I received a letter from my brother in the mail.  It outlined further his abuse and neglect as a child, what his life could have been like had my dad allowed aunts and uncles on that side of the...

I like stormy weather, usually, but really?  Huge hail more than once in a couple days is a little much :)  Oh well, it's supposed to clear off by next Tuesday or Wednesday LOLI've been mainly...

I'm still feeling at an impasse a bit.  Life is moving on.  I had a big Arabic test today (yes, only 2 days after the speech!!) and did okay, it was also not my best.  I think I am on Arabic...

I feel like I have been away soooo much this week.  I know I've posted here and there and wrote in my journal, but it's been crazy busy! I almost backed out on doing my Arabic speech because I...

I had a quick dinner with my cousin tonight.  This made me wonder, what is one's lot in life?  Is it karma, and what comes around, does it always go around?  Or is this some b.s. that just keeps...

This is try two - as my huge journal last night got lost in cyberspace!!  I am glad, though, because I was able to read Pageo's post today and it really related to the original journal and helped a...

My daughter has started to do more activities with her new boyfriend.  This is great!  I am happy for her, but I have discovered that her boyfriend lives right across the street from the N.  Her...

So, Ms. Nice over here was going to bow out of the Arabic speech competition because time is running out and I'm not even ready...until the professor said I was the only one from our class who...

Well, I am feeling so good that I found some me time this week!  After my first date, I was asked to coffee by another young man.  We had a nice coffee and when I told him that I needed to go pick...

Wow - there is much to say, I guess.  Can't probably organize all the thoughts into this one writing.  The insights, they seem to filter in (usual at weird times when you least expect them).One, I...

So, a few days after he was arrested, he left the country to visit his parents for a month.  It was a quiet, tense fe days. I moved and the kids and I just left his things sitting in the house.  I...

I have a little time here.  Since it seems to be helping a little with insights seeing everything written out...I will finish it.After doing so well during our separation and really just thinking -...

It does feel strange just to have a date.  He came to pick me up, brought flowers.  He got to meet my daughter (who held puppies from attacking him with too much wiggles and lovies - they are...

A break from Losing Myself, to let some of what I've written sink in and to somehow pull myself together. My date (that hasn't been able to make it twice due to his travel schedule for work) text...

This cycle of living (if you can call it that) we had fallen into continued until it all came to a head one day.  I was already fighting normal suspicions that he is just all over the place.  A...
