Rm 295 "Sweet Interruptions" Hotel

Morning everyone!

Thanks for the coffee Marion!

Welcome home Susan. Nothing exciting to report means the heavens were looking out for you!

Same here Marion, I like Jimbo. Can't stand the arrogance of the gators. Whatever jaMEis told his teammates, that pep talk sure worked.
Let the South owns college football!!!
Sorry Sue..

Morning LK..

Much improvement on my precious Goldie. She's up to taking half cc at a time now, instead of 1/8 and needing that 2 ccs a day can be nerve wrecking when given bit by bit.
Her eyes are back to beautiful golden orbs, and her cheeks are starting to fill up.
Can you imagine if I were to have that many kids? No rest and no money for sure!

Off to MB in a short while. He's picking up appliances, and I need to go to the only Chinese grocery store within 65 miles radius!!!

Have a wonderful week everyone!

Enjoy your trip Jaye!

Just seen a cookie recipe on FB. It says NO SUGAR but of course there is hidden sugar. It has no ADDED sugar. Any how gonna try as they sound yummy and I could eat a couple but they will be good for Amelia too.

Healthy cookies - 3 mashed bananas (ripe), 1/3 cup apple sauce, 2 cups oats, 1/4 cup almond milk, 1/4 cup raisins or nuts, 1 cup good chocolate chunks,1 tsp vanilla, 1 tsp cinnamon. preheat oven to 350 degrees. bake for 15-20 minutes. No Sugar....should read No Added Sugar.

Hello Ladies,

LOL had to go through 3 new rooms to find ya all...............

Things have been not so fun around here. Dealing with my mom and her health issues, a friend lost his French Bull dog from eating two Dingo Jerky strips, vet bill is over $7,000. They did 6 blood transfusions hoping to save him. Then got some rare plasma from UC Davis, gave him that he was on the mend then an hour later died from blood clot to the lungs, massive fires and lots of smoke and no water in our lakes. We are looking at 4th year in a row of severe drought if we don't get a good winter, and from what I've been reading up on El Nino, does not look good for CA

My Iris' are confused had one bloom in Aug now this one just the other day


I have not read up on anything, but I do hope all is well with everyone

Those jerky strips can be hazardous to pets. A lot of love goes into 7000 for a pup but then most here would do the same, Cindy.
You might have to move somewhere where there aren't droughts, earthquakes, fires... but where? Every state, mother nature doesn't play preference.

Sistahs and brother Ernie.
I need prayers. I won't borrow sorrow from tomorrow, have full trust that God will take care of me. Only Him, I trust.
But I need the buoyancy of prayers right now, to calm my heart, and make it sing in His glory.
All will be well I know.

Sending prayers right away Jaye!

Hey Cindy, sorry to hear about that poor dog. Sending prayers for your Mom as well!

Fervent Prayers for you, Jaye!
Yes, the Lord will look after you :-)

Speaking of which - I'm unemployed again - got let go from the job at the Church. I knew it was coming, because they Really need an Accountant, and I'm not one.
They've given me a severance cheque of $1500 in lieu of notice, which is nice because I was still under probation, and not even on their payroll (Contract work, payable by my invoicing them).
Their contract agreement said I was to be given notice, but this way I get the $$ and the time to look for another job.
The Lord will look out for me.

Hope you find another job quickly Susan! But this will give you time to sew on that new machine of yours!

Did all the round robins get finished? Good opportunity to do that now and get them out of your hair. Hope you find a new job soon , nice of them to give you the severance.

I'm so sorry you are without a job Susan. But it's thoughtful of the church to give you a nice severance pay.
You got a little more time to stick around and experiment on your new machine. Which brand is it?

Haven't slept much but got my feet moving. Lord helps me not to sink deep into that depress stage for I don't want to act out here.
Keep the prayers coming, and I'm committed to do so continuously.

I think now is the perfect time to tell all.

Yesterday afternoon, Kel told me to leave the house.
Couldn't understand and of course the questions of why come up.
I know the devil had got hold of him, as he doesn't have another.. too busy with 2 jobs.
Until I talked to a church sister who's his cousin last night. She may be right.
James, his older brother had cut off ties to their mother. So no more money there.
The whole town knows that MIL had depleted her insurance money, and she's pretty sure she must have kissed Kel's ass greatly and convinced him that it's time for me who can't work, to move out. All these years she's been trying, and after Murdock's death it's getting worse.
He's just like a dog that needs validation from his master. And now being the 'only' child, he's getting it.
Hard to look at this man who I know still loves me, and I do him. FOr years I'm not top priority, but its my fault when I accepted his needs to help him family.. and that chapter in Corinthians don't mean anything at all.

So, my special prayers if anyone read my Facebook wall, and asking all to stand in agreement with me is,
for Jesus to bind the devil from Kel, remove all evil thoughts and judgment. Return all goodness and mercy to Kel.

