RYC: It is an office coordinator for a behavioral health provider, so it may be a bit stressful.  PC would have to quit because of the car , if his job was in the same city he could use dial a ride but it is not.  That 4 hours is more than just 60 bucks, it is keeping him out there, so I know that is important.  The family does not want me to apply for the job, but I am still torn.... it woudl be taking away the last bit of "contribution" PC feels, but it would be more money, it would also take 16 hours from me.... we are making it, we could just make it better.  I just wish I could find something maybe a few more hours a week, not two 8 hour days...

Happy New year 2009....It feels so nice to have you back...Do take care of yourself..LIFE of QUALITY v/s QUALITY of STRIFE..

I am sure you will have something for you waiting....let's see..Best wishes!!

Thanks, Teri.

You know how you think of someone who you haven't heard from and then you hear from them?  That's what happened when I saw your comment!!!  I thought you'd run off and gotton married!!  Glad you are ok, sorry to hear about your job and your heart attack...it was a tough year.  God bless you dear Terrylyn in the coming year.

With love...M

Hey Teri!

Welcome to 2009. And I don't say that lightly. I'm truly grateful you've made it to life's next progression. I'm also glad to see Nate safe and sound at home. He must be feeling relatively all right to be able to do the kind ofwork he does, but I would imagine he still deals with pain from his war injury.

When I left teaching 20 years ago I dealt with the response during job interviews that I was overqualified for entry level positions in new fields by doing temporary jobs through agencies. In time those jobs expanded my repertoire of skills and experiences and also gave me a lower paying track record which helped people put aside their concerns that I would be dissatisfied with entry level or near entry-level pay. The problem with your taking that course of action is that it might interfere with the security that unemployment compensation currently allows you. But at some future time this idea may come in handy.

Despite all the difficulties you've faced, you sound grateful for the good things that have happened, and with such an attitude you're apt to continue to do well. I certainly wish you the best for 2009. Thanks for letting me know you were touching base with MDD.

Hi Ter...wow you have been through alot! You're sounding very positive..good for you It makes life easier doesn't it Best wishes for the job hunting, I'm sure something will surface, maybe something different?

Glad you're back, and feeling good

See ya soon!

*hugs*

Lily

Hey Ter Happy 2009!!  It's great to see you haven't vanished!  How are you?? What happened in June? As Teamo says,'wtf'

Hope you come back again soon

Cheers!

Merry Christmas Ter...hope you and your family have a lovely Christmas

love...

Lily

Merry Christmas!  Thanks for the card.

With Love,

i remember those pics from february.  i remember ed in one or two of them.  was the first and only time i'd seen pics of him.

i think the house thing sounds good for him too.  and i also think it's always hard to let them go....but i do think it's especially hard for you because of the way he returned to you before when he'd left.  it's all okay now tho ter.  he'll be okay.

cracking up at that tiny box inside that big one.  you are right...what a waste!

Hi Ter I remember this time last year and we had no snow, and fairly decent temperatures. We have had snow and blizzards since November 22 Its minus 7deg F here really nasty cold! Its supposed to start snowing again tomorrow, apparently about 9-10 inches...blah..we already have snow. Enough already

I hear ya bout the 'letting go' thing, Tay is my only and I know I'd do the same thing for him. It would be pretty cool for Nate to have a house that he can call his own. You're a cool mom Ter

*hugs*

Love...

Lily

What a beautiful baby little Ava Louise is, I'm sure she'll bring a few smiles to your face my dear sweet friend. I miss you.

Have a very Happy Thanksgiving

I loves ya like rain on a window pane

Hugs

Hiya Ter Congrats on being a 'great aunt' although I know you are already gonna be a 'great' aunt..hehe...

Glad to hear all is well in Teriland All is good with me too...I'll be driving down to see Dave this week..on Thanksgiving Day...if the weather co-operates...if it snows, I'll be staying here Keeping my fingers crossed for a sunny day

Miss You 2

*hugs*

Lily

Great to hear from you Terri!  Sorry about the Kitties..it's so hard when they want to be outside all the time, and we know the day will come that they won't make it home.  sigh.

Tell Nate he needs a woman.   (grin)

Lori

i love when you pop in. 

i'm so sorry about the cats.  they become family and it's hard, i know.

Hi Ter So great to hear from you! I've been missin you, I was so happy to see an update flag beside your  name. Glad to know you got everything worked out, you were pretty loaded with work when it takes 6 people to do the workload. Wow Ter, no wonder we never hear from you, and you work full time too.

I'm sorry to hear about Moon and Kit  I know how hard it is when our pets who are part of the family are no longer with us. Nate needed to process his emotions, sorry you and Nate are going through some stuff. It will pass. Time heals

On a happy note, I'm happy that you're happy Ter Your relationship with Joe seems to be a comfortable decision, good for you for the boundaries 'YOU' set *hugs*

love you Ter

Lily

I am so glad to hear your news and you're ok. I did tell you you would be Dufus!!!

