i'm getting my writing grove back, and writing has always helped me, no matter what type of times are occuring, it really is theraputic :) i'm very thankful and so glad we have our journals here on DS :) i look forward to continuing to get back into a grove with my writings, and those spirit soaring times to share in will eventually happen :) when tough times happen, it can definitely make things feel jumbled, or feel like things are paused. life can sometimes make it feel like waves and waves are coming at us. You all, and DS, are the constant life raft, that helps us get back on our feet, and balanced again :) i want to thank you all so very much,for not only being here for me, but for the wonderful support you give to help Holly and my family also :) it's incredible, comforting, uplifting, and it truly does give us daily strength, just like the name of this wonderful site, that's blessed our lives, and has gotten us all through some rough times over the years. We love you all, appreciate you all, and we view you all, as our wonderful extended family :) You all make me personally feel, so very comfortable, and welcomed, to write, to share, about anything :) that is a very comforting blessing, because of your constant wonderful understanding, and compassionate support, not only just for me ,but for Holly and our family too :) Thank you all for sharing your days with us, especially in recent days :) it's really helped to read about your daily plans, festivities, or nature you've been enjoying :) it's very nice, hearing about your days, and getting to share in the season with you all :)

it was so nice, getting to have some family over yesterday, it truly was theraputic, comforting, and refreshing :) seeing the kids playing on the trampoline, and seeing my niece's Alyssa, and Kayla look relaxed, and seeing my mom sitting back a bit, it truly was helpful for all of our hearts, and gave us some good hope too :) we're happy Stacey enjoyed her birthday :) it was so nice, of Bobby, family to bring pizza, ice cream cake, and drinks :) Holly even got to bring in a bottle of the sprite zero soda, and i got the rest of the barq's root beer soda :) Holly and i watched a movie last night, it was a long movie, and we decided to save the final 40 minutes of the movie to watch tonight :) we had good sleep again, which is really well, and my mom even had better sleep, my dad got to come home from work earlier last night :) my mom always likes when he's home earlier :)

Blossoming into the new day today, we had some nice early sunshine :) i was up early, enjoying some nice time here on DS, writing to friends, and getting ready for my early morning nature walk :) the weather was beautiful yesterday ,and so nice to see some nice sunshine this morning too, during sunrise time :) i had the coins collecting with Mike show on this morning too, it was nice getting to see some of the weekly featured coins :) yesterday i showed my brother Bobby, some of my new coins, he was happy to see them :) i gathered a big bowl of goodies, and went outside for my early morning nature walk :) i put lots of goodies in our backyard, for our nature friends :) it's been very nature active, with lots of birds and other nature friends visiting our yard :) it's so nice seeing them :) the bird sanctuary area looks super neat, all of the trees have grown a lot, and the nature is very pleaceful, soothing, and brings an amazing peaceful balance :) i walked over to our garden area, to check in on our flourishing summer time garden :)

Summer Garden Greetings! :) Our plants, and garden are doing very well, and flourishing with the s ummer season :) Our plants are growing wild :) we have lots of cucumbers, string beans yellow squash, zuchinni, peppers, tomatoes, and snap peas growing :) Holly and i enjoyed making the banana peppers on baking friday, we made them earlier in the day, before baking friday adventure began. We love pickled banana peppers :) we added in some strips of bell pepper, as Holly loves bell pepper, and wanted to try them when they're pickled :) We're loving the gardening season, and all of the nice harvesting, tending our plants :) We put our tomato plants my brother Charlie gave us, in our backyard garden area, where our other tomato plants are :) Lots of tomatoes growing :) We look forward to making fresh homemade salsa later on this month :) it's gonna be so nice, and is one of our favorite things to make, during summer season :) we'll be picking string beans soon, and also more cucumbers :) the banana peppers plants are doing amazing, it's so nice picking lots of peppers this season :)

We've been hanging out today, Holly and i enjoying some nature, garden time, and i've been having some writing time :) During lunch, Holly and i watched the rest of our new movie :) we put some TWD dvds on during the afternoon :) We're looking forward to the return of TWD show in 3 weeks :) it's going to be great, watching the new season of the show :) i'm planning some writing this upcoming week :) i'm very happy friends have been recieving cards, i'm enjoying lots of summer writing time, which us one of my favorite joys :) my family, Holly, and i have been doing well, with things here, at our home, and have been finding comfort in peaceful joys, as we get our balance back. i would like to take some time here, to write about feelings, emotions, i have in my heart, for my family,but also for myself, and how we all are coping together, during these rough times.

