Trying to get through this week has been quite the task. No I am not really back but am working up to it. There are three websites I mostly hang out at.
VR is for my "LOLZ". With so much drama and bullshit on here, I have trouble participating if I am in a very dark mood. To easy to get caught up in other people's bullshit and as I said, I still get no LOLZ.
I go to Hulu for my entertainment. For everything else I go to facebook. No fuss, no muss, no status system; I can ignore everyone else while I pay attention to the things which require my attention. To many VR people don't get it that sometimes my life must take precedence over VR or even over them.
I facebook I can sit and lurk while rearranging trees on my fucking farmville all day. I can see what is going on with people and participate without their knowledge so I can remain undisturbed. It's all I really want sometimes.
I have been off VR for a few days and I know some people have an idea as to why, others have heard things and still others don't know or could care less. I am writing this more for myself than anyone else anyway.
My daughter is 13 years old; beautiful, smart, focused...really so above average. Her 13th birthday gift from me was a profile on the social networking site of her choice, she chose facebook. All of her friends and classmates are there and we live so far out it is really the only way she can hang with them every day after school for a few hours. One of the people she found was her older brother's best friend. They were friends already and she had been crushing on him for two years. That is where the disaster starts.
Fast forward, this boy has no regard for me or my rules. Every opportunity he gets he defies me and lies to me. He threatens my daughters male friends on facebook, her statement of defense for him is that he has been cheated on and lied to so many times that he is jealous. She actually thinks it is funny. His mother decides to move to Georgia. The area is apparently about 50 miles from his current residence but about 30 miles or less from ours so his mother tries telling him that she will bring him out to see my daughter but he decides that once they move they will be separated forever and decides drastic measures are an order.
He tries to get permission to come over here one last time before the move but things escalate when I discover by checking my daughters message that he is still threatening her friends; specifics...he threatened to pound a screwdriver through the forehead of a 6th grade boy who called her cute. I tell my daughter he is no longer welcome in my home, so he sneaks over anyway.
I caught him in my daughter's room at about 2am on Friday night. Having no transportation and no way to contact his mother I tell him to sleep on the couch and we will get a ride to his house in the morning and talk to his mother. My daughter went to sleep in her room and he slept on the couch. I stayed up as late as I could but ended up falling asleep around 4:30am.
When I woke up Saturday morning around 8am they were gone. Her brother had no idea the boy had even been here. He immediately went out looking for them while I started falling apart. I called my Granny and she told me to call the police, she also sent over my adopted little brother so I would have transportation. I called the police, then I called Myth at work. To say he was devastated and angry would be putting it mildly, I ended up telling him to stay at work for his own safety.
After talking to the police and scouring the nearby roads and parks myself I spent the entire day on her facebook account networking with her friends. I have no idea how many messages and tags there were but I would have to guess nearly 100 that I knew of. Her friends and his family were out looking for her(them). I was manning the computer and fielding possible tips on the phone. They were found on the freeway by his mother around midnight. When they were found my daughter walked up to the car and said "can you please take me home".
Since she got home life has been a roller coaster. I have to watch her every minute. I had to change her email account because he kept texting her from his phone and would not leave her alone. I caught her with a letter from him saying they should try to run away again and she was writing him back to say that she would if he would stop crying. More talking, more tears and more restrictions. His mother has broken his phone now and they are still moving to Georgia tomorrow. She swears to keep a close watch on him and keep in touch if anything happens.
My daughter has been told that if he turns up at the school to run to friends or go inside the building, he is not allowed to be there anyway during school hours since he is 9th grade and his mother has already pulled him anyway.
Now you all know the story and why I have not been around lately.

Gosh
*hugs*
Hugs..You know you guys are in my thoughts.
~hugs~
we are all here for you.
Thanks everyone, that means a lot to me. To all of us actually.
OMG, I am sorry this has happened to you. I have an 11 year old so I can only imagine what you are going through. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Good luck hon!
Now you know Faery. I have had to much on my plate this week. AND my house has still not been completely clean the way I prefer it since last May.
While I slept I dreamt; I had moved to a place with vast rolling hills, covered in grasses of various shades from gold to green.
As I walked along I daydreamed what I would like for my life in this place. I noticed a honey bee. I like honey and have always wanted a hive and I wished for a second that I could find a queen bee. And then I came across one; or believed in the dream I did anyway. She was large and black, really quite fat. I placed her into a box and she immediately began to spawn.
Bees began swarming in and out and I was delighted to watch.
I saw something small and black just outside the box and investigated, it was a baby rat. So small and weak, I was afraid to touch it because I did not know if it was alive or dead. I did not want to kill it accidentally but I knew it would die if left alone.
I looked in the box and the queen bee had indeed turned into my pet rat and she was giving birth to babies of all colors.
I placed a bowl of water into the box and then I peeked through the side of the box to see what was happening. A toad had entered the box, with the rats and he climbed into the water bowl. The baby rats flocked to him and as they touched the water they turned into tadpoles....
Me and my dogs have an understanding of sorts. They know I will get around it eventually, whatever it might be and so they do not become anxious. They do not bark at me. If I oversleep they are more likely to wake me gently snuggling as opposed to mauling me first thing.
Ah the powers of Momminess.

Kind of dog I like. Mom's dog- bark, bounce on the bed at dawn. Hate when I take my turn sitting with Mom only for that reason.
Well now, I have been known to yell. lol
Hence the Momminess...beware of making mommy angry young woof woof; she will hurt your ears.
Today was a lazy day...Myth went back to work today so I was home alone(AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA).
I smoked my last cigarette Monday night and that isn't really bugging me, Maybe I want to snack a little or I wander back and forth through the house trying to figure out what to do with myself but I haven't noticed any temper tantrums or anything out of the ordinary.
I may make some coffee and watch a few more programs tonight. Today it was an episode of Parenthood, 2 episodes of Lie to Me and 2 of House. I am up to Fringe, Bones and Castle on my queue and then I can start watching the Korean soap opera again.
ok, I wrote something so now I can be happy.

ive seen rachy when she doesnt have ciggy's...not a pretty site lol
I know it but unlike me she is not off them by choice when she runs out. This time it is a planned, prolonged abstinence from smoking that both Myth and I are seeking.
I just felt the need to give vent to my feelings.
maybe you can talk some sense into her then and get her to quit? :)
Doubtful, no one ever quits anything until they are ready and what makes you think she listens to me.
i thought she was one of your loyal minions? lol
Not even...I have no minions.

mmhmm, me as well lol
Tequila makes me a happy happy girl for sure but there are some things I will not do while I am drunk on Tequila.

There are?
Oh yeah I know...there are. I have just always been a bit of a lonewolf.
