FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been trying to post in here for weeks...but here I am!
I miss you all & hope you are doing well.
Ok, so I'm in the final countdown now. Under 30 days until Michael is home. WOW! Things have been getting better for me...I am working again, many hours, but I will be caught up soon, so I'm excited. I haven't been able to visit Michael in a few weeks, the first week because of money, now for some reason MDOC tranfers him back to Coldwater, which is 2 hours away & they only have visitation on the weekends. Why would they do that with only weeks left until his release. I don't get it, but whatever...he'll be home soon, so I don't care!!
Anyway...I hope to be talking to you all regularly again, keep those heads up!!!!!!!!!!!!

much love

Hey ladies...how are you all doing? Well, I talked to the man twice today...and OF COURSE we didn't exactly get along

Have I ever stated....I HATE THIS PRISON ISH

I'm ready for it to be O-V-E-R...OVER!!!!!!!!!! I'm tired of this depressed/iritable feeling...BLAH!

Ok I had to get that out lol...but on a good note...Dave told me not to get suped up...b/c he doesn't know for sure. But his boy's job in there is Dave's social worker's helper....well, when his boy was down there working today...he SUPPOSIVELY seen a release paper with Dave's name on it. It said that his release date was March 1?...not as in March 1st...but 11-19

Which he still has work days that get credited every month to his date...and his projected release date is March 12th

SO now I hate the suspense lol...I wanna know WHAT DAY he is coming home!!! B/C on Sat...Dave's date should change from the 26th to about the 23rd...so I wanna know EXACTLY when he's coming home lol. Well...I just wanted to share that with you ladies....now let me get to you lovely ladies

momof2girls · #**2603** 01-24-2006, 05:54 PM

Hey there ladies! How was your day? Mine started before the sun came up. My youngest daughter, Alyssa, decided at 5am that she had enough sleep. So I've been up and going all day long. Exhausted isn't even the word for it. My doctor's appt went fine! I've got to go back on Feb 7th.
Steph- I'm absolutely positive that I want to get my tubes tied because in Nov 2004 I had to have surgery for cervical cancer. My body never healed the way it should have and doctors say it would be best for me not to have anymore children. It was really upsetting news because my husband and I wanted to try for a boy. But there's always a reason for something! But thanks for the advice.
Jackie- I'm sure your getting excited about your "DORK" coming home in 2 months. I'm so excited for you. Just like you tell me keep your head up . He'll be here before you know it!

Well, I hope you all have a wonderful evening. Talk again soon!
Jessica

jblovesdb · #**2604** 01-24-2006, 06:09 PM

Hey Jessica...how you doing girl?? SO you got an EARLY morning today, huh?? That stinks

But hopefully she will decide to take it down EARLY tonight! So you can get some sleep!! I'm glad your doctors appointment went fine

Good luck with getting your tubes tied...I hope you have a speedy recovery from that! Thanks girl!! I am getting excited about my DORK coming home

Keep your head up!!! LOVE YA!! Hugs

-Jackie

Retired-25 · #**2605** 01-24-2006, 07:38 PM

Hey ladies! I'm just hangin around here while I watch American Idol and wait for my last phone call of the day. This show is crackin me UP!

Whew...some of these people can't hold a note to save their lives, but dang if they don't TRY LOL! My boy's sooo sick and he sounds miserable everytime we talk.

I hope he feels better by Friday. Well, I hope he feels better by tomorrow, but ya know lol. Anyway....

Jenn - Girl it's sooo good to see you back around here!! I'm glad you're working and making some of that money! I can't believe it's almost time for Michael to come home!

Sorry that he got moved farther from you, but at least it's almost OVER! Hang in there girlie...love ya!
Jackie - Aww sorry about the phone calls girl!

You know as well as I do that this is the wildest roller coaster ride we'll ever be on!

One day things are great, and the next day it's back to being heated over some crazy stuff! Things will be allll good with you two real soon sweetie! Hang in there til Sunday!! It's almost over!

I REALLY hope you get a definite date SOON because I know how that feels...unfortunately.

I'm glad you're still counting me down with you because I gave up on the countdown til I know something FOR SURE! Girl, I get a nice amount back lol. It kinda happens that way when ya work your butt off and raise 3 kids ALONE!

This will probably be the last year for that though, so I'm taking advantage!

Hope you're having a nice night. I'm gonna stop here now cause I could write a novel to you alone LOL! Love ya girl!
Jessica - Aww sweetie, I'm sorry about what I said earlier about your surgery then.

I TOTALLY understand why you have to do it because of health reasons! Good luck with everything you're going through girl! I'm glad your appointment went well today. Now I hope you're getting some rest after the long day you've had! Hang in there!

OK, back to my show for now. Catch up with yall later! Have a wonderful night. (((((Hugs)))))

Hey ladies!! How's everybody? Sorry I haven't been on in a few days--been real busy with school. So how's everybody's week been going? Good I hope. I'm going to see Brian on Sunday. I got a letter from him today and two cards that were really nice. Anybody else going to see their man this weekend?

