Got up early and took some DVD’s back and ran a few errands before it gets too hot here.  Hubby came home early from work, Saturday is a slow day.  I wasn’t too happy to see him.  I don’t have any feelings towards him anymore.  His drinking and lack of consideration towards me or anyone has done a number on me.  I care about him as a human being but I don’t have any intimate feeling towards him.  It is like living with a roommate.  I finally said it, I have been holding this in for sometime now.  Wow, it feels great to say how I really feel.  Tomorrow, I am going to spend the day with my Sister and oldest Nephew. Maybe we can go out for lunch.  My diet hasn’t been too successful, one day I’m good the next day I blow it!!! I haven’t been able to go to Curve’s for 3 weeks as I have been watching my Grandson while his parents work.  Monday, I will start back on my exercising regime.  I know that will get me motivated and hopefully I can stay on course. I have tons of gambling urges today!!!  I am trying soo hard not to act on them.  I need to stay busy and remember the aftermath of gambling.  Take care everyone!!Seize all the good things in life

Glad to see the site is up and running again!!!  I spent the day with my Grandson. He is starting 1st grade on Monday, how exciting.  The time is flying by way too fast!!!  Tired, going to bed soon.  Hope everyone had a great gamble free day!!Seize all the good things in life

I had a good day with my Grandson. We went out for lunch, pizza, and played games there.  He is starting school on Monday.  It is soo hot here it’s hard to be out there too long.  Trying to find things to do inside.  Said NO again to my Daughter today.  She wanted me to bring my Grandson home when she got home from work, as she had a long day and was tired. It was rush hour time and she lives a good 25 mins from me.  I told her to pick him up on her way home.  She only had to get off the freeway and go 10 mins out of her way.  Hey, it felt good saying NO!  Guess what, I was tired too!! Being the people pleaser, letting others walk all over me is going to stop.  Yeah!!!  Hope everyone had a great gamble free day!!Seize all the good things in life

Went to my Grandson’s school’s open house this afternoon with his Parents.  I like his teacher, she seems very caring and kind.  This is a new school for him and I really liked it.  He starts on Monday, so we have a few days to spend some time together doing fun stuff.  Everyone had dinner at our house.  I can’t wait for summer to be over as it was 115% here today.  Way too hot!!  Going to bed, tired.  Hope everyone had a great gamble free day!!!  Take care!!!Seize all the good things in life

I am having trouble sleeping.  I am soo filled with anger right now!!  To make a long story short, my Hubby is friends with the man who is leasing the condo next door to us.  The man upstairs from us has just recently got on the board (HOA), and it has gone to his head.  He has it out for our next door neighbor, don’t know why. And he started a nasty rumur about him. I stood up for the guy as I know he is *****. So, because of me standing up for him and my Husband being friends with him, he and his wife are no longer talking to us.  I am fine with that because the guy is arrogant and insulting.  But he has a son 2 years older than my Grandson and they like to play together.  Well, now he is not letting his child play with him. I tried to explain to my little guy that sometimes adults act more like children that children do.  Anyways, it’s a bad situation. Why do people have to act soo crazy??  It’s just hurting the children.  I need to release this anger and move on.  Thanks for listening and if you have any suggestions about how to handle this situation please feel free to post!!!Seize all the good things in life

Wow, I slept real good last night.  Yeah, I’ve had some sleepless nights lately.  I am going to do some shopping today.  It looks like we are going to have some rain.  Nothing else going on here. I hope everyone has a great gamble free day!!Seize all the good things in life

Thanks Carole!!!  I totally agree and get what you are saying. We all have to make our own choices. I feel like I have been protecting my Grandson all of his life. And that will not stop. I have been enabling her in ways, and I can stop that.  I feel I must and this is the time to for me to start. I am off to a slow start this morning.  Need to get some things done around here.  Need more caffine!!LOL!!!  Have a good gamble free day everyone!!Seize all the good things in life

