Yes I know there are a million people with worse and more complicated issues but I am having a hard time this week. There's really nothing any of you can do and there is nothing I can do. on the other hand I hope it helps me just to vent. (Go cook dinner during the vent and then come back and say something sweet and supportive. OK?)
Yeah I'm a little embarrassed that I don't know how to defuse the stress. Frankly I don't think I can do it...because circumstantially I don't think it's doable. Sigh and whine.
My husband is aging, unhappy, and unable to express how he feels = so he is smoking more cigars (knowing it is endangering my health but unable to help himself as he seeks relief). He is also drinking again, sigh. easy child/difficult child and I are awaiting word back on the latest house which is, once again, beyond my control. Suppose to hear by tomorrow at the latest. easy child/difficult child's SO doesn't give a Rat's what work is necessary to make the house inhabitable...she wants to share a house with easy child/difficult child. Her 17 year old and his 15 year old girlfriend have just discovered that they have a baby on the way. SO is THRILLED that she will be a GM at 35 and very proud that she talked her son's girlfriend into having the baby and not considering abortion. Wow! I was a dues paying member of NOW for years just so women could have a CHOICE. SO has three kids being raised by her parents and she TOTALLY believes that every baby should be born...even if it goes into "the sytem".
Here comes the rambling, lol. easy child/difficult child tells me that HE and SO will allow her teen son and girlfriend to move into "their house" so the baby will have a home. WTH????????? I best quit here with the whine/vent. I am OVERwhelmed and really trying to reduce my stress for the sake of my health. by the way, I have a new hernia right at my navel (ugly sucker) and my surgeon told me last week "maybe" it won't cause any problems but if you feel pain call me and I'll implant a mesh protection since that is the most sensitive area from your surgery and "maybe" that will take care of the problem."
This is NOT a good week. I'm really good at dealing with problems but there are too darn many. DDD
