I wish there truly were an Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind treatment you could get. There's several of the last few years I could really do without.

Thanks. I've been toying with the idea of sending another email to dismiss the first email but that is so damned sitcommy that...meh...yeah. ;)

Yes. He's a ginormous part of the whole 'rough week'. So much that I'm unable to explain in a simple blog comment but suffice it to say that things are quite complicated between the husband and I if you dig deeper than surface and seeing the ex was a huge mindbender for me.

I might - but maybe I'll be lucky and the email addy will be one he's no longer using. I mean, hey, I've been through four major emails in the last three years. Ammirite?

Ugh. I drunkenly emailed my ex tonight. After like a year. Out of the blue. Rough week + Seeing him in public + him staring at me for three minute solid + Alcohol = /facepalm.

I was with a therapist during a very emotionally and occasionally physically abusive personal relationship. I'd gone to him because I needed to gain the inner strength to learn how to leave - given that I'd grown up in an abusive home it was hard on various levels to disengage. During our third session he told me that…

Omg this totally made my crappy day! I have watched this video about ten times already and it's not gotten old yet :)

I am a firefighter. I was on the line until I was seven months pregnant with my son who is ten now. He has Tourette Syndrome (which shares an extreme amount of characteristics with ASD), Sensory Processing Disorder, severe OCD, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, Immune Deficiency and Auditory Processing…

A. N. Rolequare. I came here to say 'this has already been done - better' but you beat me to it ;)

I want to go there and take them all home with me. God this is a depressing start to my week.

I can't believe I'm actually saying this - I never thought I could think worse of her than I already did but there it is. I got contact embarrassment watching her in those interviews all over again.

Me! I couldn't wait ever since I first saw the preview. ;)

Thank you! I could totally use that hug, lol. This week was rough but like I said in reply to Silver.leaves, I just really want everyone to know that there are positive stories and that TS is far more than a few people who shout out dirty words. :)

Awe, thank you - but I don't think I did anything different than any other mom would have. I just really want to get some more positive stories out there and show what the real TS is like. Only 3% of those with the disorder have coprolalia yet it's the one aspect that gets the most attention. While my son does have…

So I was asked to write a guest blog about my experiences as a mother of a child with Tourette Syndrome. I love you gals at Jezzie so I hope no one minds but I'd really love to share it. I know that we've gone through so much and I would have loved to know that things would be okay so much earlier on. You hear so many…

I was on duty yesterday. We ran 18 calls in 24 hours and I got home just in time to change into my dress uniform and go to my coworker's funeral. He was laid to rest with full honors. I held it together pretty well until they did the last call over the radio for the entire department - they called his name twice and…

I love that the only one with common sense seems to be the one little girl who says "I'm only 11!".

Agreed. When my daughters were about the fourth or fifth grade those tube tops from the 70s came back into style. But not just for adults. Target was selling them in the little girls section. It seemed so creepy for these girls to be wearing something like that when they were at an age where they're just hitting…

I am so going to Hell. The second that kid shrieked "I'm NOT doing it again!" I started laughing hysterically.

A chocolate one and I just want to eat those tasty little edges. God what is wrong with me?!
