Wonderful, Aussie! Congrats on your 6 months!!

Been busy here. Just seems like there's always something going on lately. These dang KIDS! lol Soccer game tonight at 9:30 and then tomorrow morning at 9:00. Wth?! Don't people sleep?! The oldest competed in a forensics tournament today across the state (I didn't go) and broke into the semi-finals so he was happy about that. He was home about 20 minutes before he went to pick up his girlfriend for the winter formal dance at the school. It's after midnight and he's on his way home. He's never out this late. haha. I'm lucky that way.

Tomorrow is the Oscars!! I have 16 people in my Oscar pool this year. I have almost all the ballots and I need to input everyone's picks into a spreadsheet for tomorrow night. I have my snacks and punch ingredients bought. I've seen all but 3 best picture nominations and I'm gonna watch one tomorrow. I got out my decorations already.

Hope everyone is well!!
xx

Mirage, I need to see your decorations! I hope you posted on fb. :)

You did! I love them! And the moon pies ... HA HA!

Thanks, PBC! Had a good time. You know no one comes over, right? That's sorta the inside joke with my friends who know me well. I post on facebook my decorations and snacks and people think I'm having a party and then I don't have anyone over cuz...people...ew. lol That's why my friend asked if I invited anyone over and I answered 'of course not'. haha

Happy March, Marchers!!
:You_Rock_ :grouphug: :scoregood :thanks

Hi , called in so you all would know I am at least alive. Haven't posted for a while because I am drinking , been at it for a few weeks now. Hating myself but not ready to put down just yet. Seriously depressed . I will be back when I get myself sorted out.

I';m sorry to hear that Aussie. I don't see how drinking and not posting here is going to work out well for you though.

There's a part of you that wants to stop - or you'd never have posted here. Feed that part :hug:

D

Please come back and Join us Aussie---we care. and who knows it better than this group.
From my own experience it only gets harder every time and it I need this group.
I will be thinking about you.
Babs

(((Aussie))) I'm so glad you posted, that you're here, and that you're still trying. And, I'm glad that Dee always has the perfect thing to say. <3 you all!

I have my granddaughter today. I took her to swim lessons, we grocery shopped, went out to lunch with the family, played, took a nap, and now I'm going to give her a bath and do her hair before I take her home to her mama again. What a great Saturday!

I'm sorry you're struggling, Aussie. :( I hope you're feeling better and stronger now. :hug:

Good morning, friends!l

We have a friend in the hospital on life support. He's 47 and had a heart attack at work on Thursday. (High school friend of my husband's. There's a big group of them who are still very close). Yesterday, we got a call from a friend saying we'd better get to the hospital, the doctor has told them that he is seeing no brain activity. So basically we went up there to say goodbye. We all took turns going in, lots of tears. So about 2 hours later, someone runs into the waiting room saying 'he's moving his toes!!' So wild. He was moving his toes on demand. It was like out of a movie. It's possible the dialysis he had just had helped wash out the sedatives he was on. He's having another round today. It's a loooong road and there will be ups and downs and we don't know what kind of damage has been done of course, but we're cautiously optimistic. He and his wife have a 7 year old Down's Syndrome boy who needs a lot of care, which makes this even harder. His poor wife really has her hands full. I've never seen so much support, though. The hospital staff had to keep bringing us chairs, we're packing the place. This is really a close group. (We're a bit on the edge of that circle now, but we have a lot of history with them.)

Other than that, we're starting to get ready for a cruise we're taking in a couple weeks. 5 day cruise with 2 other families for T's senior year spring break. We're stopping at Cozumel, Mexico and Grand Cayman Island. We'll be swimming with the stingrays, visiting Mayan ruins and snorkeling. Exciting! We're driving down to Florida, 17 hours.

Aussie, how are you faring?

Hope you all are having a good March! :hug:

Happy Fall to my aussie friends!! Yay! The heat is coming to an end!
:abcn: :cheer

Strewth mate! She's been a hot one- fair dinkum. If I could get the man upstairs on the dog and bone I would chuck a wobbly, too right! (cobber).
She's apps, but. See you round like a rissole.

Prayers for your friend mirage.

I hoped we'd changed seasons yesterday cos it was kinda cool...but no such luck :)

MOM!!! Phoenix is talking funny again!!!

Apparently, that is how one speaks. One is unsure if the colonists will understand our belated attempt at humour.
