Hi all,
I had a long morning.I went in to work at six.Was sent home by 8:30.
Got home and layed back down.D21 woke me up about a half hours later.Had a splitting headache.Not like anything she has ever had.So we went to the hospital.
Her Magnessium was real low.So they gave her a IV of it.He blood sugar was low so they gave her two bags of IV and told her to stop pigging out and then not eating for long periods.To eat 6 small meals at once.
She had gotten up at 6 this morning and eaten 3 cold peices of pizza.They said she raised her blood sugar and then it dropped.
So when she finally gets that medicade and see's a Dr they are going to have to watch that.She is hypoglosimic.(extra points if I spelled that right)
This being a Grandma thing is not as easy as I thought it was going to be.And the baby isn't even here yet.Still due christmas day.
My apartment is starting to feel so small.My best friend offered to rent a room for D21.She lives in a huge house with 4 bedrooms.That may work for a while.And give me a break.LOL
Well I have things to do.My apartment is so messy.And no one is home.

Hi there Bridget,
Haven't "talked" to you in a long time...
Your daughter needs to take care of herself now. I remember with the twins is was so hard to eat at all because I had the most horrible heartburn you could imagine. Had it with the other two and I thought that was bad, but the twins were bumping up against my esophagus (now I need points) and it was tough to eat anything. Maybe thats why I had 14 1/2 pounds of babies and only gained 20 pounds.
So she needs to get off the pizza and give you a break. It might not be a bad idea to give you a break for a while and let her stay with your house endowed friend. Maybe you could get some sleep. Because you need to take care of Bridget too.
D21 has no problem eating.In fact she eats to much at once.Then gets full and sleeps for hours.
I have been trying to get her to go for a walk.She has already put on 15 pounds.She always needed to put on a few.But now is not the time to do that.I keep telling her she shouldn't put on to much since it won't come off as easy.I want to gain the healthy 30 to 35 pounds.But when I'm not here she eats huge amounts.I'm going to stop buying junk food.
Not much going on here.I had a date tonight.But I'm tired so I canceled.We plan on going on a Sun Cruz tomorrow night and play some poker and slots.
I'm going to bed early tonight.I need a good nights sleep.

My date just canceled.But it's all good.I had a backup plan.
I'm going out to shoot some pool.I don't work tomorrow and the sitter had already come and got D13.We were suppose to go on a gambling cruise.In fact we were suppose to leave about a hour ago.He canceled a half hour ago.
Bummer!! He just don't know about me.This is the second time he has canceled.Plus I canceled last night.
I'm thinking we are just not that into each other.Nice lookin man.But hey good lookin ones are a dime a dozen.Good looking men with manners are rare.
Hope everyone has a good weekend.I know I will.LOL

Hi all,
How is everyone?Me I'm good.
Still have moody pregnant 21 living with me.She will be 22 on the 29th.Wow they grow up fast.This one faster than I wanted.But well she is grown.Not much I can do about it.She still hasn't found a job.I don't think she will find one since she is showing big time.Gotta admit that belly is cute as all get out.
D13 mood swings have swung to the happy side.That God for that.
S18 still living with me.Gives me most of his paycheck.I try to turn it down since he is saving for a car.But he told me that with D21 in the house I'm struggling.He can't sit by and let that happen when he doesn't need a car right now.His job is less than a block away.I did good with that one.
Job is about the same.I have gotten some managment classes in.I have no plans to become a manager.But this will be good when it is time for a pay raise.
I have decided to let my date from last weekend have another chance.But I did tell him if he cancels again don't ask me again.LOL
We are going to go on a casino cruise this friday.That is if he doesn't cancel.LOL
Thats about it.Exciting huh?

