OT: Will be in and out, mostly out

I have been MIA for a while, and will continue to be mostly gone. I mentioned here a few weeks ago that my DM is having a knee replacement next week. Well the knee is completely gone. Has been for about a week (the drs. have waited too long before deciding to do it, IMHO). So I have been going over to Mom and Dad's trying to help them out when I'm not at work, as well as get ready for Thanksgiving, trying to hold my marriage together (it's falling apart), and trying to deal with migrains. I finally saw a dr. about the headaches, so that has finally stopped. DH and I had to attend a wedding 2 hours from home, no kids, so that gave us alot of time to finally get to talk. We're going to get through the holidays and then discuss whether we're going to stay married. We've at least agreed to call a truce and work on the marriage in the mean time.

I will be in and out, I'll try to post as often as possible. Welcome to all the newbies!

*BIG squishy hugs* You know I'm a phone call away if you ever need to vent. I hope your Mom's surgery goes well and that she'll be up on her feet in no time. At least the migraines stopped! I know they were really getting to you. You and DH are in my thoughts and prayers. Give me a call if you need to chat. Love you gal!

Hi Kenda,

Take time to take care of yourself too. You've got a lot of stress in your life right now at a very stressful time of year. You, your mother and your marriage will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Hugs, Lynne

Thank you for keeping us in you thoughts and prayers Dave. At least for now things are good. Sometimes I think married couples (at least us) stop doing the little things for each other and start drifting apart. We've both been working at remembering to do the little things for each other and I am hoping it continues.

Things will work out the way they are meant to. I just hope that we remain a family, but that does take work on both sides. He seems committed as I do about taking care of each other. Thank you for the positive thoughts.

Thank you Lynne. It is hard to remember to take care of one's self but I've been making sure I do a little something for me each day. Even if it's just sitting in a quiet corner with a cup of coffee and my feet up. It gives me some time to calm myself and relax. Thank you for the good thoughts and prayers.

I know what you mean Kenda finding a niche for ourselves. I do exactly what you described. I get a cup of coffee prepared perfectly like I like it and take about 15 to 20 minutes to myself and it works wonders. Yes, I do have to tell everyone to leave me alone at first. Then remind them of the ridiculousness of themselves that I can't have 15 minutes to myself when they return a 2nd time.
