Oops, I didn't mean to steal the thread. :o I was just happy about Mom's news. Feel free to continue to post your positives! I've really enjoyed reading all of the good things in everyone's life, big and small! Keep it up girls! :)

You are by no means stealing the thread Angie, we are all very very happy, and that needs to be celebrated. :ghug: I'm happy, i can share in your joy!

I agree whole heartedly :p

CELEBRATION TIME:bravo:

I have several positives today!

~I got to sleep in
~Brendon has been super sweet
~Marty has been the biggest cuddler EVER today :)
~I'm getting lots of good advice from all of my "moms" on 4wt
~6 days till Maddie!

positive for the day........I laughed before noon and soaking in a hot bubble bath as long as I wanted to.

My positives today are:

1. 2 more pups went to their new homes this morning and the families were really nice people. They were both so excited about getting their pups that they arrived early and stayed quite a while just visiting and playing with the whole litter.

2. I'm half done with my Christmas shopping and it's ALL paid in full, plus I have enough set aside to finish up without assuming any debt to get done. WHEW

3. My youngest has finally decided to enroll in college! She's decided she wants to be a counselor for troubled teens.

Yeeeeeeeeeeehawwwwwwwwwww!!!

I have a few more positives after checking the mail!

~The pictures for my family collage came today and I just finished putting it together!
~Marty's new clothes got here!!!

Positives for the day:

My daughter called me!!! I'm still in shock. I'm going to post a thread about it.

I am so happy, but I need my adrenalin to settle down.

Angie,
Aren't you going to post pix of the pix and the clothes?

Judy, what great news!!! I can't wait to read all about it!!! I am SO happy for you! YAY!!!!!! :ghug:

I will post pics soon. Hubby wanted to do a few other things before the "photo shoot"... silly boy!

Oh Judy, i am really very very happy for you, thats a WONDERFUL positive!

Ok... you girls have big positives, but thought ide share a few little ones of mine.

Chelsey won in 2 Halloween contests, on YT i posted the pic with a ciggy in her mouth, on the other site the mad GREEN rabbit pic. Soon as we found out, i told her SHE WON, she walked around swishing her little booty, Chanel did the booty dance for her, it was so freaking cute LOL

My second, and VERY IMPORTANT positive is, my son told my husband, and me on thursday night, that he would love to go back to playing drums!!!!!
He started playing when he was 10 years old, and stopped 2 years ago, he has played for the public a few times. He took private lessons, he really is an excellent drummer, and now a friend of his, has asked him to join hes band, they looking for a drummer, so he asked us what we thought about it.
On monday i'm enrolling him in for music school here in town, they give evening classes, my husband is looking for new drums for him, because i sold the ones he had.
He has such talent for this, we both told him to use hes talents, and never let them go to waste, he is now old enough to understand what we mean :)

Mandy, big or small, reading about the good things in your life (and the other ladies lives) really brings a smile to my face. That's why I love this thread. And besides, those aren't even small!!

Congrats to Chelsey and as for you son, how exciting!! You'll have to post a video of him playing. :)

Today's positives:
~I start taking the Seasonique today so hopefully that means less pain in the future.
~Brendon's dad is coming over today and his step-mom may be going to jail again. (This is DEFINITELY a positive. When she is home, she doesn't allow Brendon's dad or brother to have a relationship with him. They have to sneak around if they want to see him at all.)

Mandy - That is great news about Collin. You will have to take some pics of him banging away on those drums. :cool: Ya never know - we all might be buying a cd later when his band hits it big!!


Angie - Why is Brendon's step Mom possibly going to jail (again)? :confused:
I hope the new medi works wonders for you too! Pain free is definitely a good thing! :thumbup:

Sheryl, she is a VERY evil woman. She has done SO many things that she deserves to go to jail for...what she ACTUALLY went to jail for was embezzlement. Twice! The first time she stole $30,000 in checks from a church she worked for (and an undetermined amount of cash) and the second time, she stole over $1,000 from a car company she worked for. I don't know all of the details this time, but it seems she's up to the same stuff again. Brendon was thrilled when he found out. (Pretty sad, but she really needs to be kept away from his younger brother.)

I have been studying our justice system lately - I hope she gets some better rehab of some kind to straighten her out. Sounds like you all feel she is beyond hope. Have they tried psychiatric care?