YEP...that would be a sore spot.  are you home relaxing today?

i "did" quit.  and when amanda had surgery in january, the doctor thought it was cancer, and the stress of the waiting...did me in.  no one knows but roy, and as a result, i can't smoke much.  on the way to work, on the way home, and my walks at nite.  so...i don't smoke much, but terri, for the life of me, i can't totally quit now!!!  it's awful.  and i want to.

yep...same addy.  and i will ask my neighbor too if she's interested in ordering when the catalog comes.

glad you are feeling good.  where is the puncture site anyway?

and on the smoking?  me too.  i just can't figure out how.  i've tried twice in the last year. no success.

soooooooooooo glad to hear that everything is as good as can be terri!!! 

dang cholesterol!!!

sounds like you have been doing all the right things as far as exercising and losing weight, so things can only get better right?

love you!

it's just after noon here in my end of the world...and i wanted you to know i'm thinking of you and sending your prayers and strength.

hoping to hear from you soon...

Thats the nearest chapter my friend, dream on that as they put you under.........zzzzzzzz!!!!!!!

Jeez I rattled that off so fast, look at the damn spelling its a wonder you made any sense of it at all!

East Lake near Perry mean anything to ya??

xxxx

My dear dear dear sweet angel of a friend, I feel so outnumbered by Christians...lol, that must make me a Lion!!! ( are you laughing) I'm not going to say anything on here about Joe, I just dont want to get into spurned wives and righteous Christians, but you know how I feel and some things are meant to happen, and only you can judge whether it's right or wrong...........I have never believed anything is forever and it doesnt mean have a good time and to hell with everyone else, you always have to make sure the pebble you throa in the water only gives off good ripples...........am I making any sense here?? LOL....However, right now NONE of that matters, what matters right now is YOU and TUESDAY.........I have asked everyone who is sad enough to read my most recent entry to say there heathen, wiccan,christian, jewish whatever prayers for you and I will say mine.......I have to say them to Harols dont i?...( our father whom art in heave....Harold be thy name......) I know I know I'm going to hell in a hand basket...........I just wanted you to know I will be sending out lots of love and good energy and cosmic thoughts........yes ok and parayers, I will only pray for you and no one else, you always could get me to do things others couldnt!!! I loves ya more than sunny days and hot buttered toast, pancakes and maple syrup and all those things that make ya fuzzy..................GOD BLESS SPEAK NEXT WEEK WHEN I GET BACKxxxxx I couldnt call ya over the weekend as I couldnt find a phone card for the US....Eastern Europe no problem, Somalia, a breeze....but the USof f***ing A....no way jose!!

Remember I loves ya

Take care, and DON"T MOVE THAT LEG.... afterwards, I have been through this with PC, and I know staying still is quite difficult.  I love ya ter and know you will be here to update soon ... please have someone update tuesday for us.

Thoughts with you , as always.....

I havent been reading your diary for very long. But I will be praying that your surgery goes all to plan.

Lovelovelove xx

Said a prayer for you!

oh gosh ter....

i love you.

how long are you expected to be in the hospital so that we all know about when we'll hear from you again with an update?

my prayers are in!!!!!

Well I guess that makes me someone of low moral fibre, and on that note I will disappear

xxx

We all know you, we all love you and even if YOU didn't know you'd make the right decision, I promise you, WE DID!  Good Girl!     Love you!

Lori

Dear Teri,

I really didn't need to say a thing to you.  We have read each other's journals for quite a while and I believe I know you and quite a bit about you.  What you were going through was not a bad thing.... but it certainly could have turned into something more.  I kept my mouth shut because I told myself...she will determine the best course of action for herself.  I also told myself you would not let it go further without him being free.  There are way too many guys online who have the 'I am in an unhappy, loveless, sexless marriage' syndrome.  I am to the point where I believe this is a line they are dangling in the water to see who bites.

So see... the young lady who posted to you....REALLY DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING YOU DIDN'T KNOW ON YOUR OWN....she only validated the questions you were asking yourself.

Take care of you and hugs,

Z

"Never keep someone a priority when they keep you an option"

Your little quote has made me feel a little bit stronger!! I am keeping a guy as my priority, which I dont think he does for me. Your little quote just made me realise that! So Thankyou.

I also totally agree with what you say about how you find the time to update when something is weighing on your mind. I also do that. Writing on here really does help bring things into perspective.

........................and for f***s sake, dont get hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!

xxxx

Now listen darlin friend friend of mine, you like the guy, he likes you, it's him thats married and not you, and if he was happily married he wouldnt be looking elsewhere right? The fact that he's married seems to be his problem and not yours..........you just have some fun if it's just a friendship all well and good, if it turns out to be more....all well and good.......you're a long time dead, dont waste a second.

I loves ya more than honey on hot toast......I miss ya dearly and I'm so happy you're having some fun with someone you've connected too................feels good dont it!

