So I started where I left and read forward and am all caught up!
Kelly, oh so very sorry to hear you have been sick. When you are sick enough to go to the emergency room girlie you are very sick no doubt. =( I hope things are rapidly improving for you.
Vicki, on the donor....that is a tough one. As much as I always wanted to make Rickie give a flipper about his kids, it just never happened. Years of fighting it out over money all the time was just stupid...though I was determined the bum wasn't going to get off so easy as he hoped. Though if the adoption issue had ever come up I may well would have pushed for the release just to be rid of him. In our case though the boys were close to their aunt and uncles and grandmother...just not their dad so that would be a consideration if it were me. Do the girls even know anyone on his side of the family? No matter they obviously haven't made any effort for them have they? You know, if the girls want to know about him or his family they can do that deal when they are grown and on their own. Why have him as part of their life, when in reality he isn't. You are the only one bothering to keep him alive to them...he sure isn't. Anyway my 2 cents....not worth much. lol
Neecie, sorry to hear about Ralph's on going whirlwinds. Interesting side note, a guy Raj works with was hospitalized with bronchitis that evolved to pnuemonia last week. While in the hospital tests showed he had suffered a major heart attack some 12 weeks earlier. He had triple bypass this week. He is 50, it's pretty scary stuff but I guess it is a good thing the pnuemonia gets the docs looking closer at more serious things going on.
Loretta, I went to see Indy while in Ky. I hooked up with some old friends and we all went to visit Ed and went to the movies there. It was great. I have tried to think why it would have been rated PG-13, it must be the shoot-em up action. I don't recall any language issues. But I am not a good one to ask because I culled very little from my kids regarding language in movies, so I tend not to notice it when it is terrible. =/ Btw I loved it!!!
And you JP....well would you believe I got to Chattanooga and realized that I meant to email you to get your phone number and forgot to do it before I left. Mom doesn't have a computer so I had no way to email you. I had told my mom I was going to take a day and see if you would meet me in Elizabethtown. I didn't have a way to get a hold of you. =( You goof, I am not intentionally not coming, I am a space cadet trying to get ready to go to moms. Mom was working, John was visiting his dad and I was bored to tears for several days I would have loved to hooked up!! And by-gummies we are going to do that too!!! The next time I head up and have a few days we will do that I promise!!! Matt is flying in to Louisville next week to go see his gf in Frankfort. I wish I could stow-away! Anyways I may be going back for another week in late July or early August. J wants more visitation time with John, and I do owe him more. We may end up meeting half way though so I'm not sure I am giong to visit.
Though I need to check on mom. Things are getting more complicated with her and there is a lot we are going to have to figure out in the coming year I think. Anyway I will blather about that laters. Just know I was too planning to hook up with you!!! =P I just screwed up. =(
Oh and I am sooo envious of you and Myrtle Beach....I absolutely love it there!! We camp on the beach it is awesome!
Okies well I hear my bed calling me. I am glad you guys are liking the cd. Sometimes it just feels like I am bragging, but honestly I feel like if you hear him then you see why I carry on so about it. I've never had any music move me like this stuff does, I think I have never apprciated it until now. The more I am exposed to it all, the more I realize that he really is quite good. I just had to share it with everyone! =)
I am glad to be home.
Hugs to all,
~Ami
