cat missing, broken tooth, and

Posted: Apr 28, 2011

I'm having a bad day. I hate birthdays, just mean that I'm getting older. The bloom is off the rose. Glory days far behind me now. Happy as a mom, though.

My cat has been gone for three days and I'm not having a good feeling about his return. Don't know how to tell my 10yo of Pete's possible demise.

Then, a simple cheese cracker breaks my tooth -- nice. Just gets better and better.

I sort of feel like working to take my mind off things. Don't feel like going out for the celebratory dinner my boy and I had planned. Rainy, cold, wet, sad. Great, now I'm crying.

Thank you all for being here. With the solitude of this job, the sense of community and understanding on this site really helps. Sorry if this is such a pity party -- whimper, sigh.

Hope your day gets better! - Kendra

I know it's sometimes hard to do, but try to be thankful that your children are healthy and that you are healthy. Those are great blessings on their own!

I had my pity party last night - cried myself to sleep. Today is a new day (i know - old cliche) and once i got my temper tantrum out of the way this morning i read my horoscope which said "You can not unlive what you have lived but you can find another way to respond to it" - amazingly i've had a much more peaceful day after that. Sometimes we just need a good cry. I wish we lived nearby - my 10 year old son and i would join you and your son for your beautiful birthday dinner!!! Do something special for yourself - you deserve it!!

The sun will come out tomorrow... - Annie

Trust me, it's a good thing you can't hear me sing! Here's a hug for you. I hope things get brighter for you, figuratively and literally. We also have had depressing weather--rainy, cold, dreary days--for months. Mother nature changed things up yesterday and gave us snow. Yeesh. As for Pete, there is always the possibility someone adopted him (or he decided to live at the dairy farm down the street like my friend's did). I do hope he returns.

Now, take a deep breath and get ready for that birthday dinner with your son. Get out and enjoy yourself, and have a little extra dessert (or some other goodie) for us. Try to have a Happy Birthday!

When you have a day like that, you deserve 2 things: - sm - MT Wordz

1) First, you can say, "I'm depressed, and dammit, I will just go ahead and cry and feel as bad as I want! It's MY depression, so I will WALLOW in it!"

2) Then, you go get a gallon of your favorite ice cream (Ben & Jerry's New York Super Chunk Fudge always floats my boat, or, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream), and you can polish off the ENTIRE THING IN ONE SITTING, without even feeling guilty about it.

That always makes me feel better! ;)

Meanwhile, I hope you feel better tomorrow. After all, tomorrow, it will be an ENTIRE YEAR until you have to face another birthday! YAY!

You poor thing. I'm so sorry this happened on your special day - sm

Of all days you want to just be relaxing with no worries, sorry to hear of your day.

I truly hope your kitty comes home. I know how upsetting that can be. And your tooth I hope is better too.

I like the idea of crying your eyes out because it's your depression and you are allowed that and then polish off with a gallon of your favorite ice cream. My absolute favorite is Girl Scout Samoa Cookie. I actually DID polish off a gallon of that in one sitting (I paid for it the next day, but it was sooo good) :-)

Hope tomorrow is a better day for you. Your lucky to have your little boy.

I had to pay taxes on my birthday if that makes you feel better. LOL (but you would think by now I'm used to that).

Keep your chin up. Just remember, you are allowed to be depressed here and there and take some time for yourself.

Fist I want to say happy belated birthday. Sometimes it seems everything happens at once, and in this case the timing was even worse than usual.

When I am having a day like that I am reminded of the saying

"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, How was the play?"

I can identify with you. Hope it gets better very soon. Hope you had your birthday dinner, and I pray your cat comes home and is well. Let us know, please.

I was pregnant about 7 months ago and I will admit during that time I did not take care of myself. I fell into a depression. I didn't take my vitamins or brushed like I should. I went to the dentist with a tooth abscess that was the size a huge grape. They took x-rays and said it ate a hole in the maxilla and it infected the tooth beside it. The tooth with the abscess is tooth #7, the one next to my buck teeth :) He said he wants to save that dead tooth (it is only hanging now by gums ...

We just found out yesterday that my 15-year-old son who has perfectly straight teeth, still has his left canine baby tooth and an impacted adult tooth above it. I wasn't given much information other than he probably needs braces. I've researched it on Google and it sounds horrible. Braces, bracketing, putting a gold chain on the impacted tooth to pull it down, surgeries, several years of treatment. Has anyone had anything like this at all happen? It sounds ...

I ran into a vacuum cleaner this morning when I was walking fast down my hallway and think I broke my little toe. It hurt like the dickens then, but I've done that lots before and figured it would stop hurting shortly. It has not stopped. It is continuing to ache deeply and I can't bear weight. It's blue in color and swollen, but not swollen very much. I don't think there's anything a doctor will do for a broken toe. What does anyone s ...

The beauty of Trump "policy"--You can just take a different side to an issue to suit whatever your purpose is whenever you want to. Totally brilliant, don't you think? I am not sure what the religious right will think, though, now that Trump is distancing himself from taking away the rights of gay people. During the campaign, Trump told social conservatives to “trust” him to oppose same-sex marriage, said he would “strongly consider” appointing U.S. Sup ...

We have an 8 y/o dog named Spike who never leaves our 3 acres. Ever. He just is a homebody. Lately, a red pit bull female has been coming up in our pasture to see him. Now, we haven't seen him since Saturday night. The pit bull is back at home, 2 doors down, and her owner says he hasn't seen Spikey. We weren't home yesterday morning and our other neighbors said they heard gunshots at the pit bull's house. I'm sure hoping he didn't shoot my baby ...

I grew up going to church and Sunday school from infancy until I graduated high school. Sis and I were episcopal until about 4th grade, then started going to a Methodist Church til high school, then catholic services. I consider myself of the Methodist faith because I agree with more of their beliefs than other. Many many years ago my sister was visited by a couple of young men (not Jehovah) who talked to her of their faith and so she switched. No big deal to me. It ...

Need advice. My daughter's 7-month old kitten managed to knock loose a corner of a window screen yesterday morning and jumped out! Needless to say, I was home alone, working in my office, so I figure she had about a 2-hour head start before I realized what had happened. Been all over the neighborhood, have many neighbors on the lookout, but no luck yet. We live in an area that has many potential kitty hiding spots (woods, etc.) I'm at a loss and feel horri ...

I could use some positive thoughts and advice, and since I work at home as an MT, and I'm antisocial (by necessity, almost), you ladies and gents are the closest thing I have to friends and coworkers. Our beloved cat slipped out on Friday night and we're worried because a heavy storm and cold is on the way. My husband and I are in Chicago. Since I was the dummy who let the cat slip out (I didn't even know she was gone until morning) it's been pretty unbea ...

WASHINGTON — An Iranian nuclear scientist who had been reported missing since last summer has defected to the U.S. and is assisting the CIA in its efforts to undermine Iran's nuclear program, ABC News reported Tuesday.

President Barack Obama said Tuesday he hopes international sanctions against Iran for pursuing its nuclear ambit ...

The official story was that he had gone to a "safe place" during a time of national emergency. Media speculation ...

work a Sun-Thur schedule and I never get to go to church on Sunday morning. I was wondering what other Christian MTs do for fellowship who have to work on Sundays. Do you go to Sunday evening services? Basically the only day I can attend church would the Sunday evening service. I work days on one job and I work Monday through Friday 3p to 11p on my other job which means no midweek service for me, unless I sneak away, but now that it is softball season, I'm already sn ...
