Robin - Happy Birthday - I hope you enjoy the day and wrap up a lifetime of missed celebrations all in one day!
Just sneaking in to say hi and goodnight - day off tomorrow - no Tay but my mom is coming after her divorce hearing in court - I hope it goes well and her EX is legally her EX and that he is forced to come up with every single penny he owes her!!

Happy birthday, Robin! I hope it's a fantastic day and that everybody spoils you rotten!
Hope everyone else is having a good day as well.
Hey SW! You doing okay?
I'm good, Kristin. It's a beautiful day in Alabama. Will reach 72 and it's sunny. How are you?
tired - but that is the norm.
It's overcast and muggy here. It is almost 60 right now but will be in the 70's later.
LM did sleep all night...on the floor....sigh!
I hope Robin got breakfast in bed for her "first" birthday :)
Kristin, I've had my little guy in bed with me since Saturday. My peeps are coming home this evening and it's going to be hard getting him back in his own bed.
Happy Birthday, Robin!
Happy Birthday Robin! I hope you have cake and ice cream and lots of presents :P And a birthday dinner that doesn't include cheesy hot dogs!
Morning everyone!
K - thanks for the e-mail. I will pass it on to Travis :)
cool Lindsay!
You also have my e-mail if you or Travis want to ask any questions.
Good morning, everyone! Thank you for all the birthday wishes, too! :)
And Blue Rodeo is one of my favorite ever bands -- love Jim Cuddy's voice and their lyrics!
Hi Robin,
Happy Birthday! I hope you have a super day today!!!
Suz! How the heck are you? Missed you the last couple of days!
Hey Lindsay,

Hope everyone is well gotta go do some blog hoppn to see what everyone is up to!
Hey Suz - good to see you :)

Popping in before bed to wish you a very Happy First Birthday, Robin! And unlike most 1 year old - hope you remember the day! Lots of hugs!
Night all - have a wonderful day!
PS: Sandy - Happy Homecoming to C this evening!
Night Kaytie!
Hey Kristin,
I had a ball with him but I don't have kids so it was eye opening how much they need at that age, every three or four hours it is something.lol I don't mean that in a bad way what so ever, just a fact. I know you all are shaking your heads yes.
How was the live stock show ( I know I am late to the party on that one)
Livestock show was fun! Beautiful day but LM got cranky b/c of missing his nap. I have a blog post about it with pics :)
See, I should have just headed to your blog :P, gonna go visit now. I will be back later if work is not too busy.
have fun today ladies!!