Kayla is doing ok, she was in good spirits yesterday, and went to her bf Zach's birthday party today, which is good for her, to be going out :) We're giving a lot of support also, to my mom, as she's felt an awful brunt of emotions from what happened here on friday. we all are supporting eachother, but are especially making sure my mom is ok. my mom's been on the recieving end ,of very awful controlling, and emotional abuse, by jenn. i call it, a dark cloud of controlling confusion. we all are very upset with jenn, and what she has done to her life, and to all of us, her family. jenn's very controlling, very manipulative, over the years, and it's gotten more severe, due to jenn's rage, her anger, her jealousy, and how she tried to control my mom so much ,so that everything here, was exactly the way jenn wanted. jenn has contacted my mom, through text, and from my mom's sharings with us here, we notice the same, controlling and emotionally abusive ways, that jenn tries to hurt my mom. jenn found out, about our birthday party here for Stacey yesterday. my mom told me personally, that jenn was getting all over her, about us having a birthday party, jenn said to my mom, that's she's upset, that Kayla was outside with us, and that the kids were playing on the trampoline. she tries to control who my mom spends time with. my mom very much loves, and cares about everyone. i don't my mom, jenn has no right, to tell her who she can spend time with.

see, this is the type of person jenn is, she's horrible being like this, controlling, and manipulative. it's very sad, and she truly needs professional, mental health,assistance. i talked with my mom, last evening, and this morning too. i reassured my mom, that what jenn does to her, emotionally controlling and abusing her, is wrong, and i told my mom, she's allowed to enjoy being outside in our yard, to be with family,and not having jenn control who she talks with, and who she spends time with. my mom knows, what jenn says, and wants, is unhealthy. my mom told me, when jenn asked her, why we had a party here, and my mom said, "it was for Stacey", and my mom said, jenn said, "who's Stacey?" jenn seems very out of it, and almost sounds delusional, almost like she's not in a right mental frame of mind. she's gone too far, and she has her court appearance tomorrow. she and mike both were in court, due to a domestic situation with mike's parents, and now she's here again, going to court, for assault, and it's just very upsetting. we all are extremely upset with her. i told my mom, "mom, we realize, what you have done to try to cater, to make everything,and to do everything humanly possible, to please jenn, but see even when you do, and when something happens like friday, you still get the blame from jenn". no matter what, and how much, it'll never be enough, and jenn can't be pleased. her controlling and emotional abusive behavior, can never be pleased. it stresses my mom, and that stresses us all out, because we care very deeply about my mom. jenn got mad at my mom and dad, for going to walmart, because mike dad, (who jenn and mike emotionally abused also along with his mom), works there. it's absolutely rediculous, demanding, controlling, and absolutely unhealthy and wrong. years ago, jenn and mike had issues with some of our neighbors, who have kids who are friends with Kayla and Taylynn, and jenn said, she didn't want their friends coming over here to our house, it got that bad.

i told my mom, she has our full support, guidance, and encouragement. she has been through so much. we all are very upset, with the trauma she caused the kids, Holly,and us all. she scared the kids. Holly has PTSD, she went through a lot, in her past, with relationships, and she was shaken to her core, by what happened friday afternoon, and evening here. we were watching a movie last night,and a guy was talking loud, yelling in the movie,and Holly jumped, and grabbed my arm, because she thought someone was outside our window yelling. it's very upsetting. we've been giving Holly a lot of support, and reassuring her, all is gonna be ok. going outside into nature, brings peacefulness. it's very sad, jenn has done this, to all of us, the kids, all of us adults, she's jeopardized her future, and everything, from family gatherings, birthday's, holidays, etc. she has no one, else to blame, but herself. she has brought this violent lifestyle, upon herself, and vacuums us all into it, at times, that's very unfair, for all of us, who live a peaceful life. she threatens Alyssa, and my mom, she says she'll make a lot of trouble for everyone. we have no idea what she is talking about sometimes. we will continue, tobe there for my mom, for Holly, for all of us here, at our home, for Alyssa, Bobby, family,Charlie, we will continue to make it through these rough times, and are hoping, that finally, jenn has learned a lesson, that will help her improve.

she's not the jenn right now, we knew, and hasn't been for a while, and that's very sad, our hearts have to cope with that, unfairly, but we will cope, the best we can, together. jenn has shown, absolutely no remorse, no regret, and has taken no responsibility, for her actions. until she does, we will never feel comfortable being around her. it's the sad truth, that is very hard to take. she's forced this very hurtful, heart-breaking feelings upon us, our hearts, feelings, emotions, shattered by her behavior of anger, violence,disrespect, and vivious jealousy. we don't want any part of it, and we certainly don't deserve it. she's hurt us all very deeply. We're going to continue on with our days, the way we want, the way we love too, and the way we need too, with positive things to look forward too. we're strong, and will make it through this by keeping surrounded by positive energy :) Thank you angel friends, for your continued comforting care, prayers, and all of your support, that's helping us cope, and manage, through these times. these writings, are directly, from my heart, feelings, and emotions <3

We're having a good, peaceful sunday, with some peaceful nature, garden time, and writing :) my family, Holly, and i are doing ok, and are hanging in there. We're looking forward to keeping to our routines, and traditions this upcoming week, from nature, gardening, writing, sweet treats tuesday, mailing envelopes here from home on super wednesday, watching all our shows, sports radio, movies, and baking friday next friday. :) i'll be taking lots of pictures each day, to share with everyone in my daily journals :) Thank you angel friends, for always being here for us all :) we appreciate your wonderful kindness, being there, and for all of the comforting care you all give us :) BIG GROUP CARING COMFORTING FRIENDSHIP HUG :) We look forward to sharing in many more times, all throughout the upcoming week, and continued joyful, peaceful times of summer season :)
