You may think I am crazy but.........................

[without]

Is it time to go home yet?

[lexsmama]

No dangit. I'm so freakin' tired.

[sarahlynn]

yes it was time like 5 hours ago...

heard from my mom, she called my grandma collect. She has her own cell this time :lol: woo hoo not 8 to a dorm room in this place and she had a bologna samich, i guess like everyday for some meal you get bologna samiched..UGH yucka..she says they reallly want to make it so you dont come back :) that a girl mama dont go back .. HA! umm she will be out mothers day morning YAY i would have been really sad for her to miss mothers day..

had lunch with cy today, he is so quiet and was sad again when i talked about leaving back to work, it makes it hard to go there because i hate seeing him not want me to leave..i have to talk to him tonight and see whats up,he has been really touchy emotional lately

last night i said "CY You want dad to come to the museum with your class"
he said "no you"
i said "ill be at work but dad can"
he said "auntie"
i said "No why cant dad come

and he broke down..was upset said dad doesnt do anything with him, doesnt watn to spend time wiht him just wants to play halo, cy is still used about matt gettin upset with him months ago. he takes things so hard..i want to talk to DH BUT Ugh it will just be blah blah blah and no changes..i cant change him and how he parents.

[lexsmama]

Aaaw, man, poor Cy. Does he know about his grandma? Could that add to the stresses?

[Momto3]

Aaaw, man, poor Cy. Does he know about his grandma? Could that add to the stresses?

I was wondering the same thing.

Ok so you guys know how much I can't stand my one SIL. So on her BRU registery they are asking for two complete travel systems ($279.99 and $179.99) each. They are two different kinds so they are also asking for two bases so they can each have two bases in their cars and a stroller and carrier for each car!

She has some balls!

[lexsmama]

Dude. Those are some serious cahoneys..

[sarahlynn]

Nope i never told Cy about nana, he overheard a few phone conversations but i never said "Nana" in them because i didnt want him to knwo who we were talking about. Honeslty the last time she went in for 4 days he didnt even ask about her till the day she got out he called to tell her MONK was on tv :) lucea asked for her a lot.

he is just a really emotional, attached, sensitive child. I Told himhe has to give dad a chance to do things with him and sometimes parenting is work and a parent needs to learn as they go. I See him wanting os much attention from DH but DH just doesnt know how to give it. :(



holy crap lynn..i felt bad putting anything on my registry..i hate asking for things

[Momto3]

Sarah - It sounds like he is really wanting a relationship with his father, but is afraid to ask for it because he is afraid it might not be there.

[lexsmama]

Sarah - It sounds like he is really wanting a relationship with his father, but is afraid to ask for it because he is afraid it might not be there.
yep. my thoughts exactly.

[sarahlynn]

YUp i know he wants it but cy i see is hesitant to be goofy with him and so on,when i see matt goofin around with lucea i see cy onthe sidelines trying to find a way to get in on it but he isnt sure how or he is unsure how DH will react to him. its sad, reallly makes me sad everyday when i think about it. but i dont knwo what to do. :( i want cy to have this amazing close fun relationship with his dad but its not in DH i guess to make it that way so what can i do.


OK i am done frickin done with BCP's (i take the mini pill everyday all month) i had missed two days last month which made AF start, than about 10 days later it started again (regular time AF shows up) i missed yesterday morning and what do ya know bleeding again today..I AM DONE..i dont have sex so why stress abotu taking a darn pill every darn day ya know...seems rediculous and worthless really doesnt it..

[bel]

and he broke down..was upset said dad doesnt do anything with him, doesnt watn to spend time wiht him just wants to play halo, cy is still used about matt gettin upset with him months ago. he takes things so hard..i want to talk to DH BUT Ugh it will just be blah blah blah and no changes..i cant change him and how he parents.

Poor Cy it breaks my heart saratoo :( really.
Could he write a letter to Matt? Or you? and ask him to ask Cy once in a lifetime how he feels? Ask him to take him for an icecream and talk to him and ask how he feels, how can they work out to be closer?? In a nice lovely written note, so he wont feel attack (I know he does with those kind of subjects, where he knows he is missing something)
Just tell him Cy said sometimes he is sad because he would want to be closer to his daddy, only that not the whole deal kwim?
maybe maybe maybe God permits, this could be a wake up call for Matt:pray:

Honey you have an awesome relationship with Cy, you are the best coolest mother I know!! You could be only you and Cy and he would be fine :) and maybe for some reason that makes matt feel left out? Im not sure, but maybe could be. :chinscratch:

Ekk my mom should have landed already! I cant wait to be home :gome:

[sarahlynn]

yay for mom coming home bel

[Momto3]

Morning Ladies! Happy Thursday!

On a positive note, Katelyn slept in her crib all night last night. Usually she wakes around 3am. I refuse to let her CIO especially since she is in our room so its not like we could walk out of the room, so I usually bring her to bed with me. DH doesn't like it cuz he doesn't sleep well (tuff luck buddy) but last night she slept all night! Yaya!

What's your positive note today?

[lexsmama]

Morning!

Yay for all-nighters in the crib, Lynn!!

Umm... I have a REALLY positive note. I think I may have a new job. As the Nursery Coordinator for the church. Wow.

Good for her. Keep busy.

Come on ladies, we need some more positive tidbits!

[lexsmama]

I get kisses?! Wow. I feel special! :loveshower:

Yeah, Lynn. It's so sad. She was freaking out. I don't know what to do for her. I thought about flowers or a basket, or a night mission. hehe.. :pokey:

[without]

Humm..... more good news....
Ah...I don't know if its good "News" but its a good feeling! LOL I fallowed Claudia's example and boxed up all of Morgans 6-9 month summer clothes and gave them to a needy family. Most the time I try to sell her gent. used clothes because I need the money but.... It felt so good to help a family in need and Claudia has been such a dear to help Morgan with clothes.

[without]

OHHH guys look!!! We are one month and a week from beeing one year old here in the never ending! LOL

[lexsmama]

Yay for helping families!

We're sending my mil flowers for Mother's Day since her house isn't ready for knick knacks or pictures!

[without]

I am hoping to get off work a little early today to be able to go pick up 2 plants and 2 flower pots to be painted by Morgan and I for my mom.