Me, I have very strong faith in God. He always carries me.
The irony is I wasn't ready for another man, especially a young man. I had knelt and cried to God, that if He decide to send me another mate, it must be His own choice. A Godly one.
So, here comes Kel and I thought my prayers were answered. The only set back is the age difference. He is 11 years younger and I don't know his family.
But I trust God.

I told Kel that I am not leaving as I will WAIT on God and bound him to his promises of taking care of me. Only God can move me.
He will have to keep supporting me, even if he decide to move out.
He told me that he wanted to end this relationship. Funny that his tshirt reads "Got Jesus?". I smiled, and in my mind I said.. not so fast buddy.. Jesus decides.

So there, be my prayer cavalry. Stand in agreement with me, for the devil will run when there are too many angels on my side and Jesus is the Master.

Morning everyone!

Jaye we will stand with you and keep you and Kel in prayer!

Thank you very much Lk.

((((((((((Hugs))))))))))

Jaye, my heart is breaking but so understand about MIL....I have seen it happen also. Stand strong, keep your faith and yes, many, many prayers coming from this household. You always have a home here dear Lady.

I'm so sorry to hear this, Jaye. I've got you and Kel in my prayers. Hang tough, dear sistah.

Thank you sweet sistahs.
You all know that my heart isn't the same and my mind's racing with what are the signs that I had missed.

No, it's not my fault. You don't fall out of love in just 3 hours.

God is holding me, and I appreciate the support shown here, and my tombstone will read
"Here lies a woman who has been much loved by family, friends and Jesus"

I hope it doesn't say that for a loooonnnngggg time!

Lolol.. Cookie, it isn't worth killing oneself over love or money!

I agree!!

Jaye, I have been through 2 divorces and neither one was easy, even though I was the one that said enough is enough. It is hard to leave someone you have loved for years. Stay strong and remember we are all here for you.
Please feel free to call if you need to vent.

aaawwww Jaye. sending you love girl.
not much going on here today
watching Gilmore Girl reruns. Addicted to them.
went to gym. i m tired.

Jaye Sorry for the grief in your life at the moment. I am not very good at these things at this point I usually become a cross country sprinter. I hope you stay strong and get things worked out to your best satisfaction.

Well the range is installed and the last 72 feet of trim arrived. With a little luck tomorrow gets the kitchen sink and the dishwasher installed. I am happy to say we are on the down wind stage of this project.

It is 10.20 now and just woke from a little nap so I better hit send before poof gets this post.

My prayers are always with you Jaye, I surely pray that Kel will get his head on straight and realize what a good woman he has. Don't know why your MIL is such a nasty woman. I've never had to deal with a mean mother-in-law. I worried so about being left alone with not much of an income, but so far God is working in my life and things are coming together. I honestly believe I never did let go so He could help me.

Went to doctor today and that almost takes up the entire day. Had to wait over an hour and then nurse wonders why blood pressure went up. She took it again with me standing up and it was a lot better then. I know all of his patients have to wait, but as I said before he is a good doctor. He must be under some pressure as he seemed a lot different. He was Darwin's doctor too and he said that he had 9 lives considering all the different cancers he has had. Did a lot of blood work and what I read on the web site it all looks to be in the normal range. Someone said he was going to retire, he can't do that!

Finally getting sleepy, doctor asked if I wanted something to help me sleep, but I don't want to take sleeping pills. Good think I can always nap when I want to.

good morning.
oh this 6 am wake up is killing me ! good grief.
hope everyone has a good day
sending Jaye hugs (((())))

Morning everyone!

Ernie, I am glad to hear that the remodeling is almost done! It doesn't sound like you ran into to many problems like a lot do when remodeling.

Pegi, I hope your blood pressure does not get too bad, but take your pills if he gives them to you!
Get plenty of sleep when you can, it does not have to be at night.

((((((Jaye)))))) Kel is just momentarily "stuck" and has become unglued. I honestly don't know how your MIL could be married to a man of God and be so evil......!
I've said it before, and I'll say it again - I will stand with you, and kneel with you in prayer, dear Jaye, that this gets resolved quickly. Keep your faith in the Lord, and he will look after you.

Jaye - my sewing machine is a Brother SQ9130. The old one I'd had for 3 or 4 years was a Brother XL 3750 - seen better days......

Ready for a long post?

Good morning sisters (gonna drop that old sistahood, for you all are my sisters, just different DNA) and brother Ernie.. (you're stuck with us now)

Ernie, you made me laugh!!!! Seems like Usain Bolt has competition!!!
Good that you're almost at the end of the tunnel. Linda will be so happy, and you, of course proud.

Pegi, I do hope your doc won't quit. Get the sleeping pills, naps aren't the same as a long deep slumber.

