DDA Chapter 14

[KristineN]

Theresa....

In very simplistic terms...all I can tell you is that for me, getting divorced was best thing that I could of ever done. Jeff wasn't and isn't a bad guy....but it was a marriage that was not filled with any joy. If you find a way to put any fears and doubts in the back of your mind....the road that lays ahead for you will be a wonderful one...so I for one, am happy for you!!

Hang in there...it gets easier

About a year ago I heard the term "tipping point" and had it explained to me.

I truly believe there are tipping points in all aspects of our lives. I had my tipping point at work back in February when I KNEW I couldn't keep working here and it gave me the kick in the pants to REALLY look for another job. While that job hasn't shown up yet, I have faith.

Unless something miraculous happens in my marriage it had it's tipping point yesterday. While I am legally still married (and probably will be until I can fund a divorce), I just can't even look at Jim. As I told him it was the small piece of the puzzle still missing and he put it there to finish it. It was not the tipping point I was hoping, praying for but it happened just the same.

Time to make the donunts.... see you tonight!

Speaking of Kathrin... some PD and good thoughts would be much appreciated by this old Mom.

She has her root canal done tomorrow and they will check the teeth on either side to be certain there is no further damage to them.

On Monday she has an interview with The Princeton Review. That would be the perfect match for her since the position she had in Richmond was in marketing colleges and universities. The only drawback is that she would have to drive to get to work. But her room mate is willing to let her use her car for the time being.

You've or rather she has all of our support


The school just called and asked me to sub all day tomorrow too. I'm feeling better about things for the time being. If I can get in a good amount of subbing and continue with 2 or 3 nights at the restaurant then we should be fine. At least that is what I'm hoping. We will be fine, I just want to replenish our saving account since we bought the furnace and did an unplanned trip.

Hey, she must own a jet because I think I teach her kids and she does exactly the same things in my classes (which are parent participatory also!).

I hate parents like that! Children are not accessories, or trophies, or furnishings. If the mom is going to be so pompous and self-absorbed she needs to hire a babysitter. No self-respecting nanny would put up with a boss like that.

OMG I misspelled it!!!! I went back and changed it!!!!!

it is called the CRAB TRAP

I was kind of thinking it was a typo, but I forgot to ask. "Crap Trap" does rhyme.

Deb, how sad for your MIL!

Elizabeth, I'm sorry but I was cracking up at your descriptions of that mom and her DD!

Stay tuned - I bet there will be more. Unless I am not standing close enough to hear her next week.

Things are falling into place for the December trip. Kristin booked her aidfare over the weekend and this morning I booked Kathrin's!

Does anyone know if ME will take someone to a different resort than they were initially supposed to go to? We are at POFQ but have Christmas Eve ADRs at Cape May Cafe at 8:45. I am concerned that Kathrin will have trouble getting to POFQ and the to BC in time for dinner.

I don't think you can take ME to a resort other than the one where you are staying. Isn't the ME ressie linked to your room ressie? I think it is. Just have her take a cab to BC.

Good luck to Kathrin! I didn't realize she doesn't have a car in Boston! Well, plenty of time to sort that out after she gets the job!

Time to make the donunts.... see you tonight!

I have been craving donuts, but I am not going to go get any.

Speaking of root canals..Bill is going in for one today....root canal & a crown $2000!

Yikes! Expensive dental work is even worse than plain dental work! I hope it goes well.

My DB and family were able to have ME pick them up at FW rather than POP since they spent their last day at the campground with us. I think it can be done, but not sure how difficult it would be on the arrival end


Elizabeth I totally screwed up my diet and ate 5, yes 5 rasberry filled sugar cookies They were calling out to me and I must admit that I am a bit stressed today.

 

[KristineN]

I never did understand why the Feds don't have dental insurance...

Yikes! Expensive dental work is even worse than plain dental work! I hope it goes well.

Theresa, . I'm so sorry for what you are going through. If I can do anything, or just lend an ear, please let me know. Just remember, we are here for you.

it is called the CRAB TRAP

Now I'm wondering how it WAS spelled!

I am so sorry.

What Elizabeth said....it's probably a good thing the Donut Hut isn't within walking distance or I'd be in BIG trouble.

Kristine is right. She told me the exact same things when I was going through all of my problems. Just have faith, do what is best for you and the girls.

Elin quoted it, I believe -- "Crap Trap"

 

[Pooh67_68]

See I thought that was the actual name.

[Pooh67_68]

Where, where?

Good thoughts for Kathrin.

 

[babytrees]

You all are the best ladies (and gentlemen) on the planet and I thank you for your support.

If I could I would giggle over what was my tipping point...it was a damn pb&j sandwich.

 

[KristineN]

care to elaborate?
