    Went to my primary care doc this morning.  I don't like to tell the receptionists on the phone why I am coming in, so I said "I have a relentless headache".  When I walked in this morning the doctor said "so tell me about this headache".  I told her "her name is xxxxx, my DIL".  She laughed hard and gave me my anxiety medication.  Ten minutes for a week of being less anxious is worth it :)

    Hi Sandy....we should find a beach house....

    Diane..did you really go to your DR? or trying to be funny

    Eitherway it's fine.....Hey in that relaxed stage you might even give her a hug or 2 

    At the end it's all worth it...

    Remember how they think that we don't know nothing about raising a child and we were never pregnant

    And of course all natural childbirth well i better put a zipper on my lips

    Yes, I really went to my doctor this morning :)  I did do natural childbirth, she didn't :)  There'll be no hugs offered.  Talked with counselor about that - he says it is critical now that those movements come from her.  Also says that this is her big opportunity to make things right.

    Diane.....just don't take no shit...........I am 78 and a grandmother of 18 and have had it all happen......learned from experience......you can't keep taking this crap.........they are lucky to have you....they just don't know it............act like you don't care and you will see how fast the attitude changes............

    Keeping your mouth shut is not always the way to go......tried that, and the only one who suffered was me.......decided I would not take it anymore........trust me..........

    Aw Ducky - I stopped shutting my mouth with her back in October.  I told her how it was going to be for me going forward and I did it with my son and husband listening - there can be no questions about my feelings and requirements :)

    Sheila - if you hear whispering with a constantly flushing toilet,  it will be me!

    Rain......good for you...........you go girl.......I had it with my first grandaughters...twins.......my DIL was a real bitch........she was up her mother's ass with the kids, and I had to almost beg to see them.......I worked close to where she lived.....would call from work and say "I"m gonna stop to see the babies"...........when I would get there she would have them down for a nap, and they would be in the cribs wide awake........decided to have them every Sunday for dinner, so this way I could spend the day with the babies.

    Not to be......she would come while I was making dinner......not before.......we would eat while the twins were napping..........they would wake up, while I was doing the dishes, and when I was ready to sit and relax with them.........she would say...."Ok Vince, lets go they have to be in bed by 7.."........

    Once my 2 daughters had their first babies everything changed.........I was with them constantly, and the pain was over of wanting to see the twins............

    My son was as much to blame.....nothing stopping him from bringing them to my house......he didn't.......then I got accused of favoring my daughters kids.........there was no winning.........told my son "you made your bed, now you sleep in it'"..........

    Today my DIL for years now, has had no relationship with her mother............guess who is supermom now..........you guessed it, and she loves me to death.........what goes around comes around........and I care a lot for her too............but she knows how I feel about what she did to me for so many years..........

    Back then ....she just did not like me.....my son said "you were always a threat to her"......how I said.........his answer........"because you were such a great Mother, and hers was not, and she resented the closeness we had".................my answer.....yes, Vince, but you allowed her to get away with it.............so shit happens.........

    Just enjoy the Munchkins, that is all you can do..............now those twins who were the first, and are the oldest of the 18 have given me 3 great-grandchildren, and another on the way on my birthday......lol

    Diane...What i meant was try not to give any advise or opinions about the children

    Beside that you can slap her if you wish

    Run the water don't flush the toilet when you're talking  

    Olympics are over.....Russian's pair figure skating couple were excellent   ♥ 

    Hey Ducky...Are you exited about Thursday..Are you getting 5-10 inches of snow ?

    Stopping by to say hi.

    Why is it I have comments to make while I'm reading everybody's posts but when it comes time to write, I can't think of anything to say???

    And why is it when I drive to town, everybody & their brother pulls out in front of me?? I can be doing 55-60 mph & some dang idiot will pull right out in front of me & I have to put the brakes on or ram them in the ass?? Do I have a sign on the front of my car that I can't see that reads:

       "That's okay. Just pull out, I don't care." ???

    Talk about how road rage starts........ GRRRR!

    I think I failed to mention, Deb, it's good to see you again. (other than on FB)

    Diane, you stand your ground, ya hear!

    Sheila, how'd you MH appt go?

    Sandy, miss ya!

    Joan, for some reason, I always want to call you Joanie. Another why question I ask myself!

    ducky, hey girlfriend!!

