hey morgan, I know what you mean about missing H. That's normal (at least I hope!). It'll come and go. You have a long road in front of you. I am just proud of you for holding it together as well as you are.
Good Morning, M. Hope today is a good one despite the wet weather. What are your plans?
I fully expect to be called to pick up S11 from school. His mouth hurts so badly, he barely ate breakfast but I gave him some ibuprofen and sent him off to school anyway. I had braces too so I know the pain but just as in life, you need to still go on despite the pain/hurt.
And like that U2 song, "Some days are better than others"

Good morning morgan. Hope its a good day in morganland.
care, OUCH to the braces. I didn't have them, but my brother did, and even though as a kid I usually LOVED when he was in pain I really felt bad for him when he first got those bad boys.
hope your son is better soon, care. no fun...I still remember that ache. yuck.
morning lwb!
today is a stay in our jammies kind of day. the twins have colds, I have the start of one, its pouring rain, cold, yucky. will probably bake cookies with them later...even though I'm tempted to hold off until tomorrow, since h comes tonight. ahh, well, won't let his presence or the chance of him getting some of my cookies (not dirty this time!) stop me from doing what I want to do with my kids.
we've snuggled, watched peanuts thanksgiving, and have been playing all morning. now we are contemplating our talents for the big talent show down in VA in a couple of weeks. yeah, for any who have seen dan in real life, my family has decided to adopt that tradition. should be hysterical, although I wasn't thinking and my eldest is in a performance-anxiety-ridden panic now. and not sure if my talent of describing how I keep my cool (mostly) when h does his alien spew is quite family friendly. nor is my current poem to him, Ode to an Ass. hmmm...need to think of something for myself that is a little more in keeping with the audience.
hope everyone has a good day. h is coming tonight, will head off to the gym then.
other than that, one day at a time.

Morgan, My garbage disposal was not working so I use ehow.com. They had video instruction. You may also find DIY videos available on Youtube! I am very proud of you. My S2 is now saying "Mommy's tools, now!" He sees me take out the garbage, mow the lawn, fix screws, pull down things from the attic. Now I need to really start the feng shui in my bedroom and , don't gasp, take down wedding pics and baby pics I need a romantic holiday for myself as a newly single mom. This is like a process I never thought I would have to go through ever! BUT , as my mom says, I need to kis a few frogs while I am young! LOL! She has been separated three times. Twice with my Dad in her thirties and forty, and once with her boyfriend in her sixties. She says I should kiss those frogs now while AI am younger as it is so much easier than doing that at 60! It is true. We are so vital and interesting. Think of those LBS or widows who are our moms' ages! We can actually have some fun with a new beginning. Sounds scary but I have met two women who claim they have met the loves of their lives the second time around. New traditions, new beginnings. Hear us roar. Miss ya.

Thou still married husband of deceit, Thou punisher, silent and withdrawn, re-writer of history, what canst thou express a wretched tale in which I am your pawn: what horrors you endured entwined with me now new found love, a single life, or both born of lies, deception only grows no inward glance, all anger outward shown doomed to repeat mistakes not improved upon.
lol, okay, so its really bad, but hey, if you are actually going to ask to see something, what do you expect? lol.
mk, you are awesome! good for you on the garbage disposal. I don't know what is with me and the shed roof, but I will check the site out you recommended and see if I can get the guts to tackle it.
I took down my wedding photos long ago, and have never had pics of my kids in my bedroom. well, none on the wall, I think there are a couple in the bookcases. someone long ago told me not to make my bedroom a shrine to my kids, its easier to get down and dirty without little babies faces staring at you. I have plenty of pics of my kids elsewhere, but just not there. good for you for creating a haven, if only for yourself for now.
mk, you are so strong. and yeah, we need to think of this new chapter of our lives with a sense of adventure, intead of clouded with fear and sadness.
thanks for the smile at that vision.
