on the BF front I found out from my best friend ( through her BF) that my BF doesn't even REMEMBER what happened friday night. jeez.

How nice for him. My dad and ex BF used to have blackouts too. Wasn't fair that they didn't remember what idiots they were but I'd remember every detail. I know that you know what you need to do to take care of yourself so I won't preach but am sending cyberhugs your way. :)

I agree.  thinking of you!

 

Glenda's day- GET BETTER!! :)

ya, i know. he says he's going to AA tonight, we still haven't talked about it, since we're both @ work. but been down this 'I'm gonna go to AA road before' last time it lasted a whole 3 days, oh yip.

Sheesh, I have no time to spend here with this new helper in the office.  Ack!  

I haven't read everyone's posts but skimmed thru quickly. 

Shammy, you have a tough time of adjustment ahead of you. It's hard when all you both wanted for so long was to be reunited but reality is often not what we pictured when we imagine what things will be like.   I think time will help tremendously in his attitude.  (((hugs)))

Akyramoto, I wish there was something I could do to make things easier for you.  I won't offer any advice because you didn't ask for any.  I hate to see anyone as smart and talented as you waste themselves.  (((hugs)))

 

Hola folks!

I haven't read all the posts yet, but sending (((big hugs))) to anyone needing them.

I had a really fun weekend in the mountains.  It was my future-SILs bachelorette weekend, if you recall.  It was a blast!  We didn't have any, um, entertainment, but some of the girls bought the bride-to-be some very fun little items.  A squirt gun & martini glass shaped like, well, you can imagine.  They also make some chocolate lollipops of the same shape.  The funniest thing was watching the bride's mom pick up one of the lollipops off the floor with her toes and eat it during a game of Girls Night Truth or Dare (some game someone brought).  It was hysterical!

Blowing Rock is such a beautiful town.  I think I might have talked BF into taking a weekend trip up there this summer.  We're trying to get my best friend & her hubs to come, too, for her birthday weekend in July.  Hopefully this time I'll get to meet up with Amber (Moonlight)!  I was so bummed that we were unable to connect.  Darn house had no internet connection!

I stayed up way too late last night watching the Lost finale.  Man, am I gonna miss that show....

Heather, it sounds like it was a hilarious weekend! Too funny about the chocolate lollipops!!

 

 Flyers are in the Stanley Cup Finals!! Guess what I'm going to be trying to get tickets to? Don't think I'm going to be seeing a parade, but if I luck out and get tickets to the right thing, I might get to see the cup. I've been at games the last two times the Devils were in it, but I have never seen the cup winning game.

FIngers crossed that Tina's red dober boy gets a home quickly.

Jackie, sorry to hear about the nest.

Good to hear that Willow is starting to feel better.

Akyramoto, if the BF doesn't remember what happens after he drinks, I recommend beating his butt with the idog 2x4 every time that it happens.

Shammy, hang in there. You're in an adjustment period, things will get better!

I am tired, & cranky, & my poor family has taken the brunt of my crappy mood. I figure that I deal with their mood swings daily, so I'm entitled to one of my own every now & then.

We had a moment of hilarity this evening. My brother was over for dinner, & he was out in the yard playing tug with Cher. Some how, tug that they were playing with was launched across the yard, & he beat Cher to it. He was running, full speed, leaned over to grab a handle, & stumbled a few steps which gave Cher time to grab her tug. She apparently had a death grip on the tug because baby bro's feet went flying out from under him, & he ended up laying on his back in the middle of the yard. To add insult to injury, Cher opted to drag him around by the tug. Without any comments, it was hilarious, but DS2 felt the urge to announce, as baby bro was getting up, "WOW Uncle C, Cher made you her bitch." I probably would have peed myself from laughing so hard, had that not came out of my 10 year old's mouth.

DH agreed to have a pool built. Apparently, giving him the choice between getting the pool, a buying an RV was the way to go. I guess that I'm just not as good as Deb, when it comes to sexual favors....

Sorry Shammy I didnt see this...

I hope that I am not annoying everyone on dog.com. I am so stinking needy or something at the moment!

Dont even think about "annoying"....that is what we are all about isnt it?  We have all had our "needy" moments!  Hang in there.  It will be worth it..you both have some adjustment and when it levels out everyone wins!

Shoot, I'd think of it as "Supporting Our Troops" by supporting our troops' families. ;)  I have heard all the same issues you've mentioned with spouses returning from deployments.  Even one of my very good friends, who is in the Army with her husband - and fully understands all the things he's been doing while away from home, says there's a whole new routine to running the household when there's a second parent around who wasn't there before.  At first you think it's bound to be a blessing, because you actually have another set of hands to help.  But, it turns out there are often differing agendas.  You have been under "Maintain and Make It Through" mode for the past however many months.  You chose your battles differently (and isn't "choosing your battles" quite a lot of parenting at these ages??) when it was just you managing the household.  Your husband likely has a different agenda - that he might not even be conscious of - simply because he's been living in a very results-oriented environment (not to mention, one where obedience and respect for authority is critical, and likely why part of his agenda focuses on getting the kids to "obey".)  I think it's AWESOME that he took your suggestion to read the book and invested so much time to work on it.  That speaks VOLUMES for his character and willingness to work with you and understand how to parent your children together.  Rock on for him!!

Ok, that's probably stuff that has already been written by others (I haven't read the whole thread - just got done writing for school, so I'm feeling a little, verbose? lol)

Gracie was cocking her ear again today - it's the saddest thing, especially after I put the ear cleaner in there, because she just looks absolutely pathetic.  Poor kiddo.  PS, getting Patrick's nail quicks to recede is pretty much an act in futility.  Everything on that dog grows like weeds! 

Meanwhile, I had to actually turn my AC off today (after turning it on yesterday), because it wasn't cooling as well as it should.  Once the winds died down (and I took down the shade umbrella that was broken in half from the wind!), I shut off the AC and opened the windows.  It feels perfect for sleeping right now.

Edit to add - AWw, DANG!!!  Just read about Megan and Tiki.... I'm so, so sorry, Megan.  (((((HUGS)))))
