NO MARTINIS!!!!! UGH! Still recovering from the other night!

I did send quick message this weekend, in response. I know however that it's not her style to suddenly write me in say 2 weeks out of the blue cause things might be calmer, so I'm ready to chalk it up as lost. It is what it is, I'm not going to take it personally, I don't think it's intentional but I don't think I'll hear until I send my next update, which I wasn't planning for a while!

I want your car!!! I see them on the road now and I sniffle inside! I'm not ready to put a top back on!!!

I'm new to this thread and to this waiting game. I am in search of my birth family and I'm getting nowhere. I have posted all over this website, I have posted on the Indiana Adoption Registry, I sent a request for Non Ident. info 4 years ago and never received anything. Spoke to the local Welfare department 10 days ago and they told me they would do a search and get back to me in a day or two. Seven days later, I call the place back again and now they tell me they will go to the Library to print documentation and read it tomorrow. Do they not have a printer at their office? Why couldn't they go today. The welfare lady mentioned that I thought my father's name was Jim (I never said that, should I wonder if that is really his name?) I just want to hear something!

[thanksgivingmom]

Spooky, You are in good company here! None of us are very good at patience. I think we possibly have the most hissy fits on the forums anywhere and proud of it!! Right Brown?

I don't know much about the adoptee search process, but I DO know about being frustrated with offices that can't complete simple tasks. My SW has me drive to her office to pick up a picture of DD printed on computer paper, because she can't figure out how to attach the pic in an email. SERIOUSLY?? Ridiculous!

I hope you get some info soon, and while you wait, feel free to pull up a chair and grab some chocolate (we've always got plenty here to go around) and wait with the rest of us crazies! <--me and brown

[Tigger27]

LOL @ TGMom...I can't believe your SW doesn't know how to attach a pic to an e-mail oh man that cracks me up - ROFL!!! Sorry, I couldn't help myself on that one.

Oh and yeah we all are the Queen of hissy fits here....I've filled one or two posts with tons of hissy fits myself in the past like last week, haven't I lol . This little guy's my friend -->

Well things are looking up a little more for me still...finally...my boy finally called me and talked with me on the phone for a while last night instead of just texting...I felt like it was a miracle lol. Of course, I still have to talk to him in person about things when I get down there tonight and discuss pre-marital counseling with him, but at least he's talking to me again...finally .

I've got to go give my notice, load up and take my first car load of stuff down and start the moving. I won't be back up to my place to finish moving for a week or so though when we can get up here again with the trailer to move my furniture etc. and then have to clean out the apartment - icky, don't like cleaning and all that moving stuff, but hey that's the way it goes .

I'm still trying to patiently wait to hear something and get my Mother's Day thing from my 4 yr old's parents, but it's still bothering me. I'm just hoping that nothing's wrong with them because another time or two when it went a while and my updates etc. were delayed like this, it was because my 4 yr old's adad was having health problems...he's in a wheelchair and sometimes has health issues come up...one time when my updates were delayed it was cause he was having major problems with his kidneys/kidney stones and such so I'm hoping there's nothing wrong now.

Oh and I'm also trying to be patient and understanding in case there is no health issues or reasons for the delay other than them just being slow to respond .

Anyway, hope everyone's doing alright this Monday and keeping cool .

[Tigger27]

Oh here's a joke for you guys to lighten up the Monday and it's a girl joke lol.

Let's see if I can remember it right...alright so there was a woman who went into the store and got all her stuff then went to the checkout.

She was buying tampons and the tampons didn't have a price on them so the cashier paged on the loud speaker for a price check on the tampons and the woman was so embarrassed.

Well the employees in the back were working and after a little while one of the guys paged back over the loud speaker and asked if they wanted to know the price of the ones that you push in with your finger or the ones that you hit in with the hammer LOL.

Needless to say the woman was totally embarrassed and ran out of the store and then the cashier called back to the guys in the back and asked them why they'd done that and they said what, we thought you had asked for a price check on thumb tacks lol. They hadn't been sure what the price check was for because the page had been garbled in the back, but had thought it was for thumb tacks ROFL.

I'm sure I didn't do it exactly right, but that's the best I can remember it .

What's even funnier, Anne, is when it's your "significant other" who's been delegated to purchase the product!

Sounds like everyone's had a fun day! This was supposed to be my day off... I had a mammagram and a dental appointment this morning (so I really wasn't working) a text study and a conference call this afternoon, so I was! I'm trying to get up the energy to go to Curves!

I'm afraid I may be facing moving too... a member of one congregation came early to the meeting last night to tell me that the other congregation may "blow up" at council meeting tomorrow night and he didn't want me to be blindsided. AARGH!!!! What they really want is to come on Sunday, sleep through the service and go home after an hour (and have somebody else pay). And it's all the pastor's fault. (Whatever we're talking about at the time... unless it's positive LOL) This definitely takes more patience than my reunion with D.

Anne, I like to use a premarital course called Prepare/Enrich (you can use it for married couples too). The goal is to take stock of the strengths and "growing edges" of a relationship and then to work to develop communication skills, etc. (Let's face it - not talking is ultimately not a good defence mechanism/ coping skill for building a strong relationship!)

