I saw your post on SS's thread...I'm so glad you liked it!! I thought everybody could use a little chuckle (at the expense of those trying to "find themselves) HAHA!

Hi Lala,

How you doing? Feeling any better? Motrin kick in yet?

You missed this before the edit... I wrote Woh you doing? Duh!!! LOL

Feelin a little better now, yes. Had my bubble bath, put in contacts, make-up, hair, etc (b4 DH called the Goddess police on me!) Plus, I cleaned the whole house earlier, so all that helped me quite a bit. I wish W2S was home with me, but I got my 2 cutie pies to keep me company! We're gonna go run around a little in a bit...need out of here for a while and have some grocery shopping to do. I want to have everything done so that we can hang out the next 2 days without a bunch of chores to do.

Think I'll get on later tonight and do an update after the boys go to bed.

Thanks for asking!!

Hi Lala,

How you feeling today? the Pain Ok?

hi lala.....i was bella5967...had to change my name my hubby comes on here at times and i no longer want to share with him.....hope all is well

All is great between W2S and me. I am struggling with depression, but we'll pull through. We are on the verge of bankruptcy, when a year ago we were doing GREAT financially. All because I was an idiot. So, once we pull out of that mess, I'm sure things will be fine.

I am so PROUD of you at how you are handling all this. You are such a strong woman, and I know you are going to be OK no matter what happens. He is a putz for doing what he is doing and hopefully soon he will wake up and realize that fact. And hopefully it'll be BEFORE you decide to kick him to the curb... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Lala, didn't you go get your meds yet? Or you still are having trouble with the insurance setup? You feeling better? Physically anyway?

Still waiting for insurance cards. Had a horrible night, but finally the motrin is working. It is worse than ever, though. I have the prescription, so tomorrow, I am going to call around and see what pharmacy will fill it for as little money as possible and then just pay for it myself. I cannot do this any longer.

We should have the cards this week or early next week. At that point, I can set up the appointment to get my AD or anxiety meds, whatever they think I should have. W2S and I came up with a financial plan to alleviate some of our debt and get caught up so the hound dogs quit calling 20 times a day. It will also get me much more involved in the business so that I can feel productive in our goals. We are determined to turn this around in one year. It is our New Year's Resolution. Along with taking off some weight!

It was so cute today, I got all dressed up-full make-up and hair- to go to his parents house for dinner. When I walked downstairs, my 3-year-old stopped what he was doing and said "mommy, you look bootiful!" I was so floored. Isn't it amazing what that can do for a spirit! The Goddesses were RIGHT!! (Of course W2S noticed and commented all night- he is always a sweetheart).

Hi Lala,

I guess that why you sounded somewhat down yourself yesterday. Feeling any better this morning? Thanks for the post on mine, but I was as surprise as you were... you'll see what I mean. I thought of it in the same manner as you did. The one point she did make that I didn't mention is that you want to go dark within the month.

Actually, a little worse. But the good news is, I found a pharmacy that will fill my script for $4! I wish I hadn't put it off for a week!

I'll check back in later. I have some phone calls to make to try and get the wolves to back away from the door for a bit. W2S is going to try and sell his car to give us some breathing room while we work on our plan. If that doesn't work, we'll probably have to declare bankruptcy in a couple months. Don't even want to think about this right now, but it has to be handled.

Have a great day!

Hey Lala-- Just wanted to check in and see how you were feeling/doing. I'm glad everything is going well R wise, but I hope that you feel better and your finances pick up!

Have a good day!

RIM

Thanks RIM, and I'm glad you had a good weekend. Just be cautiously optimistic, K? I don't want you to get hurt again.

I just got one collector off my back. The thing is, I did research over the weekend and found out that Home Equity lines of credit can foreclose on your home, even if the current mortgage is paid current. I had no idea (stupid me, I am usually really careful about reading everything I sign!) I just think it is awful the way these companies can steal your home from you. I know people like Hillary Clinton are trying to change the laws, but of course the corporate fat cats always get what they want in the long run.

At this point, we do have a plan, and selling his car will give us some breathing room to work the plan. I just hope it's enough...I really do. The thought of losing this home is unbearable to me. We got a fantastic deal on the house, and a great interest rate, plus our taxes are extremely cheap, and we are in a wonderful school district. To sell the house, even though it would pay off some debt, would be a terrible mistake. We would end up paying almost as much (with current interest rates and our credit going downhill) for a house half this size in a bad area. It's just not an option. Soooo, we have to do whatever is necessary to stay here.

Just such a bummer after where we were a year ago!!!

Hey everybody! Hope all are doing well!! Mrs W.-sorry to hear you are sick! I thought you had put all of us on PLAN B!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I'm just teasin ya...I hope you feel better! I did see your pic in the photo thread, and also the newer one from this summer. What a purdy bunch, you are!!! We should have ours up this week sometime. W2S just got the new computer hooked up today, so his project list is almost done!

I am writing because I just completely outed myself to my brother. He had to put his dog down this afternoon and he was really sad. They have had him for 12 years and he was like their child (they do not have any children). He has been sick for months, and they just couldn't let him go. I think they were hoping he would pass in his sleep or something. Putting a beloved animal down is very hard. So, we were talking for a while and he asked why we hadn't called or been down to visit (they are in SC, we are in OH). They had told my parents a few weeks ago when they went down to visit that they were really disappointed/hurt/offended that we hadn't called or come to see them. So, after we spoke for a while he asked me flat out what the deal was. I found myself telling him the whole story. Start to finish. I couldn't hardly talk through much of it because I was crying so hard. He was very quiet and let me get it all out and then he said that he loved me/us and that he hopes and will pray for us to have a better year. He is sch a good guy. I think now that Packer is gone, they will come visit all of us. They always took him on trips with them, and so they haven't gone anywhere in a couple years since he was too sick to travel. They wouldn't even think of leaving him at a kennel. I just felt it was really important for him to truly understand what we have gone through and why we haven't been communicative. It was very painful to talk about all of it again. I also told him about the smoking habit and how I had finally quit.

Whew, anyHOO, I just wanted to update everyone on where we are, and that things are really great between W2S and me. And to thank all of you (again) who have helped him and me get through this difficult time. I hope that those of you who are still mired in grief from it all can find strength in the fact that we have pulled through this. If my stubborn [censored] can finally wake up, anyone can! I'll never know (especially from reading the pain that BSs go through on this site) how W2S stuck by me through all those months. He is my hero.

He's mine too! Both of you are!!!

How's are you? Pain tolerable today? Not too down after speaking to your bro? (It's liberating isn't it, I told my folks over the phone right in from of WW, because I had told her I would because we had told her folks).

LMAO! No Plan B, just "Plan Poor Me"! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Thank you for the well wishes and the compliments on our pics...Can't wait to see yours! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm very glad that your brother was so understanding, and I'm proud of you for putting yourself out there like that! That takes guts and shows just how far along that you are, imo...

Mrs. W

Thanks! It was kinda liberating, but depressing all at the same time, ya know.

I'm a little irritated right now, though. W2S's aunt is getting under my skin. She is not a nice person, and she has barely spoken to us in the 13 years that we've been together. Even when we see her at family functions she barely speaks. She has gone as far as giving DH's sister's kids Christmas presents and not our children right in front of us. Honestly, we couldn't care less, but just to give you an idea of what a PILL she is. Anyways, this Christmas, she made all of the kids blankets with their names on them. They are really cool...but I smelled a rat! And now I know what it is...she makes bean sacks for a game called corn hole, or whatever it is (outdoor game where you throw these sacks at a board with a hole in it). Apparently, these sets of sacks are sold for like $20-30, and she can make them for $2. So, she got it in her head that DH can build her a web site so she can sell the sacks. His F makes the actual boards, and has asked us to build the site as soon as he can figure out a place big enough to make them, so we've been waiting on him to be ready...ANYWAYS...she has called us 4+ times a day for the last week and a half. We know what she wants, but she will not stop calling. I have spoken to her, told her that DH is very busy and basically is working 80 hrs a week between his job and HIS business, and that he will call her back when he gets a chance. She has called 4x today...at one point she called, hung up and called right back. Honest to God, if I answer that phone, I'm gonna tell her where she can stick those sacks ya'll. It amazes me that this woman thinks that now that she has figured out a way for US to make HER money, that she has the right to call our house and harrass us multiple times a day. Are people really this self righteous? I feel like answering the phone and saying "what was your name, again?"

Ugh...sorry, just had to get that off my chest! (cleansing breath...ahhhh...moment of ZEN)

TMTS-the pain is much better today, although I am a little sore right now. I think the meds are finally kicking in. Thanks for asking!

ROTFLMAO!!! My F plays this at the seniors club on Sunday afternoons. I did the mistake of joking around when they were playing... well you want to get a bunch of retired poeple going, make a joke about their little pouches!!!

I'm glad you're feeling better. Say hi to hubby for me and let him know that I'm out of the funk.
Actually the weekend went really well.

I will, although I'm sure he's LURKING from work (caughtcha!!)

Hey... get to work bud. LOL