Hey Briget:
Sounds like you've got your hands full. Gotta be a lot of estrogen in your house!
Your son sounds like a peach. What a guy. To put up with a moody teen and a pregnant sis, contribute financially - you've done really well with him.
Yeah, see how your date goes this week. It does sound like fun. If he doesn't meet your expectations just say...
NEXT!
Barb
Hi Brigit!
Good on the boundary thing with the date. I hope he follows through this time. The casino cruise thing sounds like fun.
And your son is awesome!
Hi all,
Well my date wsa wonderful.Ok a little background on this one.I'm still suprised about it.
He is my co-captain for my pool league.About three years ago he joined my team.I had known him about a year before that.So I have known him for quit a while.
Every Monday he picks me up and takes me to the pool hall.We always talk and laugh on the way there.Just never saw him that way.Just friends.Very good friends.He is a smart,funny and very nice guy.Good lookin to.In his own way.LOL
Well about two weeks ago (was it) I went out on a date with the guy who took me to a really gross dive bar.I was not impressed.
That following monday I was joking with league guy (thats what I will call him)about my date.The guy came over to ask me if I wanted to go out.League guy kind of postioned himself in between us and just started talking rambling nonsense.lol The guy gave up and I haven't heard from him since.lol
At the end of the night he asked me out.He has never done that.We have gone out as friends.But not as a real date.
I told him I didn't want to change our friendship.That I would go if we made sure we didn't change our friendshio. Two canceled dates on his and one on mine we went out last night to the casino boat.(I'm down 20 bucks) Had a good time.And he has a really good sense of humor.Cause my sister who is a prankster got wind of our date and pulled a good one.Just to let you know if you can come up with a good prank I'm all ears.
She gathered every family member she could get of ours and went on the cruise.They dressed is very outlandish outfits.And came up to us while we were out to sea already.No running.Although I thought I was going to jump overboard.lol
League guy thought this was funny as all getout.Could not stop laughing.Said I had a nice family.lol
They even brought S18 who had a good time just going from slot machine to slot machine trying to win.
O yeah and I slept with him.I think our friendship has changed.Opps.He kissed me and that was it.I just let go.I didn't expect this.And I don't know how I feel.What if this blows up in my face?Or worse turns out to be wonderful.I don't know which is worse.
So that's it.

Ummm Briget...
I thought you wanted to stay friends. Sometimes you need to show a little more restraint. Sometimes it is better when you wait a little longer. OK, that said...
I hope you are happy and have no regrets. Sounds like you had a good time.
Barb
Wow three days since I posted.A lot has happened since then.
Barb,No regrets.Not one.So far this has turned out to be wonderful.He really is a great guy.I'm still a bit gun shy.But so far so good.It feels good that we were friends first.
I don't think that I said that I wanted to just stay friend.I just don't want to lose the friendship.That comes first.He is one of the few rare people who will call me to the carpet when I really need it.He pulls no punches.But somehow does it in a way that doesn't hurt.If you asked me who I count as a close friend I would have named him as one of my top five.
I didn't think he was interested in me.We are so different.But we like the same things.We have different backgrounds.But have some similarities.(sp).
He was born in Korea.But was adopted and raised by an american family.I was raised in foster homes.I know it is not the same.But yet it sort of feels like a common bond.
We like the same things.He understands that I'm not a girly girl.I don't wear dresses.(I love how I look in them.)I love to play games that most woman only kind of sort of like.I'm competitive.I love to win.He has never let me win at anything.I have to win because I was better.I like that.
I think I could ramble on about him.But I won't.lol
I know this has changed things.But for once I'm going to take a flippin chance.He just may be the first one that is truely worth it that has come alone in a long time.
Wish me luck.or at least common sense enough to ruin a good friendship.

Hope you meant "NOT ruin a good friendship." But yes, best of luck in this new adventure!
lol yeah I meant NOT ruin a good friendship.
Oh, I am so happy this date went better for you, Brigit. A lot better from what I am reading here.
Sounds like a decent man and I think it's great to start out as friends.
I think it is great to start out as friends to.But yet I'm still kind of scared.
I know it is silly.But what if I'm just not the kind of woman who is able to keep a man? What if this just ruins the friendship?
To many what if's.
I really care more about this friendship.
Not the kind of woman to "keep a man?!"
Hon, remember that WASs leave for many more of their own reasons that what we do or don't do. You've been at this a long time, you've learned, grown, and changed. You have a solid idea of what you want and how to ask for and meet others' needs. Don't start off with such a negative self-image!
Its ok to be nervous, but he sounds like someone that you can TALK to about those feelings--just keep talking.
Not silly at all. I think we all carry around some doubt in the wake of what happened in our marriages.
You know before the "bomb" no one would have ever known I had any kind of self doubt.And that would have included me.I hate that I feel this way.
I guess it is natural.But damn it I don't like it.How do I change that?
I can tell myself that I'm worth it.But that's not the same as knowing and feeling it.
well, list it out.
All the good points about you.
what you are willing to put into a R.
what you would require out of a R. I think there is a thread just started by SG--what next?
Even what you are still working on--how boring would we be if we were perfect?
And ask your kids! They know that you are worth it, worth someone trying really hard for, working to impress you, grow with you, etc.
We've all been willing to sell ourselves short while we were trying to save a past M...don't start off another R in the same position. I've read that in a broad sense, men tend to value respect above love....and they respect someone who knows what they want.
I have a list of what I want.I should have a list of what I'm willing to give.Kinda seems fair trade.
I also have a list of my "assets".I have been using that as a form of self love.It just hasn't sunk in yet.I'm working on knowing my worth.
I have the basic list one would list.
I'm smart
I'm funny
I'm kind
I'm caring
I'm giving
Ect....
But to list everything is hard.It's kind of hard to list the sum of who you are when you don't really know who you are.
I thought I was just a wife and mother.But JUST is such a small word to use with such big words as Wife and Mother.
But as big as those words are they are not all of me.I'm more.But what is the more.
I just realized that I think I have been spelling Briget wrong all over the place tonight. Sorry about that.
LOL I never notice that any more.I think my momma was still on pain meds.when she signed my birth cert.
Either way it sounds the same.

