Looking For Control Freaks & Worry Warts too........ Part 2

[karajeboo]

OK, Debbie, what's up with my siggie???? Why is it cutting off like that? You are the master of this - I am putting the fate of my siggie in your hands!

 

[Camster0307]

OK, "my therapist says...." sounds like a new game to play!

Ooh - I love that game! You do what you need to do to feel better because, as the old saying goes - "If momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!"

And don't worry about your house being "perfect". What's perfect anyway? I had a neighbor whose house was immaculate - kids were miserable though. I'd rather have a crazy house and happy kids, then vice versa!

Can you even believe that my weather ticker says "light ice pellets"
Are you kidding me?????

Ice pellets? WTH?? Debbie - you need to have a ticker!

 

[Camster0307]

You guys keep talking about the "hold music" and that's pretty much what you can get from that LIVE365! You have to try it! I hear park music, WDW resort music, rides, the shows you hear on your hotel TV, etc....I love it!!!

Ok, I'm responding to this post because I haven't gotten to the others yet - can you post the link to this website? I lost it when my computer crashed last month. I agree - it certainly puts me in the mood!

 

[karajeboo]

OK, I got rid of the family pic - guess it really was getting as cluttered as my house!

Thanx, Cammie, you're right! And everyone in this house knows that momma ain't been happy lately. My Jenny Craig counselor tonight even asked me if I had a good counselor. She said I seemed so on edge! Wow, I had no idea I was coming across that way! DH is weird about it all though. One minute he is totally supportive, and the next he is telling me there is nothing wrong with me. What?????

Good night - hope you chat with y'all tomorrow night - same Dis time, same Dis channel! For those of you too young to remember..... nananananananana BATMAN!!!!! OK, maybe it's good that I'm in therapy now - my mind is racing a mile a minute!

I'm so far behind in catching up with posts!

First order of business though - Debbie - we're going to be locked at 250 pages, right? Who does this? I think we'll have to start a new thread and put a link in it to the old thread.

Drunk posting - tomorrow. Eastern time for me, Kara, Jillian, & Renee(?) - 9pm; central time - Debbie and Laura - 8pm; Tammie - 6pm; Erin & Tessa - 3 am? Anybody else joining in?

Heading to bed now; too tired to catch up. Hope we all can connect tomorrow. Good night ladies!

The great Moderator will close us out. Whoever sees it first can start a new thread with the same name (almost), and post a link back to the original. Then our Moderator will go in and post a link to the new thread on the old one for us so people can find us!


I'll be there with you if my Arbonne party gets cancelled. I don't know - the hostess is a high school student who already cancelled 2 weeks ago because of some drama between friends. I don't get girls too well - guess I'll have to learn

I'm thankful though, I could be working 9 to 5 for someone who doesn't appreciate me and with a bunch of back-stabbing, phony women - instead of working with my friends and having time to talk with my DIS friends!

Too funny!

Good morning!

Well, it's not snowing here like had originally been forecast; just pouring rain. Very gloomy day today. TGIF though.

Dealing with a dilemna in our house involving my ex. He wants to take my girls away for part of their April break. No place fun though; wants to take them to Michigan to visit with his new wife's family to celebrate Passover. They are Jewish; we are not. Also, the new wife just has nephews - all under the age of 8. My younger DD DOES NOT want to go and I can't really blame her. There's just nothing appealing about this trip to her at all and she still struggles with the whole concept of this new "step-family" she barely knows. IMO - this isn't the way for my girls to get to know them all, but I can't tell the ex that he can't take his daughters away for a few days.

And, if they do go, I'm going to need to be medicated. I can't stand the idea of my girls getting on a plane without me. Whenever we travel together, I always think, god forbid, if something happens, at least we're all together. Now they'll be flying somewhere w/out me - I'm putting up a good front for now; but I will be very sad and worried the day they leave.

I hate this situation! Thanks for listening; I'm going to the gym to work off some frustration.

