Congrats on your one year anniversary! That's quite an accomplishment even without the incredible stress you've endured. You should celebrate and treat yourself to something special!
Terrific especially for this past year. My own mother smoked for 58 years and one day just quit cold turkey. She had great motivation: it was either quit and come live with me and my family or go live in Assisted Living and have to sneak outside to grab a smoke.
Congrats, Jersey!! I had tried quitting years ago by using Chantix, but it made me so depressed that I could barely get off the couch. When I became pregnant with my now 19 month year old, I quit cold turkey. I found it easier to quit the smokes then to stop drinking coke! Sometimes I still miss the thought of it, but the one time I tried to smoke one I puked. I can't stand the smell of them now.
Jersey, I've said it before, but it's worth saying again, I greatly admire how you've handled this. Just INCREDIBLE that you were able to resist turning to cigarettes through all of this. If this couldn't make you go back to smoking, NOTHING will!
I've been off here for a few days. We are still waiting for the call to get the paternity test. Nothing yet.
Baby is still quite colicky. Ugh! I feel so bad for her.
I've been nuts with my other kids too and going through normal teen stuff with them. The other one now is testing me. They wonder why I go and see the baby as soon as I get home. It's probably the only smile I will get all night.
I'm saving for our cruise that they still don't know about. They are wondering why I'm being tight with cash but I'm not telling them. One day maybe they will all look back and realize that mom really does love them and put up with a lot of crap from them. God give me strength until then.
I have to be honest here. I've not been feeling well and it's really a bad time for it. I did make an appointment with my cardio. Quite a bit of chest pain and middle shoulder blade. I'm sure it's just stress.
Work has been crazy and mentally draining.
My girls got preferred candidate status for their top choice schools. They will be seniors this year and that's hitting hard too. I'm not ready for all this change.
My daughter is on pins and needles waiting on it. We did hear from the court about the paperwork. Apparently fob signed my daughter's name to the consent for the test. I do think it was an accident with him not realizing what was going on. My daughter said there were a lot of papers flying around the table.
Baby turned two months and is now rolling over. She only likes to sleep at night which is great but she gets so tired during the day that she doesn't know what to do with herself and is cranky pants.
She found her thumb and it's so adorable. I reminded my daughter of the importance of an education and a job with a good dental plan. She's going to need it.
School is starting back up in a little over a month for her. She is checking into child care now to prepare. I had to push her into it. She was procrastinating big time.
But that was the deal. We would support her if she remains in school.
I will say she is doing a good job with the baby.
