Ha! Yeah I don't think so. Maybe some crave attention not this one, she is actually the opposite has never liked attention drawn to her. First time she broke it she was 48 pounds with a 22 pound backpack, tipped over going down front staircase heading for bus. Yep this board member started a board policy about weight percentage of body weight to books sent home. Too late for her but dang.

The next year she stepped on my boy golden retrievers paw.

The third time a gown-up Dad at an outdoor swim meet kicked a rock as she was walking to the block, full force to her foot. He took her down.

The last time she was in my truck coming home from 530 am swim practice during the summer. Kid blew through stop sign and T-Boned her. Slammed her body sideways into door of truck. Kid totalled his pick-up, mine bigger and better had a dent in front quarter panel. Likely saved her from having more than a broken foot and headache.

So sometimes what looks like attention getting cycles to some are just that accidents and when there is a weakness in a part of the body it tends to snap that much easier. Me it was my ankles. I was a gymnast. None of us stuck our landings all the time.

That is all awful. I'm sorry she has been through all of that. I think it is clear that she is not just looking for attention.

Day 13 of the Adventure.... November 1, (Sunday).. Port of Call - Livorno, Italy

Today's activity in includes Pisa, Florence and a Wine tasting in the Tuscany Region.

It started out a little rocky. It seems that the tour company had a bit of a problem in that the scheduled driver didn't show up. We ultimately left the ship about 35 minutes later then originally scheduled. I, having been in transportation for years, was not overly concerned about this, but, some of the "seasoned" cruisers were embarrassingly vocal and angry about this. I suppose I should be glad because it ultimately saved us around $30.00 because of it, but, I hate that kind of confrontation and loud mouth blaming people that had no power over that particular situation. Eventually it all calmed down and we were on our way. First stop... Pisa and the leaning tower within...

After a brief visit it was off to Florence, Italy...

Then to something that was a surprise to me. It was a Wine Tasting/Luncheon at a small family vineyard in the Tuscany region. I have already confessed that my knowledge of wine is limited to the Boone's Farm label, but, I was asked to "rate" a number of wines that were made there at the vineyard. I nodded my head a lot, like I knew something, but, I'm sure they saw right past my faux wine literacy. Still it was a good meal and some outstanding scenery that surrounded and made up the vineyard. I was far more enamored by that then the spirits.

I had a year like that...always getting hurt, a kid at an amusement park ran into the back of my leg with a dolly. I had to go get stiches. Then a girl rear ended us, at a stop light. I went ice skating and fell and got a concussion. It was a bad year. Thankfully I've never had another one like it.

It does sometimes feel like everything happens all at once, doesn't it?

Sympathy like for your little one! It's tough to see them feel bad. :(

Thanks. The day of rest did him well. He actually went off to Beavers tonight because it was their last meeting until the New Year. His cough still sounds like a seal's bark but he has more energy and is coughing much less. Back to school tomorrow. I'm always amazed at how quickly the kids recover compared to us oldies.

I think texts and emails are the same. It doesn't matter which method because both of them can be awful with him. I don't know how many times he's called me abusive and a liar. Granted, I admit my behavior has been less than stellar at times, but he has been just as bad, except he NEVER admits it.

I think the difference is that you actually have to make an effort to go and check emails. Texts can come in at any moment and ruin your mood. I find people are less likely to write emails too with one little line. Maybe ban written communication? If you need to talk, make times to do that and that's it. I guess my point is that you should be able to forget about him at least for short periods and not deal with this all the time.

I can relate on the heavy backpacks thing.
I'm a bit of hutched up (a bit bent back) thanks to having to carry like 15 Kg of school stuff to the university (including a heavy laptop) for years.

Which is why I have a Surface and carry a purse two days a week. Backpacks in college are the worst.

I cleaned mine out because I just take a purse to take my finals and the next time I'll need my backpack will be to go on vacation. It was a wonderful feeling to completely empty out all the semester's carp.

Oh, it's definitely not my choice. He simply has nowhere to go because he has no money. His closest family lives 50 miles away.

Just wondering, and you can just tell me to mind my own business...but what does he plan to do when the divorce is final? What does your lawyer think about him living there? I hope for your sake the plan is to have him move out as soon as possible. I do think that you must be a really nice person to live there when it seems (to me) he doesn't have a legal right to be there.
