aww, nice to know I was missed

I'm looking after two kids and a dog this week... the one kid, Dave's son, is almost seventeen, so requires little looking after, and the dog, a greyhound, is also reasonably low-maintenance (although I don't like dogs that much so it's a bit of a strain having one around constantly), but the other is a five year old boy who seems to know only TV and pop-tarts, and thus has the attention span (and the imagination) of a gnat

I refuse to let any child in my care, even temporarily, fill their mind or their stomach with junk, so it's been an interesting time...

I'll be back properly next week

xx

(PS my best love and hugs to Moxie )

Oh dear - to be a fly on the wall... Any chance of setting up a cam somewhere StP?! I'd love to see the battle of wills

We're going to a barbeque tonight at a friend's house - I am really looking forward to it - outside contact with people other than Jeremy's dysfunctional family!! Woohoo!!

Yay!!

Thanks Julez!

It's funny (well, no, it actually makes sense) how much easier this part is feeling, since we aren't apart. I'm concerned with getting the AP more than anything b/c we have a wedding to attend October 3rd, and obviously I want Scott to be able to work as soon as he can, but I could kind of care less about the timing of the green card! But, yes, it is a start, and at least we can wait this part out together.

Julez - we should compare notes sometime - I bet Jeremy's family are more dysfunctional than yours!!!

Hi everyone, I'm glad there's been lots of posting since last I visited.

*waves to StP* You've been away for a while, but that's ok, looking after kids takes attention.

Mox - I know I don't know you very well, but some of what I love about VJ is the camraderie, and I'd like to think that runs a little deeper than simply having similar timelines. I've also often wondered how I would feel about coming here if my relationship broke down. In earlier times I think I would have left the forum, but I think now, I have made many friends, and I would stay. I hope you feel the same.

Hi Marta - a friend of mine, who's wife is pregnant sent me pics of her standing in the same outfit in the same position at 15, 18, 21 and 23 weeks, and it made me think of you! I hope you are as happy as she looked in those pictures. They were really a wonder to behold!

I'll have to call you some time and we can compare notes!!! I think my family is pretty screwed up, so its gonna be a tight race!!! May the best psycho family win!!

I dunno - I think we'd need some of that cheap cooking wine you mentioned earlier to get through it - we'd prolly start in tears then just end up laughing as the bottle(s) emptied!!!

[rae_and_scott 1]

Hey Aly, do you have a Trader Joe's near you? I know they are a California thing. Are you familiar with 2-buck Chuck? Probably better than and cheaper than cooking wine!!

[Jeraly 4]

There is one in Cathedral City Walmart also has $2 wine at the moment that we tried for a laugh and it wasn't too bad!!

Careful with that She will disappear again cuz she seems to think it´s cool when people miss her

Have fun, Aly When are you coming for a bbq over here? We are tight on space but we are friendly

Yay!!

That´s great As for being impatient...I am not impatient anymore I just laugh at their faces

W00t! You think you can get to an October wedding when you file in June/July? I would like to think I can get to a September wedding when I file in March

There goes the patience
