This doesn't just apply to romantic partners or family.

and once you realize you've lost those things....get them back.

Tomorrow.  Whatever happens else happens I'm reclaiming who I am.  With some of this...

and a little of this....

I'm not proud that I've allowed myself to be broken, but I'll be damned if I'm going to stay that way.

(none of the cryptic whingijng is referring to the extremely supportive!r. Buffy, either of the young Messers Buffy, or mini-Buffy.  Or the four legged cadre of buffettes.)

Amen!  People who poke you down in a hole, making you question your worth and intelligence... well, they have a special place.

Tomorrow is another day, and then it is the WEEKEND  :)

Best of luck for tomorrow!

I may put your goldfish meme as my wallpaper for awhile. It's stupid, but I keep panicking at the prospect of 10 (ish) weeks of summer vacation with just me and the kids together day after day after day. I haven't scheduled any of the swimming lessons, dance classes, or whatever that I kept saying all school year, "Maybe you can do that during summer vacation." I feel silly to be so scared of change. It just sucks to not have any time that I can depend on someone else taking charge of the kids for a few hours. A few random hours on the weekend just doesn't measure up to a predictable school schedule. 

Anyway, that's what's giving me a borderline panic attack. I really hope your reclaiming of your identity goes well tomorrow. Show 'em a really scary shark fin!

10ish weeks of school holidays in one go? Definitely worthy of a major panic I reckon.  I thought six was bad! 

Buffy, good luck with getting sorted whatever needs sorting, be brave like that great goldfish!

     I don't remember, or perhaps I never knew, how old are your kiddos? 

Today is the first day of break and I am in the same boat. Going to the community pool in a bit.

Buffy, keep us posted!

Still standing...thanks for the love!  I'm okay...better than I've been in a very long time, actually.

Dignity and self-respect reclaimed and they look damn good on me, if I do say so myself. :)

5 and 7. I feel a bit less panicky today, but I'm still a disorganized mess. :pb_rollseyes: Sometimes it seems like parenting magnifies all my flaws. It's good to remember that most parents in the US are in the same position as far as filling in their summer break. :pb_smile:

Yay! I'm glad for you. :my_heart: (Sorry I vented all over your blog. Next time I'll try to make it to Venting and Complaining in time. :my_smile: )

Don't be silly - vent away!  And I totally know how you feel - it's daunting when they are that age.  Too young to be unsupervised, too old to be entertained by a game of peekaboo and a nap.

Thanks! I wasn't too worried that you'd mind.

All those things my teachers said over the years about not using my time wisely turned out to be true. It's so annoying when that happens!

      He was more than big. He was their "scholar in residence."

      He was also best man at Doug's & Beall's wedding:

      He spoke at the big history conferences and Titanic events, went on the European and Greek tours. He had stuff for sale all over the catalog. He and Joe Morecraft were Doug's right hand men at a lot of those big events.

      Idaho Tries 8 Times to Execute Prisoner
      On 3/7/2024 at 1:30 PM, WhatWouldJohnCrichtonDo? said:

      I was curious about the fellow inmate Creech was convicted of murdering in 1981, the murder for which he received this death sentence. (His previous death sentence for 2 murders in 1974 was reduced to life in prison, because of a 1979 supreme court ruling about the unconstitutional nature of the Idaho law of the time.)

      I found an article from 2019 on East Idaho News. Apparently the sheriff and county prosecutor at the time believed that Creech was a danger to fellow inmates.

      Reportedly the other inmate, David Jensen, attacked Creech first. 

        Reveal hidden contents

      Court documents say David Dale Jensen attacked Thomas Creech with a sock filled with batteries.

      Creech was able to take the weapon away from Jensen, and it was that same weapon Creech would later use to beat Jensen to death.

      (clipped)

      Creech went on to claim self-defense in the incident, but the prosecution argued he went above and beyond self-defense.

      There are a lot more colorful details in that article than the more recent ones have had. Including Creech admitting to at least 26 murders, including some for "satanic cult worship rituals". It gave me the impression that Creech was really unstable, at least back in the 1980s. That isn't how his wife and prison friends describe him now, but I can't imagine trusting him, personally. 

      I was watching some YouTube videos of the Darrell Brooks trial today.  Both the judge and prosecutor described that fornicate stick Brooks as pure evil and a danger to the community - part of the reason he should die in prison or be subjected to the death penalty.  (Unfortunately Wisconsin doesn't have the death penalty).  As I said before an adult having to spend the rest of his or her life in prison is far worse than the early release they'd get if the state ended their lives, but I do believe there are a handful of crimes when the death penalty is warranted.  Both in the Brooks case and in the Creech case.

      Bontragers/Bowers/Helferichs 13: In the Middle of Jesus’ First Relationship
      10 hours ago, postscript said:

      I get the impression the Bontrager marriages are semi-arranged. Marlin and the other patriarch decide two of their kids would be a good match, tell the kids to pray about each other as potential mates, and start planning the wedding. I don’t think Marlin would force his kids to marry anyone they didn’t get along with, but he sees parental approval as more important than romantic love. 

      I think they vary widely. John and Chelsy no, Mitchell and Bryn no, Denver and Praise no. Allison and Jeremiah, 100%; Carson and Lina 100%; and then Josh and Cass were gray area.

      According to a guest post they wrote on the Bont blog, Cassidy developed a crush on Josh while being told to pray about her sister and Carson, but Cass thought Josh was out of her league. Josh talks about being terrified to talk to Curtis about pursuing her, and appreciating not only her devotion to God, but her intelligence, playful personality, and joy.

      Taylor and Susanna also seem like gray area. Semi-arranged because of two sets of sibs already being married, but at the same time Taylor has Bible Bee money and Susanna is really pretty, and their wedding pics on Chelsy's blog show far more chemistry than Allison and Jeremiah, but less chemistry than Denver and Praise.

      I'll be curious to see their final three. The odds seem high that there'll be at least one more Bowers and one more Helferich match -there are just too many similar ages.
