Wednesday, October 29, 2008 | A Rambling story

it has been so long since i wrote in my journal i do not quite know where to start! life is busy as usual. like most people i know we jump from one issue to the next. my dear one, is having his surgery tomorrow. carpal tunnel repair, first on his right hand, then in 4 weeks or so they will do the left  one. little grand baybee came home last weekend for friday and saturday night. did much better, behavior wise. she is trying very hard to keep her anger under control. i think she needs help in figuring out what in her young life has created such seething anger. it is always right under her surface, just waiting for the slightest slight or irritation to spring out. it is great for the hospital to teach her coping skills for when she gets angry, but why not go deeper and try to put out some of that smoldering fire?

i am limping along. very frustrated with myself. i am allowing life to overwhelm me instead of just taking stuff in stride. plus i have lost my motivation, as well as my groove, if you will. how to get it back? must not despair...life is such a wonderful gift. i refuse to just go thru the motions. gotta find my giggle again!Laughing

    Guess I should have read your journal before asking about little grand baybee! Glad she got to come home.
    I wish they would get to the 'root' of this and yes coping skills are very important, but putting out the fire is much better!!:)
    Hope the hub's surgery is successful-I know you are dealing with alot right now. Keep smiling, stay perky and spread the fairy dust my friend!!!
    Huge Hugs to you,
    Gabby
