Hi Everyone,

I've updated some parts of my website with pics, messages and greetings, blogging, and such. Please go and check it out at www.geoctities.com/dimndsmile. Please don't forget to sign my yearbook and if you have any suggestions on how I can improve it, please let me know. I could use a few suggestions and tips. Even after having my website for about 2yrs now, I'm still learning.

Things have gotten a little better around here for us. They have taken Harley off several of his medications and increased one of them. He's smiling more, asking for hugs and kisses, plus talking more. His appitite has even picked up....yeah. I went today to the mental health to fill out some paperwork to get him back into counceling, this time for his behavior. He still needs to learn how to use his words to express himself, instead of hitting, biting, kicking, screaming, crying and throwing things. You can still see anger inside of him, but at least there are more smiles these past few days. He's even becoming my little helper again around the house. Davidson is starting to calm down some, but not much. Once Harley starts his counseling, then I will be able to use some of the tips with Davidson. Harley will have one on one counseling plus family counseling, so Davidson will benefit too.

It has taken me just over a year, but I have finally come to peace with the lost of my marriage. No more tears are being shed. The way I look at it, it's his lost not mine. He will be the one losing out not me. I know there is someone special out there for me somewhere and I'm patient enough to wait. Right now I'm concentrating on the boys and myself first. The boys take my full attention right now. Once our house is a fun loving and nothing but laughters again, then I can work on other areas in my life.

January 1st will be 35 years since my grandpa passed away. I miss him dearly. He was a very special man in my life. Always had his arms open for hugs and always had a smile on his face. The memory has faded, but I can still barely remember the last Christmas we spent with him and the doll he had gotten me. Every once in awhile I can see him and my Grandma standing side by side just smiling at me. I never seen my grandpa upset or angry, just always happy. Someday I will be able to get hugs again from my grandpa and I can't wait.

One of my dear childhood friends has been on my mind a lot lately. I lost contact with her back in 1982 and would love to be able to talk to her again. She and I have been through a lot together, but always knew we could count on each other to talk to. The last I had seen her she and her mom was living in Lake Geneva, WI. I have been in contact with dad, but he hasn't seen her in 20yrs. and he's still in the area. I hear her mom had gotten remarried and Kathy is married now too and living somewhere in MI the last her dad had heard. I'm new at the geneology thing and searching for people, so if anyone can help me I would really appreciate it. She was like a sister to me. Her name is Kathy O'Bright and she is 41yrs old now. Her birthday is in April and she's 3yrs younger than me. If you can help me and would like more information, please contact me and I will get it for ya.

Well, I promised the boys movie night tonight, so I'm going to go and fix dinner, something easy, then sit down with them and watch a movie. They go back to school on Thursday, and I can't wait. I miss those few hours in the morning to myself.
