Hey all!!! How are the Texas ladies doing?????
Last night was my Anatomy final so I'm thru with school this semester! yea!!! Just in time for Cooper to arrive. Now I just have the long 7 day wait to find out my grade in the class. There is no way I made an A because it was super hard and I never should have taken it online. So I'm hoping for a B and will be grateful to get it. Keep your fingers crossed for me!!

We're supposed to be getting some of the bands around here. It's a 50% chance today. Now my family on the other hand, they're going to get pelted by bands. They're on the coast closer to Galveston. (Freeport Area for those of you looking.) Btw, it's 80 degrees and clear skies... :eyeroll:

I know y'all are probably tired of hearing about DH, but you're my only friends so you have to deal with it! :P He ended up coming over yesterday evening and as soon as he got there I left. I had to go do laundry at my dad's 'cause my dryer died, boo! Barely said 2 words to him and walked out the door. About an hour after I had been at my dad's here he comes with Chris. :eyebrow: Are you leaving already I ask him. He says no they just came to see what I was doing. Hello?? Didn't I say I was doing laundry? Then I asked him if he could watch Chris Thursday night because I'm going to see a movie. He says yeah then says, "You sure have been seeing a lot of movies lately. Why don't you ever ask me if I want to go to a movie?" I turned and looked at him and said, "You made it pretty clear that you don't come over to visit me, you come over to see Chris, so I didn't think you would want to spend any extra time with me unless need be." He didn't say anything to that. :eyeroll: So I guess the point of my story is that he's bothered that I've been going out (even though it's to a movie!) and not been going with him and that made me :lol:And let me add that this is the 1st time I've asked him to watch Chris so I could see a movie, the other 2 times I went on Sunday because that's when he has Chris all day and I'm not invited to go wherever they go on those days! Batman is amazing and Hancock is pretty good too, I will get back with y'all Friday about The Strangers! :batman:

Candice you can vent anytime you want sweetie!!! Good for you sticking up for yourself and coming back with that reply. I don't know why he keeps thinking there is some kind of double standard with you two. It's none of his business what you are doing and he can just get over it. I'd have probably come back with "my date wouldn't enjoy me inviting you" but I'm a Biotch!!!!!

Stacy, yay for finishing school, I am sure you did awesome!
Hi Kelly!! Aaron is so adorable :wub: I am glad to hear you are doing well, and that Amanda is being so good... she will love her brother like you have no idea :wub::wub:
YAY CANDICE!!! I am so proud of you hon!! like Kelly said, I can see how much you have grown about it... too bad Chris is still being a baby about the whole situation. So yay for standing up and for having fun!!
Forgot to tell you ladies, last Sunday I finally was able to tell DH how much it bothers me to be forced to have sex, so he agreed not to ask unless I offered... well Sunday was an emotional day for both of us (the talk plus I got :crying: that I was coming back to work) so I said ok to DTD.... MAN THAT WAS GOOD!!!!
He has been making such a big effort, not only with me but with the kids (specially with Chris), I am very pleased, so we will comply with HUMP day today :winks:

Awesome stuff for finishing school, Stacy!
My 2nd interview's on Monday. After they're supposed to make an offer for the library job. Crap. I just got done talking to the old secretary from the department (who's now in psychology) and she told me that if I get the offer, take it. She said that the charter school bein gunder the university will keep me under the same thumb as right now. Crud... :cry:

Claudia, that is awesome that DH is making an effort. I wish you nothing but the best.
I am sooo sleepy today. Plus the doctor just put me on reglan and I'm afraid it may make it worse. Hopefully I will be able to get both kiddos down to nap at the same time, then I can nap too!

Bel, I love your hair sweetie!!! You can really tell in your face that you've lost weight. Tara is doing fair. She is not sleeping well at all and is having alot of heartburn (we'll see if the baby has hair). She also is on her feet all day at work so she's having alot of sciatic hip pain. She is going to be so glad to get Cooper out. Our next OB appt is a week from tomorrow and we get to schedule the induction, hopefully for Aug 11th.
Claudia - so glad DH is trying
Ash - I hope you get the new job and love it!
Sarah - how's my sweetie Cy doing?
Kelly - get some rest and please watch out for the Reglan. I took that and it made me very depressed. If you have any postpartum symptoms at all please let your dr know.

