G'Day Beba, Mine & Lil !

I dunno Beba, give us a 'try' !

I got a 'broad' mind.
It's GOTTA be broad enough, to fit in me BIG HEAD, without 'Rattlin Around' !!

Also being a Grand Father, of nearly 12months now, and soon to be a Grand Father again, at the end of November !

I 'MIGHT', no, SHOULD be able to 'believe' what's been goin on !!

Our Eldest Daughter, who is around 8 Months Pregnant, again.
Is now finding the 'Joys' of a "Speed Crawler" who is "Trying to stand on her OWN 2 feet" !!

She's getting, More & More worried about: "How is she is going to cope with 2 Children ?!?!"

We keep trying to tell her, that she will manage.
But she says, "She's only just "Finding her Own Feet" with Allora !!"

So she's doubting herself, and her abilities to cope, when Baby Number 2 arrives, next month.

We, her Parents, know that she is adaptable, and quite capable of taking care of her children.
But it's hard to get her to believe US, when WE tell her!

She thinks we're just saying it, to "Make her feel good"....
Which we are, but it's the TRUTH !
In fact, she's done a Marvellous Job, with Allora.
And we REALLY think she'll do as well, with the Next Baby.

We haven't been told any Names or the Baby's Sex yet...
So I'm sorry, but I can only say: 'Baby No. 2' or 'The Next Baby' !

I suppose, Lilmomma is having a similar problem with Kaylee & Xander..

Although, Lilmomma is a little luckier, as Kaylee is older than Allora.
And Kaylee is also old enough, to know right from wrong.

(But, it doesn't always mean that children are going to "Do the Right Thing", though, does it ?!?! )

I hope everything else is OK in your Home, Beba !

Although, I am concerned about Mine, and I hope he's getting things, "Sorted Out".

I know, that it's 'None of my business'.
But I hope, for his sake, that he has managed to 'fix' his personal problems.

Anyway, we're always here, if you need a 'Sounding Board' !

I "Check In" usually at least once a Day.

So, PLEASE !!
If you need us, USE US !!

I think I speak for everyone when I say,
"We wish we could help you, ALL, in any way possible !"

I appreciate that Moose. Not much anybody can help with though. My stepson(lils ex hubby) has gave us a fit with drugs and other problems since he was 15. Lil has had her share of problems with him also. He recently made his return to her again and of course we are all worried about him breaking her and the kids hearts for the third time. But now he has landed him self in the county jail. This is something that we have been wanting to happen to him for a long time. I see this as our last hope for him making a change in his life. We are really hoping he see's where his lifestyle is leading him and that he won't like it. We went to see him Sunday and he looked better than we have saw him look in a long time. He was bright eyed and smiled the whole time we were there. He told us that he went to church that morning and that he wanted us to bring him a bible. We left there with even more hope that this was a good thing and that he might walk away different. But at the same time I am afraid that when he gets out he will go back to hanging with the same friends and end up going right back to the same lifestyle. Lil loves him so much and it is almost impossible for her to let him go no matter what he does to her. So you all say a prayer and get all you know to say a prayer that this will wake him up and make him want to change and be a daddy to his babies.

Mine is still having personal problems also. He and his wife are still separated. So keep them and their family in your prayers also. Ohhh Yeah.... He is gonna be a grandpa (poppa) too, hehehehehe. He is just a little excited about that I think.

Lil is doing good taking care of Kaylee and Xander. All together we have a houseful of kids we take care of. There are 5 ranging from 1 month to 13 years. That keeps it hectic around here.

Hope all goes well for your daughter and her pregnancy. She will have her hands full but love every minute of it, lol.

G'Day Folks !!

Sorry I haven't been 'Checkin In' as usual, but I've had my hands full !!

Wifey has been Terribly Ill !
So ill, in fact, that we didn't get to go on our Trip to the Bike Races !!

I've been 'Nursing Wifey', for the past 5-6 Days now, as she's too sick to do much of anything.

I've barely even been turning the Computer on for work !
Let alone, catchin up on my On-Line 'Social Life' !

It took me OVER 4 Days, to write ONE E-Mail, and it ISN'T even one of my Lloonngg Rambling ones !!

My best wishes fly out to you ALL !!

And I hope your Stepson sees the 'error of his ways' and "Cleans his act up" !

Sometimes, a "Short, Sharp, Shock" like a Prison Stay, can Open somepeople's eyes !

I hope it works with him !!
For his and Lil, Kaylee & Xander's sakes !!

