She's the reason I believe in psychics. Back in 1994, I spent 45 minutes with Louise. I still ahve the cassette tape of it. Anyhow, 3 years before I ever laid eyes on my husband, she told me I'd marry a curly-haired man from Washington. I forgot that and didn't even remember it until about 2 or 3 years ago - listened to the tape - YEP, it's there. Oh, and yeah, Eric's hair is curly and he's from Washington though he grewq up mostly in California...

It would make all of the suffering seem somewhat bearable. But, I am not sure I could live w/the knowledge that he will not be okay. It's hard enough to survive everyday as it is. Sometimes living w/the idea that everything has a purpose doesn't help much. Especially if you wonder if that purpose is simply a punishment for some past wrong. Everyday w/my son is so hard. There really aren't any big dreams for him left. We have hopes. We pray that he will one day choose to live his life instead of ruining it. We pray that he won't end up on the streets, or jail or worse. It's the glimmer of hope that keeps us going. Did I mention I am having a really, really bad day? ;-)

Of course, I had an emotional breakdown at the hospital and now have I a migraine (but am not vomiting...yet). Anyone happen to know how much an ambulance ride costs? They'll be sending the bill and I didn't have the guts to ask. If I didn't have another child to consider, I would just take down all of my Xmas decor and go into hibernation. Sorry if this sounds dramatic...it's just been that kind of craptastical day. I am seriously considering eating myself into a chocolate coma :-(
Originally Posted By MissCandice That is totally my new word for the day "craptastical". Man, Mele...you poor woman! Have all the chocolate you want! I donate my share (and weirdly enough was just about to eat some) to you. All I have are those minature Heath Bars, left over from Halloween but please take them! <----Sings another soothing carol for Mele.

Thanks Candice! I will so totally take the Heath bars! Maybe I'll post my chocolate caramel Heath cake recipe sometime.

Originally Posted By FaMulan mmmm, Thanks mele, I don't turn down chocolate. ((((((((All)))))))))) Where's Brendan Fraser when you need him? Or perhaps a stimulating conversation with William Peterson. I simply adore his character on CSI because he's complex and very intelligent.
