prequel to 'parents' on 2008-03-31 22:43:18 |

Thank goodness you had L to listen to. I would have given you the exact same advice. Yes, responding to her will only upset you, and do nothing for her besides break open an arguement which will then make you flaming hot, and who will be the winner then??? She will not let it bother her. I'm afraid you will end up suffering the most. Honey my prayers are with you. A soul can only take so much manipulation...I pray you will find the inner strength to calmly face your mother with a smile and KNOW you have over come her control.
God Bless You Sweetheart!

I'm sorry your mother has heaped this load of resentment on you. A mother should be there for her children through out their lives to support them and love them. Yes, that role does change...it changes as the child grows...it changes from a baby to a child, and from a child to a teenager, and it changes again from a teenager to an adult. But the love, and respect should always be there. I'm sorry your mother makes you feel this anger inside. You don't deserve that. No one does. Try to let it go...try to forgive her, because it uses too much of YOUR precious energy. Your life is now YOUR life, don't let your anger for her control ANY of it. Wash it away!
Much luv 2 U!!

Brainstormer...
You have no idea how much I wish I could help you, or how I wish I'd have the magic words to turn your life around. But I know words won't help. I know what you are looking for is close companionship, and nothing anyone says will mend your broken and lonely heart. Just try to keep the faith. OK?
I loved your poem. It was beautiful, and very full of feeling. WOW...what talent!
I'm keeping you in my prayers guy!
Luv 2 U!

Miscommunication from the island on 2008-03-29 01:19:16 |

Hi Brainstormer,
Some of what you said is true in a sense...none of us REALLY know eachother on here. We only expose what we want everyone to see of us. But the human heart does have faith and love in it, and although we don't fully know eachother enough to recognize one another on the street if we were to meet, we still feel affection and concern for eachother. I don't know you like I know my neighbor across the street, but I care for you in a completely different way. My heart aches for you when I read a post like the one you just wrote, because I can feel your pain.
Like Gwatlan said, there will always be those who will disagree with you or turn away from you for some reason or another, you can't control that. You can only control your own life, not the life and feelings of others.
Also, I believe what swordmaiden meant was, you can't DEPEND on others to make YOU happy. You have to love yourself first, before you can accept love from someone else.
A significant other can come along and BRING you incredible happiness, but she can't MAKE you happy. You MAKE yourself happy by liking who you are.
If you always see the worst in you, that is what you tend to show others.
Am I making any sense??
I want you to be happy.
I want you to enjoy life.
I want you to see what a terrific guy you are, and I want the world to see it too!!
God Bless!!!

Ohhhwww...you Brainstormer, are the most sweetest guy!! You know, your complex personality has so many wonderful qualities. I knew from when you left your first comment on one of my first post, that you were a very interesting guy. I had my "feelings" about you. I since, have gotten to know you much better and discovered on of the most unique and special individuals I've ever had the pleasure of getting to know. You are MY FRIEND!! I do TRULY CARE ABOUT YOU!! and I will not call you BS anymore!! :) Hugs!

Well BS, I won't dare tell you what you expect to here. I will tell you the truth, only the truth, I hope you can deal with the truth, and it doesn't send you into a silent zone. That would make me very sad. :(
What has kept us together??? Well he thinks he's perfect...God'd gift to this world. hee- hee. He does love me, I know that. But he didn't learn how to share with his brothers very easily...and he still doesn't know how to share well in a family unit. So it causes problems. Like the post above...it didn't involve HIM personally so why should he bother wasting HIS precious time. Well I'm just the opposite. I share EVERYTHING to a fault. If I buy something for myself and love it, I have to give it to someone else just so they can love it too. My younger sister thinks I'm insane. If I love a purse, I will buy it, then give it to her, and keep my old one. Just because I feel like I can just go get a new one for myself any time, but I can't feel good about having something, if someone else doesn't have one too. I know, it's retarted, but that's just how I am. So I just know my husband is a good man, he really is, he's just selfish. And I'm not selfish, so we equal eachother out. He thinks I'm a pain in his ass because I keep giving people stuff, and I think he's a bigger pain in the ass for not helping people... so we are even. We don't not love eachother...we just get on eachother's nerves.
Believe me...if you were thinking I was going to say I'm staying with him for the sake of the kids, you are wrong. I would NEVER stay with a man for that reason. I think kids are better off in a home that is happy not a two parent home that is unhappy. So that is my answer to your question, Mr. Brainstormer. Are we still talking now?

