That is so hard! I might actually pick 11 years old... that was a really great time in my life. Absolutely NOTHING between about 14-22. 25 would be ok, except that I still weighed 400 pounds and although life was good, I was in college having a great time, my weight was pretty miserable.

If I could pick any day i would go back to the day Stella was born. That was the best day in my entire life. Hands down.

Off that topic, I had a really great job interview yesterday for part time evening work at a local hospital. I hope I get it! We really really really need the money, and it seems like a really great place to work!

On of my classes was like that - you had to do 3 mini-lectures (15 minutes) followed by student Q & A, and then one 30 minute lecture followed by discussion and student Q & A... I actually really loved it, but then again, I have always wanted to be a college professor.

I think for me it would be 8. We lived in upstate New York and I rode my bike to my friends house and we played house in the woods and walked by the creek. Just a carefree time.

I had my first class last night. It was really an eye opening class on the dynamics of how a school media center works. But wow...what a LOT of work. I have to give a 2 HOUR presentation to the class. This time includes a question/answer session from my fellow class-mates, but holy crap. I have to *pretend* that I am giving an in-service lecture to other media specialists. Wish me luck. I'm going to need it. Thankfully I have NO fear of public speaking.

I, along with 2 other people did an 8-hr training session on statistics to a group of about 30 of our peers.
It isn't easy keeping such a dry subject interesting for so long, but we had a great time due to the class being so irreverent and relaxed.
Hopefully your audience will be as good as ours was.

Hey Jenny, good luck on the class, you will do great!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH!! hope you have a wonderful day and that you come back to a clean house!!!
Sorry about DH's numbness, is he taking any medication for the MS??

I would go back to 5 years old, or to 28... I was working, no worries, I traveled a lot and slept around a lot :shock: :lol: :oops:

...hmmm...let's see, my mom was an incredible snob and managed to alienate all the family's around us, so none of us had friends in the neighbourhood to hang with- it was more like walking the gauntlet to go to school every day, so public school years are out...
...my mom got cancer and passed away in high school, so I wouldn't want to relive those years...
...I fell in love, got engaged, he fooled around on me and ditched me for her, then I found out I was pregnant when I was in my 20's. Strangely enough, I look back at this time with fondness. I wouldn't change any second that led up to me having dd.
If I HAD to go back, (because honestly I love my life right now), I would go back to being 30. The single years after I had my dd were the best I can remember having. Very little strife and so much fun.

Dh is on avonex for the MS...its a weekly shot

God i dont know what age i would want to go back to..hmmm maybe the day i met DH..it was so goofy, collegeish and fun..we were at my apartment i didnt know him..we watched each other all night and than i was sittin on the table and all of a sudden we were kissing..than he asked me where my room was and well he never left :lol: :oops: yeah i was a whore :lol:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

but i would also love to go back to the day my Cy was born..it was so long ago (7 years) i know not very long but so much has happened since it gets hard to remember the details..

Crunchymomto3

08-29-2007, 01:23 PM

Wow...good question about what age...

I think I'd go back to 32 when I found out I was pregnant with Haley and make better efforts to have had a homebirth with her. At the time I didn't even realize that was an option for me.

As far as childhood age, I think I'd go back to when I was 8. I loved looking for crawfish in our river :)

There is no legal obligation for an eligible voter to vote in an election in the United States. Is the decision to vote or not to vote a moral decision? Explain

your thoughts? its for a class of mine..

I am going to answer now before those smarty pants professors beat me to it! 8) :P :wink:

I would think it has nothing to do with one's 'morals' if they choose to vote or not to vote, I would think it is just plain personal choice, with no moral implications whatsoever....

newmami

08-29-2007, 02:34 PM

I don't think voting is a moral issue, it is your option/right as a citizen to decide who will represent and govern you.
I don't think you are doing wrong by not voting... but if you don't vote, then you don't have the right to complain!! :P

HEY TRACY!!!

Crunchymomto3

08-29-2007, 02:43 PM

I vote in every election; local, state and federal. Is it fun to wait in lines with 3 kids. NOPE! But it is my MORAL duty as a citizen of the United States to voice my opinion on who I want representing me. Do my canidates always win. Heck no. But at least I can feel that I did my moral and ethical duty by casting my ballot. Now, I do think that more people would vote if it were easier. With our last national election, I voted by absentee ballot and man, that was EASY.

But I also feel that it is my moral duty to KNOW the issues at hand and where each canidate stands. I'm not going to go in and just bubble (punch, push a button whatever) anyone's name just because I like the way it sounds or looks on paper.

Voters have a moral and ethical duty to themselves and other citizens to become educated and empowered on the issues.

DIVADLX

08-29-2007, 03:17 PM

I started to answer, but it was way too long... it is a complex question I think that has a lot of different layers to it. It also totally depends on your definition of Morality and how that extends to civic duty.

I was getting ready to rescue this one!!
How was the long weekend??? we had fun except for the weather, went to Sea World on Sunday and it was MISERABLE!!

but yesterday I got the pool out for Dani & Chris, and we had a fun time. DH was out most of the day, so I was happy....

