Yes loves, I am fine
I passed out at 8:30 last night and woke up late and raced to work. I was exhausted from the lack of sleep the previous night and all the bullshit in my life.
But I feel much better
WELCOME WHINER!!!
Pauly, I feel so bad for you. I guess 23 makes it tough, but if she is addicted to Spice, I think you have rights as a parent, don't you?? It IS drug addiction, after all.
I had to go to four or five therapists until I found one I was comfortable with. This was when I first battled depression about 25 years ago.
Fen - a seven mile hike????? Damn girl...I would be bitching the entire 7 miles
Hi Sunni Butt:h
Liz - I lost my license for six months, but it turned out to be longer due to classes, insurance, etc. I had to kind of drag it out as I could afford it. Fortunately I have three men in my life with cars, so they hauled me around.
Bri and I had a long talk this morning. I will update you all later.
No Pop update, but I honestly expect my phone to ring at any minute.
I love you all...you are my sanity

What are you studying at uni??
Thanks for the HR perspective
and one of my favorite sayings is......I am going into my blanket fort and coloring now"

Welcome winer. It took me awhile to figure this out too. Just hang in there.
Pauly, I get that whole Michele thing. There really isn't much you can do. My CJ wanted to move to st. Lucia with her bf. her dad and I had a fit, but ultimately the love birds are not able to support themselves yet so we had some leverage there. We compromised and she went for three weeks. This mommy stuff ain't easy.
So much snow and ice today, we are weary. Even hubby who normally loves snow has had enough. We are hoping not to lose power! Thankfully we are all home and safe.

x post Liz...
hate to say it's 70 degrees here, but about to pour down rain
If my 21 year old left me and was doing Spice, I would flip out. I don't know what I would do.
That drug is killings kids.....I saw a lot of it in state mandated therapy from my DUI.
I guess all we can do when they hit a certain age is trust and pray

Snowing again here..there is a layer of ice on the 3 inches that fell last night and little doggies just walk on top of it all they are a little slow going...
Staying in today. This is just such a mess and I am needing some sunshine and warmth....
Glad I am out of the work fracas....my last boss was a major bully and am so glad to be sitting here watching it snow..have volunteer things I want to do but they will have to wait until the spring thaw..

Hi Everyone!

Thanks for all the support and nice words yesterday. Sierra and I had a talk last night, and I guess it all boils down to the fact that she thinks I don't listen...so I am working on that. I guess I have a bad "habit" of trying to find the answer or make light of things. She just wants me to listen, so OK, I will focus on that. I feel like we are still very close, and this will bring us closer eventually. My main goal now is to find her a psychiatrist. AND she says she doesn't like her therapist, so I don't know...should I start all over and find a new one? I know the answer to that is YES...but *sigh*.....will it ever end???

You guys are awesome at keeping up with everyone! I have read everything and I have it all in my mind, but please forgive me if I can't put it all down in words. You guys are just the best...let me just say that :l

Will post later after I finish waking up. lol

Love y'all! :h

Dots- I SO wish I cold putter and be in peace...but that ain't gonna happen any time soon!! LOL
K9 - truth be told, I probably talk over my kids and should listen better. And mine are boys, so I can only imagine how it is with an uber-sensitive girl.
So...good job on talking and now you can go forward, right!!
Bri cried and told me how hurt she was by my reaction and she thought she could to me with anything.......I told her that she could, but she crossed the line in a few areas and I am NOT tolerating that. I also reminded her that I had my own issues (Pop) and her drama wasn't helping.
I also reminded her of some past drama and she settled down a little. She is out there working away right now, and I think she is terminating the pregnancy. I am probably opening a HUGE can of worms here, but I believe in a woman's right to choose, and this is a child that would definitely suffer.
We'll see...she may change her mind tomorrow, but there is a frosty peace for now.
off to scrounge for some leftovers for lunch...
xoxo

Enjoy the relative peace while it lasts Mama! I agree that this child of Bri's would definitely suffer in the long run. I could never personally terminate...but I am a huge fan of PREVENTION!!!! I hope she learns a lesson from all of this. I don't know how you'd feel about bringing this up, but I have an implant in my arm that prevents pregnancy (and periods) for 3 years! It's called Nexplanon and it was covered by my insurance. Now I will have all of you know....since I don't get to play checkers any more, the sole purpose of this is to prevent periods. God only knows what a raging bitch I would be with PMS thrown into the mix. :H

We talked about prevention, but what's done is done, I guess.
She just left as she is sick.
And now it's really nice and quiet!
I fell bad for her but you all are so right about creating space.
This is me being a sicko, but one of the best things about chemo was no more periods!!