No worries suz!
and if you think an 8 month old is hard work - wait until they start moving on their own - yikes!
Have a good day at work!
Suz - I totally forgot about your houseguest! I'm self-absorbed ::slaps forehead::
Okay, running to take the kids to school. I'll check in later!
Happy Birthday, Robin!!
Hi everyone!
Hey Corinne!
How are you? How are your grandparents?
Hi Kristin!
I'm fine, aside from the fact that my sister drives like a crazy person and speed limitations are just a vague concept to her ;)
My grandparents are ok. My grandmother is not doing very well right now because the drug trial she is on is helping with her MDS but has tons of side-effects.
Thanks for asking! How are you?
Hey guys.. UGH. I'm so not myself right now, and having some friend issues.
I have absolutely no empathy for people complaining about how unfair there life is. I'm so. Sorry. That life didn't hand you the worlds most perfect hand, from where I'm sitting the person I'm speaking of is healthy, has a new home, a loving husband, yes she has some debt but nothing she can't pay for. Of course she can't run off and go to ireland, because she has bills. I'm sorry if it's to bad to say it but. WELCOME TO REALITY..
I'm not even sure the point of this post, besides to try and see what you guys think. I woke up nauseous and in pain...
And she comes on complaining about a not so pleasant person in her family getting a job. I just, felt no real pity. Yes I'm sorry that it happened but.. from where I'm standing this is life. It's not fair. It's not right. But it's the way the world works, sometimes bad people get good things, like tons of blog money a month for being a child exploiter, like the realistic chance to live to age 30.. like a job.
SOrry, rant over, I really pissed my friend off by telling her "that's life, I'm sorry, it's not fair."
Sorry for rambling.
doing well Corinne - just tired.
Trying to find a sitter for Saturday for LM b/c I have another baby shower.
hmmm...wonder what my bil is doing? lol :)
sorry to hear about your grandma :(
Oh Kay - that sucks - she should have a little more compassion than to bitch about going to Ireland when you are struggling each and every day.
Feel free to vent and bitch and moan! We are here.
She should be greatful to have what she has and to even *think about going to Ireland.
and yes, good things happen to bad people. It's the way of the world.
I know you don't want hugs but I really do want to hug you and wish I could take away your pain.
I am so sorry that she is so insensitive.
I guess I do have to say that it's not like.. I am being purposely rude, I just.. I'm not connecting well with this person. After recent events with her, I have a hard time feeling anything for her. She has done some really mean, rude, heartless things to me. Then expected me to hug her the next day. In the last few days I found out she had been making up little lies about me and telling them to a mutual friend, things easily disproven and laughable at best. SO when she came on today expecting me to sympathize with her, I just couldn't.
Also when you purposely kick someone out of your little 'club' without so much as warning *cough Won* and then pull the "it's nothing personal just the other members didn't feel comfortable.. blah blah blah" and then YOU talk to the other members of a club and they're suprised you where kicked out. You soon figure out the person who really has a problem with you, is not everyone else. Leaders of groups seem to try and manipulate things to look like the will of the group, when really it's just them.
((hugs)) kristin. You can hug me, I'm just.. lost. People make no sense to me, be someones friend for 5 years and then without so much as a warning kick them from a group they adore? BAN them even, and then two days later expect you to hug them, and listen to the bitch about there SIL?
Kristin- LOL @ your BIL babysitting ;)
Kay- I'm sorry this "friend" of yours is being so whiny when you are dealing with much, much worse than she is. That sucks when people are not considerate :( (((hugs)))
I get you Kay!
and I agree totally!
I am sorry that your friend (or non-friend) is like that - and I do know about people wanting to kiss and make up - acting like nothing happened - when indeed it did and your feelings were hurt - own up - and then I might forgive you - ya know?
well if you ever want to e-mail me - its klgseaaggie75 (at) gmail - I'm here to listen.
{{{HUGS}}}
Sorry you are lost.
Morning ladies hope everyone is having a good day for the most part :)
Happy birthday Robin....I get to follow right behind you lady with my b-day being on Friday...WOOOT WOOOT TO THE ARIES LOL
Kay I so wish you were closer in location. So often I just want to come over and sit next to you and just let you vocalize and get everything out and then give you a big hug and find something fun for us to do.
LFoB- Sorry to hear about your friend. There are obviously worst things in life then not being able to go to Ireland when you want.
How are you feeling? Is there an end in sight to what you have, btw? I was googling it and meant to ask, but forgot. Is treatment working? Ignore me if I am being too nosy.
Kristin- Thanks, I just with she'd own up that what she did to me was wrong. That being a coward who hides behind 'the group' instead of owning up to your own problems with a person, make you a bad friend (at best).
Shannon- I wish you could too, I really need someone to just talk to me sometimes. And I'd talk to my family, but they're so taxed already. It's hard for me to add to there worry about me, we have enough of that.
Taiya- it's a two part answer, I have cocci meningitis, and I've not responded consistenly to treatment. We're using amphotericin and voriconazole atm. The main issue is we can't seem to get me off the ampho, and long term amphotericin will destroy your renal function. It's a race, between how long I can keep my kidney (I sadly just have one) can keep functioning/if we can destroy enough of the fungus to back of amphotericin.
Treatment is working, but it's hard to get me to therapautic levels of the drugs without seeing my labs go south, my creatinine tends to be the first indicator. Also I do not tolerate ampho very well, it makes me very sick. (The drug is satan in a vial)
As far as an end, best case, best best case is we get me to where I'm just on voriconazole and I'll need some form of 'azole' antifungal for life. I may need 'maintnance' doses of ampho for life, to help control the spread. Long term, I'm not supposed to survive 5 years. Most tend to have an initial recovery, a relapse and go down hill fast after that.
How I'm feeling, shitty. I'm in lots of pain, despite very good pain killers. Mostly? My head hurts. All the time. I live with this constant dull ache, that will like a wave get a lot worse and I just want a nice hammer to stop it >.<. I don't eat much, because I vomit a lot of what I eat up.But? Other hand. I am the most loved person on earth, my family, they adore me. They love me so much, and take such good care of me, I am so blessed to have them. Somedays, I feel like the luckiest person alive.. isn't that strange? And I wonder who else in the world has the chance to love this much.
Wow.. so that's a mouth full. Hope you got the info you where looking for.
Quote of the day "You can love someone with all your heart, for all the right reasons and in a moment they can choose to walk away. Love them anyway.
LFoB- wow! I didn't get all of that from google, but that is why I wanted to ask. That sounds positively horrible!
**HUGS**
Kay - I love how you just spoke about your family, and you are right, that in and of itself makes you very lucky. Doesn't take away the pain and fear of your illness, but I think it's amazing you are able to categorize the two things separately and recognize them each for what they are.
Shannon - ::exchanges Aries headbutts with you:::
Kay-
I am so glad that your family is there and so very supportive and I love the way that you talk about them. You are a lucky person and I am glad that you appreciate that.
Like Robin said, it doesn't take away your pain though or your fear.
LFoB sending hugs to you.
Another Aries in the house!
when is your birthday sandy?
April 17th.
cool - my sis's is in April too, as is my grandma's.
LFoB- I'm so glad you have your family to support you through that. And, again, (((hugs))) to you.
OT- For all those interested, here's an article that will give you an idea of the European thoughts over the American health care bill:

:::headbutts Sandy, Kristin's sister and Kristin's grandma:::
Suddenly I am understanding more why this is such a rowdy bunch :) Lots of strong minded signs going on up in here.
It is funny too because my husband is a Leo as is my son and with me being an Aries we are supposed to either get along supremely or hate each other. I notice that in a house that is full of water signs we get along the best LOL
"Thanks, I just with she'd own up that what she did to me was wrong. That being a coward who hides behind 'the group' instead of owning up to your own problems with a person, make you a bad friend (at best)."
hmmmm.....i KNOW exactly how you feel.
My MIL is an Aries too. Probably why we are at each others throats!
Well Sandy that and she is a bitch LOL
Checking in before running out...Kay, your "friend" is thoughtless, at best. No real friend, at worst. Sure, she's got issues that are small compared to yours but I get that she can't feel things in her own life in relation to someone else's (yours) and so hers seem big to her even when they really aren't. But she can and *should preface any complaints to you with an acknowledgment that she knows hers pale in comparison and call them what they are...whines. And excluding a "friend" from a group with no explanation is just mean.
That all said, I love how you talk about your family and I suspect they are every bit as lucky to have you as you are to have them. :-)
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday dear Robin,
Happy Birthday to you!!!
Hope it's a great day:)
Kay, I 'm sorry your "friend" isn't being the friend she should be...but it's so good to have family like that. That I am envious of.
I see my off-key singing ran everybody off.
lol Christy - no, I was putting my dishes up...something others here at work seem not to be able to do.
I'm here, Christy, and I appreciate your song very much. ::nods and taps foot in rhythm:::
I have to be nice to my MIL for a while. AH somehow managed to get money out of her. It's enough to payoff ALL of our credit cards! I know there will be strings attached. We are officially debt-free except for our mortgage.
Sandy - AWE.SOME! You can do it - it'll be hard, but you can do it :)
LFoB - I am so very sorry for your physical pain and your heartache right now. You are so blessed though to have a family like yours, though.
That is awesome Sandy! Doing a debt free dance for ya!
Sorry if this is repeat, but my comment seems to have gotten eaten.
Sandy -- that's great about being debt-free. Such a load off and will help relieve some stress, no doubt.
I do know what you mean about strings attached, though. My ex-FIL never did *anything helpful or 'nice' that didn't have strings attached. He'd do things like one time there was this stupid cowboy hat that Travis really wanted but we could not afford it, so his dad went out and bought it, but only "half" of it, telling Travis he owed him for the other half. Well, we couldn't afford it, or we would have bought it to begin with, and it was at that time a lot of money for us (the hat was over $300) and so we just weren't able to pay the other half. Our anniversary rolls around, which was always a big deal since we never celebrated anything else, and there was ...no gift. Gary (my ex-FIL) explained to me that the half a hat was Travis's gift, but since he hadn't ever paid for the other half they were "unable" (which is bullshit -- they are very, very well off) to get me one. Things like that.
Another time, maybe just the year or so before I left there was a painting they knew I wanted, so they went and bought it for our anniversary, but again, only 'half' and we had to pay for the other half. If you only want to spend X dollars on a gift, then just spend that. Or if you want to *ask someone if they'd like to split the cost of something as a gift, then do that. Don't just do it and hold it over their heads.
Anyway. Enough of that. Don't mean to be a Bitchy Barbie today. :-D
Going to run into town to shop for a gift and grab some groceries -- the sun is out and it's absolutely gorgeous. Plus, I just saw a robin, so I think I can safely assume that spring is mostly here, anyway.
Bye BB!
Sandy that's great news about the money.
SW - A girlfriend showed me the greatest thing and I thought of you. Have you been to crackberry.com? If not, you should go. There's lots of tutorials, free ringtones, and a trackball was advertised for $9.95 :) I do what I can to keep you in your brick breaker habit!
RiM, it will get rubbed in my face, not husband's. I will be the irresponsible person with cash. She will accuse me at some point of withholding the kids from her. The list of what will happen goes on and on. I will take whatever she throws my way with a grain of salt.
Oh, god, Sandy, I am so, so sorry. I know it's easy to say you're going to just take it with a grain of salt, and most days you can, but every once in awhile, it's just too much. I'm sorry.
Okay, I'm not kidding this time - I am out of here for a bit!
Sandy - that sucks. Glad you can take it with a grain of salt. If I were you I would just direct all her phone calls to the hubby. :)