[lexsmama]

Wow, I wish I had been in here longer.

Flowers are so pretty.

Pmed MM, Pam. Waiting.

[newmami]

Morning ladies!
I am back in the office, Dani's fever finally broke at 3 pm, and she was feeling ok and no more fever... poor thing, she was just laying on the couch, wanting to do nothing :sniffle:

Thanks for keeping me updated Ash... my heart is broken for her.... is there something we can do to cheer her up????

Dentist... I HAVE to see one, but I just hate them..........

Sarah, I am so sorry about Cy and Matt.... you know unfortunately I am on the same boat you are when it comes to Dh and the kids.... yesterday we were having lunch at home and Dani started crying, so I told her to come to the table with me... Dh was closer to her and extended his arms to her, saying "come with Daddy", she started bawling and ran to me.......
I know he is never going to change his ways, and it will ALWAYS hurt me to think he has no interest in building a relationship with his children :ohno:

Ash, YAY for the new job!!!! :clap:

My positive note today: I applied for a job last week (out of here) and I got a call back!!! I have to call them today and get some more details :shock:

[lexsmama]

OMG Clau! YAY for the call back!!! :clap: Your turn for happiness!

I was trying to get an address to send her a card/flowers or something to let her know we're there if/when she needs us. I wish I had her workplace name/address to get it to her at work..

[without]

Speak of the Devil..umm... I mean angel! LOL Glad to hear Dani's feeling some better. And that is GREAT news about the job!

[newmami]

Too bad she is on a diet, because I was thinking sending her some cookies......

Pam, talking about me???????

[without]

LOL I was telling a fly on the wall that I had not heard from you today when you posted! LOL

[Momto3]

Yay Claudia for the call back! I will keep my fingers crossed!

Ashley - was she part of the last swap? Do you have her info from that?

[without]

Ugh! I so just want to get in my car and drive there! I know if it were me I would want some on to help me clean my house cook dinner and do all the things you just don't seem to have the energy to do when you are stressed.

[newmami]

At least her family is close, right?? I feel so bad for her as well......

Pam, I know how you feel!!! sometimes I wish I could teletransport myself to other places.......

Anyways, if anyone wants to get something for her, let me know and I will chime in!!

[lexsmama]

I'm the same way, Pam! I wish I could get off and just drive over. I know how to get to W on my own.

Btw, if I can get a work address, I'm all over flowers, Clau.

[lexsmama]

I just got a text from Candice. She said that just asking about her is enough for her. Thought I'd relay that on. (I on the other hand, am not so certain that I can idly sit back and do nothing...) :angel:

[newmami]

Oh we are so sending her something!!!

And finally I decided a blog was a good idea... so I created one for my family... I can share with you, but it is in Spanish!!!

[sarahlynn]

So what do for mothers day..for grandmas and moms and sisters and so on

i just ordered matts one grandma an african violet plant to be delivered to her tomarow, she always sends us letters and cards for the kids..i am trying to figure out what to do for his mom, i thought of flowers but they die so quick, than i thought of a locket bracelet or necklace i could give it to her next weekend when she arrives..ugh any thoughts..my MIL has lost so many sisters to cancer/breast cancer would it be ok to get her a really nice BC awareness necklace.

ok more positive thoughts

ITS RAINING OUT..we havent had rain in sooo long and its so dry so that is good..

DH left me a note last night saying "the house looks great" i was like wow i just cleaned it but he usualy doesnt say anything so htat was a nice surprise..sorry for the bad typeing my keys on my keyboard are sticking down due to a pop spillage..

what should i get my sister for mothers day

[bel]

Clau I would love to visit your "in spanish blog"

Saratoo Im not sure, Im afraid I shouldnt spend more money :( maybe flowers but those in a basket, planted in sand so at least will be alive for long :)

[lexsmama]

I wish I knew spanish. I'd totally keep up with the blog if I did.

I just sent my mil a bouquet from a local shop. I told them how much to spend and that as long as it's happy, bright, and has gerbera daisies in it, I'm happy. lol.

[Momto3]

We are taking my MIL out to lunch on Saturday and I got cards for her and then we are taking my mom out to lunch on Sunday. Dat's it!

[sarahlynn]

i bypassed my sandwich and went to the local pasta place and got a bowl of minestrone soup and homade bread..maybe that will help me get rid of this stupid cold..

[lexsmama]

Ooohhh... yummy.

[newmami]

Soup.... love me some soup....... but not on 90F weather!!!

So my supervisor came and apologized for the way I learned about the changes here... the moron thinks that waiting 1 week and pretending you are sorry is going to change things.... NEWS FLASH WOMAN!! THE DAMAGE IS DONE!!

How can someone be so stupid and convince people that she is the best since sliced bread>????? oh wait!! yes screwing the boss may help!!!

[sarahlynn]

man i feel so lazy today, i have a huge pile of filing that i need to get done but im just sitting here staring at my puter..

[lexsmama]

What a crazywoman!! They think dh's principal and superintendant are wonder bread, too. I can't wait to see dh take over.. lol.

Oh! Speaking of! He's the Science Chair next year!!

[Momto3]

AShley did he get his whole seminar./credit thing worked out?

[lexsmama]

Well, he got a probationary until they figure things out. The asst. superintendent is trying to call SBEC (whoever they are, lol) to get those 3 things waived. He said dh's taught long enough to not have to sit through those things. :sun:

[newmami]

Awesome Ash, I am glad they are working with him, and I hope everything is taken care of.
I need to run downstairs to the branch and try calling those people with the other job again!

[lexsmama]

Good luck, Claudia!

And you girls are THE BEST EVER, btw! (But we already knew that!) :wink:

[Momto3]

oh yes, go call and let us know...Good luck!

[newmami]

Ok, the job sounds interesting, pretty much on the same level I would be now (which is ok since my professional ambitions are zero), but they paycut would be AT LEAST $9,000 a year........ which is a big chunk... :wtf:
I guess I will have to wait and keep looking, but hey!! that was the first shot and it worked, so it sort of helps my ego!!

:drool: did someone said cookies????
\
Bel, could you please PM me your email address, so I can send you the link to the blog?? paranoid as I am, I have it close to anybody, you need an invitation to read it....

