Yes, that I know, I didn't even think that is what you meant. You want to feel heard and to feel alive, as a person. That meaning, separate from being a mom and a wife. You put your thoughts and feelings down and let him sort it out. Yes, your peace you need and whether you want it to, is does revolve around him because you share your life together. It is a constant adjustment on both parts for a marriage to be successful, you have had your success in many ways and now there is need for adjustment to continue on the same path. You aren't a quitter, and you both love each other and your family, tremendously. He didn't think you would grow and evolve as you have, but he will come to terms with it, even if you have to feel like you are fighting for your life for a while for him to see it. I believe in you guys, and I know you do too. I am proud of you for facing your issues head on. Many people hide their head in a pillow and wallow in their sorrow. You are a survivor, and this too you both will survive. I am thankful that you have felt comfortable sharing with me. It means very much.

I won't be hiding in my pillow (although it is soft and comfy) I want my voice to be heard, and I have taken a few steps towards that... I just don't want to hurt him in the process. Thank you very much Shattered, and if there was anyone to help, it would be your long emotional posts... LOL Love you right back sweet.

I can tell that you all are going through some big changes. Many people tend to be afraid of change but change is not a bad thing and once some people realize it, these rough patches will turn into golden roads. It is a process and I hope that you all work through them the way you feel is right for your heart, mind and body. Hope I did not interrupt anything and I hope no one minds me writing this.

No mind here...
I feel what you said and I can take it to heart that there are some Golden Roads ahead, I have said before and will say it many more times... the rough times make for a good marriage, if you stick with it and try to work it all out that is the PROUDEST MOMENT... especially when it comes from both sides... Thanks Joe, youa re always welcome in any conversation. Hugs, Start

Hey Start - I feel your pain. You have read my past posts - so you know where I have been. Marriage is one of the hardest things and one of the best things to have in your life.
My husband is rough around the edges when it comes to communication. When we talk face to face and can SEE each others expressions - it doesn't always work. We don't hear each other. So, I have taken to sending him emails. Just today, I had to sit down and write one. He "jokingly" said (7 x's!! ) that I sh! On him. He had the nerve to say that to me. It hurt my feelings and I let him know. After everything he has put me through - he said that to me.
Anyway - you know the best thing you can do is to communicate with your husband. You give that advice to others all the time. And you know it is what is best. Letting your feelings fester makes it worse. If you have to write a letter, send him an email, then do it.
If you think counseling will help you two, then demand it. You are just as much a member of this relationship and your say DOES COUNT! If he is reluctant for whatever reason - make a compromise - agree to say 5 sessions and if he doesn't like it - then stop. But, give it a try.
Also, please check into this - "Men are from mars, women are from venus". I have a tape series (like seminars) but I think they sell a workbook. It HELPS so much in learning to communicate. It is working for us (believe it or not :))

You came back my Nowwhat... I knew you were here just where was the question. Work OK for you and the babe?
I agree with you, I will do everything in my power and ask him to do the same, to try everything. You have no idea what your words have meant to me. A letter is a wonderful idea, then he can't talk back and maybe if he reads it, it will seep into his soul before he talks to me about it. Goll, can I please take my own advise? Too funny that you should mention that. Communication is huge... Thank you much my friend, thank you..

Aye Julian I see taking away that Aye and you have uncovered my name
I wonder how have you been my friends I see you are having so called lovely conversation a indeed cheerishing suspect whitch brings happiness that so many people unfortunately lack
I see you like the rain I do like different weathers on different occasions although I prefer freezing cold, that is just how I am used to minus 35 degrees Celsius aah the soothing cold snow melting on my skin but that is also due to another little story I may tell from my extremely young times
And how have you been my friends has anything happened I do hope nothing whitch would ruin your life nor your close ones
Youtube I see I do use that site from time to time to watch videos edit things see if I have japonese lacks on animes(it indeed childish yet remember. I am still a child at least biologically)
As for my life my usual problems things go as they go I indeed still suffer from one time to another yet there are always shining moments apparently I am changing school again although it does not matter any longer I have gotten used to changing school from one to three times a year and I do not get attached to things I admit no emotion is how I ussualy am that is why people also seem to think I do not get much as I have almost no answers to talk with but I am not emotioning nor liking to talk to people of such a low intellectual level
I do not say that I cannot stand, hate, detest or any such to people whitch are so called at a lower intellectual level,foolish or in simple words stupid I just do not like them that is how I am I am taking people by theyr intelligece then it comes to how the person looks smells the face and such by that you can often read out what person it is yet not always
I do know not to take out all of one by how the person looks it is just a obvious thing in these lands and I must admit ussualy foolish people smell... Not too good
That does remind me of a group work in class(I do indeed hate those as I have to do all work when rest of the group can sit behind)
But I ussualy end up with fools due to my so called bad luck and theyr start expectations whitch I truly am not agreeing with
To it, one of the people left to me smelled indeed horrible including that two smoking people were in front of me and the stench truly made me throw up when I did go out of the class but already by that and theyr appearance I can tell what people they are of course ussualy but in that case it is definitive
But that is how life goes in this country I do not have friends not only for the reason that I do not wish to lose any more contacts as the odds are against me in a too great way
There are hardly people that can catch my eye and I do not talk about only appearance
I wish for your rain call but I do not wish for you to catch a cold if you indeed need the rain the much you could go to a swimming pool for some water
A few days ago where I live there was an overflood of water falling from the skies the streets were flooded enough for a baby to swim in them and unfortunately the number of accidents was not a minor one

