Uncle.

I would like to have different problems. I want problems that come with an intact marriage and children with ordinary health challenges and school issues. I do not want to have to he a therapist for my child because her father left the family. I don't want this assortment of problems.

Maybell, I feel for you and others tonight. Yours is particularly tough. This is the most painful event of my life (including loss of my dad to cancer), and my D2 is happy as a clam. I'm having trouble imagining what you're going through. Because of that, I hesitate to give you advice, but...

Does your D like running? It is therapeutic for adults, and I'm assuming it does the same for children, too. Plus, you could do it together, weather permitting (I know it gets cold in MD...). I'd bet you'd like to be that type of therapist for her smile. I know this isn't going to solve your or her issues, but it might be a temporary relief.

Mine either., but it's nice to be noticed by the young bloke I'm calling hottest thing on 2 legs and the older dude I crushed on before either of us were married.

Knew him cas and from afar, to scared thinking he was too good looking to rich to etc fill in any and all, excuses here.

The hottest thing, will openly seek me out joke and oogly. grin
The other one is just a bit the same all though getting caught openly calling him hot well *rolls eyes* both smart and dumb but he did not throw up, he responded in a flirty way, much to my suprise and pleasure. grin

No really I'm not the model I sound like, no Elle mac am I but supposedly men are easy!
Looking good and wearing make up is helping me to act as if I'm a confident super model.

Everyone has an assortment of problems regardless of one's age. It is how you handle and address knuckleballs as they come up.

Glad to hear it was only tiredness. Coldest night of the year so far in our parts (I'm in KY). Get cozy and rested smile

Wonka, was that boundary 2x4 on Gwen's thread for me, or is there another MB out there? Ouch!!! I'm working on it, I'm working on it!!

D11 was feeling playful and communicative tonight. I got hugs and news from school and she wanted me to sing like I did when she was little. She's goofy and witty and I adore her. We challenging women are tough but rewarding.

Card, my sitch isn't that awful compared to some. Train's before April, for example, or T0324's. Things could be much, much worse. (Fate, don't be tempted...)

Our party is tomorrow. We've been looking up recipes for butter beer and treacle tart and making lists. H takes the kids tomorrow evening and then I'll go to a wine party. Saturday is Oktoberfest and hopefully a movie Saturday night. The friend most egging me on with the Nerdy Young Thing wants to get together for a night on the town and I've got to Run, Maybell, Run. Most important project for the weekend: hydrate. I don't want to be hung over all weekend!!

Action packed weekend on the program and I don't even have red hair yet. Don't feel sorry for me, Card, I'm blessed, even with my wimpy boundaries. smile

Sigh. There's a weight in my stomach and all my GAL feels bitter because my family is broken. Is this the depth before the next wave of detachment?

You don't know that's the root of her problems. There's another story you're telling yourself. wink

We're all thrown things we don't want. That's what we signed up for when we came earthside.

But I get your drift. Life is hard but it is beautiful! Did you ever see the movie Life is Beautiful?

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.
I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.
