Renee I hope you got a little rest last night. Bless your heart - I just cannot believe that anyone could do something like this to someone - let alone their family. Just know that I'm thinking about you and if there is anything I can do to help just let me know. I'm glad your folks are coming to help you move.

I know it probably seems impossible right now to even get your mind around all of this but you will get through it. Just take it a day, or an hour or a minute at a time.

Good morning all Have my morning cup of coffee and trying to wake up.

Man, I am sore from yesterday. I have muscles screaming that I didn't even know I had! But it's a good feeling, as weird as it seems. Still have a few other things to tackle today, but I'll do a little at a time.

~~~~~~~~~~

Renee, Hoping you got some rest last night.

Frank, fingers are crossed that you'll be coming home soon.

Fin - So, what are you going to do on day #2? LOL. Housecleaning can be great exercise. When I clean I stretch at the same time. I make every move count. I decided that when I can clean my whole place all in one shot and in 2 hours, it is time to consider going back to the workforce. It has been 2 years now and I still have to break it up (kitchen/livingroom one day, bathroom/my bedroom the next, DDs room - I don't touch that. That's their responsibility. Laundry another day. Then I do the cycle again. Many days I don't get much further than the kitchen.)

Renee - How are you doing, sweetie? I hope you were able to get some rest. I am so glad your parents will be coming to help you through this. Hang in there. Amp up your inner strength as you need for both yourself and the kids. Still saying prayers for you.

Frank - Glad to hear from you. I'm sorry Chucky is still giving you a hard time and your plumbing is a little out of whack. But, hopefully you will be going home today. Still saying my prayers for you too.

Hi Everyone else! Hope you all have a good day.

I started following this thread just a few days ago.

Geez Renee - this is way tough. Keep going, your kids will help you just with love. Where is the SOB?

I am leaving for NY to see my son graduate from college. dreading the 5 hour flight. dreading leaving the house.

life is so routine in the house.

so we shall see.

Good Morning everyone!

The sun is shining today so I am happy. I am so sick of dreary, rainy days. I have an appointment with my pcp in 30 miunutes. I am still experiencing some tightness in throat/upper chest so I guess that means more tests. He has already ordered a pulmonary function test. Maybe this is MS hug? I know he also may order some cardiac tests.

Renee, Just want to let you know I am thinking about you and your kids. Stay strong!

Frank, Hope you are on your way home.

Sandy, Hope you have been able to figure out a way to get Jim treatment.

Hope you all have a good weekend!

Sending huge hugs to Renee. I thought about you all night and said a few special prayers for you and the kids. I am so angry and hurt for you. After I spoke to you last night my heart ached. You were so sad and I couldn't do anything about it.

Aarcyn, he's already in Arkansas. He took leave from the AF to do all this.

UPDATE: I ended up helping Nik move anyway. His car broke down again and so off I went. I got home about 11pm and was tired to say the least. He had it towed to the mechanic but it's going to the junk yard gravesite today. He'll be looking for a new car today and mom and dad will be taking him tomorrow or Sunday to buy one if Jim is feeling better.

No I didn't sleep last night, no the SOB still won't take my calls, I did find out he went to the family support center yesterday to print off directions to Arkansas etc when I went in to fax stuff to my attorney the lady said hey your husband was here yesterday! She said he gave no clue as to what he did. I am still trying to be strong for the kids got a little packing done I am just a wreck though the whole gamut of emotions going on. Love u guys though!

Hi Folks, This is the first time I've come to this thread. Do you just talk about whats going on 'today' & such?
I recognise some of you & you know me! (_@_) (I think you were around then Corky??)

I haven't done much yet. My DH, DD, her gf & I just got back from the college she wants to transfer to (but the subject she wants has a waiting list...she can't get in till 2010 so she'll just stay at UT. Right now I just watching TV & clicking keys. I'll likely be back later today. I usually am home all day, DH works & my kids go to school, work or out with freinds. I come to computer for someone to talk to/write to.

Welcome Lor! It is nice to meet you. You can just talk about your day or whatever you want on this thread.

I went to my pcp today and had an EKG. It was normal So now I am scheduled for a pulmonary function test, a colonoscopy, an MRI, and a cardiac stress test over the next few month. I definitely know how to have fun. The good news is that my cholesterol and liver tests were fine. I am still waiting on the results of my Vitamin D test.

I celebrated by going out to lunch to a Mexican restuarant.

hey Barb ... sounds like an 'exciting' day!! and I bet you are just beat!

I made the label and sewn it on the quilt for the wedding tomorrow ... going to be nice to just get away from the tin-condo for a day ...

good thing this isn't a web-cam - I have a 'mask' on ... gotta look good tomorrow ... and tried to rest today - even got a nappy in around 4ish...

received the email denial from Cargill over in Minneapolis ... that's okay - I reread one of my past course papers that I had received full credit for, about my corporation ... and - seeing that I haven't read it in over a month ... I was quite impressed .. and would consider funding it!

so, going to submit the plan this week ... and 'leave it in His hands' about my future fate ...

my dream: to stay in this area .. .or somewhere close to water ... and have a studio with power and water (and a/c) to paint ... and of course - a bigger, nicer trailer ... soooooo, seeing that I'll be dressed up for the wedding tomorrow, I'm going to stop in at an area mobile home dealer and see what I would have to do - and get some pricing to add to my business plan.
