Please Feel Free To Skip!! Mindless Chatter!!
We (my grandmother and I)talked just the other day on the way back from the doctors and she was telling me how scared she is. I never really sat back and thought about it. She is diabetic and was just diagnosed with Alzheimers a couple of months ago. I always make light of the situation with her and help her see the brighter side of things but when she made me look at things through her eyes... I found myself with a huge lump in my throat. Once again I am just dumping more bottled feelings... She has been having trouble with chest pains and shortness of breath and had to see a cardiologist, they mentioned that they may have to put a pace maker in and after being faced with Alzheimers and now this she is petrified and I think slowly I feel myself struggling with positivity... As she put it, how do you make positive of such a situation when you are 84 years old and have no idea if you are ging to wake up the next morning. I understand that, I get it (to a point, I am not in her shoes no matter how much I "think" I understand) We all have those fears and you have no idea when it's your time but at her age it's different. I love her to death, she is a huge part of my life and I am having a terrible time with it. I am even starting to have nightmares. I have been woken up in the middle of the night with her gurgling (we have a baby monitor in her apartment which is above our garage attached to our house) so when we went up to check on her, we couldn't get her to respond (this was also a couple of months ago). When we called the ambulance and they got there her sugars were 24 which is extremely low (normal average is 80-100 ish). They got there and took care of the situation and all but it was such a scare to us that she herself even goes to bed afraid. I am totally venting here and I am completely venting and honestly hope nobody decided to embark on my wonderful journey but sometimes you just have to let it all out and unfortunately for you guys I just chose to let it out here... I am sorry and am not trying to whoa-is-me, I consider myself very fortunate in a lot of ways that I get to care for her. But I am certainly not going to lie it is hard. I have my own physical issues, 2 small children, an 84 year old grandmother, and I have volunteered myself to my pregnant cousin to take her baby when she is born (Nov 30ish)... My goodness! Do I ask for the stress or what?! I guess part of me just can't get enough of helping other people. I ALWAYS put myself last with everything. And it is ok with me, I really don't know that I could have it any other way but I certainly get a lot of slack for it from many different people. I love what I do and am very proud of it but my gosh Ang... Sometimes I wonder... I think sometimes that I ask for the trouble and pain I cause myself. But thank god for you guys, I think that Pampered Chef came into my life at just the right time and thank god everyday for the fact that I have an out. Atleast here, I can take a step out of my reality and be stress less for a few. Many laugh and joke about the fact that I am on here so much and as do I but it really has been theraputic for me in a strange, corrupt sorta way! LOL There, see. I feel better once again. Thanks Chef Success for giving me a place to just be me and make friends that are so supportive in both my personal life and business. I have made a few wonderful friends on here and one inparticular that lives here in Maine with me. I would have never met you all had it not been for the Pampered Chef and Chef Success. Thanks everyone and I hope you skipped right over this one! Ok... I'm done!

 

[Carissidy]

WOW I don't think I have ever posted that much at once!

 

[Carissidy]

I would be well over my pink star had I broken THAT one down!

 

[Carissidy]

Well, I guess I better go eat some yummy beef stew and get ready for my cluster meeting! Hopefully I will catch a few of you on here later this evening!

 

[Carissidy]

Talk to you soon! Meet me for ice cream later LOL

 

[Carissidy]

He he I just called my DH to see if he would pick up some ice cream for me because I am out and he already did What a sweetheart! He knows me too well!

 

[pcchris]

I just found out that one of my potential recruits that I've been in contact with for OVER A YEAR is NOT going to sign! At least not for another 6-8 months! Her DH was deployed to Iraq.

Well, PC would be a GREAT diversion for her....just a thought...

 

[pcchris]

That leaves me with one more possible person that is considering the business.

LOL!! That's one more than I have!!! LOL!!!

 

[pcchris]

I pull up to the house and there's a Hummer, Carera (porshe), SUV (expedition, I think) and a New BMW all in the driveway.

That's nauseating.

 

[pcchris]

hehehehe I said poop LOL

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[missydivine]

Talk to you soon! Meet me for ice cream later LOL

We are all here for you! You don't have to feel bad about letting it all out. I decided not to quote your long post, but I did read it and feel for you. I don't have to deal with all of that, and sometimes I think I'm going crazy. I will tell you dealing with Alzheimer’s is no picnic. My dh grandmother has it, and is not doing too well. His aunt is the one helping them; it's not an easy task. I think his ggm who is 101 years old is getting it too. The last time we saw her she had no idea who we were. At least that's only been in the last few weeks. Feel blessed that you have the time that you do. Also, know we love you no matter what, and we are here for you when you need us!:love: I hope you had a great meeting! Did you learn anything great to share with us?

