Same here, we recently lost a close member of our family, left behind three young children, we are still struggling especially spouse and kids.. also medical issues with a member of my family and husband heart scare. Im so over 2024. Sorry for being so doom and gloom. The loss was such a shock.
On a happier note, how’s your little boy. I know not so little anymore.
I'm so sorry you guys are having a rough year. My son's leg pain continues which is hurting his mentality, but he's hanging in there. We meet with the surgeon tomorrow to see what he has to say and hopefully get a surgery date. And pray that works. Nothing has worked yet and he's had it over a year. So yeah, 2024 can end, but hopefully on a high note. And I'll be glad when this election is over and I stop getting political texts.

No apologies necessary. It's hard to deal with a sudden loss. I'm still having trouble accepting that my mother is actually gone. I've accepted that she's dead. It's the suddenness I'm struggling with. We visited her and she was so vibrant and full of life then THAT phone call in the wee hours two days later. My brain doesn't want to accept it.
DS is a tweenage sourpuss a lot of the time lately. He's joined the running club at school and is having fun with that.
Hope things are well for you other than the crappy stuff and that 2025 is much brighter *hugs*

I hope today's appointment brings wanted answers for you and your son. Chronic pain is a beast.
I hate the political trash that clogs up my po box. I block the calls and texts but can't block the flyers. I did try sending a note to the addresses on the flyers to tell them to take us off the list but it did no good. Methinks next season (barf!), I'll drive to the address listed on the flyer and let hubby go in and tell 'em to knock it off. I don't care which candidate you're advertising, I don't want your junk!

Yes, the shock is so hard, you feel like you didn’t have that closure, to say goodbye.. chef you saw her when she was so happy, you made her happy that day, I bet she would have rather be remembered being happy and To enjoy being with you .. you were there for her, she would want you to remember her smiling and happy. She knew you loved her.. grief takes time and it’s Ok, someday you will be able to remember her a smile. You will find yourself telling funny stories about her, the little things she done for you and not just the big things. I usefully cook my favorite food my mom would make for me when I miss her. if. I’m sick I would make the soup she made for me.. remember she got to enjoy your company and as a mother myself, she would rather you remember her that way.. she knows you love her

Tell me about it. He's going to be 11 next month and is full of turditude. Most days are good but some days I want to wring his neck. He seems to think that he is in charge. He is not. He absolutely hates it when I mom stare at him. Good. "Stop staring at me!" he says. "Fix your behavior. Now." He has yet to cotton on to the fact that I will outstubborn him. He also has yet to cotton on to the fact that even though I definitely expect him to comport himself correctly, he has a far longer leash than kids his age because I know what he's capable of. I know what skills he has and where/when I can trust him. I worked hard to instill those things and turn him into a capable young man. I remind him of the things he gets to do that other kids his age don't when he gets offended over the rules he has.
I learned this in Bible study a few months back and I've been using it on him: He is to obey right away, the right way, all the way. He's tired of hearing it but it's starting to sink it. I expect proper behavior NOW, not when he decides to behave. The right way is the Biblical way. All the way is behaving correctly and wholeheartedly, not just putting on a show.
It is never dull, I have no idea what sopro was supposed to be, somehow either my fingers touched the wrong keys, or what. Supposed to be fun.
No worries :)
I have a friend who makes such frequent typos when messaging me that I've told him he has own language - (name)ese. It gets way worse when he uses voice-to-text or Android auto to message. I'm so used to it that my brain skips over his typos.
Annoyingly though, if I make a typo, he can't figure out what I mean even when it's very, very obvious - such as I type 'the big apple tre' instead of 'the big apple tree' ... stuff like that.
I know everyone is busy cooking today, just want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! Also my husband’s and I wedding anniversary, married 44 years ago today.
