Jay-nee's journal

Sorry to hear you did not have the support of your mother during the trying times. My parents were very supportive during my lousy marriage and were very happy when I told them I had filed for divorce.

It seems the only time men want their children at their beck and call is after they have ruined any relationship they had. My ex never paid any attention to the 19 yr old until he moved out. He then figured she should cater to his whims after the separation and divorce like he was the world's greatest father. He doesn't seem to understand she is old enough to determine on her own if she wants to spend time with him.

Hang in there. It will get better. It seems at times that it is oppressive, but keep you chin up and look at the positive side of him being gone.

Have a great week.
 
Hi - I am new to your journal! Sorry to hear about everything that is going on, but you sound much better off and you have a great attitude! Your kids are extremely lucky to have someone that thinks of them they way you do!!

Hope you have a great week coming up!
 
Just stopping in to say hello.

Hope you have a good day with your kids. Drink lots of water and try to exercise.
 
Jay-nee, sounds like you are still reeling as you figure out things from the seminar. Be good to yourself and do what is right for you and the kids. That is the priority! It sounds really tough right now as you process stuff. I don't know the details of your situation, but we all play these crazy games where we put ourselves in roles with our family. Sometimse we misread the signals that we are getting. If you are upset about the situation with your mom, talk to her and explain to her how you are feeling.
Don't let all this garbage/stress sabotage your weight loss. Do what is right for you, and the kids. That is your priority. I'm glad you are receiving the help you need.
Be good to yourself.
 

Jaynee, I'm so sorry you are going thru such a difficult time. I hope you get thru this & onto the healing phase soon. Its great that you are focusing on your children. Hang in there!
 
Jay-nee, I know you're struggling a bit now, but from what you wrote, it sounds like you've had one of those "A-HA!" moments that give you the ability to re-focus and re-gain control. In other words, you're sounding strong, confident, and grateful for what you have...the personification of grace. Congratulations. :)
 
Just wanted to say I hope you're having a good day!

Keep on :banana: :banana:

kids and puppy are not... :sad1: I was kind of looking forward to the "break," but not now... I can't even sleep. I freakin' have 1 eye open all the time. I miss the kids and ended up getting about 3 hours of sleep. Plus, I'm used to having the dog let me know if someone pulls into the driveway, etc. Too wierd --- this happened back in Feb, but I really thought I was beyond that.

So, I'm beat now and now I have to get ready for work. Not a fun day ahead (tired), but thankfully today is our team offsite. Now I am dreading it. Too many skeletons... I hope I can turn that around today before we head out of the office at lunchtime.

I did finish watching The Notebook, a very nice story. I also watched most of Catch Me If You Can, that's okay, not great though. I'll stop at the library on the way home this evening and pick up something else for tonight.

Well, I'm trying to enjoy my "break." But this is a learning... The great thing is that I'll be thrilled to see the kids tomorrow afternoon (like that was ever a problem, eh?).

I am going to try and take a bike ride this morning in place of standard morning dog walk though, that might challenge the pysche a bit!

BTW, thanks to all who have drop by my journal lately... Chris, Christin, calena, Kathy, lillygator, Sunny, and Jenn too.

Happy Wednesday! :sunny:
 
Sorry you haven't gotten much sleep with the kids and dog gone. Hopefully you'll get some good sleep tonight - tomorrow will come soon!!!!!

Keep on :banana: :banana:

I slept like a baby last night. But, I'm still soooooo tired this morning! But, I'm up and getting ready for work.

I had a lousy time with the team offsite, it was so hot and alot of folks were complaining. This team is not a "fun" team. Honestly, I can't really figure out what makes them tick... Oh well, it's PT and I can deal with it for that amount of time. But, I tried to have fun, at least! ;)

So, carpe diem! I have to finish getting ready and be on time today! yikes...

Happy Thursday all! :sunny: :sunny: :sunny:
 
Glad you were able to get a good sleep - that makes all the difference in the world!!!!

Keep on :banana: :banana:

I only have a few minutes... Sorry!

I just got back from my DMs on Sunday night and things have been insane since... I need to get things caught up, but I'll be back soon, I promise!

Happy Tuesday all! My WI today is...148.5 lbs! Not bad considering it's my TOM, argh!

:sunny: :sunny: :sunny:
 
How are you? Hope things are well. When does school start? Glad your weight is doing well. I wish I was at 148! :flower:
 
Good job on the scale!!!! That is great - sorry things have been insane - hope they get better soon!!!!!

Keep on :banana: :banana:

How is everyone?

Thank you to calena, Chris, Sunny, and Jen too for stopping by my journal during my hiatus!

Things are crazy busy, not bad, just crazy!

I'm doing fine, kids are GREAT! Life is pretty good for the moment.

I've been mostly hanging around the budget boards lately - lots of interesting discussions about finances, etc - very important to me currently given my situation.

Well, just wanted to stop by and let you all know I'm ok and have been around, just in another room (sorry!).

Hope everyone is ok. I will try and check in more often. There are so many new folks around WISH, I don't even recognize most of the name anymore. Funny how the crowd changes so quickly! It's a good thing I suppose - new blood. :flower:

My weight is great and I am still off and on with my exercise, but it's all good!

:grouphug: to all! Happy Tuesday! :sunny: :sunny:
