I agree... why unblock that? Seems perfectly fine all stopped up to me...

Synnen, whine all you want... we all need to let it out once in a while

Busy weekend for me... stuck out in the garden, poor me... ;)

Alkaline who is that a picture of? How wonderful.

My baby and me. He's the cutest little button you ever will see... lol.. im not biased...

I have got a senerio for you: You love your kids and husband, his mother and dad have for the most part been typical inlaws. Mostly wonderful. They have two houses on their 4 acre lot in the country, Great Grandparents have the brand new house they got built for them, and Inlaws have the old one. They also have a huge shop that they are converting into a guest house. Me my husband and four kids move up to the old house and they live in the guest house so they can do more traveling and wouldn't have to leave great grandma home so much??

My worries, it won't work out and we are made out to be the bad guys.

Is money involved? My experience has always shown that money and family is never a good thing... no matter how close the family is... if no money is involved, it really depends on your fam.

No money just a house payment that we can afford. I guess it just means that my privacy will be gone, I mean they aren't rude by any means, and I don't walk outside in my underwear or anything, I am just nervous as hell. What if I have to tell her I don't want any company and it hurts her feeling cause we are very close and I think I would put my feelings aside so I didn't hurt hers. You know? I almost feel like I would be putting myself in that "danger" zone. My husband thinks we should go for it and never look back and I am just negative about it. I want to be more positive about the whole thing. I guess I just have to get over my issues and look at the bright side.

You have every right to tell her that then. Esp if you are paying your own mortgage payment. That would make it YOUR home for the time being and she would Hopefully respect that. I don't know what I would do... but my mom and I live very close, and she is mindful of our privacy...

Yes it is going to be our house. And yes I love her, I would be able to respect her and I think she thinks the same of me. So I guess it is a matter of talking it over with her and her husband and getting all the kinks out. We already live only 5 minutes away, but this will be a house apart, so you know. I know they need our help, but I was hoping that this would be a time in our life that we could be just us. I guess it boils down to whether I am going to help them or not. And of course when I put it to myself that way, then I say OK. Thanks. I hope you have a lovely day I am going to read some of my book while I can. Hugs...

I agree with alki, it depends on the family. My impression is that they're moving into the guest house so you and hubby will have to be care givers for the greats. It's kind of dirty pool. Not that you'll be caring for the elders but the way it was done. Working in a hospital it's called granny dumping. You're being madeout to be the bad guys because they (in laws) aren't getting their way. But in my opinion if you do care for the greats, you're getting their lifetime of wisdom and memories. As will your children.

Syn, I will always want to know your life story. As I would anyone of the club members. My heart goes out to you and I wish I could hug you and comfort you in some way.
My ex sister in law was in an accident as a child which resulted in x-ray after x-ray. When she reached womanhood, she was told the all that exposeure to radiation made her sterile. That she wouldn't be able to have children. My nephew just graduated high school and my niece is my twin as a kid. I guess what I'm trying to say is there is always hope.
My best advice is what worked for me when we were having trouble conceiving a second time(it also worked for my best friend) we stopped trying and forgot about it. We took things as they came and lived our life as best we could. Stress alone can be a deal breaker. I'd forget about the charts, ovulation charts, taking the temp thing and just enjoy your husband and celebrate your marriage. Take a weekend and go away together, open a bottle of asti and enjoy each other.
but... If you really want to try something that works, there's always the turkey baster.
CBW, I feel your anguish. I too hate interupted sleep. I make the wicked witch of the west look like a candy striper. Is millie still in a crib? If she is you could put her in it with toys and let hr play or watch t.v. while you take a nap. I used to fence Devon in the living room with furniture whle I took a short nap. He would play and watch t.v. with me still there.
The dancing fireman was terrific allhearet. Although my mind went in another direction when I first thought about. I imagined he would be barechested and rippled muscles . Ahhhh the thought alone puts me in a happy place. He's up there with Rick Springfield (wel not that high up but close). I'm a sucker for men in uniform.
I've been thinking a lot about what Start said. About wanting to do good things. I've been thinking about volunteering time at a nursing home and animal shelter.
I draw inspiration from everyone here. There is such a feeling of good will here, I feel empowered to share it. To want to be a better person, mother wife and friend. All because I know you.
I swear I see a chicken soup book here somewhere. You hear so much going bad about the internet but none of the opponents know you guys. Maybe they should.
then like me, they wouldsee they are in the company of angels.

Chippers

Ohhhhh how right you are. Chicken Soup for the Wittering Quiters Corner! Pretty fine idea, I say. Yes I love all of them very much, just a big step that is coming sooner than later. I will prevail whether I do it for them or myself, I just don't really care, I will prevail.
HUGS, Start

I have been a lazy lou today. Tomorrow I will be a busy bee. That is my goal. I still haven't called the hospital to see about volunteering. Don't let me forget. Have a great night and a beautiful morning! Hugs, Start

Good morning my lovelys here in the curly household all is quiet until this afternoon when I have my check up at the hospital :( I'm not really looking forward to it to be honest but I'm hoping ill get biopsy results and so medication that actually helps.

I hope everything turns out good for you laura, my best wishes for you with your appointment today.

Xxx hugs xxx

Oh sweetheart, you hang tough and just keep believing they WILL come up with one.
I can't imagine what it must be like, but you take this Allheart energy, and keep fighting kiddo.

Sending lots of love and hugs.

Good Morning one and all, lots of hugs.

I'll be OK can't make it any worse than it already is can they after 12 years of suffering if they can't control it now I'm not sure they ever will to be honest.

Im just wondering what the waiting time will be this visit keep your fingers crossed it will be less than 3 hours its just not feasible for me to sit there that long with millie its not fair on her or the other patients waiting when she gets cross and restless...

You just concentrate on yourself and millie. Don't worry about the other patients. You're just as important (more so to us here) as they are. It feels like forever and a day pass. I look at it this way bad news travels fast. I'm praying for you. Sending you warm wishes and love your way.

chippers

If I could I would babysit and hold your Millie safe till you got the good news from your doctor. You get extra thoughts and hugs in my thoughts today!

Sadly no good news colitis is still there and he thinks I may have hemeroids too what a lovely man I don't get the hemeroid bit to be honest but hey ho.
More meds of the same that don't do an awfull lot except make me eat the joy of steroids huh.
Hope you are all having a good day xxxxx lots of love xxxxxx

/hugs, hugs and more hugs

I really wish there were something I could do.

I'd even kiss it all better, if I could!

Oh Laura sweetheart,

I don't like that news. Sure you don't either. I guess the hemroids would be from all the aggrevation due to the colitis. I guess. Oh disapointed for you CBW. Sterroids? I didn't know you were on them. They do work for what they are supposed to, but boy the side effects stink. Boy aren't I one cheer me up wagon. Sorry.

Okay here's a little fella to cheer you. Not sure what that is on the little guys head... but how cute?? Love you sweetheart

Oh, I am sorry. I hope you didn't have to wait long. Why do you have to wait so long? Have you got an appointment? Is that just how it works where you live, or is there something I don't know. I am just sorry. I hope they get you something soon. Hugs to you CBW. You are too sweet to be upset. Hugs, Start

There is a LIME on that cat's head, and she's NOT happy about it!

I feel sorry for the poor schmuck she eventually got even with.

Hehehehehe I've got that kitty on my msn he is ssssssooooooo cool

Helllooo! I'm am super busy today, so I'm popping in for just a minute...

CBW - Im so sorry it wasn't good news... im thinking of you.

Synnen - Yes, we just went away to Gatlinburg for the weekend to forget after trying for several months, and it just happened...

Allheart... You make me smile!

