Hey BUGS,

It real funny that you mentioned this:
Quote
I understand the comment about self-doubt, but HEY - LOOK AT YOU! Look at where you are TODAY compared to oh not so long ago! Amazing growth & strength!!

Because I have homework from my IC today...I have to write down what I have accomplished since I left home! Also, who my support people are, and some worksheets...i have to go to the library and see if the book's there that goes with the worksheets...like an inventory....

in the works, BABY! YeeHA!

MIlk, Thanks for the validation...I also have a few things that i have to work on with the kids to "break" the cycle...

I'm trying to work in something called "hug time"...whenever someone in the family is feeling low or not, they can call HUG TIME and we all start hugging each other...great way to fill an EN, not only mine but of the boy's...

I had a really great session today...I scheduled one for next Wed., day before court...one last day of peace is what I called it! LMAO

guy Smiley...

Thanks for the hug! I missed it earlier!

((((Right back at you!)))) <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

On a side note, book should be at the library according to the website and I ordered the workbook...amazing HOW cheap you can pick up some of this stuff!

My IC was laughing when she handed me the worksheets, which are copies from the workbook...she said "You don't have to do them if you don't want too!" I said "No, this is what I need I don't mind doing anything that you think will help. My main goal here is to be healthy!"

We talked briefly about some of the dreams I've been having with STBX in them and she said that's something that we can work on. So, I'm hopeful about that!

Frog, LA, and Mimi...you should be so proud!

I like my IC and I'm doing the work...I'm sure that you guys remember how I FELT about IC...I enjoy going!

Frog, you especially, you remember how we talked about your FWW and I having alot of the same FOO problems and thinking that we weren't affected by it but in the last four months I have seen differently and I'm determined to change that for the better!

There's a few things that I feel uncomfortable talking about, it's like I'm embarrassed...you know like little kids get when they talk about kissing or something like that...but I do it anyway...

I don't walk out feeling like a basket case!

I can think back and laugh about "ME" being an SA!

SF WAS the farthest thing from my mind since talking to THAT IC until recently...

::::Disclaimer- The following IS NOT intented for the MALE MB Members or Lurkers!:::




HEY BUGS...CJ...SIS...and all those involved IN THAT convo...

I HAve a BOB! But I'm going to rename BOB...my secret!

:::End disclaimer!::: Please continue reading all MALE friends!

So, LIFE IS GOOD! Hopefully I can keep my "anxiety" level down in the following days leading to court!

****I have to watch out for any [email]SMART@$$[/email] comments from BC here!***

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

Well, let me get back to work!

SMARTA$$ Comments?

About What?

Must be something you mentioned in your disclaimer which I can't read b/c I have male eyes.

Hey, did I mention that the other night Rin couldn't keep her eyes off the flag pole at the court house?

I just thought about that. Don't know why.

Huh?

Oh well, carry on

Look at you guys having fun without me! LOL

Well, we just arrived home, Graduation was great...L came home with five books, a V-tech laptop, Free meal to Golden Corral, a free ice cream cone, an art kit, two firefighter hats, two ballons, stickers, a bag of cheetos, a t-shirt, and graduation cap! I think I remembered it all!

There was food, pictures, Spiderman, Dora, a fire truck...

I got to see the Sister (Nun) who helped me in my childhood, and a counselor when I went for the summer to Nicholls State University...MOF, she has some programs that I can get into becasue of our present sitch and will be calling me...

IT WAS AN awesome night...they had some of the kids dance to "I believe I can Fly" bu R' Kelly and I just wanted to tear up...I thought that should be MY new theme song right now...

I'm going to check with this friend of mine with the programs and see if she has something that would help me go back for my Master's...I figure it's worth a try! I asked her if it was according to income and she said no, based on some of the things that happened with STBX we qualify!

Awesome, any help is greatly appreciated, especially if it benefits the kids!

My mom TMed as we were leaving wanting to know what we were up to, so I called, it was easier...told her I haven't heard anything from my A and didn't know if STBX was taking the kids this weekend or not but I needed him to do it next weekend because I ahve plans...

She said that it was good that I had plans for next weekend...and that she was glad that I was feeling good about the upcoming court date!

Oh, before we went I had some time to kill and I had a friend who lives close to where we had to go...I think she's in her late sixties...well, I thought let me just drop in and say hi REALLY quick...

I knew that she was having a rough time b/c her Aunt was dianosed with cancer and they didn't think that she had long to live...well, she passed Tues.

My friend, K, met us at the door, and I hugged her, she said "How did you knwo I needed a hug?" I said God always has great timing! Then, I said "okay, boys, our purpose is served here, lets go!" SHe was walking out of the door to go to the wake!

She said that she fell bad that we didn't get to stay...I told her that we had a little time and we couldn't stay but a minute anyway, so I had served my purpose. I hugged her again and we went right around the corner for L's thing.

I had the hardest time tryig to remember how to get to her house...drove around for 30 minutes...but no I know why I thought about her and did what I did...she needed me!

I was her Angel today and that's the kind of stuff that makes you feel good! To think that I was a little light in her day! I was having a great day to begin with but that was the cherry on top.

So, you can see why I was a little emotional at the ceremory...it's a great program and there's only three cities in the state that has it!

SO, BC...you like to play with balls do you? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

LMAO... I'm glad that it's a great start for you BUGS...IT DID FEEL REALLY GOOD!

My morning had not been going well...I woke up ten minutes to 8...have to be at work for 8...out the house with kids in 15 minutes...teeth brushed, hair, clothes...gone...stopped at the store, my card wouldn't work...got to work at 8:30...we're having "our meeting" on the porch this morning and a coworkers point out that I have a screw in my tire...

I said well, that the best screw I've had in a while! So, I have to get that fixed at lunch...it's in there REALLY good!

Then I have the song in my head by Bones, Thugs, and Harmony "It's the first on the month"...should be getting that CS soon! LMAO...

So, needless to day I'm JUST getting my daily dose of coffee in me this morning...wierd thing...I use my cell for my alarm clock...well, it doesn't go off if the phones open...I remember checking the time in the middle of the night! Oh, well!

He is, STBX is driving me crazy indirectly...what a morning!

I had a VM from the company that has our car, truck, and a CC...well, they were calling me @ the truck note, but they got it! Well, I figured while I have them on the phone let me check the CC...PAST DUE!

I hate being late on ANYTHING...it's past due one payment, plus the current payment! So, I guess I'll have to take care of that too! Both our names, and if I don't want it to effect mine well, little Rin comes to the rescue again!

I can't do it today, I'm taking care of that OUR loan he let go behind THREE MONTHS! Today payment will bring it current...so, I gues I'll use part of the CS to bring this one current too!

I haven't busted my butt for nothing with my credit score and I'll be darn if I'm going to let HIM ruin all MY hard work!

Note to S out there: Work as a team and know your finances...STBX NEVER paid a BILL the WHOLE time we were Med! I complained SOOO much about this!

You know, soon enough, I can stop covering for HIM...this will be coming to a head!

::sigh::

Oh Rin!

What a day you are having! I am soo sorry!

Kick the desk, count to 10 and take some deep breaths.

I would LOVE to kick your STBX's a$$ for you!

I,too, am a big one to NEVER be late w/a payment. I have to admit,though, w/the events of recent months, I have been a day or 2 late on a couple of things.

Atleast it is Friday!

Hope you have some fun planned for the weekend. Remember, there is light at the end of the tunnel,,,and this time it's Not the train- it is the porch light of YOUR house!
