You DID miss me!

Post by jimolliemom »

Not that I disapreared on purpose but I had no time...and still don't. But, I'm making time for BN. I need you guys. I've had a lot of crap hit in the last 8 months! I realized how much I need my support system!

My Mom, and both her dogs moved in. Her health has gotten terrible. Mollie is allergic to her dogs (and not ours??) Sam and Ben had to be outside dog.

Penelope, Mollie's cocker, turned and began biting. After she took off my finger tips and tried to eat Savannah (Jim's beagle) she had to find a new home.

A month later, we adopted JJ. Mollie's new baby. He's a 1/2 Shar Pei and 1/2 Chow. He looked like a bear. He's gone from 3 pounds to 32 pounds and he's almost 6 months old. He was rejected from Momma and at 3 weeks, I had to feed him every 3 hours around the clock. The vet LOVES him because he a sweet boy and because he was a tiny puppy who we helped into a great boy who LOVES his Mollie!!

My Delaney is still my fur-baby and wonderful. She has been my sounding board. She's a great listener!

Jim is a Senior and looking at colleges all over. Mostly in N Florida. He completed his Eagle in Boy Scouts and his football team at school has had an undefeated year (so far) with winning last night 62-14.

Mollie...my Mollie is my sunshine. She's 9 and 1/2 and hates her teacher but we are learning that all of life isn't a stage and sometimes, we have to obey people we don't like. (Although this woman is WAY out of line and we've been to the principal twice already!) She's cheering, in Girl Scouts still and is playing the piano for the 5th year.

James is Officer Friendly and loves his job. Me, I'm not crazy about him being a cop but oh well...he loves what he does.

I went back to work because the house had not sold. I'm working 40 hours and when I'm NOT home, everything falls apart. So I spend the first 2 hours every night putting things back together.

Moving...the house was on the market a year. In that time...my agent had 3 DUI's , divorced, remarried and had a fiance' die. (yes, 3 men in a year) She moved out of state and now, no one can find her. My contract expired in September and I'll relist after the new year with another agent and company. I am STILL MOVING HOME!! I am blue. Not a clinical type, needing medication. Just a "I hate cold. I miss my friends. I want to go home" kind of blue. My job will transfer, James can move agencies, Jim will be in a FLA college and Mollie is looking forward to 5th grade there. I am still house hunting there and we can move after Jim graduates.

So, thanks to all of you who missed me. It's nice to be loved!

Now, how can I add my picture to my avatar? I forgot!

Des????? My Myspace pix??? Can you help me????

I was wondering about that too... but I don't blame you if you withdrew with all you've been through! (Be glad you didn't order a lanyard.)
Maybe they dropped you because you were too "normal" for the show.

Sorry for the hectic life, but thanks for dropping by. I know all about trying to sell a house!

Thanks for all the posts...Mom won't get "better"...but she will have good days and bad days. I hope for more good than bad. I honestly wasn't looking for a pity party but when I typed it all out...it DOES look pretty bad. But...good notes...

We all have health coverage for the first time in 3 years!

Jim has an internship at the sheriff's office. (and he wants to go into early childhood development??)

I love my job...it's in sales and I can sell it...whatever "it" is!

and my precious baby girl...she hit "that time of the month" already and I survived it as well as she did (yes...she's 9!!) Although I gotta tell you...I was in shock for a few days but it all makes since now. AAAHHH, she's hormonal!! that explained a lot! :-?
