    Custody Battle Update...

    I'm sure all were dying for an update of the mess I call a life! Had our final court date the other day. Mr Wonderful started in with all of the usual bizarre lies and I just sunk in my chair, thinking this judge was going to buy into his BS as everybody else has... So after his testimony, the...

    Vindication!!!!!...

    A few months back, I said something about putting info on a website so I didn't have to deal with the psycho ex (against whom there is a restraining order). I got a reaction that greatly suprised me. But yesterday, THAT was EXACTLY what my attorney told me I needed to do. I did not mention...

    Laughing = Permanent emotional scars?...

    My son was crushed today b/c the maintenance man pushed the elevator button and he wanted to do it. He stood with arms crossed, quietly glaring at the elevator door behind the pumpkin mask he was wearing. Being the horrible person I am, I snickered a little bit as we got out. He turned and...

    Tactfully encouraging healthier behavior...?...

    I have a friend with a child who just turned 2. He wears 5T clothes. Not because he's tall, but because he's so heavy. His mom is heavy too and has mentioned concern over his weight. Talked about how they try to eat healthy, etc. Since that time, we've been around for their dinner a few...

    Toddler Journaling...

    My son's daycare just finished up a great project. They ordered Painted Lady Caterpillars and observed their metamorphasis. But what made it special was that the kid's "journaled" the whole process. Each time they would draw a picture of what they say (bunch of scribbles in Ry's case) and...

    Why do we put our kids (soldiers) position to suffer so much?...

    This story was really sad to me. In many ways. This 22-year-old man lost his battle, but I think the part of the story that stung the most for me was when they mentioned that he was crying one day, because he thought no woman could ever love him again. That's heartbreaking to feel that way...

    Thanks for all the support...

    I would just like to say thank you to the 30-something posters who read my previous thread yesterday, but had absolutely nothing to contribute. I don't mean to belittle other's problems, but issues that are rather small in the grand scheme of things get all kinds of thoughts and comments...

    :)...

    My 3-y-o and I were squeezed onto a twin bed. He still had his towel from his bath - he was holding it around himself as his "butterfly wings." I asked him to scoot over a bit because I was going to fall off. He looked up at me and quite earnestly said "It's OK... I'll wrap my wings around...
