I do too :( I have quite a few friends I wish I could meet. One of which I might be able to in the near future. She wasn't the closest of the 5 of us to me but she's a sweetie none the less. We've known each other 10 years. Her husband is going to college just a few hours north of here. We met 10 years ago on Gaia, they called us the fabulous five. :P we were a donation place there for questers. With my art junkie friends lol. Wow today is going to be an nostalgic type day I can already feel it. I keep in touch with all the other four gals via Facebook now. It is one of the reasons I could never really quit Facebook.

I met one of my best friends on Gaia in 2003, and we've met up several times over the past eleven years. We'd meet up yearly (or more) if we had the money. We still RP over there when we have the time. I come on Mene to chat, but I have gone back to Gaia for the "play" side of avatar sites, despite how "give us your money!" they are.

All the fabbers live fairly far away from me. Two live on the east coast one lives on the west coast an the one who actually shares my time zone.... Lives in Canada :/ the two who live on the west coast have met up. And I will hopefully be meeting up with her soon as we will hopefully be sharing a state soon.
I only visit Mene. Ever. No one visits Gaia anymore of the old crew. I have friended a few on facebook that were our regulars but I went there for the chats and once they died..... My connection to the site did too...
I have a few rl friends who visit rarely maybe I should go back for the games... Like I need more junk to do online lol. I gave all my items away long ago

It's easier to find good chat here. Too many trolls elsewhere. x___x
It's so hot here today. :( I need to clean the guinea pig cage... and start on dinner soon. Cole works tonight. Hopefully he remembers to give Terra a bath. He hasn't cooked in over a week, but has still been picking up extra shifts at work. We start packing Wednesday! It's getting so close.

It was nice here.... Until the freaking storm hit... Then it was rain, hail, thunder and lightning... Fun stuff fun stuff.... :\ Liam got super fussy and nothing i did calmed him. Then as the storm settled I handed him to Michael so I could close my car windows (yes they were open the whole dang time) so I could stop any further damage to the van and when I got back in... Liam was asleep... *shakes head*
I have been extremely emotional the past two days. So bad yesterday I made myself physically sick :( I am not ready to be away from Liam. I know I will cry a ton more tonight... At least the first 4 days Liam will be with his dad.

Oh Liam... xD Maybe it was brother's magic touch?
I can't imagine taking the plunge. Just tell yourself that you do not have to do this if it gets too rough. The worst that happens is you make a paycheck and get ahead on bills. Plus you mentioned there's an emergency fund that will get you guys caught up contingent on you getting a job--you did that, so it should be okay, right..?
Hang in there. Just remember that you hold all control over this. No one else does. Have a cry, give it a go, and evaluate as you go along. <33 And I'm here to listen and help support, always!

I should be grateful many mamas have to be away from their babies at 6 weeks. Liam is almost 14 weeks and an established nurser. I should be thankful we got this much but I feel like I am failing him. I was away from Mikes earlier then this but he was always with family. I still don't know entirely who will pick up when my sister can't.

You take it day by day until you know more, and that's all you can do, right? Parents who are able to say home with their babies are very fortunate, and it sucks that it's almost a privilege to have kids and be hands on with them. Many countries pay extended maternity leave, because they know it's important. Not the US. :/

I wish the US did more to allow men and women to spend time with their babies. It is no wonder to me that so many men can walk away with no second thoughts.
One day at a time.