My C put it like this for me "Cat03 doesnt' need a man's approval, speciall stbx's approval to feel worthy" That man does not complete me, at one point I did think so, but due to the fact he's betrayed and lied to me I am not part of that man's life anymore. I'm not all 100% there (but pretty close) about healing my self esteem, but it's a work that takes time.
Hi all,
Wow what a downer I was the other night.Well I'm back to my happy self today.Had a good day.Worked all day.But my boss let me off easy.I have somehow hurt my ankel.It's swollen a little bit.And has this weird tingling thing going on.
Maybe I twisted it.When I'm not at work or home I'm usually in high heels.Cause I'm short and don't want to learn how to hem my pants.lol
I prob.twisted it without paying attention.lol
League guy and I are doing good.We are still friends.But we have decided to just see where this goes.We have an agreement.We will respect the others right to change their minds as long as we are respectful in how we do it.
Kids are ok.D21 is getting big.And if their is something yummy in the house you have to hide it from her.lol We used to just put our names on it if we wanted it.Right now she can't read.lol
D13 is not happy.She goes tuesday for some shots.D13 does not like shots.D13 has no choice.lol She is getting the hpv shot.I heard it is nasty shot.I haven't decided if i should tell her its a biggie or just let her find out on her own.
S23 liked to watch when he got shots.Boys are weird.lol
S18 has a date Sat.He works so much he hasn't been on a date for about a year.I didn't even know he was talking to a girl.About damn time he did something fun.
So thats it for now.Not much going on.Just the same ol stuff.Staying off my feet tonight.D13 is having cereal for dinner.
I guess I don't get to go dancing tomorrow.O well I'm not good at it anyway.

Hi all,
Hi Karen,Yes we will be going on more dates.We were going to go dancing tonight.But the ankle is worse.I woke up this morning with fluid all around the ankle bone.And it is doing this really weird thing.When I touch it it send this nerve thingy down to my pinky toe.Kind of like when you hit your funny bone.Very strange.But I'm strange.So it matches.lol
I have tomorrow off so I'm gonna just stay off of it all day tomorrow.I might soak it in some epstsom salt.lol How old am I?I'm now soaking my feet.That's what my mom does.
Trip,
I'm doing good.I'm feeling better today than usual.I'm not so tired today.I got a good nights rest last night.That always helps.
I'm fixin to take a nap.I may not be able to dance.But darn it I'm going out somewhere tonight and have a good time.D22 I keep forgeting she had her birthday on the 29th.Is staying in with D13.They plan on making brownies and watching a movie.
D22 hasn't been sleeping.The baby seems to like her left side.That is the side D22 has always slept on.lol
We were looking up baby stuff online yesterday.My grandbaby is the size of a bell pepper.
I can't wait for this baby to get here.I'm just so excited.She thinks it is a girl.But I think it is a boy.Who knows.It could be twins.lol Then we could both be right.
Well off to take a nap.It is raining again.Nice nap weather.I think the weatherman said it has been ten days in a row we have gotten rain.It sure feels like it.

