everywhere for a sports bra that closes in the front. I may make my own. This is crazy! We are going to have a heat wave too! 40 degrees tomorrow!!!
Deb- wouldn't it be fun to do something like that! I was thinking we could do a big parachute of old bras to help soften the landing of all new bc gals- what do you think of that??
Vickie, we could use the bras to make new wagon covers!
Amy- I hope Mazer will share her teddy grahams with me after the tests- I will be hungry!!!! Can someone bring coffee too!! I love the idea of making it a fundraiser for BCO!
Tracey, sending you a big hug honey. I don't have kids so I am no help there- but I can get you the netting and mail it to you- I live in a fishing town and also know where Michaels hides its netting too!
((Holly!)) So GOOD to see your pretty face here. I do believe you have the CMF blues. I had double dose CMF for six months and I thought it would NEVER end. I was bloated, tired, nauseous and had the same 'roid problem too!!! Come to the center and hang out with me. You need some TLC. I had posted on your DH thread in the begining but try to stay away from it because I get too crazy and say too much!!! And I am single and shouldn't interject my feelings when I don't have a husband. I do the same thing to LauraB here too- and I am trying to sit on my hands because I am so OVER PROTECTIVE of my sweet sisters!!! Come sit by me by the fire, I will try to be good. You have my support though 1000%! I just have a big mouth when it comes to DHs not treating my sisters right!
Cheri, I am glad you are driving the carpet tomorrow...it is fun to watch you come in for a landing! I LOVE THAT KITTY PICTURE!!! I WANT TO GO TO THAT SPA!
Jeannie, I am glad you know what to expect... hang in there girl. I know this time is hell.
Oh Nicki! Your doc and your pharmacy make me so mad! These rules that they have in place are insane. We used to have a little village pharmacist here who was human and would give us what we needed and worried about the "official paperwork" later. He was the one who gave me the BiafineRE when Iw as so badly burned from rads. The rad onc didn't. But CVS, Genovese and Wallgreaens came and swallowed him up and he is out of business now. He used to deliver my rx's too. That came in handy the first time I had BC. CVS won't deliver. BTW- in NY state you can't get refills on xanax. You have to get a new Rx from a doc and bring it to the pharmacy. They won't let you do it any other way!
As far as Brittney Spears goes- I keep thinking of what my mother used to say when we were whining... She used to say "You want something to cry about? I'll give you something to cry about!" and that is how I feel about Brittney. Sorry- but I love too many sisters who are losing their hair because of this damn beast- NOT because they want attention or it is a publicity stunt or because Anna Nicole Smith was getting too much attention. (BTW- SOMEONE tell me why ANS is GETTING SO MUCH FRIGGIN ATTENTION? She was a stripper and a play boy bunny- NOT Mother Theresa or Lady Diana!)
LIZ! Happy Anniversary!!!!
Madison I am celebrating Mardi Gras with you in my heart-- remember I have that LA blood in me too! I just realized- this is the beginning of lent... I know what I am giving up! Boobs!
Shel, you is who you is!! You need to come here more often.. even though you scared the crap out of me last night with your post! LOL!!! ((Shel))) Please don't hide out- Jeannie is right!0 -
I hate Needles!! Had to have a blood draw today. They're checking my vitamin D levels, because of osteopenia. This is the third time this year. The first was for the same test, and they couldn't find a vein then. They gave it two tries that time, and I refused to let them do it again. Of course I bruised. The last time I was at my onc's for a 3 month check up. They got it on the second try. However, I've been lovingly nicknamed the 'Turnip' there. Today I tried again for the vitamin D test. Two pokes, and they both hurt like H. At least the 'turnip' gave blood today. Is it just me, or does everyone have their better veins in the arm they can't use. I'm such a baby about needles. Thanks for the chance to vent.

Shokk, how exciting about your daughter. Hopefully she will stay interested in music and get that scohlarship. My girlfriend's daughter is on a 4 year basketball scholarship.
Anne, I feel the same way about Britney as you do - just irked the hell out of me when I read that.
Shirley, you're a shortie like me.....if I were 5'7" I'd have no weight problem. When I redid my kitchen, I wanted one counter shorter than the standard height; no one in the family would let me do it.
NS, I'll be thinking of you with your scans tomorrow.
Jan, 36 years - congratulations.\
Holly, consider yourself moved to the center of the circle. Don't forget, Ginney has the nice spa wagon, sounds like you could use a visit there. Don't ever worry about trying to keep up. Just read as far back as you want and jump right in; you'll keep up.
Tracey, I've had days like that with my kids. Sending you some hugs.
Liz, enjoy your anniversary dinner. You too Jan.0 -
Lisa, You made me miss home. I love Balboa Park! Spent many a day there!
Wow 4 pages I just cant catch up tonight. But Im printing them all out and will take them with me to work tomorrow so I can catch up!0 -
G- giving up boobs for lent Bwahahahah! I gave them up last year but since I gave up both I think it should count for this year too! Hun, you make me laugh
Good Old Wal-mart has all cotton front hook bras. They are cheep too
Laura-
Sending you a hug. I use to be needle phobic...cancer cured me of that. I have one really good vein and if they will listen to me and use it we get blood on the first poke most of the time.
I just spent 3 hours in a useless meeting, so I need to go get something done.
Hugs to everyone