/sigh... My daughter the great ruiner of outings... My mom gave us a fifteen dollar gift certificate thing to to McDonalds... So I figured we could go out as a family and the kids could run a muck and we can talk have dinner.... The like... Oh no.... Ellie had her third accident of the day... Pee... She hasn't had pee accidents except little tiny ones where she doesn't quite make it... Not today though two pee and a poo and all were after us taking her... I am so sad. I have no idea how Dillon and I are going to see each other. :\ much less all of being together as a family with all the stupid stuff going on :\

I feel like I've missed so much. We had friends here for the week and I try to avoid the internets when friends are over. Is this the ECE job that you got Jazzy? I tried to skim the posts as I moved pages to catch up. I've missed you ladies!
Camp went great, and shortly thereafter I started the week day night audit at the guest house. Will be going in to work tonight! It feels kinda strange to have a set schedule for a Monday to Friday job. So surreal! I feel like an adult! lol

Thinking of you Jaz... <3
The other shoe I was waiting to fall fell this morning around 8:30. The housing appraisal came in low, so the sellers either need to lower the sale price, or we're not getting the house. I am hoping where it's "just" $3,000, they'll adjust the sales agreement. Otherwise we might be able to work something out where we keep the home sale in contract but rent during the gap, seeing as the tenants are moving in less than 7 days and have likely packed up all their stuff.
I'm not freaking out... yet. Again got all the balls I could into motion, so there's that. Just a waiting game now.

I'm hoping the sellers see it as just $3,000 and lower the sale price for you. So much about purchasing a house is hurry up and wait!
Jazzy- awww. It's a bitter sweet feeling though. It will be good for you to get out there again. Has Dillon still not started the other job? Is he home with the kiddos? How did you manage to find child care? It's that aspect of working that always freaked me out when mine were little. Thus why my first job happened only when Scott was home and then later only when the kids were in school. Now it's when they're sleeping. >.> I have a fear.
Not that I want to put more stress and pressure on you by asking. >.> Sorry. I'm nosey and feeling so incredibly out of the loop!
I do feel excited for you. It's what you went to school for and all, and I know you're great with kids. They are lucky to have you.

Hang in there chi. I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed it goes positively.
Work was ok aside from brooding over the fact that I was brooding most of the day. Abandoning my kids to watch other peoples kids. My brother was here earlier and I just don't know how I can continue if I can't have someone dependable watching them. This daycare is by far the worst set up I have ever experienced. I watched teaches leaving babies alone while eating, I was left alone at near double my legal capacity and I just I don't know... The kids are cuties but I could not put the kids in there not in good faith... The lights in my eyes have all gone out... And they get paid once a month... At the end of the month:\

They won't. The realtor asked the seller this morning and he said no to the $3k decrease and no to letting us rent it while keeping the sale under contract for 2-3 more months. Since then, I got a copy of the appraisal and sent it along. That could possibly change the sellers' minds, but it's very doubtful. I'll know by tomorrow the latest. I don't think it's happening though, and I'm not being purposefully pessimistic. I think it's a major mistake, knowing that we offered above market average, and it's just more and more waiting time for them to find new buyers. I am crossing my fingers, because every other condition has been met. Every. Single. One.
I guess the positive would be that we'll pay off the credit card debt and Cole's car with enough for a trip out of town. I will do my best to not be massively depressed. :>

Mellie Dillon has started... He started training on Thursday and has overnight training on Tuesday and Wednesday so he is off today and next Thursday. He gets a look at what his true schedule will be on tue or wed.
Currently he or I will be with them 90% of the time I just have a couple of hours over lay where we won't be here. Not sure though what we will do when that time comes. My sister was asked first my brother is just to damn irresponsible and I fear he will steal from us...
Got delayed because my mom called and I am just at wits end. I'll post more later

Oh no... What happened with the call from your mom??
There may be a glimmer of hope. The realtor asked the sellers to reconsider if he gave up some of his commission. Completely knocked me off my feet. I'm baking him something when all is said and done, regardless of whether or not we get it. That gesture has been beyond sweet. :'( I'll know tomorrow.

My mom just kind of made it so I aired all the things I had seen and experienced today. I wanted to be able to do it elsewhere but I haven't had much chance. Then she made a point to repeatedly tell my that ten is "more then old enough" to stay at home, and that I need to put Liam and Ellie in daycare because it is only a few hours. I am so beyond depressed. I could just curl up and die right now I've had more then I can handle...
