Girls Only Trip ~ OLD Thread, see link in first post for new one

[mommaU4]

Hello all!!

Janelle, sounds like a nice time you had!

Deb, laundry does breed overnight. I'm convinced of that.

Cheryl, sounds like a nice time for you and your mom.

Courtney, I think telling your boss is the right thing. I hate slackers in the workplace.

Linda, sounds like you are going to be busy these coming weekends. But you've got some fun things planned.

Stacie, cute tees! Love Heather's design.

Steph, glad you are feeling a bit better and I hope you continue to improve so you are 100% for your trip.



I'm just popping in to say good night. I'm tired. Gonna watch AR and hopefully go to bed early. Night!

Since a lot of you saw this on FB already I will go ahead and let you guys know what is going on since you guys ARE my friends even though Shane said I had no "REAL" friends only fake ones on the internet! But anyway things have been bad with us for years but I just didn't want to say anything. I know I burdended you guys enough with my crap about Lynn but the fact of the matter is it has been VERY stressful between her and I and what I DIDN'T tell you guys is that I had a break down in Jan because of it and ended up in a mental health facility. Now Shane is trying to USE that against me to take my kids away from me.

He and I have been fighting ALL weekend and so I made the MISTAKE of giving him the password to our checking account which is JOINT and he changed the password and locked me out of it! That infuriated me because before this he told me he wanted to try and "work things out" but I am WAY beyond this! It is too long to go into on here and honestly I don't won't to burden you guys with anymore bs. But it went to an all time low tonight because when I found out about the bank I told him on the phone to not bother coming home and he said I couldn't stop him. I called the police because 7 years ago he strangled me and almost killed me. I was afraid for my safety and the stupid police said that I couldn't call them until he was THERE and causing a problem. I was like ok GREAT I will wait till after he has beaten me to a pulp and then PRAY he hasn't busted my phone like the LAST time! I only wish I hadn't let my parents not press charges against him!

Anyway so he comes over and my friend is SITTING here and then he tries to stir up crap by having his friends call and talk about a lawyer taking the girls and I lost it. I got po'd and started yelling at him to get out and so he calls them cops and LIES and tells them that I am hitting him and all this crap. I said boy do you stoop to a low level. Now you are making crap up so you can try to USE it against me! Fine. Good thing my friend was here and saw the whole thing! So the cops came and I talked to them and they obviously saw MY side of it but unfortunately he took the girls and there was nothing I could do about it. He is at my mom's and CLAIMS they gave persmission and I have been trying for HOURS to get ahold of them in Mexico which of course I can't.

All I know is if they took his side and let him stay there I am NOT going to be happy with them especially after he was absuive!

But anyway that is enough for now. I will try not to burden you guys with all thise but I wanted to give you a heads up. Thanks for listening.

Kelly...I just want to give you a big hug. I am so sorry all this is going on right now. I will be praying for you. You know how close I am so if you need anything or to just talk please know I'm here.

 

[BC Disney Lover]

Kelly, I'm so sorry to hear about what you're going through. Stay strong! Don't worry about being a burden, listening is what friends are for

 

[lulubelle]

OMG Kelly, I don't know what to say. Except you must get your girls back and stay safe. You do have friends here, please know that. I am so sorry.

 

[prettyprincessbelle]

Kelly, I am so sorry. Please stay safe. We are all here for you.

 

[21yankees]

Kelly, I'm keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

steph

 

[cccdisney]

Lots of prayers coming your way Kelly.

 

[BillyFan]

Laurie--does Mike get any benefits from Safeway? Like medical insurance? You need to factor that in too. Plus is there a chance that he can move up to journeyman after a while?

Good point, Cheryl.

Wow, I had such a busy weekend, but got so much accomplished!

The pressure was on to finish my Christmas shopping as I will be out of town the next two weekends and during the week all I can do is work, make dinner, watch a show or two, Diz and sleep. So, I shopped ALL DAY on Sat and today we wrapped everything, went grocery shopping and am finishing laundry. Oh, and I also got all 27 Christmas cards out today plus a few for family. I am exhausted but very proud of myself.

I cannot wait for to spend next weekend at PP and DL. Breezy & I are doing the holiday tour and Sunday the three of us are eating at the Chef's table at Napa Rose. I just love all the decorations and the ambiance all over the hotels and parks.

Well, we are about to eat dinner (Taco Pie, yummm) and watch 60 minutes and AR. TTFN!

Mmmmmmmm, I love Napa Rose!

Not really, just house stuff!!! Boring!!!



Of course you have to go back, how about this weekend??

Our MouseAdventure team made shirts that we're submitting tomorrow for a contest, here is Allyson's shirt, since she's the cute skinny one that will model for the picture I submit:

Now I just have to get the other 3 done before Friday!!! I HATE ironing, with a passion!! Should have had Heather do it! But she made the design, it's so cute!!

