Kinda Sad Today.... What's up with This?

I agree with treating yourself on Wednesday! Does your husband do anything for you or help your girls do anything? If not -tell him flat out that you would appreciate being remembered on your birthday! It doesn't have to be something expensive -cards, some flowers and/or a cake or dinner out is always nice. It is really cold, but January here usually is. The last two weeks have been bizarre! My birthday was last Saturday, and only one other time in 42 years has it been 70 and sunny (when I was 13)! I think it gets pretty cold sometime in Scottsdale too, doesn't it?

Do something that YOU really enjoy on Wednesday! Are both of your girls old enough to be in school? If so, take the time to do something simply for yourself. If they're not, go on sittercity.com or care.com and get a sitter for the day. You can find plenty on there who are trustworthy with tons of references! Tell your husband that's what you want for your birthday if money is a factor.

I don't know if you like massages, spas, etc., but if you DO -go to JeJu Korean Spa of Wellbeing across from Gwinnett Place Mall. It is the most fabulous place EVER. For $25 you can stay the entire day. It is quiet and spotless -and beautiful. They have several different special sauna huts that vary in temperature and mineral output. They're all built with mosaicked gemstones and quartz. They also have whirpools, steam rooms and showers; sleeping cubbies and spa services that are extra (between $50 and $100). I had the best reflexology massage of my life (and I get them often) there! They also have a restaurant and lap pool. You only need the $25! They give you shorts and t-shirt when you check in -and a toothbrush if you want to freshen your mouth. Take a book. It's heaven!

I'm sorry your feeling down. Treat yourself on Wednesday. Big hugs to you!!

Do something specail for yourself, whatever you enjoy (if able).

I live near family but a girl's night with 3 of my friends once a month seems to energize and uplift up mood. No matter how crappy I feel hanging out either eating, grabbing a coffee, walking or shopping with these girls just makes me feel better.

Smile, things will happen when they are ment to happen. Would it be possible for hubby to "check in" on the transfer request. Maybe that would at least get you some answers like "it is still be concidered" or "at the time no openings but will keep you on file" so at least you have some sort of info.

I'm sorry you are feeling this way.
-I will send out good thought waves for you that you get this transfer to Az.
-In the meantime, do something nice for yourself tomorrow (I got onto
mamapedia a bit late tonight to be of any help today).
-Remember any day you "wake up" is a good day! ;)
-Call an old friend that makes you laugh.
-Read the funnies, watch the comedy channel for a few mins (laughter
really is the best medicine).
-It's ok to feel a little lonely sometimes. It's part of life & happens to the
best of us. It's what you do to make yourself feel better that matters.
-Kiss & hug your kids telling yourself how lucky you are to have them
healthy. :)
-Can you go somewhere warm tomorrow( the local drugstore, mall etc)
just to get out of the house but into somewhere warm)
-Think positive
-47 is the new 27. You go girl!
-Any day you wake up, is a good day1 :)
-Turn on the news for 15 mins to remind yourself how fortunate you really
are.
-Hang in there.
-Buy yourself something little for your b-day, flowers & a your favorite
drink: mocha, tea etc.

Not trying to sound like a nut, but when I get down it helps me to remember that God loves us so much; and He works His magic to help each of us feel special sometimes. I know its hard to understand, but you just have to listen and look out for the small things. And, it also helps me to let God move me to help others. When you can be a blessing to someone else, it can be very fulfilling! After you begin to understand your place (duty, roll, etc), it opens up a whole new world of enlightenment; and it shows us how important we all are and how instrumental we should all be toward helping others.
Hope you have a wonderful birthday!

Whenever I am feeling a little down I reach out to friends...a good chat with a girl friend does wonders! Birthdays are tough once you get older. I get cards in the mail from my parents and sibling, but there is no big deal made. I do drop my hints a couple weeks in advance for my husband and my kids so they know the date is coming up. Choose something special for yourself and do it....even if you have to wait for the weekend to be able to have the time. It could be something as simple as a walk in a park with just yourself if you need some "me" time. Happy Birthday!

You'll have to look me up when you move out here, sounds like we have a lot in common and we're about the same age! (I'll be 45 in March) I'll message you my contact info.

Its 72 right now, you will LOVE the weather...well, maybe not so much during summer, but we make up for it with our winters. =)

Do something special for yourself on Wednesday. We are in charge of our happiness, no one else, even tho its easy to see when people disappoint us. But try to be happy anyway. =)

And start downsizing now, it will make the move so much easier and even if you don't move, it will make you feel better just to get rid of extra stuff.

Happy early birthday, good luck and keep in touch!!!