Consider yourself hugely hugged.

man....i'd love to taste those tomatoes!!!!

(that didn't sound right did it?)

you know i'm in no place to judge, (with the way my relationship with roy began), but please be careful ter.  if he has no plans to leave his wife....it will only be YOU who gets hurt.

otherwise...have fun!!  lol. 

hey...how come no more swearing?

There's a judge who needs a blow job. Where the Feck have I been, I've  been checking for notification of you adding an entry, then suddenly all this happens and I dint know anything about it.........and yes Terry and discreet do go together when necessary so tell your friend from me ok!!!!. I loves ya and I'm not drowne yet by the way.

I'll update soon but I'd far rather call you........but no free calls anymore due to change of office. I spose I could email, but not the same.

I loves ya more than bullsh*t judges and floods and miss ya honey pie

Isn't it a miracle how once you become a mother, you always find there is enough love to go around?  

Great entry, and GREAT JOB in raising 'your' boys!

Lori

Hi Ter Awwwwww adorable little guy he is! You are an amazing woman Teri, full of love and caring. Your entry left me smiling

*hugs*

Lily

Hey Teri,

Any clue what's going on with Xanga?

Terrilyn...oh you made me cry with this one.  What a beautiful, beautiful tribute to a wonderful Father from a very special daughter.  This entry really touched me...your Father & my Father have much in common...God does marvelous work.

With love,

M

Dearest Teri, how lucky you are to still have your Dad with you, I miss mine sooo much............I still wished him happy fathers day though <S>

I love ya more than happy memories

*kudos* to you Ter!! I think whats going on is disgusting and inexcusable. The government is a farce! The leader is an idiot! The judicial system is f***ed up and I'm terribly disgruntled with all the bullsh*t too! Argghhhh!!  I'm tired of feeling like a damn criminal entering into the United States and then again when I come back to Canada! WTF? Its all so very sad. I just dont know what will become of this world we live in

K, I'm done...

*hugs*

Lily 

Semper Fi Teri....

i can always see your pics...but this time, i couldn't see a single one....

Morning Teri...

Nice helmet.... the only trouble is that it is a full face.  So....when summer hits hard, you will find it left at home since you can't breathe in the fool thing!

Nice looking yard..... AND FAT PILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hugs,

[DrZ]

Yeah I wish my job would up grade....

Good to hear from you!

Love,

I am sitting behind my desk at work with tears streaming down my face from laughing sooooo hard...............lol.......how in gods name do you manage it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I suppose if the worst had come to the worst you could've have offered yourself to Madame Taussauds as a waxwork of an idiot from Ohio...............LMAO, I loves ya more than hot wax.

Dingy

If I were a gentleman, I'd skip the comment and let you think I never read this entry, but I'm so appreciative of the deep, rocking laughter your writing evoked, I just had to tell you how much I enjoyed this. Tears are still running down my face. You've confirmed that great art is born of suffering. Thank God you weren't using Superglue!

Whats wrong with writing a letter to the Universe....I did,,,,,see what happened LOL

I loves ya more than rides on a Harley.........

Dingy

xxxx

Write a letter to the Universe, be specific....very specific,,,seal it and leave it by your bed..........it worked for me LOL............

I loves ya more than anything I can think of.......

Dingy

xxxx

can't wait to see garden pics (and pics of nate on the harley?).

you had me crackin up with having to be more specific about your prayers....lol.

Not only that but when you order a pair they are either two right or two left......doesnt anyone apart from us get BOTH nipples pierced?????

I loves ya more than wet May mornings

xxxx

you going to model it for us??

Why were you looking at them anyway????

Hmmmmm?

wow.....you are still alive girl!!!!!  i'm so glad to see you back here, and i hope you stick around this time.

there is probably way too much to catch up on in my journal...so lets see if i can short story it for you...

amanda went thru two surgeries since january (one of which she hemoraged in her throat afterward...it was awful)...and has been diagnosed with a rare disease called castlemans disease.  it's auto-immune.  she's been healthy lately, but they are trying to find us a specialist, because she will need maintenance care to stay healthy.

my son is in love for the first time, and has become a huge "mush-bucket". 

bry and ja are doing wonderful....bry scored the highest benchmark in her grade for language arts recently, and ja is getting ready for her first recital (tap and ballet) in june.

roy and i are wonderful.  on the 17 of this month, we are four years strong....and in june we are going away together to celebrate.  oh...and also...we will be getting married.

if you've picked yourself back up off the chair...i'll go on...lol...

amanda is a working girl now...and i've put pics of her in todays entry if you want to peak.  (by the way, the marriage plan entries are recent as well, if you want to get the low down.  a combination of things brought me to this decision that i'm now sooooo excited over).

i guess that's long story short...the surgery stuff was a kind of stress i don't ever want to go thru again...but it's over and we are all good now.

i've missed you.

you've missed a lot in TerriBerri's life, and she has BIG news the last few days.  I'll drop her a note that you're missin