And I came to the realization that I don't like being married :shock: ... I am too independent to be married.... oh well..........
And I am upset with DH because he gets all worked up when the kids are not being nice, and instead of helping he gets upset and lets me take care of everything, while he keeps his fed up face :?
I went to Costco with Dani to get formula, Chris was this close to be sleeping... he woke up and was crying, and DH got upset about it :roll: . So next time I am taking both of them so he doesn't have to deal with his son :evil: ... it annoys me that DH is ok ONLY when the kids are happy, and only if he has to deal with them for like 15 min... I know he has TONS of issues with Chris and Chris can sense that,... he ALWAYS cries if he is alone with DH and I am not around (he doesn't do this at daycare, so I know it is DH)

Anyways... YAY for a short week!

sarahlynn

09-04-2007, 10:40 AM

Oh chicki..i am sorry your still feelin the marrige blues..darn it.. :(

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

so this weekend..well last week i was outside cleaning up the yard with lucea and a couple of girls walk by with a guy and a baby in a stroller..they stop on the sidewalk and day "can we bum a cigarette" well i dont smoke so i tell them "sorry nope dont smoke and go back to what i am doing" ok thats that they walk on, looking elsewhere for some

well sat night about 10:30 who knocks at my door but one of the chicks..she asks DH for 4 diapers..so he gives them to her..fine whatever..still its 10:30 at night.. :? so i talk to DH and say umm i dont mind helping out when a baby is involved but it could get out of hand and i dont want knocks on the door when i am home alone at night with the kids..

so Sunday night yes again 10:00 at night i hear a knock on the door..DH answers i am in the computer room..i walk out and he sayd it was them again wanted one more diaper..i hear the girl say "we got our checks on the 1st but couldnt cash them yet" :x I WORK HARD FOR MY MONEY **** IT AND WE STRUGGLE AT TIME TO BUY DIAPERS..so i was slightly irritated..mainly because it was 10:00 a night and you can ttell me they didnt think the baby would need a diaper before 10:00 ya know..that rude to me..and **** it like my dad said you make a diaper..we had to wear dish towls at time as babies cause my parents could afford diapers..

i felt bad and told DH i felt bad for being a little upset with them.. :( i mean i would never not help when a baby is involved..but they just caught me as like UMM YOU SHOUDL HELP US ya know..like it was not big deal to them at all..like we didnt have to pay for our diapres ya know..just pulled them off the diaper tree :roll:

i feel so dumb for lettinthis bother me so much..but i am home alone every night with the kids when DH works..and i dont want knocks at my door late at night..cause i wont answer them if i dont knwo whats going on

ok needed to vent a bit i gues..

how was everyones weekend..i worked fri sat and sun but had mon off..lucea was a bear so me and cy ditched lucea and DH mon night and went to the waterpark..spend a few hours on the lazy river hanign out in the tubes..cy was thrilled cause he can swim now so he had a blast..unfortunetely summer is over and it closed down mon night :( made me sad summer is over alerady

newmami

09-04-2007, 10:49 AM

We didn't got the memo that summer is over... it is still too hot here

Sarah, I would have been upset too, seems to me those kids are abusing you, seeing that you have a baby.... time to make them stop using you as the free store!!

So Dh wants me to take care of finding a sitter for Sep 15, so we can go out for our anniversary... I don't want to leave the kids, so I was thinking telling him the girl is booked already :twisted: .... but he will hate me forever!!

Oh well, I will call the girl today and see what happens

willsmama

09-04-2007, 10:53 AM

I get sick of being the one to "find the sitter" I told DH for the next "event" he has to find one...even though I know he'll call MY friends... :roll:

We went to the Minnesota State Fair this weekend, it was HOT....poor Willser was sweating to death in his stroller. :( He did pretty well though.

Yesterday I got mad at DH because since he got up with Will in the morning I guess that equated to him being "free" of Will for the rest of the day...well, I am sorry, that isn't really fair....I'd like to get some stuff done too! Argh....

Poor Will and the hot weather..we had such nice weather there on our weekend..but the fair is all out inthe open isnt it? yuck i hate the heat..it was up in the 90's here this weekend. I turned the air on and kept cool. but lucea watned to be out inthe pool so i had to oblige and treck out in th heat with her..DH spent tons of time on mon in the garage working on a friend bike..so thast why i ditched him that night to go to the waterpark..HA you deal with cranky lulu..

Sarah you have every right to be upset with this free loading neighbour! I don't answer the door after 8 at night whether I'm alone or not...I always think about house invasions, you know?
You need to either
A) ignore the door the next time she calls OR
B) invite her to spill her story and see if you know other avenues that will be able to help her OR
C) Buy her a pkg of diapers and tell her the next ones aren't free.

I understand that you want to help where children are involved, but you can be darn sure they aren't going to go without cigarettes when you are buying the diapers...meh, maybe I'm just completely uncharitable...

