I havent been doing much on here lately due to so much going on right now you know how it is when everything is going on at once and you havent the energy,time, or money to keep up.Agra has been packing all week. I really think most of my stress is due to money. She kept saying, before i moved, that i wouldnt need much, so i left my dishes, furniture, etc. now, in order to get rid of her, shes taking all that and i have to replace everything she talked me into getting rid of. then, theres my EX son in law. he is not paying me and now, i am having to take him to court. more things on my plate. uuugghh! then my little dog is getting allergies again. I dont even want to know whats coming next.AND thats not even everything. it would take to much to put it all here.yesterday I even had another freaking birthday 62 yrs. Did you ever feel like the world is coming down on you even when you have something to celebrate?

Oh, Ya! Comes from experience and knowing what is in store. And just being put out with the situation at hand. And sometimes I get uptight just wanting the normal back.

i guess we all feel sometimes that the world is closing in on us but we hang in we will make it though until the next time the Lord will not put more on us that we can handle so keep the faith

Happy Birthday!! Yep, about twice a year everything piles on at once but that's not nearly so bad as one trouble at a time that never ends. I've had both and I prefer the pile on! I hope things straighten out for you and you have some peace for a little while.

I am sorry you are having so many problems right now. I know that once she does get moved out you will feel much better! I would shop at thrift stores for the items you will be needing or pick them up at the Dollar Store. Just get one or two plates, forks, spoons, etc at a time. I hope things will get much better for you soon!

I am really sorry to hear all of this. But I do wish you a happy belated birthday. Maybe some friends or family will help out with a few dishes till you will be able to get some. I have felt like this many many many times but in the end I survive and that is what counts I guess.. it is a hellish road to walk down..but maybe in the end it is for the best.

It is never good to just stay with someone because of possessions..they can always be rebought or helped in getting more..only thing I would want would be pictures,trinkets,and a few clothes..if I ever had to move.

Sorry to hear that..But that is a crock how they could do that to her...I don't think that she should have been separated from her kids just because she walked out of a troublesome relationship.

yes thats true. we dont have much family here but we both think its worth a little inconvenience for the peace. my daughter in florida that i've worried about, the one thats ex owes me, walked out with just her clothes and a few things, even left furniture, dishes, all that and that a$$ changed the locks and hasnt let her come get anything. she didnt have a lawyer on her court date, no family there either to help (court day was my birthday) so, she told me he had a lawyer and got the kids and shes supposed to pay 300 a month child support which she dont have! thats a lot of my stress to.

It sucks to have to replace everything again but you could look at it this way. Now you get to go shop for some exciting new colors and maybe start your own new style in your kitchen. Slowly but surely you will build things back up again. I'm sure you still have some garage sales you can still hit before winter sets in. Just remember when one door closes another one opens.

Sorry to hear life is so stressful right now. I know what you mean. They always say "when life hands you lemons make lemonaide" that my friend is always easier said than done. Especially when the juicer / money is just not in the cards for you. I hope things will work themselves out. Do what you need to do. We understand things in the real world take greater presidence over the cyber one. Take Care of yourself, try not to stress out too much. :0)

Hey bunny! WTF? She's moving out? When did this happen and why aren't you doing the happy dance even though you won't have furniture to sit on or dishes to eat off of? Or is that the reason? I'm sorry, I just thought that this would be the answer to your prayers! So what happened? I think we are missing a big part of the story or at least I am if you told it! So slow down a bit please and start from the part where she is moving out and what the hell happened? And don't worry about the dishes and furniture because that will all be worked out in time!
@bunnybon7 (50973)

I KNOW!! isnt it just silly of me? yes, i feel like the happy dance when i think of how much less stress there will be here. especially for son. Well, the last time she was upset at me because i was asking my son why she didnt put in on her 3rd of the electric bill. she ran into the room and started saying the deal was since she dont get as much money as me on disability. she would cook and clean to cover her part. shes NOT disabled. dont know how she got it. she puts my sons clothes in the washer, then takes off to her sons to watch his kids and clean their house and asks me(more like tells me) to take them out, put in the dryer, fold, hang, and put them away. son tells me theirs nothing going on in the bedroom either any more. she hasnt vacuumed sometimes for 3 weeks at a time. she cooks and expects it to last 3 days. mostly when shes here she watches tv and complains. she screamed at me this day and said i was a spoiled bit.h, so son jumped up and told her to get out of his house and no one could talk to his mother that way. shes been here for a while since she had no place to go she said, but now her sons helping her get a place close by so she can watch their kids.

As much as you didn't like Agra, the packing and process of moving is bound to be stressful. Just think of the peace that will envelope you when the door closes for the last time. Whatever she needs to take, that you have to replace is worth the price of having that stress out of your life. I assume your son is staying? Or is he leaving too? Probably the stress is contributing to your dog's allergies too. BTW...Happy Birthday! Just remember that 62 is not old. Agra leaving, once it's over, will make you feel a lot younger. Trust me.

i think thats what happened with my son he said today he misses her but not her mouth always complaining. i asked her a few times why she dont get one her own age and she said she dont like old men and they dont her i figure its cause they are smart and experienced enough to know better
@bunnybon7 (50973)

so true. its already better. except she just called crying to my son about nobody cares. hes feeling kind of bad over it but like he said if she tried as hard as me she'd still be here. like i told him, she has who i have...her kids! so, shes no worse off. its just that none of hers wants her living with them. so whats that tell us? so yes, last night was first night of her gone and i slept like a baby

Better start feeding your son a lot of spinach and other foods high in iron. They will fortify him and give strength against her tears. Why doesn't she just find some one her own age? Surely there must be single gentlemen looking for a woman? By the time they find out what a pain she is, she'd already be in....lol

Hi bunnybon7, Just to wish you a Happy Birthday if I can I know it´s a bit late to say so but Happy Birthday. I usually reconcile with myself about ten days after my Birthday lol although I´m usually quite cheerful too. First of all this World wants you to grow up and be eighteen and then when you are thirty they change their tune. Bunnybon I have stopped looking so much at that Calendar I only look at the nice pictures and that´s it or if it´s one of my Son´s Birthday and so I more happy when it´s everyone else´s Birthday. Hope you are feeling in a much better mood by now. I can think of times like you have had but I don´t want to write about negative things now only positive. Don´t think I´m Mary Poppins either far from it. I often think of Freddy Mercury and "Show Must Go On" and it renews me what a brave man.

and so he was and we sure enjoyed his music as everyone seems to have. yes, its much better these days. she visits on weekends still but my son is slowly trying to move on and get her to do so also. shes much nicer when shes here as i think she wants him to say she should move back but he likes the freedom of not being nagged at and doing what he wants in his own home so i dont think he will fall for it again.

Agra is moving? What will you have to talk about? I would talk too soon...not till she's actually gone. Then THAT will be cause for celebration. How is your son about her going? There can't be that much you need to replace...try thrift stores ...do you have Freecycle? That's an awesome way to grab stuff that people are giving away. Being down is awful. Do something to take your mind off it...if you sit and dwell on it, it won't go away and you will find it harder and harder to snap out of it. Do what you need to do to fix things then ask for help. Good luck mate.

Hi there bunny, you are really worked up...I really couldn't make sense of just what your problem is but I know how that is....I have been so wound up about something that I can't even find the right words. Sounds like that is where yu are at right now. You have a lot of things going on and they probably feel overwhelming. Money alone will stress anyone out these days...It stresses me out.

I know exactly how you feel. Today I am getting my daughter ready for her first day of school tomorrow which I am happy about but we are still struggling financially which stresses me out and makes me so cranky and irritable. I try to keep my head above water, but it is really hard. I am glad you were blessed with another birthday (Happy Birthday!. That means that you are still breathing and as long as you are doing that, there is hope that things will get better!
