hubby's new neice is having problems because her mom had a bipolar break which is treatment resistant. My brother in law, the dad is being an irresponsible jerk, which doesn't surprise us. My husband's parents are worried about them, and us. We having financial problems due to high insurance payments for daughter's health insurance etc. We are trying to be as frugal as possible. In a way it's a good thing because we can be reminded to live as simply as possible.
I am having anxiety about all of this, especially this poor little baby girl. And for a funny I should tell you that hubby fell asleep with bubble gum in his mouth, again, and I woke up with gum in my hair and all over my neck for the SECOND time. I woke him up and he doesn't remember that at all. He had the cut hair with bubblegum as prof this morning. Money is really a concern and I am concerned for hubbie's parents. They keep having to deal with stressful pain in the neck kids. They should be having the opportunity to enjoy their twilight years. But, they get to worry about grandchildren and children who are all 50ish and we should be grown up by now. What is wrong with us that we can't grow up and our kids are worrisome? I just feel wretched tonight about it all. I had to buy one med that cost $69.00. Things have to change. I had an interview for a job yesterday. I feel numb about it. And I feel like I shouldn't complain. We are lucky compared to most. Just need some support. Wanna rescue that little neice, wanna take away the parental worries, and we all are part of that. Including son who is not flying right and they are not happy with him. Can't things just be nice and not stressful for a while please? I can Bargain my way out if it works. I'll driver slower if... I will ... if... |

Thanks Butterfly lady, you are very kind. I wish I could just feel like a not burdonsome person for a while is all. And I want less stress.

my thoughts are with you

I read this earlier and so much wanted to respond but was afraid to as I have no concrete advice or suggestions. All I can say is that I do understand, and I really do relate, and I really am sorry that you have so many stressors in your life right now.
My thoughts are with you.

I,too, read this earlier. I delayed my response until now when I'm not so upset with other issues.
About the gum in hair, try using ICE to take it out, might save some of the cutting. grrrrrr. I think that's childish and the guy needs to have a rule: no gum in bed! Breathe woman, breathe. None of us can rescue the world. Maybe if those adults who haven't grown up yet HADN'T been rescued every time, they would have learned how to stand on their own two feet? IDK just a thought. Yes, I feel for children. If you can be moral support, help her learn how to rise above circumstances, she might have to grow up faster but at least you will have helped her grow up! TC

Okay, so the rule is no gum after 6:00 p.m. He He. I feel I am a pain to those in my life who support me, too tremendous. Lots of questions and overwhlmed feelings. almost had a wreck today with a drunk driver driving a 2006 mercedes Bendz wagon. I was in my little truck. OOOH I was so mad. police handled it. anyway, I am in pain, lifted and shouldn't have. Silly me.

Sounds like a plan (the no gum thing.) What's an adult doing chewing gum anyway... unless he/she plays baseball. .. ok don't answer that.
 I think the frustration of NOT being able to ... whatever it is... is compounded because "it" doesn't "get done." The solution, for me, was to FIND other ways of coming as close to "getting it done" as possible. That ended the complete frustration of it all. (I was cleared for up to 8lb lift from waist heighth, but PT and I found I can only try 3-5 lbs from waist high.) That, as you know, limits picking up most anything important. (Ok...mail...is important.) I hope you can find... and then remind yourself of the DON'T LIFT that rule
