I love this. It combines two wonderful things into one.

Went from a wedding for oldest daughter two weeks ago to young one breaking up with her boyfriend of a month. She discovered he was a nonbeliever. Middle daughter announced she has marital problems and that looks like a crash and burn too. What is the recipe for lemonade again?

I feel your pain having gone through some bad relationships with my own kids. No tragedy ending one that ended short of marriage due to irreconcilable differences. A marriage ending is always a tragedy though, and as much as we would like to fix it when these things happen, it is almost always out of our hands.

Mostly cloudy and 88 already and it's barely 10 AM. The problem with that is, they are predicting a high of 86.

Let's see. It's Monday. That means poker with Krispy Kreams. setting up not only the bar, but poker tables, moving bar tables to make room, stacking chips, making coffee etc. then breaking it all down and cleaning it up.
I'll be at the bar by 1PM and home 12 hours later.

Get your chips pre-stacked........

Was mid 60s this morning, has hovered around 60 all day. All I had to do was make a run to Stuff-Mart and make home made Fajitas tonight.......
Uuuummm, shoulda picked up some Pringles.......

I'm pretty sure it involves losta sugar.

It's so much easier when our kids are little and we can kiss the boo boos and they believe us when we say it will be all better. I think the best we can do is set the example to get through the trials in life by having faith that everything happens for a reason, and that even when we don't see it in the moment, it will work out for the best in the end. A positive attitude makes such a difference in successfully navigating those obstacles in life. Also, a hug if they're nearby, and letting them know that you love them helps make a difference as well. Sorry that you have to experience the pain of watching your children struggle in finding their happiness.

Really, because I was hoping it involved gin.

A good start to the work week. Pretty proud of young one making a hard, but mature decision on her boyfriend. Taking part of Wednesday off to watch Harper. Grandbaby number two may be on the way...

Still, there is that big hole where a son in law and happy daughter use to be.

 

[Noomi]

Went to the doctor just now. I have the flu. Five days before the sisters wedding. Been told that I can have anti virals, as its been less than 24 hours since the onset of symptoms, but I won't be 100% on the day. I may have to watch the ceremony and go to bed before the reception. Will have to see. What terrible luck.
And what an awful thing the flu is! Aches and pain everywhere, I couldn't sleep last night, tossed and turned and was nearly in tears with the pain.

If I'd had my flu shot I wouldn't have this!

 

[Noomi]

Good morning everybody. Hoping Deri and Sarah are both feeling better.

I was scrambling for the covers last night when the temps dropped just below 50 degree--the window is wide open in the bedroom--and it is only about 55 here now at10 a.m. We'll have some Indian summer days ahead yet for sure, but I think the 90+ degree days are behind us for this year.

So enjoying coffee and then will prepare a nice brunch for Hombre and me. Looking forward to a good weekend.

I prefer those nice warm days over the colder ones!

Cause nothing hurts us more than to see our kids hurting......I wish I could just absorb their pain. I'm thankful that I haven't had one of those phone calls in quite a long while, that you know is going to make you feel awful cause you can't make it better.

That only helps for a little while......

Why didn't you get your flu shot? It's just about time for us here in the states to start getting ours for this coming winter. Aren't you close to having Spring in Aussie land?

Work no longer provides them and they cost a fair bit to get them done at the doctors.

Hope everyone is having a good evening. I hate missing class!

Why is being a non believer a relationship ender? If she genuinely cares for the guy, it shouldn't matter what he believes.

 

[Statistikhengst]

Good morning, everyone. Wishing you all a good Tuesday.

 

[Ringel05]

Today is lumpectomy day for the wife. I noticed the search tag reads "no bra day"........ Nope, the doc said a good sports bra to minimize the jiggling for a few days.
