My brother John was the greatest person in the world in my eyes and I miss him everyday. A drunk driver in Alabama took his life much too soon and never spent one day in jail. I miss him every day, every minute of every day. So if you are reading this, please be safe, careful and don't think you are invinsible especially if you are young. My brother was cut in half by a drunk driver while he was on a layover in Foley, Alabama while working shrimping boats along the coast to come see me in GA. Life is too short...don't think it can't happen to you...hug your whole family like you may never see them again EVERYDAY.

The First Argument....
We had our first argument last night, and he said a lot of cruel things that really hurt me. I know he is sorry and didn't mean the things he said, because he sent me flowers today. I got flowers today.
It wasn't our anniversary or any other special day.
Last night he threw me into a wall and started to choke me. It seemed like a nightmare, I couldn't believe it was real. I woke up this morning sore and bruised all over. I know he must be sorry cause he sent me flowers today.
I got flowers today, and it wasn't mother's day or any other special day.
Last night, he beat me up again, it was much worse than all the other times. If I leave him, what will I do? How will I take care of my kids? What about money? I'm afraid of him and scared to leave. But I know he must be sorry because he sent me flowers today.
I got flowers today. Today was a very special day. It was the day of my funeral! Last night, he finally killed me. He beat me to death. If only I had gathered enough courage to leave him, I would not have gotten flowers today.......
If you are against domestic abuse, please pass this along to everyone, NOT just women -
Surgery update for my friends
Well all the time is finally coming soon. I haven't been online much and writing back due to problems with my left arm. I have been in a cast off and on since Dec 6th, had the cortisone shots, broken wrist and problems with my elbow that have gotten to the point of needing surgery. My surgery will be June 9th. At that time they will do a left medial and lateral epicondyle debridements and repair. I also have Ulna nerve involvement, so they will be trying to repair the nerve....if they cannot repair it they will have to make another incision further up my arm and physically move the nerve. Soooooooooo, this will keep me off the computer even more for awhile as I will probably have some paralysis (temporary) and am not sure how long that will last...Physical Therapy will start 2 weeks after surgery. Will be on one handed when I can to say hello. Take Care all and chat with ya soon

When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, 'Nothing, I just helped him cry' -
An Early Happy Mothers Day for all my friends
Before I was a Mom:
I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom:
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom:
I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests. Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom:
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom:
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.
Before I was a Mom:
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every
10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom. -
LESSON OF THE FENCE
by: Author Unknown
There was a little boy with a bad temper. His father gave
him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his
temper to hammer a nail in the back fence.
The first day the boy had driven thirty-seven nails into the
fence. Then it gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was
easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the
fence
Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at
all. He told his father about it and the father suggested
that the boy now pull out a nail for each day that he was
able to hold his temper.
The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell
his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his
son by the hand and led him to the fence.
"You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the
fence. The fence will never be the same. When we say things
in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put
a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many
times you say 'I'm sorry,' the wound is still there. A
verbal wound is as bad as a physical one."

Surgery update for my friends
Hi ya'll,

Well, this much typing has me done lol
Love ya'll -
Update to all my Netlog Friends
Hi Ya'll,
Sorry I haven't been able to keep in touch with ya'll quite so much. Appears after breaking my arm, alot more damage has been done. I have been back and forth with specialists and have a surgeon now. Will have an MRI on the left arm this coming Friday, see the surgeon next week and prepare for surgery. The break apparently brought more complications on and worsened others that have been festering for awhile. The carpal tunnel release I had 15 yrs ago needs to be done again, I have a bone chip in a tendon in the same wrist close to the pinky side of my wrist, nerve damage in the forearm and tennis elbow and tendinitis....Oh and let's not forget this horribly painful Radial Tunnel Syndrome. Anyway, will have the surgeon fix all at once lol and will be offline for awhile while recovering. Typing this much hurts very much, but didn't want ya'll to think I forgot about you. Please keep me in your prayers that the surgeries go well and I am back to typing away and having fun with all ya'll as quickly as possible with no permanent damage
Love ya and take care of yourselves,
Janet -
