Wow, what a start to the year. I havent been on the site in quite a while, I know i just "disappeared"!! I wanted to fill you all in on whats been going on.
In January I came face to face with my gambling addiction, that is only after facing forclosure on my home,repossesion of our 2 cars and almost a divorce. Thankfully Bill stood by me and we were able to make arrangements and have finally got everything caught up.
February was uneventful except for the gas prices going through the roof and therefore bill not being able to work much because the trucking industry was almost grid-locked because of the price of diesel.
March was horrific. My son Brandon made his 2nd trip to the mental hosp. He crashed after finding out that his beloved football coach had died at 35. We're still working on his therapy but things are looking up. Bill came off the road to be more a support at home.
April was not much better. We faced Brandon being expelled from school. They are so un-educated in kids with mental disabilities. Got through that only to go through it again in May. My step son moved in with us towards the end of april, after 3 days of living with us, he heisted $500. worth of playstation equipment from my son. That led to investigations and then felony grand larceny charges against him. He spent a week in jail and is now out on bond.
May started out pretty good, only to have a job on Thursday and when we came to work on Friday we found CLOSED signs on the door, no notice, no thank you.
June was much better. Brandon lost the diagnosis of borderline scitzophrenic (sp) and bipolar....yippee!!. GOt him off all the heavy duty meds and am completely impressed with his new ones. In late June Bill took a job with Brown and Root.
July seems to be going good. Bill is now in Kuwait (signed a year contract). Brandon is doing very well mentally but had him in the ER saturday with a potential spider bite...well lo' and behold, he somehow came in contact with a brown recluse. Neucrosis has started setting in so off to the doctor we go today.
Whew, what a year. I keep wondering "What next". All i can do is shake my head and laugh so i dont cry, lol. I promise to be more active on the site.
Love
Jen

What is it they say when you've "had it all"? You certainly have.......Just watched a TV show where she was addicted to gambling, it sounded a lot like you.
Wishing you the best, hope things settle down at your place.
Jen, I have missed seeing your posts and wondered what had happend to you. Sounds like you had your hands full, I hope things are finally falling into place for you and things will go smoother. wow - you've just been thru the wringer havent you. just hang in there and take it one day at a time. cheers!!
Jen:
We haven't met but I admire you. After all you've been through, you're still standing. Much success to you and your family as you continue to move forward. May God grant you peace and the weapons you need to fight your battles.
Jen, you are too cool. To come out and tell us all of this tells me what a super person you are. I'm proud of you for what you have gone through with your addiction. Every day you will get stronger, if that is possible. Looks to me like your strength is super right now to have made it through all you have. I'm glad you are back at DG and hope that you can be here often. Congrats girl. Your Bill needs a big pat on the back too. I'm sure none of this has been easy on any of you.
LOL, had my handbasket packed to take to h*ll with me : )
Just got back from the dr. Hes put him on keflex, the doc is afraid that the joint has gone septic (?), doesnt sound good, but have to check for signs and then back to the doc on Friday.
I'm okay, really. Have to laugh sometimes because its almost like what more can i go through, and then dang it, something else happens. Youd think id learn to quit asking, eh?
Thanks for everything yall!! It feels good to be back

MsJen- I'm another one yet to 'meet' you. I just wanted to say, I think it was very brave of you to post what you did. A true sign that things can only get better!
I'm just getting over a brown recluse bite. If your son is on Cephalexin you will see a improvement in a couple of days. When I was switched to that, it made a WORLD of difference. The fever, redness- skin falling off (to gross to go into details) stopped after three days on that.
Hi,:-)

Ms Jen, it must be your time for some good luck. do you have any brugs blooming?
Welcome back Jen.I have missed your post.What's that old saying?"If it weren't for bad luck you wouldn't have any luck."When you are that far down the only direction you can go is up.
great that you have come face to face with your problems and are still with a sense of humor about all of it. I really admire you and will be a fan of yours from now on.
So glad to see you back Jen. You certainly have had your share of troubles this year. I hope the rest of the year goes smoothly for you.
You have mountains of strength, continue to build those mountains. Congratulations on keeping your head straight through all of that. It must have been very difficult. Glad you can come back to us to share.
Good to see you back. I know what you've beeb through. I've had a year from heck myself. Things will change and you will have the strength to come through it all. Life will open up and get better for you. Each person only deserves the best and your's is on its way.
