I received this in an email today and wanted to share!!!!!
I bet everyone can relate!!!
Enjoy

Hi everyone,

I just had the most wonderful afternoon with my mother & I wanted to share my experience.   Tomorrow is her 83rd birthday and I took her to Olive Garden to eat and then shopping.  It was such a relaxing afternoon that I wish we could do that more often.  We just talked and laughed about old times and when us kids were young.  We later shopped @ the mall and just did what we wanted.  

I miss doing those kinds of things with my mom; at her age she doesn’t get around like she used to.  We used to do stuff like that every week.

This year seemed extra special to me because I realize that I may not have many more times like this to spend with her.  My mom is basically in good health but her age does show & next year we may not be able to do this.  I cherish every moment I spend with her because I never know when it could be my last.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY  TO MY MOM!!!!  I hope she has many more.

Good morning everyone!!!  I just need to vent a little this morning.  I have a coworker that is just absolutely out there in left field.  She has worked in the nursing home with me for 10 mos. and she still has no clue as to what is going on.  She cannot think for herself and I have to tell her everything that needs to be done and our work is pretty much the same day in and day out.  I work in a nursing home as a dietary cook and she is the dietary aide.  I sometimes could just SCREAM!!!!! I love my job but some days I could just SCREAM “WHAT PART OF YOUR JOB DO YOU NOT GET”  She has no idea who the residents are and everyday she has to be told exactly what to do. You can tell that she just doesn’t pay attention to anything but waht she is doing at that exact moment.  It is sooooo frustrating that I feel like I am babysitting a 5yr. old all day long.  If I wanted to be around kids all day I would have gotten a job in a daycare not a nursing home.  She cannot carry on a decent conversation about politics, religion, the weather or well you get it  NOTHING!!!!!  I feel like I am losing my mind when I leave work and cannot wait to go exercise to get my frustrations out!!  

  Well thanks for letting me vent, I feel better.  Anybody else have a similar problem with a coworker?

  HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!!!!  I’m OFF TODAY!!!

I turned 45 in Jan. of this year and the best birthday present was my hysterectomy in March.  Life has never been so great as it is now, I have more energy and I find life as exciting now as I did when I was 20.
I had been in peri-menopause for years and I really was miserable; mood swings, very painful periods, & the PMS was horrible. I now feel like I finally got my life back!!!
My husband & I took a much needed vacation and we are remodeling our house and doing things that we love to do; and it’s all because of my much needed hysterectomy.
I understand that for some people it can be devestating, but for me it was the best thing that happened. The day after my surgery I felt like a new person and now I wake up every morning with a zest for life.
WOW who would have thought that life begins @ 45!!!!
