My DD14 was home sick one day and saw Maury. She had to ask "Um, aren't we only fertile for like 5 days???"

Very intutive. So that must mean the ladies on Maury..... we'll, they ain't got no brick house. "She's a brick house..." "...and I'll huff and I'll puff..." oh never mind, doors open.

Well, turns out mom did sign papers at sellers house for the house yesterday but did not date it and I believe gave them some earnest money for the title company. My executor sis called mom last night--here---and they had a nice conversation about everything else but the house and at the end talked about it shortly about doing it "right."

Mom yesterday said she hoped sis wouldn't call. I think because she is stressed by it all. Mom said, she thought the sisters would be happy that I'm moving out of our childhood home because it's such a big drain financially.... She said the hubby to friend & sellers----said it sounded maybe that it wasn't so much about the money but the way of life, i.e. it's still out in the country, I can still have chickens....

I asked her to elaborate on that because I wanted to see if it was how I felt: Mom says, because they expect you to live your life like they do. Because they kept saying but there are so many houses up for sale now and mom did not argue back, but this is the one that has all this land and is out in the country like g likes... So they expect you to live in a tiny home in the city...but it didn't work out that way. Then she goes on to say, if I don't get alimony as long as I need it then I can always go get a j-o-b since I'll need the $500 extra a month.

I said, hopefully s.s. will kick in by the time I need it if the judge does put a limit on alimony. And I already thought about if that happened working part time somewhere like the local gas station... I talked about if my sisters could be in my body and my situation for a week...and mom said, forget your situation...if they could just be in your body they'd understand. I am never without pain. My neck is on fire, my right shoulder has cold pricklys that never cease, that causes numbness down the right arm, sharp pains when both arms bend too much, and headache that won't quit.... And my heart--well, it's my heart and not only does too much activity make it feel scary and chest pains but stress can spur it on too...and even times when I don't feel like I'm thinking so much of stressful things or am I doing anything physical but the pains can come then too which is scary. So I sit and take another aspirin and clutch my nitro bottle until the pain ceases. So I would think sisters would rather have thier health...then worry about how I spend my days even if they are bitter I get to stay home with my children and not have them in daycare. So there it is...but it is still about the money... cuz they "work thier fingers to the bone" and "work their arses off"....even if it's a temp. loan and I'm payin mom back every last penny...better believe it...or sisters will take it out of my inheritance WITH interest. They're so helpful.

Ok, so....I know this time in my life is stressful but all I can think about is that moving to the smaller home and one I can manage and afford---will be a blessing. I sell my house and pay mom back and get the sisters off my back. I put the divorce behind me. And I live life to the best of my ability and remember that God loves me always even when times are tough and I'm wondering why I have to go through this valley, I'm scared of many things but mostly my health, but I He loves me and that's all that matters.

And now I must finish packing the girls...washed their favorite jammies last night...need to pack them. Need to give them baths. Need to make homemade brocolli soup on request of my sweet lil sick 9 year old. Have to meet storage guy at 10 am. Missionary young men---19 and 21 yr.s are coming to my home at 10:30 and will start to load a borrowed truck with my things to take to storage. X comes afternoon to pick up girls. And somehow keep my sanity this day. And no matter the busy-ness remember that my children need mommy's love and attention and reassurance---especially since oldest one is very ill and thinks she shouldn't go with her dad today but I told her she had to, the judge said daddy needs his time with you girls and this is one of those times but not to worry because Aunt A will take care of you and she'll have a thermometer and they can get more fever reducer meds if you need them. And to remember to cover your cough, wash your hands, and you won't go to the water slides until the middle of the week and you should be recovered by then. I think she has times of wanting to go and then her fever spikes again and then she wants to stay home with mommy...it's just court ordered and he's coming from Va. so I guess it is what it is and she'll be ok and I'll be ok....and I love her and I worry about her and miss her and now I"m wondering if I shouldn't run her up to the walk in??? before she goes just to double check she doesn't have strep or now she's peein a bunch and complaining about lower tummy issues so maybe she's got a uti now too??? waaa waaaa....

Things will be fine....

And Molly dog is killing a kiddy pool but I'm letting her...it's a good way to distract her from digging holes.

Mapes, looks like you might be in the homestretch now. I pray it is so.

Me, I'm just struggling not to drown. Looks like there will be a consignor "posse" complete with sheriff showing up on my door thursday. Yay!

Boo, hope dad's doing well.

Laree, ever get the spreadsheet debacle fixed?

Dacs, hope you're enjoying the VaCa (isn't that pretentious? I hate words like that. Maybe I need to have a convo with myself.....)

Michelle, love the baby. I'm praying to go "icelandic" myself.

Everyone else must be off enjoying the sunshine. I have to go to bed soon. My run was canceled last night but I still had to stay "on call" til this morning. Stopped to get hay and feed. Fed horses, sort of helped J clean the stall. Fed chickens. And now I'm trying not to lose my sanity completely over the store "fall out".

Why the crap can't I win the lotto? What does god have against me, really? I AM NOT a horrible person. I'm not..........

Good Saturday morning!

Boy oh boy did it hail last night, I got up at 2:30 just to look at it piled up on my car.
Well, gee whiz, I rarely get to see white stuff around here, so I'm weird stuffs like that is exciting.
DH got up to go crunch crunch crunch on the front porch in it.

Oops, I just used my backspace key.

Orchy, you have a good weekend too!

My dad's appointment went pretty well yesterday. good thing I went though, all these appointments and meds and stuff, he never took but one med before, and now there are different ones, and doses keep changing, and then he stops ones, and restarts them etc.
Then while we were waiting for the rx at the pharmacy, he asked why were sitting there, hmmm
But, we switched pharmacys, cuz the other one messed up big time, and he had just gotten a months supply, and its two weeks later, so the ins was questioning, and I had to explain, cuz my dad didn't know, so I said cuz the dose ws increased, so the other ran out already, and now this one is even more dose increase. So they filled it, but that made him wonder why we were sitting there.
And doc said ok to go to the gym.
And next week after the blood draw he will probably go back on the coumadin, and get his other med they told him not to take anymore changed to a different one cuz of the potassium level.

And then, I have to report to my nurse sisters what the docs say, and I can only talk in layman,
cuz sometimes when they ask me questions I say I dunno, so they think I don't know what's going on and stuff.

But I did a super good job explaining the cardiologist visit, I think I had all the questions answered before they asked, and my sister said thanks and good job. phewwwwwwwwww

Cuz when I told her he was on coumadin and I didn't really know exactly why, she started telling me he had a heart attack or stroke, cuz in the olden days only those people got that, but now days tons of people are on it. But his is to prevent stroke, cuz he is a-fib and rbb.
Mostly I monitor his meds, and made sure he ate, but his appetite came back and he is eating again.
I like it better when he is off coumadin, cuz I don't know if that is what is making him so confused and not hungry. Cuz both times he's been of he feels better, unless that is cowinky dinky.
