Hey, I'm here... I've been a bit busy with school and friends. I'm finally making friends and loving it. I'm all twitterpated right now cuz the guy I like e-mailed me saying we should go for coffee some time!!!! I'm so excited!!!
I've got some stuff I know I need to work through, but right now I don't have the moolah to pay for a T. Also, before I start anything, I should talk to my mom about that... how do I bring that up???? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Thanks for asking Muffled!!! How are you doing?

Hey Muffled,
I'm here. Reading your posts with interest. I'm having some problems communicating with some of my kids these days too.
I wish I knew what to say. The forest sounds great. What's a forest look like exactly?
Is it a lot of pine trees? Is it quiet and dark? Some of the sunlight must come through, right? Dappled sunlight? Geez, it sounds nice.
Can I ship one of my kids up to you? Maybe they could go in the forest together :-)

My mom and I get along fairly well now. Until about last year we didn't. It wasn't like fighting and stuff, just more... I don't know. Her not having time for me. It was a huge change for me when she went back to work outside the home.
When I told her I was depressed she told me I had to decide whether or not I wanted to do this to the family or not.
Mental illness has always been a source of weakenss with her.
So, I don't want to ruin the holiday by making her upset with me. I know she'll support me any way possible, it's also I'm not sure I'm ready to deal the issues with my dad and what not
Are you getting excited for Christmas? It's almost here!!!!!! How's everything with your kids? I'm glad you're doing okay

**The forest is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!Its different all the time.
I'm on the west coast so its considered a coastal rainforest climate. But the vegetation varies widely even in short distances. There are areas with alot of deciduous trees, but more coniferous forests. We have oak groves and arbutus groves.In the winter it gets dark early so I walk in twilite and its different again. If you want to hear more forest stuff I'll let my kid do a post over on the writing board. She notices all the little things.

Glad to hear from you Cricket (my kid majorly loves your name)!
Take care,

Yeah, I just keep on asking inside and they say "Leave me alone" or "I don't want to talk" or "F*ck you." I'm used to ruckus and turmoil from them but this shut down is strange. It has me worried and lonely and I guess maybe I have had such good communication with them for so many years that it is hard to know what I think without them.> **The forest is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!Its different all the time.

Definitely sounds amazing. Please do post on writing. I am trying to get brave enough to post something of mine on there.
> ***Sure, they might fight though, my kid is awful scrappy. Whats the kid like that you'd send?She is feisty enough so I think that she will hold her own (she's 9). She is a major tomboy and loves to run and play rough and get dirty. She does have a bit of a mouth on her but underneath all the bluster there is a gentleness that I often see her use with the younger kids and with animals. She loves animals. I think she might get along okay with yours. For you, however, two rambunctious kids might be a bit much :-)

Thanks. Tell her that it came from my grandfather who once told me that he always used to wake up in the morning because I'd be babbling away in my crib. He'd say "Time to get up. The cricket's chirping.">

**OMG, that sounds like when I first started to figger there was other stuff in my head, all of a sudden my head was quiet for quite awhile, like stone dead silence, and i was so used to perpetual noise and confusion. It wasn't so nice. I felt bad about losing 'the kid' when I'd just found her. But she was there, she just shut up awhile. But my head is still quiet mostly and i'm used to it now. I think there was alot of fighting going on and I just didn't realize it. Now there's not so much fighting. I don't know why. My kid (I only have one I can talk to that I'm aware of clearly), she just gets SO mad at me, so fast and sudden. I think sh'es fairly young, but smart, and kindof mean too. I had a hard time getting her to talk at all, but now she does more. She's wacked.
I think your guys are still there. You just been doing alot of work and stuff and they just being quiet. Watching and waiting perhaps.> Definitely sounds amazing. Please do post on writing. I am trying to get brave enough to post something of mine on there.
**you can post anything. Lotsa people just use it to vent in their writings, it can be a little intense.> She is feisty enough so I think that she will hold her own (she's 9).

***Nah, I can handle them, the wilder the better! Just so long as your kid doesn't start pointing out all my flaws like mine does.
When I drive for field trips at school, I always tell the teacher to give me the wild kids ! One time I had 3 and they were screaming and expecting me to tell them to shut up. I said g'head and scream, you may be sorry! Ha! Were they ever! Snort! I'm terrible! teacher wondered why they were so quiet the rest of the day !!!
However, my kid can proly hold her own too. Don't know her all that well yet.> Thanks. Tell her that it came from my grandfather who once told me that he always used to wake up in the morning because I'd be babbling away in my crib. He'd say "Time to get up. The cricket's chirping."

***Thats SO cool. What a neat story to have!
Hope I made some sense. I kinda got lost when the kid was writing about the forest.
MuffledOh yeah, go ahead and send the kid, she can have a visit, she sounds cool. She sounds like me.

Hey cricket can you imagine if we let our kids babblemail each other? LOL! OMG they would just totally trash us! Telling each another how horrible we are! Mine would no doubt go on and on about what a sh*thead liar I am. Oh man, way too crazy! NO WAY!!!!!!!ROLF!!!!
I was just thinking about that today and laughing.
I'm learning to take my kid not too seriously too much.
Doesn't always work however.
OH well.
Take care,
Thot you might want a laugh.

***Yea, well I'm a little mentally f*cked, but I bet I could beat the crap out of her.
I may be a little mentally f*cked, but I am a survivor, I will survive.
How can you tell this is a sore spot for me!!!!!!!!!:)
