wow...
was it really April 29th the last time I posted something on here?
damnnnnnnn!
I've had 2 boys celebrate birthdays in that time...
Bud turned 21 and Evan-Michael turned 18. Two BIG birthdays in da house!!!
And the 18 year old has just a few days left of school....got accepted to 2 different universities...one to play football. But he's not sure if he really wants to play football for 4 more years. he received his "diet" and workout schedule in the mail the other day. He MUST drink at least one gallon of SKIM milk a week, 10 pounds of potatoes a week, 3 pounds of apples, bananas and other fruit a week. 3 pounds each of the different fruit. and at least a 5 egg white omelet every morning with lots of veggies in it. really, the diet sounds pretty good...wayyyy more food than a regular person would need, but still sounds pretty good. Lots of veggies and fruit and whole grains. oh, and at least 3 pounds of whole grain pasta a week. AND a workout schedule that is INSANE. When is he supposed to eat all that food if he's working out 24/7??!!! I'll have to copy it and post it..seriously.
I've set up a "fan page" for my photography on Facebook,and have been getting lots of appointments from it. who woulda thunk it?! But lots of people want me to do weddings. I don't "do" weddings. not my thing. I WILL do a wedding in December but that's for a very good friend of mine. I have been doing engagement photos tho and those are fun. Family photos...that kind of stuff. I guess ya gotta do this stuff till you get the chance to do what you really wanna do, right? ;)
Things on the home front are.......ok. Hubs refuses to go back to counseling. REFUSES. just plain. old. refuses. Soooooooooo...I guess it';s up to me what comes next. For right now, we're talking. But we all know that never lasts long! ;) Why do things always end up back where they started? I don't get it.....if you know your partner is unhappy and is begging for things to change...and will do anything to help make those changes...wouldn't you want to go along with the program? I know if things were reversed, I would do anything he asked me to do...IF I really wanted to stay married. I think he does, but..........do I? as of right now.....i can't honestly say. Not an answer, I know. But I have to see what's best for everyone involved. I will keep you posted.
and will Miley Cyrus just put some clothes on already? Gawdddddddd. isn't she 17? god, I am So glad that I never got my beautiful daughter into modeling and stuff like people PUSHED me to do when she was younger. I couldn't stand it if she turned out like that! and does it sound like Im jealous that Miley is THAT sexy at 17? cuz I am. Damn! I'm 29 and not anywhere NEAR that sexy! shooooot! But I guess I'd be sexy too if I had a "team" of people working on me all day long.
And how classy is Sandra Bullock? and how freaking ADORABLE is her baby???? god, I love her even more than I already did!!!
I have got to get busy on Evan-Michael's open house/graduation party. Lots of photos to print out.
OMG...have you seen the AT&T commercials where the guy is a newscaster and has "breaking news"...."Mr. Wiggles the cat is stuck in a tree....this has been confirmed by a facebook posting" HILARIOUS!!!!!!!
Now I gotta go eat lunch of garbanzo beans, onions, garlic and lots of spinach. yes Rocky, I eat it almost every day!!!! XOXOXO

Good grief, that diet!!! I think he would have to really want to play to go through all that. Is the other sport any better?
froggy: I don't think he has the heart to play football in college...its a FULL TIME job in college. I think he's a little burned out right now.
Yeah, we know burnout, after building a new wing on the physical therapy building GB retired with half a dozen free tshirts and sweatshirts.
That picture of Sandra and her baby on the front of People? The most beautiful picture I have EVER seen of a mother and child.
And may I just say;
"I refuse to accept responsibility for your inability to communicate".
I LOVE THAT!!!!!!
ok, Yes that diet is crazy!! Do they pay his grocery bill too I hope??!!
Yes, Love love LOVE Sandra Bullcok even more now....
