i can never believe how fast time can get away from us. i would never think that i have been gone from this site for over a year, wow.
things at our house are never dull that's for sure.
our oldest dd and her 2 kids and h have moved back in with us. he got into a mix up just before Christmas and was put in jail for 6 weeks before they just dropped all charges and dismissed the case. they were trying to lock him up on a life sentence. with a lot of prayer and a little luck he was released. actually once all thr facts were found there was no other choice then to release him. but that was a very trying time for all of us. they lost their house and his business. he is rebuilding his business and it is starting to make a profit.
i don't get much time on the computer as the only place to set up their bed for any kind of privacy was to put it into my office. our 2 granddaughters are 5 and 3 so along with grace (3-1/2) there is very little time when the house is quite. i love them all more then anyone could imagine but i sure will be happy when they are able to afford a place of their own again.
my health is fair. they say i need more cardio vascular work on the other side (right) of the heart. fh is able to get the whole family onto her health insurance in september when school starts. we figure that the cost will be a minor increase in the family budget as i am already paying quite a bit for meds each month that will be covered by her insurance. all of the kids had various cases of walking pnuemonia this spring and i am battling phuemonia right now.
fh and i are still in a state of limbo with all the confusion around here we don't get much time for us to work on us. this is from my take on us and i believe she is of the same opinion. i have asked her to schedule with a counselor thru her insurance plan but she never does which quite frankly chaps my hide. i think she is waiting until our dd moves out. why i don't know. but the 2 of them are like oil and water. both have their pluses on their own but they don't mix well while living under the same roof.
it sure was nice to see that many of the mb old timers were still here helping others who find themselves in this trap.

pops, it's so good to hear from you. A few of us wondered where you were and hoped you were doing better w/your health problems.
When our kids lived with us it was chaos too~ We got along but there wasn't enough privacy.
Our granddaughter is 3 now and likewise, such a joy!
I read your thread to Campdog and you gave wonderful advice on what to expect if he asks for cs~
Your last line on this thread surely says a lot, trap is a good description for the choices we make and things we must do during the early stages after d-day. With God and MB'ers, things usually progress the way they should and we usually come out of the pit with a new beginning no matter how things go in the marriage, right? I mean some have divorced over this but have a new hold on life.
I sure hope Fullhouse and you get to counseling shortly, especially if insurance covers it~
Seems as if you two are doing ok in spite of all the things going on lately.
Again, good to hear from you~ Don't be a stranger.

I wanted to put it in my other post and forgot. 52? 'pops'? Hmmm... I don't think so. Assuming you're an American, so what if there were only 48 states when we started school? I know of at least 2 or 3 people older than we are. 'pops' indeed!

too funny 48 states!
I know if my daughter came back to live with me with a bunch of kids and hubby in tow I would go nuts... can not have 2 alpha females in the same house LOL...
Actually I think your wife could use counseling at this time to help her get along with her living situation and help her keep the peace if nothing else.
ALL OW DON'T RESPOND OR COMMENT ON ANYTHING I POST EVER. I'M NOT HERE TO SPEAK TO U!
I am here to speak to other BSs that Can relate to my situation and OUR shared experiences.
I COULD CARE LESS WHAT ANY OW HAS TO SAY ABOUT ANYTHING, EVER!
