Just heard from Shelly. She is fine, but there was property damage and livestock losses by some of her family. She posted on our FB page so you can go there to see what she wrote. Anyhow, yay.... our girl is found and safe.

Iris you must have such patience and a good hart to adopt those little guys. I bet they are a handfull! I can't wait to see pictures of you all dressed up in your roller derby garb! Happy Haley has a new guy. Sucks he's friends with the other guy... Drama...

D o, d o, d o,where are you, you, you!

Cute tee Mary, you find the coolest stuff!

Mary - That is Awesome!!!! Where did you find that?

 

Calling all ladies who haven't been on in a while. We need updates and we miss you!

Id sure hope Haleys boyfriend has a sense of humor! Just wont fit in withough one! As far as the crutches thing my dad got baby airplane type pillows and strapped them on his.
Comment by iris - Wahiawa, Hawaii on May 25, 2011 at 11:06am

Ha ha ha... thanks d o and AJ. I really had fun at orientation. I've got to get a couple more safety items (knee cap stabilizers and tailbone protection) and I'm good to go. They said they will work our butts off and we will be sore. Think I will cancel my gym membership and just do Derby. I noticed I'm woefully under tattoo'd and pierced. Not sure I'll be doing anything about that though. Lol....

 

My baby racoon's are adorable, stinky and not behaving. I'm suppose to be getting them back on the bottle but they have thwarted all my efforts. I take them in today to see if they are gaining weight. I'm a little worried cause I can't judge how much of the formula they are drinking vs. finger painting with it. Messy, messy, messy little things. I'm lighting all sorts of candles around the house cause peeee-U. I forgot how smelly they are. I'm changing their bedding at each feeding (every 4 hours) but they are little pooing and peeing fools. I'm doing a lot of laundry. In fact I have to pick up some more bedding material cause I can't keep up. When they get older, I can have them outside, but not for a while. So in the meantime, my house smells like a barn. Mmm.... company coming Sunday too. Lol.... it's my sister Charity and her two kids, but still I hate to have things all icky. I wonder if I tried a littler box if that would work or they'd just make a mess with it. I guess I'll give it a try and see if I can train them. Ha ha ha...

 

I Friend Requested Haley's new boyfriend on FB. I think I said something like "they say if you look at the mom, you can see what the daughter will be when she gets older. Only Haley's saner than I am". That ought to scare the hell out of him. Now we will see if this guy has a sense of humor or not. =)

 

Cody has me worried. He's down in the dumps cause he can't exercise or do anything fun. I was worried about that because he is a very physical kid. I don't have any ideas at this time for him. He doesn't build models or really play a ton of video games (his eye's bother him and give him migraine's if he does too much of that). I need to see if I can make the crutches more comfortable too. His pits are sore. I put wash clothes on them, but I'm hoping to find something better. Any idea's ladies for stuff to do?

 

Well, I need to tackle my long list. Hope all of you that are in this crappy weather right now are safe. Please keep us posted so we know you are alright.

Hugs and EBB! =)

Had to go back quite a few pages, but found our new sign off EBB.  All I could remember was elbows ............ anyway, proposed by our own lovely d o:

d o ......... hope you are doing well  ....  we are missing you here!  I'm imagining you on a wild and wonderful motorcycle ride through the Dakotas or something!

Comment by iris - Wahiawa, Hawaii on May 24, 2011 at 12:13pm

Good Morning Ladies -

 

Hurley - Soooooo Happy you got your call(s) from your son. I can remember the feeling and just sit here an smile for you. Not much longer and you will get to see him. Yay!!!  Oh and what do you wear for a fall Rapture? I'm a little out of the fashion rapture loop. =)

 

AJ - Oh, your poor kiddo. I just can't imagine the worry you have for him right now. I'd be driving myself crazy with it. I agree with Donna, doesn't sound like an appendix, but with as exhausted as he's been and the combo of other ailments he has, who knows. I've had mine removed but it was in conjunction with my ascending colon and lymph nodes, so I couldn't tell you if it's a quick recovery or not. Keep us posted, he's definitely in my thoughts as are you. Hugs hon.

