Well … another day. I still feel on edge. For what reason, I have no idea. Yesterday and last night were especially bad. Very short-tempered and very little patience, which is odd for me since starting on Paxil. One thing for sure is that it has certainly evened-out my mood swings. I keep trying to figure out what’s with this feeling, but every time I think I’ve discovered its cause and take care of it, the feeling remains. Oh, well …. it will take care of itself in time, I’m sure.

On a lighter note, I received a telephone call from my mother-in-law today. She’s great. :smile Both of my parents-in-law are. Well, anyway, I feel I should preface this story with a little background info:

My husband is one of seven children. He grew up on a farm, where his parents still live. His father continues to farm, despite saying every year that he’s had it with all that. :wink They are extremely down-to-earth, old-fashioned folks. They raised all the kids in a strict Catholic home. They had the 4 boys first, then came the 3 girls. As the boys grew up and became old enough to drive, Dad would complain endlessly about them saving their money for “newer” cars. He could see no reason on earth why they didn’t spend less and get a good used car. Well, as the years have passed, my father-in-law has …. shall we say, mellowed? :wink My hubby thinks it is highly unfair that as time went by, the girls were allowed to do much more than the boys ever were! :lol Anyway, over the past several years, Dad has been buying new pickups. Not newer used ones — brand spankin’ new ones! Hubby just shakes his head in disbelief. lol

So, the phone call today …..

One of my sisters-in-law and her husband gave the folks one of their old computers when they upgraded (they own a few of ‘em). Now, you have to understand that my parents-in-law never saw the need in having a computer! Well, they used this computer to play games on, and that’s about it. But today she called and said that Dad had “gone down and put us on the internet”. :shifty Only one problem — they have no idea how to do it!! :lol So she called and asked if I would come give her lessons. Of course I said I was happy to, and I’m actually kind of excited about it. She’s done so much for us over the years, and has always made herself available if any of her kids needed a babysitter for the grandkids (#18 is due in April :smile) So, tomorrow I’m headed out to the farm to teach my mother-in-law how to surf the net and send email.

Who woulda’ ever thunk it!! :rofl
