Yardies a home and a farrin - Part 26!

[sugarapple 1]

JAPrincess stay strong I know exactly how you feel...My fiance missed his first born greatly and I decided to send my son in March, then I missed him greatly..I prayed that we could be together for his second birthday as he missed his first and the Lord answered our prayers

Jah shall answer all your prayers..Stay strong princess Jah shall guide and strength you on the rest of your journey.

So let me finish my update and get out of here before my boss fires me...

I had 4 months of maternity leave because I had complications with my c-section. I was entitled to another 6 weeks of "bonding time" but when I called my boss to discuss it, I was in not so many words told that if I wanted my job I needed to come back to work ASAP

I had saved some money and was planning on taking baby girl to see her daddy in those 6 weeks, but with the income requirements for AOS I need this job. So back to work I went on April 26th. I was basically starting over, all my leads were given away while I was gone and I was told that I would be under strict review in regards to attendance. After 10 years with this company, no one here thought I was coming back, and I did not feel welcomed AT ALL. They said that they did not think I could handle a full time job and two kids alone But Imma show them... in the last week I have gotten 3 appointment (I do sales) and every day I prove that I am the best they got! BOOM!

sorry I had to add that!

So I will not be able to idle in the daytime just what I have typed this morning has taken up too much time... I will try to come on more in the evenings and share and read, but I tell you I leave home at 7:45am and after going to pick up babygirl I sometimes don't get home till 8pm or later... by the time I talk to honey it's all I can do but fall into bed and rest myself for another day...

One great, wonderful thing I can share before I go:

I decided to spend some of the airfare money I saved on a netbook for my honey. I went to BestBuy here in Cali and payed for it, and our very own Thompson2 walked into a best buy in FL picked it up and carried it to MoBay! I tell you that was the best money I ever spent. Seeing his smiling face in my computer screen has been WONDERFUL, and him being able to see his daughter has truly opened his eyes to the beauty of technology! He is still learning, but thank God he is a quick learner!

Thank you Thompson2

So that's what's going on with me... one day at a time...

Why would they threaten you like that? Weren't you on FMLA?

omg i think i might cry

today is my first day back to work and everyone i work with is so lovely! As a result of my return, the boss bought everyone lunch, everyone in my department got flowers as a thank you for all who worked extra while i was away, and each person gave me a mothers day gift....all the gifts have a noahs ark theme (since all the animals on the ark are in twos...and i have twins, get it?)..noahs ark picture frame, book, toys, clothes..

i miss my girls bad bad right now tho...

hubby called and sounds like everything is under control on the home front tho

Aww I hate that feeling......

Ok, something I gotta post... Yall know I am not one of those bible quoting people thats just not me.....Glad for those that are but I keep my faith inside (catholic born and raised). I am a very spiritual person and always try to do whats right bla bla bla..... ANYWAY... what yall prolly don't know is that I am the worst procrastinator of all time! YES, the first step of dealing with the problem is admitting you have one so there...!!

My journey has somewhat been delayed by RGD....but also by me! I am slow to fill out and send in paperwork. It has NOTHING TO DO WITH MY LOVE FOR MY HUSBAND (just wanted to make that clear)...this is just how I am in every part of my life

Well, we have been waiting for the Birth Certificate and last week Michael got it and fed-x it to me...but I haven't gotten my asset info together. Yes, I did go to the County and got a printout of the value of my house but I still needed to find my yearly mortgage statement showing how much is owed on the property to be able to fill out the AOS. That paperwork is kept in my JUNK drawer and I have been putting off going through it putting EVERYTHING ahead of the dreadful drawer. So today....I plan out my day... take kids to school, clean out the freezer, mop kitchen floor, (see putting everything else ahead) make dinner, GO THROUGH THE DRAWER, take shower, get ready for school and out the door by 3... also keeping up with the online chats.... so,

I go to the drawer...and in the first 4 peices of paper I pick up is Mortgage info!!!! Yall don't understand...I got this info back in January when I got all my tax info...there would be no reason for it to be in the TOP of this pile of paperwork other that GOD. God knows that if I didn't find it after looking for 10-15 min I would have lost my patience and something would have strayed my efforts (like being on the computer ) SO, I am logging off and gonna go fill out the paperwork....gotta then go get it copied so by tomorrow I may be able to send it in....(yall keep checking on me)

sorry for the long post but I had to share this miracle!!!