Hi TJ...
I should have known your husband would have not got involved...ha-ha...didn't you say we were married to the same guy? Only difference it seems is mine doesn't mind conflict that much as long as it gets HIM what HE wants.
My son hasn't said anything else about it. He just said he laughs we he see's his principle now, but tries to stay out of her sight. He also said he isn't going to that library for a long time unless he absolutely HAS to. He's pretty embarrassed over it. He's likes to be thought of as a tough boy, not a nerdy kid who's mom comes and fights his battles. That's what he's embarrassed about. I just told him, some day he'll understand why I did what I did. Those adults were trying to take away his rights, and being he was a kid, he couldn't fight them like another adult could. It was MY job.
Thanks for your kind words... you are so sweet!!!
Luv 2 U!

Brainstormer, that is just toooooo much information! Gross...I would NEVER want ice cream in a hot bath or a hot tub, I agree that would be yucky...but Honey, I didn't actually need to know about your internal workings and how the hot water and cold ice cream would affect your bowels. Nice picture! Can you please remove that from my head now?? When you are outside on a hot summer day, and come in the house don't you ever crave a big icy cold bottle of water? Boy I do, and that is exactly how I feel when I get out of my hot bubble baths. Well enough of that.
Have a nice night, and keep that bathroom tissue close by. Oh...I just keep seeing that little brainstormer guy you have as your profile picture pooping in that pot now. You better fix this!!

Well Hi Brainstormer. Ohhh it's not going to work...you aren't going to make me mad at YOU!!!! NO way!!! But I will address your comments... No I didn't say there were more women at this meeting. Actually there were MORE MEN. 2 women besides myself, and 3 men besides my husband. So he could have easiler spoke up, but he didn't want to take part in this whole thing because it has nothing to do with HIM PERSONALLY, therefore it is a waste of HIS time. I know that may sound harsh, but that is basically how he is. He normally is a very outspoken man, with high principles and when he feels HE'S been wronged...watch out, he speaks out LOUD AND CLEAR.
Leaving his work is not a problem, he sets his own schedule. He is an investor, and is very flexible with his time, as long as it is something he WANTS to involve himself in. THIS HE DID NOT. So he was being a big ass! When it was all over, and we left that office, he was feeling happy again because he knew he wouldn't be asked to help me out with this anymore, although he wouldn't lift one finger to help until that morning when I begged him to at least come to that meeting. So when he made that remark thinking he was Mr. Funny man, I didn't find it one bit funny, I was quite offended and pissed that he could just blow off all my work in one brief second like it was a big joke. Then when he was speeding...He was driving like way too fast. I warned him twice to slow down, but noooo, he kept it up...so he deserved it. I could of sat back and let him dig himself into a hole with the police officer, but I helped him. I thought I was being nice.
Sorry if I got you worked up over this, you don't need to defend HIM...he can stand on his own two feet. Trust me!
Thank You though for caring enough to give me tough love. ;) I'd never get mad at you for that, nor will I ever stop being your friend...SO THERE---> :P (that's your sign) :)

Thank You FarAway, I am enjoying knowing that the kids won the battle, I was just their fighting for them. What would these schools turn out like in 20 years if we slowly let the school systems start taking their God given rights away. The land of the FREE...that is where we live! Not some communist country. The land of the FREE! Schools teach in 5th grade about the Constitution and all the Amendment. Well lets start practicing what we teach!
Thank you for sharing your comments. I love to hear from you!
God Bless!

Hi foxx_flie,
OMG...I love you too!!! hee-hee-hee!!!
Oh...he was acting like a big ass!! Oh yeah, he was trying to be funny...ha-ha...really funny...I was really laughing hard...ohh...he cracked the big funny...ha-ha. NOT!! Normally if he would of said that, had he helped me I would of thought it was sweet, but not after he made it painfully clear "I was on my own with THAT fight." He should of kept his wise cracks to himself at that point. Anyway...Thank you for your sweet comment. See you at your stop!
God Bless!

Colorado, alot could hold true on your view about my husband not wanting to make things worse, that's why he didn't want to take a stand with me. But he is a very vocal person, with very strong opinions, which is why when I needed him to help me help our son, and the rest of these kids, and he just turned away, I felt like we just weren't a priority. His work came first. He has a self centered personality, and if it doesn't involve him personally, he could care less about it. I'm just happy it's over and we can move on. Thank you for your caring comment. I always so appreciate hearing from you!
With love!

