I have a little time before James & I go do some running around before work.

Susan--Make up day?? What the ****? That man is just something else isn't he? About Rocky...sorry he won't be able to come until August. Nana sure has a hold on him.

Mindee--Your birthday party for little one sounds like it's going to be a memorable fun time!! Can't wait to hear about it afterwards.

Jane--Hope you're feeling better soon!! Hugs your way!! (((HUGS)))

Terri--I loved what your son said!! That is so cute!! You ought to write that down and then do a scrapbook page on it!!

Katy--I'm wanting to go and get both mine and Jhanai's photos done. I was thinking mothers day but I may wait until this summer when she's out of school and i have more time w/her.

Cristi--I'm glad V had a wonderful birthday!! Happy Birthday to V!!! James turns 30 next month on the 5th....already got his birthday gift...a PSP. That man is spoiled!


Sorry that my post is short...but I need to get going. You all have a wonderful Tuesday!

La La La..........the wonderful day that Mike is cranking - ummm, I mean cracking. lol

wooo hooo, what a nasty man he is ......

His ex called at 8:55 am - she was already up and about. Geesh.....I called her back and she says "have you talked to Mike?"
Me: No
Her: Will she had just called him and he answers in a angry voice "what do you want?!?!"
Her:It is me, ______
Him: I know who it , what do you want???

lol

She was just trying to talk about their daughter. She just hung up saying "your daughter needs things!"

So, we try and figure out why is he so mad? I just said maybe he was tired from all the work he is doing and not reporting?? lol.......or maybe she says he has been up all weekend doing drugs and is coming down from his high??

Where I mention he was so gung ho on Thursday to make a settlement and play nice- so eager to see their daughter the next day. Oh, she said....he changed his mind and decided not to come in to get her after all.

I got home from taking Gaby to the sitter and there is a copy of the compliance agreement. Stating the 50 monthly payment is based on 0 income.
Pissed me off. I called the child support divison and said "I want it recorded that he does have income and he has not reported it and your office hasn't done anything to investigate where his income is coming from."

I called him and said I just got a copy and that the 0 income statement was false. He does work. He said he wasn't going to talk about his life with me, just about Gaby.
I said............child support is about Gaby. Also the car seat he is using needs to be replaced, she is overweight for it.He said he would be doing that when I gave him it to use a few weeks ago.

He said "screw you, you are the most screwed up woman I know. Stay out of my business!"

Me : This is about Gaby , Mike.

Him: F you......

Me: Oh, wait .....one more thing! I will send her with a few pull ups but you might want to buy her some.

Him: Don't send her with clothes or pull ups.

Me: No,the order says I have to send clothes but the pull ups you need to take care of......

Him: F you

Me: My goodness......._______ did say you were cranky this morning.

Him: F you......and he hung up.

Nut..........something is wrong.

Best get!! lol

It sure turned cold here today, but I got the walk in just the same. Funny how once I get started it gets easier and easier.
I made veggie soup and home made biscuits today. I always make a double batch of biscuits for DH and he has them 2 at a time until they are gone. Tomorrow I will make him cornbread and he can make that last for a few days. I don't like cornbread and can pass on the biscuits with no trouble. My downfall is not real food...it is junk! Real food I can portion out and do okay. Love that junk food, especially salty snacks. I am a goner!

Marti and Anita- I forgot to tell you that your daughters are beautiful. Thank you for sharing the pictures.

Jane- I hope you feel better soon. Hate a Spring cold!

Cristi- Sounds like a great birthday for V. I want to see that movie as Sandra Bullock is one of my favs.

Susan- Did I mention that I have an ex SIL that your Mike reminds me of? He is just nutso...without the drugs.

Going to visit the DBL tomorrow afternoon and take him some cornbread. He thinks he will be in re-hab for another month. I hope that is all.
Thursday I have plans to go with mom and my aunt to a craft fair/flea market.
Friday we finally have another appointment with the builder for our estimates. Hoping for good news! DH got started on setting up his workshop today so he was as happy as ever. (he actually forgot to stop for dinner and I had to go pull him away) He already has a project lined up to make mom a sofa table. He spent two nights drawing it all up and it is going to be so pretty. I wish I had his talent.

Hello all JL's and where are the MIA's? Goodbye for now.

Katy: That is good that everyhting went well for the laparoscopy. I think that they look at the outside of the uterus anyway? They cauterized my endometriosis, and after they did that i got pregnant within 6 months.. i think when you have endo. it is a disease so the body sends all sorts of antibodies to kill it.. which will then kill sperm..Lol yes Nolan comes out with some good ones!!

