[2girlsmom]

Where are my attorney peeps?

I swear my kids are trying to kill me. I am going to sound like some redneck, hillbilly mama, who dont know how to raise kids but here goes.....

1. DD 17 pregnant and single- ok we are coping with that one and getting ready to welcome a new "short" person to our family


BUT today after I have worked all night my DH calls to tell me that my son is in jail in Memphis, TN..... I'm too ashamed to publically display the charges.....

I dont know if I told it before but this is now the SECOND time for the same thing... (not drugs)..... last time he was able to bond himself out, he paid his fines, he went to his class........ you would have thought coughing up roughly $1,000 of his own money that he would have learned..... BUT NOOOO!.... He's in trouble again. I guess laws vary from state to state but they wont let him bond himself out ( bond is $250 ) - somebody has to sign for him or there he will sit. He has been there since last night.... we were going to just let him sit but the bondsman said that they would probably move him to county jail because of the back log of cases due to the holidays and it may be weeks before he can go before the judge..... which would mean he would lose his job.....

One minute I just dont want to care- just let him sit there- he made a stupid decision- let him sit in jail and think about how stupid he is......

Then the next I'm crying and wanting to drive to Memphis.......


I dont know what to do..... but these kids are making me feel really OLD, really fast...... I have secret thoughts of just packing up and escaping to my magical place ..... I need more therapy.... You all didnt know that Mickey Mouse was my psychiatrist, did you? He has me on high doses of cheese cubes as my medication.... hince why I gained the 1 pound.... ( trying to hold on to my humor- please excuse if it wasnt funny )


Anybody want two kids? I'm worn out.

I promise I'm not a bad person - I just apparently have kids without brains.

oh, sparkie! we know you're not a bad parent. my dad raised two responsible, compassionate, well-rounded kids (me and my sister - is that tooting my own horn?) and then comes my brother - ALWAYS having money/life/girlfriend/life problems. so i feel your pain because i'm sort of like his second mom and i get to hear all about it too. it's funny - i'm usually the one that deals with him more than anyone.

i'm not an attorney but from what i know of the court system i would call the bondsman and see if there are any other options. i know that in georgia you have to own land in GEORGIA to bond someone out here. not sure about TN.

 

[dismom9761]

dismom, I stayed at 1200 with an every other week cheat night, and exercised a lot, and lost almost 60 lbs in about a year. Let it creep back on, which is another story, but 1200 worked for me. I am 5'8 and went from 218 to 160.

I have more to say but am too tired to post it. Faith, definitely bling, though, and Dawn, nice to "see" you.

Thanks for the response.I will stick with 1200 for now.

oh, i forgot to mention in the last post that i have not one, but TWO TRs going right now! they're both listed below in my signature under "current TRs." the september one features a real-life disappearing peep encounter! and i definitely need more peepage over on my TRs.

I will check it out ASAP,probably Sunday.

Oh I remember these recipes, they taste really good. I did the chocolate one. My question is how much batter do you put in a liner (cupcake)?

Great weight loss!I think about 3/4 full.

Would it be inappropriate to call you Grandma right now and laugh with you till we all bust a gut?? As long as we promise to hug you through this entire ordeal? And offer booze? Possibly Cheetos?

KIDS! I swear! I completely understand wanting to throttle them one minute and wanting to bail them out the next. GAH!

It's not a reflection of you that they have made their own darling ding bat decisions...WE know YOU rock!

 

[DisCanCan]

lauren - my best friend is a fitness trainer in a gym and so she gets this from new members a lot. take it from me: BE PROUD THAT YOU'RE THERE!!!!! you being in that gym is a lot more than most people can say. and if anyone looks at you with anything other than a good attitude then who cares - they're a jerk anyway. honestly most people are just focused on getting through their workout and if they're there for any other reason then they're flat-out losers in my opinion.

Thanks for the great advise!! I will use it tonight!

Sparkie: I don't talk much about it but youngest son, almost 28, is a real piece of work too. He's bipolar, refuses to take medication for more than a month at a time. He did his first suicide attempt at 12, he's got a felony no contest for domestic violence 5 years ago, a DUI 2 years ago, he was addicted to crack at 17 (clean now), his been in a mental hospital on 5 different occasions when the manic just gets so bad he can't handle it. He's had money problems out the wazoo and we have bailed him out of financial situations many times. He's also totalled 5 automobiles in 10 years. He works sporadically but is very unreliable. I have no hope left that things will ever change for him or for me and in the back of my mind, I always expect something worse is going to happen. I think that's why I handle my cancer so well; life has already toughened me up.