How's Cy?????
Cy is doing really well, finally last night he allowed me to take the gauze out from under his nose and we went and played mini golf..he goes back friday to take plastic out..
Did matts neuro 2nd opinion appt this morning, i really liked the doctor felt more informed after this appt than all the ones i went to with matts current neuro. I dont think he will switch but it was nice to get another view and hear that we were on an ok path. He did tell us matt has aggressive relapsing remitting MS..matts current neuro never has told us this and really skirted around most of the detail stuff. (can you tell i dont care for her ) :) oh well matt has the hots for her and will keep going to her..soon he will be off all meds (scary) and than in sept he can start the monthly Tysabri infusions..
any plans for the weekend ladies..?
my parents are driving up sat morn to look at a camper we might all go in and buy..im so excited..it will be so fun to have a place to go on the weekends..

No plans for us other than Sunday night. We are going to Ruth's Chris for dinner and we've never been there before. They have a special right now for 2 people for $89 and if you know that place you know that is like saving half off. Anyway, we have a babysitter lined up and our best friends who threw our shower are going with us and we are treating them also because they spent so much money on us with our shower. It will be so fun to have an adult night out!!!

Sarah I am glad Cy is doing well and that Matt got a second opinion. I am hoping for the best for your men
Stacy, Ruth Chris is awesome!!! and yes the deal is a steal!! have fun and enjoy the adult night (it is in the hotel where we stay when DH goes to Jax for work)
Same to you Tracy, Will will have a blast with the grandparents!!!
No big plans for the weekend, we are having date night friday (ordering take out and a movie at home)... depends on the weather, it is getting too fricking hot and humid to be out
Pam, glad the insurance is paying... OUCH!! I hope they are able to fix it ASAP
Ash, you will know which one is the best job for you... your heart will make the decision!!

Tracy, have fun on your trip! Be sure to take lots of pictures to share!!
No weekend plans here either. DH has Saturday off, so I might go with him and Chris to do something fun out of town. Not sure though, especially the way he's been acting. We shall see. Heck, I might not be 'invited!'

Sarah!! Thats great about the camper! I would love to have one. Its one of my goals!!
OK girls I NEED you go tell me I didn't do a thing wrong.
Its been almost 2 years since Grant was arrested and finaly his cousin with the 12 year old (very pretty ) little girl that Grant liked so well asked me "Where is Grant any way we never see him any more". See... Martha (Grants MOM) has been telling every one that he couldn't make it "he is busy" "he is working" things like that. I wanted to tell this lady so bad where Grant was and what he had done. But felt as if it wasn't my place. I always told Grant and Martha that I will no longer lie for Grant and If I were ever asked I would tell her the truth. So here is the responce I gave her...
OH!... I thought she told you all he was in some kind of rehab. He said he talked to every one on the phone a few weeks ago when Martha was down so I just figured you all knew. Betsy...first let me say #1 I loved Grant and #2 I think every one should have been honest about this from the start! We are all family here and we should forgive one anothers mistakes. But I am going to tell you the truth so that you all wont think I am the bad wife who divorced my husband (that I loved btw) for no good reason. Grants been in Prison for over a year! And its for Distrebuting, Possing and Viewing child porn. Sorry but if I hadn't done what I did they could have taken Morgan. I had to file for divorce no matter how much I loved Grant.
You can look him up here....http://www.adc.arkansas.gov/ (http://www.adc.arkansas.gov/) I won't go into what my life has been like since the hell of it all and the pain it caused me because I know I am no longer your familys concern. But you asked and I said I would NEVER lie to any one about this so I am telling you.
I didn't give details on what I have been though and tried my hardest just to state the facts. Girls, I know that Martha is going to be ticked at me and hit the fan! Please tell me I did the right thing and that telling that Morther was the right thing to do.:indifferent:

07-23-2008, 01:45 PM
I am just afraid it will bite me in the butt that I told her ya know... like what if she gets mad! What if she didn't want to know that he was in prison maybe she would have rather I lied to her. I just couldn't lie! I spent the last few years of our marriage lying for that man I won't do it now.

