Robyn, I'm so thankful today for having met you and A & L through your writings....
May your day be calm & peaceful and though the holiday dynamics are different this year, in your case, different is very good because the three of you are in safe and respectful place. So love, love, love on your wonderful kids!
Also I'm very thankful you're not seriously injured from your fall, thank God!
In between cooking and washing dishes, of course, checking cd...
I have Norah Jones playing and the DR is blocked off from the LR so they can hear the movie they are watching and he came in to the kitchen to 'see' me, and I grabbed him for a dance.
He towered over me as we danced, I told him he was such a tall young man, and he said thats why I am bending down, Mommy.
They are growing up so fast, seemingly before my eyes. L was very upset yesterday at kalos house. Nothing to do with anything, really, I dont think, besides her emotions coming to play, but when we got there, she was bff again with kalos girl M. L asked me when I went back to Ms bedroom why they always had to see daddys family and never my family.
Not going for Thanksgiving is upsetting for her, she talked to my sister this morning. Asked me earlier when we would see her again.
The music makes me smile, although some of it sounds somber, there will always be dancing in the kitchen on Thanksgiving with my LITTLE boy... at Chimes

I am thankful for having met you, as well as everyone else here, not only today, but everyday....
Happy Thanksgiving all. Off to my folks for dinner, hope my mother doesn't cook <g> But I am very much thankful for her and all of you here. Continue to be blessed. C
What a wonderful post Robyn !! And I toast your 1st THANKS GIVING in the House of Chimes!!!
May God keep you and your sweet children safe and healthy, may you find favor and mercy with both God and man, and may you find peace and joy (strength) in the midst of your storms!
You've come a long ways baby !!! Life is full of ups and downs and sideways . When you get knocked down (and we all do), just decide now to always get back up and keep on perservering ! I will be praying about your car situation as well as finances in general. Keep God first in your life and no matter what you go through, He will never let you down!
Happy Thanksgiving to ALL readers of the thread and especially those that take the time to show support!

Reason: Added PRAYER requests :-)
We, dh and the 2 kids were sitting in a Chinese food buffett style place yesterday and talking about something, I dont even remember what, but what it boiled down to was myself and his mother. Here we go. He told me that she will always outrank me. Well, from his actions all these years I always knew that, but he sat there and said it out loud. So he was going on and on, blah blah blah and finally I told him that he needed to stop talking. He said ok, had no clue. I regained composure and said that when you marry a woman you become as one. You leave your family and start your own family. Your wife then becomes the woman in 1st place in your life, then your mother. He says well, she has exp with buying things and with medical and lawyers. OK, Now I got really MAD. I said all she has ever bought in her life is a PACIFICA and has reliec on men for all the rest. Lawyers because she is trying to take everyone elses money...dhs. Medical, yes she has problems, but so do I!!! She let things happen to their family growing up that was reprehensible and that I would never let happen to my kids and I told him if thats the kind of advise/exp he wants to learn/live by then he is off his rocker!!!!!!! He says, true... Then, I say lets look at her last marriage... one of the worst things in it was that her dh had more time and everything for his mother, and not his wife. he did everything for his own Mother and never spent any time with his wife, dhs mom, took care of her money wise and didn't keep groceries in their house...oh I could go on. So I say to dh... do you recall all the problems we have to hear about over and over about that marriage and his mother coming before your mother, well thats what you have been doing to me fore 15 years, even with all of the bad things she has done to you.... OMG lightbulb moment for dh. It was like I hit him with a brick! He said I can't believe it. He said from today on I am changing, mind you I said it takes seeing to believe... I had also told him that I was never going to follow her advise and exp... She may be older than me but not wiser. She has made so many mistakes in her life and this is why she needs all the lawyers. She has med probs, guess what? I do too, but I had them start from a much younger age. I nursed my Mother, Father, and Grandmother until the day they died, and I am the baby of my family, I took on the responsibility. I told my dh that I would NEVER take her advice exp and use it. I can't go into the childhood, but it was bad for them. I am so sorry, I know this was long, but getting it out, other than infront of everyone at the restaurant feels good for me. Dh asks me how we can accomplish things like this again, I told him I guess we have to go for Chinese... It was a good day, a day of realization.
That was from May, someone who is no longer on this board/forum/ whatever repped me on this.
I look back and thought that day I was maybe accomplishing something.
I look at today, and know I was.
