About Me
I am married (29 years) with two children(daughters) ages 23 and 21. The youngest moved out in January in anger and is now living with her boyfriend. Not the best situation. My oldest is a nurse and has just bought her own home. My mother and mother-in-law passed away this spring 5 weeks apart. 2008 has not been the best of years for us. I teach special education in my hometown high school.

Hug
Hello Barb, I guess it wasn't meant to be tonight. I changed the beds, ironed (oh how I dread that) and mowed, plus worked yesterday. So I think this should be called the "lost weekend". I am going to bed very soon too. I hope you have a good week and maybe we will see each other online. Take care and I'll be thinking of you. Love, Judy

Our area was very lucky, and definitely was missed by Hanna. Sounds like you might have some rain from it. I came home around 2 pm and took a nap for 2 hours since I went to work at 6 am. My laundry was all finished last night, except for some ironing. I am cooking some dinner now... having ravioli's. Mmmmm. Love pasta. Well take car and hope to catch up with you soon. Lots of love, Judy
Kiss

Hug
Well, how am I doing? I am being sued by a landlord from five years ago! ...and I did finally decided I couldn't afford NOT to have an attorney...I would rather pay the attorney than the landlord! In the meantime, I hear nothing...nada...from my grandchildren. Only through DS have I learned how to keep this in perspective and deal with it. It is hurtful, painful, depressing, and even ridiculous, but I will somehow overcome it. Thank you for the hug..hugs back...truly

Close Empty Nests
My youngest daughter, age 21, left our home and went to live with her boyfriend in January. I am having a very difficult time adjusting and accepting this. My husband is angry. I am feeling very lonely and somewhat depressed because the family we had is changing so very very quickly.

Close Bereavement
Well, 2008 has been a pretty tough year for me. In early April my wonderful Mother-in-Law passed away after a short illness and then 5 weeks to the day my beloved mother died. I barely was coping with my first loss when my mother suddenly took sick and died after just a few short days. I was and still am running on "autopilot" . I find myself crying all the time. I miss them both so very much. The grief is overwhelming!
