Well ladies I think we are all going through the same stuff with our men, you don't want to tell them all the crap and yet we listen to them, well my man starts beefing so I just add mine to, but in the end at least we know were we stand. Got the refund and paid off a couple of his old fines that had OSW on them just so they don't get him when he comes home, but so far everything is fine and can't wait to see him when I go up Sunday, and I have my calls this weekend cause he can't wait to hear my voice. Love the man to death but can't wait for all this crap to be over. All my love to u ladies and keep your heads up.

[Manzanita]

For real though, I have no doubt that each of you and your loved ones will make it! Jen, you know this is where Faith steps in right? I always remember that cuz of you. So STAY UP and know ya girl is thinking bout Jen, Mr.G,

Thanks Marj, Jackie, Steph, okiesis, mom---

This is really incredible, and reminded me that yes...this is when faith must step in....I Am being tested everyday...I never had faith in anything before - I just learned it by going through some rough times,I have to remind myself every day about my faith and hold onto it, even if my husband doesn't have any right now. He is so scared...he feels he must doubt maybe so not to be hurt, he feels he must warn me so he thinks he is protecting my feelings, I made him promise not to do this anymore and he did but then I said..."you can't THINK it either" and he laughed, "really?" my sweet baby doll is acting tough and I told him "baby, I don't want a beast, I want my sweetie" Although I do try to respect the fact that he is going through a lot I do not get, and allow him to say what he needs to, but like you all have said---it is so hard to just listen when i have things I feel as well that need to be acknowledged. I don't want him to feel worse, or more guilty so I keep it to myself mostly but I also need a vent. I do not feel resentment or anger towards him for keeping things to myself, it is just what needs to be done, and this will pass and this is all normal and everything will work out...

I am just so full of thoughts...I cannot turn them off...I took a sick day today from work, I am just tired and need to shake this headache...

I got my tax return today, so I need to work on some more shopping for me and for him if I can get out of the house....

Jen

[montequie]

hi ladies i haven't been here in a couple of days but i been reading all of you. God is amazing how we all feel this way i can relate so much with you unforytunately for me i still dont get calls ,i dont get to visit, i haven't even received letters, so as you can imagine this wait is killing me.
all i can do is pray that he is alright me and his mother do talk a lot and we both worry,this is not normal behavior from him and it breaks my heart not to be able to know anything i can't wait until i hear from him.
it helps to come here because at least here theres people who are going through
the same feelings, he is schedule to come home in july but this looong wait is not doing me any good.
well ladies it felt really good to blow out some steam ill check you ladies later
have a good friday read you all soon!!! god bless lots of love to all

[lostnlonely]

Somehow over the past monthes I've managed to get my PTO addiction under control and then somebody had to introduce me to my space! Now I'm stuck there or here. back and forth. I give up. I think its time to accept the fact I will be in front of my computer till Jimmy comes home. LOL....

[Retired-25]

Hey ladies. Thanks to all of you who had encouraging words for me during this horrible week I've had. It meant a lot to me. I'm doing a LITTLE better :shake: ...kinda. I couldn't get a visit tonight because when I called to schedule my February visits, today was already full. Now I have to wait til Sunday...SUPER BOWL SUNDAY! I told him I will leave early so he won't miss any of the game, but he said he'd rather be with me. I think he was just trying to be sweet and I'll leave early anyway lol. I was able to get the rest of the Friday's this month though. We're still just patiently waiting for some good news, and getting by day to day. He got my vent letter yesterday and he was completely understanding and he said I have the right to feel the way I do about everything. He's a good man - I wouldn't put up with my bitchiness! We've been talking a lot, he's been doing his best to make me laugh every time we talk, and things are going well for the most part. I'll get through this just like I always do.

Other than that, nothing new around here. I'll have to catch up with you all later. I'm still kinda *blah* and I have to get my kiddos ready for bed. Thanks again. (((Hugs)))

[lostnlonely]

Am I the only one stuck at home ..bored.. on a friday night?