[lexsmama]

Cookies... drool... :drool:

I'm sorry about the pay cut, Clau. At least you're starting off on the right foot!

[bel]

I had lettuce, onion, carrots, olive oil, cruttons chicken salad for lunch. A huge one! YUM

Yeah we love you Candice :wub:

aww Claudia :(

We just guet together on mother´s day for lunch or dinner, depends on my SIL´s family, since she spend one of them with her mom also, so we agree in advance.
My MIL comes celebrate with us since her other son could care less :rolleyes: we always invite her, if she wants to see her other son SHE goes to his house to be congrated....well, to each it´s own. If I was his mother I would have quicked his bumm few times now:pokey:

I hear you on the lazyness saratoo, Im tired and :sleepy:
I have a meeting at 6pm and another at 8pm, both I cant skip :( I wsih I could just go home, have a soup and enjoy my bed....on top I should go home by 5 to get ready for them :rolleyes:

[without]

Claudia wish I could read spanish lol and yea that would be to much of a cut for me. :( Maybe the right one is just around the corner!

Sarah! you do way more than I do for Mothers day~ I get some thing for my mom and some times if I see some thing little that I think my granny might like I get her some thing but thats it.

[CandiceLeigh]

So, I wanted to let you ladies what happened between me & DH last night. Maybe it'll help me to type it out? :huh: He came over to see Chris, which is what he's been doing for the past week. He had been there for a bit and then I asked him,

"So, is this for real? Are we really doing this?"
"Yes, I already told you this is it."
I start crying, I can't help it.
"Chris, can't we at least try? Let's go see a counselor, someone that can help us work thru this. I still love you very much and I want to work this out."
"No Candice, I already told you that it's over."
He starts getting up.
"Look, if you're gonna do this then I'm going to leave."
"No, don't leave. Spend time with Chris, I'll go to the other room."
I go to the bedroom and cry a bit, but I'm not ready to give up on this discussion so I go back to the living room.
"Chris, please don't just walk away from our family. I know we can make it better if we're just willing to work on it. We can do this. I want to do this."
He's shaking his head at me, getting up to leave.
"Candice, I don't want to argue. I just came to see Chris."
"We are not arguing! This is not me arguing, this is me trying to save our marriage. Please, why can't we do this?"
He rolls his eyes, repeatedly and his face is stone cold.
"No, it's over. I'm not happy. Look, I'm not going to come over here anymore if you're going to do this all the time."
"Chris, I am just trying to save us."
I leave the room to cry some more and he comes after me and says
"Do I need to take Chris with me? I'm not going to leave him here if you're going to be acting like this."
At this point, I can't believe this is the man I married. Never would I have thought in a million years that he would be so cruel to me.
"No, don't take my son. Just go."
I pull myself together and he leaves after being there for less than an hour.
Then I call my good friend from work and she comes over to be with me and I text Pam & Ashley.

So, we are officially over. I am not at all at peace with the situation or happy with it. If he decides that he wants to come back in a few months, I can't guarantee that I would say no although after the way he treated me, I know I don't need him in my life. I'm still very confused/hurt/angry...you name it.My friend and sister both told me, he just wasn't ready to grow up once Chris got here. I grew up and he still wanted to do whatever, whenever. I know that's true, but it hurts all the same. Not to mention that fact that I'm over here taking drugs to get my body in order to have a baby and he's been wanting out for how long? Why did he let me do all this if he didn't even want to be married? There was more words exchanged than what I typed out, but I don't remember everything. Just the basic highlights of the conversation.

Oh, and this morning he text me that he won't be coming by tonight to see Chris because he doesn't have the gas. :ohno: I'm just like are you freaking kidding me? Hurt me all you want, but don't take this out on Chris! I'm going to do my best to stay positive and upbeat for Chris but it' soooooo HARD. I will be leaning on you ladies a lot in the next few weeks, I'm sure. Thanks for being here for me.

And I guess APA knows now that my life is horrible right now. :sadbye:Hi lurkers, feel free to send me hugs.

[lexsmama]

Oh, Candice, I'm SOOO sorry! What a jerk.

[newmami]

:ohno: I am so sorry Candice... I am sorry he was so hurtful with you, and that he would not even think about it!! he may be angry and that is fine, but still, he has no right to treat you like that!!

My heart is hurting with you sweetie, remember we are here for you

BIG BIG HUGS :grouphug:

[Jenny]

Oh Candice :comfort: Big huge gigantic hugs.

Oh honey. I don't know what else you've disclosed, but did he just pop up out of the blue and say he wanted out?

Big hugs.

[bel]

Hung in there Candice!!! we are here for you sweetie!!!!!

What a moron!! You deserve better sweetie!!!!

Keep coming hon, get it all out!!! we will support you!!! :hugs:

[Momto3]

Candice -

You are a strong woman and you will get through this, as much as your heart is breaking right now. You and Chris will be better off. I know it is so hard to see right now, but take it from a wise "old" woman who has been there and done that. He seems like he does not want to be tied down right now and with no explanation and warning, just odd.

Cuddle Chris a bunch extra tonight. You will see what a strong bond you and your son have together! We love you hun!

[without]

Candice! I love you girl! I know how hard this is. You did better than I would have done because when he said do I need to take Chris I would have slapped him in the face! Ugh! Keep texting me and keeping me in the loop so I won't worry about you. We will keep in touch all weekend because I know it will be a hard weekend for add on top of it all that its Mothersday.

[CandiceLeigh]

Thanks so much everyone. I am in tears with gratitude from your kind words and support. Yes Pam, this weekend is going to be very hard for me. I know I can make it though this, it's just so hard right now to see that light at the end of the tunnel.

My dad has been paying for our cell phones for us (we were actually going to take over payments next month) and now my dad has had his phone shut off. I feel guilty because I didn't give him any warning, but I know my dad is just looking out for me and doesn't want to support him in any way after all that's happened. I'm scared he's going to be super pissed at me when he realizes that his cell is shut off and I'm also scared that I won't know how to get a hold of him if I need something for the baby. Ugh, my stomach is in knots and it just makes the whole situation so much more real.

[Momto3]

Yes Pam, this weekend is going to be very hard for me. You just focus on your little one this weekend and being the wonderful mommy to him that you are.