It works wonders BS. Remember Turn the water on hot, run it full blast pour in the bubbles...I like jasmine with lavender scent. Now I think you misunderstood something. I don't take the ice cold water bottle IN the tub with me. Its for AFTER my hot bath. I'm so relaxed after my bath, and I feel so comfy, I crave (the addiction) a icy (half frozen) bottle of water. It's sooooo refreshing. I feel so good inside and out. Now go try it. I won't tell anyone. It'll be our little secret. I'll watch form the closet. hee-hee ;)

Hi, I'm Keepdreaming, and I have an addiction to bubblebaths, with a huge bottle of water waiting in the freezer when I'm finished. It's true. It's a real addiction, I have to have one every single night!! My bath has to be steamy hot, bubbles have to be piled up so high they are floating everywhere, and my water bottle HAS to be partly frozen with little ice crystals in it. If I am on vacation, and can't have my bubble baths, with my half frozen bottled water, I literally have withdrawls. I become achy and tense, and crabby. But once I get in my Bubble bath, it's like someone gave me the best drug in the world. I'm in La-La land.
I used to be addicted to tylenol PM to help me sleep but my doctor made me stop taking it. So now I just stay up till I'm so tired I can't keep my eyes open...which is sometimes 1:30 am.
Those are my addictions!

You are so darn funny I just crack up all the way through your posts. I sware, between your love,lust encounters with Beast and all your guy friends treating you to free lunches :), in hopes that they may get lucky down the road, you have your pretty little hands full girlfriend. hee-hee-hee! Oh do I remember that well! The trouble I got myself into.
As far as Beast, it sounds to me that he is more into you than you are to him, so I wouldn't feel so weird about getting closer to him. Although I do know how you feel about wanting him to think you have the upper hand. It's a nice feeling to know he doesn't think of you in the same way he thought of those other old girlfriends. So I'd try to keep at least some kind of "something different" than his other relationships. But you seem to have things right where you want them!! ;)
Lots of luv!

Oh...I hate headaches. I have suffered from headaches all my life. I have had migraines, sinus headaches, and tension headaches. Finally I went to a Headache Doctor this past summer, he ran a series of test...(a ton of them) and told me ALL OF MY headaches were migraines. He had this scale...and showed me that each headache I had during the past 2 months...(I had to keep a headache chart, indicating what type of headach I was having on a scale of 1-5)was actually a migraine of different degrees. He said I live in a "migraine zone" meaning according to the test, I have high anxiety, so my headache where higher on the scale, which topped the chart easier. So whenever I had a headache it topped over the migraine zone. Does any of this make sense yet? Anyway...he put me on Topamax, a medication to prevent migraines and said when I go off it I would have to be weened off it. I asked him what this all had to do with my anxiety level. He said...People that have high anxiety have a higher level of a certain horemone going through their brain, which without treatment will cause severe migraines. Boy was he right, because I've been taking Topamax since last summer and the only headaches I get now are during that time of the month. It's a miracle. I lived walking around holding my head for years. It was horrible. I was soo worn out from them. Now I have energy and feel great. Pull that medicine up on your computer, read about it. See if it sounds like something that could be of help to you.
Good Luck, and God Bless!!!!
I'll keep you in my prayers!

Hi roe...
I can't really comment honestly on this one, because if you look at my bookmarks...those really are the only blogs I go to. ssshhh ...ooops Well I do pop in on others time to time and leave my comments, but I just don't have the time to read on and on. I stick to my favorites and that's about it. The people who comment on mine, if they are not on my bookmarks or friends list, I will check them out and then read their's and pop in on them occasionally too. But I think it's gotten so competitive. For what reason??? I just write to unwind and to share my thoughts, not to make some list.
Thats my opinion. For what it's worth.
God Bless!

Preparing For A Miracle on 2008-03-24 21:24:59 |
|
CD...What a wonderful post. I'm a firm believer in that!! God grants us little miracles each day. We may not even notice them. As they connect to eachother, they turn into a bigger miracle, then one day we do see it. It may be as simple as a wrong turn in the road. Or a cold that brought you to the doctor, only to find something more serious, so you are treated early. God grants us miracles everyday. Never disregard anything that comes to us as just a coinicidence. It is God guiding us through this life here on earth.
Thank you Colorado, for reminding me to look more closely and trust in what comes my way!
God Bless You!!!

