Drac is toast!

hehehehehe

LMAO! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

One other quick note - -

via 2 different sources I heard a rather bothersome, yet interesting & uplifing story.

Seems that when Drac left his other job, his email was reviewed by someone at that company (which is standard, especially when Drac was going back to work with the competition).

Seems that this person is not the most professional (no big surprise at this place, let me tell you). Anyway, they read some of the emails from ME to Drac AND then shared that information with another person,,,,who shared it with another,,,,,,,,,and apparently it is probably now through their entire office.

While I TOTALLY hate that my personal life is even more splattered all over the walls for everyone to see, both people told me virtually the exact same thing -

They said "Bugs, you are SO Extremely Respected by so many people at that company now. They ALL are amazed at your strength of character, the way you have conducted yourself, now that they know the FULL story of what went on and is going on with Drac. He wasn't honest with them and from what was in the emails,,,,, let's just say you are held in the HIGHEST esteem over there"

So, atleast more people know the TRUTH, which is a good thing. And, it does make me feel a bit better knowing that I can continue to hold my head high in the midst of it all and know that I am respected by more people than I realized.

I did a quick review of the emails I'd sent him at that office. I know I would respect and admire the woman who sent all of those messages!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I respect and admire her too!

(FYI: I am losing my energy for posting, so I haven't been around as much. Do you pay attention to all the conflict on MB? Its draining me. So while I remain one of your cheerleaders...I feel like I have less to say lately....)

Lexxx,

First, thanks! That means a lot to me from you and back at ya! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I UNDERSTAND what you are saying. I feel pretty much the same way.

I check up on a few threads every day,,but am not posting much other than my own updates and checking in with a few folks.

Draining is a good description of it.

Thanks for keeping up with me!

I'm right in there with you...that's why I haven't been on much of late too!

And I don't look at the threads, just reading the titles is draining!

BUGS, I think that's great! I said you were Classy! NOW, you have the validation to go with it!

Please bow, feel free to pat yourself on the back, jump up and down, or whatever you need to do to let the excitment out!

I have to admit to jumping up and down a few times in the last few months! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Rin,

I'm with you,,,,I don't even really look much at the titles anymore myself.

Ahhh,,,,, just those little validations feel so good!



Good for you! I once teased Still about dancing around in her living room naked when she was home by herself,,,,,
OR
There's the song, I Ain't Settlin' where she dances a blue streak around the living room in her new high heels,,,,,

I think perhaps I'll treat myself to a pedicure this weekend. That would be a 'classy' thing to do,,,,especially now that it is sandal weather!

LMAO..perhaps I'll try that out myself when I get "my own Place"!

I "LOVE" Sugarland...got the CD a few weeks ago and I couldn't remember the last time I bought one! horrible huh?
My fav by them is "i don't want too?"

pedicure? Sounds good to me...I would like to get one...never had one so I think that it would be cool...it's um...part of my self care that "I" do! Long nights in the tub, don't want to get out...but it's got to feel SOOOO much better when someone else does it!

Hey, how about a CD of some great music that Drac likes as a present to go with PBL? Love songs or something?

Rin,

you have GOT to go get yourself a pedicure baby!! It is one of the BEST gifts you will ever give yourself and then you will be hooked on them like I am. I should get them more often,,,,,time is the issue with me.

It is SO FUNNY that the Sugarland cd is the first one you bought yourself in forever,,,,,,,,,,it was EXACTLY the same for me.



I did burn a cd for him a couple of months ago of songs that he liked, that meant something to us, etc. I don't know what he did with it,,,,,he was at the height of the A at the time, so who knows.

I've thought about making another one. Drac has hundreds of cds,,,,,buys them all of the time. Problem is, he took all of the ones I need with him! Maybe I'll ask to borrow his case of cd's for the weekend,,,since he's home sick anyway. I'll just tell him I want to copy them for myself.

Great idea!

I have a couple of cards that I bought some time ago that I've been holding on to, tryin to decide if/when to give them to him.

One has a pic of a puppy dog walking away - - Inside says, "you can get that cute little butt right back here"

Another has a baby hiding it's face, counting six, seven, eight, nine, ten" Inside says- Ok you can come back now

The last one says "ill never be finished,,,," Inside says "loving you".

I'm running out of time to give them as Plan B approaches!!!

I've been frustrated by my inability to find THE GODDESS THREAD by doing SEARCHES... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

But..shame on you guys for letting those THREADS..drain you...

All together now GODDESSES.."TO THE LEFT..TO THE LEFT..."...that song is soooo EMPOWERING...

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Let it ride on THE HOSPITAL SCENARIO for awhile..no cards or CDs...

That was MORE POWERFUL than you think...

Called you this morning, didn't he?????

Mimi,

I will try to find that thread,,,,,we need to bring it back to the top!

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Oh yes,,,, had that turned up REALLy loud this morning!

I thought as much on the cards/cd for right now,,,,not becuase I know so much,, but because it just didn't feel "right" at this moment.

