Hi everyone. I want to thank you all for the kind words. It really meant alot to me. To make a long story a little shorter, all that stuff about DS trying to turn things around was just a scam on DH and I. We were tryng very hard with DS and trying to trust him more....life was going pretty good or so we thought. As of right now, we owe more money to the school for lunches that he borrowed (we have had to pay back over 150.00 in lunches he has borrowed since he moved in with us) after throwing away his packed lunch from home. I was so impressed with what I thought was his good behavior, I was going to put money into his lunch account so he could buy lunch once in a while. Once I logged into his account on-line, I found all the charges that start about 1 1/2 weeks after we thought things were getting better. I felt we were finally turning the corner but ended up just feeling stabbed in the back.

On top of all this, we got a call from his mom this weekend and found out that in the last month, DS had downloaded about 300.00 in "adult" movies on her cable bill. She calls us complaining that she doesn't have the money to pay for that and hinted that we should help her pay for it. (She doesn't pay support and we have never asked for any.) Before the "supposed" turn around happened, we told her plenty of times what he had been doing. She chose not to believe us and always blamed someone else for what he did. (friends made him do it) She never took it seriously until it affected her. By the way, he was in trouble long before we were granted custudy and that is the main reason we have custody now. We have been and still are fighting a losing battle. We haven't given up on him but he hasn't hit bottom yet. When he does, we'll be there to help him pick up the pieces.

Please don't thing bad of me for that last bit. I believe some people just cannot accept help until they have hit bottom, whatever that may be. We have been in family counseling and he "played" the counselor too. I've been with his dad for 13yrs and he is my child too. All I want is for our children to grow up to be responsible adults and right now, I can't see the light at the end of tunnel for him.

Thank you for letting me ramble on here. I know I said I would keep this short but it just poured out tonight. You guys are the best.

Ok, not to be a thread hogger or anything but even though I wasn't posting, I still kept reading what everyone what up to.

The superbowl was great! Love that the GIANTS won. I kept promising DB that I wouldn't watch but I just couldn't resist. It was a great game though I didn't care for the commercials so much. Most of them seemed to be lacking this year.

whgrn-sending a little and a that all goes well. Please post and let us know how things are.

MagiKitty-7.00...I feel lucky when I win a 1.00. Winnings of that much would go right into my Disney fund.

pepperw23-congrats on the weight loss. Maybe one of these days I'll get motivated enough to get in shape. Between all the kids and running the house, exercise just seems too exhausting.

disney54us-missed you too. I feel so lost since I haven't been on for a couple of days.

Sorry to anyone I may have forgotten. Just way too much to comment on.

Good night everyone.

 

[MagiKitty]

Happy Super Tuesday everyone! I must say, its going to be very exciting. The Giants are having their victory parade later this morning. The Natalee Holloway case is back in the news. We're helping decide who will be our national leader.

dreamin...thank you so much for your courage to share your issues with us. But I agree with you, you can only truly help someone who recognizes there is a problem and actively seeks help. Your son is at a difficult age right now, he's searching to find himself and testing his boundaries. Its putting stress on your family's dynamics. You, your husband, and DS's mom need to work together to find the best solution in dealing with your son. I wish you the best, that you can find strength, and please know that it will work itself out. We're always here to offer your support.

whgrn so sorry to hear about the upcoming surgery. Just have patience and in no time you'll be going to town on the keyboard! Until then, just read us and peck away as desired but don't push yourself too hard! Take the time to recover properly.

Congrats on all the weight loss everyone! The smallest step is still a step ahead! Keep plugging away at it and pretty soon you'll be at your goals!

Nasty freezing rain with thunder and lightning here. Will try to sneak away and vote later this afternoon. I just don't know how to bundle up for this kind of weather. Its just so tricky.

Good day everyone!

 

[Shmu]

We haven't given up on him but he hasn't hit bottom yet. When he does, we'll be there to help him pick up the pieces.

Tough love is hard. The beautiful thing you said above is you will be there to pick up the pieces. Like MagiKitty said, people need to want to help themselves before they can really get help. We work a lot with young people in our church and we see it time and time again. All you can do is love no matter what. Remember, Love is also discipline.
Use us to vent to anytime you need to. It helps to have a safe outlet. We'll be that for you.