You have no way of knowing what someone does and does not want to hear. If she didn't want to hear it she shouldn't have asked. That is her problem as to how to deal with the information she has learned, but coming from a mother, I would want to know if someone that my child was around was into child porn.

Could you live with yourself then and the Mom would hate you for not telling her.......Screw what Grant's Mom thinks, she's just embarrassed she raised a piece of crap and doesn't want everyone to know.......

I have already decided if Martha starts crap with me over this or starts to curse me out even if its via the phone where Morgan can't hear I am going to tell her she is no longer welcome at my house. I hate having her around Morgan any way. She feels as if Grant did nothing wrong as long as he didn't have sex with those girls and did it in the privacy of his own home.:pokey:

If she gets upset, well her problem, not yours... they can check court records and see that you are not lying... if Martha and Grant try to pull some crap, you can request and most likely get full custody of Morgan, and they can go eat their crap!! :po::rant:
Candice, like the other ladies said, please be careful... I don't like the games Chris is playing with you... one day he is all sweets, then he wants to take advantage of you, then he is pissy because you are having a life without him... hmm he is the one who decided to leave, so he can go eat dirt :pokey:

Oh! I almost forgot to share my GREAT news! Last night, I started my weightloss journey again. Dh took a picture of LEx and me last night, and I about lost it. It was the most unflattering picture I've ever seen of me. I felt like I was Jaba the Hut. So, I started with crunches. I did the normal half crunches I've been doing for a while, but I decided to finally try the big old whole crunches I used to be able to do before having a baby. I DID THEM!! For the first time in two years, I was able to do a sit up! I'm so happy.

07-24-2008, 08:30 AM
Aww.... good luck Lex with the first dental appointment! (secretly glad its not mine! eeek)
I am so sick of the Mike game. I like him so much and we spend so much time together in the yard talking or with each others kids but we never go out and we never talk about any thing but each others kids and to each others kids (mainly because they are always around). I just don't think he is ready for any more than this and well.. though this was fun for a time I am way over ready to move to one on one time so we can get to know each other better. I know there is nothing I can do to move this on and the more I try the more scared he would get so its best to just let it go.
I wish I knew how to meet men that didn't envolve bars because this girl needs a date to feel like she is more than just a mom again. Also I am really wanting to see the Batman movie but I hate going to movies alone! Also its nice and scary and would be a good one for hiding your face in a mans arm! LOL

Hey ladies
I am in charge of the reception desk today, so I have to be on and off here...... at least work slowed down, so I can chat
Pam, so sorry about Mike, can you ask him out for a date/movie?? get someone to babysit both kids and just go out and have fun sans kids?
Facebook, I still don't get it to be honest... I signed because my sister invited me, but I am not a regular.... it is not that popular in Mexico, besides I am not sure I want to socialize with HS people again :eyeroll::laugh:
Ash, good luck with the dentist... I HATE dentists!! I have to pick one so I can take the kids, but just the idea of going to the dentist makes me shudder
About the weight loss... I hear you, I saw some pictures of me and I just wanted to die :shocker:..... I just wish I could find the time to work out without neglecting the kids, and without ruining the little time with DH.... which means 5-6 am...... maybe I should get my butt up and do something at home!! DH said he is considering getting the Wii Fit (whatever that is.....)
And about work, opportunities come and go and you have to take them when they are available!! my philosophy is that a company would have NO PROBLEM firing you if needed, so why should you give them more consideration???

