Lonely

[Janet]

I am really lonely this week. What few friends I have are working during the day and have their families to attend to of an evening. I feel kind of lost.

I wish my best friend would get in touch with me. Remember I told you all about her and I being best friends for over 20 years. We haven't spoke since September of last year. I miss her so much. When she is in my life, I feel whole, but without her my heart just aches.

I've sent her a few emails and not gotten any replies. I can't call her, she lives with her daughter and she just won't come to the phone. She's not in the best of health and they are told to tell me she's lying down or asleep. I just don't understand. She told me in an email last October that she was just going through a 'nervous' spell and would call me soon. That call has never come.

Guess I should have put this in the Vent forum, but I'm not really venting, just feeling really sad and alone.

Awwww, (((((((Janet))))))), you're not alone. We are here with you!!!!! If we lived closer together, I'd run over for a bit. It's sad that your friend has not called. She is really missing out!!

Sew something, rent DVD's, attend a church service. Maybe there's a vacation bible school somewhere close that you can help with.

We love you!!!!!!!

Sorry, Janet. I was going to suggest dropping by and visiting your friend but it doesn't sound like she would welcome your visit. It definitely sounds like you have tried to continue your friendship so I would feel that the next move should be on her part.

I have a best friend that I've drifted away from. I ran into her the other day and it was so hard to make conversation with her. Her kids are all grown and she works while I still have one at home, grandchildren, and am a homemaker, so we hardly have anything in common anymore.

It's so hard to find a friend that you can spend time with anymore because everyone works. Not that they can't be a friend and work, but it just isn't the same as when they have time to spend with you.

I wish that we lived closer I'd invite you and the little ones over for a visit and we could have a birthday party for Reuger!!! He turned two yesterday!!!

Those are all great ideas Marilyn, and I don't want to sound like I'm whining, but everytime I start to do something, I have to stop and check on all the doggies.

I am suppose to go to a Conformation Class tonight (meet Lynne there), but I don't like leaving Gidget and the puppies for too long at a time. I have run to town to the store and that only takes about 45 minutes. If I go tonight, it will be at least 2 hours. I am planning on going, but I will be a nervous wreck wondering if Gidget covered up the puppies.

I don't know for sure if I've got anything to worry about or if I'm making excuses. It's so hard to tell right now. I know without a doubt, if I had someone here that knew anything about puppies or Yorkies in general that I would have no problem going tonight. It's just I'll worry what I'll come back to.

I know IF I breed again next year, it will thought out more. No two litters so close together, not while the guys are gone and a few other stipulations. It's just hard doing it all by myself.

It won't be much longer though, counting today, only 3 /12 more days till the guys come home and the puppy goes to his forever home.

But hey, I do have to be grateful....I've been sleeping great! There's always a silver lining.

It sounds rough taking care of all of the puppies, Mandy, Gidget, and the others.
I know what you mean about not wanting to leave them. When I go out during the day, I do not like going out at night because Max is all by himself. You really can't win, can you? You have too many and I don't have enough!

It's also not easy getting used to living alone, even for a week. Everyone says that you have a chance to relax, read, etc, and you do, but by the time you even begin to set up your own life, they're back.

My daughter used to go to her father's house for the summers for a few years when she was young. By the time I hot used to it, I had about 3 weeks of fun, and then I had to prepare myself for her homecoming again.

It's just not easy. My Grandmother used to say "You have to wiggle through each day."

I'm sorry about your friend. I'll pray for her. Sounds like she's in a really bad way.

I am sorry you are lonely this week, wont be long now and then the guys will be back. I wish we lived alittle closer so I could help you out more.
I do hope you come tonight I am looking foward to seeing you. And since you wont be bringing Fancy if you get nervous you can always leave early.
This time next week you will be back to your old self wishing someone was gone again. LOL
Well gotta get ready to leave I hope your there!!!

Janet, it sounds like you need to find a different kind of bedding for the puppies and Gidget. Something she can't pull over them or tuck them under so you're not having to worry so much.

Hope you feel better Janet. We love you!

[Janet]

Feeling much better!! I did find a solution for Gidget and the puppies. She has her own bed now, so when she's tired of laying with the puppies she can get out and lay on a more cushionie bed. It worked.

Whenever I get to feeling down, I always start thinking of my best friend (I think about her all the time anyway) and then I get even further depressed because we haven't spoken. I miss her and just wish she would get over whatever "nerves" are bothering her.

I know it's been quite some time and I should move on, but she was always such a big part of my life and it's hard. I do okay, it was just that this week has been a little stressful.

I'm so glad you're feel better Janet.

I love when you talk about Gidget, having had a Gidget when I was a kid. The new bed is a good idea.
