uhhhh...
I can't think of a title again. I must be going through the change.
Ha! You think I'm kidding?!?!? Nooope! I haven't had it confirmed by a medical-type person yet, but I sure have been having some Shadrach-Meshach-and-Abednego episodes lately.
Wha? You know....the three Hebrew children in the furnace? I doubt that they sweated as much as I do during one of those SMA episodes, but it sure does feel like being in a furnace.
GAH!
I'm not entirely certain that it doesn't have more to do with the whole stress/muscle spasm thing, but I guess time will tell. Either way, it's God's show and not mine. I just pray that those heater-in-my-bra episodes don't continue! TMI, I know. Sorry. Get over it. LOL!
Sheesh. I just had a friend who's almost 45 emailing me about being almost two months late, so she thought she was pregnant and TOLD HER 15-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER!!!!
Good night, woman! I dunno what's wrong with her. I'd never do that to my kids til I had at least an EPT done! Gah! And you wanna know what this daughter's response was???
You're not going to keep it, are you? Can't you put it up for adoption? She seemed so pleased that her daughter at least had a prolife reaction.
Wha?!?!?!?!?
Turned out she wasn't pregnant, but...P-UKE! Yeah. That's the kinda mindset her two kids have. The daughter is the youngest and her 19yo son is in the military, where he ran as fast as he could the second his mother agreed to 'graduate' him. She wasn't pleased with his performance as it didn't measure up to her standards.
*siiiigh*
I didn't think about this entry going in this direction, but I guess that's the big thing on my mind right now.
This lady is one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet. But she has got some SERIOUS issues, especially where her kids are concerned! Sheesh.
I just have a hard time comprehending that kind of attitude....AND allowing it to develop in my children?? No way! Not as long as I could help it. I mean, I know kids are going to form their own opinions and such, but her kids always hated each other and she had this attitude of Oh, well. What can you do? *ha, ha, ha*
Gah! I'm not sure if her pushing them in all the directions she wanted them to go was the bigger problem or the way she never really put her foot down about important issues. *sigh*
This just in...I just got an email from a dear cyber-phone buddy. She's feeling so much like the world's sitting on her shoulders--dealing with problems with her grown children who are making horribly bad decisions and grandchildren who never asked to be brought into such a hostile and dangerous environment. :*( Please lift her up in prayer with me?
*siiigh* I guess it's going to be one of those melancholy days. But I need to shake it off as much as possible. I told Casey we'd go to the library and then maybe to Wa|mar+ to look over the crafty section. I might go to G00dy's too and try to find myself a top that doesn't have a rip, spot or other damage that I can wear to the reunion.
I wish you all a glorious day today!
Love,
me

Wow, having a child at 45 would be ... hmmm, difficult? Being 45 and all, I kinda have an idea what it'd be like raising it, but giving birth to it? Yikes!

Well, yeah, it would be a surprising thing, for sure, especially when your youngest is about old enough to drive.
BUT my shock was that she told the girl before she knew for sure AND THEN the girl's reaction (which, after some thought, isn't surprising...that's one of the most selfish kids I know...along w/her brother)
I am just amazed to realize her kids are that way when she's really a giving person and such.
They're just really messed up in general. I have a hard time interacting with her sometimes. I just wanna say If you hadn't let them display hatred for each other AND you so openly...if you'd looked at their likes, interests and strengths instead of insisting they do things by your rule book...if you'd insisted that they at least show love for each other & their parents....on & on...
*sigh*
It just makes me really sad.
And yeah, whadda you know 'bout birthin' babies?!??! ;Þ

I haven't had a period since June and I am not pregnant. It's not possible. Is it too early for menopause. (I'm 34) I thought I was having a hot flash today...but then I realized it was just hot cuz I was baking. LOL.
I would love to be pregnant. My kids would be OVER THE MOON with happiness if I were, even Ben....
If I was 15 and my mom got pregnant I'd have been delighted too and wishing for a sister... :) What IS wrong with that girl? Why wouldn't she want a baby around?
And 45 is really NOT too old to have a baby ya know! (it's getting there, but it's not "guiness book of records" or anything)