2 I got my dogs back!!! Wahooo!!! One of them is great just really in need of a good meal the other one not so great. The pads of her feet have been cut off and she has burns all over her. She may lose sight in one eye.

May I come into this lovely thread that I sometimes neglect and whine a LOT?

First of all, this pregnancy has not been easy. Which I can take - I mean, my pregnancy with stella was so easy and perfect, that I was due a more difficult one. And even difficult for me is nothing compared to other women! But I am SO tired of being tired all day because I cannot find a comfortable position.

And on top of it, for 4 days now I have had the most annoying cold that since I am PG I am not comfortable taking anything for. Except copious amounts of fruit smoothie.

And today Stella is SUCH a pain in the butt. Seriously. Her sweatshirt is wrinkled - major melt down. The kitty looks at her wrong, her world ends. And I am running out of patience.

I just called about the job I interviewed for last week who told me they would be telling me by last Friday, and they said that I should start making tentative plans for childcare because really they just have to check my references. Childcare for training - not for-ever. But jeez louise, they couldn't call me on Friday and tell me they weren't going to make their decision? All weekend I was making other plans.

I am SO ungrateful. I have gotten a really great job, my child is healthy, my unborn child is happily swimming around, its payday week... why do I think I have the right to whine?

newmami

09-04-2007, 01:13 PM

My dear Jenn, we ALL have the right to complain, is one of those devine rights that one has just because... and this is always the right place to come and whine
Sorry about the bad PG.... I hear you because I was in the same situation, the second one was challenging.... it will be over soon!!! and I hope miss Stella drops the drama queen crown soon!!

Pam, woo hoo that you found your dogs, but :evil: to the person who hurt one of them... how can people be so rude to dogs???

Lynn, our DH must be wired, because I can totally see tht suggestion coming up today :roll:

So I am weaning of the Zoloft and decided to add some multivitamins and flaxseed oil pills to my life... and today I have the head ache from h#ll :? I had a healthy lunch, so I hope it was just hunger

And regardless of what DH thinks, I am going to make healthier food decisions... this Friday I am off with the kids (daycare closed) so I am going to Whole Foods to get some flaxseeds for the kids

If you don't have much to do, wanna see pictures of my kiddos???

Can I just whine for a minute? Sorry for not responding to everyone, but I did read and you have the right not to reply to this since I didn't reply to yours. (Wow, talk about a run-on sentence)

So, this weekend DH said more than once, "All you ever do/want to do is sleep." :shock: :x :shock: Where the heck did he get that from?!?! When do I ever sleep more than usual? I work M-F 8:00-5:00, come home and take care of Chris until DH gets off at 6:30-7:30 (it varies) and make dinner and do dishes. Then on the weekend, 9 times out of 10 DH is working on his flipping car, so me and Chris go hang out with my brother and sister at my dad's house. Then we do have Sunday as family day and I let DH wake up with Chris, but DH is a total morning person and I wake up within an hour of them waking up. I just don't get where he got that from and it royally pissed me off. :x You can be sure that I told him so too! Yes, I do like to nap with Chris on the weekend, I will admit to that. But that's not an everyday thing, plus I like the snuggles I get out of that. Ugh, that just chapped my hide! (opps, I think the Texan in me is coming out :lol: ) Thanks for reading. Dang DH...

Jumping back in here. I have some reading to do to catch up.

Claudia Dani and Chris are too cute. I still have Chris's annocement on my fridge and everyone oohhss and aaahhhs over him.

Jenn, Whine away!!!! Congrats on oyur job. I didn't know you interviewed or even what for. Man I am lost these days. Poor sweet Stella. Is she getting sick also? Since you are having a hard time Nanu must be that boy!!!!

Pam, how aweful that they did that to your doggies.

Sarah i was just thinking about your DH. Glad to hear his MS is doing well. I seen a special for them raising money for MS last night.

Hi Gals!

I'm so sorry I've been MIA....but I do come in and read, mainly to stay caught up as much as possible, but I just don't have much time these days.

Jenn, so sorry to hear this pg isn't as easy as Stella's. We all have to complain from time to time. I can't think of a better place than this.

Sarah, your pot pie actually sounds good! I was craving McDonald's, so what do I do, pack up Amanda and head ofer there. How pathetic.

Claudia, Dani and Chris are so cute! I can't believe how fast Chris is growing. And I would go ahead and find a babysitter, it might turn into a good night!

Lynn, so glad your weekend was good. Little Katelyn is just cuter everyday!!!

Pam, I'm so very sorry about your dogs. It's great that you found them, but what someone did to them makes me cry.

Me and Amanda are doing great. I'm taking too many classes (19 hours plus 30 hours a week in work) just to get it done with and start student teaching in January. Thus, my absence from this place. But, it will totally be worth it come this time next year and the following summer....I'm dreaming of lounging at the pool with my daughter and the paychecks still being deposited in the checking account. Can't get much better than that!

I miss you girls!

I have class tonight and will be leaving soon...dh leaves work at 3:45 to come home so I can leave.

