how about drinking?

Oh my, 2 Big Macs! I have done that in the past, and I crave on a very few occasions. But 2 would just make me sick. I almost feel sick about the time I finish one!

Julie again, I'm sorry for your loss. But glad you were able to "attend" via modern technology.

Nancy, per your nausea and loss of appetite, I think the doc is just guessing. Neither of them sound right to me, just my opinion. Loving all of your Christmas pictures. I miss that. Jackson and Samara must be so happy with their new rides!

Ooooooh, look at that little blessing! He is so tiny and sooooo cute, and you my dear, look gawgeous! I too was going to say what NM said about the tears, as she has told us that before. Sorry for the break down tho. Hoping you get that baby boy home soon, where he belongs!

Cami, I'm glad Joey is feeling better. I'm sure you will have a wonderful Christmas. You have such a big loving family. Glad to hear that Joey still believes, might be the last year. And he IS poyfect! I sure hope you all don't get sick....darn. Why do people take their sick selves out even?

Love the Arlington cemetary with the wreaths!

LDB, I hope you are having a grand time with your family. Mary, you too. Nora will have so much fun and love.

Well, we have been working fools here in Vegas, putting in about 11 hours each day. We were gonna stay another day, but just want to go home. So, that is what we'll do. I should hear this week about my scans, dreading that call. And I get to start my chemo pills. Merry Christmas to me!

Good Afternoon Ladies and Merry Christmas to all my breasties!. Had my DS and wife and Nora. DSS (step-son) and his girlfriend and MIL last night for dinner and presents. Everything was going fine, I had just got salad done and was working on lobster tails. lasagna cooked, all ready to go when I hear this blood curdling scream from our little sweetie. Well, I have this Xmas wax warmer thing with a candle underneath. (not a scentsie, unfortunately). Well it was in the middle of the coffee table, Nora couldn't reach it but my MIL thought she was gonna grab it and went to move it and the hot wax ended up spilling all over Nora's hand! Second degree burns... she screamed for an hour! Of course any advice I gave was dismissed, I know nothing about burns, meanwhile DSS girlfriend has read all about them on the internet. Finally I called Molly and she said if they brought her to the ER they would use Silvadene and wrap it. DIng..ding...ding..why didn't I think of that, I have Silvadene. So I bring it to my DIL and she believes me cause Molly said so but by that time Nora was climbing up the stairs and happy. The whole horrible episode took about an hour. Then we finally sat down to eat. My DS had to work at 10 pm then all night, which he was supposed to have off. He's getting so hard for me to talk to, I have to walk on eggshells. Everything I say to him he seems to think is me challenging him or something. If I say, Can Nora have pasta? He'll start in about how it's their decision on what they choose to feed her. I said I wasn't saying you should give her pasta, just asking a question! Geesh.... think I'm gonna have to talk to him about it cause right now I don't even like being around him, he's so defensive. He has been working about 70 hours/week and I think he's just tired and crabby so I'm trying to cut him some slack. We did have a nice evening from then on, opened gifts and I slept in this morning while Rick took his mom to church. DIL said Nora slept all the way home and then slept till 7:45 this morning. Oh and we went for counseling again on Tuesday and it went well. Really getting us talking a lot. Then we went out and ate and came home and got drunk and then?.... more coitis! Thanks for reminding me of that word Cami! So 3 times in one week after none for 3 yrs...Hot damn, the libido really has woken up!

Lori, too mech work, glad you decided to go home. I am praying everyday for good news about your scans. And I hope the new chemo is easy on you. Will you see anymore from your brother, I'll bet it was the alcamahal talking. Sounds like he loves you and wouldn't normally say such a ting. ((Lori))

Cami, have fun with Joey and family, hope your D goes away and you don't get the cold.

Nancy, any engagements?? Have fun with your family.

NM, love the snow pics, no white Christmas here, it's about 50 degrees. Enjoy time off with your Sadie and family.

Dara, beautiful pic of you and David, sounds like things are heading in the right direction. I balled my eyes out last night, sometimes it's just necessary. I still miss my mom so much when times get rough, and for you I tink eve harder cause she's still here but she's not. I'm cutting back on the drinking on Jan 2.... Maybe we can "sponser" each other. Hugs and prayer ((Dara))

Julie, so sorry about your aunt. Hope you have a happy day today.

Sue, thinking of you, hope your day is great!

PRN, Lala, and everyone else...Love and Xmas blessings to all!

Hello everyone! Hope Santa was good to you all! I had a great Christmas! I ended up hitting my head really hard on the staircase wall getting the stockings down Christmas Eve and then Christmas Day had quite a few seizures. So I have to call my Neurologist tomorrow.

No engagements but both girls did get promise rings a step in the right direction right?

I see my RO Monday so we will see what he says about my nausea and weight loss. PCP seems to think its either med related, rad SE or due to my traumatic brain injury.

Dara David is adorable! I love the grasshopper story. That's a Christmas tradition in my family. I too used to get small drinks from my grandma. At first they would make alcohol free ones and just put green food coloring with some mint ice cream. Then as we got older we got just enough of the real stuff. Then in high school we could try Brandy Alexander's but just one.

Mary I'm glad things are going well at home. I'm glad you had the Silvadine cream at home for poor Nora's little hand.