I agree EasyToSay, I was not giving up on that! I lost more sleep over that because I just could not let it go!!
I had to fight for that right for these kids and what our schools in this country were trying to take away from them. I just wouldn't give up! My husband just sat by like none of this even bothered him, but boy the first time he gets caught speeding,(which is his own fault for breaking the law)he goes into "Mr Arrogant, how dare anyone stop ME"...routine. Where was that side of him when I was fighting the school? He had no interest in standing up with me then. He sat in that big office this morning saying NOTHING the entire time, like this was all his wifes doing, and he had no part in it.
So Thank You for your comment, and for seeing my side, it made me feel better. God Bless!!!

luckyluci,
now I would NEVER be upset at you for any comment, it's only your opinion... and I know you are not familiar with the way this entire thing has played out. It has been one not so pretty battle. I have been up to the school a number of times with complaints, due to the fact that the principle was avoiding me. She was aware of the situation through the Librarian. So I went to the Superintendant. That raised holy hell with the principle, so she then made a POINT to see me. It was ugly. Nothing was resolved so I addressed the school board at the school board meeting, which was very intimidating and ugly as well. Nipping in the bud that if my son recieved any fall out from this, the school system would have the biggest law suit they had ever seen. ALL this time MY husband refused to get involved. He wanted nothing to do with it. Thinking I was dealing with fire. I wouldn't back down. I lost more sleep over this. I so wanted him to talk to about this, to bounce things off him, but he didn't even want to talk to me about it. He just would say..."Hey you're on your own with this one!" So when they finally called and said they wanted to meet with all of us, I begged him to come, just to present a unified front, even though he was not helping me out. so when he made that comment about "cute sexy mom bitch" It totally made me sick that NOW that I won this fight, he was ready to joke around about it. Give me a break!
That was my problem with it.
Anyway...Thanks for the encouragement on the battle with the school!!!!
I appreciate the support!!!
God Bless!!!

LEAVING THE PAIN BEHIND............. on 2008-03-22 01:44:13 |

Finally, it is written somewhere what I have always said and lived by. You can't TRULY forgive someone unless you forget as well. How can you forgive someone for something, but then say, "but I will never forget you did that."? Just by saying those words, means you are holding some resentment. Therefore, you truly are not forgiving them completely. If you forgive, you forget and move ahead. Period! I have taught my kids that...and I live that way.
We all need forgiveness at times!
Thank you for posting this.
God Bless!!!

I am just soo happy for all of you. I prayed so hard for you and your son and family. Right now I'm sitting here balling like a little baby!!! Yes, I must be nut!! Good thing I have that box of tissue sitting here thatnks to Hollis's post's. :) You should have saw her goofy little kitten picture she had on a week ago. It was hysterical, but then she had the most beautiful post, so I'm crying reading this post, and laughing looking at this kitten...all the while peeking to make sure my husband doesn't walk in and see me, he would have thought I was having a breakdown. I would have said "Hollis did it!!" Now, it's YOUR fault!
I'm just so happy right now, I can feel your joy!!!

I know how you feel Honey, and I know how hard it is to think about all the things you will miss sharing with him. But if I may share something with you... You don't have to stop talking to your Uncle, or stop sharing things with him. Continue doing that...because he IS with you, he is RIGHT BESIDE you all the time. Do you like to read? If so, go into Amazon.com and order the book "Blessings from the Other Side" by Sylvia Browne It's a wonderful book. She helps explain how our loved ones that have passed away are with us all the time. Now I don't actually believe everything she believes, but I do believe that our loved ones that pass away are always with us, helping us through out our life here on this earth. My Mother passed away when I was a little girl, and I KNOW she has helped me a billion times. She loved to bake, and baked all the time, well I too love to bake, and when I do, I feel her beside me joking with me. It's weird but fun, and very special and comforting. So instead of being sad, find ways to be with him, and keep him alive in you. OK?
God Bless Sweetie!

Now I just ask God to help me control the switch between my brain and my mouth. Somethings are better unsaid. Walk away and let it go. Thank you for you comment. I always LOVE hearing from you!
God Bless!

There I go with the tissues again Hollis. Darn you! You bring tears to My eyes. Then I look us and see that goofy little kitty and start laughing. So now I'm crying and laughing at the same time. I feel like I'm a crazy person. That piece is so beautiful, Thank you for sharing it, during this Holy Week.