I have talked a long time with the mother in law and I told her all of my many little concerns about moving up there. Including the little things like, the kids wandering over unannounced, grumpy ole father in law, they said that they were real concerns and that they have gone over them in their heads too. She also said, she doesn't need help with the grandparents unless they take a trip, but mostly with the 4 or 3 acres and the swimming pool. So, I guess I am going to go with the kids and help them out. You might be hearing from me about this. End of summer and we might be there. Just a heads up.

As for the smoking, I still want one, but I just make the better choice and don't have one. I will survive.

You guys are just great, it seems everyday I learn that everyone on here has more than just QUITER'S issues. I am glad to see that you are so understanding because of them. Hugs to alllllllllll... Start

WHY do people wait for the last minute, and then get mad when you can't get them in the schedule.

Is it somehow MY fault that they can't pull their heads out of their rears far enough in advance to schedule further out than the next day?

ARRRRRGH!

I am laughing, but not at you. This is always how it seems to be, huh? I know I know. I am going to turn on some cool Crystal Gayle and live in her CD today. The kids hate it and to tell you the truth everyone I know hates her too. I don't care, I want her to make my "brown eyes blue" today.

Seriously... I had a woman yelling at me for five minutes because I didn't "save her a spot" on Friday, when she ALWAYS gets her windows done the 3rd Friday in May (which isn't true--we keep records) and she took that day off from work, can't I call someone else and make them reschedule?

I'm like... Lady... Number one, you're a measly $50 window job. Number 2... it's 3 days in advance! If you were like $1000, MAYBE I could get you in, but for $50, my crews would laugh at me!

I'm just frustrated today... can you tell?

LOL oh man she needs a do you realise how important you are in the scale of 1-10 gggrrrr I hate customers lol they have been the vain of my life right from leaving school,

Yes I can tell. I know there are stupid people out there, I know that sometimes I am one of them, I just try to make it right after my stupidity. (if I ever figure out that I was being stupid) anyway, Synnen, you are going to make it through this day. I know you will.

Of course syn will get through today and every other day because she is amazing and fabulous and loves me more than espresso lol

Hey, CBW I wanted to ask if your doctor has told you to drink more coffee. I know it sounds weird, but I brought up the mention of you and she told me to tell you that they say it might help. I don't know, I am definitely NOT medically literate, but it might be worth checking into... And yes she is fabulous.

Awww... you guys are making me blush!

I'll make it through... luckily I'm good at telling people that they're stupid in such a nice way that they don't realize it right away :D

I'm evil like that, you know.

Mmmmm... Espresso... Laura, I hope you KNOW how much love that is!

I really want to stay on the computer to see what is going on. I DO NOT want to do all the paper work that I NEED to get done in order to pay all those stupid bills. Synnen, will you be my bill payer, I bet you could get those suckers to lower som rates for me, maybe even cut the damn bill in half. You would be a big help. I will buy the ticket, we could go to the coast and pay bills and shop. Sound good?

Ah Start nice thought but it actually irritates my bowel I've suffered for 12 years sweet there isn't nothing they have tried there's only one solution and that won't happen unless I'm at deaths door.
Colitis is a nasty disease just because its not seen people have no idea but I'm used to it but I have to admit it doesn't help my moods at the end of the month when my period strikes because I'm then losing blood from both holes I end up like a rag doll.

Yes, I have found out what it is. You poor thing. I would help you if I could. Hope you just lash out here enough to sooth yourself a little, we still think you are great! Hugs

To be honest the only side effects I have is the swollen sides bleeding and being tierd.
But what they would normally treat it with I'm allergic to don't ask how we found that out I'm kind of lucky to be here, but lets not dwell on that dull stuff so the only actual real cure is to remove my bowel and that won't happen while I'm alive and healthy.

I understand. A family friend did that and she wears the bag. She is getting back to normal after two years of making that decision. Now, having said that, I wish you well. I am so glad you are one of the lucky ones!

Hell I fought like a loon at 18 to stop them doing that there was just no flipping way I was going through that at 18 and I still won't do it at 30 I just can't imagine it my uncle had his removed 15 years ago yucky
