right now, dh found a ride for dh, and DD and I will drive up, like I thought we could NOT do (dh needs a car to drive the scouts to the river, they are doing a river trip) he begged, its taking 3 people to pitch in so dd and I will have a car to drive up on Thurs am (its a 6 hr drive, and ds have thurs off, so I love to take them to dinner and just listen and watch my boys... they are grown! which made me cry!! I hate missing watching my kids!! I must be really hormonal!!) Now I have to find someone to watch Guinea Pigs this weekend, and during Disney, so far we have 4 "no's"!! let the people say "AMEN"!! *grin

Right now, I am still in shock...but when it wears off, I am going to bawl my eyes out. We just returned home after being gone for two whole weeks. While we were gone hubby's good friend lost the lease on the house he was renting (he was given 30 days notice to move out because the landlord's daughter wanted to move in). Well, the 30 days were up while we were away. Hubby is a very good friend...if I wasn't married to him, I would definitely want him for my friend. He told his friend who is a mechanic that he could bring some of his cars to our place and park them on this cement slab we have in the back of our acreage. (It would probably hold six or seven cars). We got a phone call this morning while we were on the road, from our daughter who was beside herself....just sobbing! Apparently the friend also dropped off his two dogs...and one of the dogs *******DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU ARE AT ALL SENSITIVE T0 ANIMALS******* was eating our cat!!! And another cat is missing!! I got her all calmed down...but would not let myself digest this. Finally we drove into our driveway tonight to discover there must be at least 20 cars in our yard...along with various other piles of junk...including a large flatbed trailer loaded with furniture parked in our driveway! It looks like a garbage dump!!! I was so distressed and expressed my displeasure, but I could see the disappointment on hubby's face...so I kept quiet. I know it's not his fault and he is upset also. Like I said...I am still in shock...and when it hits ....I know it's going to hit hard and I am going to bawl like crazy. I just can't wrap my brain around it right now. Poor hubby went out to mow the lawn...that is the lawn he could find! What a crappy ending to a great vacation! I wanted to just turn around and head back to RG's resort!

Spitfire...don't leave us!! If you have no computer at home, please visit the library often so you can use their computers to contact us (that's what I did while mine was busted so I know it works ) Have a wonderful maternity leave and a beautiful life with your new baby. Many positive thoughts are being sent your way, too.

aw spit.... Congratulations on your baby, immenent motherhood! and please check those libraries, and mom's puters!! Can mom post a pic of that baby? {{{hugs}}} and Mary I was so speechless with your post last night - and still am today... I'm thinking about what Jan said... "no good deed goes unpunished" it should be no one taking advantage of someones generous heart and spirit should go unpunished! and its so blatantly obvious - hope he doesnt further the insult by manipulating you, and let us grill him on the loss of your precious pets...

Mary, I cannot imagine anything worse.. I could list a hundred issues from what you wrote, but I've bottomed out with the one about the cats. It all sucks and you don't deserve one bit of it, you or hubby either.

Right now I am feeling kind of down about what happended with Mary. I am assuming it is the friend you mentioned while you were up at RG's place. I know you will get through this, you are just that kind of a person.

Yeah, I have to admit, I'm traumatized by Mary's story RIGHT NOW.. But, Mary, much as it makes me queasy and sad-sick, I'm glad you shared it.. more of us to "witness" what you are going through. And Spitfire, I wish you a satisfying and joyful year of maternity leave!!

{{{{{mary}}}} how awful. and what a pickle for your husband to be in, doing a favor for someone and having this happen. spit, do find a computer to come on and visit us! we'll need to see pics of baby, too! right now, ds's apartment was rented back out, so we should get most of his deposits and part of july rent back. he is going to san diego in a day or two to check things out. i still wish he weren't going so far from home, and he has a lot of friends within an hour of our house, but he insists san diego is just what he needs. let's pray it is. dd called on her way back to west roxbury from the cape last night. she went tubing and out to dinner and had a ball with the young cousins at their summer home in hyannis. i am so glad she got to go and visit her brother's bio family! she is calling ds's grandparents 'grandpa' and 'grandma', so i am guessing she fits right in! when she told a story of one of the kids, she didn't say, "his grandpa laughed", she said, "and grandpa laughed". that makes me feel good to know they all accept each other. dd has never felt ds is a 'half brother' and having his bio family accept her as their own is super!! i worked 13 hours yesterday and will be working at least 6 hours for 8 of the next 9 days. if i can come up for air, i'll try and come to the clubhouse to see what's happening. thank God for tess's tales and all the marvelous updaters; often, it's all i have time to read to keep me in the loop.

Right now, we're at 182 votes, 3rd place. As much as I like to see us move up in the poll, I kind of like our best kept secret status, too. Right now, I'm telling myself I don't have any stress from our visiting DD's drama/irresponsibility/problem/priorities today, but I know I'm lying to myself. The stress is just under the surface, waiting to attack me later. Right when the temp drops a couple more degrees, I am going to treat myself to a destressing walk with happy music in my CD headphones. (If that doesn't help, I'll head over to the other thread for a TVCH therapy session.)
