So now you know all kinds of stuff about me. This was fun. Made me think. DD 2 seems better. She will be going for more tests to see if more of small intestine is diseased.
Went looking for DS valentines cards...seems he misplaced them and we were on a hunt....darn aches acting up..... so DD1 printed off some pics of spongebob (6 to a page) and now he has some....

so, I am off here now. Dh will want to surf and paltalk his new friends. gives me a reason to stitch AND more importantly have the tv turned off.YAY

Thanks for looking in.
Well, today is the day we get to check DD #2. going to the specialist...lots of tests and prolly will schedule more. We will spend the aftnoon there and have lunch together. I love my kids! they are the greatest AND they are indigo children.

Indigo children are special children. They are born of us but are not ours. They are the technological children of the future. They are the thinkers and doers....sent here to teach us. There are some great books about these children.
Here is a neat site that can start your journey. http://kryon.com/k_37.html

Next topic. What to do about DH? How can I show him my fears, worries and confusion about his choice of friends (20 ish girls). People are starting to question him and me. People assume a liason....but I am assured not. It hurts to think that I cannot be that person to make him happy. Counselling is good but there are many more issues to pursue.Can you just imagine if I went out for an inpromtu dinner with a guy 20 yrs younger than myself, didn't let anyone know and come home and talk about it? shit, damn. he would have flipped a lid, but now he says he has "changed" trying to become a more happier person. how to fix, repair, ? this thingie..... have I said I am tired lately????

I wish I could write all the things I want to say, but might not be a good idea. Hmmmm, maybe I should start journaling.....now, where to hide it???
any thoughts????

Not much stitching done lately. Need the sleep more I guess. I have been doing a lot of reading tho. I am reading the In Death series by J D Robb.....I really like them. Also, I am reading the erotic horror novels Hot Blood. very interesting, but I would like more eroticism and less horror.....hm maybe I should reread Story of O. Any more suggestions for me?

I have applied for a permanent fulltime job. a little less money, closer to home tho. keep all digits crossed. I would miss my current job (more responsibility, part time permanent, love the job, hate the hours) but my kids need me at home and more accessible.

Ta for now, have a great day, fellow TWBB'rs and bloggers. :o)

Well, took DD 2 to hospital sunday night. thought she was vomiting up body parts (maybe stomach lining), but doc thinks not. She is 15 has Crohns and has been having a rough time with it. Not keeping down too much food in the last 2 months. At least we see the specialist on thrs this week. I am sick with worry. She just wants an endoscopy (down throat) to see how bad it is and wants it out....the diseased part. seems 1.5yrs ago 1 cm was diseased of the small bowel/intestine. All the tests on thurs will be bloodwork, bone scans and bone density....will be demanding more as well....barium follow thru and endoscopy. What a damn shame! 2 girls with the same disease. DD 19 had 12 inches removed 2 yrs ago. now DS 9 wonders if he will get it.

Sometimes I wonder at the meaning of all this stuff. I know God gives me no more than we can handle, but I am soooooo tired of handling all that we have over the last 23 years of our marraige. I feel I may need to delve into my purpose in life and spiritual needs/deeds. I am starting to read The purpose driven life by Rick Warren. Just glanced so far, but will be starting earnestly in the next few days......

time time.....where can I find more? Have been trying to find more time to stitch, but small disasters befall me at every turn.

I wish I could figure out how to turn on comments forms???
well, I may add more later,,,,,gonna go surf other blogs and sites.

Well, I am back. DH just tore apart the puter area and rewired everything. Maybe we can get at things easier now that the tower is on top of the desk. Hooked up the webcam and microphone....guess he wants to go to the "chat" rooms....lots a pics there, tho not my cuppa tea.

Have been stitching on an older wip. I love country folk. it is cute and I will try to get my site up and running to post some pics.
Have really been craving jalapenos lately. Ran out and got some cream cheese and chopped up the little peppers and YUMMMMM!

Having lots of fun with this new site. Next step: figure how to link to the other blogs I visit. Thanks to Melissa for adding me.

This seems to be a place to put things down and mull over. I have been thinking of Tazkat.....poor baby, lots of crap going on over there. She is having my sympathies.

Things are better on the homefront here. DH and I have gone for our second appt with the counsellor and I am hopeful. Gave him the ultimatum and he grabbed it. Seems almost 23 yrs mean lots to him too. Lots to fix and recover, but love is still there. wish us luck.....

now back to our regularly scheduled programming.....start stitching......