Oh Hollis...welcome to MY world! It will get better. Unless you live in my house that is! I love that little tiger. How cute! My Daughter sees a counslor for her OCD, and she has had some mouthy problems herself, not to mention my other two. So this therapist, has a professional way to handle this. It works! Get a bunch of index cards. Write chores on them. Depending on the age of the child, we were told 1/2 hour for each chore. My daughter is 10. when she sasses back to me, argues or breaks rules she is to pull a card, and must do that chore for that 1/2 hour. NO playing, No NOTHING until that chore is completed. If they gripe, they pull another card. If they stomp and cry, they pull ANOTHER card. She said her son at one point pulled 6 cards before he realized he better shut his mouth. He had 3 hours of chores. It didn't take that kid long to realize WHO was in charge. I have noticed it working around my house in a very short time as well. Try it. It's a child psychologist's discipline tactic. Instead of grounding, or reacting when they break rules or a nasty mouth, they already know what's to come. No surprises...they are making a choice when they already know the consequences.
Good Luck and God Bless!

I have seen couples that are oddly matched in height. I have often wondered how their relationship works as well. I would find it frustrating to always have my husband have to reach things down for me because he was always putting thing up out of my reach. He then would always have to bend down to get things because I would put things at easy access for me. Annoying for both of us. The physical attraction I think would be strange for him, since I would seem child-like, if I was so much smaller than he was. I just think it would seem ackward. Just my opinion. My husband is about 5 inches taller than I am, and that is plenty tall enough.
Very interesting post Brainstormer.
God Bless!

Oh honey...you have been bitten by the love bug. Yep!!! Face it! Stop fighting it. It's okay to be cautious, that is just your way of protecting yourself. You will stop doing that when you feel it's safe. Just continue following your heart. You are a very smart lady. He sounds like he loves you. I wouldn't worry about him hurting you, but until YOU feel that safe giving him your heart, you are doing just the right thing. You sound sooooo darn adorable!!! I'd love to see a picture of both of you. Beauty and the Beast. Hee-hee!
Luv 2 U!

Yes, it is hard to keep believing. That is what FAITH is. You have been living in this "hopelessness" forever...but look at what you've accomplished in just one week. You did that with the help of our Lord, our Savior. He is our Savior! You must NOT doubt that. When you start feeling hopeless again, regroup yourself and focus on God, aske him to help you believe in him, and renew your faith in him. We ar all praying with you. You are sooo not alone, and we will not give up on you. Don't give up on yourself. Let him Guide you!
God Bless!

sins of the husband and father, devastating on 2008-03-15 01:19:29 |

I was appauled to see her stand there behind this creep. He even looks like a creep. There is NO WAY I could stand there, and support my husband while he apologizes for this. That is what a wife is doing when she stands beside/behind the shoulder of her husband...she is "supporting" him. Where is her self respect? I would not show up, which would speak volumes. None of this is her fault, but she is standing there infront of all the cameras..why??? For her children??? What is that teaching them??? That they should support a cheating, prostitute paying husband??? I think not!!!
God Bless Roe!

You are such a kind and considerate person for thinking of others the way you do, and not wanting to hurt them. It sounds like you have been through a lot in your life, and have finally brought yourself to a place where you can understand yourself. Congratulations for that. It's not an easy task, as I'm sure you are aware. As I was reading, at first when I read you didn't think you'd call your Mother back, I thought, "Oh, you should call her back, she's your mom.", but then as I continued to read, I NOW understand WHY you want to keep your distance, and what it would cost you to put yourself back in that situation. So either way, I feel for the choice you will make. It's tough. I also want to say, you don't come across conceited at all. You come across completely honest, and trustworthy. I am very happy that I found you here on thoughts as well.
God Bless!

I feel my skin crawl off my body. I just can't use the restroom. I tell my husband, I'd rather end up with a bladder infection, or wet my pants than to use something like that. It just NOT happen'in!!!

To me, you also sound very confident and focused. I think we all have our self doubts at times. You are a very driven lady, with a purpose, and that is a powerful asset. It also attracts people to you, which is another positive benifit. Just remember to take time for yourself and to put yourself first. You definately deserve that!

Hi FF, :) what a super sweet thing for him to say to you....that when he's around you, he feels strong and you make him shine. Aaaw...gosh, he sounds like a very special guy...hang on to this one. And...mentally stimulated is a very good thing!!
Piss on that boomba guy or whatever you called him... oh that was buppi. :) sorry..Snicker...snicker. I'm like you...I had a this guy I dated for years, he was a big pukey jerk, I wanted to break up with him, but every time I tried, he knew I was going to, he'd play this "poor pitiful me card" and say..."Oh just dump me, you deserve better..blahh..blahh..blahh" I'd feel so damn bad, I could never do it. Finally after I convinced myself I wasn't going to waste my life, I just did it and broke up with him. I was soooooo damn happy to FINALLY have him out of my life, I through away my diary and all my old photo albums with his pictures. I really regret it now, because now I want to look back on things (not to do with his sorry ass, but other stuff) and it's gone.
Back to your post...I not only NOTICED that Beast wasn't the only one "Falling"... :) You, my little chickadee, are taking the tumble as well. :) Don't think you can hide it and play so tuff. ;)
I'm on your side.

