  1. so excited...heading to the airport to grab the first grandson coming to visit!!! yay for vaccines!!
  2. just a quick check in before i totally fall into bed. husband had surgery today. he told me 1.5 hours-ish, as i wasn't allowed in the building. after 3 hours i went in and inquired. was told he was in recovery. another HOUR and i finally get a phone call to come inside to meet with the nurse. i was about to freak when she said that because i had been in the parking lot for 4 hours for a surgery scheduled for only one and a half hours including recovery. he had some complications due to his neurological disease. he is fine, but very uncomfortable. he has to have a catheter for a few days. that is not fun!!! its been a long afternoon and then a hard three hours being home and getting him in order, fed and pain meded up. (see how i made up a word, there?) ttyl.
  3. you know, its been a nice weekend here. went to a family thing yesterday and saw 3 of my sisters and lots of littles. saw friends last night and had dinner after attending a church service with them. today was church again (different church), lunch and shopping with hubby, a long rest after and leftovers for dinner (my fave: mac and cheese from scratch). all in all, a pretty good weekend. next weekend starts about 4 weeks of continuous time with several different grandkids. one comes for a week, then i get him home to texas, grab 2 more and keep them for a weekish and then drive again to new mexico and do the trade off of kids and another comes back with me to stay a while. not sure how he is getting home yet. so, lots of road trip driving, quality time in individual doses and much joy to be had.
  4. its pretty normal here too. i used to have a whole hallway of family/my kids photos. i loved it then. now i have a few family pics hanging, literally only a few and then i have a hutch with all the kids and grands pictures on the shelves. ETA: i have lots of decor up in my house too - just not family photos. we do have to remember she wasn't exposed to decorating per se as she grew up (exception: the JB and M kissing picture). it takes time to learn what you like and what looks good together. i think her life-skills progress is pretty good, considering where she started. and dont forget, she is at lest trying to expand her mind and skills. thats more than almost any of the others can say.
  5. the book says 'our new baby sister arrived today'. you guys think thats a hint for us?
  6. good morning all......been just busy lately. all is well for now. been reading this a.m. trying to catch up. you guys have been chatty!!!!
  7. this is a PRICY golf course. it in a ritzy, upscale area = palos verdes. i doubt i have ever even driven up there.
  8. my first wedding was in a backyard with a few guests. i wore an off the rack dress. our 'reception' was agin in the backyard a week later, waring a homemade dress. 17 years later i remarried. this time my children and his chose my dress, a real wedding dress and veil. we married and had our reception and dinner in the same room at a golf course. i had only my MOH and he his BM. our children had a part in the wedding. guests sat at their reception table seats. and one funny part ---- as i had no wedding planner, nobody came to get me when it was time to walk down the 'aisle'. i guess people were wondering if i had reneged! 😆
  9. that really is nice photo of both of them.
  10. WOW! i cant even fathom that there are more family involved in this mess. i had to lock myself out of here for a few days cuz it was too overwhelming and triggering. i just cant imagine an uglier scenario than how it is already.
  11. on another topic that is way more fun, i started painting a ceramic rooster today. i am not a ceramics painter -- i usually do chalkpaint on furniture. this is so fun! btw, its going to be pink and gray to match my bedroom.
  12. came to this thread to get away from all the josh stuff. my head cant take it anymore. it is such a trigger for me. talked to my counselor today about the whole story and she was like 'OF COURSE it makes sense that you cant let this out of your thought process. it is bringing back what you dont want to think about again. so, for now, i am staying out of his thread and hoping this one stays relatively free from updates about it.
  13. it sure is taking a long time to get any info on this hearing....
  14. katie joy on WOACB goes live in about 20 minutes per her you tube site.
  15. i was gone on a short roadtrip when the news broke about joshua. i stayed with friends that i have often stayed at before. this time, they have a 1 year old goldendoodle. guess what? i am allergic to it! i came home a day early and have been in resting mode all day today. did watch church, tho! now i am catching up here. oh and based off the 'tired' of this short trip, i probably wont be driving to texas anymore and rather flying. i am exhausted!
  16. my roommate saw the statement from TLC cancelling counting on. i dont have a link. can anyone find it and post t?
  17. i had my second child on april 22, earth day. he was a couple weeks early and chose that day to arrive after a tragic apartment complex fire just down the street from where i lived. it was a stressful moment but he was fine, my place was uninvolved in the fire and no one i knew was injured. i remember bringing him home laying him on the front seat of my grandmothers car, wrapped in a blanket. grandma didn't see the need for a car-seat. GAH! silly me for being so compliant, against my better judgment. never again did any kdi of mine ride in a car without the proper car-seat in place!
  18. i am confused (as usual). did you send her your email? how did she make contact with you? the last i heard, you were still debating responding. i think, as some have said above, truth is good , but in increments at a time. also as was mentioned above, it COULD be a game with the mother to see if you will tell the truth. i think you need to go with your gut on this one.
