I was wondering if any of it was all worth it and what was the point of going to work drugged to my eyeballs so I could perfom just to pay a mortgage so I could go to bed and wake up the next day and do it all again!!!! Then my DD had her baby on September 9th. Here is me after a looooong stressful day of waiting.....now I see the point of it all.

Barbe...congratulations on your new Grandchild...its the 1st isn't it ?? Is it a boy or a girl ?
You look so well...not at all like you have been pacing the floor for hours !!
Your mortgage will pale into insignificance now that you have all joined the ranks of the Grannies, and have all those baby goodies to buy.

Grandkids are great. I have 11 of them. I watched my daughters 2 boys this weekend so they could go out for their anniversary. They are 3 & 5. Boy did they wear me out. I love them to death, but they can really wear me out fast. We were playing chace and they could outlap me 2 - 1. The 5 year old is Autistic and can be a handful all on his own. Throw in the 3 year old on top of that, he likes for g-ma to give him rides and they both like to act like they are wrestlers.
Love those grandbabies. Enjoy, Leisa

CONGRATULATIONS BARBE!! That is without a doubt the best news I've heard all week. You are going to have your hands full. Full of bundles of love.
Well... at first, they are bundles of nerves that cries for no obvious reason, but you'll have your own way with them, and your DDs and DIL and the guys will be jealous and they won't know why. We will. It's because you know they won't break and they love to be snuggled and you remember how, when you learned how to calm yourself to calm a baby? That's the secret. ssssh... don't tell. well, tell, they don't understand yet.
I got myself way more involved with my grandbaby that I EVER expected. She and her mommy moved back home with me and DH, in April. almost 6 months now. Its wonderful and sad and funny and messy as hell but it's awesome. I can't wait for spring when we can plant flowers together and plant some veggies she can eat right there in the garden.
Sounds like such incredible incentive to 'get back in the game'. But I don't feel like it. I feel like everytime I get up I get shot down, or pushed down or left back and left out. It's not all really that way, some is. But that's how I feel.. I worked for my Dad for 9 years. Then I worked at a college for 18. From crazy to the zoo. Now, I'm broken. I just don't work the way I used to. I'm still here, taking up space. Guess it's silly to keep wondering what happened to my life. It's still happening. I feel like the one that lost. Maybe I am lost. Lost in pain. AND THERE'S NO WHERE TO GO TO MAKE IT STOP.
I had grande expectations, I think, with a new back osteo Doc today. I liked him and he agreed that indeed my back is a wreck of arthritis and herniated disks and it's a wonder I don't have massive arm or leg pain. Lucky me! Guess I'd be on 4 medications instead of 3. I got a shot in my hip for bursitis. Hurt like a knife and i've felt like crap all day since. Thing is, that's just one little point of pain. It was like putting a band-aid on a tree, it probably helped, but the rest of me hurts so bad that it hardly matters. I can't seem to get any doctor to understand that.
And boy-0-boy does it flare up with stress. And lack of money causes stress. LOTS of stress. Way more than anyone over 55 should have to have. And with the pain, there's not much love either. It still lives here. It must be here somewhere. ...loooove, come back!
Maybe it's the moon.. . . . I'm sitting on the porch watching the moon rise and it's big and full. I urge you to try to see it. This is the last full moon of summer, as fall begins this week.
So, I have tears tonight, tears for everyone that needs them. I'm afraid of lost turning into loss for real and I need to buck up and get back in the saddle.. maybe tomorrow, I'm sore and tired tonight.

It's one of those times when I have to take it one thing at a time because when I put it all together, it's just too much to deal with.

