We Watched History .....

.... as it was made last night!
Literally.

The Baylor Bears beat the OU Sooners.
For the first time.
Ever!!!

And I'm sure you could hear the screams coming from this living room for at least a couple of blocks.  Of course, you could probably hear screams coming from most of the living rooms in Waco .... not to mention the stadium, which isn't all that far from here.
It.  Was.  Amazing.
:)

Of course, earlier in the evening we had attended the local theatre's production of "The Seven Year Itch" to watch D#3 play the part of the wife.
She did a fabulous job.
I love watching my kids perform.  I wish they did more of it.
So we got to watch her and then were home before the start of the 4th quarter to cheer on the Bears.

Today I'm driving back home and then Daughter #1 will arrive this evening.
I can't wait to see her ..... it's been too long.



Happy Sunday, Peeps.

Good morning my darling daughter.
Did you hear D and I screaming last night? 'Cause we did. What a great way to end that game. It ALMOST made up for the OSU game. Almost.

I'm praying for you daily. . .all day. I love you so much and can hardly wait until we're ALL together. See you soon.

Janine,,,just keep telling yourself that if you would have married him; it would have been a life of hell not knowing when he was going to have these outbursts, and believe me; I've seen marriages like this, first hand, and they DO turn physical! This can happen occur with men that you think are the absolute best there is. I just had to change doctors, because he was exactly like Mr.M (maybe that stands for MISERABLE), and it was finally my turn to be at the other end of his nasty ass mouth,,right there in the office. His own wife has had him arrested several times for domestic violence,,but yet she still stays. Doesn't want to leave the material things; I guess. The lady that owns the practice told me that he is Bi-Polar, and won't take meds for it,,,a doctor; go figure!! I know that it doesn't feel that way now, but someday you will realize just how lucky that you are that he showed you who he really is early on in the relationship! Take care of yourself,honey, and I'm thinking of you.

Me Again. I just re-read my comment and my grammar sucks!
"D and I"?? I think not. How about D and me? So much better. I seem to have a little problem when it comes to my lapses. I may need to be committed. I love you.

P.S. Janine,,just wanted to also say that this doctor was a real charmer,,,,treating you like you were the absolute best,,,until all hell broke loose inside his brain! So people can be fooled!

Sweet Janine,
You know, that person you were in love with doesn't exist. He was a sham. What you are missing is what you thought he was. We all have seen your strength and know that you will overcome this. Unfortunately the pain is part of the healing, but also part of the lesson learned....and I am in no way saying you deserved this lesson. However, I look at all you've taught those who have also experienced widowhood and I can't help but think that this experience will be part of your mission in guiding others. Your blog and your willingness to be an open book has been a blessing to so many struggling to find their own way. Thank you for the gift of you.

You have my prayers, and all my love and support too. My heart breaks for you, and hope that time will once again heal.

Have you heard that saying "When people show you who they are believe them the first time"? Good for you for believing the first time. It will take time for you to recover but not as much as if things had gone further. You are strong, you are wise and you will be okay - I just know it:-)

I admire your honesty, strength and courage. Widowhood is tough enough without other complications. Have a great holiday with your children!

Looks like I've missed A LOT. Been busy lately. Very very busy. Anways... I was just wondering... have you noticed how, when a relationship you're in turns bad, it makes you miss your husband even more? That's how its been for me anyways. And then I get mad at him. After all... if he hadn't died and left me here alone... none of this nonsense would be happening. I would still have the life that I loved. Damn. My heart hurts for you. Speaking from experience, you will not only survive, but come through all of it having learned much and being better prepared the next time around. I love you. Hang in there. And remember there are a couple hundred of us here, facebook, widowed village, camp widow... all of us here and ready to listen when ever you need to rant, cry, CURSE... and none of us will tell on you. :)
Love Gina
