Please pray for Hubby's family. We found out tonight that his sister, #1, has left the Beater again. For a different reason this time....this time he asked her to borrow money from her mom (MIL), which she did. When she got home with it, he told her to go buy drugs with it. So, she left him. She claims it is for good....but only time will tell, as we know from the past. All we can do is pray for her. I just worry so much...for her...for the baby....it is just not a good situation...not at all. She did go check into medicaid and wic and programs like that since she doesn't have any insurance. I guess that his mom said some pretty nasty things to both her and MIL today. At one point she accused SIL of wanting to be the center of attention so badly that she would be the kind of mother to hurt her own child. That is a loaded accusation. Now, I am not saying that SIL is innocent, I am not that naive. If anything, this only confirms for us that she was probably doing drugs before she got pregnant. We had speculated that for a while...because they would have no money even though she was working a good job.....and then they would be rolling in money....then broke....and on and on and on. SO, like I said....the saga continues....please pray for her and the baby. Hubby and I were both pretty upset tonight when we found out.....she and MIL actually stopped by right after FIL called and told us what happened. She stayed at FIL's house last night....cuz Beater doesn't know where he lives. I think she is going to get police custody to take her to their house to get her stuff. Hubby and FIL offered to go with her....but I don't think that is the best idea. Just please pray....and also, please keep this between us Journal Buddies (for those of you who go to church with us). I know that MIL is upset....embarrassed....the list just goes on and on. But I know that prayer is the most powerful tool we have....and you all are my prayer warriors. And please don't mention it to Hubby unless he mentions it to you. He is pretty upset.....understandably so. Just pray....please!!!!
SO! Before all of that....I was having a good day! Went to the gym this morning....and then to work. I don't have the picture of Stinky Pete in the hat yet....but I will get one soon. He loved it....and he did wear it. I guess it was very funny. It was a good day at work besides a few "grrrrrr" moments.
After work, went and got the kiddos. They had fun with Mimi and Papaw today...went to the Park and flew a kite....just had a fun day. FAB is such a pill....she actually bit my mom today....and hard enough to leave a bruise mark on her. The biting thing is getting worse before it is getting better. She bit I-Man pretty hard last night and I bit her back....but she just laughed. And I bit her kinda hard! I don't know what we are going to do with her.
MIL was only here for about 15 - 20 minutes tonight....but man! She (and the kids) made a mess of my house in that short time! I think they got every toy out of the toy box in the sitting room! So, after they left, we played hide-n-seek. That was fun. I-Man loves to hide...and he loves to try and find us. Hubby is the best at hiding....I-Man always has a hard time finding him. I always have FAB, so half the battle is just keeping her quiet. But we sure have fun playing that. I-Man could play all night long....but Mommy and Daddy get tired! Especially Mommy cuz I have to carry FAB everywhere we go. She is such a Mommy's Girl!
Well, that is really about it! FAB and I cuddled before she went to bed....now I-Man is waiting to cuddle with me and watch Barney (yuck!)....we both will fall asleep shortly, I am sure!!!!
Have a great Tuesday! Have fun at Pre-School. I was actually going to bring the kids tomorrow...but I have a meeting that I forgot about! Maybe next week! Love ya'll and thanks for praying for our family.....we need it!

I'm so sorry about SIL#1. I had no clue that was going on and I can understand that SIL#1 AND your MIL are embarrassed. For some people it's so hard to see why people go back to people like Beater, but it's just so hard to leave! I'm glad that she is leaving, hate that she is going back, but each time she leaves, it makes her a little bit stronger.
I can't believe his mom said that stuff to her. AARRGGHH! You're right, it's probably best that FIL and your hubby don't go with SIL#1, but it might be good too....especially with police escorts.
Glad you had a good day besides all that! FAB is biting? I can't picture such a cute face biting someone! LOL!
Have a great Tuesday. We'll miss you tomorrow!
Lots of Love!
I heard from Froggy yesterday that SIL left him again. I hope this time is for good, but I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't. You're right, though, all we can do is pray.
I can't believe your little angel would bite anyone, much less laugh about it! :) I was going to suggest biting her back, but obviously that's not working for you...hmm? If you knew she was going to bite you, you could put vinegar or something on you. Maybe you should "lure" her a couple of times like that and she might decide she doesn't like it....just a suggestion. Can't wait to see Stinky Pete in the hat!
Love ya!
OH, I forgot to tell you how much I appreciated your compliment on Sunday. It really made my day! Love you!
Praying for your SIL...I can't imagine what you all are going through with that...
Thank you, again, for being such a great inspiration to me w/ going to the gym :) It's already helping me, energy-wise :) if not in the weight loss department, yet :)
Okay, TTFN :)
If the timing is ever right, you can tell SIL1 to call me...BTDT. I had a "beater" of my own. Kelley is right, each time she leaves she is that much stronger.
Also, tell her about the women's center. We can help w/ lots of stuff. We have a list of OB GYNs that take payments on a sliding scale if the medicaid thing doesn't work out. She needs to be seen pdq! also we have lots of programs to help her w/ material items and a myriad of support groups (and a sexual integrity program that is awesome!) So, if it's comfortable to bring it up in conversation, do.
In the meantime, I'm praying!
Hey, the biting thing is tough. Just be consistent and make sure everyone else that watches her is following your lead. She'll eventually find another way to vent. :)
Have a great evening! Much love!