If you had dealt with her, you'd feel she is beyond help as well. She practically tortured my husband when he was growing up. The things he's told me I shutter to even think about...

I believe you - no doubt - just know that she'll be out again sometime.

I knew a man who was evil incarnate - drug dealer, murderer - once I was looking at him, listening to him talk about something - and flames appeared in his eyes - I swear it! I looked over my shoulder but there was nothing there to reflect in his eyes, just blue sky. I looked back and the flames were gone. Really spooked me. (No, I don't do drugs and yes, I had plenty of sleep.)

I do believe humans can make hell on earth when they choose evil.

Conversely, I believe we can be angelic, heavenly - when we choose compassion, love, empathy - and you are one of those angels, Angie. You are making a piece of heaven for your husband. So glad he has you!:40:

Thanks Angie for explaining. I didn't wanna step on your toes or invade your privacy for asking. I was just sorta confused, LOL. (happens often) To give peace w/in Brendon and the family this might possibly be just what needs to happen.

She does sound like she's done some pretty amazingly wrong and hurtful things. Hopefully if she does go to that big ol slammer she will receive some needed help.

Got two new jobs today - a GRE student and writing white papers for a firm that is getting into organic foods. Pretty cool stuff!

My positive for the day.....I realized I am NOT insane!! :rolleyes: :) :D :p :cool:

Sheryl, haven't you ever heard that insane people think that they're sane and that sane people think that they're insane? So......what are you again?

My Dad had mental problems and it always came up when he was having problems that he "was not insane". Sure......that's why we had to talk in whispers so the hearing devices couldn't pick up our voices!!! And why every person walking down the street was a hit man!! I have some pretty interesting stories I could tell about my Dad. He was paranoid schizophrenic.

My positive for today is that my house is nice and clean because we had a church group over last night. I had cleaned and cleaned all weekend and now I get to relax and enjoy it!!! Yeah!!!!

Ok...now I'm freaked out again. CRAP! :D

You sound totally sane to me. I don't think sanity is all that great anyway! If you're hearing voices in your head, and they're making you laugh - well then. what the h?

No - seriously - why are worrying about your sanity? You really do sound perfectly normal.

Good news about the meds and good luck with them Angie! I'm sending you prayers that they work.

Diana, that is very exciting. My daughter sings and when she began teaching music, I was thrilled that she was using her gift.

My good news is that I'm going upstate Thursday morning and staying over until Friday. I'm going to drive around looking at some of the towns I'm thinking about.
I have to be there to get a feeling for it.

It will be fun to get away too!

HAH! Judy, exactly! I dont mind being insane one tiny bit, it doesnt hurt lmao

Sorry, Sheryl, I didn't mean to upset you!!!! You REALLY are sane as far as I'm concerned!! Really!!!!!!!......... You DON'T hear voices?...........Right?

Sheryl,

Are you there? Or are the voices singing to you?

LOL ~ Diana, no panic girl, she's all in for fun ;)

Hahahaha she's probably singing back to them :D

LOL. So many new posts since I was last here! You guys crack me up! Sheryl, you seem perfectly sane to me! (Well, other than the voices...) :p

Judy, I'll be up your way Friday and Saturday! :)

My positives: 4 days till Maddie! Marty got groomed today and looks OH so cute! I only had one class today. I register for next semester's classes soon and if all goes as planned, I will have ONLY Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday classes. A five day weekend every weekend is looking pretty good to me! :) Oh, and I'll still have 15 credit hours and it worked out so that I can do them all on 3 days. I love night classes!!!! :)

:sidesplit: :sidesplit: :sidesplit: :sidesplit: :sidesplit:

Oh my gosh Diana...No you did NOT upset me in the least. I was joking! That is why I put all the smily faces. Oh please no worries.

Of course I don't hear voices. LOL - i never said that. You were talking about your Dad hearing voices and whispering. Now watch...Now I might be starting to hear voices though, hahahahhaha (kidding)

Really - I was joking. Hugs!!! :p

I DON'T hear voices. Goodness ladies. ;)

It was a joke...that's all. As I told Diana and Angie, I am NOT hearing voices. :D
I'm not worrying about my sanity. Oh trust me, I've got issues just as we all do but really I am normal. Just normal....bummer cuz it could be interesting if I wasn't, LOL :p
