Nope not her daddy, but he was with us from the time she was 1 year old until 8....so she HATES him for leaving us. It took me SO LONG to get over him, and then for him to text me out of the blue, on that day of all days. I didn't even have his number before that. I just thought OMFG...he acts like I stalk him. I hadn't talked to him in like 2 years!!

do you sort of , kind of want to talk to him??
8 years is a long time. I would probably be weak.....

I USED to want to still talk to him, but after finding out how Sierra really feels about him, I never would. He comes up at her therapy sessions....she literally HATES him!!

OMFG (again). The background investigator just contacted me to see why I checked "no" on the "can we contact this employer?" question. Well for starters, one of them fired me while I was on maternity leave so I sued them and WON....not to mention that they sold the company shortly after and I have no idea what it's even called now!

Second, the other one was a Temp Job FIFTEEN years ago and honestly I can't even remember my managers name!!! I told them to just check with HR at the huge company I was assigned at, they should have something. For crying out loud!!!! He said this could "delay" the process....no SHIT. Doesn't everything delay the effin process? Sorry, I am in a mood today!!!!!!!!!

143...mood swings are the norm when you first go AF, babe:h
K9 - that SUX... I think you could run for President now!! President K9....HBIC!!!!:H
and I am glad you know Sierra's feeling and chose to honor them....if HE came back in the picture he would really be a wreck....I think is half the issue with Bri's daughter......

I didn't know you had been fired on maternity leave. Ouch!! I am being SO careful with Bri and most of that is due to her pregnancy....and ...believe it or not.....I am really a nice person.....don't faint...

oh, and 143...this is my safe place to vent, be silly and let out lots of stuff, so some of us post a lot....

Dottie and Mama - yeah, I could totally be running the country after this investigation! LOL

And yes, I left work at 5 months pregnant because my doctor wrote me out....then before I even had her, they sent me a letter telling me that I no longer had my position. Well, being the way I am, you know I immediately sued their asses!! And I won, and was able to take a YEAR off of work to stay at home with her. You ARE a nice person Mama, but there's only so much you can put up with, but I WOULD be careful with her in this "delicate" condition. LOL

Sierra is deeply hurt over the Ex leaving us like he did...I guess it affected her more than I thought at the time, but I know it comes up in her therapy. And she loves Alateen now, so that's good

I need to sneeze, but I'm scared it might hold up my background check. HA

LOL Niner....
I am fully aware of how "delicate" the situation is.....grrrrrrrr
I was a foster child and livedin the system from 3 till 10 years og age. I had a new Mommy and Daddy every year. At the ripe old age of 53, I STILL have abandonment issues, so I understand Sierra's feelings. She's lucky to have you and be surrounded by so much stable, loving family. Tell her that story some day if you ever need to....

what kind should I get?
will skwerls eat them

Skwerls WILL eat them! Also, birds will peck a hole in them, occasionally. I had to put bird netting up around mine to protect them, but I live in a very skwerly neighborhood. Skwerls usually attack when it's really dry and they need moisture, at least that's my theory.

Although they can be a little fussy, I love Brandywine tomatoes- huge, gorgeous and tasty. I also love Cherokee Purple, Big Beef, Beefsteak, Mortgage Lifter for the larger varieties. For cherry tomatoes, I get Sun gold or Sun sugar...but really, any cherry tomato plants you find will probably do well. They are usually trouble free. Sun Gold do well in hotter climates.

K9, Holy filet-o-Fuck! Seriously? Do your prospective bosses want to talk to your kindergarten teacher as well?

You know, this senior home health job wanted job references so far back...I literally could not recall the name of my nurse manager for my first dialysis job...and she's since moved to San Fran, anyway. Talk about over-kill!

Ex BF was trying to salvage his pride when he texted you after your "Eff off". Sounds like a gem.

Keeping my fingers crossed for your mom. I'm glad your family has such a great support network. Really makes all the difference. Glad your folks like the doctor, too. :h