Pam, how horrible that someone did that to your dogs!! OMG...how awful!

Jenn....I hope you feel better soon!! I had 2 horrible pregancies with Haley & Ella and Ronin was a breeze. Maybe it's a sign that you are having a boy since your pregnancies are so different.

Candice...MEN! Sleep all the time.....grrrrr...

Sarah...what are pink pennies??

Lynn....glad you got extra time with your sweet baby girl and your older kids were able to entertain themselves and give you a break from the fighting!!

Did I catch up??

sarahlynn

09-04-2007, 02:44 PM

Jenn, yeah like we all never ever vent around here..pregnancy brings on so so so many things you have every right to be stressed and vent a bit.

Pam, OMG about your dogs i must have missed something i never knew they were missing..i am so happy they are back in good hands..

I think i just need to become ok with the fact that i am never going to have a sex life again..thats pretty sad for someone who is 29..but its just no there anymore..what the hell anyways..when i am in the mood DH isnt home or is not and when he is i am passed out and sleeping OH WAIT DH IS NEVER INTHE MOOD :x its like nothing is there anymore..i want it back darn it

Hey Candice, men just have this need to whine and complain for the smallest things... let him take care of Chris one day, then he will understand WHY you need to rest!!! :roll:

Hey Kelly!! nice to see you around!! hope the school year goes by fast, so you can spend more time with Manda!

Jenny, your DH needs to have a talk with mine and tell him that it is OK to be nice to your wife from time to time, and not expect her to take care of everything.... and that mom needs to play with the kids!

Thanks for the compliments!! I think Chris was upset when I took him out of the pool... hence the picture in the towel :lol:

Ok ladies need some info if anyone knows. My condo is up for sale. This woman wants to Lease to Purchase. She wants us out by the end of the month but that is all she has really said. Other then things she wants to do to the condo but no way am I paying for that. Anyone know anything about leasing to own???? I just feel I am going to get screwed here. She wants to use a lawyer instead of my agent.

Momto3

09-05-2007, 07:23 AM

Is your agent advising you at all on this Tracy? I've never done lease to own but I've heard of it. A good way with people with no money to put down to buy a place.

One thing I can tell you is have your own representation! Do NOT rely on someone representing her!!!

Wow alot happened in here last night. I read everything.

Kelley...I want the paycheck for laying by the pool too!

Tracy... all I know about it is by watching my mom and dad. They done this with one of there homes. A family moved in and then after about a year stopped paying. My parents had to go through the courts to get them out of the house and then the house was a wreck when they got it back. It didn't work out so hot for them. :roll:

09-05-2007, 01:22 PM

Yeah, I figure I'll want another, (will is only 5.5 months) but I had sooo many complications and DH has another kid, so we can't afford one. I would go on BC if my dr. would let me, but due to my clotting issues, it is IUD or nothing, and "TOO MANY" people get prego on the IUD to make me feel safe.

We'd for sure have to wait until Will was in Kindergarten before we'd have another! Daycare is too pricey!

Ugh! So yesterday was my 16.5 y/o dd's appointment at the gynocologist! They put her on Yaz for a 3 day period and to help her acne. Talk about bitter sweet. My baby is growing up!

Oh and being in my gyno's office brought back a flood of memories of going there while pregnant with Katelyn that I asked at the desk about tubal reversal. The doc was around and she advised that IVF has a better rate of success. Yeah if I only had $13,000 to do that! So I went home and watched all the baby stories on discovery channel! :(

09-06-2007, 08:45 AM

:shock: Lynn, taking your DD to the OB.... they just grow too fast.
Sorry about the baby itch.... I do the same when I get it, Baby story is my best therapy :oops:

So Chris walked up at 3:30 am to eat. DH was feeding him, and I started feeling this sharp pain in my lower abdomen... went to the bathroom thinking it was just gas, and I got dizzy, sweaty and ready to pass out, and the pain was still there, so we packed the kids and went to the ER.... everything is fine, apparently I hurt a nerve and that is why the sharp pains, so the doctor told me it was just gas.... :oops: I feel like a total idiot, but the pain was unbearable, and it was on my c/s scar...
Anyways, came back home at 6, got into the shower and came to work... kids are tired, mommy is falling asleep in the desk... it is going to be a LOOOONG day :? :zz:

STOP!!!!!!!!!!! ok :oops: thats what happened when iwas preggo with cy..

it is the mirror situation

CY ~ we decided to have a baby so i got off the pill
Lucea ~ i got moody on the mini pill and quit taking it

CY ~ after a few weeks i panicked and got back on the pill thinking we were nuts..
Lucea ~ After a month off BC and two times BDing P&P method i panicked and got back on the mini pill

CY ~ i got AF adn than a few weeks later i spotted for 2-3 days..missed next period and it clicked what was going on.
Lucea ~ got AF and than spotted for 1 day..i still have weeks before a missed real period so it hasnt clicked and i still dotn think i am pregnant :lol:

so both situatins are very similar for me..btu i just dotn think it am knocked up and besides its to early to tellso i would have to wait a few weeks before testing..dont get me wrong ladies i would love another baby..but we have a 3 bedroom house..not much room for more persons :lol: and with my sister trying i woudl be so sad if i ended up pregnatn when she is struggelign ya know..guilty :cry:

I couldn't live without cheese and crackers and fresh fruit.

