Diary of a Birth Mom Part 2

Anniversaries 01-Dec-2000 My little girl went to the G.I. specialist yesterday but I haven't heard anything. She's only eight pounds and won't eat much. I worry about her constantly. 02-Dec-2000 I'm kind of down. I went to a birthday party. My little girl's okay - 9 pounds, 5 1/2 ounces, thank God! I felt happy for the first time in a long time earlier tonight but now it's gone. 03-Dec-2000 My little girl's adoptive brother put Mr. Potato Head glasses on her! I feel so grateful today. I know she's happy. 09-Dec-2000 I'm working on a book proposal for my journal, written in novel format and with a lot more detail. I got depressed after buying my little girl's Christmas present - a "Little House on the Prairie" book. I joined the gym at work. Yesterday I had five years sober. 13-Dec-2000 Snowed in. I'm finally not obsessing about my daughter. Although she's on my mind, it's not the throbbing, all consuming obsession it has bee...

Diary of a Birth Mom

Terri Rimmer Page 1 of 11 next >> email article to friend printer friendly version most popular articles read comments review article add to favorites 17-Jan-2000 I found out Jan. 2 I'm pregnant and was shocked. I moved into Gladney where I've decided to live. I pray for self-forgiveness for what I'm about to do. I moved in today having made the agonizing decision to give you up for adoption. I picked up my four-year medallion the other day at my AA meeting. My sister decided not to raise you after I asked her initially. My friend Jan and my boss think I should raise you. My friend Sheryl says all this will bring me closer to God. Why can't God and I just have lunch? 18-Jan-2000 I had dorm orientation tonight. Andrea in Admissions gave me a sweet card. I got to talk to the doctor. Tomorrow I meet the Transitional Care staff person and move my furniture to storage. I f...

Dance

Arts & Entertainment Non-profit dance school helps students Terri Rimmer Students from the JP Elder Saturday Fine Arts program perform with puppets as part of the El Dia de los Muertos celebration Updated: 07/30/05 By Terri Rimmer Happynews Citizen Journalist The non-profit Contemporary Dance school in Fort Worth marks their 15th year doing educational outreach programs. "When we started this organization there was no professional modern dance company in Fort Worth and there never had been," said Kerry Kreiman, executive/artistic director and co-founder of Contemporary Dance. "We felt like part of our mission was to educate people and provide opportunities. We wanted for artists in the area to have more regular and reliable venues to perform in for the modern art dance artists that work here so education has been a really important part of what we have done all along." According to Kreiman, most people in the country are not familiar with modern dance, either ...

My sister wrote this in 2003

“How My Cat Taught Me About A Higher Power” By Cindy Persico Like most of us I struggle with the concept of “Higher Power” or H.P. and my understanding has grown thankfully over the years that on most days I can feel centered and well-cared for by this Higher Power thanks to Alanon. That isn’t always the case. In 2003 my brother-in-law was killed in a car accident. Watching my sister, Joy, struggle with her grief has been particularly painful and has called into question again how to make sense out of things that seem so senseless. What good can come from this? Hello, God, Are you still there? Will you take care of Joy? She’s so scared and sure this isn’t what should be happening at all. One day I had to take Eunice, my cat, to the vet. She shivered, and shook, and cried, certain this couldn’t possibly be what should be happening at all. I reassured her as best I could; yet again had a flash that this is exactly how life feels sometimes. I’m sure that whatever is happening is all wrong...

World’s Greatest Pranks

By Terri Rimmer Alan Abel’s pranks go back to the late 1950s with a widely reported bogus campaign to clothe horses. The slogan? “A nude horse is a rude horse.” Then there was the regular prank caller guy who starred on Howard Stern’s radio show when his format was free. This man used to call into telethons and talk shows pretending to be a source until he got his contact on the phone – then he released his prank with both barrels. The Jerky Boys came out with comedy tapes in the 90s called “Prank Calls” and followed them with sequels featuring numerous digits dialed to doctor’s offices, construction companies, and other service organizations pretending to be anyone from a patient to a job applicant among others. In 1996 Taco Bell allegedly announced they had bought the Liberty Bell much to the chagrin of politicians and the public and that they would be renaming it the Taco Liberty Bell. All a hoax. Last year a reporter squirted actor Tom Cruise in the face after pretending that he wa...