Cammie - I feel for you! I'm not gonna pretend that "it's all okay" because I would be worried, too. Especially since your girls don't really want to go. I know it's important that they spend time with their dad, and I guess it's also important that they get to know and love his new family, too. But you're in a really tight spot. From what I "know" of you though, you seem really strong and smart and you'll figure out the best solution for everyone. And if they do go away for a few days, just keep busy and focus on YOU! Facial, massage, mani & pedi, shopping..... ahhhh! Makes me want to send DH and DD away for awhile! Seriously though, just make the best of whatever may come. I'm sure you'll do what's best and you'll be positive about it no matter what. And of course we're all here so when you want to yell, vent, cry, whatever, we'll be listening!

I really feel for you!!!! I would feel exactly the same and the loss of control would send me sky rocketing!!! Vent away and smart of you to go exercise!

I'll get ready to start up a new one but I always wondered if we were in the right place at the Family forum. Should we move to the community forum or would people like Sewer and Keahi never find us again???? Thoughts?

Great advice!!! ITA!

My timer went off...Dis time over....gotta go....................

I will definitely shoot for tonight at 8 but now I am going to DDs school for a luau and might not be back until later then 8.

Hi girls i am early but will be back later ... I think if laura is at 8 then i am at 1 a.m and will probably still be up then .. so catch you all later

 

[Debbie6221]

Did everyone get my email with the Live365 link?

 

[Camster0307]

Thanks Kara & Debbie. I know you're both right. It's the anticipation of the them being away that gets me all teary; but I know once they've left, I will probably enjoy the "me" time. And you hit the nail right on the head, Debbie, about that "loss of control" feeling I got immediately after my ex told me what he wanted to do. I know it's not healthy to feel that way - I am getting better about it! Now, I have to figure out what I'm going to do with myself! That mani, pedi, and massage sounded good, Kara!

I'll get ready to start up a new one but I always wondered if we were in the right place at the Family forum. Should we move to the community forum or would people like Sewer and Keahi never find us again???? Thoughts?

I don't want to offend anybody ..... but there are some crazy people over on that community board! I know we're pretty crazy here, but I've seen worse over there! I like us here in the Disney for Families board: we're all moms and I think the family board is where other new moms would find us easier. Besides, we'd go two hours without someone posting here, and our thread would wind up on page 4 on the community board. Just too much going on over there. But I would follow wherever you lead us, Debbie! JMHO.

Erin - Aren't you six hours AHEAD of Eastern Standard Time? Or is it 4?

 

[Camster0307]

Did everyone get my email with the Live365 link?

Yes, I meant to thank you for that. I do have some questions though (of course, because I'm clueless when it comes to the computer). Have to run out now, but I'll post them when I get back.

Thanks!

 

[DizzyErin]

Erin - Aren't you six hours AHEAD of Eastern Standard Time? Or is it 4?

Ok right now your clock says 12.05 and it is 4.05 here .. our clocks haven't gone forward yet so i think thats why am only 4 hours ahead

 

[CRdisMom]

Erin - Aren't you six hours AHEAD of Eastern Standard Time? Or is it 4?

Time zones have me all messed up. If I counted right, London is 5 hours ahead of Minneapolis. I'll do my best to be here. I am hoping the call volume is low enough that I can sneak on a little bit more than my break

Cammie- I'm sorry about the travel trouble. I would agree the loss of control of my girls would do me in. DH takes girls to cabin in WI for weekends with in-laws. I have to stay back and work. Drives me nuts. Kara's suggestion of me time is really the only thing that stops me from worrying. We'll be here while you figure it out.

I don't think this week has gotten any better. We all had one of those days on Monday. Now I forgot to take out the garbage cans and the trash man has already come by. Yeah another week with stinky diapers. I hate to say it but at least it won't be warming up so I can really smell them when we are outside.

Ok i am 5 hours ahead of Laura and 4 hours ahead of Cammie and Kara well until sunday hahahhaa when our clocks go forward an hour

If only i could figure out how to put the weather thing in my siggie i would so then everyone could tell
