I am Lovable and Capable Part lll: How to Stop Your Sign From Ripping

By Julie May 15, 2008 3:21pm 2 Comments

JulieC

I wasn't planning on a part three to this series but so many of your comments and messages about part one and two gave me pause to think I may have left you all hanging. Many of you wanted to know how to protect your IALAC sign. Protecting your IALAC sign requires self awareness. I think many of us rip apart our own IALAC signs without ...

It is OK to argue and even to be angry at your partner. In fact, this dynamic is an essential part of any equal and satisfying relationship. When we express a difference of opinion or we adamantly disagree with our mate we are creating an opportunity for negotiation, compromise and resolution. When we emerge on the other side of an argument in ...

You probably already know if you drink a lot of coffee or caffeinated soda (don’t even get me started on the soda subject), when you get pregnant, all that caffeine is no good for your tadpole. But I have some info that might make you want to cut back sooner if you are having trouble getting pregnant. There is no definitive on the amount you ...

Saturday, May 17, 2008 | A General Update story

Got an early appointment in a few days, hopefully last one for a while. Anyways, still nothing new. At this point I'm just waiting for my mate to do enough physical harm to herself to the point the she ends up in the ER and hopefully snaps out of it at that point. Not a fun time for any member of a couple to ever go thru.
Even though I did talk to her, she atm hates me. ...

Friday, May 16, 2008 | A Happy story

Asked ex if I could take my son bike riding since his older sister was with friends overnite.. She let him go and we went bike riding. Afterward, I took him and bought him and I a cup of Ice cream. It was better than sitting in an empty home. Took him back home and thanked my ex for the extra time with him.

Holding in the tears. Ready to fall apart. Haven't felt this way in a long time. Gloomy wet day? Work? Life? Or lack of it? Why do you leave me here, SB? Hoping to leave work early to crash & burn in private.

The system I am currently trying out is called B-ALERT... following this system, you should hit all the marks every day, and it helps ensure balance and steady progress towards your goals. Here's what the letters stand for:

Friday, May 16, 2008

original goal was to have this accomplished by today, I could say I've achieved it, but that last couple pounds hanging on due to my excessive emotional eating theory, which thankfully, has been under control for about a week and counting.
Sure, I got my little rewards, but all's good. I feel good!

Thursday - with an intermission

Thursday, May 15, 2008 | A General Update story

Well the fight for custody has begun. I filed the paperwork this morning, saw a judge this afternoon, and got a court order keeping the lil one in the home and allowing visitation for the mother as long as I'm in at least the next room over. So no more worries about a mother that passes out at random trying to care for this child at least.
The down side is still no word from the mo...

Thursday, May 15, 2008 | A Frustrating story

This, I feel, is more of a rant than anything else. Why is it, that, as we get beyond what our grievances with one another can be, then there's nothing more than to try to have a cohesive co-parenting relationship with the one you share custody with, they cannot communicate with you? On a regular basis, I have to hunt down the entire night before my scheduled time, not to get a response and m...

I swear, if he were a woman, I'd ask him to marry me.
Don't Quit
When things go wrong as they sometimes will;
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill;
When the funds are low, and the debts are high;
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh;
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of do...

Your cunning narrator pulled a stunt today. I altered the askfornumber() function that I'd written as a lark a few days ago in my journal. I revamped it in C ('cos C is a more pure programming languag...duh!), altered a bit of the text and designed it to ask Miss O out for coffee. It was like this:

Thursday, May 15, 2008

Life is moving along. My kids are still struggling with the divorce, especially my youngest who really wants us back together. But we're having a lot of fun when we are together reading stories, watching movies together, going to the park and the zoo, etc. I feel closer to my kids although I wish it wasn't because of a divorce.
My ex seems to be steadily dating someone.&n...

Thursday, May 15, 2008 | A General Update story

Easy night of call with only a 2 hr appendectomy at 6p. Off today. What a perfectly beautiful day in NW PA. Laundry's almost finished, dishes done & dog is missing out in the back field. Have been calling her for an hour but I think something stronger calls as well.
Heading to the watering hole to get silly on beer & discuss endless topics. It is my refuge, they are my fa...

Single Dads Information

This community is dedicated to fathers who are going through the parenting process alone or without the support of a spouse. Single parenthood may occur as the result of many things. Often it is opted for by the parent (as in divorce, adoption, artificial insemination, surrogate motherhood, or extramarital pregnancy), and often it is an unforeseeable occurrence (as in the death of one parent or abandonment by one parent).