My dad has been paying for our cell phones for us (we were actually going to take over payments next month) and now my dad has had his phone shut off. Bravo Dad! (I would have done the same thing)

I feel guilty because I didn't give him any warning,(He didn't give you any warning, did he?) but I know my dad is just looking out for me and doesn't want to support him in any way after all that's happened. I'm scared he's going to be super pissed at me when he realizes that his cell is shut off (tuff luck for him. Time to grow up and be a man, one way or the other) and I'm also scared that I won't know how to get a hold of him if I need something for the baby. Ugh, my stomach is in knots and it just makes the whole situation so much more real.

Hugs Candice! I want to kick his A**!

[bel]

Amen to Lynns words. Focus on Chris, he doesnt need anything else than his mama now. Forget about the moron, if he has stuff left there throw them from the window. He doesnt deserve you hon.
Good for your dad. Keep trong hon, dont be afraid. He is a looser.
He just lost the most wonderful gift life could have given him, a family.

[sarahlynn]

OH Candice ((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))

I can honestly say i know how you feel at least partially..when we had Cy i grew up and into a mom and matt just didnt change he went out all the time, drank a lot, partied and still kept his nuts life. It was such a struggle that first year of cys life, so many arguements and fights it was so unhealthy for me and cy well and matt. So when matt decided to leave i wanted to beg him to stay but it wasnt in me, i decided if that was what would make him happy who was i tell him no. IT Was so hard to watch him go ubit i knew above him was CY and he was my first priority and i needed to get my sh1t together and make a life for us. and thats jsut what i did. YOU CAN DO THIS IT Will be very hard and it may get harder but your strong, smart, aand able and like me you know THAT BABY is your main priority, he needs a happy stable mama and you can be that for him. dont let DH break you, dont let him make you become something your not. As hard as it was at times the four years i was alone with Cy were some of the best years of my life and cys we bonded so much and today are closer than any mom and son i know.

Hang in there..hold your head up and show DH YOUR OK..show that boy YOUR OK..

When life gives you lemons...:comfort:

[without]

Yeah!!! Its Friday!

Any one hear from Candice last night? I text her a few times and then had some own personal junk come up and by the time I got around to giving her a call I noticed it was to late to be calling.

Girls... I am at a loss at what to do. My friend (who helped me with every thing from my hair to going with me to buy food) has moved away for a few months. Good news is, she'll be back. Bad news is. This weekend is my every 4 months food trip to sam's and Wal-Mart. I mean this is a hard days work when it was she and I doing it. Now I have to do it alone and I don't know how I will ever get it all done and have any since left by the end of the day. I wish I had another friend who could go with me but I don't. I miss my friend! Sigh....

My positive note for the day.... I am taking off a little early to buy stuff to make the mothers day flower pots!!! Wahooo!!! and I also am going to watch 2 of my brothers kids tonight so they can make a flower pot for there mom too. I rock as and Aunt! lol

Yeah!!! Its Friday!

I rock as and Aunt! lol

Yes, Pam, you do ROCK! I hope you manage your shopping trip ok.


I'm sad...and I know its stupid in the grand scheme of things and just need to suck it up and get over it but its my baby...

So you know Katelyn is STILL in our room in her crib cuz there is just no place to put her in a 3 bedroom house with 2 teenagers. Mostly she sleeps in her crib except for a few weeks she wakes up about 3am and wants in our bed so I have been picking her up and putting her there. If I don't she cries "mommy's bed, mommys bed" And I mean real tears crying. So DH is getting a little over of it. Says "She needs to learn to stay in her bed" So last night she said "Bunny, where'd you go?" So I got up and gave her bunny and got back in bed. Well she started to cry and wanted in our bed, but I just left her there to see what she would do. She cried and cried (for about 45 seconds) and then laid her head down and went back to sleep.

It broke my heart...:boohoo:

[newmami]

:dance::gome::celebrate: YES IT IS FRIDAY!!!

Pam, you will be ok on your shopping trip, just relax and have fun!! I wish I was closer so I could go with you!!
And what a thoughtful thing to do with your nephews!! you are the coolest aunt!!

Lynn, sorry Katelyn had a bad night... and sorry Dh is a butt about it!!! :comfort:

Hey Candice, not sure if you are checking in, just wanted to send you more hugs, and please know we are here for you sweetie!!

I had a rough afternoon yesterday.... Chris was super clingy (he is getting sick now) and Dh was a butt... then Dani decided she would not go sleep unless I was in her room, and if I left, she would cry and cry..... DH was NO help at all, he apparently had better things to do, so I gave him the cold treatment... I am soooo tired of being a single parent....... sometimes I really wonder if I want to make things work with DH..........

[lexsmama]

Morning!

Hope everything's okay, Candice. We love you!

I'm so sorry, Clau! Seems like most dhs are jerks lately...


I filled dh's prescriptions yesterday! He HAS to take them now. hehe..

I got my mommy's day present early! I got one of those journey diamond necklaces! Ohmygosh, girls. Dh just about made me break into tears!

On a sadder note, Lex is back into nightmares again.

[without]

OH no Claudia! Poor Chris is getting sick too! :( Grr... your DH is clueless when it comes to the kids. Sorry to hear Dani didn't want to go to bed last night. I have no advice there Morgan wanted to sleep in the living room on the love seat last night. I know I should have made her sleep in her own bed but I made her a little bed on the love seat turned out all the lights and went to my own room thinking she would get scared and want to sleep in my bed or her own bed but nope... right to sleep she went. I know I shouldn't have let her but... she has never asked to sleep on the love seat before and I think it was just some thing new and fun for her to do. LOL

Claudia I am reading the coolest book right now and I thought about sending it to you after I am done but I didn't want to offend you DH. Its about being a single parent but it covers being a single parent because the Dad just doesnt' steep up. It talks about how many many married ladies are single parents. I thought of you. Its got some good parts in it thats been helping me deal with my anger about it all and helping me deal and realize its ok to be mad that he is/was a jerk.

My head hurts I am off to take some IB.

[without]

Oh that is so pretty! I love it! I am a jewl FREAK! :lol:

OH no sorry about Lex and the bad dreams again! I will be praying for sweet dreams for Lex!:sleepy:

[lexsmama]

Aaaw, thanks Pam! He just wants one of us to come in, turn on his music, and rub his back a minute. Then he's fine. It's 4-5 times a night, though.