God takes care of my needs, But waaa..vegas, s.caro. well, maybe next year well all be here, God willing....see..by the way btw i;m learning.. neurontin has a side effect i never knew about till i googled it a drs request.. morbid thinking. and here i thought i was just changing more, or again. so, beware, girls...light (right) and love, 3jays

WHAT??? NObody has anything to, um,,, get off their chest?? Wanna hear my crap?
OK...
DD and grandDD have stirred up my household to where I can't think.
MONEY... nuf said.
The Car. The DH. The Son. My mother. My sister. My uncle passed away.A long term disability battle even tho SSD approved me. The med$. The back pain, can't see the doc for epidural cause couldn't afford COBRA anymore and new ins requires it's $1,000 deductible. .. oh and $250 ded. for meds. TMI. The dog. The porch's leaky roof.
My weight. My head, OY. no sex. need shoes. need glasses. need underwear. I have needs.
And why is everything a battle?? Can someone PLEASE tell me why I have to fight and claw and scratch for every little morsel? I'm so tired of it all.
Someone said if you don't have stress in your life you aren't living. I PROTEST. I think that if you are living stress free then you should SHARE THE WEALTH..

Dear Connie, yes I agree, have lot to get off my chest! does anybody have a few hours? lol, I am sorry to hear about your health ins., people with decent ins. really don't get it why WE are stressed out. My deductible is 2000.00, and now they want 100.00 deductible for meds. In one way though my place of employment paid all my premiums while I was out for my BC.Sooooo, now am back to work, not as many hrs. but enough to make me extremely tired, go to bed, then get up todo it all over again.And I am not happy with my personal life either right now, I feel like I am losing my fight with being an individual, i will explain later, because I have to put my scarf on to cover my bald head!! for work, I am so glad that you put up this thread, thank you for letting me vent.

((((((HUGS))))))) also backatcha...no words of comfort, just glad you could vent! We hear ya. ~juli

I got a letter from the Chief of Radiology at my local hospital yesterday. It said, in part, "DON'T PUT YOUR LIFE OR THE LIFE OF A LOVED ONE IN DANGER BECAUSE OF A SINGLE COST-CUTTING INITIATIVE ISSUED BY AN OBSCURE REGLUATORY GROUP.' Yes, it was in all caps. He states that his records indicate that I did not respond to a remider memo they sent on August 2, 2010 informing me that I was overdue for my mammogram. Their records..."indicate that it is time to schedule a routine screening mammogram." BULLPOOP! They need to check their records, because I have had not one, but TWO, mastectomies in the last two years AT THEIR HOSPITAL. I have no mammies to gram, TYVM. Grrr!!!

No mammies to gram....funny one, I laughed out loud on that one, but so true.0

Ahhh Jane, don't you just love how they pay attention???
Connie...I hope things are better today for you...it sure has been a rough month for sure!
My NC BC walk is a week away and I think I'm ready! The ankle has been getting better and better each week...and I'm looking forward to the test of the walk and meeting the goal I set when I had my surgery
It's a beautiful weekend and a 3 day one at that so I hope everyone is able to enjoy our fall!
XOXOXO ladies...

I hope this thread is quiet because there's nothing going on, and not because we've reached the point where we just can't write it all down!
My thoughts are with you ladies, I hope all is well for everyone!
XOXOXO

The worst thing I'm suffering right now is sore muscles from working out, trying to build my strength back up. I feel really lucky that that's the worst!

Hello!
I have trouble with dentist - because of her bad dental treatment I lost money, suffering since June, have to make a new bridge and add new healthy tooth because she made my good tooth which hold tne bridge moving...
I'm very upset... Now another Doc said that bridge will be to long and better to make an implants.
If I'm on Arimidex- is it good idea?
I can't imagine how much it could cost...

what is the matter with all the stoopid and crazy people! Wonder what it would be like if everyone did their jobs, took pride in job well done, took responsiblity if they make a mistake or screw up instead of putting blame on others. Why are the "innocent" taking the brunt of the fall out? ARGH.
What ever happened to please and thank you; milk and cookies for an afternoon snack and naptime?
Hugs to all the "innocents", hopes for a sunny, peaceful, pleasant day with no stoopid people