The place where I shot pool and a live band.This one was not good at all.It sounded like they were playing the same song over and over.Just changed the words.lol
I had a good day to day.I got up fairly early for a saturday.I did laundry.Cleaned the bathrooms.And mopped the kitchen floor.I cleaned my bedroom.It was getting pretty messy.I have sort of become a messy person.Gotta keep that in check.
I made a roast for dinner.That way I have leftovers for tomorrow.I'm so smart.lol
I plan on going to bed early since I have to be at work by 6 in the morning.Sundays always feel like the beginning of the week for me since that is the first day I start work for the week.

Hi there Briget,
It it were twins, she'd know. Because they'd get on both sides and prevent her from sleeping on EITHER side. Plus, her belly would look as if aliens had attacked. Oh, and she wouldn't be able to eat because of the heartburn. I think they got the idea of lap band surgery from twin pregnancies! They squish everything.
Oh the memories. Jack was about 8 pounds and Jake about 7. And they took them a few weeks early.
I know you were kidding about that though. It brought back memories for me.
I hope your ankle feels better. I severely sprained mine over 20 years ago and it still hurts when it rains. If it doesn't get better Brig, you may want to have it X-rayed.
Wow Happy
You had big twins didnt you?? B''s grandkids (twins) were barely 4 and 5 lbs!
Did you figure out how you hurt your ankle?
like Happy , sprained mine pretty good 9 yrs ago and still have probs. Hope yours feels better soon!
Wow that is 15 pounds of baby.lol I was so uncomfortable with just one.I don't know how you did it.
I still haven't figured out how I hurt it.I'm pretty sure I didn't twist it.You would think I would remember that.
I sprained the other ankle years ago and don't have any problems with it now.The weird tingling this is well weird.Kind of like when you hit your funny bone.And just like when you hit your funny bone this is not funny.
I may end getting an apointment with the Dr. for tuesday when I take D13 in for her shots.

Hi all,
Well the ankle is better.The weird tingly things is going away.It doesn't hurt so much now.
But now my hip hurts.LOL Yeah my birthday is on the 18th.I'm turning 44.And I feel every minute of it.LOL I'm getting old.
Not much going on here.D13 didn't get her shots cause she started her period.And she didnt want to go.So we have an appointment for next tuesday.He Dr.is a woman so she understood.D13 is growing up.And she is not liking it right now.
Some man whistled at her the other day.A full grown man.She was so mad.I tracked him down and told him to not do that again.He lives in my apartment complex.I told him that I would call the police if he did it again.
S18 heard about it and had a different conversation with him.LOL No he didn't hit the man.But lets just say the fear of God was put into him.
This is the second time that she has had someone cat call her.She is dressed normally.Nothing sexy in her dress.She looks like a kid.But she is a very pretty girl.And she is very tall for her age.I'm not sure if they just can't tell.Or if they don't care.
I hate that because she is so tall that she doesn't get a chance to become comfortable with her new body before she has to deal with that.
Not much else going on.I'm taking three days off for my birthday.I'm so excited.My best friend has something planned for me.She won't tell me what it is.One year she took me to see male strippers.God they were aweful.At that time I hadn't seen a naked man in 22 months.I was disappointed.Thats how bad.
I would rather go listen to a really great band and dance.Hope my hip is better.LOL

Sounds like life is rolling along for ya. Hope the hip feels better soon; might be you threw yourself out of alignment, limping on the bad ankle. I went to a physical therapist who realigned things with exercise...maybe they have some posted on the web? I remember lying flat on my back, then rotating my legs (knees bent up, feet flat on the floor), side to side....

If I tried that my leg would pop off.LOL
Hip is feeling better.I think tomorrow I will be good as new.I kind of have been babying myself today.I took a two hour nap today.

Played league last night.I won my game.Yea Me!! I played awesome.Kind of got accused of sandbaging.LOL Cause for a while I have been losing.Have gone down in rank.Well I played really well last night.Won my first game with just two innings.
LG and I have been talking.No sex until last night.Well not really sex more like making out like teenagers.I'm really enjoying this now that we have slowed down.No reason to rush thing so much.
But I have a small problem.And I feel like an ass for having this issue.
He is really small.(yes thats what I mean) I would say maybe 4 inches.He is really good at other things.But you can tell he feels uncomfortable with his size.He hasn't said anything and of course I wouldn't.It doesn't bother me.He has skills with "other things"
What bothers me is that he is uncomfortable taking his clothes off.Gotta say I haven't seen him fully undressed.I don't quit know how to let him know this doesn't bother me as much as he thinks it does.I know this is one of those touchy subject with men.I really like this guy and well it just doesn't matter.
I have a feeling that his ex wife was cruel to him when they divorced.And maybe used that to hurt him.
So how do I handle this with care.

