I hate it when people post just to post.....

Good morning everyone else, even those who don't love me anymore.

Aw, don't say that.

Look, I may not like the outcome (though not just from one side, to be fair), but I know the job is overpaid and underworked -- er... :frown:

J/K... I know how thankless it is.

Now, good morning all! Im late signing on, but my mother is visiting with us for a few weeks, and between being up at all hours helping her to the bathroom, and stuff, and getting her set for the day as both DH and I are out, this really is my first break. I have such a great respect for those who deal with the elderly leaving them their dignity and treating them with compassion. I love my mother, but I find this personal care very difficult and difficult for her to accept from her daughter. Dh is a real support too, but she doesn't like him to see her after her 'accidents' etc, so it's up to me to get her into the tub etc. And my house is not designed with the amenities she really needs....but I digress.

Now, if I could just get back into the groove on other 'band' things...portion control, exercise....

What an awesome daughter you are.:frown:

We are turning into a society of 'mama's boys' in which everything is done for us, we have no responsibility for anything, and nothing is our fault. Ever.

Well, it's a bit confusing. It's never our fault unless it's somebody else's fault, and then, because it's not THEIR fault, it becomes OUR fault. Hence the deal where it's now the teachers' faults for the kids not doing well. Got it?

Now, if I could just get back into the groove on other 'band' things...portion control, exercise....

Have you tried the pouch test? I'm still on it until tomorrow, but it seems to really be helping, AND I've lost weight -- though I don't know how much cuz I was too scared (okay, of fellow bandsters who told me not to weigh, lol) to get on the scale when I started. I'm down another 1/2 pound this morning, bringing me to a new low.

Well, actually that skit with Plain brought me to a new low, but you know what I mean. :frown:

Oh...and to those that pm'd and emailed me during my absence, THANKS! Sincerely, you will never know what those words meant to me - a lifeline if you will. There are some wonderfully warm-hearted good-souled beautiful people on LBT. I hope you all appreciate how rare it is to find one such person in a lifetime, and here there are several.

An emotional heart-felt Thank you.

I would have, but I didn't think you were coming here. :frown:

PJTP-I am going to try to pull a KC today. I have been up all night, but I am going to try to stay up all day. I have already put dinner in a crock pot so that I don't have to worry about burning my house down. I go back to my regular shift tomorrow. If I take a nap now, I won't sleep tonight. Last night was mentally draining. I am telling you this so that if I start typing gibberish (more so than normal), you all will know it is from lack of sleep adding to my normal stupidity.

Slim honey - I've had years of practice and induction into the mental instability that allows me to function in a sleep free zone - my prayers for you!

Perhaps after mymother goes home. I just cannot introduce a food regime while dealing with my mother.

Any story here to share? (MY grammar is terrible, but you know what I mean.)

Kinda like KC.... She does sleep - about 4 hours a day! Half my normal sleep requirement.

What's in the crock pot? I'm planning a pork roast to be put in tomorrow morning, ready when we get home!

I am making a tweaked jambalaya recipe (I've added kidney and black Beans instead of rice).

[BethFromVA 5]

So, slim, what time's dinner? *grabs fork and knife and bangs them excitedly on the table*

Not really a story Tap... But I am up for a promotion which would give me another 3 weeks a year vacation and I want it bad... I am just hoping one of the chicks ahead of me has it bite her in the ass lol.
