Happy Christmas Week, Everyone!
Robyn, your post describing the kids running, playing, screaming, all while you were swinging on the porch, with your cup of coffee was priceless - sounded so all-American good...thank God you are as young as you are, finding out what it is to live with safety and freedom. You are one strong cookie, and you have earned the reward of living the good life. I often wonder at people who must have things to be happy, when true contentment is just "being" in the midst of a healthy lifestyle...go girl, you deserve it all!
This morning driving to work it was very foggy. As I drove down the back roads to get to work,the fog layed just above where the cars were driving.
The trees lining on the side of the road bare, and the sun shining through them all, through the fog. Rays of sunlight beaming through the fog.
This morning, the fog, beautiful.
No messages, nothing telling me look ahead, something may happen, the fog representing a possible bad thing.
Nope, just representing beauty today, that is all. The beams of sunlight breaking through, showing its strength against the fog, becoming one with the fog.
The sunlight,so bright, you needed sunglasses, even in the fog.
Not the fog of the track. Not the fog that stayed for threedays, not to go away.
I was like the sun, breaking through the fog. The beautiful fog.
The sun, I suppose, is what had meaning. Its strength to shine through, wonderful rays of sunshine, busting through the fog. Its strength, its beauty...heavenly.
(((Robyn))) New thread, huh? Hummmm. <Rockky looks around>. Yep. I like what you've done with the place.
Darlin', your words sound so content and peaceful. It's like a word massage for my soul. Yes, that's it. It's a word massage!!
Know that there will be more days like these....many more. Even when there are some not so nice times, remember what you feel like right now. It will center you and keep you strong and focused.
He called me at work today. Going to the ER, medicine he is taking is having some effect on him.
Says he cannot see the kids this weekend. What medicine?
Talked with him a while ago, he says the ER dr is taking him off of this whatever med he is taking for a day or so, and he does not want to talk to the kids, he will call them tomorrow some time.
L was off the hook mad earlier. She didn't eat dinner last night, and nothing today, so i asked her if she was feeling ok. She got upset over it, but is fine now. A got upset over how she was reacting, Dominoe effect going on here.
They are both fine now, she came down, said mommy I am sorry for how I acted, but I don't understand why it matters if I am not hungry.
I took her onto my lap and explained that we need food to fuel us, etc, and after a while she was ok.
A picking some things up, a Christmas decoration. I said, hmm, we may just put that away, Christmas has gone. He says... No it hasn't, every day is Christmas in THIS house!

Robyn, your children are ANGELS, they really are. AND, they are right!

Tell A he's got that right! <g> Just a thought, but I think TJ should tell you what med he's on - if he's sick, he may have exposed the kids to it and L not eating may mean she's getting it too and may not want to say she's not feeling well, thinking it will "reflect badly" on her Dad, if he's sick....again, just a thought.
BTW - I can see the House of Chimes with Christmas decorations up all year round....at least this year

I asked him and he skirted around the issue. He was so freaked out the other night on the phone, stressing heavily. He could hardly even talk. It was stressing ME out just to listen to him.
Then this today. He says, I just need sleep and I will be ok. Didn't want to talk to the kids.
I know he still goes to that counselor, I wonder if he has seen anyone else in the office. Eval or med mgmt?
I have no idea. My thought has always been that he is Bipolar. There is nothing wrong with bipolar, if you realize you have it, and take medication, therapy, etc.
With all of the years of his manic stages, etc, jeckyll/hyde.
I wonder if she finally saw something in him and referred him. I don't know. He would not tell me the medication.
I guess it is not my business, and that is fine. But there is something telling me this is not a 'sick' medication that he has taken which has caused a reaction. He was not sick. I just saw him the other day...Christmas Eve.
Something is going on with him. Hopefully, whatever it is, he gets it straightened out.
For me, I am going to bed. It has been a very good day. Very good.
L ate something... I just wonder if she is falling prey to this you have to be bone thin image.
She has said she has to go on a diet before. I tell her, no she is fine. She is only eleven. Growing up. SHAPING up. AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!
She counted the days and came in and told me how long it would be before she was 12... and its not that long!!! That means a month after, A will be 14!
I guess when I said I was all grown up... I was right... Oh well. I am happy in my grown up state of mind! YAY!
Robyn, I love ya, I really do, but must disagree on something with you. If tjblmbutt is taking meds, and they have an adverse affect on him when he has the children, it could be tramatic to them. What if he is driving somewhere with them, etc? I do feel you should know what meds he is on, for their sake.
I know, I know, and now I will be quiet. Believe me, I am not trying to be ugly...just concerned.
blessings to you..aiangel

I agree with you aiangel, thats why I asked him the first time what meds, and then the second time, he would not tell me what med he was taking that had the reaction.
I totally agree.
I do think, however, that he made a good decision to call me and tell me he could not get the kids due to this whatever he has going on.
I can commend him for that. He would not have done that in the past. In the past, he had been in a drunken raqge, and tried to take them.
But yesterday he called ansd said he cannot. So, a positive step forward, but also, I felt strongly that he did not want to tell me why/what medicine he was taking, but only said the er drs were taking him off of it for a couple days.
I don't know. We will see what happens. He made the right decision, for once.