Good advice, Beth. Much better than my thought to call it "cute."
Of course it's not a deal breaker.But if I can't get the man to take his pants off all the way that's a dealbreaker.
Maybe he thinks his legs are ugly.

remember the saying about motion of the ocean or something
Maybe hes just shy period. You will know soon enough.

That's what they're called.

Yup just like a litte candy bar.lol
Ok I'm gonna be good now.lol
Obviously, you are not the first person he's been with so I am sure he knows how to handle himself. He's probably just a little unsure the first few times of being with someone new.
Good luck with everything.
Trip,
I'm sure your right.But I haven't been with a lot of men and well this is a new one for me.
And I have never been able to keep my feelings to myself.I just hope this time I can.I really would hate to hurt him.He is just so sweet.I would hate to think that I could hurt his feelings.He has this kindness about him.
I'm more worried that I may say something that would hurt him.Maybe I"m overthinking things.I'm not usually cruel.What makes me think I would start now.
Well I'm heading to bed.I have to get up early.

Having absolutely no issues with this range of the 'size' spectrum - ahem, ahem - that length of 4 inches is surprising. According to a solid science source - Wikipedia
- the average penis length, measured fully erect and parallel to the floor (hardwood, linoleum, or tile; not plush carpeting), is about 5.1 to 5.9 inches, with 95 % of men falling b/t 4.23 and 7.53 inches.
I'd wonder about the following:
1) Did he have a George Castanza moment with you, with you taking a gander after he left a frigid swimming pool or bath (remember shrinkage)
2) Do you understand the difference b/t "limp" and "erect" ? According to the experts, limp penises are smaller
3) Maybe s/t medical is going on. As he's below the lower extreme, I'd ask him about the most recent full physical exam he's had. Circulation, BP issues, current meds can affect his arousal and perhaps contribute to erectile issues.
4) If that's his natural size, is that truly enough for you? Its okay to be somewhat superficial on some things. Its your life, so you get to pick and choose as you wish. If you'd prefer a guy hung like a horse, whose to judge you? Seriously.
Take care,

You know, at first I was going to challenge your statistics, but since you cite Wikipedia as your source, I know that it must be 100% accurate! 95% of men huh?? Darn, WIKI is good! How do they do it?
I'd wonder about the following:
1) Did he have a George Castanza moment with you, with you taking a gander after he left a frigid swimming pool or bath (remember shrinkage)
My absolute favorite episode. Well that and Master of My domain!
2) Do you understand the difference b/t "limp" and "erect" ? According to the experts, limp penises are smaller
Brig how many kids have you had? She had better know the difference by now!
3) Maybe s/t medical is going on. As he's below the lower extreme, I'd ask him about the most recent full physical exam he's had. Circulation, BP issues, current meds can affect his arousal and perhaps contribute to erectile issues.
Yes but how is she going to bring this up without making him self conscious?
4) If that's his natural size, is that truly enough for you? Its okay to be somewhat superficial on some things. Its your life, so you get to pick and choose as you wish. If you'd prefer a guy hung like a horse, whose to judge you? Seriously.
Brig, we can pick and choose!!!! Shoot nobody ever told me that. Let's have a line up! OK, I go first.......
FL,
LOL
Nope no George moment.Had just come from being outside.And you know how hot it has been.
I have seen a few of them.Know the difference.LOL I have had five kids.LOL
I'm pretty sure he has no medical issues.He takes really good care of himself.
Yes it is his natural size.And while yes it would be nice if "it" was bigger.It is not a dealbreaker.This man is really a good man.I have known him for years.
Beth if we are going to line them up to pick and choose I'm going first.

Ok then. How about if we just take turns playing good cop/bad cop with them. You know, you can be the good cop who goes out of the room while I interrogate.
Hows that gonna work for me?
Hey Briget!!!!
I have not been here in months and just wanted to say hope you had a
Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!
It was your birthday Brig???
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Hey Pam!
write me
Thank you Pam,
I didn't have a great Birthday.It was just another day.I took three days off.Kinda reminded everyone.But I didn't even get a card.
Today was kinda sad.I'm tired,loney,and don't really special to anyone right now.
I miss my old life where I felt like someone.

