Helen, Thanks, I really needed this , this morning. Here lately I have been feeling a bit over whelmed, with sick kids, me being sick, just the whole thing. Thanks for being here. Marsha

I'm OkayBy Rabona GordonThe house is a mess, the dishes are dirty.I'm too old for this stuff, I'm well over thirty!The car is not clean, my house is a wreck,And I've already spent next Friday's paycheck.The laundry needs washing, the kids are too rowdy,And I never have time for a leisurely "Howdy."With all that I do, it's never enough,It's never quite finished, it always looks rough.I looked in my mirror and what did I see?A harried old stranger, where I used to be.The hurrier I go, the behinder I get.Today is tomorrow, and I'm not caught up yet.My kids are growing at such a fast pace,That I'm missing their childhood for the sake of this race.I work and I clean and I cook, and I say"Hit the books, clean your room!" there's no time for play.Well, the Lord, for some reason, chose ME with the careOf three of His children, but I'm rarely there!I've GOT to slow down lest there's nothing to showFor my role as their mom when they pack up and go!I'm only one person, but look through my door,What appears to be one, divides into more!I'm a chauffeur, a cook, a planter of trees,A teacher, an umpire, a mender of knees.Sometimes, I forget that deep down inside,There's a lady with feelings, and last night, she cried.She gets tired and lonely, feels taken for grantedShe wants to see blooms from the seeds that she's planted.Then, amidst all the turmoil in this mind-bending pace,My little ones look at me - square in the face...And just when I need it, they all in one daySay, "Momma, I love you" and then...I'm OKAY!~~~~ *** ~~~ *** ~~~ *** ~~~~ The Being Sick CommunityMessage Archives and Digest Attachment Pictures:-/messagesChat:- Scheduled Daily Chats at /chatBookmarks:-Add a website URL you have found useful./linksPersonal Complaints or problems:-Please contact a moderator email: -owner Subscription Details:-1) Individual email - means that every email sent to the list you receive.2) Daily Digest - sends you 25 messages in one single email for you to browse.

Good Morning, Carol, How are you feeling today?? Sleeping good??

We all are doing fine here, I am finally feeling better,, we sure have had some nasty respiratory bugs here in South Central Texas.LOL. It is really starting to get warm here as well, bad thunderstorms in the area last night, but they did not wonder over near us, goodthing,supposed to have done some damage.

Shoot, I have not opened my windows in years, due to the girl's allergies, sure do miss it. I used to always line dry all our clothes as well and have had to stop that also, same reason, used to always smell so good.

The girls are doing fine, April has TAAS tests yesterday and today, be glad when they are thru to get back to "normal" school.

Hey Helen, Glad Ross is feeling better. How are you feeling?? Yep, it is getting hot here as well, our AC is on as we type. Look out summer time. We all are doing fine here, even Amber's allergies seem to be calming down... Hope it lasts.

I had a sinus infection, sure was a nasty bug, for sure, tomorow is my last day of Ceftin, hope it is enough, like I must have told the GP more than once, dealing with the girls, it takes at least 21 days of antibiotics to clear it up.. I may call her on Mon and ask for more, just to make sure.

Talk to you soon. Friend's,, Marsha

[Guest guest]

Glad Everyone is doing better finally )

Summer is a coming... we have broken or tied record highs now for five days straight, all in the middle 80's, one day it was 88 here in the middle of april !!! Come Sunday, they are calling for Snow showers here !!! This is ridiculous... No wonder everyone gets ill... All the flowers and trees are in full bloom ( If it freezes, everyone will loose everything... We have a lot of fruit orchards around here and they are in bllom already because of the early hot weather...

Ross is all better now ) Took him long enough... Bre and Saedi ill again, but of course no medical help for them (

Take Care...

((( One more day of Sunny Hugs )))

Helen, Glad you guys are feeling better, took long enough huh??

Gosh, I am sorry the girls are sick again.

We all are doing fine here, warm and windy, dog days of Summer are upon us. My gosh, you guys are expecting snow?? That is just too extreme.

Marsha

[Guest guest]

Carol, How are you feeling ?? Getting outside any??

We are all doing fine here. Knock on wood.

I am having trouble with a collection agency, claiming I owe the hospital where my PP works money, from a visit March of 2001. Man, I must have talked to Clarendon CHIP, April's insurance and the hospital several times and they claim they are taking care of it and not to worry well today the agency called and said my name is in their little black book if you will, well you can guess I told her what she can do with that. On Mon I am going to make a call to the hospital and my Insurance and demand this be fixed and I want it in writting mailed to me. The insurance picks up the tabs on all this and anything left over is absorbed. Have any of you folks ever had a problem like this and if so, how did you fix it??

Have a nice weekend,, Carol.

Extreme isn't the word for it... But the snow at this point should stay 30 - 40 miles north of us... We're getting down to 35* tonight, that's too close to freezing... Have lots of fruit farmers around here and they will loose everything if it freezes, as everything is in bloom...

Hubby found over 40 sponge mushrooms today at his sisters house... They are too early also... But OHHHHHHHHH are they delicious... Hopefully he will find a bushel of them... Can dream can't I ) My grama, when she was with us, would go into Mich. with her brothers and sisters and come home with a bushel apiece of Very Large mushrooms... They never would tell anyone where they went, so it died with them all (

Glad you are all doing well...

Helen, How is your tummy feeling today?? Did it get as cold as they predicited?? Remains hot and sunny here.

We all are doing fine here. I got the mess fixed with the hopital and insurance, turns out that the girl at the hospital did not do as she promised me she would do in Jan and Feb, I asked to speak to her supervisor, told him what was going on and demanded this to be fixed today, with written proof, then I called patient account and told them the same and that I had spoken with thir boss, and within thirty minutes they called and said they found the problem and that our name was removed from the list, so then I called the collection agency and they backed what I was told and then I preceded to tell her about the rude lady that called me. So there. You want a job done do it your self.LOL.

) Now that was CUTE !!! Tornado and snow, worlds lost its mind ) The weather has been very crazy this year for us also... But Oh the 80's felt SO good last week ) I;m tired of being cold... I can't keep my hands and feet warm in the winter... A lot of times, I'm wearing gloves when typing on the computer, because my hands are so cold... They turn blue... Doc says that is from the polyneuropathy and the FMS and the Lupus... Just take your pick )

When my brother went off to be a missionary, he and his wife studied there in Minneapolis, Minnesota ) at Bethany Collage... Their infant son is buried there in Minneapolis somewhere...

Lets BOTH hope it warms up around here REAL soon )

((( Warming Hugs )))

Thought I would add my 2 cents about weather here in Minnesota.

It is currently 54 degrees F here in Inver Grove Heights (a suburb of St. ). We got 6 inches of snow on Monday, and are expecting some more Thursday & Friday according to the TV weather guys. I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens next. If we have a major blizzard followed by a tornado... I'll know that the world has officially lost its mind!!

Love Always,

Anne

I went to Pillsbury College oin owatonna minnesota years ago-can't forget the snow and cold there. It has been so very strange weather-wise. we had those 90 degree record breakers last week and then it got cold. Unfortunately I had taken the electric blanket off the bed and stored it so have felt a little uncomfortable but will make it. going to get warmer this week. Yes,my lupus makes me very cold at times too and because of the raynauds my lupus doc always said it was important to protect the extremities. carol
