I woke up this morning thinking that it was Friday. I even turned off my alarm so that it wouldn't go off on the weekend!! Then... reality sunk in and I remembered that it was Thursday. I slowly made way back to my bedroom and turned my alarm back on. Bummer.
I either have a nasty cold or a sinus infection. There are a lot of teachers at work that have this crud, too. They are saying that it is a sinus infection. I didn't think that sinus infections were contagious.
Today is the day that I go to see my Care Receiver. Last week, we talked about going to the movies together. She and I both want to see the movie.... "The Help". I told her that I would take her, if she was feeling up to it. I tried to call her yesterday, but did not get ahold of her. I left a message for her to call me, but never heard back from her. This is typical for her, but I am a "planner" and would like to know if we are going to the movies, or not. My only option is to call her like I normally do, this afternoon, after work. The movie times are not until late in the afternoon... 4:05 & 4:20. So, I am not sure if it will work out for us to go or not. I wish I knew.
Something is going on with Ashley and I don't know what. She is avoiding being at home and when she is home.... she doesn't say much and has been staying in her room. She has been spending a lot of time with her new "friend"... (a guy). I have no problem with that, but I wish she would spend some time with us, as well. Or at least TALK to us! I'm not sure how to handle it.
She and Miranda are so different. Miranda is very outgoing, energetic, open, and fun to hang out with. Ashley is more reserved, quiet, serious, and keeps to herself. She always has me wondering..."What's going on with her?". With Miranda... I usually know because she will talk to me.
I have so much going thru my brain right now. My head feels like it is spinning!
I am getting out my old Weight Watcher's stuff this morning and giving it a try.
Hello Becky,
ReplyDeleteBecause I'm around Ashley's age the only suggestion I have for you is to just ask her in a non threatening way (over coffee or something just the two of you) if things are going ok. Reassure her that you are always there if she wants to talk to you about anything. Sometimes meddling in those things to much only pushes them away. My guess is she is probably interested in this gentlemen just doesn't want to introduce him as her boyfriend until she knows where its going. I bet having a mom like you, she is a confident young woman, but she will always know that your advice is valuable when she needs it. You're a great mom!
I'm pretty sure that my relationship with my mother changed for the worse when she always felt that I needed to hear her (almost always HARSH) opinion about my relationships with boys. Eventually, no advice was better then what she had to say.
Things will be ok. I'm glad to hear that your getting back into the work out spirit. You look great in your vacation photos! I want to do weight watchers too, but after the $40 a month Y pass... weight watchers doesn't seem so important to me. I've had moments of weakness! I haven't really lost a lot of weight in the last three months, but I can see toning in my arms and legs again. My stomach somedays looks good, then like this week (thanks to mother natures monthly gift) I feel and look fat and bloated. Joys of being female!
I hope your doing alright! I can't wait to see your table scape. When you feel like doing a Wyoming tribute let me know, I'll mail you some stuff, lol!!!
Well, at least you were only a day off instead of a couple of days off. I didn't even know that you ever "slept in", thought you were always up with the chickens!
ReplyDeleteHope you get to go to the movies, that's one I want to see to. I like to plan ahead too, but sometimes we just have to wing it.
I do understand what you are going through with Ashley, I have 2 opposites also as you know. One will tell me absolutely everything, sometimes too much info. the other, keeps to himself and only tells us what he thinks we "need" to know. Wade and I fully expect him to come up to us one day and say "oh, by the way I'm getting married tomorrow if you want to come?" And us saying "What?, who? we didn't know you were serious with anyone?" I know it's hard, but just be patient and know that if she needs you, she knows you there for her. Can you imagine if her and Michael got together? We'd never know anything!
Glad you are going back to your weight watchers stuff, I know you can do it.
Hi Heather -- I appreciate your comments more than you will know. --- I'm sending you an email! :)
ReplyDeleteDiana -- "Sleeping in" for me is just sleeping until about 6am, instead of 5am!! LOL!!! - No, I did not get to the movie. My CR had another doctor's appt. She will probably have to have back surgery :( She is NOT happy about it! -- haha... I can see Michael telling you that someday!! Ashley tell me a little sooner than that... but, not much! -- Thanks for your support! We'll see how it goes!
