Frst, My ers go out to the family in need. They must be going through a tramatic time in their lives. God Bless them..... Polly I hope you get the right meds to knock that bad right out of you. Please don't feel guilty about missing work, your health is MUCH more important... Are your kids feeling OK??? Take care of yourself, and let us know how you made out at the docs...... Hi DeeDee I hope your getting along better each day. Is that a pic of you and your hubby you have up now? It's really a great pic. Looks like you both were some where fancy? Maybe a wedding? Take care of yourself, and my ers are with both of you also.. I've been doing good with the kids back in school and all. All 3 love thei teachers, and so far so good. Mom had to go for another blood test yesterday, because the doctor called about the one she had the week prior. Get this moms doc told her there was no way that these blood tests could be correct. If they were right it would be a medical phenomna. Kiddingly I told her I hoped they were right, cuz we have to get some money in this house some how! Well I'm going to go play some games, take care of yourselves!!!! (HUGS) ..... A special er sent out for all living and dead who were involved in 911...." THE FLAG STILL FLIES"
Polly quit feeling guilty for missing work. You are not the first person to ever do this, besides you are woman, take time to get better.
Hope you made it to the doctor today. Get better soon.
Mickie, yes that is me and hubby and two of my sons are in behind us. It was at my son's wedding. In fact it was my son and Aiden's mom's wedding. (Tiffany). That was taken 2 years ago. They just celebrated 2 years on the 10th of Sept.
Thanks.

Thank you Mickie and DeeDee for your words of support! I definitely needed them. I did get to the dr. I have bronchitis. She gave me a steroid shot since I have trouble with taking prednisone. Also an antibiotic and said she wanted me off for the rest of the week resting. I must admit it releived some of the guilt for her to say it since I knew it was going to be VERY hard to go to work. Just going to the dr. tired me out something awful. And Randy has been very supportive and caring. That s more than anything! And now you two wonderful ladies giving me the support I need. Thanks!!
Now would you like to hear the rest of my day? So much fun, NOT! We had a meeting with the 'mediator' from the power company that is want to run a 500V high power line right through the middle of our property. They had given us an offer a while ago and we knew they had the wrong amount of land. They said 1.45 acres and we knew it was closer to 4 acres that they would be taking. So they brought out a new offer and they brought the 'field supervisor' with them. Well, the offer they gave us did not seem right compared to what they were offering my FIL for his ground. Long story short we ended up getting more of an offer since the supervisor was there. Still it is not enough when it means you can't use your property the way you want to. Ok enough , I won't even get on that soap box. The next fun part of my day (evening actually) was that my DD who yes is 21 but still in college has decided to move out. She is going to share an apartment with a boy (who is just a friend, hmmm) who I have never met. She has been planning this for a few weeks. she took out student loans to pay for the rent, etc. Needless to say I am not happy, I am pretty much heart broken. It is NEVER easy when they leave the nest but under these conditions it is somehow worse. Not how I pictured things would be anyway. And of course I am very worried. I told Randy that I do not have to think rationally right now, I am a mom and I am thinking with my heart NOT my head! It was hard to watch her packing up her stuff last night and then to see her taking it to her car this . I can only imagine what it is going to feel like this weekend when she completes the move. Oh my, I'm not sure I will ever again. Well, I just had to unload on someone and unfortunately you all were the lucky ones. I know 'rationally' things could be so much worse (like what DeeDee and her family has been going through) but as I said , right now I don't feel very rational. Thanks for listening and i'm this was all about me today. Hopefully the next time I post I will be a better friend and talk about you all. Hugs.

Awww Polly, you are having a rough time of things right now. Glad you got something from the doctor though and have to take time off work. It will you get better quicker too.
As for your daughter moving out, well you knew the day would come sooner or later, just didn't know it would be like this. BUT she is grown up and as a mother yes you will think with your heart. Later on you will think with your head but for now, the heart will take over. Really there is not much you can do but trust that she knows what she is doing and will do the right thing. Other than that, I have no advice to give you seeing I never had a girl to worry about like that. I just know things will work out alright.
Hang in there and get some .
Hope things work out with the land deal for you all too.