[jblovesdb]

Hey ladies...how are you all doing?? Well...my job annoys the crap outta me!!! They now have me working tomorrow from 8 AM till 1pm...which is ok b/c I need the money..but 8 AM?!? YIKES Plus they RE-RESCHEDULED my vacation Now it's not till the 20th!! But I won't put my money on till I actually see it. I have been in such a BAD mood today I don't know what is wrong with me....but this week has NOT been my week:shake: Dave's sister called me today while I was working and left me a message asking if I could send her $75 for some of the calls SHE accepted from DAVE From her message...she was saying that Dave was suppose to talk to me about it. Well...not to mention...I was MAD...and I still don't understand why I have to pay anything It wasn't ME talking to him!! But since I'm gonna end up feeling bad if I don't...I am gonna end up sending her some money atleast I just can't believe that BOTH Dave and her got this crazy idea in their heads that I can just send $75 for nothing!!! They both know my job cut my hours and I got sh** that needs to be paid for!!!! URGH...whatever!! Let's just say...that didn't help the bad mood I was already in!! And Dave WILL be hearing about it when I write him tonight. Sorry I just had to vent ladies. Well...let me get to you lovely ladies real quick. Keep your heads held high!! LOVE YA ALL Have a GREAT weekend!! Hugs
-Jackie

--Alena...girl, I do the same thing When Dave starts beefin' with me...that's when I get out SOME of the crap that's been on my chest lol. I see it as the perfect oppurtunity to let him know what annoys me...since he's already mad anyway I'm glad you paid to some of Bobby's fine off...that's soo sweet of you! I hope you have a wonderful visit on Sunday and I hope you enjoy your phone calls Keep your head up!! LOVE YA!!
--Jen...hey sweetie You gotta remember to keep the faith B/C sometimes that's the only thing that gets you threw the rough times, ya know? I hope MrG stops doubting everything and warning you of what MIGHT happen!!! I feel you girl...it's hard to always LISTEN to what they have to say when you have things that your going threw too! I feel the same way you do...I don't wanna put more pressure on Dave...so I keep my feelings to myself. The only thing he hears is when I BI**H about how he's acting But he doesn't hear the fear, depression, loneliness, worry and all that fun stuff that I go threw. Actually he hears a LITTLE of it...but he doesn't hear it all b/c I don't tell him. You are RIGHT...this too shall pass! I'm glad you got your taxes back Have fun shopping Keep your head up! LOVE YA!!
--Marj...hey Momma How you gonna forget about me like that girl??? LOL...it's all good I hope you have a good weekend at home!! Is it this weekend that your going to see V??? If so...have a GREAT time Keep your head up!! LOVE YA!!
--Robbies...you're right...this is OUR YEAR!!! Keep your head up!! Love ya!
--Montequie...I'm sooo sorry to hear that you are having a rough time right now too Esp. b/c you don't get visit, calls, or letter My heart goes out to you! Have you tried to call the prison he's at just to make sure that he's ok and/or not in lockup??? I would if I was you!! We are all here for you...vent all you need to! Here's a little mail dance for you MAIL DANCE Keep your head up!! LOVE YA!
--Sherry...girl, I can SOO relate!! I swear...there's 20 other things I SHOULD be doing...but NOPE, infront of the computer is were I sit lol. Both PTO and myspace are ADDICTIVE!!!!! Keep your head up! LOVE YA!!
--Steph...I'm glad your doing a LITTLE better I'm sorry that you didn't get to visit Danny today But Sunday is NOT far away!! I hope you have a GREAT visit!!! LOL...that sucks that it's on Super Bowl Sunday:shake: So is my visit...but ours are over by 3:15...so we won't miss it My fingers AND toes are still crossed for you and Danny Good news BETTER be coming your way!!! I'm glad Danny didn't get upset about your vent letter...he's a good man Have a good night! Keep your head up!! LOVE YA!!
--Jvette...it's good to see you back I hope that Adam gets moved REAL SOON so he can do that 6 month program I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! I'm sorry sweetie but I don't have any advice on what you should do about the marriage thing I hope you find your answers!! Keep your head up! LOVE YA!
--Jessica...hey girl I'm glad your parents are gonna help you out financially for the next 2 months That's really nice of them! Best of luck when you start school CONGRATS on your baby girl using the potty I know you must have been proud! Thanks for the encouragement sweetie...it means a lot to me! The prison Dave is at isn't bad...it's just him LOL! No..it's just alotta stress around him coming home...b/c he's basically been locked up since he was 13 (except for a TOTAL of 7 months) and he's 22 now So it scares him coming home...and in return, he can be an a**hole! Keep your head up!! LOVE YA!!
--JimmyDales...WELCOME Keep your head up!!!

