I had major "fall-out" of my hair yesterday, had this happen before, but it was due to the meds. I was on, (depression/anxiety) I stopped all meds. a while ago, and stopped counseling over the summer, was not "jellin" with the counselor to well, so got discoraged. My hair is pretty short, due to the last episode......today, it looks like absolute hell. I don't want to get into detail on what it looks like, alot came out yesterday in the back mostly.

It is tomorrow (monday). DH did try to call him a few days ago , as planned on SS cell phone, but nothing came of it, DH just left him a message. Now of course my DH wants to talk to his son on his b-day, but it looks like he will have to call their home phone to get a hold of him. BM will love to hear DH's voice, I'm sure! I hope SS answers. DH is going to call early in the a.m. as in hope to catch SS before he heads off to school, and has a better shot at reaching him, and possibly BM will not be there.???

In My Sisters Name....

I have to take a moment, as I just got the news last night. My sister was a year younger than I, almost to the day. I did not meet her 'till I was 20, and she never knew I existed. I was the lucky one. I was given up for adoption at birth by my bio-mom, she then went on to have 2 more girls, all a year apart from eachother, she kept them, or at least tried. I knew I was adopted, but did not start searching until after I was married, and planning to have my own family. Was hoping to find my bio-mom. I went thru alot, no internet back then when I first started searching.

What Do You Think Of This Theory?

Theory~ Some children,especially ones that our "sensitive" in nature, when the parents divorce in the child's "elementry years", get "stuck" at the age they were at , at the time of the break-up/divorce. Emotionally, they stop growing and maturing as they should, and that leads to a variety of problems later in life, even into adulthood. (it does explain alot of what we all see in skids) Was wondering what you all thought?

Because I really don't give a F~!

Sorry....but need to "vent" this out. I love my MIL, I really do, buuuut some times I really want to tell her (insert title of this post). MIL called on Tues. night, DH was not home yet, but came in while I was talking w/ her. We were in the middle of talking about the skids, and she said she wished that DH would try to make contact w/ SS, by calling him on his cell phone. I reminded her that he did call before, a while ago, and never got a call back.

My DH and I went to go see my Dad yesterday. I pop in and visit him where he works from time to time, and was thinking about him alot the past few days. My dad has cancer again! He had it a couple of years ago in his kidney, and they removed it, now it's back in his other one. He does not look to good. He also is having complications with his foot. He said the muscle is pulling away from the bone, not sure what is going on w/ that. He has been a chef all his life, on his feet like 24/7 so that could be why.

Wife Swap...almost like being a stepmom!

I have recently watched some episodes of this show, and it reminds me so much of being a stepmom, and some of the issues we deal with here. They take a "wife", put her into a new family w/ DH and the "wife" has to deal with all the differences the new family brings. In some of the episodes, the kids are real brats, or go out of there way to be defiant, as a listless DH sits back and watches, or defends their behavior, that in turn causes blow-out's with the new "wife" Or they themselves don't want to change, and expect the new "wife" to deal with it.

Getting married, to avoid being deported???

I guess this my Ex's latest plan. His current GF, that he has been seeing for about a year, is here in this country illegally. Her brother was in an accident that has left him unable to care for himself....he is a vegetative state. The accident I was told is why she is still in this country. She helps to care for him. My kids have been telling me now that their dad might marry her to keep her here, as they worry some times about her being deported. My Ex has mentioned it before not to long ago, but I did not know he was saying that to the kids, or if that is the reason.

Was having a heart -to- heart talk w/ my 13 year old daughter last night on the phone. I love having talks like that w/ her, she is so bright! (have to brag for a min.) Anyways , we were talking about how tough divorce is , on all involved, especially kids, and then she said ,"what if parents had to stay together 'till their kids turned 18"....I nearly fell out of my chair!
