Okay I have been working on this Windows 8 and have not gotten much farther.  But I am determined to figure it out.  I can get on the internet so that is a good thing.  For those who dont know I have bad anxiety/panic attacks.  This morning I was watching TV and I hear the screen door open on the front door.  The dogs went nuts of course, 30lb ( Read more... )

Today has been raining and cold.  Sunday I took my son (18) to the doctor and he has strep throat.  Wonderful. Today his girlfriend called me sick.  I took her to the doctor as her mother was working. She has strep as well.  Now my throat hurts.  Let's hope.......  My husband bought me a new laptop today.  It is a very simple one as I dont need a ( Read more... )

I went to the wedding rehersal with such promise and we rehearsed coming down the ( Read more... )

I am back from the bridal shower and it went very well.  Emily was pretty and got lots and lots of presents.  My son even showed up. He didn't participate but just lurked around. I was glad he was there.  He may have shown up to see if I came.  He was very happy and surprised to see me.

My husband called him and apologized for being an ass to him ( Read more... )

Sunday is the bridal shower for my future daughter-in-law.  I am not looking forward to this at all.  I have been totally shut out of this wedding and my name is not even on the invitations.  His stepmother is.   The truth be known I have just sucked as a mother.  When it came time to fight to keep my kids I just let them go.  And now I am paying ( Read more... )

Went to my hearing on Tuesday morning.  I was scared to death. We went in and the judge asked the lawyer for an opening statement and he told him what was wrong with me and gave him the doctors forms. The judge asked my name and date of birth.  Talked a few more minutes and approved my disability and back payment to 9/2009.  Yeah.  Thanks for all ( Read more... )

I go for my hearing in the morning.  Wish me luck.

Ok I went to the lawyers office today, yes on Saturday.  He was preping me for my hearing on Tuesday. He went over the questions the judge will ask and told me just to stay calm and tell the truth. He said the judge is really nice and is better than most at granted SS Disability Benefits.   So we will have to see.   I am nervous, no downright ( Read more... )
