To All Of My Friends Here On MyLot And Beyond

Tweet

Just wanted to let everyone know the reason I haven't been responding very much at all this weekend. I've been going through a lot more crap in which has brought me down even more. I just haven't been myself lately, been sleeping a lot more than normal which I know is a cop out so I don't have to face the day and my problems. I will be back eventually but right now I need time away to get my head screwed back on my shoulders. This year has been total hell for me and my husband and we know it'll get better but it seems to get worse and worse. Most of you know about my parents, they've finished moving however, Mom never did find her cat that has been missing since August. They're having a terrible time finances due to their other house hasn't sold yet due to my nephew and his fiancé are buying it in a year from now - once they get their credit straightened out in order to qualify. Hubby and I are helping them when we can, which isn't often because we're in a financial pickle too although not as bad as they are. So Mom has been depressed which is hard for me to watch her go through and I did finally get her to ask her doctor for some antidepressants in which are helping her some what. She's better than she was but not as good as she could be so I have a feeling she's going to have to have the dosage increased a bit. Well I just might join in that boat and have mine increased too for I'm not doing so well either but right now that's beside the point. The other issue is with the hubby's retirement and getting 100% of disability which is a crock because of this and that, he can't be doing this and can't be doing that and he has to do this and has to do that. Red tape is what it is and it's gotten to be a tug of war with them to get what he needs. Sad that he spends 27 years defending our country and gets shafted when he retires. Welcome to the USA! I've been looking for a job and nothing has surfaced as of yet but I'm still looking but well... Most of you know that I'm legally deaf. Well I had lost my hearing aids and been looking for them like crazy only for hubby to find them in the driveway all crushed to bits and pieces. I cried and cried because I loved them so much. The reason I say that is because all of my life I've had several hearing aids and hated each and ever damned one of them because technology hadn't advanced enough in my day to make them sound right, instead they always sounded very high pitched like some cartoon character which would drive me insane!! Finally these come out and being that hubby was active duty, we only had to pay $50. out of $2,000 - $3,000 for them. Now that he's retired, I don't know if our insurance will cover them anymore. I'll find out tomorrow for sure or in the next few days when someone returns my call. I swear I felt like someone had literally popped my bubble or deflated the last strand of my being when he came in to show me the pieces. THEN... we get a phone call that hubby's mother is not doing so well and had to go into the hospital for a few days and that they'll need 24/7 care which means they'll have to move into hubby's sister's place since they have a small house behind their house for this reason but they don't want to move but now they have to. So now hubby has to call social services and some other place to get help to reason with his parents - mom and step dad. Does it EVER end? Or does it pile and pile and pile up higher and higher? The last two nights I've gone to bed at 10 or 10:30 because I'm so worn down and totally exhausted and then I sleep during the day too. I'm usually a night owl, up till 1 or 2am but not lately. I have no interest in anything, not mylot, not reading, cross stitching - nothing. All I want to do is sleep. So please bear with me on this. It's been a year from HELL. So I've made a folder to put in the discussions that I would normally respond to and will respond to at a later date when my head clears up a bit but right now I just can't. I've got too much on my plate right now to think straight. However I may respond to some here and there, but not like I've been normally. Take care - All of you! I will return... eventually. Just please say a prayer for my parents and hubby & I. We sure need all we can get!Bless you all!