Cristi: I will find the links and post them again. I actually entered that little story to readers digest.. they have a section for things kids say.. if they publish it i will get 200 dollars!! Heres to hoping.. If i do get it i want to get the kids some outdoor toys.. they have nothing to play on outside.. maybe a swing set?

Suetalks: I have the same problem with salty snacks... they are killing me, especially potatoe chips... arggggggggggggg

Susan: wow what a nut!! just confrims my suspicions about the opposite sex.. most are just self-absorbed little boys, and if things dont benefit them, or they have to think about someone else they get perturbed... I know i sound bitter but every one i have been with is that way.. including My husband... soon to be ex if he doesnt smarten up.. Last night i went to go help out some friends with their computer.. they are from belgium so they dont speak english very well, they dont know much about computers and they were having a hard time, so i volunteered to go help them out.. I left at 4, and they had more problems then i thought, so i was on the phone with the help desk and i got off and the power went out..(at 5:30) so i had to wait until the power came on to do anything.. so i went to look at their new barn, they were showing me all the pigs and such.. then at 7 i get a call (at the barn no less) it was DH yelling at me that he was hungry and i needed to get to the store for gas before it closed at 7:30. So i hung up came home got gas, put the kids to bed at 8 and was going back to finish what i started.. Well then i got yelled at again.. dont be all night i am going to bed and i am not listening if the baby gets up!! wowsers, i thought when i grew up i didnt need a father anymore!!!! So i got home at 10:30, (i still wasnt done) but i just let the defragmenter going and i showed them how to close it.. It had never been done!!! yikes no wonder they were having problems... Anyway the lady called this morning and she couldnt get the internet to connect, and asked me if it still didnt work later on if i would just go check it out.. I said of course!! i cant leave their computer not working... I am scared to tell hubby though... i really dont want to be yelled at again tonight. Aww well sob story done..sorry

Marti: HEllo hope you arent running yourself sick!!

Jane: Hope you are feeling better soon!!

Hello to everyone else have a good day !!!

Hi ladies,

Hope everyone is well. I didn't post yesterday and really should have because I could have used the support. BAD, BAD food day. I ate lots of crap food and was rewarded with a really nice case of heartburn. The reason? I had a fight with my hubby yesterday morning, and I am sure I was just eating out of anger. Both of us are trying to adjust to me being back at work, and Joycelyn had been waking up frequently during the night (teething AND a little separation anxiety we think) Today is much better so far. I managed to get a full 7 1/2 hours sleep, and am feeling much more in control, and DH and I made up .

JANE Sorry to hear you are ill, I hope you feel better soon.

TERRI I finally got the chance to look at your pictures. your kids are so cute, and funnily enough, you look amazingly like a friend of mine's daughter.

SUSAN
I'm sorry, but from everything you've written about Mike, the only conclusion that I can come to is he's pyscho. Plain and simple. Bless your heart for having to deal with his bull, because Lord knows, I would have gone postal on his *** by now.

ELLENHelllloooooo Out there!!!! Hope you are well. Check in when you can sweetie.

To everyone else I've missed. Got to get back to work now.

TTFN

Hello ladies and Happy Hump Day~

Susan~you should have recorded the conversation, geez, sounds like Mike was having a bad day! I think I would definitely record everything from now on. I still can't believe they actually let him see Gaby-definitely doesn't sound like he's a stable person.

Marti~V is spoiled also and he spoils me. The funny thing is while at the mall he bought me a gift for my BD/Anniversary. Of course I don't get it till then and I told him not to buy me anything else that that was more than enough. So James will be the big 3-0 next month huh? Oh, to be that young again. Okay, call me goofy, but what is a PSP?

Jane~hope you are feeling better today.

Terri~thanks for the link! Couldn't access Babies Online though but what I showed DD she loved-your little Emma is adorable!

Sue~it's cold here also. Was loving the warm weather regardless of the wind blowing hard. Today it is only supposed to be 58 but feels a lot colder with the wind. I think you will like the movie if you go. The craft fair/flea market sounds fun!

Anita~glad you feel better after getting the sleep and making up with the hubby. I too eat out of anger sometimes, not sure why because I am not hurting anyone but myself but I do it anyway.

Hi to everyone else

Well, did the Wal-mart thing this morning. I am getting to where I soooo dread grocery shopping-not sure why. Sometimes though it just seems like such a chore. At least I didn't have to get too much this week-still think it took about the same amount of time. Have another errand to run in about an hour so will miss chat. I swear I am going to shock you ladies one day by showing up. Anyway, hope everyone is having a swell day! Take care all

Hello ladies--

Susan--Sheesh!! What in the world?! I am so sorry that you have to deal w/someone like that. I too would record everything said. A let it be known to him that you are, and I'm sure he would still say crap like that! Hugs to you and little Gaby!!

