Hello everyone, I hope you are all having a wonderful Saturday.
I was planning on getting ready to leave for the shelter on Thursday and leave on Friday. However, on Thursday morning, about 3am, I woke up with a horrible stomach bug, I couldn't sit up for more than five minutes without getting sick, and all of the coughing/gagging was causing contractions, so I had no choice but to stay in bed until yesterday evening. I'm feeling better now. Today I'm going to do all of the boys' laundry and start packing their things. I'm also getting some of my things together. I was going to wait until I got the certified copies of their birth certificates, but those can be taken care of, they were born in the town we live in, so I should be able to handle that on a day off of work, no big deal. I also have to get copies of a couple of other of papers, but I'm not going to wait on that either. I just need to go. Everyone is telling me to go, my therapist, my best friend. In fact, on Wednesday, my best friend and I went out to dinner after my therapy appointment (my therapist told me to talk to a friend, tell them my reasons for staying, and see what they say; most of the reasons are pretty ridiculous!!). We went to a chinese resturaunt and this was my fortune: 'A journey must begin with a single step.' How appropriate!!! LOL!
Anyhow, I'm seriously considering leaving this afternoon or tonight. I'm not sure what to tell H. He goes to work at noon and won't be home until 11pm or later. I don't want him to think we've been kidnapped or something and call the police. What should I do about that? Any suggestions anyone has for me in this huge venture are more than welcome!!!! Thanks for all of your support!!!! *hugs* Samantha
Also, here's a picture of my boys! I just got a digital camera and have been taking pictures like a crazy woman! haha! The three-year-old is Spencer, the 20-month-old is Benji. Thanks for looking!!



Awesome Pic!

Oh! They are TOO CUTE!
& that fortune cookie ... GREAT!
I say leve while you have the nerve & the chance. You can leave him a simple note maybe "we are ok, but we can no loner live in this situation. I will be in touch". Period.
BEST of luck - be strong & keep us updated!
