Rain's post about not sharing about what is going on in her life made me think today about how much any of us actually share about what is going on in our lives.
Most of us, me included probably think my life is pretty boring and who wants to hear about what is going on with me? Truthfully for me life is probably pretty boring or would be to most people. I am thank heavens healthy and being retired do pretty much what I want or don't want to do most of the time. So other than the normal daily routine of cleaning my house not much to talk about here.
My Ds is doing well, he is just about finished with his schooling and hoping to get a better job that would allow him to be able to live on his own again. I want him to be able to do that again and it is time for him to move out from the home of his parents and take his life back. As his mother of course I worry, and probably always will.
My Dd is doing well in her pregnancy now that morning sickness is behind her for now. She is wondering how she will handle two children instead of one. Told her like all the rest of us did with more than one child you just seem to do it. I was lucky and didn't have to work when my children were little. I do so admire women who work as well as have children at home. Not sure I could have handled that as well.
So there you have it that is what is going on in my life lately. I am tired of the cooler weather. Living in AZ we don't get snow and really cold but this winter has been cooler and we have gotten a lot of rain. Too many cloudy days. So for those of you where winter is still hanging around I hope that you will soon be seeing some warmer temps. We are suppose to get into the high 70's this week and maybe even the 80's.
So what's new with you and your well being???

I know, I know...I don't share much. I think about it...but the same things stop me as Sooze was describing above.
My life IS often routine, (I won't say boring). On the other hand, when I AM having a tough time, I don't share that either. I guess I just don't want to sound whiny, especially when others on the board have it so much worse than I do.
Time is not really an issue. DH is in control of the tv remote, so I do other stuff: read, crochet...so I could hop on the 'puter. Wish it would run better tho. That is a deterrent.
I will post later about what's going on with me; don't want to hijack your thread. All the same, I'm thinking it's just more of the same ol' you-know-what that we all go through.
Also, have to say that I lurk and read much much more than I post. You all are not being forgotten, that's for sure.

I usually like to share, because when in need someone here
This sounds never ending!! What nasty neighbors.
Hi Red
I agree there are times when
HI Lor
You had told me about about the problems with your neighbors at chat but girl you have got some real nuts living next door to you. I am really sorry all this mess is going on. To turn on the water and flood your garage well that is just uncalled for. I sure hope you can get some help to get these people to stop. Not sure anything any one can do will actually make them stop causing you trouble. Good luck my friend. But now don't you feel better having posted about it?
Hey the warm sunshine is here in AZ and you are welcome to come on down with the entire family any time at all.
Love ya
I, also, like the coffee idea, Suzanne. It's nice to think of it that way. (Even if I don't like coffee. LOL) I have loved reading this post about what kind of things are going on in each of your lives. Even if those things seem trivial to each of us, hearing about someone else's life, the normal things going on, the good things going on, the bad things going on, helps very much to put things in my own life into perspective. It helps me feel very much like I am not the only one who is going or has gone through all the things in my own life. I appreciate that from each and every one of you.
I often don't post the "everyday, boring" stuff. I also have sometimes wondered if I should keep posting all my bad news. It would be nice to have more good stuff to post. I'm deciding, right now, that there will be some good news soon!
My ds called me from his ship today!!! I was so excited!!! Can you tell? ;) He's 2/3 of the way to either Naples or Spain; I'm not sure which is their first port of call. (I'm working on the sea/navel language here.) We talked for about 1/2 an hour which was wonderful. I only cried twice. :) Okay, but I'm crying again thinking about and writing about it. He just wanted to make sure that I was okay. He will not be coming home, for which I am glad, but not glad. KWIM? It's his job. He enjoys it, wants to be there (mostly), and needs to be there with his ship. Right now, there is no need for him to come home. However, he got to call due to my DIL's shenanigans yesterday. I guess that she wasn't being quite as much of a ditz as I thought she was.
Today was that morning when you wake up, forgetting when you first wake up about what has happened. Then, there is that moment; the one when you remember and the world stops for a moment. It's been a better day, all in all, though.
My dad's family is already putting together a summer gathering and very excited that I will be there. :) I have asked each of my children to go. (Don't remember if I said that yesterday.) 4 of the 5 will be there, one of those being my ds in the Navy who will be there if it is July or August.
Anyway, all in all, it's been a better day than yesterday by far.
I don't share all that much, mostly because I'm not working right now and don't really do much all day anymore. And I have fibromyalgia and I don't want to bore people with my complaining about my pain and other symptoms. And I don't want to complain about the weather. So that's the main reason why I haven't been posting. I don't want to bore people with my non-active life and with my whiny complaints.

Glad it is a better day for you Steph!
Nancy, really I dont think that would be whining. heck when we are hurting it is good to share that... never know some one might just say the one right thing to help take your mind off the constant pain you probably are having... even if just for a few moments time.
I think it is good to see the good as well as the not so bad stuff
Hi Steph
I am glad yesterday was a much better day for you. A phone call from your Ds would brighten your day for sure.
I agree that when we do share it does make our lives seem more "normal" and sometimes helps to put our problems in a better prespective for us. Bad news or good news it all help I think to know that people care about how we are feeling.
I am glad your family is putting together the gathering in memory of your father. It will be good for you to get to see these people again.
When we remember to share our lives with our friends it help to keep us all feeling better and adds I think to our general well being.
Hoping today is another good day for you!!
HUGS