Oh Briget,
I'm so sorry your birthday wasn't good. Sometimes others just get so distracted that they forget. Daughters and girlfriends are supposed to take care of that though.
But I'm here to sing...
"Happy Birthday to You,
Happy Birthday to You,
Happy Birthday dear Briget
Happy Birthday to YOU!"
You are special. You are fun! You have a great sense of humour. And we love you!
Barb
Thank you Barb,
And everyone who sent me Birthday wishes.It sure did help me get over it.lol
Now I'm over all this weather.Hurricaine Fay go away!!!!
We have had lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of rain.It's windy and raining out.A lot of people are out of power.I still have mine.But I'm sure by the time morning comes I will be without also.I sure hope not.But then again if we lost power I don't have to got work.
I have to be in to work by 6 in the morning.Unless we lose power at the store.I live right across the street form work and if I lose power then work will to.
I think it is a really bad idea to leave the safety of my house to go out into the storm to earn 7 flippin bucks a hour.So I may not go in.I kind of afraid to leave my dog to go to work.
The really bad weather will be tonight.I'm kinda of nervous.But I'm prepared.So I will be alright.
I will check in if I dont lose power often tonight.Since I'm stuck in the house with nothing to do.

Wow I just heard on the news we are going to have 36 hours of this mess.
I'm not liking this one darn bit.
Hey Brig
Was wondering how close you were. Stay safe girl! Heck if its bad whos gonna be coming into your work anyway? People should be home where its safe, I remember tho once we had some semi disaster ,,didint keep customers away, must shop God forbid! lol
Where is the family? all home w/ you?
Stay safe Brig and let us know!
Yup I'm in the middle of it.I don't like storms and this takes the cake.
I have two of my kids here.D22 is on the other side of the bridge which is closed.She is with her new boyfriend and his mom.
S23 and S20 are out of town.
S18 is asleep in the livingroom.D13 is playing video games and I'm pacing back and forth in front of the window.Watching the news lol
I still have power.I did hear a loud pop noise outside but I couldn't see anything and I'm not going out there to see what it is.LOL
We will be fine.My apartment is on the second floor and so far no flooding in my area.
I don't understand that whole shopping thing.I don't need anything bad enough to go out in this.
We are safe so far.

Hi all,
Well we weathered the bad weather.All is ok.We had a ton of rain.We had lots of wind and rain.Flooding all over town,but not as bad as it could have been.
I lost power for about 15 to 20 minutes.But we had somewhere near 80,000 lose power over the weekend.Lots of big old trees fell all over town.What a shame.
I'm glad it is over.I even saw the sun today.But around dinner time we got a rain storm.Just what we needed.(as if)
I hope we see the sun tomorrow.I miss it.I always feel so gloomy when the weather is bad.I kinda have the blues.
This week has to be better.
I'm over the sad little birthday I had.I'm making plans for this weekend.I want to go dancing.Kick up my heels.
Have a good night.

The weather has been kinda nice.Sunny mostly with a little rain in the evenings.Kinda nice.
I am well rested.And have a lot of energy.With nothing to do.I have cleaned everything.LOL
D13 has a birthday coming up on monday.She is so excited.I told her she can have a sleep over this weekend.What was I thinking?I'm gonna have a handfull of giggling teenagers in my tiny apartment.
Can I run away?LOL
Well I'm gonna see what everyone else has been up to.Get the beer out.I'm ready for some fun.

Hi Brig!
I thought about you during that horrible storm. Your post was ringing in my ears. And I prayed for you.
So glad to hear that you weathered the storm and all is well.
Get out there. Have fun. Kick up those heels!
Barb
Its clean the house day for me today too Brig.
I'm a better cleaner then a cook so we can trade talents lol
Jill suxs at cooking too. She dosnt know how to boil an egg. Truth.
Have a terrific weekend!
Hi all,
Well I didn't go dancing.I hung out with the boys last night and shot some pool.I haven't hung out with my male friends in a while.I gotta say I miss doing that.
I had been trying to tone down that part of me.My female friends say I act like one of the boys.LOL Guess what? I have decided that I really like that part of me.And I will not be toning it down any more.
This whole idea that I have to tone down a part of me to be attractive just doesn't sit well with me.I don't like it.And I'm not doing it any more.Besides it isn't working.LOL
Today I didn't do anything fun.I did laundry,went grocery shopping,cooked a lite dinner.
Had me a long hot shower,a cold beer,and now I'm about to climb into nice crisp clean sheet.Could life get any better.Well maybe.It would be nice to have a nice smelling man under the sheets to cuddle up to.Maybe someday.LOL

Hi all,
Well I'm glad I got everything done.And that I have nice clean sheets.Cause I'm gonna be in them for a while.I woke up with the flu this morning.
I have a very sore throat,headache,and I feel like I layed down in the middle of the road and let a few trucks run me over.LOL
Boy I wish I had someone to just take care of me right now.I hate being sick.

