Re: catching up

OMG Karen, you have fantastic tast 🙂 i like both your choices, it is going ot look amazing, you sure have an eye for tast.

Yes i got a lot done, the weather is going to be very hot next week so i tried to get everything done today. all i have to do tomorrow is mop.

I think it is a pinched nurve in my ankle, i am sure it will come out on it's own, i am not walking on it much tonight, jsut to get my coffee's that is all 🙂

i have an ankle brace if it get's too bad.

talk about support, have you managed to get your brother to order the patella strap yet?

Tonight, well i am hoping my princess will alow her prince to chat to her 🙂 and watching Vikings, oh boy my ancesters where a horrible bunch of people, i definately would nto have made a good Viking 😞

hugs my angel, i have been thinking of you all day, i even lit a sandlewood insense stick and watched it thinking about you the whole time.

Jacques

Re: catching up

I think your choice will be beautiful im not game enough to go strong colors. The kitchen doesn't get much sun so I want to keep it as bright as possible.
I sat with the girls and showed them the option's I had picked and I let them choose. I want to keep them involved its there house too.

we also went and looked at flooring today the girls showed me what they liked .

I asked my brother if he could get it for me but he
hasn't done it. I won't hold my breath. It would definitely help when mowing.

Oh my i know what you mean, but my kitchen has a lot of light, and i did not want to go white because it marks so easily, i thought a lighter colour would help in hiding the dust and spills.

I am so glad you are getting the girls involved, it will give them a sense of pride as it will you. You have exquisite taste Karen, and i am sure the girls have good tast too 🙂

i do hope you and the girls like your new home, i am sure it will be bliss for you all, i know i like it from the photo you showed me 🙂

i hope the whole house inside and out is not going to be pink!!!!!

i so wish i could buy one for you, you would have it in the week, i know it would help you. i know the struggle of injury when you have so much to do.

Hugs my angel, it is nice to speak to you.

Re: catching up

Hey Jacques no I hope not too much pink the walls will be hog bristle. Ive told the girls they can pick their own bedroom color. So they are looking at color charts.

you are doing so well Jacques your mum must be so happy that you are making the house beautiful again.

It would be helpful to have the brace. My knee goes to dislocate while im driving even just going from the excellerator to the brake is extremely painful.

I just want to get everthing done so we can move in.

Re: catching up

, i could just imagine a flurescent pink house, it would be hilarious!!!!!

My goodness Karen, our tasts are so alike, i love the colour hog bristle, it is beautiful, and i am glad you are letting the girls pick the colour of their rooms, it will be their special place, the safe place, i hope they go wild with it.

I hope mum will be happy with the house, it still feels so surreal going fro mshowering out of buckets of cold water to having a fully functioning house, i often see how far we have come and see how close we are to finishing. it will be so nice to sit back and just enjoy the finished product.

Oh my angel, i so wish i had proper contact with you to order it for you, i don't like to see you in pain, and i know this might help. that is so bad it dislocates in such curcumstances. yes i could imagine, my knee does that if i try to run, i split my knee cap when i was 12 riding a bike, now if i try to run my kneww goes backwards and is very painful.

Yes i know my angel, i so wish you could move in tomorrow, it must be nice having something to think about other than the past, it is so complicated picking out colours and styles, it will keep you very busy.

I am so proud of you Karen, to do this all on your own take incredable courage, you are such a tallented lady.

Re: catching up

All the doubts I had about the house are gone I now know it is the right thing to do. Have that distance from my parents. I am still scared but not as much as I am being here living with them. It is really detramental to my health.

for the first time I can see a future with the girls. They most certainly wouldn't be better off living with my parents.

The girls are excited so thats good too.

Re: catching up

Hugs my angel, do you realise this is the first time you have spoke nto me about a future?

in the 2 years i have known you you have never spoken of the future, never spoken about doing the right thing, and never spoken of happyness.

Karen i am so proud of you, you have come a long way, we both have.

you have 2 beautiful girls, a beautiful home and good friends, i would say you life is looking very good in the future 🙂

I just know you and the girls are going to make a great family, with happyness, smiles and laughter.

My angel, you are managing so well, you are so awsome, so tallented and so caring, i am so proud of you, all your trials and tribulations and you are still looking at the positives.

Hugs my angel, you are awsome.

Re: catching up

Karen that is the way to think, yes their will be bumps in the road, but you have a clear and precise goal, when you stumble keep you eye on the goal, it will help you through the dark times.

My angel, you have helped yourself, i am just honoured you allowed me on your journey to happyness, you are a wonderful person Karen, a loving mother and a caring friend, i hope one day you can stop punishing yourself and allow yourself some happyness, allow the real Karen to shine. 🙂

My angel please be careful, you have nothing to prove to anyone, i am proud of you for not giving up, she has slowed your progress but not stopped it, my angel you only ever have to please yourself, seeing your inner self shine, your self-esteem and self-confidence will be your reward.

hugs my angel, it is nice to see glimpses of the Real Karen. this is a special moment for me, to see you focusing on the good instead of the bad.