Scarysgirl · #**2608** 01-24-2006, 10:38 PM

ONLY 15 DAYS LEFT TILL WE GO TO COURT TO SEE IF HE IS FINALLY COMING HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE DUMBEST CHARGE AND THE LONGEST TIME EVER DONE.

This chick has had it !!!!!

32 MONTHS THE COUNTY HAS TAKEN FROM US OUT OF THE PAST 55

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, IT'S TIME FOR HIM TO COME HOME AND STAY HOME!

I LOVE MY PTOers!!!

lostnlonely · #**2609** 01-25-2006, 01:03 AM

HI!!!! You people have no idea how much I miss my PTO when I don't have time to get on. I've been workin like crazy! I'm gonna try to catch up on everything but first let me say like always I'm STRESSED!

I sent Jimmy 50 hard earned dollars and he blows it in 1 day

. I'm sittin here payin a $400 per month car payment for a truck that I hate (but it's his pride and joy so I want him to have it when he comes home), crazy phone bills, all the regular bills and anything and everthing alse you can imagine and he acts like 50 is nothin! I didn't let him know I was furious but he does know I'm irritated. I'm just worried about when he comes home b/c if he can't budget 50 hows he gonna help me maintain our future home?

O.k. I'm better now. Jimmy's mom came into my job tonite and she barely spoke to me. I wish she wouldn't come in ever but I can't stop it b/c Jimmy's dad is the manager of the place and she comes b/c everything is free.

I've worked like 40 hours in 3 days and I'm so incredibly sick of dealing w/ idiotic people I can't stand it but I've got tomorrow off and I'm celebrating w/ a six pack. Well enough about me here's to all of my most favoritist peoples - My PTO family -

Jackie - How do you keep up? Always your here giving everyone the support and encouragement they need. You know we all love you right?

I'm sorry you had crappy phone calls. Boys are stupid!! But we love em anyway huh? Just think not much longer! You can do it!

"do any of you doubt, or worry you won't make it? do you ever feel like he may not need you anymore? That he might find a hotter chick, and leave you???

"

MrsG - I worry every minute of every day about this stuff but I keep telling myself it just comes down to faith. And if our faith is strong enough to get us through this seperation and all that comes with it; then it is definitely strong enough to get us through our doubts and fears. It's so hard sometimes to force myself to not be scared but then again why should I wait for him if only to live in fear? So I have to believe in him and us and know that everything will be ok.

Kobe - No visits for me

I don't think I'll be able to go till like 2-12

. But I'll survive and it will be that much better. How r u?

Well now that the exhaustion is setting in I'm off to bed I'll finish tomorrow.
Love ya, Sherry

Gypsy_soul · #**2610** 01-25-2006, 11:40 AM

jblovesdb · #**2612** 01-25-2006, 06:16 PM

Hey ladies...how are you all doing?? Well, I got a letter from the man today

And he better LOVE me...b/c I put MORE freakin' money on the phone!!!

I can't go this whole week without talking to him lol. Besides that...it's the same old ish around here. I kinda got that BLAH feeling...which sucks! But I'll be FINE

Let me get to you ladies.....

--Jen...hey girlie!

Keep your head up! LOVE YA!!
--Jenn (Gypsy)...LOL...I was gonna start a countdown thread for you last night

BUT, I got side tracked...sorry

lol. But Marj got you!!

Keep your head up! LOVE YA!!
--Sherry...I know how you feel girl...the days I can't make it onto PTO, I feel like I'm missing something

lol. I am sorry that Jimmy spent the $50 in one day!!! I would be heated too

But Dave does that to me...b/c by the time I actually come up with some money to send him (which is like every 3 months)...he has NOTHING...so he NEEDS to use the money on all his essentials. SO...MAYBE that's what Jimmy had to do?! I'm sorry about Jimmy's Mom coming in all the time....I hope you two can work out your differences soon

That's great that you have off tomorrow

I know you need it!! LOL...I have no idea how I keep up...besides the fact I catch up...then I stay on PTO for like 2-3 hours, so I just keep on catching up lol. BOYS ARE STUPID!!!!

But your right...we do love them anyway

Can't live with them...can't live without them! Keep your head up! LOVE YA!!
--Scarys...hey girl

BEST OF LUCK with the upcoming court date

I got my fingers crossed for you girl!!! I hope Scary comes home and STAYS home!!! Keep your head up! Love ya!
--Sue...hey girl

I'm glad you got a letter and 2 cards today

That is great!!! I hope you have a great visit on Sun!! I will be seeing the Dork on Sun

Keep your head up!! LOVE YA!!
--Marj...hey Momma

How you doing girl?? YES MOMMA...please wait till 50

I can't be having reality hit me from NOW till March...I'll go insane!!!

I'm not getting too suped up about Dave coming home in the 1?s of March...but I am HOPING

We will just have to see...I won't believe anything till he signs those papers saying the EXACT day he's getting out!!! Keep your head up! LOVE YA!!
--Steph...hey Ma! I watched American Idol last night too (well, part of it) and it was SOO funny!! Do those peeps REALLY think they can sing??? NO WAY:shake: But it is good entertainment lol. AWW

I'm sorry that Danny still doesn't feel well! Hopefully he feels better REAL soon!! Girl...I don't EVER wanna ride a roller coaster like this AGAIN! It's sooo draining!

