About a half an hour later he comes in the family room dressed to go out and I asked him where he was going. So I guess it is time to admit it has gotten worse. I have to write down everything I need to do for the day but that didn't help if I didn't have a pen and paper. So DH got me an iPhone and now I literally have an alarm set for everything I have to do. My oldest son knows its bad because if I have to pick him up from school, he will test me to tell me not to not to forget to get him. I have had fibromyalgia & CFS for 18 years now. My insomnia from fibro which causes the sleep deprivation that led to my memory loss is really bad. I have tried every sleeping pill out there with no success. Now that it is warm outside the AC makes my arthritis so much worse that walking can get difficult at times but I push on. My family has been fussing at me to apply for disability for 15 years now but I won't do it. I feel like if I do that, then it's like I'm giving up. I really haven't been able to work full time for years but I feel I can still work part time. Personally, I like retail as a part time job and it does take a toll on my body but I like it anyway. I truly am a people person and I don't want a sit down job and retail keeps me active. My LO will start school for the whole day in August and I will work somewhere for a couple hours a day which I am really looking forward to.
I feel at some point I may have to file for disability but not just yet. I just wish my family could understand that. I have absolutely nothing at all against anybody on disability, so I really hope this post isn't taken the wrong way. Please understand, I'm just talking about myself and where am health wise right now. Which honestly could change at any moment and then I'll do what I have to do. I just wanted to say how I have been feeling here and hopefully my family will understand my feeling on it all sometime soon. ~d

Okay.... so I don't actually have that kind of $$$ but if I did I would gladly pay!
The music! The perfumes! The impossibly short everything! The "shirts" that are completely see through! The "shirts" that cover less than my bra

Okay, backstory. For my Ph.D. graduation, my colored stone dealer daddy wanted to make me up a ring. He wanted to use the good merchandise, too ... paraiba ... alexandrite ... I was totally psyched.
It took quite a while to get done - like, years - at which point the design had morphed hideously. It was supposed to be a bezel-set everyday ring. It BECAME a cocktail ring the like of which has not been seen since the days of Prohibition.
Which happened to look like a turtle.
Semi-precious turtle.
Just mouth those words to yourselves a few times.
I expressed extensive gratitude and quietly wondered about maybe slicing off the shank to make it a pendant - no, desecrating a masterpiece? ... okay then .... - and shoved it into my safety deposit box, but today, some years down the line, I yanked it out trying to figure out if I was being a hoarder ... and, a) maybe, but it has enough sentimental value that I'd reset it before I sold it, except for b), my toddler LOVES it. He LOVES it more than he has ever LOVED anything before. He spontaneously said "Wow-WHEE!" over and over and over again as he gazed at the glorious TURTLE atop his mother's hand.

TP I got you covered! I take my 15 year old cousin shopping all the time because her Mom and her can't agree on anything. I fear for this day when it is my daughter and I as I'm sure we will butt heads, but younger cousins/ friends I seem to be good with!
Only 3 hours till my eyeballs get fried..ummm I mean lasered...meaning I'm having lasik. Can't wait to never wear glasses or contacts again!