Poor little Morgan. They really need to find a different name for that affliction. It sounds like something a horse gets, not a cute beautiful little baby girl.

My daughter walks around the house, and will just out of the blue start shouting the word OUTRAGEOUS!

It cracks me up.

Plans for the vacation...um... clean house! LOL

I found out where Morgan got "foot and mouth" (I do agree it sounds like some thing a horse would have :roll: ) a little boy in nursery had it and the lady was not watching and left all the cups down and well the kids just used a community cup! :evil: I had a meeting with all of our workers yesterday and put some strong rules in place about food and drinks! Some of my Nursery workers seem to only have 1/2 a brain!

I posted in toddlers but no one reads that.

Katelyn had her 15 month check up and she only grew a quarter inch taller and she didn't gain any weight in 3 months. :shock: The doc wants to see her back in a month. She said it wasn't "failure to thrive" because she grew the quarter inch but was concerned. She certainly isn't malnutritioned and she isn't skinny by any means. I don't get it. :(

Lynn, I know its hard but don't worry to much Morgan did this too and she has now just about cought up with other kids her age. She is still a little on the small side but not as bad. She went 3 months where she didn't gain any inches and also lost almost 1 1/2 lbs.

Sarah, congrats on the two new family memebers I have been debaiting getting two myself but... I have heard birds can be so messy. :roll:

09-10-2007, 11:07 AM

Hey Lynn, I responded on toddlers, I would not worry too much, I am sure she is healthy, just a little too active

Pam, sorry about Morgan :( I hope she is feeling better and that she is able to eat now. If not, have you tried those pediasure?? They are liquid and have vitamins and minerals

So Friday I stayed home with the kids (closed daycare) we went to the supermarket and had tons of fun. They are well behaved when they are with me :wink: . We napped together all weekend, it was awesome
DH was a d*ck and got into one of his moods, and decided to take it on Dani, so all Saturday morning he decided to yell at her, while my guts wer cringing :evil: . Sunday I just told him "Could you please stop yelling at her?", because I couldn't take it anymore. God I need him OUT of my house on the weekends!!!

I found a babysitter, a wonderful one... she went to my house on Saturday for an interview, Dani was playing with her.... bittersweet because now DH wants to go out every month.... UGH!!!

We took Dani to the pool, she was holding onto the stairs and moving her legs.... sooo cute!! Chris liked the pool as well :D

So next weekend DH is going on Sunday to fly his stupid RC Helicopter... THANK GOD!! I can spend the morning with the kids (I may go out and have breakfast with them). His stupid hobby is annoying me, all he talks about is helicopters, my dinning room table is constantly full of his crap, and he spends all this money (ok, his travel reimbursements) on the stupid helicopters, and gives me grief because I spend money on the kids (last time I check, formula and diapers are a necessity, and maybe if he would have support me BF better, I would not have to buy formula)

Basically I am back on wanting to be single........ I don't see this getting better... I am not happy with him and have no interest in being happy with him, all I care about are my precious kids and being there for them

My heart breaks for Dani. Who could yell at such a precious child. I'm sorry you want to be single. I wish you happiness!

Sarah - Congrats on the expanding family! Katelyn loves looking at them when we go to the store to buy dog food. Also she went into hysterics laughing cuz she touched a kitty's tail.

Welll can i vent once again and maybe cry a bit :roll: :cry:

DH woke up sat with more numbness :( his hands this time and arms are all messed up..he spent all weekend with a terrible headache..he called his neurologist this morn and they did bloodwork to seeif he had a cold.virus or something that could be effecting his body..i guess with MS any cold or illness can give you the MS symptoms ya know..since its an immune system disease..but they all came back negative which means its a real exaserbation and he heads up to the hosptial at 1:00 for another round of IV steroids.. :( this will be the 3rd time in 9 months since the start of this all..i really really thougth that after this eye issue we would get break for awhile..DH seemed so bummed htis morning i could jsut see it..he stgruggled to walk again and pick up lucea :( i guess this for sure means he wont be gettin that other day job..DARN IT..i just cried all the way to work this morning..one step forward and 3 back :x

Oh Sarah!! I am so sorry about your DH... that is the terrible thing about MS, it hits when you least expect it. I hope the steroids help him feel better, and that the headaches and numbness goes away

HUGS TO YOU!!

Funny thing about DH is that he gets upset if I raise my voice to his son.... well, to avoid those comfrontations, I have NOTHING to do with his son anymore

I always wanted my kids to have a dad like mine, one who plays with you, who takes the time to be with you... DH believes being a parent means spending 20 min out of your day to "play" with the kids... I keep wondering what am I doing with him???? he is an absent dad just like his dad was.... the only thing that makes me stay with him is the fact that I would NEVER allow him to do to my kids what he is doing to his.... let him stay on his room all day idiotized on the TV or videogames, allow him to eat CRAP because you are too busy to teach him good habits..... OMG!! I rather stay and be miserable than put my precious kids in that position!!