 

Mary - I hate to hear that kind of news. Its so tragic and such a waste of life. When things like that happen, I know it just makes me want to grab my kids and hang on. I'm sorry anyone has to experience that kind of loss.

Now about the hubby. Men have to be right. No apologies, ever! No admitting wrongness. If they've thrown out a solution to a problem, it's the right one, period! I doesn't seem to matter if our solution is better, that would be admitting defeat and that is not allowed. So my solution is that it's his idea, he can do it. Good luck. In the end, you'll probably end up doing it your way. =)

 

Mrs. B - Wow, sweetie, so sorry Paul's childhood was such a nightmare. He's fortunate to have you there to support him now. I agree with AJ, you have to allow him the space to figure out his relationship with his mom. The rest can go to hell. Block them on FB and ignore them. They are not worth your time. What is important, is you, TJ and Paul, being together and happy. Ignoring them is going to be one of the hardest things you do. You will feel guilty because these people are suppose to be your family now, and to your mind, you don't treat family that way. There is something really wrong with anyone who can abuse a child. I have no sympathy for them, nor believe they will ever change. The best thing and kindest thing you can do for Paul is to pretend they don't exists. I'm sure when they attack you, it tears Paul up. Get caller ID, screen your calls. You are under no obligation to listen to the abuse, neither is Paul. If they have nothing to feed their hate, they will move on. I'm sorry if my advise sound angry and hard, it is how I feel on the subject. Like I said, child abuse is unforgivable to me. I'm flawed that way, so if you are able to go through all this and Paul is able to forgive what they did to him, take that and hold on to it. But you two are adults now and have the right to a happy life. Sorry if I've said too much. I don't say things as beautifully as AJ. Hugs to you and your little family.

 

Okay - so Haley has a new boyfriend. His name is Fred and he's from (I think) W. Virginia. Here's the interesting part. Remember the young man that was obsessed with Haley. Guess who is friends with Fred and now feels betrayed. Yep. Yesterday am, said young man typed on FB that he was betrayed by a good friend. Unknowingly I responded that if the friendship was important, then they should talk and see if they can work it out. Haley texted me later that day and said "Mom, can we skype?". So I get on with her and she fills me in on all the details. I think Fred was in error by not telling G (said young man) about Haley and him. G found out by bumping into them. I told Haley this was between G & Fred, so not to worry about it. She still feels bad, but she also is like, "Mom, I told G. we are just friends, but apparently he's not over me". Ah young love. G is just going to have to figure things out for himself. I suggested she keep her eyes pealed for a girl that might suit him. She could introduce them. Other than that. Life in Hawaii is going well for her.

 

I just got two new raccoon babies. I do foster care for Chintimini Wildlife Rescue and Recovery Center. They are two little girls. They are pretty young and should still be on the bottle but they aren't. I'm trying to get them to take it. We just want to make sure they get enough nutrition. So far they are eating wet cat food out of a dish and drink the milk that way too, But it's hard to determine how much they ate vs. how much they played in it. Anyhow, I keep trying every 4 hours. Speaking of which, I hear them calling me now, so I better get them their breakfast.

 

Derby tonight. I'll keep you posted to how my first lesson goes. Lol....

 

Hugs, RSL and EBB (could someone refresh my memory to what that means). I'll post pics of the babies soon.

So im sitting in school right now waiting to take my last final of the day. Less then 15 days until G leaves and im preparing,myself the best I can. he took me on a secluded picnic on the 20th it was a beautiful 3 month date and a great last month together. Im extremely sorry to hear that Mrs.B. even though it is his family- don't let them bring you down. Hold your head up high and know everything they did made Paul who he is today. The man you love. The father of your beautiful baby boy. The things they say are low blows and is worse than highschool drama it seems but keep looking forward. They're just looking to see you fall. And that's the satisfaction they want. Never ever stumble and let them have it:)
Comment by Donna-Amanda's mom on May 24, 2011 at 11:05am

AJ, That was a beautiful response to Mrs. B. It brought tears to my eyes, Very well said.

Hope all hear from their sailors soon.
