please help

Dear sweet Sue,

You express so well how we feel as mothers about our children. Even though they grow up and go out into the world you love them with such an ache. I love all of mine so much but have always been especially in tune with my eldest as we are similar.

There is nothing like a good, warm cuppa! I wish we were all with you right now, cosy and laughing together. In my imagination I can see us all there. We would crowd every bad thought out of the room.

I won't be posting for a while so I just wanted to send you my warmest hugs and to let you know that I am with you in spirit. 

Love to all

gb 

Welcome home Sue!

I too love the way you express yourself.  The love between mother and child is like no other.  And like GB said...it doesn't lessen when they get older.  I have told my girls...I will always be your mom..always and forever!

Enjoy your cuppa...and bath.  I had a cuppa this morning of green tea..thought of you as it was brewing!

5 4 3 2 1......BLAST OFF!! HAHA

Time flies after work!! I don't get home till after 8pm...then bed..then start all over again the next day...

Hi Sue! Sorry you had to go back out tonight. When the weather gets cold I can't stand to go back out once I get home. Hurry home , take a nice warm bath and have another cuppa. My son and his girlfriend will be coming over tonight to decorate the Christmas tree. I have my "squirt bottle" ready for Lilly! If that doesn't stop her , I am shipping her off to you! She is such a stinker. But when I come home from work , and there she is , actually wags her tail like a dog and puts her little ears back and is so happy to see me , I just melt!lol Well , got to go get things ready. Pizza and leftovers tonight. Yea! Take care Sue.

Hi Lisa , Karen , Shirlann , Sheila, and gb , Oh gb , have a safe and fun trip to Canada. Hi to everyone else. xxxx Melody

I am so the same - I have a very annoying cat that I adore, who will only give me the time of day when

1)his food or water bowl is empty

2) I am on the toilet

3) I am in the bath and have left the door open

4)when the boyfriend comes over to visit (jealous little brat)

He is black, and overweight, and short haired and sheds enough hair for me to MAKE a wig - His name is Loki (the norse god of mischief)

but there is nothing like the weight of him at my feet at night, and of course when he deems it appropriate to interrupt my typing for a head scratch. He is bigger than my little cocker spaniel was and so when I say weight.. I MEAN It... lol

and there is nothing like my jammies after work, I am lucky if I get all the way down the hallway to the bedroom before all my clothes are off - especially this godforsaken plastic thing I have for a boob.

Off goes everything and heaven help anyone that makes me go out for anything. It will ALWAYS wait till tomorrow......

Have a great wonderful pet day. Hey? Is there such a thing? we have mom and dads day, and even grandparents day - is there a pet day? There surely should be!!!!!

Hi Ladies,

I have to say first off, I LOVE the pictures of everyone's creatures!!  They are just the cutest.  What would we do without our furbabies???

gb - have a great time "up north" as we say here in the states. We'll make sure to take extra care of Sue while your gone.

Sue, its after 7 here in NJ, so I have to assume you are fast asleep. Try not to fret over your hair.  I did and it wasn't worth it.  I actually  enjoyed not having to fuss with it everyday.  It would take me no time at all to get ready for work - no drying, styling, gelling, mouseing, absolutely nothing!!!  LOL.   The ladies are right, it probably will start hurting at some point. Thens when I had DH shave it off.  It hurt to put my head down on a pillow. So I lopped it off!!  If your up to it , why don't you have a haircutting party with your boys & OH?  Have some drinks & treats and let them cut away!!! 

By the way, I pm'd you.  Did you see it?

Gotta run,

TTYS,

Valerie

Hi Sue, you should be sleeping!!!  I've missed you.  I have been feeling too good this last week and have been busy "decking the halls" for christmas.  It is so much fun. 

Once my hair began to fall out, I kept it in a ponytail to keep it from going everywhere until I finally braved it and shaved it.  My dear husband shaved his head the day before I did mine, and the day I shaved my head my sweet brother came over and let me shave his head.  Then my 3 boys shaved their heads as well.  It was so fun instead of traumatic.  It was still hard (and still is!) to look in the mirror and see the stranger looking back at me.  On the plus side, the savings in hair care and time spent blowdrying and curling my hair has been a blessing.  I'm not sure how to post pictures on this site, but here is a link to the page of my blog where the picture of us all is posted after our headshaving party: You have to scroll all the way to the very bottom

Hope you can go back to sleep!!!! 

Good morning ladies!  I'm gearing up for round #3 today.  I may or may not be back tonight to check in with you.  Last time it was like night of the living dead--I seriously felt like a walking zombie.  Hopefully with that darn Adriamycin gone, I won't feel as bad.

Take care everyone and have a wonderful day.  Hope the end of the workday comes quickly for you, Sue.  I imagine you're tired today after spending half the night on the sofa.

Love and hugs,

Karen

I seem to be running behind on the comments about our furbabies. My Penelope is precious. She is a full blood basset hound and weighs 55 lbs and thinks she is a lap dog. She tries to climb in my lap when I come home from work. And if I scold her she actually goes to the corner to sulk.

Sue hope that you get feeling better. You do need to rest. It was nice of the young man to take over the last of your shift to let you rest some.

Thanks for the comment about my son. He called me again today, the ship is leaving port today and the only way we can rapidly communicate now is through e-mail. I don't know what I would do without it. I guess I would be worring too much if I could not communicate with him every couple of days.

Sheila

Sue,

Hoped you enjoyed your cuppa & your chocolate - Shirlann is right, what o are feeling is normal, except for the swelling - I'm glad you are going to get that checked.

Sheila - I have a 105lb bloodhound that thinks HE'S a lap dog.  I actually pushed him off of me so I could type this.

Ulla - my heart goes out to you..........hop on the yellow brick road with Sue and things will get better.

Hugs all around,

Valerie

Karen - hope you aren't too under the weather, post when you can.

Shirlann - congrats on the kitten.  If I brought one into my house my dogs would eat it for lunch.!!! 

Hi Melody...and all the ladies here!

I am finishing up my work day...can't wait to go home!

Melody...I love the story about the 13 little piglets! Oh my...I can just see them, and you feeding them with an eye dropper!  A nurturer at a  young age you were!

Val...your 105 lb lap dog...omg...I laughed when I read that!  They are such funny creatures...our pets..they love us unconditionally and they are pleasers!  My dog is truly a lap dog...all 4 lbs of him!!

Sue...I hope you are sleeping well right now and in your bed..not downstairs..haha.

Karen...post when you can dear...anxious to see how today went for you.

Shirlann...congrats on the new kitty..sounds like he is wearing white mittens for winter!

Good evening to all!

xoxo