That is why I hate those microwave dinners, they always leave me hungry (plus I am not very fond of the flavor)
I had grilled chicken, salad and an apple for lunch, but then I found a brownie :shame: so I had to eat it (I swear the frustration in this place force me to eat chocolate!!! :laugh:)
Yay for a good dentist appointment Lex!!! and please Ash keep us posted on the blood results (hoping for negative results)
Groceries, UGH!!! they are getting so expensive!!! we try to get things on sale and buy generics... we spend about $200 a week in groceries :shocker:. That and gas are making me upset!!!
So I am starting to think we would not be able to go to Mexico in November... the tickets are super expensive (it would be about $2K just for tickets)...... my parents are going to be crushed because we were planning on throwing a bday party for Dani over there :pace::boohoo:
Ladies from Texas, did you had any problems with Dolly or you are too far??? it seemed that the rains moved to FL... holy cow!! it poured yesterday, ALL afternoon.... took me forever to get to daycare, my alternator got wet (love the minivan when it rains :eyebrow:) because of the massive puddles (never that road again!!) and the car started heating up... I almost had a heart attack, but once things dried we were good to go.......

Just popping in to say - boy you guys talk/type fast I can't keep up with all the conversations - maybe its because I'm working though and trying to keep perspective on life while juggling a million different thoughts.
-All you gals are just beautiful whatever shape/size you are, and all our kids love us unconditionally, they don't care what we look like as long as we love them tons!

Pam, I think you were a little too skinny!! if it helps you are still as pretty as you were before :wub:
I have never been a skinny person, so I guess it is just easier to deal with being fat. However before I met DH I was dieting and excercising HARD CORE.... I was a size 10 which is AWESOME for me, and I honestly looked wonderful.... that is why I know the only thing that works for me is working out intensively :(
Ash, the check being hand written has nothing to do with the timing, those are federal regulations on how long they can hold a deposit for you... super sucks!!!
I was in a brief conference call... the Manager for our supervisor is leaving, so for one happy moment I thought she was leaving too (as she suspiciously follows him everywhere :shocker:), but I just got the news she is not going anywhere... bummer, because we have enough idiots already....... :laugh:

Hey everyone! I'm new on here and was wondering if you could help me out. I last started my period on July 4th and the last few days have been having early signs of pregnancy. The following are my symptoms:
*cramping
*fatigue
*very light pink spotting (only lasted the last 3 days, didn't get on underwear just when I wiped)
*strange food cravings (i've been craving fried foods, which I RARELY do)
*headaches
*nipples slightly tender
*nausea, yesterday only so far
either I'm pregnant (hopefully) or my body hates me. I won't be able to take a HPT for about another week. Any advice? did anyone have any of these symptoms and end up pregnant?

Sorry. Yes, teeth. Nope, I don't have one. Just googled it. I have a little bump on my gums, and I guess it's just an irritation or pressing down on my gums with a semi loose tooth.:eyebrow:
Yep, job interview. They said they'd call by the end of the week one way or another.
Want me to send you some Midol??

Ok, this is an email I sent my friends and I'm just copying and pasting it here. This is only the 2nd part of a bad night. The 1st part has to do with Chris and the fact that I'm 99.9% sure he has a whore on the side. I will type that up for y'all after a while but 1st here's the other stuff.
I got a call at 10:00 from my brother. "you know what's going on with Marlena right?" Umm no, what? "She missed her flight and Aunt Luann got on without her, so now she's at the Las Vegas airport (wasted) and she missed her flight and Aunt Luann and Nathaniel left her there!"
Apparently the flight got delayed 3 hours so Marlena went to the bar to have a few drinks and she had a few too many. When it came time to get on the plane, she was so drunk that they wouldn't let her board. So my Aunt Luann (who I'm pretty angry with right now) just left her there. She says Marlena told her to go so she did. Hello! She was wasted! Why would you leave her there?!?! She did not know what the hell was going on! I NEVER would have just left my sister like that! Anyway, she was supposed to get on a later flight to get back to TX but sometime between the time Lu left and the next plane was supposed to board, she got ARRESTED! Yeah, apparently she got arrested for disorderly conduct! So, I got a call from my sister at 3:00 this morning! No one knew she was in jail and my number was the only one she could remember. She was crying and confused, and the cops were being mean to her and calling her a snobby *****. (I'm sure she was being crazy, but come on!) She called me probably 4-6 times last night and was just hysterical and crying and she couldn't believe that Lu would leave her.
I got a hold of someone at the police station and they told me she would be released in 12-24 hours, I guess they just need to make sure she's sober. BUT when she gets out, then what? She's so scared and I'm scared for her too. She's out there and has hardly any money, if she didn't blow it all at the bar, she can't remember. Right now, we're just waiting for her to get out of jail and then we'll go from there. Joey is at my house all day today in case she calls again.