I like you have a GREAT dad and wanted the same for Morgan and then Grant ran and did his 12 year old porn star thing :roll: and I lost that hope for her. I have realized since then though that my Dad has stood up and became the male role modle in her life along with some really good men in church. I don't think she is missing a thing now and I know we are both blessed to have all of EX DH's crap out of our life. I know our situation is diff. but... I want you and the kids to be happy!

I love my dad as well, he is a great father. I cant remember exactly what he was like when i was little :lol: of course but now he is amazing and i am so lucky to have him. I hope that someday matt is to his kids what my dad is to me today. When Matt was awy from us for those 4 years my dad, brother in law and friends steped in and became great male figures in Cys life, he wassuper lucky to have them all. And even today they play a huge role for him a long with DH..

Speaking of which DH just called, they are shootin him up right now but his doc ordered a CAT scan because of the bad headaches that came along with the MS symptoms. :(

Sarah - I am so sorry about all this. It must be so frustrating to see him go through this. I get angry for you sometimes because he is so young and despite any flaws, he is a good man and a good dad... why can't this happen to someone horrible instead?

If its not too personal - where'd he go for 4 years? Just ignore it if it is too personal...

Claudia - man, it sucks to not only be unhappy, but to watch someone not be everything to your kids that you think they should be. And boy, if DH ever yelled at Stella, he better believe he'd be eating his liver for dinner. You had ever right to correct him!

Does your DH realize that he sucks as a dad? I mean, if he had a sucky dad, he had no one to learn from - does it at least seem like he is trying to learn how to be a good one? You know though, my DH had NO dad at all, and yet his love of Stella drives his desire to play with her and be with her, so I am not sure how else to understand your DH's behavior...

Hey everyone.

Lynn, I just read about Katelyn's dr appt. Don't worry I am sure she is more active since she is walking/running all the time. Katie only gained a pound and I am not sure how much she grew but my little chub-chub is still in the 60% on weight.

Sarah I am so sorry DH had a relapse. I hope after this spell he gpoes years without another one. And congrats on the birds. How are they doing? Where are pics of your new family members.
I got new family members also.... fish. A friend moved to NY and asked me to take them. I have had them a week and one died yesterday. :? Katie loves them but I'm afarid they will all die. The couple had them for several years and I guess the change is not helpful.

Claudia, I hate you are so unhappy. And if my DH fusses at Katie or Dylan he will catch an earful. Now if the kids did something wrong and he says something then fine but anything else then he catchs so much worse then he was dishing out. I know that is bad of me but I stay home, I raise them, I do everything so I feel if they need disiplined then it is my job not his.

Well my Lease to own lady has not called in a week so I guess 650 for rent scared her off. Normal rent is 700 around here. Oh well I guess its for the best.

the more the merrier in here :D

Hmm to make a long story shorts about DH's whereabouts. A year after we had cy, he got restless, felt he was going nowhere wasnt making money, and decided he needed to back home to iowa. So i was not going ot go with him because my family was in MN, DH hadnt been much help with cy, he still hadnt slowed down from the college partier i had met a year earlier..so i told him that if he felt leaving was the best thing for him than he needed to go...we stayed together for some time but the long distance thing just didtn go well for either of us..about 4 months after he left my sister asked me to move up to ND with her and her husband..so me and cy packed up and came here..DH (not DH at the time) visited off and on and played well a minor role in our lives and one christmas he came up to visit and one thing led to another and he never left again..we were married 7 months later..

so he left because he thoguth it was what was best for him at the time..and i refused to beg someone to stay..

no speaking of DH I WANT TO STRANGLE HIM!!! he stayedhome from work because of the numbness which is perfectly fine.but i get the kids hoem from piano and we are all aroudn and what does he do but turn on the flippin x-box..hello you get an extra nght to spend with your kids and on goes the video game so he is all pissy at me for being pissy at him :lol: i think its bedtime ladies :roll:

DIVADLX

09-11-2007, 01:54 AM

X-BOX!!!! Arg! Before DH and I were married I made it very clear that there would be nothing more than maybe a handheld - like a gameboy - in our house. The other night, now that he is having a son - he asks me sheepishly... "So will we be able to get one now?"

My response. HE!! NO. He will never never never win this one. I hate video games with a passion, so I understand your pissiness!

Then I went on a tirade about how he need to watch out for all these "boy" things he wants to do with his son when he has a perfectly good daughter to do them with too.

But then again, I have realized that I have surprising gender lines too. Stella has always loved those cloth smiley faced flowers... so they are all around her crib. And they used to be on her changing table. Seriously, she would be crying and I would put her on her changing table and she would stop and smile because she was so happy to see the "flower friends." Anyway, so I was plotting the boy thing and thought "I'll need something other than the lavender sheet and I'll just take the flowers off..." And realized there really was no reason to do either. If the flowers made Stella that happy, maybe they will make Nanu that happy too, so it would be so sad to take that away from him!