Hi all,
Well I'm still alive.I'm just barely hanging on.I'm gonna die.
I can't breath
My throat hurts
My headache is down to a dull ache.
And I have a nice little fever.I go from hot to cold.
And I still feel like I was run over by a few trucks.
On the bright side.I called out of work today and just layed around.I always get sick when the kids go back to school.
My sister came and got D14 and did something special for her since it is her birthday.That was nice of her.And kind of risky if you ask me.D14 may not be sick right now.But she has been around me all week and well you know how that goes.
S18 is at work.So I have the house to myself.I'm usually out on monday's playing on my pool league.It's weird to be home on a monday night.There is nothing on tv.
I tried to read but it just made my head hurt.I hate being sick.
I miss having someone take care of me.Maybe someday.Man wouldn't that be wonderful.

Hi Briget!
Did you watch Two and A Half Men tonight? I don't watch it often but it was about Charlie being really sick and just wanting someone to take care of him - LOL!
But I know how you feel. We all want our "mommies" when we're sick or a really tender significant other.
Be good to yourself, Brig. You've been through a lot. Allow yourself some rest and TLC and you'll be back on top in no time.
Sending healthy thoughts your way,
Barb
I miss having someone take care of me.
H always would disappoint me and NOT take care of me, almost be annoyed when I am sick. So, now if the girls are taken care of, I am thrilled to just suffer alone!!
Sorry to hijack, but wanted to say I hope you feel better soon. I am so sorry you are so sick, its miserable. I am never more grateful for my health after recovering from some sort of funk!
Thank you.I'm feeling better.
My best friend came by and made me a nice little cure.
1 shot of whiskey
spoonful of honey
a big squirt of lemon.
I had two doses.
I'm cured!!!!!!!!
She also brought me a plate of general chicken.Ok I feel a bit better.I have an awesome friend.
I can always count on her to make it better.But I have a feeling I'm gonna feel worse in the morning.LOL

Hope you are feelin back to your old self soon!
Thank God for girlfriends! I know how much I love mine. It is a give and take thing. We're there for our friends when THEY need it and you can be sure - they're there for us as well.
I enjoy being a girl!

I enjoy being a girl to.
Yes she is a good friend.We are so close that people think we are sisters.
She is my wild side and I'm her calm side.She keeps me from becoming a boring old maid and well I just keep her out of trouble.LOL
I'm feeling so much worse today.I thought yesterday was the peak.But no this has got to be it.I hope I feel better soon.I just saw my kitchen when I got up to make a cup of tea.I'm not sure what S18 had to eat when he got off work at 2 in the morning.But he better clean it.Grrrrrr
Good thing today is my regular day off.I can't call out any more this week.I'm gonna have to go to work tomorrow no matter what.I'm only allowed 2 days in a row off without going to the Dr.I don't need a Dr.for the flu.I just need to rest.And I don't need a Dr.bill either.
Well I'm sure I will be on and off the BB today.I'm not going anywhere for a while.LOL

It does feel better to wash hair when feeling awful. At least, I have found that to be true.
Glad your fever is gone and that you are feeling better.
Have you heard from your date guy/pool playing partner?
Hi Trip,
Yeah washing my hair did make me feel better.
I hear from date guy/pool player all the time.We are really good friends.I think we are going to stay friends.I'm good with that.It would be nice if it would work out that we could be more.We still talk like we are more than friends.But we have only had one more Ummm encounter.And well that kinda hmmmm didn't go so well.
I sort of get the feeling he isn't interested in me as much as he thought he was.When he asked me out he had heard that I went on a date with someone else.And when that didn't work out he was kinda jealous.Not in a weird way.
I dont think he knew I was doing the dating thing.LOL
I'm glad we didn't ruin our friendship.We have been teammates for years.I wouldn't want to lose that.
I'm feeling so much better.I'm gonna try to eat a real meal tonight.I have not eaten much for the last few days.

