Misti,

I hope you don't take my above posts as being a "smart-alec," which of course, I am.

But, this time I did not mean it that way.

I was just making the point that YOU ARE one of God's beloved creatures, and he won't give up on you, so you can't give up on yourself.......

If we wake up tomorrow, it means God is not through with us.
How can we be through with ourselves?


Usually......in most cases, misery and grief will pass, or at least, lessen to to a bearable level.

I am so proud of you right now!

It gives me strength to see you show strength and true inner grit.

I believe I'll now just go out and jump over a tall building in a single bound.....

Misti glad to hear things are finally going in the right direction for you. I didnt read Td's last comment b4 I hit the thanks button boy oh boy td you may have crossed a line I would delete that. So now back to you Misti maybe if all these jobs pan out you can save just enough to get you a car so the boys can go back to daycare and you can really focus the way you will need to so you can juggle all these jobs. Do only what your able to do which I am sure will be all of them. Hopefully you will get that letter from the IRS and will be nothing. I have my fingers crossed for you. I know your mom isnt that dependable but maybe just maybe she will come through on giving the boys a ride to daycare a few days a week I think it will be good for you to get some time away right now and good for the kids to play with other kids. Its hard when you can never get a break. Ihave been where you were I even wrote a goodbye letter to everyone I loved. Then I thought about how much it hurt me when my friends commited suicide and I just couldnt do that just like you couldnt. Now I dont want to hear why the kids cant go to daycare I want to hear I will see what I can do so I can work and get a break!!!! lol. I have spread myself too thin I am starting to think. Well plus the kids I wasnt planning on having lol. I met with the school social worker today who I graduated with and she was great set up mental health appts for the girls and also getting a counselor from a drug rehab who works with tthe children of addicts. Also said if I have a problem getting them foodstamps she will see what she can do to get them. WOW. So things are finally turning around here too. The kids are adjusting well or so I think they are, but I know they are hurting inside just trying to be strong. You know how kids are. Well there is my ramble for the day. Keep your chin up. Well you can always come to NY too if you dont mind snow and ice and road construction 9mos out of 12 lol. Talk to you soon.

Its very confusing right now they are still living with my sisters bf cause I live in a different town and didnt want to pull them out of school. They love my sisters bf he has live with them for 3yrs and hes like a dad. He was moving out cause he and my sister didnt get along he even has his own place but has decided to stay their for the kids while keeping his other place. I have full rights to all their schooling, medical and anything else. So I have complete say in what goes on right now. SCARY I know. I just didnt want to completly uproot them their lives are tough enough right now they dont need to worry about a new school. They come here on the weekends and when there is no school or whenever they want. I go over in the morning get them ready for school look over homework and find out whats going on for that day. Its ALOT of work I dont envy "real" parents who cant take a break. Well I knew that b4 all this too. Thanks again Misti.

Misti,

I cleared out my PM inbox just for you.


And folks, pray tell, WHAT do you say to someone who is feeling suicidal?

If you are talking about my 'Praise the Lord and pass the bullets' comment, that's a WWII foxhole saying that has nothing to do with suicide at all.

It means: Thanks, God, for getting me through this one, now let's get some more ammunition for the next battle/tribulation, that is surely to come.

Hey, Misti, you're getting lots of support here, so I just thought I'd check in and tell you I'm thinking of you.

Folks,

I am sorry (again) if I offended anyone!

I do tend to think and then write in an unconventional manner - it's that d**n Aquarian in me.

Actually, I am fairly used to being misunderstood, thinking outside the box and all.

But I can tell you this....I am not and never will be (intentionally) condescending, inconsiderate, uncaring, or rude to anyone on here or even in my day-to-day life.

What kind of person would come on here to put somebody down?

I am NOT that person.

I always MEAN well.

And just in case the 'jump over a tall building in a single bound' comment was what ya'll objected to....that's what and how they used to introduce Superman on his TV show a long time ago..."able to jump over a tall building in a single bound, she's Superwoman!"

Not like jump out of the 12th floor to splat on the sidewalk.

woo hoo, just got hired at the fourth job
i am applying more places...a lot of wahms take "projects" just for a week or two at a time, and switch up constantly, except for their main job, which mine would be brighten. i can work anywhere from four to forty hours per week with them. they are the only solid one i have...the other companies i am not so familiar with, but they are all health insurance which is my niche
ok, off to begin training...

I am depressed tonight....so much so I am not thinking straight. I lost my best-friend of 18yrs and my cousin is madd at me too.....all becuase of an incident with 2 5yr olds and me caught in the middle relaying messages between mothers. I have no clue what I did wrong in all this except stick up for both kids. I will say this though one of the kids lied/stretched the truth and which ever one it was caused a 18yr friendship to hit rock bottom. Funny thing is that my friend and I were fine last night and we have been discussed the incident in 5 different calls starting Thursday morning. We had one conversation at 1pm today and by 8pm she was pissed at me and hung up. I know they are both protecting their kids and stuff but why get madd at me I am just the messanger.
Ok I know noone knows what the heck I am talking about and that is fine I just needed to vent by typing.....there is too much details to type right now... I am just in a mood that I want to be alone in my room and never comeout.