Sarah this could be his way of coping with his illness- to distance himself from all reality and lose himself in fantasy so he doesn't have to think about what is happening to him. Just a thought...
A family member going through an incurable illness is hell on the whole family. Nobody gets through it without some scars. :cry:

DH use to play the game systems. He does not care for them anymore, I guess he grew out of them but I did set limits when we got married. He had his time and I had mine. To me it is no different then me reading a book. I can get so lost in my book and I ignore everyone. So before Katie he would have his game time and I would go to my room and read or whatever I wanted to do. I also did not let it take from Dylan. But I will say Dylan and Drew(dh) bonded over games and sports. They have nothing to do with each other until foortball and college basketball season then they are tight. Not that it was right that this is all they do together but with step-dads and step-kids I will take what I can get.
Also Dylan is not a game person either, he would rather be outside then sitting in front of the tv. Which is a big change from when he was little. He said he is gamed out and there is nothing on tv these days. I am so happy he has finally gotten it all out of his system.
Sarah, can you talk to Matt and set limits?

09-11-2007, 10:04 AM

Well DH is pretty much 90% numb now :( he is not gonna be able to work again..he was off for 6 weeks the first bout he had and i am guessing it will be about the same..which means cut in pay..i think temp disablity will give him 60% of what he makes..which is better than nothing..ugh i sat at work again and cried this morning..i am usualy the strong and positive one and i feel like i am loosing that.... thats so not like me..DH mom called me this morning and she is gonna come visit in a week so that will be nice..only for 3 days but its help and i knwo she wants to see him and the kids..

Then I went on a tirade about how he need to watch out for all these "boy" things he wants to do with his son when he has a perfectly good daughter to do them with too.

lol DH already talks about takin lucea hunting :lol: and her havin cys dirth bike..poor cy when Dh asks him about hunting cy says " i dont want to kill nature" :roll: :lol: ah huh sure Cy ya little angel

DH is really good with the x-box but i think him and cy use it to much to bond ya know..its just an easy way for DH to say he is spending time with cy..soi need to put my food down wiht this on weekends..cy is not allowed to play on school days and he is limited on weekends..

Oh my goodness Sarah! I am so sorry about DH!! HUGS TO YOU!!!
Now to business, can you agree for him to play x amount of hours/week on the xbox? that way he has his time and you don't have to get upset about it

Jenn, I also thought about the boy Vs girl things, but the fact that Dani LOVES cars made me think twice. I would let them be whatever they want, if Dani wants to play soccer and Chris wants to do ballet, I would support them. It bothers me to think that they will do different activities, as I hope they can be good siblings and play together.
So if Nanu likes the flowers, I would say leave them there... maybe he would be a Biologist!!! :wink:

To prove my point, Chris has a purple bumbo!!

Still I will keep them away from the videogames because I HATE them, they are a waste of time and make people lazy!!! DH's son is 9 and he cannot hold a coherent conversation because his brain only process videogames and Spongebob :roll: Then I see Dani who has a HUGE imagination and loves to play pretend... I know they are better off without the TV!! (and Dani does watch TV, but only Dora and Diego and no more than 1 hr)

i grew up wiht a nintendo so they dont really bother me to much in the house..but everything in moderation, when its nice out side cy is gone all day playin outside, he loves to ride bike be with friends and imagination play..so i dont worry about him as far as being a video game zombie :lol: but i have seen some grown men who are total video games junkie and its sad..my GF's ex husband was a computer junkie they had 4 kids and he was alway son there playin games and crap..i think i am gonna talk to DH tonight..if he wants to play x-box week nights since he will morethan likely behome now when we are (he usualy works 2nd shift so he wasnt home) he will have to wait till kids go to bed..

Sarah, his frustration must be enormous... I think in light of how awful this disease is you guys are actually doing pretty well! It just kills me though that this is happening to you guys... it may be hormones, but tears are being shed in Seattle for y'all...

Name - his name is Theo Kaare. Kaare was DH's grandfather and since DH never had a dad, Kaare came the closest to it. He died when DH was 10 and remains to this day, the worst event in his life. I actually think losing Kaare was worse for him than it will be when he loses his mother.

It is hard to write how it is pronounced... if you take the co sound from core, and lightly tap a "deh" at the end you've got it. It's Norwegian, hard to say, but so beautiful to us because of what it means.

If Nanu was a girl she was going to be Nina Alaine - Alaine a feminization of Alan, the uncle I just lost to cancer.

Ok girls time once again for me to whine.
Drews grandma said Monday that we do not need to move. Put the girls in Dylans room and put Dylan on the couch. :shock: :x I am still upset over this, I cry every morning after taking him to school. Of course it will never happen but Drews whole family is like this. Drews mom said a couple weeks ago that Dylan needs to move to his dads or to my moms.