:rofl: :rofl:

Where do you get these pics?

I haven't been posting on here in a while, for my own reasons - But I have to comment here - because this just disgusts me -

Do you think that this thread started when you joined? People don't share? Look at the title of the thread - see it says Part TWENTY SIX???? That means since when the yardies first started their own thread - after taking over many other threads and being booted to the regional forums (yes, some members have been here that long) they have chatted up that many threads that have been shut down and locked and had to start a new thread - and if you could go back before the forum was upgraded, you would see that the threads would run to 1000 or more pages before they got locked - The members who have been here have been through the good and the bad, the thick and the thin - the denied visas, the approvals, the births, the losses, the divorces, the women coming on here with the same man, the cheaters, the good men - Trust me, there hasn't been much that hasn't happened in here.

The women that came on here and posted today have been through it all - either personally or seen it happen to people that they care about. People might have ways to put things that others think are harsh, but they tell the truth with no punches - trust me, I have born the brunt of some of those posts = but when you step back and read the meaning behind the words, and remove your hurt feeling - you can understand the truth in what they are saying and that they are trying to help. It's responses like this that make people walk away from this site and not share - Because people don't appreciate the value of the years of experience in it - the fact that some members grew up in JA and know what the transition feels like, or they have been married 2,3, 4, 5 years and dealt with it all - or are the immigrant themselves and offer a different perspective.

Everyone has their own personal reasons for sharing /not sharing on the board anymore - and if you bothered to read what has gone down in history, or what the older members say about why they don't share their experiences, you might understand it - The tone of this thread has completely changed, and it's become chat about how good your man laid it down last night, how you beat his azz, or then praying for forgiveness and asking God for his blessings - Something that seems a bit hypocritical, don't you think? And, as has happened before in a public forum, someone one day could very well end up in a similar situation where you've bragged so much about how your man has laid it down, the next woman goes and finds him and finds out for herself - Or people have been denied based on what they shared on here (immigration officers read this site too).

The purpose of this thread was to bring together a unique group of people who are all trying to have a successful relationship while navigating huge pitfalls that no one else can fully comprehend - because there are certain things that are very unique to this situation. If you want people to continue to share, you might want to try understanding where they come from, and that sometimes, they truly do know better.

well put sus

Nat, girl i just cant seem to get started typing up all this ####### that i need to be working on, so the twirling may or maynot be contributing to my laziness...LOL

Onlge in the morning before I had me a cup of OJ and some dancehall to get me going.

Better climate, better place to lose I mean raise me pickneys

Direct flights to JA

Bigger house less money

Maybe my family will miss my kids and I can send them up here for the summers and holidays

Tired of the same ole same ole I’m looking for something new

Did I say direct flights to JA?

Just say direct flights to JA!

thanks yall for the input, one thing about me is when i go after a job i research it to the fullest, so i have already gathered up all the info i need to go over regarding the michigan mental health code, client rights, etc and on the flipside the lady who had the job before and quit, is my friend so she said she would let me know what kind of things to expect that i should Know before the interview.. that will teach this heffa next to me, not to f*k with me....i dont do nothing half azz

Is it lunch time yet?

Really excited about my new printer....Prints photos in 17 secs for a 4x6.....Before took me 650 secs per print, so constantly had problems at an event when lots of people tried to buy photos as they were leaving....

Please keep unu fingers crossed for me that I get a event for Saturday that they were supposed to call me back about!!!

Finesse, Tanya is an AMAZING lyricist...she comes from angles you don't even think about....love her vocal range too

Wow I never really thought of how important fast printing is but anyhow best of luck

It is AMAZING!! It's the Sony Snaplab

As a scrap booker, you might consider one of the smaller models of dye-sub printers!!

