I don't know if I'm coming or going. I met him while he was incarcerated did 14 months on that bid, had him home with me for 16 months then he went back in late January to max out. I don't know what forum I "belong" in anymore!!!

We haven't gotten the paperwork back but a very good source tells us his outdate is April 20th. If I've done the math correctly (that's debatable so maybe one of you math whizzes could check LOL) it looks like he'll be home with me in 55 days!!!

Here we go again,
Patty

Well congratulations!!! I knew you would be here soon. 55 days it will be here before you know it!!!

Woohoo. I'm so glad this is a short one for you two. Enjoy your countdown.

go patty! go patty!
And this time it's DONE!!! no more bloodsuckin DOC!!!

Thanks friends it will be so nice to be off paper we may even stick our toes in the next state just CUZ WE CAN!!! Unfortunately the next state is like uh Wisconsin LOL I don't mean to offend those from that state I just wish we were closer to the Bahamas or something!!! LOL

Patty

Congrats on starting a new countdown Patty! :thumbsup: I'm sooo happy that this is coming to an end for you two very, very soon.

Oh...don't forget to take your vitamins! :p :D

((((Hugs))))

Steph

Oh...don't forget to take your vitamins! :p :D Steph

LOL how could I not know that was coming, guess I better get to practicing what I preach, huh? The bottle is right beside me and I promise to try my best to remember to take one every day.

Hugggz and Thanks,
Patty

Congrats on being able to count down again!

Thanks LeaAnn!!!

Congrats!!

...congrats...happy for you to be counting down!

Congrats to you Patty! I hope your 55 days flies by.

congratulations on your count down. i know that feeling all to well. but i am a little confused on something. did i read a post the other day that you and sebastian split up or was I dreaming? Did I miss the post where you got back together? I didnt respond to the breaking up thread because i have seen you talk about him so much and knew the love you have for him and was too stunned and speechless to respond to the post. did i miss a reunion???

Thanks everybody!!!

hrtbrokenmom ~ You may have been reading my "True Life" thread in the Now That Your Loved One is Home forum, just guessing here although that had to do with his recent reincarceration. I put alot of stuff out there about our lives together because I think it is helpful for others to see the good the bad and the ugly if yanno what I mean. Sebastian and I have definitely had our ups and downs, I'm happy to say mostly "ups" but I was considering the possibility that our time may have come to an end but we worked through it and shortly after he went back to prison. I'm glad we are together so the only reunion we'll be having is him coming home where he belongs! Thanks for thinking of us...

Patty

congrats girl i am so happy that he will be home in april and paper free.. i cant wait til the day i countdown my husband home coming ..

Congratulations on his coming back home.... :)

Patty glad to see you have a final date, and something to count down to..you know it will go fast and I love a good count down...

Staci

Thanks everybody I'm so glad to have you all around me!!! I'm LUCKY to be among such friends.

Patty

Congrats to you both, may this time pass swiftly. Hey close the door and let your mind take you wherever you want to be, the Bahamas can be there at your home, after all its just a state of mind isn't it?? Throw some sand on the floor, get some rum runners to drink and play that island music woman, BAM you are in the Bahamas!! Enjoy yourselves.

Patty, don't you feel kind of like you're caught in "Ground Hog Day"?

Maybe this time is the time it finally comes out right.

Good Idea otra!!! I'll have to come up with some ideas

nimuay ~ Ground hog day!!! Yessssss uhoh now who's gonna be responsible for cleaning up the diet pepsi I just spit on the computer screen!!! LOLOLOL

Thanks to both of you,
Patty

Hey Patty:wave: Well, I was gonna tell you to take your vitamins:D but Steph already beat me too it!

48 and a wake-up!

Patty,

It's not as long as it has been and he'll be home before you know it. Can't wait until you share your Sunday dinner with us again. Since my friend is home, I might have to steal/borrow some of your menus. :-) I'm waiting on that cook book of Patty & Sebestian's Sunday Love Meals. :-)

Best wishes and congratulations.

Hey Patty!! 48 days now. :D how ya doing? Oh and I'm with Thunder..I need me a cook book! ;) :yes: love ya!

48 days and a wake up girl!! This time is gonna fly and you and Sebastian can be done with this ish!!

Thanks to all of you for hangin' with me I have THE BEST FRIENDS here at PTO, I couldn't ask for more!!!

Hey thunder you might have hit on something. If Sebastian has a difficult time finding a job I might just have to write that cookbook and have him sell it for me, of course since it was YOUR idea you could pitch my dream cooking show to the food network for a percentage of the profits of course!!! Have your people call my people, wait I've got to get people, oy vey!!!

I love you all,
Patty

48 And A WAKE UP!!!! Almost Almost Almost!

48days and a wake up??? On My! It's almost here. Isn't this exciting?? Hang in there.