Let me just say Drews (DH BTW) grandma is in a nursing home and has a 4 bedroom house just sitting there with 5 acres. She also has given each grandkid (not my kids) 200,000 in a bong when she dies. She has 5 grandkids. Not to mention what she pays the people who mow and clean her house. So she is not hurting. His mom and grandma on that side is the same, grandma on moms side is renting her 3 bedroom house to some strnagers after we asked to rent it because hse went and bought herslef a 200,000 condo. Now I am not wanting something handed to me but jeez why can't they let us rent to own one of these. Why do we need to stay in our 2 bedroom condo (with 5 of us) and want my son gone.
I told DH that the only person moving is him and he will be moving his rear out that door before my kid has to give naything up for his kids. :x :x

She also has given each grandkid (not my kids) 200,000 in a bong when she dies. . :x :x

Drew's g'ma has 5 bongs? :shock: Sorry just had to tease you! I am so sorry they are treating you and Dylan like this. I understand where you are coming from. You are right. There is no reason that you couldn't move in there and pay her some money to own it. It would be money coming in her pocket rather than going out. Such selfish people.

I was very fortunate that DH's Dad and step-mom (his real mom died before I met him) treat my kids like they are grandkids of theirs.

I am so friggin grouchy this week!

Tralynne that is awful! I don't know what I would do if dh's family didn't accept dd as their own, I really don't. No matter what, kids rule IMO.
I'd be the same as you- see ya, bye bye if it came to this. :(

Lynn, you and I sometimes have the same brain... I was like - man Tracy's grandma's into pot big time with all those bongs around!

Tracy - its so unfair. How can anyone know your sweet kids and still think to treat them that way? Well, you can buy about 6 months if you put a cosleeper in your room, and have Dylan and Katie share a room until you find another option.

Jeez, next think you know they will suggest he sleep in a tent outside.

I HATE unfair relatives. Tracy-just go "squat" (that is what they used to do to own land, right) on the property and call it your own!

My mom is also unfair. My sister has triplets and they ALWAYS ALWAYS take precedence in her life. FREE daycare, etc. My other sis and me totally get the shaft. Yeah, relatives suck sometimes.....

Sarah, I am so sorry about DH... I know with MS every day is a surprise! I hope the medication kicks in and he recovers the feeling. I am praying for him

Tracy, sorry your IL are being such buttheads... I don't see the damage on letting you PAY them to stay in their house... isn't it better when you know the tenant??? anyways, I hope with all my heart you find a solution.

I know how frustrating it is to think your babies won't have a place to sleep.... When Dani was born we lived in a 2 BD apartment, one for us, one for SK.... DH decided there was no way SK would share a room (even though he is home like 10 days/month) so Dani was sleeping in the den :x . Finally we moved to a house with 3 BD, and now Dani & Chris share a small room, while SK has the big room in the weekends.... I am upset beyond belief about this agreement, but I REFUSE to have my kids share a room with SK... I would work double shift so we can buy a house with 4 rooms... or divorce and get a 3 BD house for me and the kids....

I am starving ladies, and I have TONS of work to do... whoever took my motivation to work, could you please send it back to me???

Jumping in from out of nowhere again! :mrgreen: You said TX, WOOHOO!! You can totally stay at my house. But it might be confusing with 3 Chris' running around! :shock: DH is named Chris too and lemme tell you, it gets confusing with just 2!

Sarah, I'm sorry about Matt's relapse! :( Not being able to play X-box? Man, that's gotta be hard. (not being sarcastic) I will say prayers for him and I hope things get better for him. Hey, do ya'll have a Wal-mart near your house? Just asking...

Claudia, I'm sorry things with DH are going downhill again. Can't he get a freaking clue? Grrr, I want to come rip him a new one :x Your kids are just too darn precious! If you did get divorced, where would you live? He won't let you go back to Mexico will her?

Tracy, that is super infuriating about your in-laws! Of course you can't just kick Dylan to the curb! He's your baby too, just he's a big baby. :wink: I hope ya'll are able to get a bigger house so that the situation can resolve itself. Katie is so dang cute in your siggy BTW.

All this talk about bongs is making me giggle. But am I the only one that has never gotten high? I just never saw the appeal of drugs.

I never did drugs, but I was around them all the time growing up... nothing smokable because the thought of breathing in smoke revolts me, nothing up my nose because, well, that sounds like it would hurt, nothing injected because I am terrified of needles, nothing depressing, and nothing psychotropic or psychedelic... what exactly does that leave me?

While I was feeding Chris this morning, I came to the realization that I don't want to work anymore. I am sad and frustrated that I cannot spend time with my kids, and that someone else is the one seeing them grow and enjoying them through the day :cry:
Anyways, I bumped my head this morning with the car (stupid!!) when I was trying to get Dani out, I went OUCH! Dani saw me and she went ouch too, then she rubbed my head and kissed it :oops:

So I have no money and today is Chocolate day :? . I will stop at the supermarket and load, as they have 4x$1!!!! and I am NOT SHARING WITH DH!!!