Sue--I'm like you, salty snacks are deadly!! In fact, I had this terrible snack at work last night (I say snack since it wasn't much of a lunch) I had a cheesecake brownie and a bag of chip and washed it down w/chocolate milk!! Talk about the shame I felt!! But of coarse I kept on munching that down. (need to work out extra on the Gazelle)

Terri--I sure hope that your DH figures out that being a daddy is a responsibility for BOTH parents!! I was a bit shocked to read his comment about going to bed and not waking up if she crys. I hope things cool off for you. I went to look at your photos again. Such cute kids!!

Anita--Glad that you and DH made up. Adjusting to a work schedule is difficult on everyone, especially for the baby. Heck it's even hard on us mommy's!! Being w/out our little ones while we're at work is so tough!

Cristi--James would spoil me more if I let him. He says that I should get what ever I want...but how in the world am I suppose to save if I did that? As for the PSP...it's a PlayStation Portable. A hand held video game. Kind of like a gameboy but much better. It's pretty much JUST like the Playstation2...plays video games, movies and music. James just showed me how he can connect to the internet! I'm thinking "Geez, that's a busy little contraption!"

Hello to all the other gals out there!

I've got to hit the showers and then clean up around the house. Seems James love to bake, but doesn't like to do the dishes afterwards!!

I may check in later if I have some time.

Good Morning!!!

Another awesome day!!!! lol

So, the next chapter is titled " He really *gulp* loves you, thats why all the BS"

So, Mike called at 11pm last night to say he was sorry ( awww, what good manners ) for how he acted earlier in the day.

I said "whatever, sorry means nothing to me"

Can't remember word for word. The jest is he is "bagging" it down at the coast and wants to move back to Portland......to go to baseball games and be a part of the kiddies life. (all together now.......Awwwwwww, what a guy!)

He asked again if we could go to counseling?? We were doing so well when we were going before. Until you lied , I said. lol.....he said "we both lied" CLICK went the phone , I ain't listening to his mind playing games.

He called back and said he didn't want it ending on me hanging up on him. Oh, but saying F you is ok?

He said I might scoff at this but he still had feelings for me (pssssst, who would have thought a custody battle was really a love story gone amok?? )

Silly me, should have seen it sooner - lol........I really do think this has nothing to do with Gaby but him wanting control of me. Nut.......

Anyway, it wasn't a long conversation. I said no to counseling, yes to me having sole custody, yes to Gaby having his last name and yes to him having the visitation. What about my moving he said?? I said I would agree to a 90 day notice.

He really has a hard time with this he said......... can't we all just get a long?? whaaaaa, whaaaaa.

Tough, I ain't backing down on being able to move.

Finally had it out with Rocky too, said I wasn't too keen on being behind baseball season. Until he finally said he just couldn't afford to come over twice. He is coming in late July to escort his son home from California........he will try and see if he can come sooner.

Fine......not going to argue with him, he has been a sweet man.

Sorry you are getting yelled at Terri HUGS to you!!

best get.....

Back for just a few minutes...

Marti~I figured it was Play Station something, just couldn't figure out the last P! Are you going to do anything special for the 30th? Anyway, hope it didn't come off as I was bragging because I wasn't. And I didn't mean that V spoils me with material things, he spoils me in other ways. But do know what ya mean about not being able to save if buying everything a person ever wanted.

Terri~sorry, I missed that DH was yelling at ya. ((HUGS))

Susan~WOW!!! Seems like Mike is getting worse and worse. Seriously girly, I would tape all conversations with him. (((HUGS))) to you also. You and little miss Gaby shouldn't be having to go through this crap.

Did anyone make chat? I was trying to get back early to check in but this was the earliest. Maybe I will try tomorrow night if my shows are reruns.

Anyway, hope everyone is having a good day.