Jackie, whats up! yeah, my bad for forgettin ya for a second. see, you arent the only one who is confused at times. Girl I'm sorry Dave's sister wants ya to pay her $75. I mean..I would be HEATED too. She is the one who accepted the calls. and then they cut your hours too..oooh no. yeah, let them hear about it. Although I FEEL ya about eventually sending the money b/c you feel bad. dang, I've done that plenty of times. but for real, you should let tell them how it is cuz you got other expenses and things out here that you gotta use your money on. Hopefully they will understand..shoot they should understand. Sorry the rescheduled your vacation.

[Retired-25]

Hey girlies! I really wish I knew when I'd get outta this funk. Today's just another blah day. It's snowing like crazy here and it's too cold to do anything. I'm just hangin out at home with my boys, and my daughter just left to spend the night with my mom. I have sooo much to do around here because the painters come on Monday to paint my entire house (except two rooms) and they'll be here all week while I'm at work. I have to get all of the clothes, pictures, etc. out of their way. I really should do the cleaning/organizing today since I have a visit with the man tomorrow, plus it's big game day...but nahhh! I have NO energy at all. :shake: All I want to do is get under the covers and watch movies all day lol.

Well, I just wanted to stop in and say hi to everyone. I'm about to go find something on tv. I hope you're all having a great weekend so far. (((Hugs)))

~Steph

[Manzanita]

hey!

I just got home, I finally bought our new dresser today!!!! It will be delivered on Saturday, I feel bad he could not help pick it out but I had to do it....it is cute with 6 drawers so 3 for each and a middle cabinet for like cologne and stuff....so cute!

I also got him a watch and got myself some panties and bras... I am supposed to go back out tomorrow for more shopping! I hope I am not going overboard but we need so much, both of us! My mom mentioned giving us some cash but I am just going to give it him when he gets out to have in his pocket. How much do they need you think? He wants to shop for some stuff on his own too, like sneakers, and his family is supposed to give me money for that...who knows when though?

well, I am on my way out again...going out to dinner and movie with a friend!

I love me some shopping! feels so good to do this for myself and him, FINALLY!!

Hang in there ladies, hugs, Jen~

[jblovesdb]

Hey ladies I hope you are all doing good AWW...Dave has been trying to call me off the hook since we last talked on Wed It breaks my heart...but da*n...he KNEW I wasn't gonna have money to put on the phone till today So now that I finally got the money on the phone...he hasn't called Go figure I'm just over here wondering what is was he had to say....I hope he's ok!! I know he's probably just stressin'...so I hope he calls tonight. As for me...I'm still funkin' it!:shake: Last night I was up till 3 am b/c I was just thinking about a bunch of crap...and I couldn't fall asleep. Then I had to wake up at 6 am to get up for work!! That SUCKED I worked from 8-1...and now I'm just over here being lazy. I didn't feel good when I woke up this morning...b/c I think I ate WAY too much yesterday (b/c I was sad...so I ate me alotta chips and dip) Anyways...I had to do somethings today...but I have managed to do nothing but go to work and go tanning. Oh well...there's always another day lol. I hope you are all doing good today The rain over here ain't helping my mood!!!:shake: Keep your heads held high!! LOVE YA ALL Hugs
-Jackie