OMG I LOVE HISSY FIT GUY!!

One of the patients here just unloaded her own hissy on me. Crabby old lady drove here specifically to yell at me because the MD has called her 6 times in the past 2 weeks to reach her back and she is never home. Never says when she will be home. Admits she got all the messages. Refuses to tell me what a good time for her will be. The nature of the call? She refused to wait two hours for an appointment so the MD was calling her back personally to apologize!

And it's not that she is in pain. I can take it when they are crabby and in pain. She is just crabby AND a pain, LOL!!!

I really wish I could go home. But I started a new carpool with the PT in my office and she doesn't finish until 7:30. (Yes, that is me. the crosseyed one with the arrow in her head. that is me after a day like today!)

Anne: GOOOD LUCK with the move!

OH, and welcome spooky. With a name like that we should scare you off TOO bad, Lol! (My own attempt at bad joke )

[kakuehl]

Or, with a name like spooky, she'll fit right in! (I'm hot - I just walked back from Curves. Now I want a nap!)

I'm trying very hard to figure out how to approach the council meeting tomorrow night - without (Somehow it's not helpful for the pastor to even though everyone in the congregation can have a and blame the pastor for their problems! (How long, O Lord!!!)

[mommadscience]

So had to go downtown this morning and drove by the agency. unfortunately I have to do this every week (at least once a week). My son was with me (he's 19, 20 in less than a month) and as we drove past the agency he say "have you heard from them lately?"

I have been trying to not think about it. Telling myself that DD got what she wanted and now i just have to let things be. Driving by there every week does not help and now I feel bad because obviously my son has been thinking about it too.

I almost wish I hadn't said anything to him when I got the letter from DD. I don't want to add problems or complications to his life. He's just getting comfortable with work and maybe going back to school. Now what have I done?



I can handle me being ignored, no not the right word, but now i drug him and my husband and my other son into it. I don't want them to worry about it. They have lives to lead without having to deal with my worries and mistakes.

Anyone else have half sibling/sibling issues? How do you make sure your kids now don't feel bad about your actions and reactions to your child then?

I am confused and tired and wish I had all the answers. PLEASE!!!!!!! Someone has to have some answers.

Okay back to reality. cleaning house, walking dogs, getting ready for surgery next week. Thanks for letting me vent.

Hope everyone is having a good start to their week. The weather here in houston is HOT HOT HOT and it's not even August yet.

Spooky and Momma: welcome, grab a chair, an adult beverage and chocolate.

Finally heard from E today. Sent me an email and discussed NOTHING about anything that I had called, emailed her about Almost want to tell her to go blow off.

Anne: good luck with the move

Roni: glad you heard something back

Michelle: MISS YOU!!! need your number

Off to finish my night and then head home for Black Cherry Smirnoff and chocolate. Anyone care to join me?

[spooky1]

But I found it fitting because I'm named Tabitha. As I said before, I have no patience, but it is nice to hear from someone on this site. I talked to the Welfare Department on Friday and they told me that they were going to the Library to print out my information today. How long should I wait before I call and bug her. She hasn't been real cooperative...... I'm dying for some info.

[InBlindFaith]

I'm too exhausted from Twilight Camp last night to have a hissy fit over the upcoming trial.

I think I sweated off a few pounds last night...so it might be best I have ice cold water from the fountain instead of alcohol. Now when Camp ends...bring on the Martini's!!!

[thanksgivingmom]

I call to bug as often as I can muster the courage, which frankly isn't very often.

Call! call! (and then immediately report back to us! because we don't even have much patience with OTHER people's info!!)

[thanksgivingmom]

If you don't like my joke, blame brown she made me do it!!


Two brooms were hanging in the closet and after a while they got to know each other so well, they decided to get married.

One broom was, of course, the bride broom, the other the groom broom.

The bride broom looked very beautiful in her white dress. The groom broom was handsome and suave in his tuxedo. The wedding was lovely.

After the wedding, at the wedding dinner, the bride-broom leaned over and said to the groom-broom, "I think I am going to have a little whisk broom!!!"


"IMPOSSIBLE !!" said the groom broom.

Are you ready for this?









Brace yourself; this is going to hurt.










"WE HAVEN'T EVEN SWEPT TOGETHER!"




Oh for goodness sake... laugh, or at least groan. Life's too short not to enjoy... even these silly little cute.....
and clean jokes

Sounds to me like she's been "sweeping" around!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Thank you, thank you!

I will admit TG - you got a laugh out of me. It was one of those pathetic laughs, but it was cute.

Mommad - I totally know what you are talking about. I have not had HALF the issues I have with my son's adoption as I do now that I have other children to relate it to. My other children do not know, but my almost 10 year old is getting suspicious. He has caught me on here more than once, and asks me if I am going to adopt and if I do, can it be a brother. Is that not the worst. I keep telling him this forum has lots of info on it for parents. He is gonna bust me when he finds out I have been lying to him. He is really not going to be happy with my parents. I told bson, I was not going to tell my kids until he was ready to write them or something, because they would go bonkers to know him. I know they'd be his biggest fans. Life's a beach! Speaking of beach - I could use a nice relaxing trip to the beach!
