Bird, carry a baseball bat in next time. Don't say a word, just pick it up occasionally. Yes, Pye DOES look like Rog. I names him for the Jimmy Stewart/Kim Novak movie 'Bell, Book, and Candle' cat!
YEAH, SUN!!! Time off, no matter where is a boon!
Fen come here this summer and you can harvest as much Kudzu as you want!!
Close to clobbering the man in the next room. Made a big, bountiful country dinner, and he complained before he filled his plate. Hmmm, thinking of retaliations.

Same one he's always had, MB. A corncob stuck up his rear!! :H

Trying to turn over a new leaf this year and be a better person and to let things roll off my back a little bit more than I have been. When it comes to hubs though, he makes it so difficult. It seems like when he is feeling low everyone around him is supposed to baby him and when he is sick forget it..... He is supposed to be babied and can be as big as a jerk as he wants and everyone is supposed to let him get away with it without a Peep from anyone. When I am sick I get no special consideration, he will even go as far to make my illness about him, things like .... What s Wrong with you?... You never want to be close to me anymore..... No dinner?.....Once I thought I was having a heart attack ( my Dad had open heart surgery at age 43) I am 47. After two hours of pain in my chest and unrelenting heart burn, I woke him up ( it was only 9 pm). He was very annoyed and told me that it was probably just anxiety and went back to bed.. When my youngest was 3 , she was very sick, but he had got it into his head that he wanted to go for a drive and so we did, burning up with fever and crying from her car seat,I told my husband that I wanted to drive her to the doctors because they were open for emergencies on Saturdays, by the time we got there everyone had left because he was driving so slow, normally he drives like a bat out of Hell., he was so angry that we just went home, stating that our 3 year old
Daughter was playing me like a fiddle. ( she had a fever of 103 ). Finally around ten that night I stated that i was taking her to the hospital with or without him. He came along. When the doctor saw her and took an dray he told me that she a pneumonia! As I walked out of the room to tell my husband ( he did not feel like waiting with us so he watched tv in the waiting area) he looked at me than said smugly Well? I told him what she had to which he stated. " So what, I had it when I was little and was fine)! He it again about 2 summers ago, our youngest had a high fever and neck pain and was crying that she could not move her head,we were camping in the hot sun and with each hour she got worse. I wanted to cut our camping trip short but he would not hear of it, she suffered for days using advil to help with her fever and tried to contain herself for her Dad,when we finally left Maryland and got back to NY I didn't unpack just got in the car and took her straight tote doctor, she had gotten bit by a tick just before we left and contracted Lyme meningitis! Again my husband showed no remorse for his bad behavior,he even started to think that he was developing symptoms too and was looking tome to baby him! What an asshole!!! Recently he had a kidney stone, I refused to drive him to the hospital and did not feel bad about it, the doctor had given him meds to help pass it,again he was looking for some baby time from me, I told him that I had vaginally delivered two almost eight pound babies and that he would be fine:H:H. Sorry had to vent. What an asshole he can be.. Now I meh posed to pity him for his problems and mine?. I DON'T THINK SO! G

Georgie, honey lamb, Google "Sociopath." and buy a copy of "The Dance of Anger" by Harriet Lerner. You've already applied some of the principles I learned from the book (I love you vaginally delivering two near 8 lb babies :H:H ) and you will learn some more techniques. He certainly is a Narcissist. But I'd add Sociopath to that as well. I worked with one. Charmed the birds out of the trees when he wanted to, but if things didn't go his way it was a very different story.

Well, update on the Ashe saga. Marcy and the kids didn't turn up at all (Orange duck in Freezer). Chris posted a very disturbing post of FB ending with "death will be my release." I was on the phone to Marcy double time, letting her know. She has the kids with her in Gingin but Paula hadn't contacted Ashe for permission to stop by here so she respected my stand and didn't. She could have let me know, though.
I also rang Paula to let her know about Chris's post and she must have called Brett because when I rang Marcy this morning she said that Chris has promised her and Brett he won't do anything stupid. What a selfish thing to do to his children, let alone Ashe.
Anyway, when I called Marcy this morning about Chris, she was at the park feeding the ducks (always these ducks and birds), and I was able to speak to Kaysi and Harlan. It was so wonderful to hear their voices and know they're happy and having a good time with Oma. I feel so much better knowing they're out of the scence down south. When Ashe rings to talk to them, Marcy is going to ask her permission to let them stop by when she takes them back.
HOT OFF THE PRESS

I just had a text from Ashe: "Mum I really need some help, I will be coming up to stay with you for a few days next week, I have no money at the moment, am really stuck, are you able to get something together, couple hundred? Maybe see if Brooke and Nea (my Mum) will chip in. If you can get to the bank and get it here today I'd be greatful (sic)! I need credit, food plus a few other things, plz xoxo love you mummy xxx"
I messaged back I'd have it in this afternoon. Then another text:Can you call me?"
I rang and we talked for a few minutes. The kids can stop by on the way home from Marcy's and after 17th (Evan's 1st birthday) she'll be coming up.
We talked a bit about Marcy, too. I'm so overjoyed. I hope I can convince her to stay a little (or a lot) longer, but time for that later.

I'm really happy to be able to share this with my special family here as it unfolds. I love you all so much and truly appreciate the love and support you've given me through this whole ghastly experience. That, and my faith, have given me the strength to stick to the course I have and not fall into a messy heap.
Now, bye for now...I'm off to the bank. And Fen, you'll get to meet my girl.
