Don't know if I can type. My hands are frozen from washing the Pathfinder. Brrrrr.

Wow, Lori and then Barb. Nice one!

Julie, I didn't even doubt that you guys would have some good laughs. You always have some great stories to tell soooo......Denine wanna tell us about it??? LOL

Barb, I bet you are sooo excited about Jaymee and Louis coming for Thanksgiving. Loved reading the report about Amanda. It doesn't seem like a whole year already. Glad she is doing better. Heidi and I will be out Black Friday as well. Not sure if I will buy but I will be out.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BARB!!!​

 

[Schrolls]

Happy Birthday, Barb!! Love ya and hope you had a terrific day!

Now my latest update:

Dad's cancer is only partially responding to the chemo so he gave Dad the choice of stopping all treatment or try another type of chemo. The side effects have been really bad lately, lots of nasuea. The pain is real bad in his head and collarbone. They are trying to get a better handle on the pain. My Dad was a little resistant to hard drugs for pain but the oncologist told him he has to stop that mindset and not let the pain set in or it will be hard to get it to respond. The dr also told us that the chemo did buy us time for the holidays but not to expect much more than that especially if he does not do well with this next type of chemo. Please continue to keep us all in your prayers, especially my Dad for comfort.



Glad to see Lori post. Wondered if she was still around.

Sounds like Denine and Julie had a great dinner. I really hope I get to see them in 2 weeks when we go to Cleveland.

Enough from me for now. I promise to post more this week. My dr gave me some happy pills to help me cope a little better. Maybe I'll be more chatty now.

Love you guys!!

Just got back from my birthday dinner and thought I would read the board real quick before I watch Amazing Race.

Thank you so much for the happy birthdays. I was kind of down today because I thought you guys forgot. Julie wished me a happy birthday on Facebook at Odarkthirty this morning. I cant tell you how much it meant to me to see you guys remember me .

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Susan, I am so sorry about your dad. All of you remain in our prayers. I feel so bad for him and you guys with the holidays approaching. I am so glad that you have "happy pills" to help you cope!!!!

Barb, I must say that it was JULIE that was the first to remember. I kept telling myself last night to remember to post it but guess what....my brain is a tad forgetful now. LOL Hope you had a very special day.

Love you all!

 

[Mickey02]

Good Morning!

Susan-My heart goes out to your dealing with your father. How heartbreaking to have to stand by and watch him in pain. I will keep you all in my prayers.

Back at work for another short week. I feel even better this week then last. Spent all weekend cleaning.

Didnt sleep at all on Saturday night. Went to bed at 1:30 then back up before 3:00. I was on the computer when Julie posted Happy Birthday. Goodness girl what were you doing up that early on a Sunday?? Thanks again for all your Happy Birthday wishes. It really meant a lot to me. Bob took me to Red Lobster last night. Missy and the kids were there. Amanda and Chad and Pat and Lee. It was a nice evening.

Heidi-Hope you are feeling better. Did your weekend get any better?

Good morning!

Barb - Happy Belated Birthday. I posted on facebook but didn't get on here. I really didn't want to be on the computer. After everything that happened I just didn't want to do anything but curl up with my blanket and watch TV. I was just done with everything this weekend. Sounds like you had a nice birthday dinner. I love Red Lobster but Chris doesn't like it so I rarely get it. Glad you are feeling better in time for Thanksgiving, I hope you have the best day ever especially since Jaymee will be there.

Susan - I am so sorry about the news on your dad. We are all hear for you. Please know I will keep you all in my prayers. I hope the Happy pills will help you out. Lots and lots of hugs to you.

Julie - Thanks so much for doing the secret santa again. Glad you had a nice dinner. So tell us all about the dinner!

Denine - I am frustrated too with working out because I am on my 6th week of working out and have lost a big fat ZERO. It sucks but keep thinking positive and don't let it get you down.

Hi Lori. We are all addicted to the facebook games too!

My favorite Character is Tinkerbell, but I still like Pooh too. I am with Julie, if it is Disney, I love it!

 

[Denine]

Hello all!

Sorry I didn't get on yesterday to wish Barb a Happy Birthday. Sounds like you had a good day!

I am not feeling well. I have had a headache and sore throat since yesterday. I was also dizzy and nauseous from being dizzy. Church was not fun. I felt awful. I just don't know what it is going to turn into. i am guessing my usual bronchitis, but don't know yet.

Barb: Julie wasn't UP that early yesterday, she hadn't gone to bed yet. We got home at 2AM yesterday.

Hi Lori!

Susan: So sorry to hear about your dad. He needs to take those pain meds, they will help! Hope he responds better to the next chemo. Glad you got something to help you cope.

I DO NOT have a wife and child. Someone sent me a friend request on FB. I thought it was someone from the DIS, but it turned out not to be after I accepted the request. Then I get a notification that we are married! I sent her a message on FB, but never heard back. This person lives in Israel! But, it looks like she went to Kent State, so maybe that is why she sent the request. I unfriended her! Of course, Julie went with it the whole evening!

Heidi: Sounds like you had a bad weekend. What happened? I did read about the hit and run.

We have school today and tomorrow and then a little break. I have to work on Friday, but I never go out on BF anyway.

Denine - I hope you aren't getting sick, feel better soon.

A lot of things just made my weekend bad. My sister hurt my feelings and made me feel unimportant in her life, my best friend was having a bad day so I went up to her to help her out and be a good friend only to have my car get hit, now having to pay for it to get fixed around the holidays without Chris having a job, then get a phone call from the girls asking if their mom could have them for Christmas even though she had them last year, work is even worse than before, and it just kept snowballing from there. Good news is that I got a new phone!

