Today's Ramblings

So it's almost 10:30 and we've been told all day that there is a possibility of snow tomorrow. Being a Texan that's a bit exciting! That's all I have to say about that!

Anyways, went to my first Pharmacology seminar today and fell in love! Our bodies are amazing! Did you know that our liver metabolizes a lot of drugs that enter out system? Did you also know that grapefruit reduces the livers ability to metabolize? Knowing the answer to these two questions explains why doctors tell us not to drink or eat grapefruit while taking medication!

On a different note... If my calculations are correct it has now been a year since Jeremy and Alex's MOTHER has tried to reach them. It sounds sad but in all honesty here is how it looks to me... There wasn't a single time this year I had to sit and watch my daughter cry because her mother "promised" I didn't have to watch her sit at the door or stay home from friends house waiting on a phone call or visit! I didn't have to watch my son cry because again his mother showed up and didn't want anything to do with him. I didn't have to sneak out and hunt for things to give them so I can write "from mommy" on because again she let them down. Alex is blossoming more and more each day, coming out of that shell she used to hide in. Jeremy, I don't have enough words to express how proud I am of him. He has become such a strong young man in many ways, emotionally, physically, academically, better than you could imagine. 

Okay, it's time for bed now, gotta get a little more reading in before I go to sleep. Goodnight all!

  1. Wow you sound like you might have a situation similar to mine. I have a daughter and son that has not seen there natural mother, and I say it that way because I concider myself their mother and so do they, in about 6 years now. She was ordered supervised visits to be supervised by either myself or my husband, their natural father, but she has come to one visit. She does not call them, send letters or cards nothing. But like you said at least I have not seen them crying or wondering why she did not show up in some time. They are teenagers now and do say from time to time now that they are mad at her because they do not understand why she does not want anything to do with them. We do not even know where she lives anymore to even let them contract her theirself if they wanted too. Ok I will get off my soap box, but just wanted to let you know that your not alone.
