GOOD MONDAY MORNING, BUDDIES!

Welcome to another windy day in Elkton.  I think the winds of March must have arrived early this year!


So, how was your weekend?  Did you find time to relax and enjoy life?  Did you treat yourselves well?  My weekend was nice.  J and Dan had lots of work to do this weekend, so we didn't plan too much group fun.  We did watch Hitch on TV on Saturday.  It was pretty cute.  I called my mom yesterday - which I always enjoy.  I caught some of the Oscars last night, and I'm thrilled because we've actually seen two of the movies that won awards!  (Usually we don't see them until years later.  Yay for the $1 movie box!)


Is everybuddy ready for a brand new week of losing?  Got everything you need?  Water?  Exercise already on the schedule?  Healthy groceries in the house?  Let's make this a loser of a week!


Happy Monday!


((((HUGS))))- Karen

So far, the job is good. No real office yet (i will have two whn everyone figures out what's going on with me LOL). Getting a laptop and cell, so will be mobile and movable. That's all I know. The training this morning has involved going over everything that has filtered through my last office (and through me). LOL They really have no idea what I'd been doing here for 11 months. heeheee

I hear ya about the weekend, I cant believe its over for me. I'm really not ready to go back to school tomorrow. But if I want to graduate I guess I have to go.

I hope you had a good first day at your new job. You deserve to have the best life can give.

Thanks so much for the hug and advice. I have had a lot of time to think today and not to mention gotten some wonderful advice from some really great people. I understand that I dont have control on what others do but I do have control over how it makes me feel. I guess that the thing that pissed me off the most was the lack of respect for Mike and myself. Right now I dont care if she pops 15 kids out, we just wanted some respect. I now know that this something that will never happen so in return she will not get any from us. I have made the choice to just cut them out of our lives. The only reason I really had anything to do with her was because of Mikes mom but now that she has shown us just as much disrespect as his sister has I really dont care if we have anything to do with her. I hate to say that but I cant keep worrying about her and her problems. I am going to focus my energy elsewhere just like you said I should do. I have such a wonderful life and I thank God everyday that I have it. Mike and I have also made some decisions as far as our property, money and guardianship of Angel goes. I have been to my brothers and sil's house this evening asking if they would take guardianship of Angel and see that our property and money is taken care in such case something happens to us. I never worried about it before because I knew that everything would go to Mikes mom but now I dont want that, I want someone I can trust to take care of things the way we want. They will be thinking about it and getting back with me.

Well I'm sorry I have talked your ear off but what you and everybuddy else has said has made me see things clearer. I feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends. Take care buddy!
