Now that my company has banned TOC, as well as just about every other thing on the internet, I thought I'd pop in to say hello. I have some updates.

MIL is still home in hospice care. She has declined greatly this week, even walking upstairs (she's confined to a hospital bed in her living room) to tell my FIL that he needed to get her clothes together, she had a meeting to go to. She hasn't worked in years. She's on so much morphine now, I just hope her soul is in a happier place until her body gives out. She is sleeping a lot but doesn't make any sense when she is awake.

MDH goes into surgery for his knee on Friday. They're adding more cartilage, a cadaver tendon and shaving his femur. I don't know who needs more jingles, him for the pain, or me for having to care for a guy in pain. HE can barely survive a cold. I might be driven to take his pain killers. :innocent: ;)

In other news, I'm still horseless. Oh wait, that's not news.

Duffy is up on the bed with me while I type. So here's a moment of Corgi cuteness captured on my MacBook...

Well, that's it for me. Actually it isn't, there is more. I found out yesterday that my brother was thrown into jail for 6 days. :mallet: Please understand, if there was ever a black sheep of the family, he is it. He's been hooked on cocaine for years and refuses to get help. Well, until he was thrown in jail (for outstanding traffic warrants....as the story goes). Apparently, he's found God and as he put it to me "had a memory for the first time in years." We NEVER talk. He called me yesterday in tears, apologizing for all of the lies and years of crap. I don't know if I should believe him. We've been down this road before. My mom gave me the news about jail before he called me, and I shut her down. I told her it's the same song and dance, and he's just pulling this latest move to avoid being kicked out of the HOUSE THEY BOUGHT FOR HIM. I can't even go into that...talk about enabling. The conversation basically ended up with mom hanging up on me.

So even though my post is all over the board, I have taken the position that if this part of my life doesn't kill me, I can survive anything. Did I mention I'm also job hunting (while employed) and have been seeing a fertility specialist? :sigh: Somewhere among all of this I am vending at dog shows for the Abel Pet business and competing Duffy, as well as Divot.

Will there be breaking point, or am I simply the bionic woman? I had an emotional breakdown the other week, but I know realize it was the clomid that made me certifiably insane and an emotional train wreck. That made PMS look like a piece of cake.

Sorry to ramble. I hate not being involved in the day to day fun TOC threads. Hope everyone is well!

Lots of :hug: and :jingles:

I have a brother that was the same for years. He now has this sh!! together, has his own business and is doing well. Not rich but pays his bills and money left over in the bank each month. Now when I say tha same I mean tell he was 35 spent more time in jail then out. Accept his apologize because it could very well be true, just don't trust him tell he proves himself.

As to very thing else Hun I am so sorry you are going through all this and not having your down time on here to get throught the day can be hard, just understnad that we are all here for you. You can email me if you would like to vent when you are at work or just talk about horses or what is going on. haveitgotit @ hotmail. com

OH ELON!


Enormous HUGS to you :hug: :hug: :hug:

Take a corgi or two and go for a walk - somewhere where the sun will warm you like a mother's hug and a LIGHT breeze will kiss your cheek.

Doing that always seems to lift my spirits a little especially during my really really dark days when the world was upside down and I couldn't see a way out of my situation.

Here's to you Elon, our own super duper gazillion dollar bionic woman!

What a full plate, girl! Aside from sending hugs :hug: , BIG positive vibes :woot: and TONS of Jingles :jingles: , all I can say is DO be sure you don't crash yourself out!

I totally get what that Clomid can do to you...my best gal pal used it and I saw the situation from her experience...don't underestimate the stress that fertility drugs may cause you in addition to allllll that other load!

PLEASE take care of YOU, too! WE LOF YOU!!! :o

We've missed you!! :hug:
:jingles: for your mother-in-law. It must be so emotionally taxing on all of you guys. :hug:
And :jingles: for your dear husband. Try not to take TOO many of his pain meds.

Clomid can be rough. Don't know from personal experience, just from what I saw and heard working at the pharmacy. Good luck though! :luck:

Good for you, keep yourself busy. Duffy looks like he's good to talk to and we are always here when you can get on. :hug:
