TGIF...Morning FMily....MiMi in NC...boy has it been a week for me...no joke...a lot going on here...just when I thought nothing else could happen...well...I need to *forget this notion*...as one never knows when something might happen that you never expected ...seems like other people have nothing better to do...what makes people do things to other people? I have no idea...my daughter was served with papers to go to court and she had no idea why...seems like someone she went to school with decided to bring charges against her and she had no idea why...she had to hire an attorney and the person who did this...did not even show up in court...there are so many people who have no idea what problems and expenses are created by stupid things that they do...
My son requested a copy of his daughter's school records...and was told that he needed an attorney before the school would release them...so I scanned in paperwork that he had and suggested to him that he email them a copy of what he had...the school's attorney then contacted him and needed additional information about my granddaughter...we still do not know what is going on there...I am thinking that perhaps the ex did not provide information concerning Gretchen's dad on the registration when she entered school...as we all know there are so many *single parents* these days...so I am sure this is hard for schools to deal with..
Interesting week though that I have had...too much for me to actually enjoy it..
Here is hoping everyone else had a good week...
It is going to be a wet day here...with showers off and on.
Some of the schools started back to school this week with more to follow...I am sure some children are really excited about returning...I remember this was a big deal when I was young...always looked forward to seeing my old friends and of course there were always new friends who started as well.
The newness wore off soon though...and when Christmas break arrived I was always ready for this.
Welcome to the new members...on Fridays we have Roll Call and hope everyone will post on Fridays to let us know who things are going with you.
Vitamin D....as always I do want to remind everyone just how important this might be for you also...ask your doctor to check your level...low Vitamin D can cause pain for some of us...and it can also affect other illnesses as well.
I hope everyone will have a good Friday....
That's my story and I'm sticking to it...

Good morning! Happy Friday!
Mimi .... yikes, you have had a wild week! Let's hope next week isn't as crazy! I'm sure not knowing exactly what's going on is very stressful.
My issue this week continues to be very poor sleep - worse than usual. Typically after I have a few bad nights, I'll get a decent night of sleep. That hasn't happened this week - every night has been poor sleep. Really feeling it all over. Arms didn't want to wash my hair this morning.
Fortunately, it will be a quiet weekend and I have a 3-day weekend at that. Taking off Monday from work.
Wishing everyone a great Friday and weekend - and GOOD sleep!

TGIF!
It's hot and humid in southeastern Mass. We had a good vacation, celebrated out 29th anniversary, and enjoyed the white Mountains of New Hampshire. I don't feel like I'm "old enough: to be married for so long, but there it is.
Why does it feel like I need a vacation after cleaning up the aftermath of the last vacation? I had 150 emails to get through, and it took all day yesterday
Wow Mimi, I'm sorry these things keep happening. I keep praying that the stuff with your son goes away. It's sad that some women (and it mostly is women) feel they should use their kids as weapons against their exes. I have an exSIL who did this, now my brother's youngest son won't speak to him, calls him all sorts of names. If it helps, this same exSIL and her new hubby have just fir led Ch 7 bankruptcy. Sometimes what goes around comes around, and I hope it does for your son's ex.
Teelady1: I hate when sleep won't come. You know you're tired, but something says "hey lets stay awake and mess with her!" And just when you think you're dozing off... BAM! I hope you get the sleep you need -and soon!
I wish everyone the best weekend you can possibly have!

Hi Mimi!
We are having heavy thunderstorms this afternoon and tonight, and we are under our fourth flood watch in less than two weeks, omg. What is going on with the weather this year?? It's been more like the tropics lately, especially with the humidity. Today the temperature is the same inside and out, and there is no air moving anywhere. My body really hates this weather!
Yesterday was SO busy---first thing in the morning I had my interview for temporary disability. I answered questions nonstop for almost 40 minutes..Then I took Husband to lunch for our anniversary (our 4th as a married couple). After that we had to go shopping for one DIL and our middle GC, who, at 11, has just had knee surgery. Then we dropped off the DIL's gift and visited with the GD for several hours. We stopped at the market on the way home because Husband was too tired to cook. It was the most walking I'd done since I got hurt and I was worn out.
Today my entire body hurts and I'm really dragging...I got very little sleep even though I was so tired. The humidity made things very uncomfortable, and Husband was restless because he slept without his CPAP mask (he thought it was broken). He was kicking, twitching, tossing and turning for the entire night, and every time he shifted position he would bump into me and wake me up. So it was a hard night for both of us.
Today Husband is off at SIL's garage, getting my van fixed. A caliper went bad, and it wrecked the brake and the rotor---you could hear the screeching 100 yards away. The brake pad also caught fire and melted, and all that was left was the metal. SIL:, bless him, said not to worry about the money, thank God...He knows we are really struggling right now.
I was out on the deck this morning for a while. Now I'm in because the storms have rolled in, and they are impressive. We have one coming in now, so I'll have to get offline soon...Our last one dumped tons of rain, and there was one frighteningly close lightning strike that hit a tree just 30 feet from the house. The crack was both blinding and deafening, and I could actually smell the ozone. The poor terrified cat ran and hid somewhere, and I haven't seen her since. She really hates loud storms now that she's gotten older. I confess it scared me too...it sounded like an explosion, and it was so sudden I jumped.
It's so quiet here with Husband out...I think I'm going to go curl up on the bed in front of the fan, do some crocheting, and maybe take a little nap. The heavy rain is starting again, and I'm having trouble keeping my eyes open. Hope everyone's having a good Friday!

Afternoon all
Mimi...so so sorry to hear about the problems your daughter had..Was it caused by your son's ex?? So weird..I hope the cops charge the person with filing a false report...crazy..
And sure hope your son gets on his daughter's records at school..what a pain...
Looks like there is bad weather everywhere...hope everyone is ok..It is definitely hot and muggy here...I am not doing too much..it has been a crazy week though.
We took my DH's car in to be fixed on Wed...and then mine on Thursday..I needed new brakes..and when we went to pick up mine, the check engine light on DH's car went on..so left it..ugh, I hate all this..
Then had to go to dentist this week over a broken tooth..and will need a crown there..more money out the door..
I have been trying to do some weight lifting exercises to build up my muscles..and ugh..not going well. I have been so sore..really trying to get them stronger..but so hard with fibro..they just really really hurt...so taking a couple of days off while cars are being fixed isn't a bad idea anyway..
DH is off for a job interview today. It is about an hour and a half north of us..but would be so good to get something...we really need the health insurance and such...as much as just the money..so keep your fingers crossed..
I have just one week until my job starts again...just three hours per day...but I keep hoping it will work into more.
