The Journey is here...Get your ass in gear !

Good Morning all! Jan - why hadn't you told Hubs about the Ant? didn't he wonder why you weren't drinking at all? I am glad that he know now though - for you!

Bird - I agree - how on earth can someone do that - to take your own life is one thing, but to play God and kill your own family is just plain wicked - that poor woman who has lived - oh my gosh!! I just can't imagine.

Hi Panno - foot is doing fine - I just hate getting older - everything takes twice as long to get better!

Grateful - of course all us mums would do the same - it just sounds so ...well, so tiring..to have a child back home again! I agree that if there is no alternative then I would too - but it would be hard - you are a good person with a lovely heart! But then we all knew that already!! You are a sweetie.

Off to the dentist this morning - hopefully last appt until cleaning time. Hi to everyone who isn't here yet!

Hugs to you all, Sun xx

Sweet Bird-I forgot you this morning...sorry about that. Are you feeling better since your surgery? I hope you just relax today as you are tired....it's okay to do that, you know. Why couldn't that man just kill himself...why kill his precious children and shoot his wife? I hope your kids don't know them....I just can't even imagine.

I think I told everyone about my daughter's sis-in-law who was recently diagnosed with stomach cancer..she is only 28 and has an 11 month old daughter. She had her surgery yesterday and they had to remove her entire stomach...they made a new stomach from her small intestine...I'm not sure how that works. She is in intensive care and was very upset when she found out that they had to take the whole stomach. She will still have to go thru chemo which makes me wonder if they found cancer somewhere else....she's never left her daughter overnight with anyone - not even her Mom - so I know it's going to be a hard week for her while she is in the hospital. She is such a sweet girl and I'm glad that I got to spend time with her this summer at the beach..My daughter is helping her M-I-L take care of the baby. It's just so sad. Makes me realize that no matter what challenges I face, it could always be worse.

it is amazing what medicine can do today isn't it????
my thoughts are with her
one of my 18 year old son's buddies was shot by his father this past spring
mom was in shower....got out to find 11 year old daughter and 17 year old son dead in their beds and then husband shot himself...let her alive to deal with it all...it was awful
sometimes people just snap....

Sunni...dont know why i didn't tell him....just didn't want any grief from him I guess...and no not noticed....but I was very sneaky and every time he asked if i was drinking i would say, nooooooooo

Oh my, so much pain and trauma here today.
Bird, I'd read about that. It seems once a week I read about parents hurting/killing their children. There's a special place in hell for them, or anyone who hurts children. Just read today about a beautiful little girl who is 'mysteriously' missing in North Carolina. Just DON'T get how messed up you can be to do that.
OADN, Bird, your frozen wading pool refilling with babies is priceless!
Pan, I couldn't help but note the boy in the pick has on a 'Georgia' t-shirt. :H
MB, I really don't give a rat's ass about what celebs do. When my friend's superstar son made the Enquirer for infidelity/separation, I told her this is nothing any family hasn't experienced, but we rarely make the national news. (They worked through their problems, recently celebrated their 20th anniversary.) Read the 'news' this morning, and a lot was focused on celebrity marriage problems. Ashton and Demi, Courtney and David, my 'branch' cousin Jack Camp and the stripper. There's a place for everything, I know, but if the focus was more on REALLY caring than satisfying a momentary urge, what a better place this would be. 'Absolute power corrupts' is an old adage I believe.
Grateful, I make no judgements. You know in your heart this is going to be difficult, mostly for you. I don't know your son's history, relationship, so can't comment. But, do NOT let yourself be caught in the crossfire. It seems your son is old enough, and has a history with his girlfriend, and you know the situation, so this is your choice.We'll be here to support you. And I'm SO sorry about the friend.I've been too many time in my life, standing helpless on the sidelines. She's going to need a lot of help to get through this.
On a lighter note, my team of little fairy cleaners will be here in a minute, and I will be a harsh master. Have a chicken pot pie and salad lunch planned for them, and will keep them hydrated while i crack my black leather whip. Hubs says he doesn't care who I pay, as long as it get done, and I'm happy with it. SOOoooo many things to work out.
Vick, hoping you're feeling better and taking your meds. And i agree, you don't need to post your e-mail out here. Everyone is NOT one of us. You are a trusting, loving, person, but you've been hurt by others you trusted easily. We just want to protect you.
All you missing (Tony, show your self!) Swanny, Biz, Time, (you know who you all are, and my swiss cheese memory won't let me call off all you beloved names! :H) report in. BTW, please add to the progressive story. It's all in fun, and apparently is enjoyed my many, not to my credit but to everyone else who has joined in the fun.
Rog, hope things are going well, love.
Off to my day. Please all, be good, safe, sober, and happy.

Biz, that is lovely, as is the thought behind their beginning. It's obvious how deeply your loss has affected you, but I know you have strong beliefs, and Ryan is your little angel now, and will be there for you. Babies, children, who leave us have a special place.

Please people, pay attention to your neighbors..............Relative: Missing NC girl had 'terrible' home life - Welcome to Charter.net
