Saying Goodbye and The Celestine Prophecy
by safe4kids innope, not to to the board but to stuff i've needed to let go!
anyone who has dealt with depression and the internal effects of sustained negative emotions will understand this, i think.
its been a rough year, for many reasons, and i apologize to those whom ive not had the energy and emotional wherewithal to support.

Sometimes, it just ain't any fun...
by safe4kids ini took my kids on a vacation to disney world...their dream vacation, actually, although it didn't turn out that way.
midway through we get a call that their grandmother (the real one, who was never a dub and who hasn't ever turned her back on the kids or on me even thru my divorce from her son, unlike my own jw mother) is in serious condition at the hospital.
we spent one of our 'vacation' days sitting in a hospital icu waiting room, timing our 15 minute visits so that we could see her, and throughout it all the kids were troopers.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeere we go!
by safe4kids inokay, so i know it's not pc to be excited about a storm like hurricane frances, but i reckon since i'm stuck with it anyway, i may as well make the most out of it, hey?
we are just now getting the first feeler bands from the storm...the wind is gusting hard, blowing the rain in almost horizontal sheets.
it's so cool!

Please wish me luck...
by safe4kids ini've got the first part of my state certification this morning...a three hour exam covering the last month and a half of training on state law, the judicial system, case practice, interventions, indicators of maltreatment and abuse et cetera and i've got anxiety out the wazoo (btw, does anyone know what a wazoo is??).
i have to pass this in order to keep my job and i've heard that it's pretty difficult, so i'm stressing just a wee bit.
i'm thinking the gallon of coffee i've already had this morning may not have been such a good idea??

Thanks for the BS
by safe4kids inwell well....how wonderful it is to see people taking potshots at one another, to see a group of people who could be supporting and helping one another instead turn to infighting and slagging.
i'm disgusted by it all, i really am.
in the last year or so that i've been online, i thought that i had made some real friends, i thought that it was possible to really get to know people thru this modern miracle of technology.