I've hit the preschool rumor mill already. Dang, It was less than 24 hours since I asked about the nursery coordinator position and it's already spreading.

[Momto3]

Ashley that is beautiful! DH is a keeper!

[without]

So Ashley.... do you think your going to take it??? It would be my dream job! (as long as I could still groom on the side lol)

[newmami]

Awww Ash, that is beautiful!!! :yeah:
I am sorry about the nightmares, is there something you can do to prevent them??? :huh:

Pam, I would not feel offended if you send me that book...... can I send you my DH in exchange??????????? :lol:
I don't see anything wrong with letting Morgan sleep in the couch... I am sure it was the novelty

My office smells like someone is cooking sausage....... :X

[without]

I suck at being a boss so I have a question for you girls


My sec. (this is his 1st week) came in 10 minutes late today! To me I think this is a big no no unless you call first. What do you think. I mean is it just 10 minutes and I should give him a break or nip it in the budd now and talk to him about it.

[CandiceLeigh]

Hi everyone, thanks for thinking of me. I'm doing pretty good this morning. Had a nice, civil talk with DH last night. Just about how we're going to handle him visiting Chris and splitting time. I told him it's going to be hard for me to just let him come get Chris and take him since I already have guilt/hurt from not being with him all day (since I work) and now what little time I do have I now have to split that in half. He said he understands that and if it's ok with me, he can just come to the house so Chris can have both of us together. I think it will be hard, but we're both trying to do what's best for Chris. He also said he would most likely keep him out of daycare one day a week since he gets one weekday off and that way they can spend some quality time together. I think that will be GREAT for Chris and I'm glad he's game to do that.

So, he'll be over tonight and we're going to talk about how to best handle everything. He's made it clear though that he doesn't want to talk about 'us' anymore. That sucks.

Call me dumb, but I still have the slightest bit of hope that maybe we just need some time apart (weeks or months??) and maybe we can still be together in the end. Or maybe I'm being a total dink and need to just accept what has happened.

[Momto3]

Pam - I would wait to see if he does it again, then its making a pattern. But for a first time, I'd let it slide. But if you have to speak to him if he does it again, you can mention you know you were a few minutes late on 5/9 and then today ____ so that he knows you were aware of it.

[lexsmama]

Pam, I'd let the first time slide, but talk to him if he does it again. Maybe he got caught up in traffic?? I don't know.

I'm glad you're doing alright, Candice. Been thinking about you. I don't know about dh, though. Me, I'd try to move on. He could do this again down the road, unless he owns up to it and gets help for the two of you.

If I get the offer, I'm taking the job. I'll have more time with Lex.

About the necklace, I never in a million years thought I'd get 7 diamonds, much less jewelry this weekend at all. I thought it'd be another flowers and a card holiday.

[Momto3]

Yay for the job...I hope you get the offer Ashley!

DH gave me jewelry when we first got together but now that I pay the bills, I am the one that has to find the money to pay for it so its not as nice (IMO)...does that sound bad?

[lexsmama]

Nah. Dh came home telling me, "You know, I worried to death that you were online looking at the account the whole time." hehe...

[newmami]

Pam, whatever Lynn and Ash said about your secretary

Hi Candice, I am glad at least Chris is civil enough to understand that you need to be on the same page when it comes to Chris Jr. I can see why you still have hopes, but unless he decides he wants to work things out, it is not going to happen.
Keep your chin up, and make sure your family is around you sweetie :comfort:

Ash, what does the nursery coordinator does?? is this for all week or just the weekends?? anyways, I hope you get the job :thumbsup:

This day is dragging so bad!!! ugh I just want to go home:sleepy:

Last night I was so upset with DH, I seriously wanted to cancel the reservations for Sunday!!!!! the worse thing is that I just cannot talk to him about what is going on, because he either gets offended and starts attacking me, or he reads everything "YOU ARE A LOUSY DAD" and gets offended!!! :conf::crossed:.

[lexsmama]

The nursery Coordinator is over anything that the nursery does and oversees the college people and anyone else that helps out.

[CandiceLeigh]

My head says let him go, but my heart is a totally different story. :(

[Momto3]

My head says let him go, but my heart is a totally different story. :(

Hugs sweetie! It will take a while. This is all still so fresh. But I think you know you can't hold someone there when they don't want to be there.

[bel]

:dance::gome::celebrate: YES IT IS FRIDAY!!!

DH was NO help at all, he apparently had better things to do, so I gave him the cold treatment... I am soooo tired of being a single parent....... sometimes I really wonder if I want to make things work with DH..........
Yah yayayayy it´s friday :silly: sorry about steve, booh on him :headbang:

SH IT i thought it was the 10th !!!

omg now i feel so bad
I feel like crap also, I has it on my agenda, how I didnt see it!:pokey:

Oh that is so pretty! I love it! I am a jewl FREAK! :lol:

OH no sorry about Lex and the bad dreams again! I will be praying for sweet dreams for Lex!:sleepy:
Im a freal too Pam, I have a monthly money for them :shock: I have a friend who sells them and she comes often, I pay her in few payments, so she comes to be paid everymonth, once it´s my last payment, I buy another thing and so on, but hey! it´s only like 10$ a month...so I guess I "deserve" it :P I always but stuff for Ceci too...

Ek ash sorry about lex! santi stays in his bed until 2/3 am then comes to my bed, climbs give me a kiss in my sleep :wub: the bad sleeping after that is so worthit!!! :P

My sec. (this is his 1st week) came in 10 minutes late today! To me I think this is a big no no unless you call first. What do you think. I mean is it just 10 minutes and I should give him a break or nip it in the budd now and talk to him about it.

You are in the right time to tell her what´s allowed and what´s not. Talk to her. Nice but firm.
At least it´s harder for me to call up my oldest employees since we have kind of bond allready, so once I hire new ones, I talk with them about every single stuff I dont like, or is not how it should be KWIM? I have been in charge of this since I was like 20 :shock:


If I get the offer, I'm taking the job. I'll have more time with Lex.

