I'm still on a natural, loving, thankful high, ecstatic that my loved ones are coming back into the fold, and they're excited about it! It takes a while when they are so young, and I only wish I could have pointed out some things before they complicated their lives.
But again, you guys/girls are the most fabulous. You make my days so much happier, the being alone so much easier. Thank you all, old (?) and new, for helping me change my life.

I have been so out of the loop here that I am starting from page 1 and reading this December thread. I am so happy that you all here. Hugs everyone.

I want to thank all of you for all the support. I?m sorry that I haven?t called any of you. It?s so hard to find privacy on the phone now. There?s always someone around.

Jan ? I?m happy that Papa Bear has a job. At least that is something positive. I?m really sorry that your Dad didn?t just help you out with the money. I don?t blame you for being upset.

K9 ? So happy to see you here & posting. Good job!

You all were talking about the red velvet cake. I keep thinking about the armadillo cake in Steel Magnolias. Funny.

Bird ? I don?t remember if I told you how great you are! But you are! Always doing so much for your kids. All the projects you do. Plus you are so beautiful. 

Grateful ? you are so sweet. Thank you for all the support. I?m so sorry that you are having a hard time.

Roger ? thanks for all the positive support & encouragement! I can always count on you. I?m glad that Sue went thru the surgery ok.

Ruby ? I really loved hearing about your granddaughters. That is such a wonderful thing. You have obviously done a wonderful job with them and given them the love & support that they need.

Tony ? How are things going with you? I always crack up at your pictures.

RC ? I am so happy for you! That is fantastic that your daughter is coming for Christmas. Wonderful! You?re going thru your house, huh? I need to go thru my house and get rid of 98% of the crap in here. My niece was talking about my great niece being a hoarder. Well that is me?..time for me to make a clean sweep & get rid of things.

Time ? you cracked me up with the comment about hiring somebody to decorate, wrap, etc. I?m trying to get in the mood. Bah humbug.

Swannie ? how are you doing? I have been thinking about you so much.

Zach ? glad to see you here again. Hang in there!

Sunnie ? you are such a sweetie. Always here for everyone. I still don?t understand about the boobies though!?!?

I know that I haven?t mentioned everyone. But my mind isn?t as sharp as it used to be. But, please know how much I care for each & every one of you. Big hugs to you all????.

Oh, NORA!!! The 'bleeding armadillo', how I love the lines from that movie!! 'There's nothing like a good piece of ass!' :H That was a hard movie for me to watch, though, because our daughter had such delicate health, and Julia Roberts has always reminded me of her. She seems to have one health crisis after another.
Speaking of, Swanny, how are you, baby love? I know your recovery has been difficult, and I, we, all worry about you and getting you well and healthy again.
Hubs told me I'm being too much of a sponge again, absorbing everyone's problems till I'm overcome. Maybe he's right. I don't know how to be any other way, b/c I've always been the fixer.As a child, when my parents were having problems, I tried to diffuse everything. My brother AND sister 'ran away', took off on trips without telling anyone, and even though I was just a teen, they called me to get them back home. Crazy days, and I can't seem to break the pattern. But I have broad, if somewhat slumped, shoulders, and I love that you all feel you can talk to me, share what's going on in your lives.
Birdy, I have a Santa suit somewhere. What can I bring YOU for Christmas? You do so much with what you have, and you should know, your children are watching and learning from your strength. You always amaze me!
Rog, hope Sue stays, rests, recovers, before she comes home for you to tend her. And I TRULY hope this operation gives her some relief.
If you're out there, lurking, reading, you are MOST welcome to join us. It's a selfish need for us, that we are able to share with any of you who are agonizing about jumping in here, hoping you can find a place to fit in. This is a perfect fit for everyone, and you are so welcome to join in.
Trap, hope to hear from you again soon. There's safety, and acceptance, in our numbers, OK?
Off to squeeze out this sponge and start a new day. So many of us are struggling, dealing with a truckload of crap, so let yourself go here, and get the support you need. Remember, only one of us is allowed to be crazy at a time!

G'day Jammers!
Gonna make it brief as I just spent much time trying to spill my guts in another thread. Hope it helps someone. Ok. No fostering for me. We chatted for a bit then she started with pets and their shots. Um no no, no shots for my animals. Never shot my kids up either with poisons. It is mandatory that pets have their vaccinations. I entertained it for all of 10 seconds(what was I even thinking doing that?). I said it goes against what I believe, what I do and who I am. Sorry. She stayed for another hour chatting about the system and the huge need. I think she may have been hoping I would change my mind. In the end she gave me the name of someone involved with community integration and thought that I might be able to fill a need there offering relief hours where the requirements aren't quite as regulated. We'll see...
Hope everyone is having a great day!
pssst Bird--don't forget bananas.
Rog-Hope Sue gets to rest real well before having to come home.
Tony you're pictures are a wonderment or as Sunny says the mind goggles.:H

I'm really sorry RC. I wish that had worked out for you.

Ruby - I'm also the fixer. But, I am ready to admit that I need help now. I don't know if anyone read my post on my journey.....but my very dear friend tried to commit suicide Wed. night. This week has just been one blow after another. I am really not doing as well as I am pretending. At least I am not on a total bender but I'm not AF either. One step at a time - just need to hang in there and get thru this.

Nora, darling, I've read between the lines a bit, and I know your heart and mind are over-taxed right now. But remember, you are of no use to anyone else, if you're not right with yourself. There are hard lessons to learn, at whatever age. Fix YOU, and let the others deal with themselves. I've had loved ones want me to 'fix' something, but they're not willing to make any changes. I've learned I can't fix that for them, and I refuse to do it. It's hard, because our heart aches for them, but not letting them be responsible for their own mess is a disservice to everyone.
As ya'll know, I've been posting about our oldest, step-granddaughter. I couldn't love her any more if I'd given birth to her. She's been reaching out, more and more, and today told me about things her mother (ex-bitch DIL) has done that left her and her babies in tears. I told her I won't run her mother down, talk about her, but I understand and will take up where she's let Beck and family down. I know Beck wouldn't give up her babies for anything, but she's just 20, has 2 babies, and no education, because EBD didn't support, advise, love her enough. She told me her 'Daddy Rick' (my son) cares more about her than her biological parents, and it's true. Our son's grandfather built him a racecar bed, when he was 5. He gave it to her, for her boys, and she's been working hard to redo it for them. We were both in tears by the end of our chat conversation, and she really wants to be involved in our family, gatherings, again. So, as much as it has hurt her, she has seen where the love is, and wants to come back home. I can't describe how I'm feeling about it, but I will do everything I can to include her and her family, so she can have a feeling of belonging again.
Thanks for listening to my vent.