Ok here's some Christmas pictures

cammi-hope your all feeling better today, and your brother gets discharged today. joey is online-yeah.

lori-have fun at walmart,i was there this morning and they were putting out the valentine cards, glad you and your brother talked

lara-starting to pack ready for the 6th, chocolate-check, alcamahol-check. my hot flashes had been fading away before surgery but came back with a vengence about 2 weeks after, all i can say is cotton rich pj's, my ac has been on so much even if its 70f outside.

nm-love the drink, did miss sadie enjoy her christmas?

nancy-you need a helmet! thought the pic of dd and future dil and samara on fb was lovely, thought they looked a perfect little family. so 2 promise rings , its a start

mary-hope miss nora is ok today.

have a good day ladies, bbl

oh dara, words fail me, is it worth letting the attorney know so they are not blindsided by anything the sd does because i'm sure he has an ulterior motive.will this night stay screw up the custody hearing?

Nancy, I hope you do go to the ER just to make sure all is well. Head trauma is nothing to mess with. I am so sorry you have gone through too much already. Sending prayers to you.

Julie, I am not doing a thing. I will not put out another penny either. We have only paid primary lawyer half of the fee. Jennika will be on her own at the assault trial. As for the FPS attorney, I have paid out 2500 and will not be doing any follow up. I am just that pissed off and upset. I had received a call from her therapist on Tuesday, she had not showed up for her group therapy despite taking my car out. Futher, she bought Mexican food and it spilled on the carpet of my new car, she did NOTHING but flip up the mat and leave it there for me to find. I flipped out on her. She is severely influenced by SD. I had a strong suspicion that she was talking to him again. Last weekend, I caught her in a lie. She said she was going to her friends house. I needed to get her car keys late on Sunday for the scapper who was hauling away her impala. I called her friend on her cell and she was never with her. She lied. I am done stressing myself out over the baby and spending money on her mistakes. She had such a bright future. I am thinking baby Logan could possibly be better off getting adopted. He needs a responsible mommy, Jennika is not stepping up as she should. I am so sick over this, I could vomit.

Julie, the judge asked them to be civil to one another. She did say that she was not interested in reconciling their relationship. She told me that she thinks that being with SD will help her get David back, wtf, she is not thinking right. I did something bad. I took her meds and dropped them on her porch. I turned a chair up against the door just to say I was there. She texted me and called repeatedly. I finally answered the phone and we got into yet another disagreement. At this point, I am worried about her well being.

Great idea, Julie. I will let her counselor know, my guess is that she did not tell her...that is IF she went to therapy today. Thanks for the hugs, I felt them. Keep the prayers coming.

by de way (again) I am making my turd dwink now ~hiccup

stay tuned!

My Neurologist called and told me to get to the ER ASAP.So I went to the ER. Probably have slight concussion,no bleed or anything major. Just increase in frequency of seizures. They were going to keep me hut then changed their minds. Probably cuz my othrer blood work is very good

This post is from yesterday and I never finished so I'm sending it on thru and wil catch up and start a new one.... see ya again in a few minutes.

Hiya girls, I've got the lazies today...all I wanna do is sleep. I'm trying to talk myself into taking the dogs for a walk, the sun is shining, it'll wake me up. DH is golfing. Got The Primal Blueprint book for Xmas. It's the paleo diet, gonna start on Jan 2, supposed to really help with inflammation. I want to give it at least 6 wks and see how I feel. DH is gonna do it with me so that'll help. tomorrow is my b-day, 57 such a stupid time for a bday. Told my DH I wanna go to a place with a fireplace and some nosh type food and drink. I sure hope next year is better, this was the worse one of my life. Made the year of my divorce seem like a walk in the park. I'm ready to bring on 2015!!!!

Nancy, rings are beautiful so are the pictures. Love the pick of Jackson sleeping. Sorry about the nausea and the dizziness, hope they figure out the cause soon.

Julie, I know all about those hot flashes,I guess most of us do. Nora hand is blistered but she does not seemed bothered by it.

NM, good drink, you are prolly working today, hope it's not too tough.

Lori, so glad you're home. Glad you talked to your brother and everything is ok, I'm sure he didn't mean it the way it came out. My DS still hasn't had a day off, I think not until Sunday. He found a new job and gave his 2 weeks notice, hopefully this on will allow him time for wife and baby. He hardly gets to see them at all now. So glad you are home, no place like it ifin you ask me.

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Saturday!Was actually able to wake up with the sun this ayem!Of course, that was around 6:30, which is an hour too late for a work day, but perfect for a weekend!

Cammy--sounds like your Christmas was less than fun and exciting.Sorry bout that, hope you and yours are feeling better.Praying for your brother.No snow here, either, but at least not enough to mention. Some years there's more than we can deal with, I'll take this any year!

ORLA--New laptop?Now you have no excuse for not posting regularly!Glad you've been busy, busy is good.Prepping the UFO for the 6th, any special requests?

Goldie--unusually warm here, but good for the oil prices since not so much demand, which is a VERY good thing!My next major household project will be a heat pump.Seems like the best way to go for me.Cheaper than a pellet stove, may be able to get some incentive money or at least a tax break from the state, can cut oil use by more than 50% AND provides cooling in the summer!

Julie--Sadie did enjoy Christmas, she enjoys any time where she is the center of attention!But it's fun playing with her any time.

Dara--Sadie got spoiled, and got some special treats, and then more belly rubs than even she could count!Oh, heavens, the charisma if the abusive male strikes again.What is it with abusive men that they can manipulate otherwise normal women into doing totally stupid things?Words do, indeed, fail.{{{hugs}}}

Collett--post-concussion syndrome is nothing to mess with!If your PCP suggest and ER eval, that might be a good thing to do.

Dara--the pup is adorable!

Collett--so glad there is no bleed, and no serious damage.Glad you got it checked out.

Genny--Happy Birthday!And my 20-15 be a much better year for all of us!
