Hey, Nan

Good to hear from you again.

Shedding is a common side-effect of stress, and divorce can be a very stressful thing. Particularly when children and property are part of the picture. But it won't be this crazy forever, thank goodness, and your shedding will eventually stop.

lol Everybody looks terrible in clothes that are way too big for them. I know that that budget's going to be pretty tight from now on...so perhaps you can ask for new clothes for Christmas. People who know you will be trying to help you out in any little way they can - just tell them what you need.

If your hair is in need of a trim, and there's a little $$ in the budget for it, then I would suggest doing it now. It takes 6 months for a divorce to process from the time it is filed, so if your hair needs it, you shouldn't make it wait that long.
Try not to put your life on hold until "after the divorce is final." That is certainly something to look forward to because it will be a big weight off of your shoulders...but your problems won't magically end right then & there. You're still going to have the bills, the mortgage, the custody issues, etc.

It's awkward and it sucks rocks right now, I know. But try to use this time to just focus on being a good mother to Cheyenne. No throwing yourself over cliffs. She needs your guidance now more than ever. Hang in there.

Happy Thanksgiving! yeah, whatever....anyway.

We filed the divorce papers yesterday. We should know something by next Friday.....

Oh the hair front....it seem I need to wash more frequently now in the winter than I needed to all summer....weird.

I've used my hair dryer twice....I know, I know....but I just can't leave the house with wet hair. I don't use it much, just a little....

Nothing much else is going on.....later.

Well, I've been a bad girl. I've been using the hair dryer more frequently than not. Since I've been having to shampoo more frequently than usual and it's so darn cold in the mornings.....I've had to use it. Not for long and certainly not for sytling purposes...just so my hair is not dripping wet when I leave the house. I hope I will be forgiven.....

Anyway. I'm actually in pretty good spirits in spite of the fact that my life kinda sucks right now. I'm rather lonely and somewhat weird about how awufuly lonliness is....but nevertheless, I am surviving. LOL

I'm not at all prepared for Christmas. In fact, I'd really like to skip it this year but perhaps I should remember that Christmas is to celebrate the birth of our Savior and not about all the gifts I cannot afford to give! LOL

Hope everyone is doing well....

Christmas is a special time.... ignore the commercialization of it. If you must give gifts, give from the heart not the pocket book. Maybe you can make some of your gifts. A nice frame with a picture of you and your daughter would make a great gift for many, I'm sure. (Your avatar picture is a great picture!).

Holidays are always tough after a major change in your life. Try to take things slowly and not over do things. Make it a special time for you and your daughter. Go look at lights or other Christmas displays in your area. Maybe find a children's play to attend. Learn a Christmas song together and go caroling. Have some fun.

Well, lets see. My poor hair has been though so much this week. We were packing our office to move and I kept taping my hair to boxes.....

I french braided my hair yesterday and the end was so thin....I am seriously worried about this.

I have continued to use the hair dryer if I wash in the morning because it's cold. I know that's bad but sometimes you do what you have to do. Embarrassed

I'm having rather extreme food issues as of late. I need to stop and I also need to start exercising again!

My husband and I have our hearing for the finalization of our divorce on 12/19.... I hope that is uneventful....

Stress is such a yucky thing to deal with - it can cause hair loss and if you are like me, it also results in me eating too much and eating the wrong things. An exercise routine can help in several ways - the obvious calorie burning, but it also releases endorphins that will make you feel better about life in general (it can counteract depression). Your hearing is soon, and then you can start the real healing process. Try to find a regular time to do a little exercising - you will feel much better in so many ways.

Oww! Tape & hair do not mix. Tongue

If you can French braid your own hair, you're far more talented than I. Maybe you should do your hair that way for work to avoid future taping fiascos. Shocked

Extreme food issues...what? *hides the box of SweeTarts that I'm scarfing* Grin

We all fall off of the wagon sometimes, hon. lol

Sounds as if the legal proceedings are definitely getting under way. Though I must say, I'm pretty amazed at how fast they seem to be addressing the issue out there. In CA, it takes 6 months for a divorce to become final after a couple has filed for one. But the emotional process is the same, I guess. Just do what you have to do. *hugzz* Hang in there, m'lady. Everything will be in its right place soon.

BTW, I like the new pic in your signature! Your hair looks very healthy!

Hello Everyone!!!!

So sorry I've been MIA.....life just continues to get in the way.

Let's see....hair....it survived the packing tape! I think I really need a trim but I will put it off for a while. Diet-back on the wagon again. I'm up a few pounds but luckily my clothes still fit (the small one's....that is). So, I'm back to Atkins, added Coconut Oil to my daily coffee....and my twice a day workouts. I have to do it. So, here I go again. Tongue

I have/had a friend that I'd know for a long time. He and I were friends (online) long before I ever met my husband. Well, a couple of weeks ago he and I were talking, just having a normal good conversation and he decided out of the blue that we should no longer communicate! Cry

I was heart broken. He was my lifeline. I believe that I've been in love with him on some level for the last decade...So, I sorta had my heart broken twice this year.....once by husband and once by friend.

My husband and I....well....we get along so well now. This is the strangest relationship in the world. We talk, we laugh, we even flirt.....too bad it wasn't this way before--EVER.

We see the judge on Tuesday....this should be an experience...I'm afraid of the outcome. I mean, I realize she cannot decide that we can't get divorced but she could make me sell my house. That would be the best thing in the long run but I'd never get what I needed for the house and I'd still be paying a mortgage on top of a rent payment. I just pray the Lord will guide the judge and do what is best for everyone involved.

Ok...so I'm off to ride my exercse bike and clean my house. Man, my house sure has suffered.

You poor thing.  I wish I had some magic words to help you feel better, but that stuff only works in the movies...and sometimes not even then.     This too shall pass.  You're doing a good job of putting one foot in front of the other.  Good job, also, on getting back on track with the low carb way of life.     Control the things you can, and let the rest go.  *hugs*