I will be delivering him some really good chicken soup on the way home tonight (thanks for the idea LG)

yes,,,, he DID call me this morning. He did NEED me this morning. Felt pretty good. Also made me giggle knowing how it will drive him nuts when I no longer take those calls!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> Is that wicked of me??

Earlier today I got a call from drac's attorney friend about a legal matter, but what he really wanted to talk about was if he could talk to Drac about us working thing out.

He 'said' he was going to call him, that Drac needs to come home.

I do not know if Drac will listen, but one more voice on the 'good side' can't hurt

Then, tonight, on the way home I was telling God again--it is His plan in His hands-in His way and in His time

The phone rang later and it is a friend of Drac's from work who moved away some time ago. This guy went to seminary school, has talked to Drac for years about his R with God, and is someone who Drac admires A LOT

He has not spoken to Drac in a year ,,, so I filled him in on Everything.

He is a GREAT counselor, who currently works with hospice patients.

He asked a lot of questions and I was TOTALLY honest with him.

If anyone can possibly help God with His plan, it is this guy. He wants our marriage restored and cares for Drac so much!

Talk about timing!

NOW I feel like dancing!

He is calling Drac. It will be very interesting to see what happens.

LMAO...that was my theme song RIGHT after I left...

Funny, the KIDS WOULD SING IT TOO! F KNOWS what's going on and understands well!

HAHA, talk about God's timing huh? That's great!

I had a little something happen tonight with God's timing...not for me but I was glad that I could make a difference!

Here's another for you to dance too...Shake it Off by Mimi's favorite artist! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

How about GLAMOROUS by FERGIE..my favorite drive-in to work song...

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Oh, I love that one TOO! I've even got the kids spelling it!

Got to love those educational songs! LMAO <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

And no doubt in Godress wear! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

"Flyin'First Class..Livin' the Life..Flossin'"

Ah,,,Musical Goddess Inspirations,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,thanks!!

Well, last night I dropped off a cuddly teddy bear and some chicken soup at FIL's house. No one home, so I left it on the porch. I called Drac and left a vm,,,, just checking on you, give me a call.

He called back about an hour later on his way home from work. He ended up working most of the day, then had to deliver an item from work to a friend (rental return), and they went for a bite to eat. Said eating made him feel even worse. We talked for a bit and then he said he'd call the kids at the usual time (if he was still awake)

He did call as usual. DD got on the phone and said "I'm playing checkers with Mommy, and I just want to jump her, jump her, jump her!"

So when I got on the phone I asked "So, do you want to come over and "jump me, jump me, jump me", too?"

Drac laughed - "I'm too exhausted to jump anything right now"

He did sound really bad. Sorry Guys,,,,,,,, but he sounded like a Typical Man when they get sick! Poor baby!

He didn't mention if his christian friend called, and I did not ask. I HOPE he did. We did talk for a while and he asks "So, are you doing anything for DSS's birthday tomorrow?"

I said "Well, of COURSE I am doing something.", sounding incredulous.

Drac "Well, you never told me about anything you were doing or had planned, so I didn't know"

OHHHH,,,,, I bit down hard on my tongue,,, so MANY smart a$$ comments came to mind. Instead, I said, "Well, I plan to take him for dinner and a movie. You are welcome to join us"

Drac - "what movie?"

Bugs- "Pirates"

Drac - "Well, I'd like to spend some time with him tomorrow. I might come to the movie, but probably not dinner"

Bugs - "We'd love you to be there. Let's see how you feel tomorrow" He said he'd call me and let me know how things were going.

I asked if he needed anything or if there was anything I could do,,,, of course he said no and then we said good night. I've been using the baby, sweetie, honey, endearments a LOT during this illness. Funny, it really does feel natural to do that again.

This am, I took DD to the sitter. Drac had already called there before we arrived and the sitter said they'd call him back. I was a bit disappointed that he hadn't called ME,,,,,,,,,,,,but I know, I know, NO Expectations. It wasn't EXPECTED, so much as I had hoped and wished he might. Oh well, no biggie.

So,,,,,,,on with work so I can get out of here early for the big BDay celebration activities tonight!

Good stuff BUGS...boy I really feel that you have this one in the bag!

Poor Drac...he's going to be SOOO LOST without that fabulous BUGS around to take care of him! LMAO

Rin,

Wish I were as positive as you about all of this!

While I know Plan B will be hard on him,,,I am not so sure it will be enough to turn this around. That is in God's hands.

My own Mom, I love her dearly, she is GREAT, and wants to the best for me - said to me this morning "I don't mean to harsh, but he is Not coming back to you".

OUCH!

We were talking about Drac's friend from last night. Mom did say she hopes he helps Drac with his R w/God so that he can be where he should be and also be a better Dad

From her view, I can admire her for what she said and understand. Still hurt.

Bugs:

OUCH.

Thanks, MOM!

What will turn it around? More Plan A or Plan B?

No. The NEW Bugs will turn it around.

Look at how much further along you are now.

Personally, you have traveled far.

And Drac is really, really, on the edge.

Enjoy the party tonight...

LG