 

[pcchris]

For some reason they expect me to work while I am here??? Weirdest thing.

It was a good day at work for me though - I was chosen as "Employee of the Month" so that made my Monday.

I got home a little late and wanted to get some things done. By the time I was done I thought it was best to get some sleep than to start chatting till the wee hours of the morning.

YAY KIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[missydivine]

He he I just called my DH to see if he would pick up some ice cream for me because I am out and he already did What a sweetheart! He knows me too well!

He's a keeper!

 

[pcchris]

I have a few things to go get done.... don't go crazy ok? I will be back soon and I don't want 20 + pages to read LOL

Oh....hmmm....Like you do to us??? lol!!!

 

[pcchris]

Catty people... here? seriously? where? LOL

Catty people?? I can't imagine that...........

No catty people allowed in THIS thread!!!

 

[missydivine]

Wish me luck everyone.... I gotta call her now!

Good luck! Sorry that happened. :grumpy:

 

[pcchris]

You mean someone actually leaves when they say there are?

3 stupid dumb minutes and she was gone.... darn it!

I have a hard time with that....I'm guilty as charged...lol

[pcchris]

Was reading for a minute. (I'm a slow reader - or was it that I was reading enough of Chris talking to herself and then Angela coming in later to see Chris gone that I was trying to decide where to respond )

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!! That's funny....I had to read that one 3 times for it to make sense.......(I'm really tired!!)

 

[missydivine]

Yep, when the show that goes off hold goes through, my sept sales will be $4600! Before that, my high score was $3100.

[pcchris]

Not everyone can pull off 10 pages by themselves, Angela!! LOL!!!!

I"m trying, though....I think I got a page and 1/2 yesterday.

 

[missydivine]

Wow,did everyone leave? I hope I didnt offend anyone with that

Not offended! I don't like negative people either. Who needs them!

 

[pcchris]

Wow,did everyone leave? I hope I didnt offend anyone with that

Honey, you'd have to do WAY more than that to offend me....

Angela, there is a special place in Heaven for you, and others like you. You are a very self-less person, and I enjoy our conversations very much. I wouldn't have skipped that post for the world. I'm very happy and proud to consider you my friend.


All of you, for that matter.

[friday]

i know its only the 2nd, and i know we vowed not to eat out but dont you think i should get a special exception since i wrecked my hand? opinions?

 

[pcchris]

My DD wants me to take her to th 8th grade football game. I'm SO flippin' tired that I don't even want to get out of my chair.

 

[pcchris]

i know its only the 2nd, and i know we vowed not to eat out but dont you think i should get a special exception since i wrecked my hand? opinions?

I think you DEFINATELY deserve a night out. How are you supposed to cook while one handed??

 

[missydivine]

That leaves me with one more possible person that is considering the business.

Keep working with them. Are your no's no not ever's, or no not now's? Ya know you should add a line on your dps that asks if your host decided to start her own pc business would you be one of her first hosts? I'm going to be doing this. Then if you have 4 or more people say they would do a show why wouldn't the host want to start. If they didn't maybe one of the other's would. I don't know that it works, but why not try. I tell people that if they don't answer the questions I will assume the answer is yes.

 

[pcchris]

I was up Sunday until after 3:00 a.m., and up way past 1:00 a.m. last night...and I'm dragging today. I could close my eyes and sleep sitting up in my chair!!! UGH!

Enough of my whining....sorry 'bout that!!

 

[missydivine]

i know its only the 2nd, and i know we vowed not to eat out but dont you think i should get a special exception since i wrecked my hand? opinions?

Go out and eat, we went out last night. So much for us. Actually it was my dd birthday, so that doesn't count.

I tried that too...it didn't work for me.

I don't even actively attempt to recruit anymore. long story.

 

[missydivine]

Hi Mary! I haven't talked to you in quite a while!

Hi Chris, I was actually trying to catch up a little. I have no idea what pages I need to go back and read.

 

[pcchris]

I give a lot of credit to those of you who have recruited. Has just never worked for me. I figure If I don't try so hard, it might happen.

 

[pcchris]

So, then when I don't get to recruit anyone, it's not so bad!! LOL!!

 

[pcchris]

Hi Chris, I was actually trying to catch up a little. I have no idea what pages I need to go back and read.

I have to write down which page I'm leaving on so I know where to start again...pretty bad.

 

[pcchris]

I'll get as many posts as I can tonight.....but I have this SNEAKY suspicion that Angela is going to be pink before I am...oh well.

 

[pcchris]

If that's how it happens, that's okay too. I just know I'm getting closer...yippee!!!