About the necklace, I never in a million years thought I'd get 7 diamonds, much less jewelry this weekend at all. I thought it'd be another flowers and a card holiday.

YAY for the job!!! Im so sure you will get it :cheer:
:gome: Woot for DH:dance:, we were just talking about gifts yesterday , how funny :silly:

Lynn, sorry Katelyn had a bad night... makes me sad when santi cries because he wants our bed, I cant hear him :( worse he cries "mamaaaaa" :scream: and I feel like Im not being there for him when he calls/needs me, and wants to cuddle, so I just suck it up and hug and kiss him, love his warm chubby body next to me :love:

[bel]

My head says let him go, but my heart is a totally different story. :(

awww sweetie, I agree with Lynn, is still so soon and you really wouldnt want to stay with him if he doesnt want to anymore yk?
Im so sorry you are going thru this :(

HUGE, GIGANTIC ((((HUGS)))

[lexsmama]

I know, Candice. The head knowing what's right and the heart battling it are the pits. Take time to sort things out and it'll all fall in place.

[lexsmama]

Bel! Nice to see you! :)

I was told by two people that they think I'm perfect for the job. If Lynn will just call and let me know one way or the other, I'd be great. Right now, my tummy's in knots from uncertainty.

[sarahlynn]

morning ladies..

[lexsmama]

:hi:

[sarahlynn]

So i went Matt this looooong email this moring about his relationship with cy and ugh now my stomach is in knots i was kinda harsh but totaly honest and i told him thats whats been bugging me and stressing me out and making me short with him..he has all these plans for the yard, wriping out two cement slabs, bringing in dirt, putting up more fence, soding, pouring a sidewalk, on and on and all i see is $$$ and i get stressed so that on top of how bad cy has felt about matt not wanting to do things with him has had me so sad and stressed..i just cried so much yesterday..

i spent so much time thinking of you last night candince, i hope your doing ok..

[lexsmama]

I hope it works well for you, Sarah. Matt needs to know what's up with you and Cy right now. :comfort:

[newmami]

Hey Sarah!! sorry about the tears courtesy of DH.... like Ash said, seems like our DHs are in a campaign of being buttheads!!! :pokey:
Matt sounds so much like my DH....... BIG HUGS to you!! :hugs:

Candice, I am so sorry sweetie..... I wish I lived closer so I could be there for you :(

Why is is that men do not understand that they have a responsability when it comes to their children?? that being DAD does not end when their spermie does the trick, and that they have to be involved 24/7?????

Seriously, sometimes I wish I was doing this by myself................

[CandiceLeigh]

:comfort: ((HUGS)) Sarah, seems like you need them almost as much as I do. :kiss:And a kiss for good measure.

Hope I'm not bringing y'all down by posting all my crap in here. :doh:

[newmami]

Candice, you are welcome to post as much as you want here... that is what friends are for!
Besides, Venting feels soooo nice!!!

[Momto3]

AShley's waiting on me to call her....:clap:

[lexsmama]

AShley's waiting on me to call her....:clap:

:lol:Yep! Another Lynn, but that's okay! lol.

It's okay, Candice. Post all you need to. Friends vent with friends. That's what we do!

:comfort: Sarah!

[Momto3]

:comfort: Hope I'm not bringing y'all down by posting all my crap in here. :doh:

No way Candice! That is what we do here...we rally around our girls that need the hugs the most...eventually it cycles around to be our turn!

Love you bunches!

[lexsmama]

I pmed you girls, and Heather (momofone) about my mom. Candice, I know I didn't send to you. You've got so much on your plate, I'll wait a couple of days, k?

[Momto3]

Hugs Ashley!

[lexsmama]

Thanks.

[without]

:pokey::rant::mad::po:

[Momto3]

:pokey::rant::mad::po:

That's what I'm saying!

[lexsmama]

Yep. I'm confused and p!ssed.

[Momto3]

She seems to have a twisted view of the past.

[lexsmama]

Dh just emailed me:

I did not get through all of it, but it is the same crap, different day.

[lexsmama]

Yep. Very. They both do.

[CandiceLeigh]

I don't know the situation, but sounds like you could use some hugs too! :comfort: Man, we're having a bad week in here aren't we?

[without]

Not only that...she speaks out of both sides of her mouth! I want to be there for you but your worthless... she makes no since!

[newmami]

Oi Ash, I am so sorry about the comments....... is she THAT bad in denial???
:hugs:.... at least this horrid week is almost over!!

Now because of that Ash, you sooo deserve to get that job!!!

So I have been considering joining a Church of some sort here, because I have the need to have a community (besides APA), and I found this Universal unitarian Church... sounds like a nice place, very open minded, so I may try them next weekend and see how that goes

[lexsmama]

Thank you ,Claudia. And thank you so much girls.

I just wish the mind games would stop. I just want to go home so I can cry. I know it's the same old, same old, but still. It chips away at you.

Try it! If you like it, stay. If you don't, try another church home!

[without]

Claudia I have a friend here that goes to that church here and she loves it. It seems like a very nice church.

[newmami]

I will check it out and see how it goes... at least it would be a good excuse to get out of the house on Sunday!!

[sarahlynn]

:grouphug:
MAN we all need hugs dont we..**** i wish we lived closer so we all could go out to dinner for a big old pitty party..

[lexsmama]

Me too, Sarah! :hug:

[Momto3]

[CandiceLeigh]

I'm feeling ok, hopefully it will last!

[lexsmama]

You'll have fun with/watching Cy, though, Sarah! Think of it that way.

Hope it lasts, too, Candice. Big hugs!

[Momto3]

Rescued from page 3!!!!

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Mother's day was great. Very peaceful (i.e the teens didn't bicker).
My in-laws are taking us (the whole family) on a 4 day 3 night cruise at the end of March, 2009. Making reservations today. Yay!

Katelyn has a mystery fever that comes and goes. No other systems and not to high, just enough to make her not eat and be a little clingy. I wish I was home with my baby. But alas, its Monday!

[without]

I hope every one had a GREAT mothers day!!!

Claudia.... I got the box Saturday! Thank you so so much! I'll get a chek in the mail to you today to pay you back for the postage! Thouse lil dresses and mini jacket are so so cute!!!! Thank you so much!

