So, Frances called me this morning and said that Robin was arrested last night. She said that she was informed that Robin was brought into the jail in the wee hours of the morning for driving without a license and for possession of drugs. I called the city jail and they confirmed that she is there for "drug abuse". We informed the lawyer. I'm not sure what will happen from here. Lik...1 Recommendation1 Comment -

Daily Strength - Censorhip? Watch what you write!
Thursday, November 19, 2009
You cannot please all of the people, allof the time. However, it seems to me that DS is not at all operating transparently, and decides, if, when, and how, they will edit or censor posts, sometimes even threads, for no apparent reason, without even giving you a heads' up!
I do not need this type of drama in my life. Which is why I am seriously considering closing my account. But hey, who knows... -

Well, after Phoenix and his pneumonia, my burns, Zion's trip to the hospital with croup, and both my girls sick with either pneumonia or croup, we finally seem to be on the tailend of all the sickness. The doctor didn't even check our girls, and said that since they were both exposed to croup and pneumonia, they were going to be treated as if it was confirmed. It's now bee...8 Comments -

This sucks! When Sora was 2wks old I tried on my "fat" pre-pregnancy clothes and they almost fit.......now 2wks later- no change. *ugh* I know to give myself time but I'm really tired of wearing my pregnancy clothes- and I can't afford new ones. I feel fat and I KNOW I can't "starve" myself skinny since I'm BF. It doesn't help that my husband and MIL feel t...1 Recommendation -

I was asked a question over the weekend and it got me to thinking.
If I could change anything about the way I raised my own children what would it be? The thing that I would have to say would be I would have only worked outside the home the hours they were in school. I would have probably stayed more involved in their personal lives. Spent more quality time with them. I wor...3 Comments -
