I want my freakin' tractor!!!!!!

Hey, I bought a card the other day where I can get flowers for her every month of the year. So I'm workin' on swoonin' the toast lady. (I call her that because she fixes me dry toast for breakfast and I just feed it to the dogs. If they turn their nose up at it I just throw it out on the lawn.):D

If she reads this, that won't help you. The flowers might...

Anyone hungry? I might make corn bread or we may just eat crackers depends on how I feel in a few hours. :D

[Honey]

To the husband that NEVER picks up anything: Why for the love of all mankind did you leave your fishing crap scathered in the yard? I just got home and one of the puppies has a hook and some kinda thingy and string hanging from his mouth. I give up. Just can't do it anymore. And where is the husband? Fishing! Dang it! And I mean it DANG IT!

[Sugar]

Honey is puppy OK....did you get the thingy out?

[Hermione]

Uh-oh, sounds like Bay-Fly oughta go over and spend the afternoon at Sugar's house. Eat soup, keep Sugar company, and let things simmer down at home.

[Hermione]

I've been married twice. I hate to break this to you, but . . .

[Honey]

And now I go outside to see what I can do and those dogs have destroyed my porch flowers again. Scarlett, I don't have any Mums left. :cry: I guess I'm loading up the dog and going to the vet.

[Sugar]

[Scarlett O'hara]

Just heard from Honey................let me just say I hope she takes a bath quickly!

[Sugar]

you know and why is there a need to put 4 holes into me to take out 1 thingy....and how is this better having the 4 holes than just the one big hole? I mean ugggg now I hurt in 4 places instead of one.

[Sugar]

ewwwwwwwwww? what happened Scarlett?

[Scarlett O'hara]

I'll just wait and let her tell you..you know she has a way with stories.........

[xc9]

I understand sugar. I have cried all day because the last 3 years I have been a burden to my husband from Nov. past all the holidays. It will be no different this year. I am tired of being a burden to anyone and I just don't think I will make it through this next surgery. I am tired and irritable too. I don't think you should be picking up the dogs yet though. Are you okay? Please be careful and know that it isn't just you-I am in the same position only I have already been told that when I am recuperated from this I will undergo another. I REALLY have been considering this and what to do. I guess I am just mentally and emotionally at my low point. I am going to get into the medical post on the computer and see just what all the doc is talking about and what the people who have had this done think about having it done. I am just mentally tired now. My neighbor keeps telling me depression after this type surgery is expected, but I am not a good depressed person. I just keep asking God to do his will, and here I still am! Guess he is trying to tell me something huh?

[Sugar]

CX9 I need you to call me ASAP! I'm PMing you my cell.

[Honey]

I told you the dogs destroyed my flowers again. There is dirt all over my front porch. And they are just having a good ole time getting dirty! So I get my fly swat and swat their hinnys. Not the one with the hook though. They all stop and look at each other like, "WTH was that?" Cause they never had their hinnys popped before. And they took off running down the front steps around to the back steps. This is where I didn't think things thru again. Even though I didn't pop the one with the hook in his mouth he ain't coming out from under the steps. Yep I got to go under and get him. I wrap him in a towel and sit him on my lap. Well, on the way to the vet the dog went pee-pee all down my leg. Ew!!!!!!!!!!! I have to give all but my blood to fill out those forms and then the vet comes to look at him and says, "Did he catch any fish?" Followed by, "We will have to sedate him to get this out." WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!WHAT??????????????? Oh my gosh! So while he is having his little surgery I am standing in the waiting room. Can't sit down cause I got pee-pee all over me. Then the tech comes out to tell me the cost and to get approval. $146.00 Yep, and I HAD to give them my name and address, didn't I? Cause this would have been a good time to vanish. Cause in a few days I'm going brown hair again and I need glasses anyway. They wouldn't find me. But no they got all but my dress size and blood type. So now the dog is on antibiotics, twice a day. So if you will excuse me I got a cherry blossom bubble bath calling my name!

[Sugar]

lol teehee snort oh sorry I didn't mean to laugh...they could have just cut that hook in half you know and push it out the other side insted of sedating. Oh well you weren't bored!

[Scarlett O'hara]

HONEY SAID WTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek::eek::eek:

[Honey]

I actually thought about asking, "You ain't got any pliers, do you?" But I don't think I have the stomach for it. Oh did I mention the lady that had just threw up in there? My day is just about complete now.

