Liz, I could have given her all she wanted too in the snow department. We are finally seeing all of the ground after over 2 months and everyone says they have lost count of the snows.

The older people here in Co. says our winters are going back to how they were when they were kids. This is our second really snowy winter. It just didn't stop me from going this winter due to having a 4 wheel drive.

Debbie, The next snow I get, it's all yours.

Debbie, I did forget to talk about the kids which I'm like you I am good at. I know you are a great hands on Mom and they are doing so good. We have all became such good friends over these years. I talked to two on the phone last week and I love that. My friends are all passing and my best friend is in the nursing home now. I'm glad we all found each other and as Vicc said some day we will meet together in a better place.

My boys are great. They still spend one to two nights a week with me. I thought as they got older, they wouldn't want to be with me but they call me up if I haven't called them. I pick them up from school, we hang out, I take them in the morning. I am getting out more. I am seeing some better days except for this pelvic pain and I am having a cat scan Friday with contrast so they can see what is going on. If I can beat that, then I have it made. I still have to keep my minimal Methadone in me but that will most always be I believe. I have several other irons in the fire right now and enjoying it.

The boys are in the 7th and 9th. They are both doing good with grades, both in sports, and both have girl friends and they are very nice girls also. I am happy about that. The kids bought a home 5 blocks from me so they will be in it this month and the boys will be able to walk to see me all of the time.

How are you doing with your RSD? I hope you have it in check also. It sounds like it.

Liz, I wanted to say hi to you too and I am glad to see you around.

Love ya,
Ada

I do see ya'll posting here now & then too. I too have my pain in check as long as I take meds on time. Here one day I was woke up to take my 6am meds. I went back to sleep & woke up later thinking I had taken my meds right???? But wonderin why the heck my feet hurt me so badly. Thought it might have been the weather changing back to cold & wet. WRONG!!! When getting my meds at 1:30pm I saw I never did take my 6am meds. TALK about PAIN............took until the next day to get back on top of the pain even taking extra pain meds & my BTP meds. I will never do that one again. So like I said the pain isn't too bad if I take my meds on time...........talk about & at oneself............geesh!!!

So good to see ya'll posting. We have had our share of snow this winter. To the tune of having to pay out a $500 deductible to fix our car. ICE & SNOW slid off the garage roof & took out or engine hood big time. Got my daughters car too but not as badly. I sure could think of other uses for that money darn it too. Like saving it for next years fuel oil bill. And oh btw the reason the car wasn't in the garage is because parking is at a premium where we live & so we have our camper trailer in the garage. So I too am sick & tired of winter. Like Liz posted to me this past week, She & I both are Febu-weary. Liked that btw Liz

I am hoping my little guys never tire of visiting me, but they moved further away now so I am getting prepared for that. Her Mom & I share every other weekend with the kids now. A bummer actually but so far it is working. Also the boys in school, Logan & Silas, hate their new school & hate living with Mom's BF. He is way strict, something they are not used to. Altho they need a firm hand, Sue & I think he is way too hard on them. And the BF & Mom fight constantly I guess. She really goofed up here I think, but is too proud to admit it also. Darn us humans & our pride. It is our biggest downfall I think. And the undoing of most of us. Anyway they are 6.5, 5.5 & 2 yrs old now. Baby is Romyn.

They are all a year older in the picture I have here. I need to change it huh?

I do know what you mean about keeping the meds in you. I take very little Methadone but if I skip one dosage and don't remember it for awhile then I am in horrible pain. Like you, I have to start popping them to get it calm down. I still don't take much though. The most I usually have to take is 10 mgs. of it if I have forgotten it. But the pain is unbearable.

I am sorry to hear about your car. I do know what you mean about using the money for other things. I went yesterday to have a tired fixed and it turned out I had a nail in a second one. It's the 3rd tire I have had to have fixed in the past couple of months along with me and the kids having to have 333. worth of work done on my transmission. If I had one month without an extra bill I would most likely be dead and that would be the reason for it. LOL

IF you stay close to your Grandbabies now they will stay that way. I was in the hospital the day both of mine was born so I have never been away from them for long. They are such joy for us aren't they. They grow up too fast too.

I know what you mean about the men too. Susan remarried about 10 years ago but Travis just loves the boys to death. He is at their games, he spends his money on them and they all do weekend things together. Their real dad is our problem but he is working now and hopefully will not drink as much. Susan made a bad mistake the first time. Maybe finally your daughter will realize she is in a bad relationship and get out.

Hugs to you.