I can't wait for it to be OVER! I hope you have fun spending that money girl

I'm a little jelous LOL...but you deserve it!!!! Keep your head up!! LOVE YA!!!

Aight ladies...I gotta go look around PTO

Then I think I'm gonna write the man, even though I am not in the mood

KEEP YOUR HEADS HELD HIGH!!!! Have a good night ladies! LOVE YA ALL

Hugs

-Jackie

momof2girls · #**2613** 01-25-2006, 07:25 PM

But you gotta do what you gotta do, ya know??? *SIGH* COME ON MARCH

Keep your heads held high!!! LOVE YA LADIES

Hugs

-Jackie

Scarysgirl · #**2615** 01-25-2006, 09:37 PM

I came on to say Hi to y'all but it looks like you have already hit the hay.

sue6811 · #**2616** 01-25-2006, 10:30 PM

Hi ladies!! Yea, looks like everyone has turned in for the night. I have a headache so I think I'll turn in too. Catch you gals tomorrow!!

Gypsy_soul · #**2617** 01-25-2006, 11:25 PM

Here I am, late-comer as always...just finished 9 days straight at the new job, now I have the next 2 days off. You know I'll be lovin it & it'll go by too fast!

Jen~You're right, it's getting close...19 days now. I can't believe it! Hope your doing well, it's been too long since we spoke!

Jackie~Hey baby girl...I totally know what your saying, I started slacking on the letters right about where you are now, I just didn't have anything new or interesting to say. I hope you don't let the "blah's" get to you too much though, you deserve happiness. Do whatever you can to bring that mood up, ok. And, as always, if you need anything at all, you let me know, k? love ya kid!!!!

Jessica~I'm sorry to hear that your baby is sick, I hope it's nothing bad & that she shakes it real soon. There is nothing worse than a sick child.

Wendy~Hope you had a good day yourself...

Sue~I hope you wake up headache free tomorrow!

Ok ladies, I gotta run...but let me just leave you all with this thought...remember that tomorrow puts us one day closer to freedom & a more normal life, one not filled with letters, far too overpriced phone calls & painfully short prison visits. IT IS OUR YEAR!!!!!!!

curious824 · #**2618** 01-26-2006, 07:42 AM

Retired-25 · #**2620** 01-26-2006, 08:35 AM

Hey girls! Well, so much for my keeping up in here!

I was soooo busy yesterday at work that I didn't even get online. Then last night, my kids were bouncing off the walls so I couldn't concentrate long enough to post! Luckily, today is a much slower day around here so I'm watching Dr. Phil and checking up on everyone.

OK, well I WAS watching Dr. Phil until the president just interrupted it.

I hope you're all having a great morning.

Marj ~ Hey momma! How's school going this week? Girl, American Idol cracks me up! I get embarrassed for some of those people, but some of 'em just need a reality check lol. Danny's feeling better already.

Can't wait to see him tomorrow! I hope everything's going well for you and V! I feel like I haven't talked to ya in ages. Have a good one and hopefully we'll talk again soon. Love you!
Sue ~ I'm glad ya got a letter and two cards from Brian this week!

I hope school's going well. Have a great day and a wonderful visit on Sunday!
Wendy ~ Good luck to you and your man in court! I hope he gets to come home to you REAL soon! Hang in there!
Sherry ~ Try not to be TOO stressed...I know, easier said than done! I know how it is to work, work, work to pay bills and keep food on the table and then send money when you have some extra and it's gone within a day!

Like Jackie said, by the time he gets my money he has NOTHING and he has no choice but to spend it all at once. Hang in there and this will all be over with SOON! I hope things get better for you and his mom too. Have a great day off!
Jen ~ I hope things are going well for you. I feel like I haven't talked to you in ages too! Hope you're having a good day. Love ya!
Jackie ~ Hey hey girl! Aww I'm glad you got to talk to Dave this morning

and things are GOOD! I'm looking forward to this drama being OVER too, but hang on sweetie cause we're almost DONE! Danny's feeling better and I can't wait to go see him tomorrow...I feel like it's been a month!

Have a good day at work - ya know, if that's possible lol. Talk to ya soon. Love ya!
Jessica ~ Sorry to hear that your baby girl is sick!

I hope you both got some rest last night. Hang in there!
Jenn ~ Wow, you're working a lot but I guess that's a GOOD thing huh? Money's always nice.

I hope you have two good days OFF though, you deserve it. This is almost over for you girl. Woohooo!!
curious ~ Sorry you're feeling *blah* lately and hopefully it will pass SOON! It's good that you exercised though, which is more than I've physically done in the past week lol. Hang in there and have a good day!

Well, I'm gonna wander around and wait for the man to call me soon. I hope you all have a great Thursday. 5 more days and we'll be heading into February!

Catch up with yall later. ((((Hugs))))

~Steph