MagiKitty- sounds like an exciting day in New York. I would love to be at the parade. The energy there would be wonderful.

In......honor.....of....whgrn....I.....am....posting.....slow......since.....she.....will.....have.....to....post....slow....after.....her.....surgery.

Seriously, sending prayers your way still for a fast recovery.

 

[dreamin in pa]

Morning everyone. Getting ready to watch the Giants parade with the kids.

Thanks MagiKitty and Shmu. I think I just needed to get it out, you know. I'm terribly disappointed in him but we will go forward from here.

Weather is dreary here. It's warm but really blah. They want rain and snow for the next 4 days. If it does, DH will be home from work complaining "I'm so bored" nonstop just like one of the kids. Lucky, lucky me.

 

[M&N]

Please don't thing bad of me for that last bit. I believe some people just cannot accept help until they have hit bottom, whatever that may be. We have been in family counseling and he "played" the counselor too. I've been with his dad for 13yrs and he is my child too.

Thank you for letting me ramble on here. I know I said I would keep this short but it just poured out tonight. You guys are the best.

Your love shines through. You can see in the other posts that we do not think bad of you. It is good to know you have a place to ramble. All things happen for a reason. It's tough being a parent these days. You are there for him and he may not appreciate it now but he's being shown what loving parents do. Keep looking down that tunnel for the light...

 

[Shmu]

UUUUGGGGGHHHHHHHH.
Had to get that out and I knew ya'll would still love me.
I just tried adding the eliptical trainer to my schedule to have a better workout.
I have exercise induced asthma and it makes me soooooooo mad.
I have dealt with this since childhood. I wrote about it in my PTR if you want more info.
The short of it is, I LOVE sports and my body doesn't.
During the workout I of course started having breathing problems and had to stop because I went into an asthma attack.
Don't panic. I know what to do to get my body under control. I have dealt with this since I was 8 years old. I would scare my mom so much coming in from playing with blue lips.
So, I'm sitting here at the computer letting my body cool down.
I'm starting to breath fine now.
I just get so upset because there is so much I want to do that my body won't let me do.
Thanks for letting me vent.

 

[M&N]

I'm just sitting here being vented on. That's what I get for not .

I'm a strong believer in venting myself. I lost my tax bill. After a little cry, I got out the phone book to call and find out how to get another one. That phone book is not easy to use when you don't know what you are looking for. And the print is so small. After one wrong try, I got the right place.

Hope everyone is feeling better. I know I am.

 

[Shmu]

I am feeling better.
Thanks M&N.
All is good over here in Shmuville once again.

 

[lighttech]

You've been a bunch of busy little bees everyone! As usual, too much to comment on, so I'll just randomly pick and choose below...

I am SOOOOO jealous!!! I've been working my tail off and only lost 3.5 pounds since 1/2!!! (It had been 6, but for some weird reason I was up 2.5 last week.) I'm hoping for a drop tomorrow, but time will tell...

Meanwhile, this is my last hurrah on the Dis. I'm having rotator cuff surgery tomorrow so my typing ability will be greatly reduced (it's my right arm, and I'm a righty!!) So I will have to hunt and peck and keep it brief. But I'll be here lurking, and I'll try to pop in a response here and there.

Hang in there and keep plugging away. Its probably a great thing that you got the weight loss program going before surgery. Its harder to start when you have an excuse. Best wishes in surgery. And, like someone else said, just smiley us! It could be a whole new way of communicating!

Yea, I am really liking the South Beach Diet. It is easy to follow and I have lost 10 pounds since Jan 14th. Not as fast as the first time I was on it, but I am doing a lot of toning this time so I am gaining muscle too I guess.

Hurrah!

Hi everyone. I want to thank you all for the kind words.
Thank you for letting me ramble on here. I know I said I would keep this short but it just poured out tonight. You guys are the best.