I love the shirt! You'll definitely win!

Just a quick hello to my fellow divas!

Been a very busy weekend around here. Yesterday Ayden was in a parade for his school. Very fun and very cute!

Today we got our Christmas tree. We didn't decorate it yet...I'll be lucky if I get lights on it by tomorrow night when Ayden gets back from his dads.

This afternoon we went to a tree farm in Dixon...about 30 minutes away from us. This place is so much fun. They have 8 ATV's all hooked together and the driver leads everyone through the tree farm and orchards. This year Ayden was big enough to ride his own so he had a blast! I posted some pictures of it on my Facebook. They also have a really good lookin Santa that pulls a sleigh through the farm. There's a firepit surrounded by chairs and they give you free hot cider and popcorn. Chris and his family went every year as he grew up. He took Ayden and I there our first Holiday together when we were dating and have made it a tradition every year since.

Oh and..............believe it or not...we are supposed to wake up to SNOW tomorrow morning!!!! It has not snowed here since I was a kid. I've only seen it twice in my life in Sacramento. It was in the mid 20's last night and the snow level is supposed to be at sea level by morning. KELLY..I hope you're ready!!! LOL Ayden is beyond excited! Chris is going to set his alarm when they say it's supposed to start tonight and if it does...I'm going to wake up Ayden to see it. Call me crazy but it's VERY exciting around here if we get snow!

Hope you all had a great weekend.

Wow, I hope it snows for you! The last time is snowed in San Jose was 1976, and I was 4 years old. But I totally remember it! My aunt came over with A&W for lunch.

Aw, Kelly. Like I said on FB, I'm here for you. I had no idea things were so bad for you two. Please take care of yourself and your girls. I'm sure they're safe with Shane, but I know it is scary for you. Big hugs to you, Kelly.
And about the whole friend thing, after everything so many of us have been thru lately, I think we all know who our friends are.
Take care.



And Courtney--I think it is right of you to go to your boss. I would want to know if I was her.

Well good night girls. I'll catch you in the morning.

Wow, Kelly! I am so sorry you are going thru all this. That is quite a story and to tell you the truth I'm concerned for your safety as well as the girls. Please stay safe and do what you need to for them. I wish I had helpful ideas but I do not at all

 

[karylrocks]

Kelly, I am so sorry you are going through all that! I could tell that things are stressful for you but did not know it was so bad. Your girls are the bright spot in your life and I know how you need them. I will be praying for you.

Now I just have to get the other 3 done before Friday!!! I HATE ironing, with a passion!! Should have had Heather do it! But she made the design, it's so cute!!

I love your shirts! I was thinking about trying to make some but we decided to just wear shirts we already have.

Super cute tee, Stacie. Are all the Diva MA participants meeting up somewhere before or after the game on Sat? I would love to sneak in and say hi.

We have not made a plan to meet. Is anyone else interested in meeting up? I have ressies for Lilo & Stitch Saturday morning and Jazz Kitchen Saturday night, but maybe we could meet sometime on Sunday?

Today we got our Christmas tree. We didn't decorate it yet...I'll be lucky if I get lights on it by tomorrow night when Ayden gets back from his dads.

We got our tree today, too. I am thinking that we might come home to snow after next weekend and last year when that happened no one went anywhere for several days and I didn't want to end up without a tree or getting one at the last minute. I just have mine sitting in a pan of water and we will put it up when we get back from our trip.

 

[WebmasterMaryJo]

Hi everyone,

Looks like you all had pretty busy weekends. Mine was okay. We got our tree today, and will decorate it during the week. Kelly will probably do most of it as she is home most of the day, and likes to take her time to do a nice job.

I'm happy at my job right now. Got a really nice review from my boss, which is a big change from this time last year. I'm lucky.

Those of you on MouseAdventure this weekend, have a wonderful time! The t-shirt design looks great. You are really talented.

Kelly, I read about your ordeal on FB, and am so sorry you are going through such a hard time right now. We ARE your friends and are here for you.

 

[grumpyvet]

Well, too much has gone on for me to get it all straight...but I just wanted to say ....I am so sorry Kelly for the anguish you are going through now. I would be frantic if my DH left the house in anger with my DD...heck with him...I'd want the kiddo back.

I had a busy weekend. My DD and I got up at 4:30 AM, got to DL right after 6AM for the AP sale at WOD.

It kind of sucked...but we had fun. Not much of what I wanted was reduced, got some pins for trading, some antenna balls as gifts and a few not on slae ornaments. We both got the free gift which was a vinylmation from the clear series (thanx Donna for that info).

