Thanks, I am taking care of me DM and I did make one of the res-o-lution things. I promised myself that I would not worry so much about everyone else and to focus on the bigger picture. I tell so many that if you can't change it why worry? I need to follow my own advice.

that you all come to a solid agreement. I'll also pray for your BIL to come around. I fear my BIL will be the same with his mom. Ugh, family drama. Hate it.

I'm glad you let us know what was happening DM, but so sorry to hear all your bad news. Hey tho that's what friends are for, to unload on and hope for good words of encouragement back.

I didn't get around to reading all the posts but ummm...that hat?? It isn't a pee soup bowl is it??

It must be a ''one size fits all'' and it's hard plastic so it won't mess my hair up. Plus, the white will go with anything I wear. Now, wasn't that thoughtful of them?? Don't think it will keep my ears warm though. Maybe it's a soup bowl

When I worked in the lab we called them nurses caps!

LMAO!!! Never been much of a hat person, but maybe if I put a little strap on it, I could ride on AMN's scooter w/her. HA! No way, I've seen her drive that thing!

We did MIL's pre funeral planning today and I did alright, until the director looked at me and said that she remembered how hard it was for me when we planned my Mother's services ahead of time. She was being kind, but it sure brought back memories.

Then, I went into MIL's bedroom to get a tissue and there right on her dresser, was a memorial folder from my Mother's funeral w/my sweet Mom's pic on the front. She was so beautiful! But, da da daaaaaaaaaaa toxic BIL is coming around to our way of thinking finally and will be checking w/a NH today. *relief*

My DH pretty much put his foot down and the older sis agreed! That is one less thing to worry about for now. I have so much appreciated the support and advice/suggestions from you all b/c I know we are all here for a reason and we all have hurdles in front of us; sometimes when we least expect them. THANK YOU!!!!

You'd have to be more charming than that considering what she tells us about you. Is it true you........oops sworn to secrecy on that one.

I didn't want to mention this before, but AMN told me that I was just about the nicest, sweetest, most wonderful person she's ever met.

She didn't want me to say anything about it, but I felt you needed to know the truth, Sass!

Well, today I have to take DS to see the surgeon in regards to his left side pain, so am a little nervous about that.

MIL is still in hosp and we are working w/a social worker for NH or skilled care placement. And, I'm just waiting on my labwork to come back to see what they are gonna do about my leetle, breetle bones. Life is interesting.

OK, back to why AMN worships me so much~~~~
