Checking In

Hi blog friends. I just wanted to explain myself. I have never abandoned my blog for this long. I have also been negligent visiting your blogs. I dropped my camera in the sand on the beach trip and I am afraid to get my pictures off it until I take it to a camera doc. So, no beach pics. But we did have a wonderful time. Just take my word for it, it was beautiful, and we can't wait to go back.
The next thing that has kept me away is that I am going through a divorce. I am dealing with a lot, not the least of which is that my ex-husband won't get his stuff out of my house. So I have not really felt like blogging. Don't get me wrong, I am extremely happy. I have had to put up with a lot over the years - I did it for the kids - but things happened that I could not put up with. Enough said.
I will be back to blogging soon enough. Stay tuned!
Julie

It was good to hear from you Jules! I can't say I know all that you are going through, but a dear friend is in the same boat you are. I sure wouldn't wish divorce on my worst enemies, specially when children are involved. Your friends are there for you as we are here for you as well.

Life happens, and we will be here whenever you have a moment to drop a line :0)

It sounds like the beach vacation was a good prescription though.

Oh wait, did I tell you I have a quilt shoppe in my home? NOW, try to beat that< LOL! Come on over and forget the dead weight. Have I told you you're looking slimmer since you lost that guy? =)

Maybe you could sell his stuff and use the money to buy a new camera? Or just let him know you are having a garage sale if he doesn't have it all out first? I hope it all works out for the best, even though that doesn't make the here and now any more fun to get through.

Hi Julie, I thought I would pay you a visit, as I havent heard from you in a while so have just jumped over to your blog - sorry to hear you have been through a rough time. Looks like a lot of your bloggy friends have been missing you.

Candace said...

Hi Julie,
I have been a negligent blogger so I wasn't aware of the changes in your life. I'm sure that you must have good reasons and that everything will work out for you and your children. One day at a time, and some wiggling. That's how I think of problems, you have to wiggle this way and that way, until you surmount the obstacle and solve the problems.
When you get time check out my blog, there is an update on the hens and chicks that you sent me.
