I wanna thank everyone for their encouraging comments and prayers with regard to this post.
If you read the previous post, you might realize I've been a bit moody. Auntie has taken her sweet time getting here this month for some reason. I guess she's been busy hassling some other poor soul and it made her late for her appointment with me.
One would think maybe that'd be a good thing as maybe it'd mean she's all tired out, right? Well, so far, um. NO. That's not been the case. Matter of fact, she's been unusually grouchy and demanding. I'm ready to toss her out on her nasty, hateful behind right now....and she just showed up yesterday! Sheesh!
So...anyhow, it's pretty obvious that the post referenced above was a little hormone-driven. Even though, yes, I admit...all the stuff I wrote about is happening. We are going through a really bumpy stretch right now.
But it's not like we've never seen a gravel road before, ya know? It's just that this has been one of those very long bumpy roads with lots of pot holes and overgrown trees hanging down to block the view ahead. One of those roads that, perhaps on a cool, carefree afternoon, maybe on horserback, would be an enjoyable ride...but in a frantic, stressed dash in a 10yo SUV? Um, it's not a nice ride at all. Heh.
Anyway....I just wanted to let you know, I appreciate the prayers and the concern. I just love you guys for being there for me this way. I really don't have another soul on earth that I can share this with so it makes me very grateful for my internet friends. You can't imagine how thankful I am for you all.
Tommy had to go up to the hospital early this morning to be with his mom while his dad was taken into surgery. He'd been up there all night and finally got a diagnosis of appendicitis. He came through fine, there was no rupture which was miraculous considering how much inflammation there was. Anyhow, T came home a bit ago to change for work. He asked me what we were going to do for tomorrow.
I have absolutely no clue. I never have any say so in that kind of thing, ya know? I just have no clue. We really aren't gonna have the funds (I don't think) for a night away...and really...going out to eat just doesn't sound appealing to me, at least not right now, at all....so what does one do? Maybe I'll see if there's anything decent on at the movies? I can't think of ANYthing.
Mostly, I guess, cuz I'm not feeling up to anything today. Flo's a real bear, ya know? I'm light-headed every time I stand up or move around, etc., etc.... I think we have agreed to put off any "celebration" until the weekend, so maybe I'll feel better and can come up with something decent to do by then...but with limited funds AND limited entertainment choices around here....??? I just dunno. I've been so out of the "go do something" mood for so long...I have NO CLUE!!! Is that not saaad?!?! *sigh*
Okay...so you're updated now. LOL!
I gotta go. Need to go pull some weeds from around my sunflowers so they don't get cut down with a weedeater! Then? Maybe I'll go sit by the pool while Case swims. Maybe. ?? We'll see.
Love yas....

(((G))) Hopefully AF will get her act together. Me? I'm so ready for "the change" I think I shall welcome it with open arms! Oh, and a very large bottle of black cohosh! lol
D's been looking into cabins for our 25th anniversary in Sept. The ones at the falls are $94 A NIGHT!! gasp! so much for that! guess we're going to have to go farther out in the woods! hahaha
No anniversary suggestions for you. A cabin in the woods was all we could come up with. Now that's looking too expensive, too. I'm with you, there is nothing good around her to do. sigh
Let me know if you come up with something good. I may be a copycat. meow

I was just thinking how the hubby and I could use some good "alone time" - other than just the bedroom thing!
It doesn't necessarily have to cost a bunch of money either. I'm not much for restaurants or movies. Maybe just take a drive? Have a picnic? Someplace where you can just talk? Window shop? Tell Auntie Flo to make other plans!

I found this.

I have NO idea how i came up w/something from OH, but Linda, since you guys have travel there quite a bit, maybe that's not such a stretch...ready kid-keepers there & all.. heh...
Anyhow...it DOES have some good ideas. Some simple and quick 'spend time alone together' ideas.
No necessarily for an anniversary, L, but Abby, more for what you may be thinking...just some things to do to get back in touch w/each other.
(I'm printing it out. ;)