~~~ Polly I'm so you are going through all these rough times at once. I really don't know what to say except to stay stong, and everything works out in the long run... The hard part is that you never know how long the long run is!!!! Hang tough my friend! I hope the doc gave you somrthing where you are feeling much better today.. I'm happy that he told you to take a week off, cuz with all thats going on, you know you needed it...If you ever want to talk about anything, don't feel like your ramblig, we all need to vent.... HUGS!!!! DeeDee I hope your starting to feel back to your own self! Time heals all, so they say. I hope your time comes quickly.... HUGS
Thank you Mickie, I feel like ranting and raving and ing and screaming all at once but instead I am saying and doing nothing. For one thing I am still to weak from this stupid illness and also I just don't know what to say. I have been watching her come here and pack up her stuff and take it away for the last couple of days. This is just not how I pictured her moving out some day. I always knew it would be hard but this is just not right. She has even already bought stuff for her new place. Doesn't need anything, I guess. Has made arragngements for furniture, etc. And all of my family (on both sides ) knew before Randy and I did. His dad is even the reference for her loans. Oh yeah did I mention she took out student loans to pay for all of this?? Oh yeah, I guess I did but how STUPID is that? She has a place to live, everything paid for NOT too many rules but apparently ones she doesn't want to live with anymore. OH I'm I am just so darned right now!And all everyone here wants to tell me is well, she is 21 , it was coming, blah. Well, I know all that I just don't like it right now. I am soooooooooooooooooooo ANGRY! I am so HURT and you know what? I have no one to talk to about it! No one to just let me rant and rave and get it out of my system. And it hurts so bad! I don't want to hear rational thoughts. I want someone to just sit there and say you are right. It's ok to feel this way. Knowing that I just need to get it out of my system . Oh I've got to go, the dam just burst,

ok, I'm . I just had a minor melt down. I guess I had held it in too long. Thanks for listening and letting me vent. I had no where else to go with it and guess I needed to let it out. Thanks again!

Polly my heart goes out for you. I know how you are feeling and its not fair to be alone in your thoughts like you are. You rant and rave all you like and email me if you like and rant and rave some more. I am a good listener. We all need an outlet sometime and this time I can be it for you.
I will say you are right. You have every reason to feel the way you do. Especially when you and Randy were the last to know about this but then parents usually are. Its like the guy who is running around and the wife is last to know. Same difference. Maybe she was afraid to tell you for fear of you stopping her.
All I will say here is she has to find out on her own if she made the right decision or not. I know its killing you right now to see her go but she has to find out on her own. I will for her and you too. Just don't keep holding it in, let it out and scream, or do whatever you have to do to feel better about this situation. I agree its a and to find out the guys father is ing them out well, what can I say.
Ok, enough said. Get it out of your system one way or another Polly and don't apologize for how you are feeling. You are a mother who loves her daughter. No apology needed for that.
to you my friend

Ditto DeeDee........ Polly stop saying . You aren't doing anything wrong by expressing your feelings. I can see your dauhter made a lot of bad decissions. Seems to me that if the father was the reference, and you knew him, he should have talked parent to parents with you about this.... Well I hope all works out for your daughter. I would hate to have seen her education money be wasted... Stay strong and feel well.... Hi DeeDee I hope your feeling better each day! How are your quilts coming along? I hope everyone has a gret week-end and are able to leave your worries behind for a bit... HUGS...