Sorry that your "encounters" didn't play out that well but it's good that you can stay friends. Sounds like you both are on that same level.
Speaking of food, I need to grab a bite myself.
What are you going to have?
Anything but noodles.
I haven't thought about what I'm having for dinner.I don't feel like making anything.But I need to eat something.I'm sort of craving veggies.I could go for a giant salad.Like the kind at a salad bar.With some grilled chicken.And lots of dressing.
I had noodles.Again.I didn't feel like making anything.LOL
I'm once again feeling icky.I was feeling better after my bath.I'm sure I will be better tomorrow.I'm going to get a good nights sleep.
D22 is getting an ultra sound tomorrow.I sure hope they get a good peek.I sure would love to know if I'm having a boy or a girl grandbaby.

I don't have a fever any more.So I must be getting better.Good thing.I was starting to annoying myself with the whinning.LOL
Honey, you've got nuthin on Figgy and her whining.......
LOL
Well if Figgy is as sick as I was then she can whine as much as she wants.
Well I'm feeling better.I even cooked a real meal tonight.I made spaghetti.D14 made salad and garlic bread.We call it baby bread.One of my kids called it baby bread when he was little and it just stuck.
I worked today.Had an incident with a costomer.He claimed he gave me a 20.Well he didn't.He gave me five ones.Had to stop and have my drawer counted.He was a thug.He started yelling and screaming.We had to call the police.They took him for a nice little ride downtown.LOL
D22 will hopefully have a ultrasound tomorrow.I sure hope so.I can't wait.I want a little boy.They are so much easier.And is there anything cuter than a baby boy in overalls covered in whatever they get into?LOL
I'm so excited about this baby.I get to be the coach.She couldn't ask for a more experienced one.LOL She is going to try to have the baby natural.I did it five times.I told her I think she can do it once.But I did tell her that if she needs it then she can take it.There is no shame.
I would have taken it if I was allowed to.But when I had my kids I couldn't do it since I have a curved spine and the Dr.wouldn't let me.
D14 is going to go to the Dr.appt.with D22.I have to work and D14 wants to hear the heartbeat and see the ultrasound.I told her not to be disapointed if they don't let her.They might not let her.
Well I'm going to go to bed early since I have to be at work by 6 in the morning.I want one more good nights sleep so I can get better.

Congratulations! WOW - You are a grandmother! How does that make you feel?
I think little girls are wonderful. I wanted one forever. Took me 3 tries! It was heaven on earth the day she was born.
"Pink bows, tiny toes, rosy cheeks and dimples
If only she could stay this way, my life would be so simple"
I cross stitched that in the hospital for her room when I had her.
Aint it the truth!
Now - what will her name be? Any idea?

Hi Barbie,
That is so cute.I don't cross stitch.But if I did I would make that.
I'm so excited!!!!!
They changed the due date to the middle of Jan.O well I have to wait a few weeks longer.It already felt like a long way off.But the baby won't have a christmas birthday.It's gotta be hard having a birthday on christmas.
I can't wait.I'm so head over heels in love with this baby.I can't imagine how its going to be when she gets here.

Thats a shame.You can't pick one of those on the corner store.I love baby girls.I was looking at all the baby shoes.They are so tiny.I saw a pair of pink sneakers.I didn't get them cause I knew I would go overboard so I didn't take money with me.I'm going back to get them in a few days.
She is going to name her Dakota (sp)Storm.I like them name.But I wish she would give her a normal name and a cute nickname.Thats what I did.
I was named after Briget Bardow.I named my girls after Katherine Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor.Called them Lizzy and Katie.Katie is the pregnant one.She goes by Kat now.
I had a good night last night.We had a family birthday party.My BIL had his 40th last night.
At our family parties since we have a lot of boys in our family we wrestle.I wrestled my younger sister last night.At first I was winning.I had her pinned down for at least five minutes.But she refused to tap out.She flipped me over and I had my legs wrapped around her.I was bucking and trying to flip her back.At one point I almost had her flipped.I was holding on to the grass and pulling myself over her.But the grass gave way.I pulled a huge chunk of her yard up.Finally she had her bony elbow in my shoulder.I could feel it about to pop out of place.I had to tap out.LOL

Luckily, I don't know anyone with the same name as the last OW. Now one of his first OW's has the name Tamara. More common than this last one and I only know one person with that name but I don't see her often and she goes by Tammy.