The thing that really irks me about the girls is that Chris talked with his ex a month ago about the holidays. She said since we had the girls last Thanksgiving that she gets them this Thanksgiving and since she had them last Christmas, we got them this year. Then this weekend it turns to having the girls call and they said, "my mommy was wondering if we could be here for Christmas because our cousins are going to be here." This is the same excuse she used last year and I just don't think it is fair to Chris. Chris was sad so it made me mad! If we are going to pay child support, school supplies, uniforms for school, school activities, tutors, piano lessons, sports, etc then I think it is more than fair that she should have to share Christmas with us.

 

[Denine]

Sounds like you need a hug Heidi! I say to have Chris put his foot down and say no to his ex. I hate it when things just snowball. I hope things get better for you.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Hi guys,

Heidi, I think it is so unfair and perhaps Chris needs to say something. I know that he is like your dad and won't but she won't stop until she realizes that Chris is done with it! Dream of Mexico, dream of the Dream.

DeninePixie dust that you aren't getting really sick!

Barb, when does Jaymee get into town?

Hi Sally, Julie and Susan!

Headed out of here to do some Christmas shopping.

 

[Mickey02]

Jaymee comes Wednesday!! WOOHOOOOO!!!

Heidi-I am so sorry about your weekend. Seems like things love to pile up on us. What do the girls want to do? Can they split the day?

Denine-Sounds like you guys had a great time! It was 3:00 my time so I figured it was about 5:00 your time. What time did you wild kids stop partying? Hope you feel better and dont get sick.

Sandy-How did the your and Teds appointments go?

 

[wildernessgirl]

I was also dizzy and nauseous from being dizzy. Church was not fun. I felt awful.

Sure your wife's name isn't Mrs. Over? First name Hang?


I gotta keep goin' with it Denine!! It's just too fun!


Heidi, I KNOW EXACTLY what you are going through. Just remember at 18 yrs. and you don't have to worry about the Ex. IF she has them for Thanksgiving this year, then tell Chris to stick to his guns and keep them for Christmas. Tell the girls that they saw their "cousins" last year since that is the same thing she pulled and they are just gonna have to see them another time. Unfortunately, I wish I could tell you it gets easier, but it really doesn't. Hang in there. We had an arrangement with Garry's ex. that she got Anna Marie Christmas Eve until the evening and then we got her for Christmas morning. She did her "Christmas morning" on the 24th. It was the only way we could come up with since Garry's birthday is ON Christmas Eve and the agreement was each parent had the child on their birthday.....

The girls have to understand that you have plans too and that they have to consider that. It is very hard sometimes to get kids to understand, but you DON'T HAVE to "help out" with the school fees, uniforms, supplies, team fees, etc... If the child support says you have to pay a portion of things, then that is what you do... pay your PORTION and that's it. It is so hard when you feel so close to them (believe me, there was several times Anna Marie hurt my feelings NOT TO MENTION HER FATHER'S). Garry has always said how "lopsided" custody agreements can be in favor of the mother. When Garry and I first got together we did and paid for EVERYTHING for Anna Marie. Then when we asked the ex. for us to have Anna Marie on the "full time parent" she won't go for it. So what did we do, we told her that we were following the custody agreement to the letter and would only pay our portion of medical bills, school fees, etc and boy did her tune soon change. I know how hard it is. Hang in there and tell Chris to do the same. We are here for you and if you ever just want to chat, you know where I'm at. We have been through this all before!

Susan, sorry to hear about your dad. Prayers are still coming your way! We went through almost the exact same "tests, kemo, etc." with Garry's dad. It is hard, but you can get through it.

Barb, we are going to WDW on Jan 14th for 10 days. We are taking Anna Marie down because she is inter-ing for Disney!!! We don't know too much until she gets down there and we move her into her condo.

Sandy, want to do my Christmas shopping? LOL!!

Well gonna run! Have a great day!

Barb - If we get them then it would be that we could have them Christmas Eve and have to drive them back up either at night on Christmas Eve or early Christmas morning. My coworker said that if she wants to change plans and have them on Christmas, then she should be the one coming to pick them up since she never ever drives them or picks them up, and they live over 60 miles away.

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Julie - thanks, I knew you would understand. The child support does not state we have to pay the extra stuff, but we do anyway because we know that raising kids (especially twins) is more than what the child support is and we have a big heart. Chris will never confront his ex so I guess I just get to vent to you guys! Last year it was his ex's family that came out and Chris thinks this year it is the step-dad's family coming out. If we asked the girls, I am 100% sure they would say us, but since their mom is too chicken to call Chris herself...she made the girls do it so that Chris couldn't turn them down. Chris was paying extra money per month on child support before he lost his job, and then when he lost his job he was saying he is going to have to follow the court ordered child support fees and she played a guilt trip on him which made me so mad because she doesn't understand that it isn't him paying it, it is ME. I would think she would be a little more thankful. Plus why she was mad was because she said she had quit her job and her home business had not picked up yet so she was counting on that extra $200 month to supplement that.

Don't get me wrong, we have a good relationship, but sometimes these things really get to me.

 

[Denine]

Sorry Julie, I didn't drink enough for a hangover. I still have the headache and sore throat. I am tired too. I don't have time for this!

I think most of my Christmas shopping is done. Just need to get for Jerry's mom and the secret santa.

So if you guys are gonna let her have the girls this year I would tell her the next 2 years are yours and put it in writing! I understand there is other family, but it's not fair to your guys. IF you do this, I would MAKE her pick the girls up, no if's, and's, or but's!!!! Garry's ex and I had an "ok" relationship, but I held my ground when it came to something I truly believed in and if she was gonna screw up our plans... SHE CAME and got Anna Marie.