Dreamin', we're always here. Thats a lot to handle, and I'm so glad DS has someone so supportive to help him thru. You are right. He does have to acknowledge his problem and WANT help. What a let down that you were thinking he'd had a break through. Keep remembering that even though its his problem, it has become yours too, and you deserve to allow yourself to feel the emotional highs and lows of his successes and failures. At this point, you probably feel them more pointedly than he does. Come here and vent any time. You have many open "ears" and a lot of people thinking kind thoughts your way. Good for you for wanting to wait around to "pick up the pieces." Nothing negative about that. It takes a strong person and a lotta love.

UUUUGGGGGHHHHHHHH.

Of course we still love ya'!!
Sorry about the asthma. That has to be frustrating, especially for someone who truly enjoys being active. But, its good you've learned to control it and work through what you can.
Blue lips!!! We need a new smilie just for 8 yr old Shmu!!

Well, must get back to doing some work. Its a VERY busy week around here, and DH won't be home much, so I'm trying to prep dinners, do laundry, etc. before the day gets away from me and I start back to work. Otherwise, nevermind healthy eating... everyone will be on PB&J or worse for dinner all week.

 

[M&N]

I'm in a funky mood today...so here goes.
What's wrong with PB&J? Whole wheat bread---fiber! PB--protein, J---can get variety! Doesn't take long to prepare. Not much mess to clean up. No thought to prepare. No recipe needed. I'm sure there are other advantages. I could figure out the WW points easier than some of the other things I make. Goes good with milk. Would need to drink lots of water to get it down. Wonder how it would taste on a WW pita pocket? Good thing I'm eating out tonight.
Like I said...I'm in a funky mood. Bear with me.

 

[DL55]

I am so glad you had fun!!! I think sometimes it is good to get away just the two of you. I think sometimes we need those little reminders. Yesterday DH and I went and walked down the beach and it was nice with it being just me, him and the dog lol. Of course we weren't there an hour before DD(17) was on the phone wanting to know "what's for dinner." haha. Teens lol, when you are home they ignore ya, go out and they drive ya nuts.

I know the feeling of not losing much weight. Hope surgery goes well.

I feel for you, my DD won't learn from her mistakes. She's now living in a dump of a trailer with no car.

I was going to say how badly my birthday was going today but it doesn't sound as bad as some of you. I'm just missing my kitten. He disappeared last night and I haven't seen him since.

happy birthday, m&N.


i'll be back later!

[MagiKitty]

Happy Birthday DL55! Wow what a great day to have a birthday, so much going on AND its Mardi Gras! Hope you're surrounded by happiness and love on your special day.

I broke the voting machine. Ok, not me specifically, but when I went in to vote, the machine was not working. We have those old fashioned machines where you push the slots down in order to vote. Thing is, my machine would only let you vote for one person, none of the other options worked. It was a conspiracy! They had to call someone from the board of elections to look at the machine. I waited to see what would happen. Makes me think that all the people before me either voted for the same person, or didn't bother to question why the other options were stuck. Eventually they got it to work. Every vote can make a difference.

I'm kinda peeved at Disney right now. My mother received one of those amazing 40% off postcards in the mail. Its non transferable and I could have totally used it for an anticipated trip in the fall. I called customer service and asked if I had a code in my name but no go. I was told to keep calling. I called for the vacation DVD before Christmas, I got the Disney Visa. I was even stopped at MGM and answered their survey; I still get surveys via email and answer them. But do I get the blessed golden postcard? NO! I was told the only way I'd be able to use the discount was if my mother was travelling with me; something that won't happen. My parents don't enjoy Disney as I do.

I can only hope that for some reason later on I'll be deemed worthy and receive a discount of my own. Until then, I'm holding a teeny tiny grudge.

Whew, got my own vent going on. Feel a little better now. Going to medicate with Cherry Garcia yougurt. I feel so rejected right now.

 

[dreamin in pa]

DL55! and I worry so much about DS ending up in much worse places.

M&N-my thoughts exactly on PB&J. If only I could get away with that for dinner. When you cook for 6, there is never any meal that is easy clean-up.

whgrn-glad you are feeling ok. on the weight loss.

shmu-of course, we still love ya....vent away, I've done it enough lately.

magsnden

MagiKitty-those golden tickets are nothing but a big tease. I can't even go the "codes and rates" board anymore. All you ever see if everyone esle saying they got a code. How come out of all those codes that are out there, none are attatched to our names? Maybe that's the conspiracy?

