hugss and good night all....gotta get kids to baths..and beds....without my oldest two helpers....ahhhh

hubby said yes today to both of them sleeping over at friends tonight...cool cause they help so much..nice to get them out...but teased hubby why on same night ahhhhhhh

darn I gotta be a parent tonight, brush teeth...wow I have been spoiled..as my 13 year old really helps A LOT....she usually brushes the 3 year olds teeth..and helps by doing the baths...

well guess I will appreciate them more....just tired tonight..and could use the help as always hehe....I do have the 8 year old running the bath tub now...neither the 3 year old or little one like baths...so it is challenging...as they stand and cry thru it....

well gotta get going...want to get enough sleep each night here, as I work extra hard getting stuff accomplished at work before two weeks off...and get packing and such done too in next few days....so trying to focus on enough sleep..hugsssss,sarah

ps. I should hear from my drs assistant tomorrow...going to ask to go ahead and be referred to the dr they mentioned..an immunologist...and ask to be referred to the new neuro I want to see...
also I plan to focus more on yoga, making massage apts more often...at least once a month..affordable or not...as it does wonders as it did today for me...(insurance wont cover I wish it would) then also might go see a what is it called wiht the needles...oh cant think...

ok anyhow...focusing on sx help...and helping keep body healthier than I have been....is the plan..hugssss,sarah

Good Morning everyone....guess I'm the early bird again. It's supposed to be between 97-100 degrees here today so it's another day inside for me. Also a smog alert today so it's best that I stay inside. It's 75 right now at 7:10 AM..... I'll be so glad to see Summer outta here!

Was going to try and get to the grocery store today but won't now. Just too hot. Kevin has plans after work so I won't have to cook supper tonight. Nights like this I just have cereal or a sandwich or nothing. Maybe I'll just have a brownie!!

Hey, gas prices are falling here. $3.83 a gallon for regular as of last night!! Never thought I'd see the day where $3.83 made me smile.....

Everyone have a good day...try to stay out of the heat.

We had a whopper of a storm last night , woke me up around 3 am. That doesn't usually happen. I have a tendancy to sleep right through them. Was up for a little while and then managed to grab some more "Z's"

Gotta a few things to do today to prepare for this afternoon. Nervous as all get out, LOL. My mom and her grandmother painted, but I'm the first one trying to do something like this. Then again, we were all different painters too. My mom was really good at portraits and my great grandmother did landscapes that almost looked like pictures.

LOL, sorry for the rambling. Told ya I was nervous

Hope everyone has a great day!

Frank, so it was you who sent the storm my way, LOL.

I'm kinda like Deb. Didn't help my uneasiness when a lightening strike happened next to our home last year. Thank goodness it only hit the ground, but we had to replace a lot of electronics. And being that close, yes you feel it coming.

Sarah, Your kids are so sweet to help out like that. They sound great!

Kitty, I'll be happy when the heat breaks again too. I agree with you about being surprised at the joy of gas prices going down to what I was complaining about earlier in the year, LOL.

Didn't sleep well here either no storms though. I was hot! And ex hubby called me at 3 am! He didn't feel well.....go figure any way I am a walking zombie today!

I am so slow . I need a 'weekly insights thread' LOL. The heat is killer here too. Nothing unusual for here though. All summer the forecast is high 90 degrees low of 78 . I have a lousy day ahead of me . Appointment with bankruptcy attorney (how humiliating to admit that) at 5 pm. Not my best time of day . I've gotta make sure I have my entire life on paper together to haul in. I think I've made peace with it though, kinda, sorta. I keep telling myself it's not the end of the world. It is just so embarrassing even though I know it isn't my fault that I lost 40 percent of my income and dh and son have Crohn's and copays and dh's loss of income have driven us to this drastic measure. Ok, I feel better now . I'm done with my complaining for the day . Renee: tell your ex that 3 am calls are for life and death situations only .

don't be embarrassed dear !

medical expenses are now the major cause of bankruptcy, so you have a LOT of company these days...

sadly it's becoming increasingly common, as profit-motive has taken over the healthcare industry, and it's the main reason I favor single-payer healthcare.

Gonna be a hot one today. Ick! Need to make that to do list I keep talking about and get working on it. They are predicting storms this evening so DS may not have a golf lesson tonight.

Okay. Kicking myself off of here and getting to work.

all. Stay cool!

Joelle, don't be embarassed. It's there to help people. You've been through so much.