    Going to help a good friend of mine move this Saturday. She has to be out of her home by March 1. Bastard of a DH ran around on her, watched porn from the day they got married that she just now found out about, had a girlfriend on the side, used to hide extra clothes in the wheel-wells of his car, said he was working OT & was not, his family lied for him. All kinds of crap, too numerous to mention. And, now she has to leave her beautiful home because they have to sell the house, that she paid the down payment on herself!! She is such a great gal, so very nice. I feel so sad for her. But, the divorce is final & she's almost free of him. And she's strong & she'll survive. Why do men walk all over women??

    Well, now that I've thrown all these Q's out there for you gals to ponder over, I'm going to bed. LOL

    (((TOL)))

    Ô¿Ô

    Hey Sheila........yes I guess I am as ready as I will ever be.........this storm has not arrived yet, and they are talking about another one on Friday........remember this one is coming tonight into tomorrow night..........as long as we don't lose power.....but with 40 mph winds and wet snow, who knows......it is just awful living alone, and not seeing anyone for days......oh well shit happens......right....You stay warm, are you getting any of this storm?

    Val.....so great to see you posting again.......you gals rock, and I love being able to talk to you..........without my IPad I would have gone bananas........you can only read so many books..........

    I am so sorry for what happened to your friend..........sad when this happens, but thank heavens she is finally rid of him..........she has you to help her, and that is a blessing.......your a true friend Val, and don't you forget that.........you always have someone's back......hugs to you.........

    Just hope my shore home survives this..........the winds down there are going to be 40-60 mph.....and my house is close to the bay...........the winds whip around down there on a good day, let alone during a storm...........just something else to worry about.........plus this below freezing weather plays havoc on the inground pool......just hope that is ok.......

    All you ladies have a great day today......in the cold stay warm, and in the warmth....good for you......LOL...........big hugs.

    Diane, so glad you saw the doctor.  I hate when patients are treated in the waiting room with no discretion.  I was waiting at a busy practice once when an older guy came in to talk to the doc because his ED drug wasn't working.  The receptionist had to relay to the doc then the doc would tell her what to tell the guy...and we could all hear.  I felt so badly for him.  I would never have stood for that.  I demanded privacy in CVS when I got my flu shot. 

    It could be quite the dance at your house.  Maybe a "push-pull" about it being her time but at the same time reclaiming control.  In any event, you are assured some time alone with the kids. 

    ducky, nice that you are getting along with DIL...as said before, it's when you stop caring that others come around.  you are right, ducky, this is an amazing place to share our lives with our unpleasant common bond.  I am so glad you are YOU ... and that you always make us smile.

    val, for someone who doesn't know what to say, you surely beath the drum today.  I feel that anger and pain for your friend.  It just sux  The best part is she is free in a sense.  She is lucky to have you for a friend. 

    By the way, those cheesesteaks are obscene!

    Sandy, I hope the new drug doesn't kick up too much.  The tremors?  Can you take a sedative to sleep or relax?  Are you prepared for the storm?  We could be in for a few days.  Be well, and I hope you can sleep. 

    Be careful in the storms, east and PNWest.

    (((Ducky))) how's the snow?  I hear Phila started early and getting slammed....are you out of the rain belt?  We had over an inch an hour this AM.  Temps are up to 35 so now it's mix/rain. 
    Snow day for me-lounging but have the entire house to clean.

    K, please check in - need to know you are OK and to get your snow accumulation

    Sheila, you didn't go out in this, did you??

    Look at the big snowflakes (6 seconds)

    HI Snow Bunnies.............LOL.......that is all I can do right now........I have around 10+ inches on my patio table..............and the wrap around snow coming tonight is yet to be know.......

    I'm good.......just sitting and loooking at myself.........none of my grands had school, all my kids places of employment closed.....

    One daughter was suppose to leave for Missouri tomorrow.....My grandson is relocating (and she is devastated already), and now their flights have been cancelled..........can't get out till Saturday, and her fare has doubled..............feel so bad for her........she is going to set him up in his new Condo, and then will be coming home..............she is so close to this boy.....she has 1 girl, and 1 boy......thank God her daughter has made roots here.......just 20 mnutes from us.............but she was very close to her son......he still lived home.......so sad......but it is a great advancement for him....2 year committment, but her fear is he will love it.......possibly meet someone, and not come back........I hope not.....

    Well just sitting here doing my IPad thing......lots to do in the "hovel", but don't  feel like it.....

    All my snow bunnies stay safe, and warm.......and thanks for caring.......hugs.......so far they are saying my town has 13 inches, and counting............it varies greatly, but no one has escaped less the 8 in the Philly suburbs, and the wind is bad.........
