Thanks Trudy. When K-Bug called I told her I wished I had a way to make it all better, but that I was barely holding on as it was. I said that we each needed to find a way to make it through the next ten minutes, then the next hour, then the day - and things would find a way to be better.
Who knows if that makes sense to a teenaged brain. Not sure if it makes sense to my 37 year old brain, but it was all I could come up with.
Then about 15 minutes after that my mom called me to find out what was up with DH, so I had to break the news to her. She bitched at me for keeping her "uninformed" and then bitched about having to buy new milk since it didn't get put away.
Love being in the middle.
You'll find your way through it.
(heavens KNOWS how)
holy heck are all those babies in their halloween gear the just the cutest evah. EVAH! I gotta figure out how to get me one...
MARIA! Congratulations on the house buying! Both of the houses you linked to are within 3 miles of my brother and sister-in-law's house. If you want some info on the area let me know and I'll get you in touch with them. They've lived in Frederick for ... oh 7 or 8 years now and they really love it. It's true the houses in the suburby part of town are kind of cookie cutter but it's an easy and lovely walk/ride to the pretty charming downtown at least.
She bitched at me for keeping her "uninformed" and then bitched about having to buy new milk since it didn't get put away.
Would dumping the milk-of-dire-import on her head be an option? I mean, if ones SIL gets laid off, that seems like a reasonable time to ease back on the bitching.
Thank you, Laura! I have no exciting plans except getting a haircut.
I think teenagers, particularly sharp ones like K-Bug, can be remarkably resilient if you level with them about what's going on.
Happy Birthday Ginger!

Suzi, I'm wishing you a moment to breathe today, a little peace in the storm, and a little clue-sticking for the other adults in the house.
I forgot to comment on the houses. They're both nice, though my preference was for the one with 4 bathrooms. Go Maria! You'll soon be a real citizen. Someday I will be too, I hope.
This is getting ridiculous. Now one of the programs at work is not working because Corporate has messed with our server connections.
CALGON, TAKE ME AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!
Maidengurl, I'm vibing hard for better things for you in a hurry.
It is hitting a point now where it is so bad I can't even cry anymore. It is either laugh at my life or completely crumble and crumbling is not an option.
There are good things - the kids are healthy. I'm healthy - at least physically. School is going alright - this class that I had been dreading is not as workload heavy as I had anticipated (I know, I just jinxed myself there). I do have friends who care, I just need to reach out to them - not something I do well.
