It's been a tough week across the globe. Share your thoughts in our new 2008 Financial Crisis support group.
Well today is the big day. Not sure what the day has in store for me but I figure I will take it in stride. Even if nothing big happens for my birthday that way I won't be too dissapointed. I have aquatic therapy at 11am. I am a little nervous still about it. I forgot on of my land bases therapy exercises and I have been doing the stomache one but probably not as often as she would like me to. It is hard for me to lay on my back and do them. My daughter did not make it to school again this morning. She has only been going in the afternoon. She has been making it to play practice. So I dont' know if that shows she is more committed to the play then school or what. In her defense the play is more stimulating when you are dead tired. I am hoping that her meds kick in by Monday. It explains so much. She will have to walk to school or get a ride from her boyfriend unless I get done with therapy in time to take her. Joey's sleep schedule is still a little messed up but I think we are getting it back on track. I don't think I will let them do the next play they will have to have some time to rest up and catch up on school work. Josh is still depressed and wont' take the St. Johns Wart. Not sure why he won't. take it. I am sure it would help. My sinuses are still acting up I MUST have allergies. I wish I knew what they were. Of couse it probably wouldnt' help. A friend of mine gave me some cleanser, toner and moistureiser to try and I dont' think it has made a difference oh well. It wil save me some money. My head is just pounding. My ears hurt. UGG not a good way to start the day. Maybe when I take my shower it will clear up my sinuses. I have been trying to gets some exercise each day or every other day and it has been hard but I am sure in the long run it will be worth it. I wish I had more friends off line but I am very thankful for the friends I have one line. God Bless all of you thanks for reading.

My husband just looked at me and said tomorrow is your birthday and I can't buy you anything. I have my f--- life. What do I say to that. I mean I am somebody who likes to have a big deal made out of her birthday. I can't say anything to that. I mean how is that supposed to make me feel. what I should have said was that is ok honey don't worry about it. But I couldn't and didn't. On the bright side I got money in the mail from my grandmother it was ten dollars. Not a lot but it is the thought that counts. I may use it to go get more jewlery making stuff. Nobody has asked me what I want for my birthday because we are all broke. OH well you win some you loose some. My back and right leg are really bothering me not sure why. But they are. Well I know why but I mean is theresomething else wrong? I have my aquatic therapy tomorrow she had better be nice to me because if not I will let her have it. I know not a good christian attitude. I should pray about it. Just been in a bad mood this morning. I think it is pain related. maybe that or something else. We have no money coming in until JOsh gets paid from Security Abstract and then most goes to pay Mom and Dad back. I have like six medications I have to pick up on Friday. So pray more money comes in. I want to thank all of you who commet on my journal you know who you are. Jenna is still tired she has and abnormal thyroid that explains why she has been having chest pain and so tired. The play is friday, Saturday and Sunday I hope I have the money to go to it. I guess I need to remember that the Lord will provide.

It must be so frustrating for both you and your husband, to be strapped financially, especially with an occasion like your birthday to celebrate. I like being fussed over, too. I definitely think it's valid for you to speak up to your aquatic therapist. She should be treating you with respect and patience. Unfortunately everyone is not as kind as you are. Have a very happy birthday!

H sounds like an express route to chucklesville!!! I suspect that he is just 'oed off @ his presant situation??? I learned early in life that it aint no sin to save $ Most ppl dont. Your b-day is the same day yearjy & H could have prepared better. I know lotsa ppl like that, they cant stand to have a $ in thier pocket. I keep 6 months needs @ hand
God Bless

I feel your pain, I also like to have a big deal made out of my birthday and would have been crushed by what your husband did, but don't internalize it because it's his issue. That would be enough for me not to want to care about his special day even though it's vindictive. I am sorry for your physical pain, I too am in pain and it's no easy way to live. I too am limited by lack of funds and it's frustrated me to no end. It's a damned if I do and damned if I don't feeling and your not alone with those feelings. I hope things get better for you and I trust in time that they will.
Guess what we got a check in the mail it was 250.00 so we used most of to get our check book in the red. What was left over we got medicine for Josh. We also have to pick up shampoo and conditioner. We use a special kind that last a month. Their is not much left but it is the fact that God sent it to us when we needed it. I am still a little depressed but I am doing better then I was. I had some really good friends give me some great comments on my journal and gave me hugs. I have made a lot of good friends on here. I just wish they were closer. Oh well God willing I will also make some more friends off line. I didn't sleep very well last night. I woke up at 1:30am and then ended up staying up until 8:30 am. Then I slept for three hours. So I am not moving that fast and I am a little out of it. I was hoping to do something with a friend of mine today but I am just not up for it. Maybe things worked out for the best. An online friend from Ds suggested I try Saint Johns Wart. I have tried it in the past but I worry it will counter react with my other medications. I am on two antidepresants but maybe they are not cutting it. But then again I can't count on medications to solve all my problems. I have to learn to deal with it on my own. I came of looking like an idiot at my aquatic therapy. It took me along time to do the exercises and then to learn them. I think it is just the "fibro fog" and my hearing and sometimes because of all my health problems it takes me a little bit of time to process stuff. Plus I was a little nervous. I still get to caught up in what other peoplel think but I am getting better. I am supposed to do an airborne party sometime but I don't know enough people.

i would explore interactions w/St Johns Wart before taking it or anything else, just 'cause it's OTC dont mean its harmless!!
God Bless

I get the part about being too concerned about what other people think and I realized the other day that they just aren't worth it!

Don't worry so much about what other people are thinking. They are just people with their own problems and probably wondering what you are thinking about them.
I was doing aqua therapy never learned to keep up with everyone else so I just did my own thing. Some laughed but I was getting exercise and felt better about it. Just keep it up and you'll see results.

I'm so glad that you got that check! Even if it only helps some, it's better than nothing, right? I have heard that bipolar patients should only take St. John's Wort under a doctor's care, because it can destabilize your mood and make you manic, so you might think about that. Good luck with the aqua therapy, it's great that you've started it, and like others have said, don't worry about what anyone thinks. I am totally uncoordinated, and I used to feel like an idiot exercising around other people, but then I realized (like andrews said) that in general people are preoccupied with their own stuff, and just as self-conscious about what you may be thinking about them.

I hope that your birthday turned out well. Congratulations on completing your goals! That's great that you're exercising, maybe you can inspire me to do the same, lol! I really hope that you feel better soon.

Happy belated birthday sweetie pie! I always try those moisturizers too and never notice a difference either, lol! I think those people make a fortune off of anti-aging creams and the like on insecure people like me and others, lol. Thanks for your wonderful empathy on my journal, I hope you have a great day.