Candice???? Where are you and what happened????
Sarah, happy anniversary...
Ash, let us know about the job asap okay? Sorry about the tooth....the Lex story is funny though....he's such a joker....
Claudia, enjoy your date night....
Lynn, if I call you stupid will you still love me too??? (joke from another post)
lexsmama
07-25-2008, 09:41 AM
Oh man, that's a rough situation. I know that I'd do something to get her out, but your aunt had a point to teach her consequences. I don't think I would have left her high and dry, though.
lexsmama
07-25-2008, 09:42 AM
Hey Stacy! How're the preparations?? How's Tara? Hugs!!!
Will do, Roger Wilco!

Sure, just don't call me retarded! bahahahahah I will always love you!
Candice...ummm...wow! Hope that all gets straigtened out.
Ash - that little Lex is such a cutie. They do the cutest things!
sja1508
07-25-2008, 09:45 AM
Candice, I'm so sorry. I agree she needed to be taught a lesson but there would have been a better way of doing it than putting her in danger by leaving her there alone and drunk.
Ash, the preparations are coming along. Now that I'm thru with class I'm attacking my "honey do list" and Tara thinks I'm nesting. LOL!

07-25-2008, 09:54 AM
Lynn, Oh please call in sick and so will I!!!!! LOL!!! I don't know if we are calling him CJ or not but we wanted the option so the J was a must for the middle name. I know we will definitely be shortening it and calling him Coop.
lexsmama
07-25-2008, 09:59 AM
Aaaw, I knew a Coop in HS. I like it! You HAVE to go, Lynn!!! Call in sick!

I would but DH is traveling in a box truck from work with another guy. Not the ideal set up for us.
I love it Coop and Zack! They are gonnna be such good buddies.