Taking care of yourself is a GREAT first step. I'm so glad to hear you are doing that. Getting out and jogging or walking each day will do wonders. Keep praying, inviting the Lord into your life is what will save you.
But you could also be suffering from depression, which is a medical condition that many, many people have, and it is treatable. If you haven't been to a doctor, I'd suggest going and seeing one just to get a medical opinion. I just want you to feel better about yourself, and from what I can see, you are really trying to fix things. That is not the sign of a person who has given up...that is the sign of a person who has fighting spirit, and is going to win this battle.
I will continue to pray for you!!!!
God Bless You.

It just tugs at my heart to think what Trevorjohn and her son went through, and are still going through. He's just a young boy with his entire future waiting for him. Kids don't realize how fast their youth passes them by, and their adulthood lasts the rest of their lives. Those few vulnerable years make such a difference.

Onelostsong,
You must not think of yourself as nobody. You ARE somebody! You are the mother of 3 beautiful children that need you. You gave them life. Look at them. Now how could "nobody" give life to such beautiful children? Your life does mean something...it means the world to those three children. Whatever brought you to this feeling of hopelessness can be fixed, it can be helped. You need to find that inner Nadia that is in there, and we will all ask God to help you. Honey don't you dare give up. My own mother passed away when I was just 12, and I struggled my entire life without her. A mother is a child's connection to this entire world, without her, they feel like they are just a balloon floating and bouncing around without a connection to anyone. Whatever is in your past is in your past. It doesn't matter to God. He forgives! I have a little piece from the bible I want you to read.
First Book of John reading 4 (partial)
Dear friend! Let us love one another, because love comes from God. Whoever loves is a child of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love for us: he sent his only Son into this world that we might have life through him. This is what love is: it is not that we have love God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the means by which our sins are forgiven.
Dear friends, if this is how God loved us, then we should love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made perfect in us.
This is how we are sure that we live in God and he lives in us: he has given us his Spirit.
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers! God Bless You!

Oh MY!!! That little stinker! What happened with the red chewed up rug? Well I have a puppy story...When I was a little girl, we had a poodle, and HE WAS A BOY...well his little hooter came out as he was making nicey on my leg...I was horrified, because I thought his insides were leaking out and he was DYING, so I called my mother who was a nurse at the Emergency Room at the Hospital at the time, she had one of her EMT friends rush her to our house in an Ambulance (the poodle was her baby) and the EMT was a very good friend of hers, so of course they had the sirens blaring. She came running in and said "where is he...Where is he?" The little dog came running to her just happy as can be, not a thing wrong with him. I said..."Well it went away." She said "WHAT went away?" I said, "That red inside guts thing that came out of his pee-pee, he was trying to show me it and kept jumping on my leg, it was scary." My mother didn't know what to say. But I tell you the Ambulance driver busted out laughing so hard he had to leave the house. My mom just said she'd talk to me about it later, and left. She didn't look to happy. I didn't know, I was only about 5 years old. My older sister was telling me it was his insides. :)
I'm glad Maxie is perfect, and nothing was wrong with him!
God Bless!

Oh My dear Brainstormer, I wish I could just give you a hug! And I so wish you would stop being so hard on yourself, calling yourself a monster...that is ridiculous! Learning to maintain mental peace in the face of adversity is a life long lesson. It's not something we just do...it's something we have to work at every day. I certainly have not mastered it. I don't think it means "giving in" to displeasure or disagreements, I think it just means, just walk away, knowing in your mind, that you are right. Why bothering proving it to some other ignorant person. Save your dignity, keep yourself poised and walk away. No acknowledgement speaks volumes.
Thank you for leaving such a special comment. You have not lost control at all...you are very much in controll!!
God Bless You!

He just shakes his head...that when I will yell back..."OH YEAH...#14, try it sometime!!!" :) God Bless!

I agree with everything he says! I love the one about "taking a walk around the block with my father did wonders for me as an adult." How true! We grew up close to a huge golf course, and for years when we'd go home to visit, my Father would go scatter golf balls along the road by his property and take my kids when they were 4, 5 and 6, and walk along the road and pretend they were finding golf balls together. It was the cutest thing. He'd pick them up as he'd find them thru-out the year, and then when we'd come and visit, he'd throw them all back down, so he'd know how many to find. Kind of like an Egg-hunt. Only they never knew he put them there. Know that they are a bit older, they know that he did that, and just cherish those memories and think the world of him, as I ALWAYS HAVE.
Thank you for bringing that memory back to me. I luv U for it! God Bless Sweetie!