LOL! Yeah, where Case & I are reading thru Genesis, I've had to use my 92yo granny as an example to help him understand the magnitude of Sarah having a baby who's daddy was nigh 100yo! LOL!
Now THAT'S old! :) These days, anyhow. I sure can't imagine my granny giving birth at her age. Makes you wonder at how slowly or more gently maybe, people aged as the death curse slowly wove its way through mankind.
Anyhow, whassup w/your lack of Aunt Flo-dom for so long? Not that you oughta complain, but for someone who occasionally has Flo more than once a month (the old witch! LOL) that's hard for me to comprehend.
My 45yo friend...her words in telling me the tale were "after being regular for 30 yrs" so I told her I didn't know what was more amazing..being reg for 30yrs or being prg at 45! ROFLOL!
Anyhow, the girl? She's just the most selfish and hateful child you'd ever (not wanna) meet.
That's what is so sad, to me. That a kid would feel that way and I assure you she wasn't kidding about getting rid of the possible baby. She had no intention of becoming the middle child.
*shudder* Seriously, I don't like to be around that child, she gives me the creeps and so does her wacko brother.
And they're both so totally unlike their mother whose personality is bubbly and huggy and friendly.
Very strange and very sad.
*sigh*

I can't believe that anyone would be HAPPY that was their childs reaction! Wow!! (((hugs)))

My girls still ask for a brother every now and then. Why would they want to torture me at this age? lol!
You know, my girls bickered and "hated" each other at different times in their lives. But, the minute someone outside of the family would rag on one of them, they'd all stick up for the sister under attack. It was funny to watch it unfold. It is sad to hear of siblings not getting along to that degree. Don't they know when all is said and done......all you have left is family. (whether you like them or not) rotflmbo!
Thank you for the prayers, sweetie.
Peace, Debe

My thoughts exactly, Mabel. It's really so sad!!!
Thanks for stopping by!
:)

Oh my goo'niss, Deb! gah! Tell 'em they can go get a brother at the pet store. LOL!
Me & my sis were that way...pick at each other all the time, but let someone else horn in and it was "katie bar the door"...whatever that means. :)
This lady's kids aren't like that, tho...which is why I never let my kids spend much time over there. They literally creeped me out!
Ugh. I just think it's so sad to allow and even encourage your kids to develop that kind of anti-relationship.
(encourage by saying things like, "I had to get KidA into something as far away from KidB as possible or they'd just fight." & "No, I can't leave them both at home together. They'd kill each other." & all kinds of other things like that. Sounds like typical mom-speak, but she was serious...so much so that she'd forego a meeting/get-together for herself to keep from having to leave the two together if she couldn't find a place for one or the other to go.)
*sigh*

I got the SMA relation, love that story! "Not even the smell o' fire!" Sorry you feel like you're in the fiery furnace, though. can't be happening yet! Can it?!?
And what a story about your not-preggars friend! Geez, I guess it's a good thing she's not having a baby. I hope her daughter either makes a 180 degree change, or stays childless!
I think my kids would like to have a baby addition. They'd treat it like a puppy.

LOL! I always tell people it's a good thing we have a poo-doodle instead of a baby...b/c Casey would torture that poor creature to death.
As it is, I think Tucker can probably run faster than a baby could crawl and that is indeed a very, VERY good thing.

Well, Mrs. Diamond, I was 31 when I was confirmed IN menopause. I WAS trying to get pregnant and so when I missed I happily ran off to the doctor to have my pregnancy confirmed. I just refused to admit it for quite some time...I'm telling you, my hubby is a SAINT!!! :)
Now, I'm 51....time does fly!
Posted by: Claire | October 20, 2005 11:36 PM
Some of my kids keep asking for another baby. ROFLOL
You'd think they wouldn't want any more siblings, but nope! LOL
Mel and I were watching the Dugger family on Discovery Health, they have 16, She was asking how one could handle that many. I said after 3, it doesn't really make a difference. ROFLOL
Guess Tucker had to learn to run FAST! LOL
