So, when will you tell "The Rest of the Story"? I almost forgot where you were even at... so the story of asking "Stan" to take neak and H didn't work out, and hmmm... you never DID finish the story of your True Love did you? I'll await Story Hour with IMPATIENCE <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

You're not the only one! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

But I'm afraid to ask for more.... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Sorry. It's just been a really hectic couple of wks., and besides, I was waiting for the shark bites to heal before venturing back into The Pool of Introspection. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I haven't exactly forgotten. I've just been very distracted.

Maybe it will be Q _ _ _ _ over the weekend. Goodness knows it feels like we've delivered every person in the tri-county area within the last few days!! How many more can there be? Don't tell me. I don't want to know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> I have until tomorrow night at 6:45 to remain in blissful ignorance of whatever hideous fate awaits me.

ok. I'll wait <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Please don't let all this talk about Amazons fool you. I'm 5'2" on a tall day, 57 years old, and just a harmless, woolly little old girl sheep. Why sheep? "Ewe's not fat, ewe's fluffy!" Can't say I wouldn't hurt a fly, cuz I squash those suckers any chance I get, but unless you're a thousand-eyed winged pest (or a wasp, cockroach, earwig, etc.) you are perfectly safe with me! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I actually prefer people to respond. If I wanted to talk to the walls, I'd just go home and do it directly, thank you very much. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

So ask away. Just don't chew me out for a past I can't change now anyway. That's frustrating, and doesn't accomplish anything productive, so what's the use? See you later when I can get online with a little time to think and write. Nice weekend to everybody.

t&l

hey t&l, I'm always here on the weekends. For a while now I haven't been able to access MB from work, and I have a lot of work, so I only get to read in the evenings and on weekends.

I find you story fascinating and you and all your family and even in laws are such great writers!

I am also in the nedical field so I understand a lot of what you talk about...

and I'm a woman, a mom etc

So please tell me (and all the others) the next chapter in your story.

Maybe some day I'll share one of my chapters

Today was a great day. Neaksis, her kids, HP, and I all attend the same church. Neak goes to one closer to her house, but today they all came to our church to help HP out with the church service since he wanted to have a lot of songs. I played the piano and organ (Not simultaneously; that's too much multitasking, even for me! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />); Neak played the piano and sang; Neaksis helped with singing and kid control; FWH and my dad were there, and it was just a beautiful break from all the hassles and troubles we've been through lately. FWH was attentive and kind to Neak (even DDIL commented during her visit last wk. on how different he was than usual). There was no awkwardness between the adults, and we visited and laughed just like we did back in the olden days before things started going downhill. I realize there will be tough times ahead for all of us, but it was still nice to have a lovely break from all of it, just for a little while. This lasted until 2 of the boys decided to "liberate" some gum held captive in Neak's purse and got caught, unfortunately not until AFTER they'd managed to lock the keys in the car in the hurry of their attempted escape. However, their malfeasance did buy the rest of the kids banana splits and a movie tonight while Mr. Perpetrator #1 and Mr. Perpetrator #2 got to not only go to bed early and miss the treat, but to have the privilege tomorrow of harvesting (by hand) star thistles growing on the property. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> No devil's workshop in their (not-so) idle hands tomorrow!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

Not too bad at work numbers-wise, but we've got somebody losing a baby to extreme prematurity tonight, and it's my job to take pictures and get footprints when it's over, so I'd better go see how close we are.

t&l

Hmmmm. Where to start??? This thread needs a new title ASAP, that's what!

Uh, Mom, have you taken your blood pressure medication already?
