My sister in Iowa and I have "split custody" of Mom since my step-dad died.

Mom spends the Winters here in Arizona and goes back to Iowa and stays with her and her DH from May till Oct. This works well for all of us and Mom just loves it that she spends time with both of us.

She will be leaving in two weeks so we are getting her things together for the trip back. We send some clothes, cosmetics, and meds back UPS because of luggage restrictions of two bags or extra charges.

She gets a direct flight from Vegas so an easy trip to just take her or pick her up at airport and she LOVES flying.

I got sun burned yesterday as I wasn't thinking (with the good half of my brain) and was laying out in 80 degree Arizona sunshine. Dumb Dumb Dumb!!!

What's new with you?

okay ... I'm better ... living with myself is a challenge sometimes - I'm not the best person to be around when I'm not feeling good ... and now it's been a year - always hurting! just got down on myself ... sorry!

been trying to do some spring cleaning - and have a backseat full, with my old microwave and VCR/w remote (both over in storage) ... all going over to the Goodwill in Marinette ...

Good morning all. :) I'm a little foggy this morning, lol.

Yesterday was a bad, bad day at work. Only the second time I ever wanted to just lock up the office and leave. Of course I didn't, but that just gives you an idea of what a day it was. :(

I'm hoping that today will be better. The sun is shining and I have my usual cup of coffee. Keeping fingers crossed that it's not as crazy this afternoon as it was yesterday.


:grouphug:

Hey Jenn ... I certainly feel for you ..

since my last job 'let me go' saying that I didn't work with them, :Talkative: ... I found out how they treat people like cattle there! I still have friends there - and the other day, one called me to chat - and she was telling me all that they are doing and how she's actively looking to leave - you have no time for yourself!!! I was getting a stress 'attack/flare' just listening to her! glad I'm out of there!

finished my 2nd exam around 10pm last night - but I think I wore my brain out towards the last hour ... :Writting: ... but should still pass (had a 93% to start and this was 245 pts out of 1000 for the final)....

Hey all just finished homeschooling for the day whew! Long day cause I started late!

Sarah- I have no idea how anyone with MS could work 70 hours a week! And still be up and about!! Hopefully hubby is helping out with those kiddies!

Vonn- feel better, congrats on finishing the tests!

Jenn-sorry about the bad work day I had many of those before I quit working!

Frank, when ya comin to visit huh? You and Sandy need to carpool down here before her mom gets there!!

Sandy only wants her mom this half of the year cause she has yardwork plans for her! LOL She told me herself!! Glad you guys came up with a workable plan however I would at least make the bros kick in financially.

It's going to be in the 80s today. :eek: So need to hydrate like crazy today.

Hoping everyone has a great day today!

LOL Frank you will get past the sleeping pill hangovers it took me a couple of months but now after one infusion of caffiene I am normally good to go!

The weather has been beautiful here thus why I have not been online much trying to soak up all the sun I can for that low Vit d level you know!

Talked to Sandy last night on the phone had to email her pics of a house I want for approval! LOL

Sitting here trying to relax before work. Ugh! I'm so nervous. :holysheep: Today's the day I talk to boss about leaving, and I'm a little worked up. I know it's important for me and my hubby that I do this, but I hate giving bad news to nice people.