It's very exciting now if I could just be certain that this is the last time we're gonna do this grrrr! I have faith but I'm also realistic, we'll just have to see how this plays out. One things for sure, I LOVE HIM AND HE LOVES ME, we have accomplished alot but we got a ways to go...

Bring it on, I'm ready,
Patty

47 days and a wake up :D Hang in their it's winding down :D :yes:

Oh I'm hangin' in there as happy as I will be to see him I feel pretty calm. Infact a little too calm, LOL I'll probably freak out at the last minute...

Patty

Hey Patty:D 47 and a wake up:yay::dance: It's coming soon girl!! I'm STILL calm (well, as calm as I get lol) too...so I'm with you that it'll probably hit LAST minute:eek: Keep your head up!! You and Sebastain are gonna be fine! Hugs:p

-Jackie

Funny, I just bought more vitamins today at the SuperWalmart!!! Don't wanna run out of the little suckers, LOL. I'm doing good, feeling better and looking forward to him coming home. We just got off the phone, he asked,"How's the PTO girls?" I told him you are all fine and keepin' me company. He likes that.

Thanks everybody,
Patty

Hey Patty!! 46 days left!!! Almost halfway through the 40's!!

45 days now!!! Glad to hear you are feeling better!!! :thumbsup:

It's coming that's for sure. I have to say I hate Sundays without him that was always a special day of the week for us, I can't wait for the Sundays together to return.

Patty

Hey Patty:) Glad you bought more vitamins:thumbsup: lol. I'm sorry that Sundays are hard for you:( I know that you guys always used to have a big dinner...but don't worry b/c theres not many more Sundays left time Sebastain is home again:) I'm glad your doing good!! :yay::dance: 45 days left!! :yes::fb: Keep your head up! Hugs:p
-Jackie

You know, once this is all said and done, you 2 will be more relieved then ever. No more DOC. No more only seeing him for short periods on Sundays. It will be SO wonderful for you both :) I'm happy you've finally made it this far.

You go girl :D

Stacy

I hope the days are going by quickly for you.

-Jackie

43 more days, almost to the 30's. Hang in there girl...its getting closer everyday!!:p

42 days and a wake up!! :D glad to see your staying claim maybe you can give the rest of us some tips on how to stay claim lol :thumbsup:

Thanks everybody. Tips on staying calm hmmm I dunno I met him while he was incarcerated did 14 months with him, then we were together 16 months in the freeworld and now we are doing about a total of 3 months this go round. It's a crap shoot and maybe I'll feel differently as things get closer, I was more excited a few weeks ago when we "got the date" now that we do I'm getting used to the idea and waiting to see how my emotions play out this time around, it's a little bit weird. Glad to have y'all with me to talk about it though...

Patty

41 days!! I know what you are talking about the newness is kinda wearing off. I just know in 29 days I will have piece of mind.

Patty, you are down to 40 days!!! Look out here comes the 30's and then is it all down hill... Good luck and take those vitamins... :D Kat

40 days Patty!! Tomorrow your in the 30's:) I think you'll do just great with emotions this time around.

just wanted to stop in and nag a certain someone about those vitamins! LOL Patty just a little over a month now, mmmmmmmmmmhmmmmmmmmm...

Indeed! Now if only I could get my age to go the same way as the countdown that would be a nice trick. Of course I'm chokin' down these damn vitamins, I'd be afraid what y'all might do to me if I didn't!!!

Hugggz,
Patty

whoa hon! every day of that experience just makes us better at what we do, riiiiiight? would you wanna be 20 agin? not me!!! (wouldn't mind having that torso back though LOL)

LOL haswtch okay you've got a point, Sebastian may know a thing or two but he definitely could not have handled me at 20!!! LMAO, I'm about 9 months younger than his mother and he's about 9 months older than my daughter, I'd just like to be a full year younger than his mother LOLOL

Patty

*ATTENTION* LOL do I have your attention? Listen, friends Sebastian went to see his counselor today, his paperwork has changed and they are taking 90 days from him, why? Because they can! Don't stress it, we aren't because we know that things happen for a reason and we been too strong for too long. Nothing's gonna get us down. New MAX OUT date: July 16 2006 We think it is highly appropriate that his outdate is on a Sunday! Thanks to everybody for being here with me.

Hugggz,
Patty

Thanks Jackie ~ I just got off the phone with him, we talked for a bit then we called his mama and talked some more, nothing has really changed. Well the date has changed but it seems like the more they throw at us the stronger we get, the best thing out of all of this is that he'll be coming home "off paper" and those words are music to our ears!

Patty

thanks Shay ~ Your day will come and we'll be right here for ya...

Hugggz,
Patty

Keep growing girl...you guys have a VERY STRONG relationship...if you guys can't make it, then I don't know who can:shake:;) Being OFF PAPER is very nice!!!:yes: Dave will be off paper too:) so I'm happy about that one! Keep your head up! Hugs:p
