Because that man doesn't have a clue. If you gave him one he'd just stare at it until another nice set of legs walked by and then he'd be clueless again.

I feel you on this. I'm there too. "God has something better planned for you." Oh wait! Self acceptance and serenity is better than a relationship. Who'd-a-thunk-it? I'm getting my first dog today :) I haven't killed the gold fish or the house pla...

I don't get it either. I was with my ex for 10+ years... there's a reason it lasted that long, there's a reason I struggled so hard to end it, there's a reason I don't just send her letters through my lawyer. I picked her. She isn't who I want to ...

Oh, how there are branches on both sides of every tree! To answer your initial question, and I think you already know this answer. In general, people swing from one relationship to another because they are afraid to be alone. This is what results ...

Everything is black and white. It's the frequency and magnitude of the black and white changes that make you think you see gray. And I said before, I'm not judging... I'm just sayin. I've recieved some of the most influential advice from total st...

What's going on Kim is that we are learning the lessons that our grandparents learned in the 1930s, the ones that we forgot. The ones that are all over the book of Proverbs, the ones that call us to a higher wisdom and understanding of what it mea...

Honestly I started my response with suggestions and encouragement, and then along the way I relised that an intelligent man doesn't need my advice or anybody elses on this. Nobody told me that joining the local Y was a good idea for me to do it. I...

"Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors" Some dude named Matt stole that line from a Jew. Again you are missing my point. Whining doesn't solve your core issue. Debt is an abstract concept, noby is going to kill you, cook you, eat you, th...

first...i admitted i used to be the sinner. second...sometimes it's not that easy to find a "replacement" right at the exact moment i get fed up with a guy...and since i'm not the type to hang around with a guy just for the sake of not being alone...

ARE THERE NO SINNER'S ON THIS FORUM??? Come on... this "I'm pure as Ivory soap" BS is getting old as water and just as weak. Everybody has a PC answer for everything. When's the tea being served? (wink wink... but not really)

Punching In

I haven’t punched in for some time so I figured I might as well.

The past 2 months have been difficult but I’ve grown from the pain. The pain has been loneliness, and it’s been nailing me really hard in bed. I’ve been waking up at 3am and just absolutely losing it, having to meditate myself again into a relaxed state enough to sleep. Then waking up at my usual time feeling alone. One night it came on early, I was in the car with my kids, we were on our way home from a fellowship function and I… Continue

This more of a rant than a blog.

SO… I have been on a rollercoaster since Mother’s Day weekend. I’ve been battling depression and went to see a doctor who prescribed me an SSRI anti depressant. This made me feel like I was on acid. I was not okay with the feelings that came with the meds and I stopped taking it right away, however by a few days later I was depressed even more. A dead cat bounce I’ve been calling it (even a dead cat will bounce up if you drop it far enough). So I went back to the doctor and he put me on Welbutri… Continue

It's a Circus

Alas, No more morels. But there has been a flurry of animal activity on our pond. The frogs are chirping at night, the heron is out almost every day, we have two muskrats, a ground hog, a bunch of squirrels, 3 Canadian geese couples, as many ducks, both are having of already have babies. The GIANT snapping turtle that lives in our pond will enjoy that. Haley has made new friends in the neighborhood too. Wylie is a self-professed indoor kid.

I’ve been taking it all in, getting through life as it… Continue

God, why?

My daughter was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder yesterday afternoon (on top of her autism). She starts on anti-psychotics tonight, she's 10. Her behavior has been getting severe since she started her periods two months ago. I'm still in shock, I'm just trying to share it with the universe. I'm not sure yet what it's all about, how to feel, who to tell. What do I tell them, especially at school. There are regular blood draws she's going to have to have with these meds...

FUCK!!!!

The morel of the story

My kids and I went to the farmer’s market in Detroit today (Eastern Market) I do this every Saturday morning. We have breakfast at the same diner and my son always has a grilled cheese and fries, ha! This week we ran into my Aunt and Uncle. They live very close but we don’t have a really good relationship, they have a better one with my sister. Eh, anyway, it was good to see them. One of the stalls I always stop at is a guy who sells organic salad greens and mushrooms, he has all types of mushro… Continue

Just dropping by to check in on you and the kids... and Natalie also. Hugs to you my friend!

How was Chicago?

Oh happy day... I just saw your face online! I hope things are going well. Are the kiddos back in school?

Life was rolling along, and *smack*, the universe bopped me on the head. Oh well, I guess live and learn. It is hard working out this custody with the ex. I'm trying to be fair and make concessions, but it would be really nice for him to reciprocate. Now I am trying to coordinate the kids school schedule, my school schedule, therapy appointments, and Brownie activities... I know you can relate!

Natalie is beautiful... I stopped by to say hello, and see her picture! How is life treating you?
At 1:07pm on July 21, 2009, uomeasmile (Kim) said…
Well, it sounds like a mixed bag. I'm sorry things didn't turn out exactly as planned... but such is life. Personally, Natalie sounds like the perfect girlfriend! I'm glad to hear that is going well. You have inspired me... I'm going to take up that hobby. My goal is to make the kiddos Halloween costumes this year! Hugs and love, Kim

Good luck with court... you are in my heart and prayers! Let me know how it goes.