Good mor ning ladies. Thank you both for understanding and listening. First I need to clarify that it was Randy's dad (my FIL) who was the reference for the loan. And my mom was apparently helping her get stuff for the place. Also friday night I rode to the bank with Randy and was sitting in the car waiting and someone I've known since I was a teenager was going in the bank and I stopped him and said hello. We talked for a few minutes and he told me he had seen my mom and Skye at the bank not too long ago. Well of course Randy and I discussed this and figured it was about a loan for Skye. Well, we had Summer my youngest dd with us and she was going to Mom's to stay the night, long story short, my mom calls me later in the evening and of course brought up the incident and trys to put a nice spin on it. But what it boils down to is she had been with skye at the bank like a week or so before while Skye was trying to get a loan!!! Now,here is an interesting thing, she is supposed to pay us a monthly payment on a loan to get her car fixed and when school started and she has to work less hours she asked if she could stop making payments for a while. Of course we said yes, and now she was trying to get a loan at the bank? How did she think she was going to make a bank payment? With student loans she can pay after she graduates but with a bank loan she would have to make payments immediately? And my mom was helping her? I feel so betrayed by everyone! I keep hearing more and more of how this came down and it seems like everyone was helping her and like you two said, they should have said , go talk to your parents! We feel like they helped set her up for a future full of debt! It's hard enough to watch her go out on her own but to see all the deceit is like a double wammy right now! Randy and I have talked and we don't want this to tear our family apart so we are going to set up a 'family meeting' with Skye, my mom and his dad and work through this. I told him the only way we are going to be able to get past this is to talk to them and get our feelings out. We WANT to be there for Skye and enjoy her life with her but we feel so shut out of things. Oh I could go on and on but I will stop right here for now. I do appreciate you letting me get this out and for your support and pra yers. WE all need them so bad right now. Also I would like to ask you to pray for a young girl named Shannon. She used to work with me at the job I am at now and she had to change to get a job with health insurance due to getting divorced. She is younger than me and has two young boys. She was in a wreck Sat. morning and last I heard they were talking about taking her off life support. Thankfully my boss called to let me know what was going on. It also gave her and I a chance to talk and I feel better about going back to work. I was nervous, even though they had assured me to take my time and get better. I just hate having to miss, especially so long. Anyway please pray for her and her family. And say an extra pray er for me. I am going back to work today and to be honest I am still not doing well. I have more energy than I had before, not alot, but hopefully enough to get through the day. I am still coughing but until this morning nothing would break loose. Well it did this a.m. and it's not good, I definitely still have infection. I may have to get a new antibiotic. And now Summer is sick. When it rains it pours, right? Well, I will go for now, need to get ready for work. I really, really appreciate you listening and being here for me. Talk to you soon and I hope you are both ok. DeeDee, I hope you are still healing well. YOU have been through so much more than me and here I am whining. Take care, love ya both.

Hi Polly, take it easy at work today. Don't push your self, and leave early if you feel too weak. I think having a family meeting will clarify a lot of unanswered questions. I can't think of a good reason why everyone was being so secretive. I hope the day goes well for you, and take it easy!
Polly, I think this family meeting is just what you all need. Get the feelings out in the open and go from there. I am sure things will seem brighter afterwards.
As for you, I sure hope your health improves very soon and your daughter now too. No fun to be .
That poor girl, I will keep her in my ers. If they take her off life support and God wants her, He will take her, if not, she will be okay. Its all in His hands now. My ers are with her and the family.
As for me, I am healing every day. They changed my dressing today and I was amazed at how well its healing. I could email you pictures but I doubt you really want to see that. So just take my word for it. Its looking great. I was a bit sore today and my foot is quite swollen but I think I am walking too much without the walker. I will see what the doctor *(you know, the handsome one) says on Wednesday when I see him.
Take care

DeeDee, now you behave with that dr., . At least you have something to look forward to when you go, . I am glad that you are healing so well. But it sounds like you are over doing it, like I knew you would so you just start taking it easy, ok? You do not want to have a delay in your healing and you don't need the pain or swelling. I hope you continue to heal so well. Please take good care of yourself. I think momzone would fall apart without you here to keep us going!!
My bosses went to see Shannon (the girl I asked er for) yesterday. They got to talk with her mom a good bit. They are keeping her on life support so she dies a natural death so they can use her organs for donation. Her Uncle needs a liver and Shannon is a perfect match which apparently is very rare. Also her heart is so small and in such good shape it is going to a little girl. I think it so amazing and wonderful that her parents are going through this so that other people can be saved by using Shannons organs. Apparently the only part of her brain that is left working is the lower stem and in injuries like this it will continue to die. If they took Shannon off life support they would not be able to use all of her organs. So I guess it is a matter of time. Her parents know this and have already been making arrangements. They had to get a bigger funeral home because so many people are going to be attending. I don't think they realized how many lives Shannon touched in such a positive way. Thanks for your ers. I know they are ing the family. And they are ing me. Each day I just wonder if I'm going to get through it without having a screaming fit, , but so far I have, . We haven't set up a meeting yet. but hopefully soon. Skye calls me everyday though but we don't talk much. I know if I start it will escalate into a so I am keeping quiet for now. Thanks for everything.
