Bonfire of the Goddesses

Now I am throwing my hubby's boss on the fire. We have an event to go to next week and hubby asked his boss if was okay for him to leave a bit early on the day of the event. His boss denied his request and informed him they have to move some equipment around that day. Nothing is ever told to the department in advance about this kind of stuff until either someone asks for the day off of the day they plan it for or the day before! This has been like this since hubby started working there and it never changes. They want him to be loyal to his job but they weren't so loyal to him when I was going through the cancer treatments!!!!

Twirp - Yes, into the fire with the source of those stupid comments!
ducky - Thanks for your wise words, as always.
Nothing additional for the fire today, just a little accelerant to fan the flames.
-
Let it burn!!!!!!!

so.... being sick in the way that we are ....i have learned that life is so precious, why would you spend even a minute of it on something that will never bring any joy, thats so sad...we all have every right to surround ourselves with what inspires us and allows us to love......the fire can have the rest!!!....keep shining bright!!(in all those flames)

Mommy ..re your mum , we can only do what we can do , and only so many hours in a day ..and it sounds like you already have things that need doing . I think lots of people have " boxes that need to be ticked " to either make themselves feel happy , or so they can tell their friends ( of worse still , face book ) that " " yep , I'm definitely a good mum ..see here's a photo . They all visited me on the day "
We are spending Mother's Day with my two daughters and Hubby's parents ..My son was so apologetic because they have to head in the opposite direction this year to a gathering of his wife's clan ..I said to him not to be silly ..Mother's Day is just a day , and they are a part of two families now ..and you can't be everywhere..
I can understand you wanting to be with your fur babies as well ..and your Hubby's stinky boss is definitely going into the fire !
Ducky ..BaHaHa ..you always make me laugh ..but such wise words as well ..yes ..all those kids of yours didn't ask to be born ..it was YOUR idea .😃 I think lots of Mums ( including me sometimes 😱 ) forget that !
Hugs to everyone.

Thanks Lucy!! My mom knows that even though I may not see her on special days like Mother's Day, I do call her. mom even tried to play that "I'm such a good Mom at my wedding!" My sister confided in me that she wanted to confront our Mom about it that day, but she said she didn't want to ruin my day.
As for hubby's boss, toast that sucker and forget about the fire extinguishers!!!!!

Just got a call from 1 of my 6 children..........saying if I had no plans for this weekend that he was asking me to go to dinner with him on Saturday, and an invite to stay over his house that night, or he would take me home if I wanted to do that......well considering there are 5 other children I will probably opt ;to go back home.......mainly because if they are coming, I would like to be here at least to see them..........always have to remember I am Mom to all 6 , not just 1 of them............and even if they don't show up on Sunday, that is ok too...........I want to make sure I am here if they do...........makes sense, right........LOL
-
Ducky ..Makes perfect sense to me !!
-
thanks girls!! I love this thread because I can visualize all this BS being thrown on and burning!! Glad I found you all!!
-
Twirp ..We're very glad you found us too !!!

Can I throw in #%£$¥# prothesis bras? And #€£¥%# protheses? Uni here....
Even before bc, I had an awful time finding comfortable bras with long enough straps for my high shoulders. Add LE on my operated side, so straps now have to be wider. The stupid breast prothesis weighs too much so my shoulder hurts if I wear it for more than a couple hours, and the light one rides up all the time. And nope, not asking for reconstruction --- surgeons said it would have to be expanders then silicon --- my friends who went that route said it HURTS! So I'm dumping on the whole mess grrrrrrr.
-
Tessu ..Of course you can throw your prothesis AND prothesis bra into the fire !!!! I am uni too ( ugh )...but my prothesis isn't a problem ...the pathology sent through the weight of my boob ( ugh ) and they made my prothesis to the same weight ...
-
Ducky, I agree that it makes sense!!!!!
Twirp, welcome!!!!!!

Well, not throwing Hubby on but his shit. No he cannot have a bad mood and yell about anything whenI am on the computer searching for if breast cancer can metastasize to the skin, namely the center of my back. But it can and I am almost ready to bet it has. And the second day of Xeloda when I am terrified of an SE or allergic reaction. And when I have a nose bleed. So screw his bad mood, go outdoors and shovel something. I was fine, really fine and peaceful and we had a nice drive. Then he is pissed off our order came and the kitchen salt had broken open. And YES I know he is upset that this is happening and it is his cancer nightmare too. That is why he is not going in the fire, just the current shit. I am crying and having a bad afternoon but I was fine.
Throwing on SEs from Ibrance and Femara combo that made me feel like I had the flu for weeks, months. And the crashing of my WBC into the 2s then 1.8. And THEN they pull me from drugs to recover. I was so sick for so long. And I had TWO good days and felt like I could do something, planning my conservative garden and did some digging and seeding. And ate two days in a row, a whole sandwich instead of three bites. And Xeloda means I cannot really garden, no friction on hands or feet. So now Hubby has to help, if he would only grin and bear it and let it be fun and relaxing. BECAUSE I NEED NEED my garden.
Just not too happy today. Don't know how I will ever get over all the anger with medical professionals. I own my own sh*% but they do not own theirs. And here I sit. But going to garden to si in recliner and chill. Sorry, really for the vent but I don't have anyone to talk to. My sister is burdened w the reality of this, DD listens but I don't say all I need to and cannot dump. And Hubby gets to see too much as it is.

Throw it on the fire and let it burn!!! A little ranting is good now and then, I do it a lot.

Great and busy weekend.....Dinner with one son last night...breakfast brought to me by my daughter and son-in law.....then another daughter came right from church with 2 grandkids....then another son came around 12, and took me to lunch with his wife......then another daughter came and we talked for about 2 hours.....then another son came with 2 of my grandsons (his daughter's were in Disney), and he took me to dinner.........and gifts all around from all 6 of them............after my son asked me to dinner.....I was invited 2 more times to go to dinner, but had already said yes to youngest son......
