Couch 46: How's tricks?

Don't know anything sitting but hope all is ok

Gawd I'd give anything to just once tear into my uncle and tell him what I really think of him lately. He's such a jerk taking advantage of my gma who has dementia. He always does this we(my mom, aunt, and I) try to do what is best and he comes in and ruins it by having conversations about living at her house without her. She supposedly agrees but then gets mean to us because he's there and she is not. I've disowned him as my uncle until he rectifies the situation. He is so pathetic I hate him. I am going to give him a piece of my mind when he comes over at lunch. It's going to be ugly but I don't give a ratsa**. He needs to hears it from someone besides his sisters. So here I am.

What do you want to know about it? I took Zoloft for PPD after both of my pregnancies.

I love the idea of crocheting over long distance

I'm fairly new to crochet and can do the basic stuff. I've had fun making a hundred hats for my almost year-old daughter.

Here's the basket. My hands were sore by the end - holding together four strands of yarn and crocheting tightly was a little taxing. My daughters nursery is gray and yellow.

And for kicks, here's the blanket I made for her - first blanket I ever made

so talented! I love the colors.

Morning Couch!

Its been raining and storming here since last night. Its so hard to stay focused and alert...and awake! I would much rather be curled up in my comforter watching cheesy Lifetime movies or maybe the first season of Homeland - either one! I don't think it helps that this Lexapro has me yawning like crazy either!

I hope this work day goes quickly! My nasty little co-worker is already on my nerves!

I hope everyone is doing okay this morning!

Have a great day Paige..... W wants o drive to Baton Rouge Friday ... Yeah 6 hours in a car one way sounds awesome!

Six hours - eek! Is it a get-a-way weekend or a business trip?

Too visit the grands....

Then ill have to drive 3 1/2 hours south when I get home, as I have to be in Houston Monday .

LC - you could let her go to Baton Rouge by herself. Driving one's self for 6 hours is not a big deal. You could take time at home for yourself. I am serious about this being okay. This is one of those situations where is okay to let a partner/spouse/other do their thing while you take care of yourself.

Yikes, that's a lot of driving.

Cuz that's not a lot of car travel at alllllllll

Ok just saying REALLY !!! Now you feel the need to come to the pool with me

I love the pool.... I'm fixin to get my suit on... I need to work!! I would also have to ask for Friday off or agree to work as we drove. I just switched jobs.... UGGGG

But I miss the kids too and we are having a hard time right now... We had agreed to have her come to Houston next month when I have to be there for 2 weeks and I'd take her to the beach... This is crazy

In my opinion, all the more reason for some time for you at home with her doing something else. Would the trip make your life better or worse or the same? My point is that you can make a decision about what is best for you and your partner can do something different that is good for her. You do have the power to keep life from being crazy for you in this instance. But if you think the trip would be good for you, then have a safe trip.

Granite - use sun screen.

But don't spritz it on others. Unless they want it.

Public service announcement.

Well I explained the situation to her and she said my meetings had changed , so do I want to go or not we need to let daughter know.

Granite... Can you rub sunscreen on my back and order me a Bloody Mary .. ?

Lola, it's perfectly ok not to go to BR with W. You don't get much time at home. I know when I used to travel a lot for work, a weekend at home was all I wanted.

My mom passed away a year ago yesterday and today would have been her 83rd birthday. My best friend and I took the day yesterday and just played - went to a mac-n-cheese place for lunch and then hung out at the mall like teenagers. Best therapy ever.

I called Dad yesterday (because it would never occur to him to call me to see how I was doing) and he wanted me to come for a visit this weekend, when my sister will be there. I've never been so glad that I have surgery on my hand Monday morning, so I had a good excuse not to go. I'm dealing with a bunch of issues around him right now and I just don't think I can be chipper and perky all weekend.

I hope the day is going well for all the couchies.

We are here if you need us critterlady ... on an unrelated note...working at home has caused a crush on Judge Milian.

Who is judge milian?
