Thank you, Ruby. I really have missed being here and don't know why I hide-I think it's a self-esteem issue, but I'll keep working on that. I need to keep your quote in mind "being happy from the inside out" and ignore when others around me are putting me down. Anyway, I hope you have a great day and stay cool. It's just so hot everywhere...kind of scary when you think of the bad winter we had and now this extremely hot summer.

Grateful, who you are depends on NO ONE else's opinion. You are you. And you are important. Remember that, always. Not everyone is as feisty as me, and I've had problems with it, too. But I'm SO proud of you, and we miss you when you're not around.
Lots of paperwork to do today. Getting ready for court tomorrow. Really hate the idea, but hate even more being used and abused.
Hub's duck is happy to see him each day. Another of God's creatures. He loves having attention, gobbles (appropriately!) up the food Hubs takes. ALMOST ready to trust us enough to let us touch him. He and Sadie have become friends. Only hope if we bring him home the big dogs give him the chance to do that. It's a dance you know, with animals, and their nature. Humans could, and SHOULD, be more understanding and tolerant. I don't bite the hand that feeds me, but don't want to be bitten back. There's always another option.
Friends, don't give anyone, or anything, power over you. You are important, who you are, and what you do and feel. Yes, love is power. But if it is true love, it wants the best for you. I B & M about Hubs, my family, HIS family, but the love is real. And I take the best of it, discard the rest for many reasons. Love is kind. Love is respectful. Love does not hurt. Love does not judge. Anything else is existing, and that's not what we want from our lives. Many self-medicate to endure their lives. That's not living.
Sorry to get on my soapbox again. I've been waxing philosophical lately. All this paperwork, I guess. Off to have my bowl of Special K with yogurt for lunch.

God morning everyone - grateful, lovely to hear from you. Self esteem doesn't come into it on this site - we are all the same! You are as lovely as the next person and we miss you when you aren't here. I sometimes feel that I am not good enough - and then someone will make just one little comment about me and it makes me feel great and realise that I am a worthwhile good person - you too are great! And as for people around you putting you down - what makes their opinion right? Just a thought.....

Fleur - welcome - we are a good crowd here - well done on the 3 days - it is a very hard road, but as Ruby said, if it was easy, we wouldn't be here!

Biz - your upcoming holiday sounds wonderful - I do hope you enjoy it. you sound as if you are going to have a blast - you have come SO far - go you!! My foot is okay - hurting quite a bit which is odd as it didn't hurt in the splint but does in this stupid airboot. I go back to work on Monday.

Ruby - bags I have first go on the zipslide - that looks awesome! I love things like that. T - please can you build it - please please please huh????

MB, glad that you are up too! I slept in this morning - there was a storm in the night and Maggie kept scratching the side of the bed, so i kept stroking her thinking she just wanted to be reassured - it was only after about 20 mins when she finally went round to Hubs side and scratched there that I realised she needed to go OUT! Trouble is when we got to the back door - 'cos of the lightening and thunder she was really hard to get out!! So all in all, with foot too, it was a restless night. At least it is a tad cooler this morning.

Gold, Maslow - how are you doing. Vicki - how about you? Seems a while since we heard from you - be nice to hear how you are doing.....

Love and hugs to you all,

Sun xx

Go get it and put it in the pool, pup!
HATE this paperwork. Can't seem to get all I want together. I have to keep reminding myself he has NO paperwork. I have some fault here: Trusting him. Don't know what that will mean in court tomorrow.
I'm going alone. Hubs depends on me for this stuff. Likes he's said before I'm the brain, he's the brawn. Still, it's tough to think about. He's there with me in a second, if I call. But I can do this, by myself. This is MY house, my decision, so I'll do it MYSELF. Would like to have you guys at my back, though.

We are with you Ruby!! I think it is totally wrong that you have to go to court to get anything!! I agree with you though on trusting people - I don't so much anymore - before I worked in retail, I thought everyone was honest. HA!!!! What a joke. You and your hubs sounds like me and mine - I do all the paperwork and take care of all that kind of stuff - wish I was nearer, I would be with you there tomorrow - you are going to have to accept I am there in spirit. You are a good person Ruby and I hate to see you going through this - hang in there and know I am with you !!

Love and hugs to you,

sun xx

I know, Rog, but don't want him to take time off from work to back me up in my job. Besides, you know I'm scarier than anyone else!!

Sunny, I'm invisible!!
T, I am the keeper of the files. Nothing (except his agreements with our son) get past me, and I'm tightening the screws on that one. Tired of not being able to take vacations, go shopping, because of my nutty ex-DIL. I've always done things on my own. It's just me. But trust me, my backup is there, with a phone call. Still think I'm more scary than they are. For some reason, every letter is addressed to me from our renters. Just joking, but I DO keep u with the law, like this guy thinks he does. 'No gain without recompense.'
Tony, you're certifiable, you know!!

Well, I wrote a long post this morning but it got lost somewhere. Fleur, welcome to our family! Congrats on 3 AF days! I love your avatar, so cheery! Road, I can't tell you how happy I am to see you back with us. I hope you read all my apologies and have forgiven me. I would never say anything to hurt anyone intentionally. Sunshine, so glad you are back with us and not beating yourself up. We all get weak sometimes, but the most important thing is not to give up. MB, you did so good making it so long. Please don't get discouraged! Biz, hope you have a wonderful vacatioon with your family! Phoenix, congrats on day 13! I was right there with you until I drank a bottle of wine last night. Grateful, I feel the exact same way, but don't want to crawl out of my hole just yet. I am so proud of you making it 11 months sober! That is so awesome! Well, hubby has a severe case of gout and cannot get up out of his recliner, so I am having to wait on him hand and foot while I am in incredible pain myself! I'm trying to clean house because my kids are coming down for the weekend, as it is my son's birthday. I desperately need to go grocery shopping, but need a ride. It really sucks that I cannot see well enought to drive! Oh, well, I'm crawling back in my hole now. Just wanted to check in and let everyone know I am fine. I love you all so much! Vicki