Uhmm...you and I really need to talk, seriously, our mutual friend has shared a few things about your situation with me and the part of your post about your marriage mirrors how I felt towards the end of mine 10 years ago after 18 years married...when I finally said enough and filed divorce he begged me back and promised to go to counseling and make the changes, but it was too late for me, there was no love left on my part, no more willingness to try anymore. After years feeling alone in a marriage and feeling like a single parent while married I left...I am not the one to tell you wait don't do it, you can work it out. I am not going to tell you what to do, but if you need to know what the other side is like, I am the one to tell you how awesome single life at our age is....of course it is 10 years later and I have the x husband that I say I can still never get rid of...but stories, girl and fun and trouble...now the down side, I work 2 jobs to stay afloat, but I will never be dependent on a man again financially and my kids know who has been there for them thru it all, and working 2 jobs keeps me out of some of the trouble too, at least most of the time :)
Bean: LMAO!!!!!!!!
Snugs: email me girl
Ohhhh I and dieing when it comes to thinking about my kid being 18 in 4 short yeas is about killing me. I think that I should have had more kids! Now that the nest is getting smaller make time for the things that you want to do! Pictures great! and Money sweet!
and that is about how much junk my kid eats a week!
Well, you know me and my hubs have had ISSUES but it is getting better. Thank god. Hugs girly!
I am so glad you love that meal. I love it so very much too! Mmmmm. I wonder how you've changed it over time. Glad to hear your voice again.
Where is the link to your BookFace Fan Page???
Promote, promote, promote!!!!! You have to be your own cheerleader.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Oh gawd do I know about trying to get someone to change. I'm not even going to start it'll get this ho to crying.
I want to go on that diet!
Sandra is my heart but just recently Betty White has pushed Sandra to second.
dont feel bad I have a really hard time coming up with things to post on my blog, why cant facebook, twitter, and blog just become one big happy family? combine them into one.
Beth, I'm so glad I'm linked to your pictures, they are really so good. I think you have a full time career ahead of you. It's just now really starting to take off. You have the talent, that is for sure.
Sorry to hear about the counseling. I think you should still go. You can still do a lot of work, even if it is by yourself. It shows you are still trying, and he can't say you didn't do everything you could possible do. It is so hard, I know, believe me.
I hope your son decides on the college that makes him happy. That football one sounds intense. When would he have time for his studies and his social life. That is a very important part of college, don't let anyone tell you different!
So glad you are taking care of yourself and going on those trips. You seem to be having so much fun. I love it!!!!
XXXXXXXXX
Spill your guts...
The SFC's younger son goes to school on a scholarship... his passion for his sport has waned and I am sure you know the deal with the ONE YEAR SCHOLARSHIPS that they give atheletes... if the coach doesn't like them or wants to run a player off, he usually can (see KENTUCKY '09 w/John Calipari).
Hope he loves the sport enough to keep playing to go to school.
Truth be told... there were some things that I didn't want to do and even if I wanted to do them, I didn't want to do them in Virginia or New Jersey. And I am sure she had her own 'things' as well.
WE didn't work thru them or want to make it enough. And it has to be a WE thing. If one doesn't, then it means both of you shouldn't.
If things seemed better in therapy and he stopped, then I wonder if that isn't the only thing he has 'stopped' at, you feel me? If some part of him has started to check out of the relationship or something.
Being that I have only know relationship fail, with my starter marriage, college sweetie, and with Tee Jay, Mookie Dee and now the SFC rounding out my decade, I can't advise on how to make it work. But I don't think it is out of rounds for me to say your choice is to either follow your heart and have faith or to follow the evidence and act according to what you can see and touch.
Take care of yourself... and I hope for you all that you hope for yourself.
Sorry to hear about the counseling and wish you the best. College football is so different and not that much fun any more for most of them. Hope that works out for him.
Have you read my blog and FB stuff lately about the flood and jury duty? What a week! I'm still a nervous wreck.
Nice!
I was just thinking of blogging the same thing, I feel like I haven't written a post in forever! glad you are back!!
ugh Miley where to start...but I always end up loving her songs, so I have a bit of a love/hate realtionship with her, and I wish I had people to make me beautiful too
Sounds like a lot is going on... Good Luck with everything!
