JSM's BEGGING FOR BANNING #29 10/24/11 -

[Bearlyhere]

Peace be with all monkeys in need. JSM's sister found her a color wheel for her tree.  Wish I could be there to help her set it up.  Odds are saying that I'll be with her permanately in mid January.

Hope you all had a great day, I skated today. Coach has decided that besides my friend and I doing a duo of the battling Carmen's (1988 Katerina Witt/Debi Thomas) she has also decided we are going to skate in ADULT NATIONALS next October.  Not only that.... she has decided I need to learn pairs and she told her significant other he IS learning to skate pairs and I am his partner  He was like "okay", then "I have never worn figure skates in my life, only hockey skates". She called tonight to ask me a question, he said he wanted to talk to me. He asked "if we do this and go to the competition, do I have to wear sparkles?" Told him NO!!!!!!!!! I make fun of guys that wear sparkles, so he was happy. 

I am going to so mess with him, sending my coach pictures of outfits that are so over the top and let her tell him he is going to have to wear.    

Hopefully CC and I can be ready to Ice Dance by then, even just the willow waltz. I really want to ice dance with him. 

Prayers for you all, love ya JSM

Please pray for my cousin, her mom (which I guess technically my cousin too), she has been having hip and leg pain, went to ER yesterday and found out that her breast cancer (5 year survivor) has spread to her bones. She is the sweetest lady and tough as nails. I really would appreciate the prayers. TIA JSM

Prayers on the way.

You monkeys are my 'sister friend's.....you all are so caring about your families

  Monkey sisters are at times more caring for me than my real sister

I know exactly how you feel.

Missed you all. 

Sister, I hope you feel better.

Hi Bearly, I am feeling better.  Lots of trouble sleeping since my dog died.  He was my eyes and ears while I slept and just have to get used to the sounds of this big house.
Missed seeing you.
 

So sorry, Sister.  Maybe we can all move in with you.

 

[Sister]

Good morning everyone.  Hope you have a wonderful day!

JSM..very nice of your friend to have that paw print of Josef made for you..

Very clever indeed. I hope the podcast of Jeff Ashton is up this morning so I can listen to it.

Thanks Cookie about the paw print. I was totally suprised when I opened it.

Paul died 3 days before Christmas and  I've never been able to do the decorations and shopping etc. but when I go to my sisters' house it looks like Christmas elves threw up......3 trees, 24 wreaths, enough pointsettas to start a nursery and 16 stockings(10 dogs, 2 goats and 4 donks) hanging on their 3 fireplaces. Not to mention the lights. The best part I don't have to take them down and pack them away.

I really appreciate seeing everyones decorations.

After I came here to post this (that's a LOT of stockings, wreaths, trees and poinsettias!) I realized I forgot the three fireplaces. And the lights. But I think we get the gist. LOTS of decorations and work! Your sister sure does go all out!

4 Donks - I saw Hobbs tonight moonlighting down the street.

  I'm sorry Sister, I totally understand.

Sister - You always have the kindest things to say.  I appreciate your prayers and I appreciate your informative answer.

I honestly don't know what we are going to do.  Mom is uncooperative, showing signs of paranoia...it is a VERY complicated situation that has been going on most likely all her life.  We thought we were working on a plan under the direction of my sister (who is a social worker) and one of the other sibs stepped in and made promises to Mom that can't happen.

She is not on Medicaid...has some funds for now...but we are not sure how long those funds are going to last.

I guess I am feeling the guilt because I haven't helped with this episode with her - I have stayed with my Dad.  I have taken the back seat with her situation because I honestly don't know any other way to deal with it.  Like I told a friend, I have no more room in my life for stress.

My biggest fear that the sibs would fraction has happened - but actually it has been 3 against 1.  And I don't know what that 1 has said to Mom about her future.  It is complicated.

Thanks monks for listening...

Cad, my suggestion is to be as supportive as you can be of the social worker sib.  She knows the system and as long as what she says is reasonable, give her your full support.  You can not stop the "painting the picture as rosey" sibling from doing what they are doing.  If it splits the family, trust me, the split was going to happen anyway.  No need to tiptoe around the inevitable.  Don't allow the stress to overwhelm, particularly when you sound like you have a sib willing and capable to take the lead.  Allow it to happend and be supportive.  If the "1" wants to draw a line in the sand, let the ocean (God) wash it away.
JSM is correct, there is a waiting period regarding transfer of property.  It used to be 3 years but now I think it is 5.
Take care of your Dad -- God doesn't expect us to do all things, just the things he directs us to do.  It sounds like you are doing what God would have you to do.  Therefore, accept no guilt.  Not that the situation with your Mom doesn't concern you, of course it does.  Just don't let it worry you.  There is an extreme difference between concern and worry, the later of which can kill you.
I'm here whenever you need me and kindly know you are in my prayers.

Wow, Sister.  I don't know what to say except you have eased my "worry" with your words.  You really are an Angel~~ Love, CAD

Cad, if I have helped ease your heart, we will give God the glory.  Remember, people here care about you.

I just got a clear picture in my head of Josef and Nordie playing with each other and running around with each other.
