Daily Whine & Shine - March 26, 2008

by Marilyn Mackenzie

Whether you agree with the concept or not, everyone needs to be able to vent from time to time. That's especially true if you're one of the many who suffer from an invisible illness. We have whines and rants about pains, medical professionals and prescriptions, just to name a few. Perhaps our families listen; perhaps they don't. Even if they do, they get tired of our complaining, even if they claim to understand our constant struggles. Or if they don't get tired of our "negative energy" we think they do or will.

Drop your cares and worries here. Share your rants. Shout, "Oh shutkie darn!"

Or...

Turn 'round and 'round, dance and yell, "Yippee skippy!" Why, you ask? Because there must ne somthing good happening, even amongst life's trials.

God makes Man, His first priority. But, Man makes God his last resort. ~ Ceasar Rodriquez, Jr.

Good Morning Marilyn. I am up way too early today. I spend the last two days very sick on antibiotics and slept almost the whole day yesterday. So I woke up at 5am this morning.
The good thing about it is FREE TIME for Mommy before the little ones wake up! At least an hour or two!

Its a new day in Paradise. Keep your chin up and your heart open and listen to the heartbeat of nature.

Hi Vana. Read about that spam thing. Not nice.

Good morning, Jeff.

Hey, Monica. Hope you're feeling better. Back when my son was little, I always got up around 5 a.m. just so I could have some alone time.

Okay, I am going to whine today.

Over the weekend and up to yesterday I have found about three deaths. Either of family or close friends.

This morning I wake up as my husband leaves for work. I find out my daughter had puked on the floor. But my husband didn't bother to clean it up or check up on her. he left it fir me to clean up. Now how gross is that?

I do have a shine thou:

I was able to go to the beach with to see an old friend.

I just heard the extended weather report and after monthss of planning and work for my outdoor art show they are calling for scattered showers Saturday and thunderstorms Sunday. Has anyone ever spent an hour inside a tent with an aluminum frame as lightning and thunder stalks the show? I have and it is not pretty.

Well, I woke up super tired this morning... it feels like I barely slept from the time that my fiance came to bed (around 1:30) until I got up.

But I've had a really good week thus far, so I'm not going to let a little tiredness ruin it. :)

I want to whine and shine.

The back pain is here again. But it's sunny outside and much warmer. Somehow things don't seem as bad when the sun is shining and it's warmer.

First off my appointment to the gynocologist went ok. She did not want to do surgery so I did noit push it the way mom wanted me to. She had said it was my choice but when we left the doctors she hit the roof as I knew she would. But I stood my ground. I was not about to be cut on and be kept being cut on just to give a all mighty dollor more than once. I am not having a hatchet job done on me. While I waited on the doctor to come back to sign me off in good health I had asked mom if I should ask the doctor about what my chances of kids was at my age and she wanted me to ask t hinking shed agree with her but I knew the doctor would most likly take my side and to keep a fart her sceen from happening I just kept quite just glkad to be out of there with no big sceen. Why put a doctor in the middle of a family fight, Right? Anyway a bit of good news, If you had said 2 montha ago my uncle would be up wal king and talking and making sence and visiting everyone I would have said you was a nut. But he came over today and was making great sence. But I do think he was just out visiting telling everyone bye for the last time. He did something he has never done. He hugged me and told me to behave like he used to tell me when me and my aunt would pick on him. Looks like everyones prayers are working and I thank you for that. And so does my aunt.