Printing is cheap these days, normal about 30c per print....

That's all it costs? Then those photographers get off real good at events because they charge $10 per pic. Oh well it's all about making money...

Morning Yardies

DaDa, I agree with you, there is a lot of support on here, but there is also a lot of judgement as with anything posted on the internet... no one really knows what you are going through in detail from reading a post made in an on-line forum.

My honey has been my rock these past months. He is right there in this boat with me, and we're paddling our little hearts out

If we did not have the love and open communication we do, there would be no way we could have made it through the past year and a half...

So in my time of need, I turn to him instead of here. He is always a txt away, and he keep his phone with him at all times same as I do.

He still calls me every morning to wake me up, and he still says little romantic things that even my poetic mind could not think of He is truly my soul mate in every sense of the word and I am so blessed to have found him no matter how hard our journey has been.

One of the best things he did that really made me understand how much he cares was my birthday...

He has been asking me since last year how he can send me flowers, and I have looked into it, but without him having a major credit card I have come up empty handed...

But you know April 21st (My Birthday) I heard a knock on my door and there stood a man holding this:

I was so shocked

They were so beautiful and they smelled divine!

Apparently he called my friend and had her go through the FTD website to find the perfect roses, order them and he txt her what to say on the card and western unioned her the money to pay her back...

All that trouble just to put a smile on my face, and lawd knows it worked

We have been through a lot, and yes it has been hard, but every day we show each other how much this bond means to us. I never believed in love like this before I met that man. He has made me a believer!

And I say, what God has joined together let no man put asunder. Amen.

I have more to share, soon come... work a kill mi...

Awwwww, that's sweet!!!!

I jumped on to share my lil news and then I read this and it made me I'm VERY happy for you two and wish you lots of love and happinesss!

Oh my news is that I registered for 3 classes!!!! Woooooooooo hoooooooooooo I am SO happy to be returning to school. I will NEVER take it for granted

I thought you were gonna say you're preggo, just kidding no I didn't but that's great Tee!! Keep it up

My aunts and uncles pitching in to give me a few dollars for my move. It really means so much to me. If they only knew…..

I know what you mean when you say you appreciate because my mom helped out massively with the wedding and it was unexpected because we have a poor mother daughter relationship.

Aww Kj, I hope not! I hear there is a freeze in Philadelphia for hiring teachers

I hope there isn't a freeze by the time you're done with school

And to be honest I wouldn't mind teaching, it was my 1st and only job. But the problem is that I care way more about their well being than their education so I'll stick with wanting to be a sicial worker...

Are you serious 770 people?? Holy cow that is a lot of people and then they will have teachers assistants teach?? That makes no sense at all to me. I pray you dodge the bullet!

Thanks!

Yes mama, 770 ppl and that includes art, gym and music teachers, securities, secretaries and more...Sad. Not that I'd want to get fired but if God forbid I did, I'd get more financial aide for school and so I'd be able to take more classes.

[My4rmylife 0]

anytime him seh him wah front, tell him YES!!!

mek him know seh weh good fi di goose good fi di gander tuh!

Comment on his efforts, he cleaned up, mention it!

Expect him to be a man.

Let him do things for you! You don't have to carry the load yourself now, SHARE the load.

Say something nice to him everyday.

Kiss and hug him goodnight EVERY NIGHT. Nuh matta if yuh cussing.

Honor him, Speak to him with respect, even if you're angry. (Yes, mi slip pan dis NUFF times!)

Trust him with responsibility.

Ask (and value) his opinion.

Don't speak ill or his family or friends. (even if dem deserve it)

Give him breathing space.

Take time for yourself, even if you think you don't need it.

Let him make his own mistakes without nagging or 'I told you so'.

Keep your personal business personal unless he's fine with you talking about it to other people.

great advice

[ShaNette 4]

Okay this is funny too....