wow candice that is a hard situation..why did your aunt just let her go get drunk..it seems the whole situation could haev been prevented by monitoring her and warning her that "IF YOU GET TRASHED AND CANNOT FLY I WILL LEAVE YOU HERE" ya know..ugh sorry hun..and sorry abotu chris what an asshat (((hugs))
lexsmama
07-25-2008, 10:48 AM
Everyone's working?? What's up with that?
I'm about to go rummage for lunch at home and spend 5 with my baby boy. Even though he kept me up all night long, I don't care. I could hug that little turkey all day long.
newmami
07-25-2008, 11:19 AM
Wow Candice, I am so sorry sweetie. I do believe it was unfair to leave your sister there, wasted. Like Sarah said, it could have been prevented, just WARNING her when she went to the bar.... I wish I was closer so I could go help your sister.
Hope things get straight up and that she can fly home soon :hugs:
I don't have anything nice to say about big Chris, so I will keep my mouth closed :po:
Happy Anniversary Sarah and Matt!!! :marry:
Ok, I am having a moment here... Tara is being induced Monday?? CRAP!! DH is going to Jax on Monday.... Grrr if we were not in the middle of an audit, I would take the day off and go there (besides I could go eat at Sticky Fingers :drool:)
So cute of Lex!!! :wub: besides my son, Chris Lex and Zack are my favorite boys!!!
CandiceLeigh
07-25-2008, 11:29 AM
Yeah, both my sister and aunt were wrong. They both acted ignorantly. She called around 10 and said she would be getting out in about 3 hours. Hopefully we can get her back to TX tonight! It's just a bad situation 'cause I feel/felt so helpless. :crying:
As for Chris, you will not believe the crap he pulled on my yesterday. I was like this :shocker::cry::rant::X Remember how I told y'all that he was trying to get a car? Well yesterday he did. He called me and said, "Hey, I got the car, traded in both of my cars and I'm ready to drive off the lot. The only problem is I had to have a friend co-sign and so I have to put the friend on the insurance." Me, "Ok, what friend?" We still share insurance BTW as it's cheaper that way and we both pay half. Then he dropped the bomb, "It's a girl." "F^CK THAT!!!" I screamed into the phone and hung up. I can't believe that he would ask me to do that! Is he that stupid???? So of course I am assuming this girl is his little whore on the side. I called his brother and asked him if he knew anything about a girl. He said no, that Chris has been distancing himself from him and his whole family and just doesn't go around there anymore. He said the way he's been acting though, he wouldn't be surprised if he did have one.
So then I called his mom, asked her the same thing even though I knew she wouldn't know anything. I just wanted to let her know what a piece of sh!t her son is! She was really upset when I told her about the phone call and his asking me about the insurance. I took the baby over so she could watch him for me for a few hours so I could try to calm down. I was just sobbing the whole time. His WHOLE family is totally on my side and just can't believe what he's doing to me and Chris. Both of his parents told me if I ever need anything, not to hesitate to ask them for whatever. Especially if I need $$ for anything.
I'm sure there is more I could tell y'all but I am having a hard time muddling through all the details. Add all the stuff with my sister and I am emotionally/physically DRAINED! God, I feel like drama central. :headbang:
sarahlynn
07-25-2008, 11:49 AM
I;m so sorry candice i really am.. :( im glad his family is on your side..im just so sorry you do not deserve to be going through this..:(

Huh? I don't think she is having the baby Monday. I thought they had like 2 or 3 weeks!
Candice - I can't believe Chris. grrrr Ugh!
newmami
07-25-2008, 12:26 PM

CandiceLeigh
07-25-2008, 12:38 PM
Thanks guys. I am so done. If I wasn't before, I definitely am now. Last night I just felt like you could tap me and I would fall over. I just feel so fragile and weak and I don't like feeling that way.
He tried to call me a while ago and I answered the phone and told him not to call and f him. He called twice more, but I am definitely not talking to him. I hope he doesn't show up at my house tonight. I am so livid with him, I could just see myself flying off the handle.
newmami
07-25-2008, 12:42 PM
And you will have all the right to take it all out on him Candice... he is being a big jerk and I hope he knows it
Rely in your family and friends Candice, you need all the moral support you can get
:hugs: I wish we could do more for you sweets.......

07-25-2008, 01:22 PM
Who's having a baby on Monday???!!!!! Not us.....good grief Claudia. I'm like "did Tara tell you something I don't know yet?" LOL!!! No, I was trying to get Lynn to call in sick monday so she could come up with DH and see me for the day.
Our next OB appt is on Thur and I'm hoping they are going to let us schedule an induction since the baby is measuring big. The physicians asst said he would do it with first time mom's no earlier than 39 wks. That would put us for 2 wks from this coming Monday if they will schedule an induction. He may be like "no way" so we'll see on thursday.
Candice, please use my # if you need to talk. We'd love to have you and little man come stay with us if you need to get away!!!! If I didn't have a baby comin' I'd be kickin someone's ass in texas as well.

I love chopped liver so that would be a good thing!
Lunch was nice with DH. We just went to Wendy's but it was nice to be two adults having a conversation. Now he just texted me that he's getting the itch for another tattoo. Ugh!
newmami
07-25-2008, 01:26 PM
Lynn I agree... eating warm food and not having to deal with kids for a meal is always nice!!
Stacy, I told you my brain was fried.... ok, tell the Dr to schedule the induction on a Friday, so I can go visit on the weekend!!!
Well Ash, you are officialy overdosing on fiber!!!

You know, the withdrawl method's only got a 4% failure rate if you do it right. (According to my text.) Better than charting! (It's 9.)
