Well y'all... recent trips to that old blog site revealed slim chances of finding the folks I had once enjoyed chatting with on a daily basis. I accidentally fell across this NEW blog site and found almost all my old friends.

I can't believe it's May already. I can't believe the last time I felt like posting or sharing my feelings about anything at all was around Christmas.

Some crappy stuff has been happening in my life involving my family and I just couldn't write... the words wouldn't come... I've dealt with a cancer diagnosis of an immediate family member, a suicide attempt of an immediate family member, some issues with my oldest daughter, a dear friend loosing their home to foreclosure, and of course the ongoing sadness of dealing with my ex-husbands horrible wife.

But... spring has sprung (Finally) here in the north. I feel like coming out of my shell of silence and I think I'm ready to start living and laughing again.

Can't wait to check in with everyone. A lot can happen in a few short months. So much can change in a 1/2 a year...

My life has taken a turn for the better, I am very happy and calm..I never realized how wonderful calm could be..No one gives me a hard time anymore, I wonder if it has anything to do with me marrying a police officer

Oh Mary... you know... everyone has to deal with "stuff"...usually the "stuff" is spread out a little, I'm going to be ok. I feel better about "things"... just have to deal with it, right?

TERRI!! Yay, yay, yay!!!I have *so* missed you. And now for the on all of the sh*tty stuff that's been going on for you...I hope you find some therapy in sharing what little bits you can and remember that no matter how long it's been, we're all listening.Okay, I still feel like saying, "Hooray"!

Hi Janet!! I've missed you! It is only now that the "crap" seems comical and funny to me that I am able to talk about it. When it hurt... I just didn't feel like communicating. I shut down for awhile, but I'm ok now... better than ok

Hi there and thanks so much for the warm welcome. I was "IamtheMom" before, but since I've decided that I'm more than that , I changed to "shesaidwhat" Thanks too for the warm wishes... I'm ok and ready to make fun of my circumstances... a good sign towards healing. Talk to you later,