--Marj...hey Momma I'm glad your enjoying your day just relaxing That sucks that it's mad cold down there today!! I know you like the winter girl...so I hope you do get some snow...and you can keep it down there...b/c I HATE it!!! Oh girl...the whole thing about sending her $75 has really got me heated Yesterday I was more annoyed about it...now I'm trying to figure out how I'm suppose to do it!!! His sister was really nice about it when I told her I didn't have it now...but I feel bad now, so I'm gonna send it anyway I'm just mad that they would even put me in this situation b/c they both know I can't say no! URGH!! Oh well...she is gonna be giving us a place to live...so I guess I really can't complain TOO much! I hope you have a GREAT visit tomorrow Enjoy your time with V Keep your head up!! LOVE YA!!
--Steph...hey Ma I'm sorry that your still in a funk too!!! Girl...this always happens...we are both usually going threw it at the same time So...be happy girl...b/c then hopefully I'll be happier too I'm sorry it's snowing and freezing there!!!

--Jen...hey sweetie!!! WOO-HOO I'm glad you finally got your dresser B/C I know that was one of the things you used to stress about getting before MrG comes home!! I'm glad you really like it girl That's soo nice that you got him a watch too And big ups on getting some new bras and panties B/C you KNOW your gonna be needing them...actually, wait, LOL...you won't be needing them Shop responsibly girl I am just giving Dave $50 in his wallet when he comes home...so he will feel like he has his own money, ya know? I also plan on using $200 that I have saved to give him so he can buy some of his own stuff. I think that's a fair amount...since I already spent ALOT on him!!! I hope you have a good day at dinner and movie!!! Enjoy yourself!! Keep your head up! LOVE YA!!

-Jackie

[momof2girls]

Hello ladies! I talked to James tonight! Great news! He passed his GED test. He got the highest score in the class. He was so happy! I am too! I've been studying like crazy for my test! It's on the 15th. Well, I know it's short tonight but I'm so tired. This whole process of waiting is exhausting. Hope all of you are hanging in there.Talk to you all soon!

[okiesis]

Hey momof2girls congrats to you and james both for improving your lives that's great
wish ya'll the best. Talked to my hubby tonight and he is so excited that we're coming to see him, Sunday(today), giving him another surprise his mom and our great nephew are coming to and the baby is only 5 months old so he'll love the h--* out of that. But it'll be good to be able to touch him finally seems like its been forever. Well hello to everyone else and keep your heads up. Love to all, Alena

[Manzanita]

sooooooooooo...

I ate at this Spanish restaurant and we had Paella and Sangria, yum! Then icecream, and then we ended up seeing "Something New" it was such a cute movie...really good one

I got a letter from the hubby too, on my way out the door, responding to our phone call (where I kind of stressed him out -) well, he is not mad or anything like that but I did stress him out, I keep forgetting that he has been in there for so many years...and he is so scared, he cannot tell me how things are going to be, he has no clue yet...Jackie, and Steph, like you said....there is a thin line between "sparing his feelings or taking a chance on making him feel guilty just so I can get my own feelings out there to him?" and "my crap effects him But at the same time his crap effects ME!!! "

...I have been reading up on things, on couples living together for the first time, new marriages, tips and stuff....sounds corny but it has been helping, and I need to learn so much! I was reading at the library...did you know there is a book Marriage for Dummies? LOL....boy is that me! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/076...lance&n=283155

Let's face it, I am scared to death too, I am afraid of messing this one up. I am no expert at this relationship stuff and cannot say I have ever seen something work out in my lifetime....This man is special and we are special, I don't want to ruin this!

anyways, there is so much to work on, including my flabby butt! LOL
night, morning, see ya when I wake up. LOL
Jen~