Candice.... it would be a little bit of a drive but you should come see me too! We could head up to Branson for a few days!

[lexsmama]

Morning!

My Mother's Day sucked. I woke up with Lex at the crack of dawn while dh slept until 9:30. I got all of us ready for church on time. We had to go to the inlaws extended family ALL day long, until I nearly passed out of exhaustion. Then we left. Ugh. Why is it that it takes me almost falling to the ground for my husband to realize that I'm tired, not feeling well, and that I'm bored to tears? We stayed until after 5.

On a good note, he took his medicine for the first time last night! He actually slept! He's groggy as all get out, but he's sleeping. Now, to see how the pain is today.

[lexsmama]

Did I kill the thread today?

[sarahlynn]

OMG page three!!

i wasnt online at allll this weekend..busy sat and than sunday was soooo nice out we were outside working alll day. me and the lulu planted flowers and worked in the yard..

DH and his friends tore up this big old cement slab that ended up being over a foot thick in some areas so he wore himself out. he works 5pm-5am today :( sucky schedule..

[without]

No I am just busy holding this stupid new sec. hand all day! Grrr.... He was late again today.. I had to talk to him about it I couldn't let it go again.

[lexsmama]

You were totally in the right, Pam!

Glad you got some stuff done this weekend, Sarah! Sounds like a busy weekend!

Have the Hanes or Spanx ever given you problems or made you itchy?? I just had to take mine off. (Yes, probably TMI..) I hope there's nothing see through with this dress...

[sarahlynn]

man that sucks Pam.

Im already ready for lunch, i need to go return something to the mall and get out of the office for an hour. makes the day go by faster i think.

Oh and the boobies are totaly feeling 18 again in the new vic sec bra... :)

EDA: HA! she said spanx

[lexsmama]

yay for the bra!!!

[Momto3]

Ha! I thought Ashley was taking her bra off and I'm like Woooo Hoooo Ashley's going braless!

Pam - You were right to speak to him today as he was now obviously making a pattern out of being late. How did he react?

[lexsmama]

ha! I almost spit water!

Didn't think of that, Lynn! Nope. I can't go braless... My girls are stinkin' HUGE! I play a Halle Berry with those ladies. Bra all the time except sleeping. (I used to sleep in a sports bra.)

That tummy controller went from right at the braline to my knees. Itchy.

[Momto3]

I remember the day when I was proud of the girls...sadly, they are starting to resemble to old lady pancakes. They look great in a bra...until I take it off and unroll them!

[lexsmama]

Yeah, mine sag a bit now. Dang, all that work for this..

[sarahlynn]

yeah mine sag a big to..i dont like the boobie profile much at all anymore :( oh well

whats for lunch ladies..

[lexsmama]

me either. Makes vic secret stuff look funny. lol

baked chicken, pineapple, part of a peach

[Momto3]

tuna fish, coleslaw and strawberries

[sarahlynn]

mmmmmmm chicken sounds good...i just have a turkey salami samich and cheese...YEEHAW fun huh..im trying to get back on the dieting track, darn it i am stuck at 142 and cant seem to budge lower :( i think the stress lately has had me eating more than usual..

how was everyones mothers day? do anything fun and exciteing..

[newmami]

Hey Ladies, I am at home again, it was Chris' turn to have 104F fever... yep we ended up in the ER, but we are home, no more fever and he is sleeping

Mother's day here was ok... nothing different from a regular Sunday

Pam, glad you got the box, I hope everything fits!!
How was your mother's day????????

Love you guys, Chris is waking up so I have to go!

[Momto3]

DH made me breakfast (Sunday is usually my day to make a big breakfast for everyone). Then we took my mom (and Dad) out to lunch. It was nice. On the water. Lunch was ok, but dessert was devine! Yummy. I had Tiramisu.

Saturday we went to Ft Pierce and took my MIL out for lunch at the Olive Garden (her choice). Then back to their place for the baby to play with them for a bit. That is when they told us they are taking the whole family on a cruise in March. Yay!

ETA: Dh got me cards from him and from each of the kids and he had the baby walk in with a balloon (heart shaped with roses on it) that said Happy Mother's Day and she kept saying it all day to me. She got a little confused every now and then and would say "Happy Birthday Mama" but I told her it was mothers day and she corrected herself. So sweet!

[sarahlynn]

ok ladies i am off to the mall to return some crap, i need to get out of the office for awhile. ITS SUCH A MONDAY!!!!

see ya'll in about an hour.

[without]

Lunch for me was my mama's left over beans! YUM!!!

I wear spanx all the time (its a work out just going to the bath room LOL) and they have never made me itchy and I have very sensitive skin.

OH NO!! Poor Chris! I hope he gets to feeling much better soon!

[lexsmama]

I get to have lunch in a while... Working on articulated agreements. ugh.

The seam line in the front is what makes me itchy, Pam. I don't get it, but I took the booger off. lol.

I posted my mama's day weekend in my first post this morning. blech.

[sarahlynn]

Sorry claudia you have a sick boy :( that just sucks..im tired of everyone gettin sick..we need healhty babies..

back from the mall..exchanged luceas shorts her daycare got her, they were hean shorts and lucea doesn not have the waist to keep them up (and i loath jeans on babies) so i exchanged them for a soft comfy three piece jammy set...so much more me than the other. And i found two shirts for me for work only $10 a piece..i need work clothes so bad..i wear the same crap over and over and over..

[without]

I am so sleepy!!! I didn't get home from moms last night until around 11! I bet I zonk out at my tanning session!

[lexsmama]

Ugh, me too. Exhausted.

I just got an email about the job. I have to send a letter of application and a resume to the church parish committee to even be considered for the job. What in the heck do I say?

[Momto3]

idk AShley. I'm so bad at that stuff!

[lexsmama]

How's this??

