Donna, I had a dream about you last night.
You and I were running some type of a bed and breakfast.
Oh . . . and you were pregnant.
Oh my. Someone should slap you. LOL A B&B does sound fun though!

Disability papers have been filed. Finally. So now we wait and pray that they go back to July 27th (you don't get it until the second week), even though we didn't get it in until now.
We had a pretty good day. Both wiped out. Way too much handling of the 8,000 pound wheel chair for me. Oy. Oh well. He needed to get out and we can't always have other people here to help.

(((((((((((((((((((Donna)))))))))))))))) Yay!!!! I'm so glad the papers are filed!!!!! I so want to tell you to sit down and relax and stop doing so much, but I know that you probably hear that all the time and think "yeah, right, then nothing will get done that needs to get done." So instead I'll just send you my love and my prayers. May God shower His peace around you and your family.

Jeanie, I cannot wait for that day either!
I had a meltdown last night, and another this afternoon. Combination of hormones, not ever quite enough sleep, and just life. I'm getting really sick of going to bed alone every night. Sometimes I just want to be held.  Brian and I have always been super snuggly and touchy...we usually were touching in some way all night long. And since Esther has been born, we haven't always had time to have our 30 minute snuggles. Someone is always needing me. It's hard. BUT hopefully soon Brian won't need the hospital bed anymore and then we'll have some guys from church bring our bed downstairs. I can't wait for that day, though I'm sure I'll be worried about hurting his bad side in my sleep. Still, it'll be wonderful to have to fight him for the blanket again and smell his stinky farts.
Today was the first time our WHOLE family has been in church since the accident. The kids did pretty well, we did pretty well. It's really hard for me to juggle Hannah, Levi, and Esther without Brian's help. Other people did help some, but it's not the same. We'll figure it out though... Levi fell asleep on the way home though, so no one other than him had a nap. 
Had a big blowup thing (her blowing up, not me...I was surprisingly calm) with Nick's mom Friday and brought Brian with me to attempt a civil conversation with her tonight. Yeah...not possible with her. I expect we will have court papers in the mail this week. Whatever. I hope she can't control her rage in the court room too. Judges love that.  And we haven't been to court since I was pregnant with Hannah, so 2004. She's going to bring us now...with Brian having to show up in a wheelchair? And hopefully lose her cool there too...yeah...even if she gets what she wants (us to go from 6 days a month to 4...every other weekend), at least it'll be because a judge ordered it and not because we gave into her rage and manipulation. She has threatened to take us to court for the full 17% of Brian's income that she can get, and also to go after "Nick's part" of Brian's settlement. I doubt Nick is entitled to any part of his settlement, but will check with the lawyer to be sure. And as for the income...duh...he doesn't have one right now. I'm not worried about it when he does. That's such stupid small potatoes compared to what we've been through. I don't even care. Maybe I should, but I don't. It feels good that she can't control us with the money card. I hope we get a judge that sees through her nonsense, and we definitely qualify for a free lawyer now, so that's good too.

Donna, do you ever sleep with your kids? I can't remember if you do or not. If so, you know you are careful of the babies, even in your sleep, so I imagine that same protectiveness will take over with Brian.

This should not be as funny as I find it right now...
Donna dear, I can't believe you aren't melting down more! You are doing great, you are doing the best you can, you are absolutely amazing- cry, scream, yell- whatever you need to do as long as you are not beating yourself up- that we just can't allow I know you have to do what you are doing and as a wife and mom, you just have to suck it up and deal, but seriously, I just don't know how you do it, especially with Esther- I truly don't think I could physically handle it- you are AMAZING! I'm sure God would give me the strength I needed as He is providing for you, but still, you are doing so well.
Crazy ex's- it is great that you are able to be calm and rational and not allowing her too much power- I know it hasn't always been that way, but you are right, there is only so much she can do... Is it wrong to *pray* that she will loose it in front of a judge....better go consult the begat verses on that, pretty sure it's not in the "regular" text, I think I'd remember...

She probably has unrealistic expectations here. She is thinking like the ambulance-chasing lawyer commercials, that you are going to have millions and for some reason she thinks she is entitled to some of it.
Well, that's what you get when you smoke the stuff she's been smoking.
I do believe she is delusional. When Brian gets a settlement, it is not INCOME, it is compensation for injury. Nick has no injury. Duh. And the smoking...LOL...good point.

Yes, we coslept with Hannah for 2 years, a little at the beginning with Levi, and Esther starts out in her bassinet but comes to bed with me after the first time she wakes up. I hope the same awareness of space will kick in with Brian...

Maybe, but it isn't wrong to pray that her true character comes out in the court room, I don't think. 
OH, it ticked her off that we didn't bow to her wishes. Her husband literally drug her back to the house by her arm. The last thing I heard her say was, "Remember, your HUSBAND did this! He had an affair!" It was almost comical. Seriously. Um, like I wasn't aware how Nicolas got here? And obviously, it's been 8 years now, and we've purposely had 3 more kids together. We're not living in the past, but apparently she still thinks we are. It was just funny that she thought that particular statement would get to me...um, no?
I love my Brian. He didn't really say anything. This accident has really changed how he thinks and reacts to things. I'm seeing that more and more. In the past, he'd have been getting frustrated and yelling right back at her, IF he didn't just give in to the money manipulation. And he'd have been miserable with the kids and I for the next few days, because he would have been stuck in the "it's all my fault we're in this position, I'm not worth forgiving" mentality. All of that...GONE. Not even a hint of it left. Thank you, God!

Maybe he is starting to realize that he is valuable to God because God had a purpose in saving him in the accident. That can make a huge difference.
There is a difference in your home as well. I have commented on it to Russ the last couple of times that I have been there. When I walk in I can feel presence of love, unity and peace. Not that you guys didn't have those things before, but your house is full of it.
God is sooooo blessing you guys.

I think we've both realized how much we used to worry and fret about that doesn't really matter. A bit of perspective...
A cute Levi thing...whenever he hears someone say "oh no", he starts singing "Oh no, you never let go, Lord you never let go of me." He's heard that song a lot. LOL

I wish that i could Stop worrying and Fretting about nothing. I don't think that I do it that often, but when I do... . Right now is one of those times. No matter how many times I give myself a pep talk, I can't seem to get myself to thoroughly believe it.
