I am having a hard time today. Today is my little man's birthday and he is officially a 1 year old. I can't believe how fast this past year has gone by. Sometimes I wish he was that little itty bitty baby again that sleeps on your shoulder and needs you for everything. Now, he's almost walking and he has his own way of doing things. I'm happy and sad all at the same time.
I love you doodle bug!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KMAN! I can't believe it's been a year. Thanks for letting me be a part of it!
I MISS YOU BUDDY!
Erika, I need to apologize for my crap-talking sister who posted a message to you at Jill's blog. I DO know you, though, (I met you the same day Jill did) and I am begging you, please, please please don't be so mean to Jill. She is really hurting, and it's not just because of you and Chrissy. In fact, she has had nothing bad to say about Chrissy at all, I swear. I have been talking to her daily through all of this, and she just feels bad for all she's done the past couple of years. I know you guys feel betrayed--so do I. In fact, there's probably no one who feels more betrayed than me or Drew. But people can't heal when their noses are always rubbed in their pasts.
She didn't ask you to come to her blog and leave that terrible comment; I dont' see anything even remotely rude from her here. Why would you comment on that post of hers? It was clearly about a conversation that happened WITHIN the family two days ago that hurt her deeply. She understands that friends have to cut ties sometimes--that's fine. It's the family backstabbing that really hurts.
Anyway, I just wanted to make sure that you and Chrissy know that she's not upset about you guys--she has way bigger things going on right now. If you guys know in your hearts that you've done the right thing by severing ties, then be at peace with and maybe pray for charity toward someone who has disappointed and hurt you. Works for me.
Jamie,
Jill sent me a very immature email on Friday to my work asking "why" I took her link down and what the hell she ever did to me. In the email she then says "and BTW how is Chrissy since she's your new best friend now". She was just very snotty and very rude and just after I got that email that post went up. I responded to her email by simply saying "Jill, re read that email you just sent me and then ask yourself why I don't want anything to do with you. She has been very caddy and made some very rude remarks toward me and my husband on chrissys blog the past few months. I haven't done or said anything to her and I truley thought that post was about me. The way she is making it look is as if people are talking about her and saying things and nobody has. Chrissy and I really just wanted to be removed from the situation but she won't just leave it. She keeps emailing her and me and I just wish she would move on and stop. I wont comment anymore. I respect you a lot for commenting on my blog and explaining the situation. That was very big of you and I am sorry. I will delete my comments on Jills blog if you would like me to.
Nah, everything is fine, Erika. I really feel for you guys, and I feel for Jill, too. sometimes the consequences of your actions keep coming back to bite you in the but long after you've repented and it makes forgiving yourself so hard. I'm just asking that you not make it any harder, adn try not to be offended. I don't know what possessed her to write to you yesterday and be so catty, but honestly, in all our conversations she has always said she understands why Chrissy had to bail. I myself am a fierce protector of my own family and I will sever ties with friends if anyone is taking my emotional energy away from my kids. I have even done it with Jill briefly this past year, and she totally gets why it's neccessary. In fact, I think right now Heavenly Father is teaching her where her focus should be. I always wondered how she had so much time and energy to run around with friends--I don't and I never felt bad about it. I know she is going to learn to focus on her own kids and Drew, and I am just trying to help her get there without pushing her so hard that she breaks down or relapses or something. This is all turning out to be much harder than she thought it would be.
Anyway, just do what you have to do, but please don't read any nastiness into what she has written because it's either fleeting or unintended--I know she loves and understands where you guys are coming from.
Oh, PS: Some people HAVE been talking behind her back adn it has been really hurtful because they are talking about things she did a year ago, not takling into account the 11 months of rehad and therapy and repentance she ahs been doing. I just hate to see people kicked when they are down and trying to get up. Especially by a trusted family member. Sorry to be so wordy--geez--I just wanted to get that in there! ;)
Understood. I wish her well with her recovery, no offense taken.