It was a blast just doing it though. My DD ran out of steam and there were some tears in line waiting to pay. (a bit over an hour wait. They should have set us some temporary registers). A trip over to Goofy's candy and the illicet opening of some sour green apple candy BEFORE we even paid for it dried those tears sppedy quick!!

Then we drove back to San DIego for a very chilly event at a local park, Betheleham Village, put on by the church associated with my DD's school.

Today I had my work thing. I didn't go to the dinner due to family obligations, but my new boss is a huge huge fan of musical theater, so we went to a new musical based on Bonnie and CLyde. It was really amazing, sets, talent, new score and all. Apparently there are already rumblings of it going to Broadway in 2011. However...I have so much Ohio in me...I was horrified by all of the unnecessary [edit]. Now the young lad playing CLyde had a body to die for....but did I need to see his naked tushie up on the stage? I think not. I am glad that I didn't bring my DD9, the boss had his kids 7, 11, but they go to a lot of theater.

Quite frankly, I think I am a prude...a bit.

Work tomorrow, how sad.

Amy Sue

 

[kelmac284]

Thank you again to all who responded. I will be honest I AM a bit frightened for my safety. I am getting the locks changed on the house because he refused to give me the key and since my parents are out of town I am all alone. I don't want to know that he can come and just get in and I can't lock him out!

I am also going to the court tomorrow to see what I can get accomplished as far as custody and a TRO. I am not going to be stupid about it. Then I have the lovely task of trying to find a good lawyer and a job! Needless to say the lawyer I had in my last divorce did NOT look after my best interests!

But I am so grateful to have all of you as friends and that is the important thing, despite what Shane may think! I appreciate you all and am so glad you are my friends! Thanks again!

Kelly, I'm so sorry to hear this and I'm praying incessantly for you and your girls.

I think after the judge digs into Shane's past they'll see that you are the ONLY option for the girls' custody. You have never put them in any danger but have cared for their every physical, emotional and spiritual need. I don't know much about this sort of thing but I think going around getting character statements from anyone who knows you at church and your family would be a good idea.

 

[kelmac284]

Thanks Cristabel. When the police came tonight they said they didn't find a record on Shane OR I which is amazing since he has a FELONY!!! But the bad thing is by my parents not letting me press charges when he attempted my life in 2002 I don't have a police record. I may be able to subpoena the counselor we went to though cuz of course he will deny and lie about it so it will be his word against mine until I can PROVE it. But the good things is when Lynn ran away he had an "incident" with her and CPS was called. I found ALL the paperwork on that where he was ordered to go to anger management and parenting classes and he NEVER did it! So not only does he have a report against him for abuse of his DAUGHTER but he NEVER did what he was ordered to do! So hopefully that will help.

I just can't believe he is stooping so low as to use a mental break down I had against me to try and say I am unstable. And then to try and LIE to the police and say I did ANYTHING to him is ludicrous and esp since my friend was sitting RIGHT there! He was just HOPING he would make me angry enough to do something but the difference is I am NOT like him. I don't result to violence. Sure I may get angry and scream and throw stuff around but I have never touched him OR the girls EVER! And for him to try and pull that is incredibly LOW!

Then he just drove up and it is midnight! I told him to get out of here or I was calling the police. He said he was just coming to pick me up so I could go stay at my moms so I would be there when they woke up. I was like yeah RIGHT. I am not going ANYWHERE with you!

 

[WebmasterMaryJo]

Kelly, so he left the girls alone at your moms when he went back to the house?

Take care, and I worry for the girls, too.

 

[disney-super-mom]

Oh Kelly babe, that sounds awful! I'm so sorry that you're going through all this and I wish I was closer so I could be there for you. I'm keeping you and your girls in my thoughts and prayers.

 

[kelmac284]

I assume so. I didn't let him in. He called on the phone cuz it was so late and obviously he knows I am not going to let him in the house! But I thought the same thing. He just left them there alone while he drove over here cuz I guarantee they were asleep.

I am worried as well but we shall see what happens with the courts because unfortunately until he actually DOES something there is nothing I can do! SUCKS!

 

[kelmac284]

Thanks Capri. I wish some of you guys lived closer too because it is times like these when you really realize just how ALONE you really are. I do have my neighbor and although we haven't always been on good terms I know if I really need her she will be there and her sister and her husband live there as well. They know ALL about this because her dh of 16 years just up and left her although there were no kids involved or anything but they have had to help her!

This is the problem with being so close with my parents and Shane and I always just keeping to ourselves because now my parents are gone and I am kind of on my own. I didn't get ANY sleep last night. I was up till 2 and then I tried to lay down but every little noise woke me up cuz I was afraid he was coming in to do something plus it is snowing here and my power kept flickering off and on. I ended up getting back up at 4:30!