The things we do for kids. on 2008-03-08 01:37:55 |

Geesh..KP, are you sure you aren't talking about MY daughter. She is 10 and lately has been doing the same sort of stuff. Just today, she wasn't feeling good this morning so I kept her home from school. (She really wasn't feeling good, she had a mild fever). Well about 10:00 she said she felt better and INSISTED on going back to school. I told her it wasn't a good idea, since she was already counted absent for the day anyway, and she might as well stay home and rest. Oh MY, she started telling me all kinds of fibs...like she had tests to take, (which I know she didn't)She even went as far as bring me a week old weekly schedule that showed a science test today (friday). I wouldn't have noticed the date on the sheet because she folded it under, except that I was suspicious, because I knew there wasn't suppose to be any test this week. She has been doing the exact same kind of things. It's crazy. I don't know what to tell you. Except that...My daughter sees a counselor for OCD, and her counselor came up with a family discipline arrangement that is adviced by preteen and teen counselors. You are suppose to cut index cards in half, on each index card, write a chore down, detail what you want done, make sure it will take a half an hour to complete. find about 10 chores. Have your husband help come up with some. Whenever she argues, or breaks a rule or steps out of line, she pulls a card. (ut them in a bowl) She then has to do this chore after school or on weekends. Each card equals 1/2 hour work. So if she ends up with 6 cards, thats 3 hours of work. She must complete her half our work to our satisfaction, or start over, or redraw another card. The counselor said...it dramatically reduces bad behavior. They know ahead of time exactly what their punishment will be, under no curcumstances is the parent to back down and let them off the hook from a card. That will break down the entire system. She also said, if you tell her "No" to something, and an agruing match starts, tell her, if she says one more sentence she will have to pull a card. I just started this this past week, and I have to say...it has helped. :)
God Bless

Wow...that bus ride would have freaked me out!!! I don't do "getting taken off guard" like that very well. You kept yourself composed very well girl!
Yes, he probably will try to pretend what he wrote was just a joke, but he had to have meant it, otherwise why bother writing anything? He's still hung up on you. He just wrote that last line about changing his car insurance to geico, just incase he needed an out. He's a coward! I would go back and erase your comment, it's not even worth the time replying to that crap. You are sooooo much better that stooping to his level, and even asking what THAT meant. Who cares! Just be thankful he's out of your life. If he's that childish he has to write things like that...OMG..He's in the hurt bag! Besides...you got THE BEASTIE!! :) OH YEAH!! :)
I don't know that that cat dream meant through... Maybe you will come upon a family of kitties...Hee-hee. Oh..I love kitties, they are sooo cute. Can't wait to read your "tomorrow story"
Sweet dreams!

This is a great post!!! Thank you for sharing it!! It is so true too. I have an Aunt that is extremely religious, and when I mention to her that someone bothers me or a situation is making me mad, she always tells me to ask God to forgive them, or help me forgive them. When I do, and if I can really mean it, things always fall in place and any negative feelings I had, turn to compassion for that person. It has amazed me how God can turn negative feelings into positive, kind feelings. I just love reading your blog...all your entries are so heartfelt and honest. Thank You Overthehillandfaraway!
Much luv 2 U

This guy does sound like he needs a lot of ego stroking, doesn't he? I think by what I'm reading that probably the sake' had a lot to do with what went on that whole evening...all the crossed wires, and mismatched feelings going back and forth. When a guy starts drinking before you...you are NEVER on the same page. At least that has always been my experience. I'm glad you don't NEED him. It's never good to NEED a partner. I want my husband, I don't NEED him, and the day he starts treating me like I "NEED" him...well TA-TA! We had that same discussion before we got married. I'll keep reading. :)
God Bless!

FREE YOUR SOUL..... on 2008-03-06 21:11:30 |

I love this!! It's what I want my Father to do right now, while he still has some time left. If you don't mind, I'm going to write it down and send it to him. The doctors don't expect him to make it much longer...and I want him to take in all the world has to offer if he will. Thank You Hollis for sharing this!! God Bless You!

