Hi Angel,

Yes bugs are coming from OW's house. I was wondering the same thing if Kimmy could turn OW in to Protective Services or something.

Kimmy,

I hope you can do this. I feel so bad to see you going through this kind of stress from OW. Are you doing OK otherwise.

Nios--what is up? Did you read my small update on KT thread?

My H just had a blank look this morning when I said what I said--think I will mention to him causally that I'm house hunting!

I'm staring not to care and my love for him is changing and I need to preserve it so I need some distance.

It's amazing how what makes us happy changes--10 years ago laundry being done--who cares--now it makes me happy to.

How our views change over time--I think my H's haven't grown up as mine have.

Have fun at the beach! Had to keep bothering you because usually you are so chatty and well frankly I missed it.

I agree with you Albany, I have been missing that wit of hers too. So I hope you are really peachy! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Oh God, that's awful Kimmy, I'm sorry.

I'm glad though that the dad you've talked about is ok. Is he still giving you fits, or have things gotten better on that front?

Take good care.

It's okay AD. There are some abandonment issues that my sis and I have, but it's not something I think about constantly. My dad was a ws, and after the second time he cheated on my mom, she took us and left. You might say she was plan b-ing at the time, but that was before MB. Anyway my dad always wanted her back, but by the time he really figured it out my mom had remarried my other dad. Daddy (biodad) went thru a few relationships and turned to drugs. Oh and to top it off, he was a psychologist....worked suicide hotline and everything.....they do say it's one of the most depressing occupations...but anyway, we were better off with my dad, Mike as a dad....but we still miss Daddy sometimes. He was a good guy...just.....wayward in more ways than one.

Oh, and btw: My sister and I didn't know about Daddy's infidelities till WAY after we were grown. My mom protected us from all of that - we were ever so safe and secure growing up. My mom rocks!

Mike, my dad, is still telling me he loves me and everything, but there is a def. rift there. I don't think he comprehends the depth of my resolve....I tried to direct him to the MB site so he could see this is not something I was taking lightly or "settling" for....that it was a really tried and true blue program, but he refused. I think he thinks I'm not protecting myself...when actually, I am. I do tell him I love him, too...make it a point to hug and kiss him....but my heart aches because I think I'm disappointing him, when actually if he'd TRY to understand he'd see I'm doing EXACTLY what I need to do at this moment. I guess I'm plan Aing him, now....

So. Happy thing. Nio called this morning just because (he does that a lot now <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> ) and right before we get off the phone, I tell him that I think he is wonderful....there was a pause...I could tell he was smiling (I could hear his dimples), then he says "I think you're pretty wonderful, too." I cried. Tears and everything. It was due...it's been due for a long time....and I am so grateful to God that He is working on my dh!

Hi Kimmy,

I am so happy for you Kimmy. I am going through scary mixed feelings right now but I am so thankful I got you and all the rest of the MB crew to help me keep things in perspective. At least my husband is no longer so cocky. He can feel me slipping through his fingers and he is scared. I called him and told him I had stuff I would like him to read so he can understand what I am feeling. He agreed. I see now that he is hurting too and I would like to help him heal too any way I could. If I leave him I would like to say I have done all I can do. Thank you so much for your help.

You will Genia. I know you will. You're on the right Path...just keep your feet walking no matter how hard it gets. These guys, these boys, won't change unless they've been forced to see the Light - they've just been in the dark too long.

Hi Kimmy,

Are you doing OK? How is your stomach? Did you get the problem solved concerning OW's infested house? I am glad at least that you and husband are getting really close. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Niosgirl~

BIG HUGS--you made me tear up--so happy for you girl.

ON a different note what happened to the critter infested OW"s house and that whole deal--I really think she is unfit--she has six kids right?

Don't freak darlin. I think it was because of the ARRRRGHHH part at the top - I'm guessing it didn't know when to wrap.

The plans are to still get the kids, but we really need to get a bigger house first. The baby salad DID work. I'm just afraid mija's gonna have them again...oy! I TOLD the kooze that those bugs FEED every 3 hours...that means drinking that baby's blood...how could she let her kids suffer that?

HAPPY NOTE: We have a new family member. Jigglypuff the hamster has joined our household. She's a brown and white (panda markings) long haired hamster - and she was the fattest, rolliest, polliest hamster Petsmart had. My boy (4) gets this real tender look in his eye when he looks at her, and softens his voice when he talks to her. It's too, too cute!

Hi Kimmy,

Those kids are so lucky to have you. I know they loved the hamster. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

PS: We need more of your humor and less of the board wars. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

awe a hamster! cute! Ever since Jauna the iguana died (imagine trying to have a funeral w/ a 4yo incessantly repeating: "It's dead, yah it's dead, maybe it needs water but it's dead, maybe it will eat the dirt but it's dead." <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> ) H told him we'd get a new pet.....a hamster most likely, @ least a pet you can actually cuddle!

He's been bugging me just today to go 'look' @ Petco!