Susan, does it do embroidery? Always love the purrs of a new machine.

Yesterday afternoon, I told Kel that I need to make a dentist appt. as I had stopped progression for the money's not there. He knew it will take a month or so, before I could see him.. and he happily agreed to it.
Well, the receptionist said so happened there was a cancellation this morning and for me to be there first thing.
When I told Kel that, his jaw dropped. He was hoping that I won't be around to make that usual month long appt. For the charges are under his name. My first grin after I left the dentist this morning!

He tried his very best on the way home to convince me to leave. Again and again, I was steadfast in my conviction that only Jesus will move me out of the house.
God keeps me calm and made me say the right things that the devil don't want to hear.

He too realize that he can't afford to pay me the money needed for my upkeep and help his mother. (he denied that it's his mother that wanted me out, but I know better)
She has a $500 car note, monthly car and house insurance, utility bills and a hefty ANNUAL NC auto tax of 600. Aha!! Older brother ain't singing Kumbaya anymore after his wife convinced him that it's time to cut all ties as their mother would expect him to bail her out. He had been doing that after Murdock got a stroke.
This is just part of her stupidity.

Marion, God bless you for offering your home. My prayers are still for the Lord to remove all that evil from Kel's heart. You, Cookie and Judy have met him, and yes, this sweet man has suddenly decide instead of telling his mother no, he rather run away from everything, leaving me as collateral damage.

Thank you so much for the continuous prayers and hugs.

I don't cry around him, while he behaves as though he hasn't broken my heart.
But I do grab the phone and reach out.

Another warm day and I'm far behind in everything. Got a call from a cousin in Northern Ca. and was so good to hear from her. She doesn't have a computer but a machine that she can receive e-mail through, but can't send back. She isn't driving any more and has a couple women who come in and take care of her. Said she has a good life now. That kind of made my day. She is the one who is responsible for me getting involved with Jan Karon books. I had to tell her about the new one and of course couldn't remember the name.

Jaye, I'm praying that things are better for you. ((((Hugs))))

I think I need some potting soil, feel like my interest in my plants is coming back. Some neighbors across the street moved out, don't know if they sold the house or it foreclosed, but I see that they left some large flower pots, just what I'm looking for. Have to be nosy and find out what is happening. They weren't nice neighbors so I'm glad to see them gone.

Pegi, grab the pots!!
I can't concentrate on much nowadays, but maybe I should pick up the book again.

I did ask Kel whether he'd agreed to counseling. He refused. This man keeps everything inside. It will take Jesus to open his eyes and heart.

So sorry that I have subject you all to this.

Don't say that, Jaye. You know we are the first to stand with you. We wouldn't want you going through this alone. You've always been there for us! Now let us be there for you.

Thank you Cookie. The hurt is made bearable when sisters like you tell me that I matter.

More hugs Jaye dear, I too have an open door an plenty of extra room.

Jaye, the offer always stands. You and Kel both are in my prayers..always. I do know there are mothers like that (thankfully I had a great MIL) and I wish there was an answer. Some of the friends of both of my children had mothers like that and alas their children are now divorced several times. Why oh why for someone as "religious" as the woman professes to be doesn't she understand what is in the bible? Re: leaving parents and .......................
Do you really think it is you she wants out of Kel's life OR just the money she is interested in receiving if you were gone?

It is people like her who does tend to put a bad face on religion...if you can call her version that. Alas, yes, we do owe our elder parents something BUT not at the expense of our loved one whom we have chosen to share our lives with!!! I so hope and pray I never, ever do that to either one of my children, even though Kim is single.

Love you dearly.

Jaye this much I know there are not winners and losers in this only losers. No one besides you and him can answer the questions, the whys and the yes, ok and no's. You I believe are on the right track by staying in the house. I don't know about your state but here if one leaves prior to legal separation it is considered abandonment and in some cases the house is lost without compensation.

The flooring guys just finished but nobody else has shown up. Maybe this is a weather day. Still raining

oh my, Jaye - what you're going through, no one should.....
You are a strong Christian woman, and I know you'll come through this, but it's the going through that's the tough part....... ((((((Jaye))))))))))
Ernie - you're right to mention this - if Jaye leaves, I'm sure it's abandonment.

My, my! Are we late today?? Hope you all have a good day! Prayers for all.

im here
pretty tired. didn't go to gym.
cleaning house today
then going to see the judge and then hair apt.

Thank you Karen, thank you Susan, thank you Marion, thank you Cookie, thank you LK, thank you special lurker, thank you Sue, thank you Sis Kathy, thank you Synda, thank you Pegi.. and yes Ernie, I'm not budging.

IBS flare up, and I have to watch my bp.

Love you all.

Morning everyone. Just got back from the Dr. for a shot in the behind. My back has been hurting so he gave me a shot of torodol.