It's totally okay to feel sorry for yourself. Life is not fair. I've always been very private about my son, I have no relationship with my family (parents/siblings) because of their opinions (they felt my liberal beliefs led to his problems) and my husband is not his bio father so I have always felt that I carry this burden alone.

All you can do is continue to be the best parent you can be, even when the load drags you down. I go to bed many nights crying but at least I am comforted by knowing I've done all I can.

 

[pixie dust 112]

I had a long post written and it disappeared. So here is the short version

Love and Hugs to Sparkie and Littlebopeep!

Welcome home to all the peeps that have been missing. Glad you didn't actually disappear!

I am -1.4.

 

[Kathi OD]

Ha, silly girl, you pushed the 2 twice on accident.... JK, What a GREAT day for you! Really! I'm honestly happy and relieved you are recovering nicely. And you realize, you are the thread's biggest loser....EVER!

Don't answer this, but my twisted mind is trying to guess the girlie-surgery you might have had causing you to be relieved of 22 pounds...I'm guessing since you didn't offer to donate the "extra" mammary to MY cause, you had a limb amputated, a siamese twin removed from your left side , got one heck of a hair cut plus body wax, an ovarian cyst the size of a Volkswagon Beetle, or "other".

They took out "ALL" the girlie plumbing....including the blood-saturated uterus. Evidently it was all that blood the uterus decided it needed to hang onto that was so freakin' heavy. But now that it's gone.... what do I use as an excuse??? I mean I don't have that in my legs....

Now for the FEMALE PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:

While I know lots of you are young and nowhere near this point in your life, put this piece of information in the back of your mind..........

If you ever have post-menopausal downstairs bleeding (they bleep out the real word), even just a little bit, get yourself to they gyno ASAP. The life you save just might be your own!

Did I post my results yet today?
Aaron- put me down for -2 for the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. 4 more!

2 for one week sounds good to me. I doubt that from here on in I'll be losing even that much.

I'm hoping for 5 more between now and Feb. 14th.

Well, I'm definitely not an attorney, but I am the parent of 3 grown kids, so I think that kinda makes me an authority on kid stupidity. Let's put first things first, Sparkie, you definitely don't sound like some redneck mama to me. More like a normal one, more normal than most people (especially here on the DIS - where everyone has the perfect life) are willing to admit. It's amazing how kids can be so freakin' stupid sometimes. How in God's name did we all manage to become adults?

I also understand the family giving you a hard time about your child-rearing. My parents always told me I was much too lenient with my kids. Now they are eating their words, but it took a long time to get there because all 3 of them did stupid, really stupid, things along the way. On Christmas, I actually heard my mother tell my niece that she should ask my DD for advice!!

Somehow you'll get through it, and so will your kids. There is only so much you can do for them and then they have to take responsibility for themselves. It will all work out in the end. Just breathe deep and come vent to us. We have broad shoulders and can support you when you need it.

No attorney just another Mom and someones daughter without a brain (once). Heres the best I got......ok so your son is under the age of 30 making dumb mistakes or I would rather refer to as some of life's unpleasant lessons! Thankfully he is getting this out of his blood now before he is married wtih children, in his 50's running around town making a fool of himself and running out on his wife and children to be "young" again (as his cheesy hairpiece flaps in the wind!).

The men and women who live larger than life in their youth have no regrets when they NEED to be Adults! How many women do we know that go and cougar around and try to get their thrills they missed in their youth!

SO coming from one gal who kept her father up sick with worry I did outgrow it! Now many women and men my age are trying to get their "20s" back. At the expense of children and spouses. I have no desire, I lived large in the 80's big hair and crazy nights no need to fulfill anything but my lap that my grandkids will have a warm seat on. I will keep all our children in prayer and just remember, it is painful but a parent can handle things little children can't. Our love is truly uncondtional and knows no bounds. My prayers are with the family and Mom's well we know we need the most!

My prayer for me: Oh God please don't let my son be half the rebel I was! Calgon take me away. Now I understand why my Dad refered to the mental hospital as the "country club he hoped to join!".

