Right now mine is that I have the flu. And Mother's Day is always tough for me. I have wanted to be a wife and mom my whole life but it just hasn't worked out. My mom died in 99 and my grandma in 2013. It's a weird feeling not having any real family. I'm sorry you are ill and lonely. It can be a tough day for those of us who have lost our Mothers. I'll be thinking of you this weekend. |

Oh my hell, the neighbor with the deflated flat pool with water and leaves in it finally mowed his backyard. He mowed around the damn pool! And didn't go back to dump it or anything. He actually picked up the filter and put it in the water and mowed around it. When he does get around to getting rid of it, he will have to reseed that circle but he won't. The backyard was so overgrown that he did two rows, stop to empty the grass bag, do two more rows, empty the grass bag. It's an eyesore and the landlord won't do a thing. Can you drop a dime on him to your local Vector Control? Our Vector Control is pushing big time to drain standing water due to Zika |

Thank you all. I know Mother's Day is tough for a lot of women. Sometimes it's children who don't appreciate you, having lost a mother to death, or never having a real mother. My heart goes out to all of you! You're not alone even though it may feel like it. Thank you all so very much for your kindness! <3

My vent - people (specifically my family) who always insisted on smoking indoors.  After mom died last month, I brought back 4 pieces of furniture, a twin bed and bedding, as well as a mountain of quilting fabric. All I've done for the past week is wash fabric and furniture. Hugs. I'm so sorry for your loss.  BTDT with the post smoker cleanup and I'll agree, it's nasty. |

That must be one ginormous fire, I can't even imagine how bad it must be closer to there. I'm praying for all those who have been affected by it! The size of the fire was described as the entire Manhatten & Brooklyn. Now it is the size 1560 square kilometers. HUGE. Yikes.  I've been in kid birthday party planning mode all week and have missed most of the news reports about it. |

I figured it all out, sat down this morning to cut new pieces, and cut right up the center of the garment which I had not pushed out of the way enough when I cut the new fabric. So - I have to remake the entire garment. Another weekend shot to hell making one thing and not for a whole lot of money. 2nd vent - tomorrow is mother's day and my house is out of control. But because I am working on the commission I've been sewing for 2 weekends now when I would normally do some housework. So looks like Mother's Day I'll be sitting in a pig sty house sewing for someone else. Oh no! I don't think that's a little vent at all. I really hate when stuff like that happens. |

I have plants for the garden. I set them down on the ground to water them. The little chickens got into them and found the Brussel spouts and grabbed one. They spent the next ten minutes running dragging one of poor little plants with them! The place I bought the plants at is closed today and nobody else seems to have Brussel spouts. Perhaps the universe and the chickens are telling you not to eat Brussel sprouts.  They are for the dumb chickens! Good thing they are cute |

I'm sorry. My vent - I made a from scratch cake for my daughter's birthday today and it fell apart (not fixable) coming out of the pans. I'm going to have to start over - I had DH pick up a box mix for try 2. It does TASTE great though just...in lots of bite size pieces I hope you saved it. I would make cake balls or the "kitty litter" cake. Never ever let good cake go to waste. |

This year I'm sick and can't get anyone else sick but I'll file it away for next year. I know my grandma struggled a lot with Mothers day since my uncles sucked! I am sure someone would love that. Nursing homes still trigger me a bit because of my grandma's last year in one. But maybe by next year I can do something like that. I am an honorary aunt and I am grateful for that. I have such a nurturing spirit. |

Vent you say? Gee what would I have to vent about. I have 2 grown kids of course neither bother to even say Happy Mother's day to me. My life is falling apart and nobody can do anything or seems to want to. So I am just a happy no good human being. Mother's day is tomorrow? Why would they wish you a happy mothers day early? Maybe she saw them today and won't tomorrow (and knew it) |

I'm not sure why you don't understand that I don't like to mix business with my personal life. For one I don't know the person your talking about very well. And really if you had listened to my conversation you would have heard I'm not trying to find a truck anymore I have hired a transport company already.
And if you would have listen to the other part of my conversation you would have heard this is also a nightmare of job and your small independent guy really wouldn't have wanted it.
But that's OK you be pissy. I just called to say happy mother's day to you. You asked how work was going I told you my project I was working on. And you just heard what you wanted. And you mentioned so and so and I did explain why he wouldn't want to deal with this as well. Again you didn't listen.
So we were having a nice conversation but now your mad. Oh well.

I like my new job somewhat since the boss is way nicer than my last one, but I hate working weekends. It is very physical work and it makes me exhausted. The rest of the family is on a traditional schedule and I often work Friday afternoon/night and Saturdays. If I keep the job, hopefully the goal remains to hire enough that nobody has to work back to back weekends.
I have a bad knee, so much so that it has kept me from my beloved line dancing but yet, I work this physical job at least until I can find something else. With DD coming home permanently and DS getting his license next week, we need the $ from my job but it's very difficult to do. My knee is fine about 80 percent of the time, but the painful locking/popping can strike at any moment (and does).