[Honey]

Now Scarlett, ya'll know that my WTH means what the heck. I'm saving my cuss words for when the husband walks thru the door.

[Scarlett O'hara]

WELL, YOU'LL BE SHORT ANOTHER CAUSE YOU SAID ONE ON THE PHONE.........I believe you were describing the fishing equipment.................

[Honey]

Stop tattling on me Scarlett.

[Scarlett O'hara]

Sorry...............I've had so much medicine, I'm talking outta my head...........maybe I dreamed it??????

[Honey]

I may be out of today's limit cause I did talk to Elle too. But as soon as midnight strikes I'm waking his hiney up.

[Scarlett O'hara]

not with a fish hook, I hope..................

I can see the headlines tomorrow.................

Local Woman Really Hooks Husband!

[Honey]

I need to put rollers in my hair and pick out an outfit for tonight. I'll be back in a little while.

[katzeyez]

Always an adventure with Honey.

[Honey]

Good news! Good news! The date has been moved to tomorrow night! Yay! Daughter said the play is tomorrow too. And I picked out a nice black skirt and soft pink blouse.



Nana! Get my bar stool ready! I'm headed that way.

[Scarlett O'hara]

CX9 I PMed you but I guess you can not call me. Well thats OK! Just wanted to help you to carry this load. I am not the one with the fish hooked dog. That was Honey...lol

Anyways......................

It is totally understandable that you're depressed with all the sickness you got going on. And who is good at being a depressed person? Sure isn't me. I know when I get down I been listening to the devil...the lair, whom the truth is not in!!! I bet you never heard your hubby complain one time about caring for you. I bet he doesn't feel the way you do. I'll work on my thoughts I start thanking God for the good things in my life...like my husband and my grand children and my children. Even for my little FHA house! :D when I feel less than.

I also know God knows what you are going through and that he cares, that he is there for you regardless weather you feel him there or not. Did you think just maybe God does have more time for you and that the surgery that is up and coming is the tool God is gonna use to give you some more time with your family. He is good that way...LOL! :D

Here's the truth....God never promised any of us that we would live here forever. Yet he did promise to always go through things with you. Stop listening to the devil and accept that God is here with you and he is going to carry out HIS will...relax...crawl up into the Fathers lap and let it all go...I care and if you need me...you got my number!!!!

Isaiah 41:10 (NIV)
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

[Hermione]

Whew! What a day all you girls are having. Think I'll sit around this evening and appreciate a little boredom. XC, my prayers are with you.

[optimistik1]

Still can't get over Honey's day....or language! *feigning shock*

(((Sugar))) what lovely advice to give (((XC9)))...

who I think is dealing with a tad of depression...could be chemically induced...or stress related..I think she should talk to her doctor, tell him how she feels and get something to help with the depression and pain...(I take Cymbalta...works wonders) it is for pain and depression...I was chemicall altered when I went through the change...I HAVE to take it...doctor's orders...TALK to him!!! please!

[Sugar]

Right on Opti! Amen!

[Honey]

I am so sorry about my bad language today.

[xc9]

Honey, you made me smile. Thanks. I had a good cry and felt better. I am a control freak and this is totally leaving me out of control. Did you ever see the Sugarbakers show "Designing Women"? I am like that ditzy lovable Suzanne. Everything is right as long if it is done my way. I do want to thank y'all for letting me vent-I guess I needed it.

[xc9]

My meditations for the night said If I am going through a struggle in my life to find my star outside and then pray to the blessed mother to ask for intervention on my behalf. Guess what y'all. I have a 3 foot statue of Mary inside a Grotto the backyard with solar lighting for the dark times. I went outside, found my a bright star and then stood in front of my statue and prayed the prayer my meditation gave. I know God is awesome and sends the right messages to me on the days I need it. I siad a few Hail Marys too-it really has helped. I wonder if any of my neighbors were looking out their windows at this hobbly lady in pajamas staring at a star and then praying in front of this statue. I am surprised I have people that have been living here for 25 years by me. lol.

[Nana]

Glad you're feeling a bit better xc9. We are here for you so vent anytime you feel you need to.

[Sugar]

Grand #2 is home now with sore throat...later!