 I told her no. Carole, she wanted to have a night out with her friends. I watched him last Friday night so she could go out. So, my Grandson’s Dad showed up to pick him up this afternoon.  It’s not that I don’t want him here, it’s that she should be spending time with him. I am tired!!!  She is a complusive shopper, that’s why she isn’t saving any money.  She has a 2 bedroom apt full (and I mean FULL). She also has a storage unit (big) full of stuff. She would never let my Grandson live here as she would feel like she has lost control.  She has been going to councelling for a long time.  When she is angry, I hear that everything that has been wrong in her life is my fault.  I don’t think I was a perfect Mom.  I was a young Mom, 19 years old. But I always tried to do my best!!!  Anyways, he was glad to see his Dad.  They had a early dinner here and we played a few board games before they left.  He told me that he would see me tomorrow.  I had to tell him that it was the weekend and Mom and Dad were off, so I would see him on Monday.  I am soo tired of him being in the middle of her mess!!!!  I am mentally drained and I need to vegg the rest of today.  Tomorrow I will get the condo back into order and clean while Hubby is at work.  Didn’t mean to rant soo much.  Hope everyone has a great gamble free day!!  Take care!!!Seize all the good things in life

OMG!  Daughter just text me, can my Grandson spent tomorrow night with me?  After what she did this evening? No apologies!!  I am not going to answer.  Something is wrong with this picture!!! Seize all the good things in life

Well Carole, I blew up today.  My Daughter and I got into a big one.  The private school my Grandson got into isn’t all that she thought it was.  Both her and my son-in-law are big procrastinators.  They waited until one week till school starts to find a school for him.  I recommended a school in our neighborhood that I was told about from another Grandparent and I asked her 3 months ago to look into charter schools.  They are state ran, free, small classes, and some are highly recommended.  She never listened.  Now she tried to blame me for the whole school fiasco.  What the heck???  I told her that she dropped the ball and to stop blaming me for all the things that go wrong in her life.  I honestly don’t think that I can have her live with me.  I think that she ***** to seek some help for her bi-polar issues.  My poor Grandson is stuck in the middle of this!!!  I really wanted to eat a gallon of ice cream this evening!!  LOL!!! I have the worst headache right now.  I have to deal with her to see my Grandson.  Oh boy!!!  Hoping that everyone has a great gamble free day!!!Seize all the good things in life

Doing well on my diet, 4 days now.  Grandson and I are going to a new bookstore today, then to Michaels to get some new crafts to do.  Maybe Mcdonalds for lunch, I can get a salad.  LOL!!!  We had to cut out the Wii for awhile as he is getting soo obsessed with it.  Isn’t it strange how addicted we can get to things even as a child?  I was limiting his time playing and we have always been careful to what he has watched on TV and he can’t watch it for more than 2 hours daily.  He told me that he thought he was addicted to it!!! From the mouths of babes!! So we will do some craft things and work on his Lego ship he picked out while we were on vacation.  Going to get myself together so we can get out and about before it gets too hot!!  Hope everyone has a great gamble free day!!Seize all the good things in life

Woke up early, can’t sleep. Grandson is asleep and Hubby just left for work. Hubby has his compression stockings now and is wearing one on the left leg where the stents were placed.  He wore it all yesterday and when he took it off before bed, the swelling was gone.  He is feeling better.  Yesterday he went out to lunch to Mcdonalds with Grandson and I.  A big shocker as he doesn’t ever want to go anywhere. Grandson was soo happy. Nothing going on here.  We did have a nice storm yesterday afternoon.  But it has been real humid here, so we are staying inside alot.  I bought a new book," Chicken soup for the Soul, Shaping the new you,".  I need some motivation as I started dieting yesterday.  I am going to lose this 25lbs. Another lifestyle change!!!  I hope everyone has a great gamble free day!!!  Going to lay down and see if I can go back to sleep.  Take care!!Seize all the good things in life
