Traci,

I feel your pain about Mark.... I hope it gets better. I totally agree with you on the not trying to be his friend or pal - I think kids get away with too much these days, for that exact reason.

My son (11) comes home next Saturday (the 20th). I'm so excited to see him as it's been 2 months, but expect somewhat of an attitude because he's been with his dad and extended family - where he (I'm sure) has been spoiled rotten! It usually only lasts for a day or two and may not even happen because we'll be moving 4 days after he gets back so it'll be a whirlwind of events.

Good luck to you and hang in there!

Thank you so much Meaghan. I was actually thinking about you this evening, while I was at the east county meeting. I was wishing you had been there. I am jut thankful that we had the opportunity to meet face to face.

I hope your reunion with your son is everything you hoped it would be. I hope your job and move will be all that you expect it to be. A new life to go with the new you. How awesome is that? You are a wonderful woman, and I love you very much and wish you only happiness and success.

Thank you so much for all your words of encouragement. You will never know how much they mean to me.

Traci-

Right back at ya!!!

Thanks so much - I think the move will be a great thing...I know it can be no worse than where I'm at now, so I'm really going to dig in and make the best of it. Being in a house again will be a world of difference and a new job (with actual work to do) will be fabulous....it's been beyond boring going to work for 9-10 hours a day with only an hour or so of work and no internet!!! I do much better when I'm loaded down with work.

Thanks so much for your love and support - you mean the world to me and I am rooting for you and yours for a happy road in the near future!!!

I'm not going anywhere on this board - so at least we can stay in contact!

JohnsWife4Life · 08-11-2005, 09:42 PM

Absoloutely!

I know that once in a great while I will have a slow night at work, and honestly the night just drags by. When I am over loaded the night zips by in a few minutes. Nothing worse than a job that moves slow. Especially when you are tired.

I would expect you to keep up with the board here, and truly you aren't that far. I love it up there, and with a new car, may find reason to go visit my sister in Washington, and you would be right on the way. I would need to go potty and have a drink. Maybe ya have a Coffee Bean near by, or Starbucks if we have to. Or, yeah, I make a mean frappuccino by myself. Have blender, will travel!

Anytime Traci - you are more than welcome any time!

My mom has a cabin up in Port Angeles, WA that she's in the process of fixing up... her father built it years ago and now she's decided to use it as a get away. Washington is so beautiful, really reminds me of NC and the cabin is right on the Pueget Sound so it's great being on the beach.

JohnsWife4Life · 08-12-2005, 08:02 PM

WOW! Sounds like a great get away. I am ready to get away right now. Mark has such an attitude. His homework for tonight was to spend time with his family. I wanted to go to Rubio's for dinner, instead of cook, they have great beans, and real cheap too. He is throwing a fit right now, so I guess I will finish later. I am heading up to Lancaster to work this week end, and I just may not freakin come home. I am just about at the end of my rope with him.

I saw my psych today, she increased my prozac. She said since I had great sex yesterday and today that maybe the side affects are decreasing and she would rather not change my medication. She also said she didn't think I had bi polar and if I did it was type 2, if any other type it would have worsened with the prozac. So I guess I am going for round two.

Ill chirp on ya later girlie. Have a good weekend, and enjoy your last night alone!

Just wait until he gets to come home and give you a great big hug....he is going to feel a skinnier mom and see a new Hot tattoo!!! I am sure he will be soooo happy to see you.

Meaghan · 08-13-2005, 05:11 PM

Thanks Dale and Traci!

I can't wait to see him next Saturday!!! He will get a shock when he comes home as I'm packing....ugh!!! I was really spoiled when I moved out from the east coast, as my company paid to have me professionally packed and moved...this is killing me!! Almost done with the kitchen - I have way too much stuff!!!

JohnsWife4Life · 08-14-2005, 10:32 AM

Oh you still have a week left. ENJOY. I am up in Lancaster working,another three nights in a row.LOL, I make 420.00 a night here, and that is low, but I still wonder sometimes if it is worth it! I did babies last night, so I was happy, but man, not knowing from one night to the next what unit I will be on makes me tied up in knots sometimes. Then I can't get to sleep so I driving to work tired. Even without my kids here I cannot sleep.

Good luck finishing up the packing. I am still packing this house too. Small doeses. I have all the time in the world.

Meaghan · 08-14-2005, 06:22 PM

This packing seems endless Traci! Plus the fact that I keep sidetracking myself (like getting on line for one!). I've only got till the 24th and will be working through the 19th, so I need to get it done! Plus I want to take Gabe to Disneyland one last time next Sunday....

I imagine it would be crazy to not know what you're going to be doing at work from day to day! Babies sound the best though - it would just break my heart to see them suffering at all.
