1day at a time

Laura - I know all about those bugs since my husband is an exterminator. Heck I can't tell you how many bugs he brings home to show my son and then give them to a friend who collects bugs. Have you ever seen a writing spider? They are harmless and they do not go in your house. They just like to sit in there web (they are know for the zig zag pattern in there web, they do this to make they look bigger to there enemies) and catch things. I only ask because you should see them around since it is the season for them. My husband will not kill them becuase they eat other bugs. So he proceeded to bring home several and place them all around my house. Which is kinds cool but this is the only spider I will not squish cause I don't like the others. Okay my Nurses on the board. I am going to the Dr today because I have had severe lower right pain in my pelvic groin area. Started Friay with bloating and belly button hard to touch and then I also have my monthly. Then Sat more bloating and Nausea and heating pad on my back and front. Sun. nausea, worse pain and really could not sleep last night up till 3am then feel asleep woke up at 8 dripping in sweat. I think it is Appendicitis however because I had then new tubal thing almost a month ago I thought it was that. I don't have a fever (I hardly ever run one when I am sick) But I can't stand up straight. I have an appt at one with my OB Dr since they have internal ultrasound an other xrays so i will keep you guys posted.

Julie - Congrats on another grandbaby Okay so can I just say since my tubal in August I have had the worse Period ever. I pretty much have had cramps everyday they might go away for a day or two then back OMG it is like my body wants to make up for the 5 yrs I didn't have one since I had the IUD. It makes me want to sleep and lay around but I can't I have to find a job and take care of the house.

Laura - Your post made me feel good, Just to know that I did make the right decision. Also the fact that you can tell when he does not take his meds. I hope you don't take this the wrong way but I am glad you see the difference when he is not taking his meds. I say that only because I just did not want it to be me thinking I am being impatient. For example he asked not to take his Concerta toay because he wanted to sleep in cause he was tired from school and we agreed he did not have to take it. OMG from the time he got up he was like a boucing ball not focusing at all.

Jewel - This is kinda long but I wanted to let you know you are not the only one that has dealt with this. That happen to me as well with Alex when he was in elementary school. His Dr explained it to me that with ADHD a child has no deductive reasoning ( knowing what is right and wrong sometimes get mixed up in there brain) meaning that this part of his brain was not fully developed. Also where some kids get hyper when drinking soda it actually calms kids with ADHD down. ( We actually trid the 8oz of soda in the am and other methods before going to med route.) Example of what happened to make us decide to put him on Concerta was he threw a stone from the playground at a window at school when asked why he did not know why he did it. Thank goodness the window did not break and no one got hurt. Now with some parents this is a touchy subject. i researched and researched before putting him on meds but with Concerta. He takes it before school when he gets up in the morning and when he gets home it is out of his system. Also the Dr said he only has to take it on days of school and not the weekend or the summer. He is 15 and some days he takes it and sometimes he doesn't. We were also told he should grow out of it and eventuley will not need it anymore and alot of times the child decides he does not want it. Hope this helps in some way

Your grandbaby is too cute. The shake thing helps us but my problem is when I get off the shakes like everyone says I did not have surgery on my brain just my stomach. LOL You know what frustrates me is when one day by band is fine then like yesterday everything I ate I pb that is so annoying

It seems like there is only 3 and it also seems we are expierencing the same issues with money and life right now. I pray we all will get back on track

You are correct it is will. I am glad you are doing well.

You are too Funny LOL

That is a great idea I think we will look into this never thought about it. Okay what is my goal?? It has always been 175 not really sure why I am mean I just picked a goal which roughly 108 pounds loss. Okay 175 but mini goal 195. My parents and DH want to be cremated. My FIL was open casket and it was the worst funeral I had been to. By MIL screamed and cried and had to be walked into the main room. After seeing that; my side of the family said cremation. Both of my grandparents were and other older family members. It does not prevent crying when alone but example for my grandmother we had a celebration of life and even with some tears it was mostly laughing and sharing stories. As for me I believe you should Celebrate the life they had not mourn there death but don't get me wrong crying is acceptable. Apples - I actually love your instructions on what to do when you pass because you are explaing to people what you want to happen.

Yeah Congrats!!! I am so excited for you all.

