well in liue of not getting the house.. part of the 'new' life were starting is to get our house back in shape.. the first MAJOR project is my son's room.. i won't even begin to describe what it looked like.. as some of you would gasp and go 'whoa, is he a hoarder'?? well he has some issues.. we sat down on Saturday and created a family 'contract' that established certain projects being done in a certain time frame.. due to many concerns.. his room was given Friday as the deadline.. no if's no and's no buts'!.. he HAD to do it all himself...well he's now putting himself into at completely. i can't believe the change already. when he gets it done. i'll post one before IF i can find a pic and the after.. ha.. on any other normal given day he's try and take off .. .but today its pissing down rain.. he has no choice.. thanks Mother nature.. . on the other hand. my oldest and I have to go to his eye Dr. in an hour.. im not looking forward to it.. and then groceries.. yikes.. guess im wearing my rubbers.

I hope this can be a place for us to celebrate with one another too....my boyfriend and I are officially dating again. he took me out on three dates and then asked me to be his girlfriend again. =) I'm super happy with the decision. we broke up for a lot of good reasons but we are also coming back together for a lot of good reasons too.

I'm so excited. the six months time apart was a time of lots of growth and I can only hope for the best now!

Hi all, busy day here, up early and off with the girl I work with to go sort out her cell phone. Now taking DD to her counselling appt., going to mail my package while she is there and sneak over to Superstore for a looky. Then she wants to go to Walmart and look at cds. With the issues she is working on we have reverted to a reward system - $3 for everyday she is 'good'. She has 12 days in now. Pretty proud. I suppose I can divulge another secret here since this is the week for letting is all out..... She is a cutter, it's terrifying and absolutely out of my control. I have never felt so helpless as a mother and been so scared. She has been in couselling for a few months now and it really seems to be helping. She has had some set backs, but seems to be doing well these days. She is wearing a shortsleeved shirt today for the first time in almost a year. I am sure she will be thrilled if she knew I was telling you all this but then again.... I think it's a good place for me to finally tell someone. Being a teenager is so hard these days.
Please don't think I am a bad parent....

Oh Bluz~ hugs* You are a superb mom because you care about your daughter's well-being and are making the effort to get her the help she needs. That says a lot about you. Lots of kids would love you as their mom if they were going through similar situations. A lot of parents I know would rather deny or ignore the problem, hoping it would go away. Or worse yet, convince themselves that there's nothing wrong with their child and that they will "get over it."

I'm only a first-time mom and only for 14 months, but if I had the courage, kindness, love, and wisdom you and so many other mommies on here do (Slambert, Armygirl, etc...) then I would be so ever honoured =)

Thanks for that website Pumpkin, I'm looking at the Emotional Freedom Therapy right now and it sounds amazing. Going to get Trent to sit and read it with me later tonight and see if it's something he'll do with me.

Trust me, I am well aware that children (teenagers, especially) make choices that in no way reflect what kind of parent you are. You obviously love your children to the world's end...

Ack! One or both of the girls colour ALL over DD's white bed sheets! They both say the other one did it & the other one is lying! *sigh* does anyone know how to get crayon out of sheets? I think it should just washout right?! I believe they were those washable Crayola crayons

That's why we are a "Crayola Only" family! (Well, our reason is the walls, but it HAS to be Crayola if you ever want it out or off!)

And i missed the free bacon again.................................

FREE BACON?! WHAT!?

[MrsSunshine]

((hugs))) Blu.. you are an awesome Mom. and yes teenagers often make choices that we wouldn't. in 20 years they'll look back and go what was I thinking.....

thanks all.... here in small town NS mental health is still kind of taboo and everyone knows your biz once you tell one person. I was a cutter too but a different sort... if that makes sense. My issues started a couple years after my dad died.
I think Samis trigger was her bf breaking up with her to date a guy. That wasn't something I ever thought I'd be dealing with but ee did our best. She is 15 going on 25.

Back home with the kids; all schools in our school board are implementing emergency procedures due to the ice storm coming...
The Military Base is even on Lock-Down.

Off to make sure we have our candles out and our phones charged...

Well I was to terrified to see if it was a 'phase or something'. Its too scary to think of what might happen if it was ignored.

yes, mental health is definitely something that we don't talk about enough. it's a shame that's it's taboo because then so many people suffer in silence.

I think I shared this with you before but we went through this as well with my bipolar son. It can get better. (((Hugs)))