Tell him, from MY YOUNGER EXPERIENCES , that the BEST way to stay 'clean', is like you said !!

STAY AWAY from your 'Old Friends ' !!!

They're NOT your Friends, if they're gonna put that stuff in front of you again !!

I actually moved out of the District, so my 'Old Friends ' couldn't find me !!
Then I could concentrate on getting my Life Back Together !

LIFE is SO MUCH BETTER, when you can remember what happened !!

You'll need those Memories, when you get 'Older' like me!
So you can 'BORE' your Kids, Grand Kids & Friends with em !

It also helps you, get to be 'Old' and have those GREAT THINGS, like Kids, Grand Kids & Old Friends that care about you !!

Tell Mine, that he's always on my mind, and I wish the best for him !!

Thank you for thinking of my Daughter, and I will pass your "Words of Wisdom" onto her !

Hey, just thought that I'd chime in here for a second. No mate, I'm a long way from having things straightened out. My whole life is a nightmare right now. A fast roller coaster ride that is riding on rails that are yet to me laid. But I'm making it.

As beba mentioned, my oldest daughter became pregnant and after the shock wore off, I fully accepted it and was looking forward to having a grandbaby. Well she had a miscarriage the other day. We were all devastated. We just don't understand some things here, but we will one day. She passed him early Friday morning and we had a beautiful memorial service for him Saturday evening and buried him. It was good closure.

I wish I had some good news about my life to share, but things seem to be getting worst on most days. I don't see how I can actually still have any tears left, but I know I do because they just keep on coming.

Talk to you all later,
Robbie

REMEMBER -

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
Jesus Christ and the American G.I.
One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
You should thank them both and often!!

[Moose]

MATE !!!

I'm Terribly Sorry for your loss !!

There's nothing I can think of that would worse !

I'm also sorry to hear that things are still "Up in the Air" for you....

I wish I had some 'MAGIC WORDS' to make all the hurt go away, but I don't, of course.

There have been times in my life, that I thought I couldn't go on, and I contemplated, the 'Ultimate' Finale.

There have only been, a couple of these times, but I still remember the Shock & Helpless Pain that I felt at the time.

I imagine, that you would be feeling something similar.

One of those 'LOWS' in my life, was so bad...
You could have made a "Country & Western" Ballad out of it, and it would have made somebody rich !

I'm NOT kidding you, my life was just One TRAIN WRECK after ANOTHER !!

I had lost EVERYTHING that I held 'DEAR' in my life, and I could NOT get any of the Broken pieces to fit back together !

But my Grandmother saved me, with some words of wisdom, that I'll share with you, now.

I don't know, if they'll help you in your situation, but I hope they can....

Please remember, this was MY Grandmother talking to me !

I am making No Slur, nor Blaming or taking a Superior Position to ANYBODY ELSE !

I'm just offering these words, in case they may help you... OK ?

"Once you are at the "Bottom of the Barrel", and your life seems to have hit Rock Bottom.

You have TWO Choices, my son.

You can just Give Up, and swim around in the muck and rubbish at the Bottom of the Barrel...

Or you can take control of your life, and start the 'SWIM BACK UP' !

Now, I'm not going to lie to you, and say the Swim Back Up is going to be easy!

It's MUCH EASIER, to just stay at the Bottom of the Barrel .

BUT ! If YOU make the Effort !

You will find, the 'Higher' you get, the 'Clearer the Water' will be .

You will be able to see opportunities, and possibilities, that you could NEVER have seen, at the "Bottom of that Barrel " !

Things will look 'Clearer, Cleaner & Nicer' and the 'SWIM UP ' gets easier, the further up you get !

As you're NOT weighed down, by the "Dross and Sediment" at the "Bottom of the Barrel" .

BUT ULTIMATELY, the CHOICE IS YOURS...

SINK or SWIM, it's REALLY UP TO YOU !!"

Her words turned my life around, at a VERY DANGEROUS, stage for me.
(And this from a Lady, who COULDN'T SWIM !!! )

As I said, I had LOST EVERYTHING, and I couldn't think straight.

So, even when I made a decision, it was usually the WRONG ONE !
And I seemed to be 'Burying myself Deeper' in the hole I had dug for myself.

I sincerely hope you can get your life, back on some 'Solid Grounding', to commence the "Swim Back Up".

Remember Mate, WE ALL care about you, and we would like to see you happy again !

HANG IN THERE Robbie, you're tougher than you think !
