Michelle, I find myself with that same song going through my head most every day of the week - but I keep the lyrics using "Saturday" - the other days of the week somehow don't work for me (probably too complicated). I always tended to be a procrastinator - way worse now. No one to remind me what I need to get done. Now I am crying because I so miss all her reminders. God I miss her so much ~ Scott

Michele, Good for you!!! That is the way to get on with living! . We just can't stay home alone and wallow in our grief. I feel so much better when I am up and out with other folks. Today after church I'm getting together with my friends to eat at Wendy's and just sit and talk together. I love those moments!!
I'm so glad you have pups! They bring so much joy to my life too!! Enjoy!
Loves....Karla

Michele,
Good for you! Another small step forward. Keep sharing your life with your loved ones as I am sure that is what he would want you to do.

Loving thoughts,
Kathy

Michele, glad you're getting out. It's always hard for me to leave my comfort zone, but the more get out it the easier it gets (well...a little easier anyway). But I do always feel better once I do it. Have a good day with your family.

Great idea to take you puppies out for a visit. it is really good for them to get socialized at this age, so they wont be afraid of new people, places, riding in the car, etc. Dogs turn into yappers and biters when they arent properly socialized because they are afraid of new situations. Socialized dogs are calm and cool, because theyve been there, done that. So lots of outings for you, for the proper bringing up of your puppies!
I think its so nice that you get an invitation to go somewhere. I was so happy when my daughter suggested I meet them for pizza yesterday. I dont really care for pizza, but I was so bored and had ZERO plans. Hate lonely weekends.
So happy you got out!

you brightened my night

I so know that feeling Michele of making a snap decision lately and being ok w it. We have similar backgrounds w our husbands illness and needless to say we were there for them 24/7 and life pretty much revolved around their wants and needs. Not that I minded in the least and I would trade ANYTHING to have him back. I truly would. When I start to think of it I could just cry at the drop of a hat I miss him so much. However this is life now and I have to accept that. So now it's so odd to me that I can go and do what I want where and when I want. It's kind of like a new found freedom dare I say but freedom that comes with an ENORMOUS price. That being the loss of the love of my life. I would pay anything to have him back. But that's not to be. This new "feeling" of no immediate responsibilities come w guilt though. If I'm out having a good time a wave of guilt hits like...how can u be laughing and carrying on when he's gone? I make some plans for the future and get excited but then the guilt hits because he can't share in my joy. I want to move forward but I feel guilty! I know time will ease this but deep inside I really don't think that feeling will ever go away.
This new life is certainly an emotional roller coaster. But anyway Michele, I know what you mean about spur of the moment decisions popping up. Oh what the heck. Just go with it. May as well make the best we can of our situations because were the only ones who can make our lives the lives we want. So yes, housework, cooking, laundry etc can all wait if I get a better offer. All that "fun" stuff will b there tomorrow! Sheesh. Sometimes I'm a little long winded but just letting it all out in the only place that I know I can be understood!
Thanks all! Love ya!

Michelle, I hope you have wonderful time and trip. I'm still so afraid to go anywhere but this weekend I think now I may try to treat my pups to the doggie park, 60 miles away. I live in a very remote area so do need to do some shopping but still find that terrible struggle since it's not the same since I lost my Ted. Hope you find that joy that's needed in life. Mary