The perspective of a MAN! on 2008-03-06 20:36:15 |

Oh My Dear, I can see we need to work on your confidence. Somewhere, somehow, you were lead to believe if things didn't work out it was YOUR fault. Most of the time that isn't the case. I am a woman, I think like a woman, I know what women like in a man. You have a great many of those qualities from what I can tell conversing with you back and forth. You have intelligence, you have understanding towards others, you have empathy, and you can sympathize, plus you have a killer sense of humor that is constantly making me laugh. Now, you say you attach yourself to fast to a woman, and you open yourself up to heartache too easily, correct? Well maybe when you were younger it wasn't "cool" to do that, but as you get older, you will find woman appreciate a guy who opens up easily. Heartbreak is tough if it happens...God I know, but you can't let it define you. You are an Artist! None of us have mats under us to catch us when we fall. But you will always have me to write to if a relationship ever goes south and you get hurt. I will be there to help. But it is so true...It is better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all. You are not a coward, you are scared...and you are brave to admit that. There are a lot of ways to define bravery. I, along with many other woman, (and remember I think like most woman think) would say you are a brave man. Just don't spend too mush time dwelling on your fears. Face them, and conquer them!!!

Thank you so much Colorado! I never thought of it that way before. You could be right, he may not want to dwell on what's ahead and just keep things as normal as possible. I do believe the doctors are right though. He has had cancer for many years, and they have done all they can do. It have been a wait and see game for a while now. I can't imagine my life without him, and that is why I never wrote a blog about him and what is happening. It's too painful to share right now. He's been my father and Mother for most of my life, he's my rock. He's my Daddy. Right now I can't let him go. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. God Bless You!

Touching Shoulders on 2008-03-06 12:57:29 |

You are the sweetest of all ladies!!! I feel very blessed to have "touched shoulders" with you. I have tons of poetry books. This poem comes out of a book called "Lines to live by"... one of my favorite books. I read through it often. You are one of the people I thought of specifically when I read this. So I must say in return... Thank you for being YOU!! God Bless you ALWAYS!!!

By Everything you tell Me Brainstormer, you have tons to offer someone. You are a very intellectual man...meaning...you know how to use your intelligence. You may not know everything, like you said, but what you do know, you use to the best of your ability. That is a powerful asset. That should give you great confidence in yourself. Don't be so afraid of rejection. I try to look at rejection, as a way to "try again to get it right". It's all a mind over heart tactic. I guess unfortunately I've been burned enough times to learn it. I hope that you haven't. Maybe treading lightly until it's safe to take the full plunge into the opening up and sharing your heart might feel a little safer for you, at least until that feeling of rejection wears off a bit. It will, you just have to get out there and play ball. :) I'm in your corner!!!

yadokta, great comment! You are right, we should live that way. Unfortunately not all of us do. I recently got word that my father doesn't have long to live. He won't accept it, but it's incredibly hard to handle. It would be easier I think if he were able to come to terms with it. But he refuses to believe it's true because he feels OK right now. I was told this on Monday of this week, and I drove around for hours trying to think about what I'd do if I'd get that kind of news. How I'd handle it. Thank You for stopping and leaving you thoughts! God Bless!

Well Whiteknight, I like how you put that!! :) I've been to the Grand Canyon once...It's beautiful!!! Very tranquil. Why would people lie about what a great guy you were? I don't think anyone would get up and speak that didn't truly feel loving feelings towards you. Besides with a name like Whiteknight, you'd have to be a great guy! :) Thanks for stopping by and leaving your comments! God Bless!

Oh My Gosh TJ, Sometimes this telepathy thing we have going on just scares me. I'm so sorry once again to hear about your friends room mate. I don't understand suicide, I had an uncle that committed suicide many, many years ago. My Dad said no one in their right mind would ever take their own life. I just remember those words. One of my best friends, her only brother did the same thing. They were a very strong Catholic family from Boston (where I grew up)...they ended up switching their religion because they couldn't live with what the Catholic Religion believes about suicide. It is so incredibly sad. But I explained to her too, what my Dad had said...He couldn't of been in his right mind. He couldn't of been, there is no way!!! I am so sorry Lynette, I wish I could do something other than always say I'm sorry. It feels so lame. But it's all I can do besides offer my prayers! God Bless!

Brainstormer, you mean you don't run naked dancing crazy in the streets normally??? :) Now when you say "go for it" with every attractive woman you meet, what exactly does "go for it" mean??? Go for it and ask her out??? Going for anything else might not only get you arrested it may get you slapped?? Ouch? Unless of course she is cooperative. :) Get your mind out of the street now! Shame on you AGAIN!
