Me without many words today ..... imagine that ..... but two things:
Congratulations Courtney and Paul .... now TJ will have a little brother or sister. Very happy for you all!
Iris .... I have no idea what is the right thing to do in the situation with H and F. The only thing I know is what I would do in the situation if it were me. I think that I would probably talk with her about my concerns with this guy. His infidelity will rise again ...... I don't feel charitable enough today to say that this leopard will change his spots. I would feel concern for future heartbreak, but also her health ..... HPV percentages are raising sharply in 14 - 24 year olds. If he isn't even capable of having a skype call with you with some comfort, especially when you are making such an effort, then perhaps there is even more than what you or H are aware of ..... ? You can still leave the decision up to her to decide what is right for her, but will have offered some sage advice for her to at least factor into her thoughts and choices. We all want the nice Marine guy back!
HE PASSEDDD!!!!!!!:)
Prayers for another woman in our PIR group though, her son was given a brief call today saying he "didnt pass" but didnt say and wasnt allowed to answer WHAT he didnt pass..so it's up in the air as to weather her son graduates friday or not. and the POA is closed for the night. being 14 hours away, she needs to know ASAP. Prayers please:)
Hi Ladies!
Nicole! Let us know what that special call comes! AHHHHH....I can't wait to hear he's a US Navy Sailor! Congrats to the both of you. Friday is just around the corner!
Well, as those of you who are friends with me on FB know, I'm starting a home business. I have my own website now and I'm hoping to get an order sooner than later. I also got my own paypal account, so people can pay with that. I'm so excited about it and am greatly looking forward to it "working".
TJ is now saying Daddy...which as you know, is completely adorable. :) he is sleeping through the night (except for one time, waking up for his pacifier). I'm thoroughly enjoying this thing called, "sleep." Anyone else know what I'm talking about? LOL! I love my son, but my body was so thirsty for real sleep. Paul gave me some nyquil last night and I slept like a rock .
Well, life is about to be much better. We're almost on top of all our bills that we got behind in after we got out of the Navy. We're just slightly short right now, but we're hoping to get on top of it all in the month of August and everythign will be just fine!!!
Well, today is Paul's day off, so I'm gonna run for a little bit. Then later, I'm gonna come back, relax and read everyone's posts! Blessings to all~
Hurley! too funny! i've never heard of such a thing but it does sound pretty neat. i would rather swallow a camera than have one shoved up my arse! you know what i'm saying?! so i guess i'll take "Package A" when the proofs come out...LOL!! in all seriousness though, i hope the pics come back with good news for you. Afterall, that's what we all want in the end.....get it? the end? hahahahahahahaha...ok...i'll stop....for now. i did appreciate the laugh! i really needed it.
nicole! way excited for you! wish it were me going to see my boy! you're going to have a blast! keep us posted on bs and how he did. i'm sure he did great!
iris...sorry about the butt....and the butt who's dating your daughter. i don't like the sounds of him one bit. guys who avoid parents usually don't want to get too emotionally involved because they don't plan on staying around. dated too many guys like that....they're jerks! the only way h will see it for herself is to go through the hurt (ick) or have a good friend tell her. maybe you have a better relationship with your daughter and she'll listen but for the most part, the more you say "stay away" the more they want the relationship. just my thoughts.....
aj, you haven't heard from A recently? i hope you hear something soon! it's so hard to wait.... besides, it's a real sore subject with me right now. i talked to him last tuesday with him saying he would call wed. wed at work my phone rings once and then nothing. it was him. i sent him a text to see if he needed anything....no response. i didn't try to call him until thurs and the phone went right to voice mail. that is so NOT like dyl's. now i'm thinking he's been jumped and someone has his phone or maybe he got in trouble and is in the brig. tried again friday....nothing. tried sat....nothing. Finally he called sat around 10pm. i didn't know whether to laugh or cry! then i was mad!!! that's when i got the "i can take care of myself" lecture. now i'm just sad because i feel like i've lost another little piece of him. omg! you would think my whole world depended on him.......it's really not true but i guess since he's the first to fly the coop, i'm not dealing with this very well.
so....i really did need that laugh today!
ok... gotta run for now.... howdy's out to donna and mary! (hope you found some good deals on school clothes). thank goodness i only have to buy for one this year! woo hoo!
Morning Ladies -
First - Hurley.... Baaaahahahahahahh..... Next - sure you get the fancy smanzy camera that you can put in the right end and I get the one that goes in the wrong way. Lol...... I have never heard of that, but yay for you, I think. Lol.... Absolutely love your story. Glad it had a happy ending.... ha ha ha ha... get it, ending!? Oh the Tush and Cooter jokes we could tell. =) Humor is the best medicine. Keep us posted. I hope you come up with a clean bill of health.
AJ - yes, it is really hard not to want to say "Hey, numb nuts, what do you think your doing?" I actually got to skype with him for less than 5 minutes yesterday and well, it didn't go great. He seemed nervous and tense and didn't respond well to me or my joking. The rest of the group (Haley was hanging out at the smoke shack - no she doesn't smoke, it's just where they hang out) and I got along marvelously, but I suppose they don't have anything to be nervous about. Back to Fred. When Haley skyped me he was back in his room getting ready for work. When he came out I called him over to say hi. He avoided that for as long as he could. Haley looked nervous and well, not herself. You know that look when you want to please one person and that conflicts with someone else you want to please. Yeah, well, I think he has a pretty good hold over her. I sensed dominance and control coming from him. Shit!!!! He finally came over and I jokingly razed him about not talking to me on FB anymore. He was defensive, big time. So I backed off. Wasn't too much longer that Haley said that she really needed to go, she had to take Fred to work (in her car). Man I'm not getting a good vibe from all this. I sooooo.... hope I'm wrong, but I think she's gotten herself into an unhealthy relationship. If it is, how do I handle it? When I'm there, do I tell him how I feel and encourage Haley to end it? Or do I stay out of it and hope she figures it out. Ugh, ugh, ugh!!! My niece went through this not that long ago and she's a mess. He really did a number on her self esteem. Anyhow, I have a skype date this Sunday with him. I certainly hope I get a better sense of who he is. I'll keep you posted.
On the Roller Derby thing I had a spectacular crash on Monday night. Only took out one girl cause I managed to remember to get small (tuck everything in and kind of curl up). But my butt hit my skate wheels pretty hard and now I have these uncomfortable bruises on the underside of each cheek. Lol.... I also have a new wheel burn and bruise across my shin. I've seen bumper stickers that read I'm not abused, I play roller derby. =) Lol.... so true. And the funny part is that we are so proud of our bruises and injuries we have a photo database. Hard core!
Nicole - The shirts are adorable. Have fun, have fun, and have freakin' fun. I'm so excited for you. Can't wait to hear all about it. I'm smiling now just thinking of all the happily ever after shit you are going to tell us. Pics too. =) Safe travels and may your time together go slow and be wonderful.
Mary - Good luck with your replacement. Maybe I should do the same since I miss my girl so much. Wonder how a stranger will react to me asking them to be my stand in daughter. Creepy???? Lol......
Well, I will have more to add on Sunday. RSL and hugs to you all.
