Oh Hope - I'll post just for you... Girl. I understand COMPLETELY. For me, last year, it was a parrot - my cockatiel of 14 years died suddenly and I was bereft. I badgered hubby until we spent a ridiculous amount of money on an African Grey... I was SO excited to bring him home... three days. Three days of fear, guilt, tears, tantrums and hysteria. He went back to the store. I was a basket case.

See your doctor - you never know what might 'click' as the right 'help'.

Thinking of you, hon
Heather

Thank you so much Heather. I read your post last night before I went to bed and it helped make me feel better. I told my fiance about it too. Your story and a couple of others are making me feel like I'm not the only one who ever had this happen. I'm sure this will pass and hope soon b/c I know I'm a good pet parent and so many pets need a home.

Not much going on today. I'm washing some of the pet bedding and toys so I can pack them away for later. I guess I'll do some more laundry after that. I need to get my suits ready for the tailor to shorten. Oh, and I need to do my bills. That sounds like such an exciting day doesn't it?

Buddly: Any garden left after the critters have visited? What's going on with you?

Heather: Thinking about you and your situation at home. I hope you get some peace and resolution soon either way. Keep lurking and thanks again for the post.

Leenie and others: Still busy? Have a great day ladies!

Thanks, Jo

Things are difficult - it is the worst feeling in the world, not being wanted by the man I've spent fifteen years with. I know I'll get through this, I just don't know how yet.

Thanks for the thoughts, all

Heather

Good afternoon all,

Homebound: I will say a prayer and hope they find the problem. Let us know what is going on.

Heather: I know how this must be bothering you. It's hard not knowing you that well and your hubby at all, but maybe it is as you say not him rejecting you, but the new Heather that he can't put down or boss around anymore. I know you've done a lot of changing recently, wow 65lbs. That drastic of a loss will definitely change you. When I lost 55lbs in the past I was a different person, better I would say. I was more outgoing and more hopeful for the future, and more compassionate even, and probably less willing to be put down or mistreated than before. I'm not saying he is a bad person at all, but we get into a groove of how we treat certain people and we expect them to act a certain way, whether it's good for them or not. Now you are probably acting differently, taking care of yourself and taking more time for yourself. Maybe he sees it as neglecting him or is afraid of you pulling away. Like I said I'm just guessing since I don't know the details. All I know is if somebody cares for you, your self improvement should make them happy. The place where you are now is the worst, but after it is over either way I think you will be relieved and ready for an exciting, hopeful, and healthy life.

OK, now I have to do the bills I mentioned how many days ago? and get the pants to the tailor.

It's somebody else's turn to ramble on now! Where are y'all hiding?

Hi Girls,

I'm going nuts at work, sorry I can't catch up today but I'll be here tomorrow morning to read up on you all. Please know that there isn't a day where you all aren't in my prayers. I think about you and love you all.

Good Morning, Happy Saturday

Joanne, good luck with your xrays. When do you get the results back? You know you can count on my prayers

Hope I'm so sorry to hear about your panic attack, it sounds like you just were not ready for the new pups and thats okay dolly, better you find out now then later. Just take it slow and I agree with you about going to your doctor. Your heart is in the right place

Heather, I can't imagine what you are going through so I can't offer any advice.....but what I can say is we love you here...it might be cyber but I have no doubt if we were standing in the same room with you, you'd be getting lots and lots of hugs right now. I think talking about it will help you realize your not alone and you are loved.

Where's miss Cathy been and Miss Buddly we miss you.

How's everyone today?

Good Morning everyone

We got back from our holidays Thursday afternoon. It was a really nice trip and we had a good visit with both sets of parents. The girls had a blast at the anime convention and the costumes must have been good enough as they had their picture taken a lot. Last Sunday was my dad's Model A Car Club annual picnic at his place. A was his partner again in the car games and they won a prize for one of the events, so that was rather neat. (All be it I think they should have got more points on a different event, she roped the "calf", just because it was the tail end it should have counted!!) While we were at hubby's parents place we got to go and spend time down by the lake in a lovely park. It was so relaxing.
But now its back to the disaster we call home. There is just so much clutter around here, sometimes I wish I could get a huge dumpster parked outside the sliding glass doors and just shovel! Oh well, just use Flylady's 15 minutes at a time and things will change.
The moose has been back and had another meal. I think we may have to put up a fence next year. At least the rabbits have left my beet tops alone this year! (Leenie, to answer your question, if the moose has a calf she can be dangerous, just like mommie bears, but this moose has been around here for so many years I don't think she sees us as much of a threat. One morning going to the bus there was the mom and two older calves and she just watched us and then left, we of course stayed well away and let her know we were around)


Hope, I'm so sorry to hear about your panic attacks I know you will be able to adopt when you are ready. Maybe this time was just to soon and to much at once. It will happen.

Heather take care of yourself.

Sassy, I'm glad you are safe after your scare. Sounds fishy that the outside light was out, but not burnt out. Stay safe!

Joanne I hope your tests turn out fine and everything gets sorted out.

leenie, the party sounds like fun. I'm not sure about sticky heat tho All be it we were officially at 2*C (35*F) this morning. I guess I better call the furnace guy and get our furnace fixed soon, sounds like we might be needing it!!

Anyway I better get a move on here, the floor needs to be washed as the dog has been tracking mud in for a bit now. ( I'm also thinking of shaving the dog to help the mud tracking problem)

Take care everyone,
K