The codes must be like the tag fairy...somewhere out there but not where we are. Maybe you need a code killer banner.

Another to you, and like everyone has said, vent you need it what your kids go through or take you through has just as much affect! Your brother has you now, It was the most watched Superbowl in history. Didn't see all the commercials, but compared to past years I agree.

Happy Super Tuesday everyone! I must say, its going to be very exciting. The Giants are having their victory parade later this morning. The Natalee Holloway case is back in the news. We're helping decide who will be our national leader.

Good day everyone!

Happy Tuesday, made sure I voted first thing this morning, I really take my right to vote seriously. In other countries people have died for that right and it is just something I feel proud to live in a country that we all have that right. Okay I'll get off my soap box, but I have voted in every election since I was 18. Oh that's right according to the boards I'm still under 13, so how could that be?

Morning everyone. Getting ready to watch the Giants parade with the kids.

Thanks MagiKitty and Shmu. I think I just needed to get it out, you know. I'm terribly disappointed in him but we will go forward from here.

Weather is dreary here. It's warm but really blah. They want rain and snow for the next 4 days. If it does, DH will be home from work complaining "I'm so bored" nonstop : just like one of the kids. Lucky, lucky me.

It was on TV>>?? I would have watched, you know what they say... You can take the girl out of NY, but you can't take the NY out of the girl.

UUUGGGGGHHHHHHHH.

hope your feeling better. My DD suffers from asthma full time so you could imagine how well sports or working out goes for her. At the gym they gave her a program base on her breathing capacity. It still takes the wind out of her though on bad days. Blue lips, I've seen belly breathing and 150 peak flows, but thankful no blue lips.

I'm just sitting here being vented on. That's what I get for not .

I'm a strong believer in venting myself. I lost my tax bill. After a little cry, I got out the phone book to call and find out how to get another one.

Won't you take me to 'funky town'. I don't think I would try it on the pita, stick to whole wheat bread or those rye crisp.

Happy Birthday DL55 .
Whgn glad you check in and all went well

Hi, everyone need to get back on track. miss talking to all you TK's. My life as it once was ended yesterday. DD passed her driving test, yes folks now she can drive w/o anyone in the car with her. So I am just a bit freaked, and it is strange. She is responsible, but I worry about everyone else on the road and she is a new inexperienced driver. So I can ramble, but it just is very nerve racking.

 

[magsnden]

good morning everyone!

i tried to get on here last night around 11 - no luck!
any maintenance going on? i tried a few times then gave up.

ok i'm barely awake, i need some coffee then i'll be back!

 

[Shmu]

I use the Biblical method for typing..."Seek and ye shall find!"

How did I miss this before? This is funny.

Blue lips!!! We need a new smilie just for 8 yr old Shmu!!

How is this?

Glad you are feeling better (read later post)

I was going to say how badly my birthday was going today but it doesn't sound as bad as some of you. I'm just missing my kitten. He disappeared last night and I haven't seen him since.

Thanks
Sorry about your kitten.

Hope your day got better.

I broke the voting machine.

hope your feeling better. My DD suffers from asthma full time so you could imagine how well sports or working out goes for her. At the gym they gave her a program base on her breathing capacity. It still takes the wind out of her though on bad days. Blue lips, I've seen belly breathing and 150 peak flows, but thankful no blue lips.

They misdiagnosed when I was younger. They thought it was my heart. (I was born with a hole in my heart) Didn't figure out it was asthma until I was 14. Loooong story. When I first used an inhaler I thought I had gone to heaven. It was like magic. Then I got mad that I had all those years that I could've been using it. The good thing about your DD is you have it under control at an early age.

I was the same way with my DS. He is 18 now, but letting go that first time was a nail biter.

i tried to get on here last night around 11 - no luck!

I had the same trouble. Guess they were working on the DIS.
I need some coffee too. Think I'll go get some.
