I feel so bad.....

16 years ago

I found some pink dessert plates and some matching small bowls but the price was too high! The plates were marked $12 a piece and the little bowls were $6.50 a piece. They were so cute and I wanted them soooooo bad but I couldn't justify paying those prices. The plates looked like a flower with the petals, same for the bowls. I'll check that store when I'm in that area again. (80 miles from me) *sniff* *sniff* Anyone else ever have that happen?

Oh Mary, I'm so sorry the pink dessert plates and bowls were so high. And yes, I've had that happen to me and it is very discouraging. I hope you find something else you like just as well at a better price. And I hope you feel much better soon.

Thanks sandi! This place was called "The OldSpud Warehouse" and they had a lot of nice things but a little pricey. I do have some pink plates I ordered online at TenderHeart & will post a picture on Monday of them along with a couple of things I bought today. Maybe if I'm lucky I will have found something else too by then. But, it's just that these were so dang cute!!! I think I need a bowl of 'comfort' food....like a dish of ice cream with some hot fudge topping...yep, I feel better already! lol!

Oh Lordy, I was planning on moving Monarch chrysalides from plastic container attachments and attaching to mesh sides of pop up hamper. Knowing my lack of manual dexterity I've been putting off the move of 5 cats...counting down the days until they'll eclose and I run out of time to move them. After reading all this I think I'll just put the plastic containers in the mesh pop up hamper and install "netting bridges" so eclosed Monarchs can climb up to mesh themselves! I'll keep an eye on them and help them get to mesh if they need it as I did with first two eclosures last week but I'm NOT risking dropping a chyrsalis. Until I read this I thought they were "hard" enough to withstand a little fall of a few inches. Haven't touched any yet so as not to risk introducing germs even with washed hands. The odds aren't with me and my fumble fingers in getting them detached from tight container spaces and securely reattached without my frequent bouts of the dropsies. For the confessional part of this post I have to admit I "lost" a tiny 1st instar Monarch cat in early container clean out with a few cats in it. When I went to put in new food the cat count didn't match the pre-clean out one!Couldn't find tiny little thing amongst all the frass, old milkweed mosaics held together with silk, dirty paper towels...well, you get the picture. I still can't get it out of my mind every time I go to clean out another container. The persnickety Monarchs have had no interest in using the sticks, paper towels or netting provided inside containers and on their tops for forming chrysalides. Unlike BST cats I find Monarch cats don't take well to "assistance" of any kind. I stand in the kitchen trying to sweet talk them into climbing onto a clean milkweed leaf to make transfer after cleaning out their containers. They've resisted for up to ten full minutes even after I've progressed to begging as it's sometimes the middle of the night when they've eaten their way through tons of milkweed. Offer a fennel frond to a BST and they're all over it. Different kids have different needs...LOL.

Feel bad for DH, crazy and pregnant

Oh yes dear! I was not 'glowing' when I was pregnant - I was howling! It is very likely that you may also start having terrible PMS after your pregnancy. The biggest thing that helped me was keeping a chart on the calendar of my emotions and physical condition. It didn't change wether or not I was cranky, moody or headachey. But I did learn that this behavior fell into a definite pattern over the course of a few months. Knowing that helped me deal with it a little better. Anytime that I felt that I was about to really lose my temper over something I checked the calendar. If it was in the middle of the 'pattern' I made myself wait a day or two before I took any action on whatever issue was bothering me. Believe me, it was not pretty. I had 4 pregnancies in three years (miscarraige problems) and my hormones were all confused. I think I destroyed two whole sets of china in that period. Good luck to you. Pamper yourself, and hug your child and your DH at least once a day wether you feel like it or not.

The girls are really sensitive to any emotional rise between J and I. We don't even have to be having a row for them to become upset. There was on day when i had gotten ill about something that happened at work and as I told J about it my voice staretd to rise and it was obvious I was irritated. Both girls immediatly started telling us not to fight. "Stop IT! YOU HUG DADDY!" Even when I tried to explain that wasn't mad at daddy they remained upset untill we hugged and kissed and said I'm sorry and I love you. They don't remember J and their mother together but J has explained they couldn't live together because they fought. They also have witnessed fights between their mother and her exNat, who they were very close to. The last fight resulted in Nat leaving. In their little brains fighting=leaving. The only thing you can do is be sensitive to the connection and do your best to remain cool around them even when youre mad as hell. We also explained that arguing can be healthy and normal sometimes. It doesn't mean you don't LOVE that person it just means youre human. The scars are there once a child has been abandoned. It's really sad.

We have varying needs and commitments ... and there are some that once were higher on our list, but now must needs fall below the red line. For those of you who are under pressure, I hope that things improve for you before too long, enabling you to follow the desires of your heart. When I was a practising clergyperson, some people when I visited used to apologize for not coming to church more frequently. I said that I value my freedom, and if it is good for me, it is good for them, as well, and that I should respect their right to live their life as they chose. That said ... that I or others in the church would probably do or say things or build programs, discussions, etc. which would encourage them to reconsider their priorities. ole joyful

Oh, Mary , you scared me..I thought something really bad happened. Not that depriving yourself of dishes isn't bad, LOL. But ice cream will do it! You will find something, just you wait!
I don't have anything to post for Monday, unless Mother's Day brings a surprise! Prob not, though, I usually ask for plants for outside.

kathlen, I'm sorry, I realized after posting that I should have used a different title or added 'No dishes'.
Yes, the ice cream is helping! :)

Happy Mother's Day to everyone!!!! Hope your day is great!

Mary, don't feel bad that has happened to me a number of times. Sometimes you really like something, but the prices can be simply out of reach. I'm a pink nut too, so I feel your pain. I am sure something else will come along, but in the meantime, I definatly agree icecream is a very close second in making one happy!

Mary, I can't wait to see your pink plates from Tenderheart. They have such pretty stuff. And more goodies you bought today.

I had a bowl of ice cream earlier today. It worked! LOL

Okay, that does it--guess I need to go buy some ice cream because I haven't bought any dishes this week either! LOL

Sorry you really loved them Mary--but just think, when you do find something else, you will feel like you can buy more because of the money you saved not buying these. Anyone else understand that logic? LOL

The pink dishes at Tenderheart look so pretty, know you will feel lots better when they arrive.
