I should be in bed, I'm still sick with this lousy cold, cough, congestion, etc ., etc.....but I cannot sleep......cannot lay in that position and go back to sleep....soooo, where am I? On the computer....LOL!
Anyhow, I am sooo upset and angry, have been bawling, and just need to get all this "crap" out of my system......when bad things start happening, they just keep coming and coming some more.
It started with my fall maybe a couple of weeks ago, when I tripped over a stack of books and messed up my left leg/knee........the pain was excruciating, but I finally got over that.
Then, we found out we HAVE to repair part of our sidewalk or get fined $750 by the lousy City....by a certain time (December, I think).......if that's not enough, now the City decides that our entire street is going to be resurfaced.....done without contacting homeowners, of course........there go the property taxes!
Now, we find out our son has major, major teeth problems......he is having to have close to $3,000 work done.........I have told him and told him (till I'm blue in the face), he has to brush his teeth, he cannot keep on drinking a 24 pack of Mountain Dew a week and expect to keep his teeth..........right now he's at Aspen Dental getting a big-time cleaning ($350 worth) and they'll find out exactly how many teeth have to be pulled. He will also have to go to the Oral Surgeon and then get a partial......now, he makes ME feel like all of this is MY fault.....I've been sitting at my computer crying over this and very upset....I am feeling like a failure....almost totally worthless.........
Then, our cruise.....well, there has never been Cayman Islands on it for one of the stops.....only Jamaica and Haiti.....guess, this, also is my fault. \
Plus, I still feel soooo lousy with this crap, whatever it is, and I feel like bawling again.........I still feel like a failure and it seems like the bad stuff keeps coming and coming.
Sorry.......didn't mean to write a book here, but I'm really down and out......I just wish things would turn around.
This is why I just have not been posting much here......have actually been in hiding.
I am so thankful.....hubby is finally taking some responsibility and helping out with the kid....getting him to the dentist, appointments and all.....I told him, I am tired and worn out, emotionally drained, and I CANNOT do it all.

as of yet, I am the only one in the house that isn't down with the crud...I suppose I can expect it anyday since they are all hacking away around me
we just got a partial for my middle daughter....but she is still young enough for her medical card to pay for all of it...as well as the oral surgery she had to remove the 9 teeth.
I am really thankful that he is still working, even though it's now just 4 hours a day..........he's learning fast that Mom isn't so dumb....I always harp at him....you have GOT to have an emergency savings acount.....that is a necessity of life........now, he's realized it!!!
Had to go to the grocery store and I was coughing up a storm! Did get Stouffer Entrees for supper and got me some Robitussin Cough Stuff....the only thing that helps. One good thing, though...I've completely lost my appetite so hopefully will lose some weight.
I hope that you can get all your kids teeth fixed. That is overly expensive. Kids don't listen. We have a 14 year old and the dentist has been telling him to take a stick and push one tooth for a couple of hours a day and it will move and he won't need braces BUT he hasn't been doing it much. I have a feeling the dentist will tell us he needs to have braces as of November. We'll see.
I hope that some good starts to happen for you.
Well, I am getting excited about the cruise and just getting away from it all for a number of days, even though we don't get to go to the Cayman Islands...oh well!
I wish you all the best my friend.
Let Hubby takes some on for a while you get some needed rest.
Go shopping, mini vacation, walking the park or mall. Go window shopping if you can't spend money that's relaxing as well.