I am alive and well.....
Susan, oh how sweet of Mike to treat you like that and use the feelings thing...sorry buddy learned that trick awhile back.
Terri glad to know hubby and you made up....
and like you have had my endrometritis cauterized,,,forget what the surgery was called was a distant memory now...
Cristi, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to VINCE!
Jane, Brandon goes shopping for a tux this week,,,he graduates June 1st. And then has surgery June 30th,,,confirmed yesterday. Yuck!
Hello to everyone else!
Iolanthe is over,,,Whewwwwww! Partied hard after,,,to the point of being sick,,,duh very shamed to say I had 3 shooters and within 5 minutes threw them up...and after the 4th day still have the sore ribs to prove it. How dumb ,,,Im old enough to know better...
and as pathetic as this is,,,Ive already started my LAST play. Im just props and makeup this time around...easier. I need 20-25 limbs,,,a swaddled baby, 12 helmets and swords. A head on a pike, fake break, Duck and Lamb. and of course a blow torch....lol I know what your thinking,,,what am I doing? Pippin,,,btw ,,,did anyone see AI last week? I don't know who of the guys sang one of the Pippin songs but thats what Im doing now,,,plus Im taking up soap making,,,end of the month is a class and will learn how to make body butter and scrub...say body butter fast 3 times...lol I couldn't...lol
anyways life is good, Tanner and I have started at the gym again....since he has tobe in a body stocking at the end of Pippin hes worried about his pooch showing too much...this froma 12 yr old boy.
well Im still waiting for Sears guy to show...over a week. Thing is I told them I worked till 1:30 so please can I have him come over after...ya right,,,he showed up at 10...so I got bumped,,,,I complained when I called again...jerk. Thinks he can keep me away from clean uderwear? HA
well I should get cleaning,,,
toodles

Would it be like "pulling my chain??".....lol.

Keep me all in a tizzy , not knowing how he is going to be?? sheesh......he is so unstable. I cringe at Gaby being anywhere near the man.

Honestly Cristi, I don't think he is getting worse and worse. I just think he can cover up for so long. He has always been skitchy- lol......

Will think about taping him. Wouldn't I have to tell him that I tape our conversations? If I ever want to use it in court , that is.....or I can just tape for my own enjoyment...lol........when I get lonely at night I can play his sweet nothings and sooth myself to sleep,,,,,lol

Hee haw......geez, I think I am stuck at 150,.......tripping all over my office furniture.......had to go look up psycho. Insane, crazy.....paranoid. I always knew he was very paranoid,drugs have done that.

4 more annuals!!! So glad....

chat later.............

Susan, check up your laws in your state about privacy act...in Canada we can tap our phones if we are one of the two people talking on the phone. If you were tap His phone then that is over stepping the privacy thing....

And I'm back again!

Angie~good to see you checking in lady! We know how busy you are tho. I hate when service people do that. Like the cable or phone company-they say they will be there between such and such time, can't give you a definite time. HUH! Well, glad that Brandon isn't having his surgery till after graduation. Not glad that he has to have it because I can only imagine the pain the poor guy has to endure. (((HUGS))) to him. WTG on joining the gym!

Susan~yeppers, drugs and alcohol will do that to a person. My mother just told me when I was in AR that my oldest sis is losing it-very paranoid, thinking her ex is after her. It really is sad but I do think it was the drugs and alcohol over the span of many, many years that ate up her brain. Not sure what will happen to her because she refuses help from anyone. I do think you would have to tell Mike that you were taping him, not neccessarily bug his phone, but I just meant get a little tape recorder and tape him that way. Hey, maybe if he knows he is being taped all the time he will straightening his arse up! Anyway, he needs to grow up for Gaby's sake and be a responisble, caring father or walk away.

Anyway, guess I will get going. Was watching a movie on Lifetime, a little lost tho because I didn't see it from the beginning. Want to read a couple of magazines and the newspaper. See ya

Hey Cristi -

He started using when he was 17 years old, he will be 50 this June. When he was married he was using needles. He has claimed to have Hep C, but who knows. His ex says he has never been tested, he just likes to feel sorry for himself. Though he had a yellow tint and looked very thin the last time I saw him.
Also when he does this " I am going to move in to get closer to the kids " thing it just means something has gone wrong where he is at.

Such a pain. I have asked him before to give up his parental rights but he said no.....

chat later

HI there

in for a late night stop... I missed chat again darnitall... i was back at teh neighbours fixing the comp... i just brought the baby this time.. didnt feel like getting yelled at..
Angie: i think it was anita that made up with her hubby not me lol.... I am still mad.. he is sick today.. men are such babies when they are sick!! I might feel sorry for him if i wasnt so mad at him.

Susan: I think i would go psycho if i had to leave my child with that man.!!! And about the control thing i think you are right on about that.. when nolan was a baby and i lived on my own.. if his dad knew i had plans to go out he would call and say that he couldnt take him.. so i would have to stay home.. men are like that

well good night everyone.. just popped in to say hi and saw all teh posts!!!! YAY!! good to see everyone(almost) out and about.. TTFN xxoo
