Thursday Roll Call

Hello Everyone,

I did not leave my house today. It was awesome! I started cleaning my mom's room. On November 8th it will be 2 years that she went home to God.. I am finally ready.  I found so many things that made me smile....and a few that made me misty. It's going to take more than a day, but I am on my way.

Connie, I am so HAPPY that drain is long gone. It sounds like you are getting stronger everyday. Wonderful!

Lisa, I, too, need a haircut and a dye job. I simply cannot go on job interviews next week with gray hair. I am trying to look 45 not 55! HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA. Enjoy your last weekend before the job starts again.

Kim, I am so happy no drain was something you had to endure. Feel better!

Nancy, Buffy and al your puddys sound like they keep you busy. Mine sat around me all day watching me clean out drawers. They never leave me when I am home. I love them like they are my kids.

Dawn, it takes gumption to hit the old stomping grounds. You are one strong broad :)

Randy I miss you. Hope things are good with you and the Mrs.

Crystal, my heart breaks for your pain. It can be hard to date a man who has kids and an EX. I am so happy my husbands ex-wife is good friends with both me and G. My ex-husband and I have been friends for years. He was my first love and we always managed to be friends. Unfortunately, recently he unfriended me on Facebook. He e-mailed me, and said his wife is jealous of me. Of me???????????? We dont even live in the same state. We never talk and we hardly even e-mail each other. We have been divorced for 30 years. She will not let him come to IL to see our grand-babies because she thinks he and I will get together!?!?!??!??!?!  I have always been happy for his newest marriage. She appears to really love him and take good care of him.  I guess what I am trying to say is: she is upset, and jealous over NOTHING. Jealousy is such a personal self-reflection. It has nothing to do with the person who you think makes you experience the feeling.

My husband has never called me a bad name or even yelled at me. His ex-wife is a psychologist and she taught him fair-fighting during the years they were married. BLESS HER!  I too learned fair-fighting years ago when I was in my 30's. I strongly encourage you to take the steps necessary to gift yourself with a therapist who can help you deal with the pain of your childhood. My dad was an abusive alcoholic. Believe me when I say there is a ton of garbage that you will wade through and dump away forever with the help of a good therapist. If you need a good one, I know several who are not far from Joliet who can help you my dear one. You are a beautiful, awesome woman and this can be fixed.

I am off to watch the Bears. They are winning right now, but we all know Pre-season means NOTHING!

HUGS,

Sharon
