Calming energy

[Semele]

If you have it to spare I would appreciate it. My kids are halfway across the country from me and I am not getting phone calls that were promised for various reasons. I also can't get anyone to talk to me to give me updates on the kids. I don't have any idea how potty training is going or if Trey needs more medicine. These are small things that trully are insignificant in the greater scheme of things. All I really need to know is that they are ok...but they are my world and I want to know the details of their lives dammitt.

I was going to get a kitten to keep me company so I went to petsmart and they didn't have any listed for adoption. In the parking lot I got backed into by a lady in a huge Doge Ram.

I am having a hard time remaining calm vs. completely losing it.

:hugz: and much healing and calming vibes, Hon. Give yourself a break, ok?

And try the Humane Society or a feed store for kittens. More :hugz:...

Sem, I replied to your PM. It took 2 hours to write it between Trin navigating away from the page and erasing it (TWICE!) and normal kid things. We were not ignoring you, just busy with the kids.

Sending calming energies and tons of sympathy and empathy.......Try to do something for yourself during this time...read a book, watch a girlie movie....I know from experience its difficult.....Deep breaths....go to your happy place....(where there are possibly men in thongs?? My happy place has a pool boy....but no pool:hehehehe: )

[Semele]

Thanks guys. I have been chatting with GEBS a bit and got the updates and now I feel better. I just never knew I would miss them this much. I am rustling around for clothes and toys that smell like them.

Thank you again GEBS for the pics and stories. It made my day.

[Jenne]

Yay! Glad you feel better! :hugz:

You're very welcome. I'll send you more every few days so you can see what they're doing. and I'm sure Trinity will be more than happy to write you another PM. She can hardly keep her little fingers off the laptop. :)

I'm having the same kind of week. Friday I dropped the grandkids off with their daddy for the week - NINE whole days - and this morning I took my daughter and her fiance to the airport - they'll be gone five days. Just me and Sophie Kitty and Buck the Basset. I'm planning on going to thrift stores and being able to try on clothes without having the kids in the dressing room with me :thumbsup: and moving the furniture out of the dining room so I can rip up the old floor covering and put down some new vinyl tiles to match the living room (which we did last summer). I'm trying to keep busy so I won't get lonely, but it's really quiet around here.

Take care of yourself, Sem, and don't beat yourself up for missing your kids. It just means you love the little buggers. :lol:

Knowing how your kids are is definately not an insignificant thing. It's good that GEBS is keeping you up to date. Do take this time to recharge your own batteries. Do things that are for you, so that you can know that you matter, as well.

Calming energies to you, Sem, I am keeping you in my prayers. :hugz:

Thanks for keeping the original agreement if a little late. I know how they tend to fill your time because mine is so empty now. I am thinking they are going to need to come home soon.

Semele,
I know it's hard when little ones are away. Mine aren't so little anymore and it's still hard for me! Try not to worry so much and get some rest while you can. They are in capable hands. :)

[Catiana]

calming energy sent, :hugz: I know how hard it is, I used to miss mine so much when they went to visit their dad, I'm so glad that I don't have to do that anymore, but now my oldest is grown and on his own in another state and I still miss him. At least he's really good about checking in with his ole ma.

[Faery-Wings]

(((((((((((hugs)))))))))))) Semele.

Even when it was just for one night, I would wander around the house not knowing what to do w/o my babies.
So what you are going through is *not* inconsequential.

Take care of yourself, perhaps geta bit extra sleep, cuz when they come home-- your' not going to want to let them out of your sight for a while.

[Philosophia]

Sending calming and comforting energy! :hugz:

[Ancient Wisdom]

Oh Semele, I know how hard it could be to be apart from our kids, They are the ones that make everyday better than the one before. I'm glad you feel better now. Lots of :hugz: and Comforting Energy has been sent your way hun! :hugz:

Warm hugs, calm and Universal energy for your nerves. I hated visits until I made plans for myself.

A hot bubble bath and manicure without interuption. Just getting my heels soft and nice was great. :tub:

Sorted through all the clothes, fixed the things that needed fixing and ironed the stuff that needed ironing etc.

Cleaned cupboards and closets, got rid of no longer used items and took them to Goodwill, got the deduction ticket and 20% off coupon. Refilled the shelves.:lol: I suggest 1/2 price Saturdays.

Went to the library to read and investigate kids books, brought home a stack for nighttime reading.

Cooked and froze food so I could just reheat when the kid got back. Made cookie doughs for quick cookies.

So I kept busy. And it helped me, my depression and stress about visits away. Eventually I learned to enjoy the time and used it to do adult things. My house was organized and cleaned within an inch of it's life too. Scary thought. :lol:
