2.) I'm going back to work soon after

missing out for an entire year, very long story but will post why if

anyone wants to know

sure, go right ahead and post about this .I think we all have to vent

once in awhile.

I am glad your mom is doing ok ...is still stressful though you

though .

What kind of work do you do ? was the year off a leave of absence for

medical reasons ?

Talking and letting things out .....to people that understand, is the

best way I have found to deal with problems .

anyway big hugs and glad you are ok ....

Hey YOU!!!

It's so good to see a post on here from you. Been thinking about you

and checking the posts to see if you appeared. Glad all is okay.

Good to hear you are watching out for your Ma...sometimes they need

that whether they like it or not. Hope when I get older my daughter

cares enough to do it for me if it's needed. She better, the brat!

So you are going back to work after the first huh? You know what? I

used to work a 40+ hour week and take care of the house, animals,

etc. and it is so nice to now be self employed. My husband and I

build cabinets. He's very talented in that arena. I am learning as

it goes. He's done this for about 9 years now but never had a

business of his own til we moved back out here to Arizona. Now

finally getting him up a REAL shop so it frees up the garage. Damned

garage should be for CARS and TRUCKS....1000 square foot garage, can

you believe it?? Anyway I guess my point is that since I don't have

the added stress of a full time job my life has gotten a lot nicer.

I don't think I could ever go back to working for someone else

again. Partly cuz I am too damned opinionated at times and I just

don't care much about making money for someone else anymore. I used

to be a Veterinary Assistant and really did love the job and still

miss it. But now I have more time to work with my horses and still

help out in the shop. guess what I am trying to say is that I

understand the stress working can put on a person at times. It sucks.

It's great to have a hubby who pretty much lets me do as I wish. He

says I am high maintenance.....with a grin of course. But at times I

am sure I am. At least the meds have made me a more " liveable "

person. I'm not the bitch I was a few years ago. Thank God for that!

You know we all have our quirks....it's just really nice to have

someone who understands each other like we all do. By and far I

think sometimes we are tougher than most and smarter. At least we

can relate to others about what's wrong, you know?? Glad I found you

guys too...helps to maintain my sanity!!

Take care.

Had to laugh at some of your post, Shauna!

I consider myself very high maintenance. Said with a big grin, but it's

true. And I agree that those of us who have made it this far have had to be

tough. Tough enough that others haven't killed us when we were bitchy....

I'm so grateful not to be bitchy anymore. Life is a lot nicer nowadays. And

my smartness can be appreciated now, when before it was just smart-alecky, I

suppose.

Hope everyone gets thru the holidays with some joy! Where's ? I miss her

posts. She made me think.
