c o u c h 38 - The dark ages....

So sorry to hear that healed. If you ever need to talk I'm here.

The only person that will look out for you is you. I wish you the best. Trust yourself.

I'm sorry, Healed. Anniversaries of deaths are so hard. The anniversary of my mother's death is in April and I dread it.

Would it help to share some of your memories?

A true word has never been written. Wise is this one!

I have seen allison krauss in concert. She is great.

I have been called a lot of things, wise, I'm not sure about. Goodnite all. I'll leave you with this. Guitar God.

My son is a senior and we're trying to get all of the paperwork and financial aid stuff done by the deadlines. I keep dreaming that we have missed the deadlines and it's all my fault.

We're also FINALLY getting the last of the paperwork done for joining another firm as partners. The move involves tripling our overhead, with no guarantee of that much additional business. The potential is there, but this feels like an unacceptable amount to me. My husband is really gung ho and so is my mother in law. I'm stressed.

AND my husband is really hurting my feelings, but it's the same old, same old, so I don't even feel justified in mentioning it to anyone. I need to suck it up and deal or get out, because clearly it is never going to chance.

AND I have been having such horrible nightmares (in addition to the ones involving my son's financial aid) that I am gritting my teeth in the night and it feels like I have cracked a tooth again.

LOL, are you sorry you asked yet?

Which one is the one you will look back on and regret not doing?

MKAC - sounds quite stressful. I could never work with my partner. We would kill each other within hours I believe. I also only dated 2 other lawyers before deciding there was no way that would work for me. So I moved on to msw's and IT workers and college profs.
I think you have done well to make things work this long. I hope the stress eases up.

Thanks, critter..

She was truly a wonderful woman.. she died from a post-partum infection. Her son, Jackson was only 5 days old. She had an older daugther named Ella who was 5 when her mom died.

She was the most loving, accepting, caring girl I have ever met. Her house was always open to anybody who just stopped by. We worked together as youth group leaders in our church and she was so great with those kids. She was also an artist, and taught HS art. Such a fun loving spirit. I miss her terribly. I was just thinking that with all of the things that I have be going through she would be one of my only friends who would scoop me up and say healed, I love you no matter what.

Good night all I need to get some sleep

Goodnight Mel and Ike. Healed I pray you do whats best for you. Im going to bed also. Sweet Dreams everyone.

Good night Mel and Lola.

I have moved on from creamy spinach dip to chocolate covered donuts.. Thinks have gotten serious. lol

I forget, are you still trying out any medications right now? Some of them can increase nightmares. Not that you aren't very clearly experiencing a ton of stress but that could be making it worse.

3000!!!!!

Whats my suprise for 3000 posts??? huh, huh??

Ok, well... Sorry for being such a downer. Good night.

Hey you can't leave if you have donuts! Did you see your surprise yet? You kinda hafta look around for it. That's all the hint you're getting.

Nope.. Haven't found it yet!

Go outside. Not "outside" outside.

Or you can make lemon pie. With cool whip, of course.

Look on the big list of forums page. And do not expect too much.

Or ricotta. Or toe-food.

Nothing thrilling (sorry).

I've been praying for you. And I totally want chocolate covered doughnuts now.

Pick them up, cut them in half, and squirt the juice in someone's eyes.
