Hi everyone, Blondie, counting down the days! How exciting. So happy for you and your family.
It is ok about the job, but the kicker is doing the 8 hr. Days the first week to train her...shouldn't she already know..but will take the extra 8 hr pay for the week. And yes my worst nightmare with Crystal too. He sure knows how to get to her, and take advantage of her lonelyness. Her therapist told her it is not good to. At least she is still going once a week.
Anna, praying for your girl! How to get through to temporarily over the phone is not easy. Maybe she should give spyder remedy a try. Happy you are finally finished with all the hard work and can now relax. I don't know how Crystal would be with talking to Catherine, she is not happy with me right now..not keeping my thoughts to myself! But it is worth a try. If you think your friends can convince the POS to leave her alone, I say do it. She just can't know I had anything to do with it..LOL I just can't belive she is allowing herself to be controlled by him again...
So now I have written a novel.LOL pleas keep her in your prayers..and pray he goes away soon!

And, have her go get calming meds from drug store...naturopathic and it should help. At least I hope so.
Catsmom, maybe Anna's friend can assist;)

Hello Everyone!!!
I have a just a few minutes to check in while waiting for my kitchen and back hallway floors to dry. Down on my hands and knees scrubbing these bad boys. Better get my security deposit back. Couldn't make this place any cleaner without painting the walls myself!!!! But almost done. While on hands and knees I see where I forgot to wipe the bottom splash board under the dishwasher and I need to scrub an area of the wall where the cats food and water dish used to sit. In the last few months of my 15 year old white kitty life she got into the habit of playing in her water fountain and splashing water on the wall behind it. Thank you Miranda!!!!!
Anyway, walk through is in a couple hours so I just need to wait for floors to dry!!!
Catsmom,
What a bummer about the job!! I am so sorry you didn't get it. Will you stay on in your previous position with this new manager? I hope and pray she is a good boss!!!! Now, about our girl!?!?! I do understand her thinking she can change him. We know from years of wisdom that it won't happen and only lead to more pain for her. Catherine used to feel the same way about her X. I wonder if Crystal would be open to corresponding with Catherine about this. Catherine may be able to get to her better than we can considering her experience and their age. I also still have a Richmond County Sheriff friend I can message via facebook. Oh and she's married to a RCSO!!! Just say the word and I will contact her!! I will find time!!
Spyder,
How exciting to see your girl soon!!! Enjoy the special time together!!
Blondie,
I hope you have a safe and RELAXING trip!!! And good weather!!!
I need to ask for special prayers from my fellow Navy Moms - - Jennifer is 16 calendar days away from earning her gold wings and finally getting finished with all her training. But because she has been having some high blood pressure lately the flight surgeon grounded her!!! She has ONE LAST FLIGHT she needs to get in before winging and she can't go!!! She is beside herself and calling me crying on the phone!!! And of course, all this stress only causes more high blood pressure. How does a Mom and a Dad tell a young Naval Officer to calm down over the phone???? She's even worried that we will loose the money for the plane tickets we bought to come to her winging ceremony. Dad told her we will be there anyway!!! He already put in for vacation. Please pray that the doctor lifts her restriction, that her blood pressure goes down at least long enough to get this last flight done, and that she can still earn her wings on Sept 12.

Thanks spyder, wasn't meant to be, and thanks for the extra prayers! Good to have all of you in my life! Yeah maybe Anna's friend knows some people to talk to the POS...LOL, I think Anna has no spare time now. :-)

Sucks you didn't get the job...must be something better in the wind for you! Sucks even more she let him back in...if only we could give our wisdom. Extra Prayers sent...maybe in Anna's spare time she can reach out??? Not that there is spare time unfortunately.
