Today was a good day, finally caught up on some of my sleep. I don't know which is worse, the ailments or the remedies. If I take my prescribed meds like I am supposed to, I don't sleep. If I skip a dose, pfffft I sleep all day!
style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ada5d1"I am still concerned about my blood sugar level. Just can't seem to get it below 250. grrrrr Doc has had me try several things, but nothing can bring it down. If I cut anything else out of my diet I will be sucking UNflavored toothpicks! Talk about your pine float for supper!
style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ada5d1"My 5 year old daughter, Tama, came home from school today, drank her classic galss of milk and then layed on the couch and promptly fell asleep. Poor thing just isn't used to going somewhere and doing structured things alllllllll day long, school is kicking her little butt.
style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ada5d1"Well, time to fix hubby's supper.....chili. I'd have heartburn for a month if I ate that stuff.

Boy this has been a long week. It started out almost sane on Monday but went downhill from there.
Hubby isn't happy because it seems like his truck (the Freightliner) has spent most of this week in the shop. Grrrrrrrrrr Well so much for THIS paycheck.
Just when you think things are going to get back on your feet, fate has a way of just yanking the rug right out from under you. I'd like to yank a few things from Fate!

I miss my Dad. Today would have been his birthday and I miss him.
"Oh Daddy, how I miss you.
Since you've been gone
My life's melody is not as sweet
It's cold and bitter and has no beat.
Daddy I need your wisdom
Looming from behind those blue eyes
Giving me support and advice
That come from your life.
How I miss just being near you
Watching the sparks fly as you work.
I felt so whole in the presence of
The fireworks you set just for me.
In our unspoken words
We'd share the deepest parts of
Who we are and what we'd become
No one knew but us what was going on.
You were a thinker, a watcher
Not a joiner or a show off
But one who learned from
Observation all you needed to know.
The plantation is so lonely
Without you here -
I miss all the things we did
And all we will never know.
I'm still your little girl
And I'm crying for my Daddy
Inconsolable, I want my
Daddy back for one more hug.
No one loves me bushels and barrels
And no one understands
That the day you died
Gertrude lost her feathers.
I know part of you is in me
But I want the part I couldn't
Absorb.....you and I had a
connection that will never be replaced.
I will always love you Daddy...."

Just when you think your life is leveling out *WHAM* ya get hit, or sometimes BIT, by reality!
I wanna know who sicked the ill health fairy on me. I always heard that after 40 its patch, patch, patch, but I thought that meant I'd have to learn quilting, LOL Guess not. Wonder what my ration of duct tape to skin is now? It's official......I wanna a DO OVER. I wanna go back to being like 18 and redo life so that I wind up in better shape now.
I joke a lot because no one really wants to hear ya whine about ya health problems. But believe me, if anyone needs to talk about a health issue....I got plenty. I need to start writing them down in alphabetical order so I dont forget one. LOL
Tama has been sick with a sinus infection and poor thing just wants me to hold her. Bless her heart I can't hold her anymore, so I sit on the couch and she lays with her head in my lap and we watch her movies. If I see Shrek one more time I will turn into an ogre! Lets not forget Land Before Time all 10,000 movies of those! I will be an Ogre-a-saurus. LOL
Hubby and I have been informed that Tama wants to be a spider for Halloween. Like I know how to sew well enough to make a spider! We have turned all of East Texas upside down looking for a spider costume and the only one we found is $55. Like I am going to pay $55 for a costume she will wear ONCE! NOT!!!!!!!! I have tried talking her into something else and she has her hear set on a spider. Wonder if Wal-Mart has a Princess Fiona that would entice her to change her mind??? lol I'm so bad.
Anyways.....back to real life for a while.

i knew i liked you but didn't know we had so much in common! maybe we were sisters in a past life ! i know your feelings all to well but being in that 40+ catagory i know i don't want to live to be old!and health problems for me started at birth! no i'm not exageating that either. when i go to a doctor and fill out the family history part i just put if it has a name or they are researching a no named thing then my family has it down pat! when my back was broken i was walking very slowly and determined but walking never the less. the doctors at that time wouldn't do an x-ray because i was walking just not upright and it really took 20 minutes to go 3 little steps! you learn to cope with what your dealt and continue to fight just after 40 it seems like a losing fight . you need a support group to help get you through each day like i have! it's my morning coffee group. well it's me and a good friend now but we use to be 4 of us! one moved away and the other can't get up and around much right now. he has parkinsins!

Viv, maybe we were sisters....
I am frustrated because my family doctor has determined that I am permanently disabled, yet Social Security Administration seems to disagree. GRRRRRRR
Here is my list of diseases/ailments so far....LOL
Anxiety
Arthritis (back, neck, knees and hips)
Asthma (severe)
Barr Epstein Virus
Bi-Polar
Depression (Manic)
Diabetes Type II (insulin dependent)
Hearing Loss
Hypertension
Hyper Sensitivity to Heat
Pinched Nerves (3 in my back)
Sleep Apnea ( yeah like I sleep)
Other than that I am perfect!  I am glad you have a coffee group to start your day with. I am proud of you that you made your mind up to walk after your back being broken! Congratulations! Most of the time your mind IS your best medicine. That is why I write poetry and ramble on in this blog. I feel like it is therapy for me. If no one else cares, ok, but it somehow helps me to put it down in some form of writing.
Big huggs Viv!

