wireless really fixed this time

finally took my son's advice and had someone directly from cable to fix my wireless. my son did all he could do for me but i needed the equipment the techs had. i had been putting it off but after failed attempts to correct problem myself from phone directions, i'm where i should have been months ago, if i had followed advice. irishmen are often stubborn and put things off. guess who's irish!.have a lot of reading and catching up to do. i'll be back to check site more often.blessings lynn

sorry it's been a while

sorry i haven't been keeping up to date with blogging, posting etc. my wireless isn't working and it is a literal pain using the desk. i'm hoping my son who works at cable company will check it out. i'm not holding my breath. however next week is my birthday so maybe i can get him to do it for that. i've hardly been using the computer at all. however i did spend a couple hours sat. deleting over 300 emails!hope i can catch up with this family soon.i've really missed you guys. blessings lynn

blood pressure a little high

had to get my botox shots today which i hate but work for me. dr. said pressure was a little high. 150/80 i told him it was probably because i didn't know if son had gotten out of hawaii yet .he did, left yesterday!however he did come home with a blistering sunburn on legs, only put sunscreen on chest and arms, not legs.what was he thinking? told him to go to drs. pretty sure he has sun poisoning, legs purple- my mother would say mother of boys have a special place in heaven just hope it's a

not this time

well son didn't get this job but probably for the best. would have meant out of state 3-4 days a week. with wife working changing shifts and often not home until kids, 4&1, in bed. it could be days without seeing either parent know a lot of people are making these kinds of sacrifices and i applaud them . luckily they are in a position with her job that they can still wait it out a little longer.however very difficult emotionally on both of them; think we know a little about that. sorry for b
