Ya know, I'm really disappointed in people lately. I have been on the mom's list for two years, and gotten to know alot of moms and *thought* I made some friends. I recently requested help for an application for CASA to represent children in court who need a permanent loving home, I needed references. And the sad part is, that only three people

I'm sorry Mel....i didn't offer because i don't know you well enough...strange to say since you've been on the list for 2 yrs, but i feel like i need to get to know you better before i can be an upstanding reference, yanno?

I think we've all had our moment of where we reflect and wonder if we 'fit' with the mom's group..i know i have a few times....but then, i remember all of the fun get togethers, and little friendships i've made along the way and it gets me out of my rut....

I hope you find the right answer...i know you've found a few great friends on the list, that should stand for something! :-)

I know you don't know me well enough, and there are only a select few that I expected to come forward that do know me well enough, it just seems like there is *something* going on with the list and I just don't fit in... I could just be having a bad day though too...I do have alot of great friends, some I'd do anything for... and it does count for everything =))

I don't think I saw that post. There's so many posts on the list now, I can't keep up. Honestly, the last post I remember reading from you was that you were in such pain, you might have to go on disability and that your work was giving you a hard time about being sick. I am really behind on posts though

It doesn't say if it is a general one or a long term one... I know in Missouri it was a year, so that's pretty much what I've stuck to. I did CASA there and loved it! I lived in Florrisant, St. Charles, St.Louis, O'Fallon, Wentzville Missouri =) I would've killed to go to school in Columbia at Mizzu... sigh... here is their website

I apologize Mel, and I am sure some of this is directed at me. I saw that people were referencing you so I figured you had enough. I apologize profusely. Its not that I dont want to, or dont think you are capable at all.. I honestly figured you had enough references..

:(

Thank you, that does make me feel a whole lot better, I was having a rough day, and thought those who did know me well enough just didn't want to, and my feelings were hurt... you know me, eventually I get over it hon =)) Thanks!!!!

Mel.. why dont you come over one of these nights when you are off and we can talk. You and I havent had a chance to do that and I think it may be beneficial to both of us to just hang out and have some fun. Whaddya say?

I need to get rid of this cold but if you are up to it maybe this weekend :)

[celticangyl]

I'm always up for girlie time =))) I'm sorry you have a cold, it sucks... I haven't felt well either, I'm hoping its just the B.C. though lol...

Hope you are feeling better about things Mel. I too am having some doubts about the group lately. It seems people like jumping on other people's posts and it has been, in my opinion, a little ridiculous. But that's my opinion and we are all intitled to them. I have awful PMS this weekend so I need to see how I feel tomorrow about things. lol

[celticangyl]

I am, and I'm not. It's weird. The fight with Candi, what the hell went wrong? I took it offlist so that it wouldn't get anymore out of hand and kept it between her and I, got my butt chewed because I was mean onlist and tried to play nice offlist... whatever... I apologized for what it was worth and moved on. It just seems... I don't know how to put it.. cliquish (sp?) isn't exactly it but that's part of it, I don't know what it is does that make any sense Michelle? Im going through alot right now, could be that and with my health, and trying to figure life out lol... and the PMS thingy you spoke about... It'll be ok... eventually =))

Mel - I think it's because of all the new mommies on the list. I started feeling different after all the new mommies but I've met a few now and am starting to feel better. I don't know, but it just doesn't seem like the same list it was two years ago.

Exactly!!! I think that just might be it... it's definitely not the same list anymore... not that that is a bad thing, but it's hard to meet them when I work, they stay at home or have outings far away... it's just hard... thanks for the input though =))