I am writing in regards to the open position of Nursery Coordinator at First United Methodist Church. The vacancy was brought to my attention a week ago by Lynn Howell and was encouraged to apply. I believe I meet the qualifications you seek for in this position.
I have been working with children for most of my life. I have taught Sunday school since 1998, ages ranging from three year-olds to sixth graders. First United Methodist Church Nacogdoches has been kind enough to allow me to work in the Nursery on multiple occasions and help with the youth as much as possible. As you can see from my resume, I have taught multiple Vacation Bible School sessions, many years of Sunday school and am Safe Sanctuary and CPR certified.
I addition to practical experience, I will complete a degree in psychology in 2009 at Stephen F. Austin State University. As you know, SFA is a wonderful learning environment and a well-known college that specializes in teaching and youth.
First United Methodist Church Nacogdoches is familiar to me, as it is my church home. It has been such a light in my life to be able to be a part of the church family, as well as work with various age groups and help where needed.
Thank you for your consideration.

[lexsmama]

Heather (momofone) said to add something about my organizational experience. I can't figure out how to word it and where.

The thought of me being prego is the scarest though in the world right now. I should have tested last week when I was late but I was to chicken! Now... that another week has past and still no AF I really do need to put my fear aside and test.

[sarahlynn]

PAM DID YOU SAY TEST!!!!

[lexsmama]

Oh, just test Pam. We'll be here for you.

Yay for less dr bills, Sarah!

Bel, you're mia waaaay too much lately. Dang!

I added in a paragraph about baby experience and the wealth of knowledge Lex has brought me, and I have it signed, sealed, and ready for Michael to deliver this afternoon! Weee! Ugh. lol.

[CandiceLeigh]

Hi everyone! :hi:I had a pretty low key weekend, just hung out with Chris all day Saturday and then DH came over Sunday and we all hung out together. Things are just weird right now with us. We still interact with each other pretty much the same way as before. The only difference is that he doesn't sleep at home. :dunno: It's retarded...my dad got me a little rose plant for MD, but I'm afraid I'll kill it. Nice to think of me though! :silly:

Ashley, I hope you get that position! You sound totally qualified! I'd hire you. :thumbsup:

Claudia, sorry Chris is sick. It's no fun to see your kiddos sick. I hope you're having an ok day at home though.

Pam, :shocker: Test? I hope you get the answer you're wanting. Thanks for thinking of me this weekend, made me feel all snuggly inside. :buddies:

Lynn, sounds like you had a great MD! And how exciting about the cruise! Can I come? I would love to go on a cruise! Where all is it taking y'all?

Sarah, I am just like you when it comes to dressing Chris. I won't put him in an outfit if I think he's going to be uncomfortable! Which is why he only has a handful of Polo's and those only come out for pictures and special occasions.

Bel, sorry about the blah weekend! :kiss:

Oh, and one more thing to add:I'm going to San Antonio this weekend!! :clap: I can't wait! It was originally supposed to be a family trip, but with DH acting like a butt my sis is going to go with us instead! AND I get to meet Katie and Abby! I CAN'T WAIT!! I need this sooooo bad!

[Momto3]

Keeping my fingers crossed for Ashley AND Pam! :fingerscrossed:

Have a great time in San Antonio Candice! :vacay:

The cruise they are taking us on is to Freeport and Nassau Bahamas. I've never been so that will be cool, but I get seasick...:yuk: so dramamine...here we come!

[lexsmama]

Yay for a trip, Candice!!! :clap: Enjoy every minute of it and eat some chocolate covered strawberries for me, k? :wink:

It took me 3 years of TTC with Morgan and Rod said he had the snip but now... I am starting to wonder if that was just a line so he didn't have to wear a hat. Grrrrr! I am trying not to stress over it. And how is it that I am 30 years old and still embarased to go by a HPT!!!

Candice! Yea for the trip!

Glad your back at work Claudia and the Dora thing sounds like some thing I would do! lol

Pam i hope you get the BFN your looking for, go buy a test woman. Im always goofy and funny when i buy pregnancy tests..

[lexsmama]

YAY SARAH!!!!! :clap:

Those pots are adorable, Pam!!!

[newmami]

Pam, Morgan called me and asked for help to get you a MD's card, so I just complied like a good auntie (the poem was courtesy of me) :hugs:

Yay Candice for the trip!! San Antonio is such a nice place!!

Yesterday Dani & I were playing on the chalkboard and I decided to make some shapes and teach her beyond star and circle... I got a big surprise because she recognizes oval, square and triangles!! I am so proud of my little girl!!! :wub: and she did soooo good yesterday, she understood that Chris was not feeling well, so she was very nice to him (we were playing ball for a while) and when I told her "I am tending to Chris, Dani" she just said OK Mami...

Mother's Day... the highlight was that I talked to my parents 2 times, they called on Saturday because in Mexico we celebrate May 10, and then on Sunday. Sunday I woke up at 7 with the kids, started laundry and all that... made breakfast and got the kids ready for the lunch (we went to a restaurant). While we were getting ready, DH asked "so besides laundry, is there anything else you need to do or can you relax for a bit?".... HELLO??? he could have said Hey it is MD, I will do the laundry, you relax!!, so I got upset and said "with the kids, I can never relax".... :rant:. We went to lunch (it was a huge buffet) and of course I was the one tending for both kids, feeding them while he was stuffing his face.... I didn't even talked to him.... but I spent a nice time with D&C, so it is worth it.... and yeah umm the 3 mimosas I had....
In the afternoon, I finished laundry and cooked dinner for us... DH asked if I had a good MD's day, and I said "well, it was just like any other Sunday"
Oh!! he got me a card (that he forgot in the car) from the kids (Dani drew something for me) and one from him, telling me how much he appreciates all I do and how well I am raising the kids, and saying that he realizes how crappy he has been on the parenting department, blah blah blah...... :yawn:honestly his card just annoyed me!!! :po:... but the night turned better when my Dad & mom called!!!

[newmami]

I just saw the pictures!! Pam you look WONDERFUL!! I can totally tell you have lost weight!!!! and Morgan is just too cute!! love her messy hair, and she is a beautiful girl!!
Those pots are too adorable!! I want to make one with Dani!!! (Chris will eat the paint and the soil!!)

Uh.... that pendant looks familiar!!!

[Momto3]

Pam - The pictures are so cute!

Claudia - Sorry about your Mother's Day.

Sarah - You go girl! Yay congrats on the weightloss!

[bel]

One of my best friend went to a surgeon yesterday to ask for a tummy tuck, he is the best one we have here and I have seen some incredible job he has made HE WILL ONLY CHARGE 1K :shock: way cheaper than he and all others used to.
