"My husband is bipolar." (sayaprayer)

MDJunction to me

"All I can say is that this has been the best place ever. It has been six to seven months since I joined, and I have learned so much. I now believe in myself and accept myself on a completely different level. The people on MDJunction has been so supportive and accepting that I have been able to adopt it into my personal life. That has reduced a lot of stress in my life. Thanks to all." (bunnyfly)

Norma.....you are so funny

Well, ended up sending the kiddos out to play. The ex showed up, just cuz he felt like it, but luckily he was acting somewhat normal today. My 12 year old went to the park with her friends, and when I picked her up, found out that she kissed a boy......had to bite my tongue on that one. At least she told me......well, it was more like I knew she was lying when I asked her if she kissed any boys there, and she rolled her eyes while laughing and said no. Dead give-away. Lol.

Hope everyone is having a good evening!!

hi, imjustme-haven't met you but have read several of your posts and you are so upbeat! i know you're feeling manic, but you're still really optomistic. yay! you're a great addition to this site. thanks for sharing with all of us.

hi, norma and anyone else around...

Well behaved women rarely make history.

Thou canst not disturb a flower without the troubling of a star...from "Troubling a Star", by Madelaine L'Engle...we all affect one another by our words and actions...it is our choice whether to do so purposefully and positively, or carelessly and hurtfully...may we all bring to one another the peace that we seek...

"if you want others to be happy, practice compassion. if you want to be happy, practice compassion" the Dahli Laama
Peace-

Hey Y'all, evening, breakfast was fine except for wanting to smack the mother a couple of times, went to her place to see what parts we were going to need for fixing the toilet, turns out it was just the flapper, for those that don't know what that is, it's the little rubber thing in the bottom of the tank that lowers and raises, for the water level for flushing, up for flushing down for filling the tank, took Glenn a hour to get into town to get it, and a minute to change it out..ahh, the joys of living in the country, then we brought our weed whacker, and whacked her lawn for her, some places there you can't get to with a mower, every muscle in my body hurts.. heading to bed for some rest, have work in the morning.. see you later..

Nighty nite Carmen!!

Norma, I know what you mean.....parenting should've come with a book, along with a trouble-shooting guide. I'm trying to avoid being the overbearing, have to know every move they make, parent, and let them enjoy a little freedom(which I didnt have), but I have no clue sometimes where to draw the line. I know that if your kid thinks you are their friend, thats a bad thing....and if they hate you, that's not always a bad thing. I pray I make it through the teen years without dying from worry!

Hey there Carmen... I understand you have a nurse at home...lol We went over to the Mothers and whacked her yard and fixed her toilet... then we came home and I stripped down my poor bike... but I'll be rinding it before the week is out... fortunately I had a new set of bars from another bike that fits... so that was the biggest hurdle to make it ridable... But I got to tell you, my hurting factor is at the 9.5 level, but getting better... think I did too much in one day...lol Ya'll take care and we'll catch ya on the flip side...

Glenn back in the saddle soon!!! :0)

I am who I am, but I am trying to get better.