| fyi bi-polar and manic are the same thing! and hyper sensitivity to heat could be age related! it's called pre-menopause! artritis is a big pain i have it in my hands back shoulders toes knees. osteo in the back & shoulders . reum in in everything else anxiety to the max. don't have the asthma i have cronic bronchitis. and epstien barr i don't have i have fibromyalgia and lupus runs in the family too. i have a problem with my heart valve and rbc delivery but exactly what i don't know because we don't have insurance we can use. as for ss. i tried once before too and i was eligable if i divorced or legally seperated from ron ( hubby) . at the time it wasn't worth it. i also have hip dysplasia and one replacement 10 years ago ! the replaced hip is suppose to last 10/ 15 years but my orthopedic doctor hopes i'll get 20 + or i'll be in trouble in about 30 more year! they can only replace it 3 more times in my life. the pinched nerves in my back only bother me when my lower back shifts. right now i have hypo diabetes . insulin would lower it even more but it's a precirser to type to which is hyper diabetes. i also suffer from migraines. the full monty of syptoms for that. i have been a migraines sufferer since i was 17 years old and can't have the contrast cat or mri to find the reason behind the migraines. most of the time it is sensitivity to sound lights and severe tummy troubles but a few times i've passed out from them. i have feet troubles too! i have been pre menopausal since i was 31 years old. and through my research on it i should be all but done with it. for my feet i've had bumions and bone spurs removed once from both feet. i still have hammer toes . when i was 12 i was told i'd be permenantly in a wheel chair by 30 and i'm 42 now and still walking barely on most days but i'm still going. as for sleep issues i can't sleep more then 3 hours without pain meds and only 6 max with. so i cat nap all day long. so i know what it's like not to sleep much either. i have troubles staying awake and have had this problem since i was 15. i have no memory of early childhood due to drugs my mother put in my bottles even when i was a baby even. so i have to watch which pain meds i take now as the long term after effects of the drugs i had when i was young seems to effect me still. if the meds are to strong i sleep for days on end . once ron took me to the er because of it. needledd to say i can't take strong meds for long only when nothing else easies the pain. it was 4 years ago i found my support group and on days i just don't have the fight they push me that extra to get me going! i've also had bells palsy .half of the facial muscles quit working. it looks like a stroke but it only effects the face not the entire side of the whole body!

WOW! We had a great Thanksgiving. Seeing family we hadn't seen in like 3 years. Now we are wanting to move to live up next to them. We don't want to live IN Ft. Worth or Dallas, but we want to live up there kinda close. My in-laws live right outside of Ft. Worth and that area is so nice we want to live in that area so bad.
Came home late in the night Saturday night, went to sleep and woke up to a meat-locker like house. OUR HEAT ISN'T WORKING! It is like 50 degrees in this house! YIKES! I can understand the landlord putting off calling the ac/heat man until tomorrow because to come out on the weekend...a holiday weekend to be exact....would cost a fortune! So we are bundling up and trying to stay warm. I will NOT own a space heater. Too many people die from using those things. I would rather be cold. I like the cold, but THIS is a little TOO cold. lol
Hubby was expecting to be paid today, but we were told that it will be Tuesday before he is paid. His boss is one of these that cries all the time that he is soooooooooooooooo broke yet his house payment is $1,000 per month, he buys new cars all the time, and he told hubby that he can't pay him, but he is taking his family to the movies....gheeze...must be nice.

think it's cold in texas try michigan! it's 34 wind chill is 26 with sleet/ snow mix right now! our furnace is 18 years ols now! i'd rather have the space heater then fireplace. at least then you don't get the smell of burning wood! i love it when it's 50/60 outside! very comfortable! as for jody's boss tell i'd advice jody to look for another job! ron had a boss like that and they bounced checks right an left including paychecks! they also had their homes built not bought but actually custom made! last we heard they were force to close up shop permently! they owed the supply companies to much money! sometimes a wake up call is all it takes others they have to lose everything! either way it's a no win situation .
i have lots of family down in texas but only know a small handful! unfortunately my great grandmother lived down there too when she died! could get down for the funeral! from wheat i've been told they are all over the se section of the state! plus hubby's aunt lives in frankston .i've been to texas houston once and found it very hot in the middle of winter! february to be exact! i prefer to enjoy the seasons all of them ! down there it isn't winter like we have up here! i can actually live without summer though! hate heat !

Jeez, has it really been a month since I wrote here last? What have I been doing with my time? hehehehe
Okay....Real Life in a nutshell............
Had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my hubby's family who is absolutely wonderful!
Had some medical problems and have fired my doctor for not doing his job and causing me some unnecessary pain and side effects of his incompetence. gr, no wonder they call what they do a PRACTICE! LOP
Am looking forward to Christmas with the in-laws. I am so much more comfortable with his family than with my own.
Now for the mushy stuff........
I feel so blessed to be a part of this forum because everyone here is so friendly and helpful. Acceptance isn't based on how much money you have or what you wear (usually I am in my PJ's, so that is a blessing in itself...LOL) everyone just likes you because we all share a love for this (I think it has gone beyond a hobby) craft. There are such talented people here and I am so grateful to be a part of them.
I find myself wanting to be here all the time, experiencing everything, trying new things, helping out where I can. Then I am reminded I have a daughter who actually eats and a husband that wants to spend time with me when he is home. Dang interruptions! LOL