Now I'm worried. I was a GOOD girl. Had a few wild experiences in the age range of 18-20, but nothing too-too hideous. I've never even been around drugs and really didn't drink or anything.


YES, on the Calgon comment. Calgon RULES! Or, maybe it has something to do with bath time being the ONLY me-time I get other than going potty Hmmmm.


Oh, Peeps, get THIS: I forgot (FORGOT!!!!) to eat dinner tonight. ME!
So I just stuffed a rolled up wad of deli meat (NOT Carl Buddig pressed "meat") into my mouth and called it good.

 

[punkin413]

you guys are scaring me! ray and i are thinking of starting a family this year and now i'm having second thoughts. just kidding! i have a troublesome brother and if he's never deterred me, nothing will!!!!

wendy - what's with the gator in your signature? didn't you just have utah there? did you lose a bet or something?

It's my sick, twisted sense of humor. I HAD a Utah Ute in my siggie, back when they were undefeated (oh, wait, they still are ) and won the Sugar Bowl, but then the Gators (who lost ONE) are magically NUMBER ONE.

I don't know much about sports at all (I try, but my eyes tend to glaze over) but something STINKS about the whole thing. Stinks I tell ya!

(are you sorry you asked? )

Would you like me to play the clip of Norah's famous (Birth Control) airplane tantrum of '06? Just kidding, babies ROCK, even if they grow up to cause us to over eat and give us gray hairs and become dependent on Calgon baths and Double Stuft Oreos. It's a love like no other.

LOL!

I am soooo going to bed now. Must stop being distracted by shiny things...

 

[punkin413]

[dwheatl]

Waiting for your BIG numbers, lady.



I DO have pretty "unmentionables" ...which make me FEEL pretty and sexy etc. which I highly, HIGHLY recommend we all do! On the outside, I'm a frumpy mom. Underneath the jeans and lycra layered t-shirts, I have this whole secret sexy thang going on. Makes a HUGE difference in my whole attitude. I'm anti-packaged Hane's Her Way/ Jockey for Her, etc.

PM me for my name. I have to see your amazing bum shot!

I didn't see a way to pm you. Help, please.
I do go with the Hanes/Jockey undies for health reasons, but since joining the gym, I feel pretty good about what's under my undies lately, if you know what I mean. DH and I had a date night tonight, though, so I did wear my Princess Leia bra. It's gold and lacy (like Leia wears when she's Jabba's slave) and looks fabulous under a sweater. So I can't say I have no nice things. I just don't wear them too often.

Sorry it has been a long time since I posted on here. Life seemed to have gotten in the way & I thought that the new year would be a great time to get back on track & start a fresh. I have a question does anyone else feel intimated about starting & going to a new gym?? And if so any pointers on how to get over it. Thanks for all the help

Glad you are back. There are so many newbies at the gym right now, you will not stand out like a sore thumb. Just watch out for the flying off the treadmill-type accident. People do tend to stare at those.

Where are my attorney peeps?

I swear my kids are trying to kill me. I am going to sound like some redneck, hillbilly mama, who dont know how to raise kids but here goes.....

I have 2 creases in my forehead. I named them after my DS and DD. Like marriage, motherhood brings us the biggest highs and lows in life. We have such high expectations, and sometimes the people we love really let us down. The only alternative, though, is to live a life without love, and that would be so empty. I don't have any great advice for you (I'd want to let him sit and stew, but finding another job in this economy is so tough, so I don't know what I'd do either). We're here for you, we're praying for you, and not one of us judges you. I just wish I could send you one of these:

 

[Disneyfreak92]

I'll be back later to catch up, but right now I wanted to post my weigh in late, but before I go work out. I am just saying I am at 204.6 right now. That is down from last week by about a pound I think. But all in all, I've gained about 10 since before Thanksgiving. So for the Valentine's Day challenge, Aaron can you put me down for losing 10? Hope everyone had a great weigh in!

 

[the Fidge]

Now I'm worried. I was a GOOD girl. Had a few wild experiences in the age range of 18-20, but nothing too-too hideous.

Would you be infering that I was a bad girl??? THey write songs about us WHat a shoe collection I had to go out dancing with. Now I have plenty of sneakers??

Had a great night went grocery shopping list in hand with all smart choices! I made a wonderful dinner and feel this week will be very productive. DS and I went out walking last night in our snowboots??? I think sand would be better to walk in for calorie burning don't you??

Happy Saturday
