I have two grown sons. Two men. I am a 49 year old woman with MS. Is this balanced? I don't think so. But.....I've created my own monster and I cannot expect everyone to be on board with my changes immediately. It's gonna take some time but I've got nothing better to do! I have the time!

I've explained to them that I am on a mission to save as much money as I can. My LTD will not last forever. Do they want to support me when it runs out and I'm left with not enough to cover my monthly expenses? I think not. And I don't want that either! :eek:

This year I'm not going to be so quick to jump to the rescue of everyone else. Maybe I need to be rescued sometimes. :cool:

I used to do that too, step in and try to help. but have been standing back and letting them figure things out lately.

I said something to my 20 y/o dd to the effect: I think I gave you the false impression that you NEED me. You're really quite capable, look at you. :cool:

It's you're brother we're not too sure about!

:D

I've convinced every one I hold the Universe together. Now it's hard to tell them I don't really. When I taught ED kids, my job was to hold the universe together when their worlds exploded. But now I'm tired, I can't do that anymore. DH not what become I expected (or he expected of me) in new normal. Neither one of us signed up for this. But it's not going to change.

Hey Salpal~ OK, this kind of goes along w/my earlier post. I kept my PT appt today, as knew the weather was only going to get worse as the day wore on, so as I was pulling back into my driveway, I got out of my vehicle to check the mailbox.

It was snowing and totally white out, but I looked up and there in the sky was a fuzzy, dull looking sun w/a halo around it. The SUN was poking through during a snowstorm! I just stood there looking up & getting covered in snow. I had a few honks, but I'm sure they were just trying to say ''Hey You!!! Get outta the darn snowstorm"!!!

Granted, the sun was only out for a couple of minutes, BUT write this on the wall....

DM had day #2 of making the best out of a bad day.... I smiled, I felt positive and even though it's still snowing~~ I saw the SUN.

DM - :cool:

I wanted to get outta the house, but stayed in due to the snow. Luckily, I got an email from a friend, made my day! YAY for staying in!

:)
