Let's see if I can bring you up to speed on my life in the last six months in six words or less.....
I's might be a tad bit bitter.
Nope that's seven and one is a contraction (and not even a legal one). Sue me.
Seriously, here is the update.
I'm still living in the same house with the WasBand. not. funny.
I am still working (at the moment). not. funny.
My children are all in therapy. not. kidding.
I've recently been mistaken for a lesbian. sort of funny.
Life is certainly interesting these days. And by interesting I mean searingly painful.
But that is not even why I wrote today. The reason I wrote today is because it is Brother Gunny's birthday. And while the rest of my life seems like a pit of despair he continues to be one of the few bright spots.
I love you Gunny. Happy Birthday.
sorry you're hurting, dear. hope things look up soon!

Jenny!!!!! I was so glad to see a post! So, swimming the Bitter Sea eh? Boy have I been there....them's choppy waters! Hang in there....it does seem to get better little tiny bit by little tiny bit....over the long course of time. Can you get the Wasband out of the house? Cuz....EWWWWW! Although I know all too well how depressing it is to drop your kids off at the therapists...it is really good for them in the long run.
Happy Birthday to your Brother....we all need those bright spots.
On a happier note....I thought of you while I was in Venice last month. I had an amazing time. I even got engaged. Hopefully the stress of combining two broken lives into one whole one won't kill the whole deal. Bit by tiny bit.....we keep moving forward.
Much love to you and the girls!

Hi! Great to see you! I had almost given up on your blog! Almost...
Sounds like life really sucks at the moment, but things will get better, I promise!

I think it is very touching that you would return to posting to celebrate Gunny's birthday.
You are a good mother and a sweet sister and daughter, and I love you, Babe.