Arlene - I hope everything is going well with the delivery. Oh my goodness a two year old then a new born she will have her hands full and I know you will have so much fun I wanted to post this for my July Butterflies since some of us post on multiple boards So alot with me this weekend. I took my son a went to see my long time friend in NC on Labor Day. She lives in Waynesville which is roughly 2 1/2 hrs from. She lives a very simply life. Meaning her and her husband have one car she home schools and really just have the basics to live nothing really extravagant. That is something they decided to do a long time ago. Everyone is in good health so the have blue cross as an isurance plan they bought a very long time ago. She kind of lives in the mountains and has a couple of chickens which are cool to hold (only cause I have never held on before). Makes you want to get rid of the material things an live on one income but with my health issues I can't cause we would never get a health policy because of my diabetes and other health issues. Right now I have to start payiong $1301.00 a month to keep cobra it is going to hurt us bad. I carry the insurance cause my DH is self employed. I have thought about not keeping it but our luck a medical procedure would be needed and then what more money owed. I was searching through my old medical paper work and realized something. I always thought I never weighed less than 200 pounds after I had my son in 95. But I am happy to say I have in 11/18/98 I weighed 192 and then in 03/11/99 I weighed 189, Last I found was 1/18/2000 I weighed 194. I thought well i guess I can do this after all. It is amazing how much your mind can trick you into thinking things. On the job hunting front nothing is happening everyone wants you to apply only and not come in there office. So tomorrow I am going to the retail places and go an inquire about my pending resumes.

Happy Labor Day!! Everyone

I am not sure it would be a chick flick so much. I read the book and loved it. It was more about trying to find yourself your purpose or actually being happy with yourself inside and out. I just hope the director did not try to change the book to make a better movie. There actually is a second book that just came out I want to get.

Just a quick Hi. Oh yes boys these days wax. I have taken my son several times to get waxed. I have even taken him and some of his guy friends to get pedicures some get colors some don't. It is totally exceptable to man scape these days not like when I was in school. Kierstyun - Welcome to the board ask anything you want if Janet does not answer right away so of the others will.

Linda, Hugs and prayers for the whole family sent you way. Hope everything turns around for her and all of you. Take care of yourself, give Aylah extra hugs.

JeweI - When Alex was little we i had the same issue he was farther along then the other students so he would get in trouble for his "behavior" but it was just cause he was bored. Hang in there it will get worked out.

I actually just got changed from Lexapro to some other meds basicAlly she changed everything because I had been on the same meds for years she said if this did not work then I need to go back to talk to someone but now whith no insurance that will have to eait. B/C it is 1300 we don't have each month for us to keep my medical for cobra. That is why I am so desperate for any job but everyone else out in the job market is to. Also employers are taking advantage of that and only hiring part time so they do not have to give you medical.

Thanks Kimaly it probably is just panic attacks I am on some newer meds that are working well at least before I lost my job and got sick. i just wish my DH would understand. i guess some men do not. And I felt the same way panic attacks I thought meant you were weak but my Dr said that really is not the case.

Hey All, I am hanging in there coughing my A** off but still looking for a job. Why is it some family tell you to rest up as much as I can and others are pushing me to keep applying. I try to apply at least for 1 or two jobs today. I have applied for like 15 jobs already I mean come down already people. Either I stay sick or get better which is it. Okay I am thankful i am still not at he hospital and can be at home in my own bed :biggrin:

That is what I need more craziness LOL

janet - I know it should not be on all my shoulders My DH and most men handle things differently thats all I am going to try to talk about it tomorrow with him before i take the jewelery I don't want things to come back down on me. You know what I mean.

I actually ending up going to the er cause I felt my breathing was getting worse needless to say no bronchitis it has cleared up and my heart function is good. However the steriod my reg dr put me on spiked by sugar to over 400 never ever been there. I still feel out of breath so the er dr there gave me an inhaled steroid which will stay in my lungs and should work. i should know in the next couple of days he said that I will need to have a lung function test if it does not get better maybe it is just anxiety who knows Love you all and I will keep you posted.

thanks ladies your guys are right you feel so close and never have met them. i actually ending up going to the er cause I felt my breathing was getting worse needless to say no bronchitis it has cleared up and my heart function is good.

Hi Everyone, I am hanging in there I am so stressed today I think that is what is making it hard for me to breathe. I told my DH I wanted to sell some of my gold I don't wear and he gave me a handful of stuff he doesn't wear anyway kinda big fight about it. I want to have a garage sale to sell things but i think he is upset we are in this and stuck. He is leaving everything up to me and what I do with his things UGGGG I feel like I can't breathe ok just complaining but all my friends have been helping me explaining the different between how men and woman deal with things. Everyone on this board has been a big help thank you for your companionship and listening to me. I love you all very much and God willing I will get to meet you all.