Hahahah, I didn't do any cleaning that I should have yesterday. I was on here too long and then there was only time for the kiddos...
Dustin had a good thought. Tell me what you think. The foster boys go to an overnight daycare sometimes, and I just thought that maybe if the need was high enough, I could do that instead of daytime care. The hours are normally 7 to 7, maybe a little later if I need to see them off to school, but it is still good money and then I have more time for my own children... seens how our kids' bedtime is normally between 7 and 9 anyway... the older kids 9 or 9:30 and the younger ones, between 7 and 8... well, what do you think about that?

Aug 15, 2007, 08:50 AM
Well, the foster boys are in night time care, as the mom works nights so they are sometimes with two daycares in one day... only for thirty days though. Her work times will be day starting in September, so I am glad that is over. Pretty crazy how when I drop them off, I want to scoop them up and bring them back to my house.
Dustin just thought that if I wanted to, I should go for it.
It also means that I wouldn't be watching the boys anymore so I am not sure yet. Just a really good idea that's all. How are you doing, I loved your post I commented on, that was a great way to open O'troubles mind. YOUR words work wonders sometimes sweet...

Well thank you for that! I feel bad for her, she has been pushed to the limit with religion and I wish she realized there are other ways of understanding God, not including religion. Ya know? But I do appreciate your support. I always wonder if I come off sounding like know it all. I sure don't mean to.
I think it really is a great idea. Even if you can't see the boys, you would still make time to see them in other, less stressful ways.
Dustin is right, you should go for it, your days would be so much more manageable for you!

Life's tug of war.
Life can seem ungrateful
& not always kind...
Life can pull at your heartstrings
& play with your mind...
Life can be blissful
& happy and free...
Life can put beauty
In the things that you see...
Life can place challenges
Right at your feet...
Life can make good
Of the hardships we meet...
Life can overwhelm you
& make your head spin
Life can reward those
Determined to will...
Life can be hurtful
& not always fair...
Life can surround you
With people who care...
Life clearly does offer
Its ups & its downs...
Life's days can bring you
Both smiles and frowns...
Life teaches us to take
The good with the bad...
Life is a mixture
Of happy & sad...
So...
Take the life that you have
& give it your best...
Think positive,be happy
Let God do the rest..
Take the challenges that life
Has laid at your feet...

Thank you firmbeliever for joining us over here. I really did enjoy your poem my friend. It is so true, all the good with the bad and embracing life for all the miracle and wonder within that. Yes, we are so blessed to have the people on this site. It is a haven for our sadness, our worries and our fears. This way, we can look at those around us who can't be who we need them to be and know, we aren't alone. We are loved and there is goodness out there. The compassion of those that I have met here, have begun mending my shattered soul and I will go on. I will be OK. I have lost and I have loved, I am thankful that I have been able to love before I lost. It rips your heart apart and then slowly, with other people's love, I begin to heal.
You too Cal, you will begin to let those tears fall and when you do, it hurts so bad you don't want to feel the pain. YEt, you have to. All your feelings and emotions are necessary to have, this is how you process it. You work through it by embracing it and holding on for dear life, while you feel like falling apart.
The past few months have been so hard for me. Part of why Start began this post was to help me not feel so devastated about my post disappearing that talked about losing my friend on April 20th in a plane crash. I poured my emotions on here and so many people came to my rescue with such kind words of support. When the post just vanished one day, I was so distraught. I would keep reading what people wrote to help me get through the day.
People like Start, began a thread of Seeing Love all Around you, to continue helping others who could share about their life and the things that are happening to them.
You coming here says that you too, are looking for that same support and guidance. YOu will find it my friend! 1
Thank you all who continue to come and share, it certainly has been part of my healing process. I hope I can give back what I have received here. Love and kindness from complete strangers, that now feel like a family.
SARAII, glad you aren't gone for good. I would be sad. I will check out that website, it is hard to do that at work. Miss you!
Start, I love you girl!

Candle wax, if poured slowly and gently, feels kind of cool. I used to stick my fingers in the sides of the candle when it was burning and cover the tips of them with wax. OK that sounded really weird. But I did used to do that as a kid.
Now as an adult, I drip it on me somewhere else... lol

This is my favorite saying in the whole world. What is yours and why and when did it hit you and what kind of situations have brought you to that conclusion? Who made you who you are? Who or what brings the best and worst out of you? How many kids do you have, how many do you not have for whatever reason? Are you married single or on your way to something special? Are you religious or spiritual? Did you brush your teeth today? Clean the toilets? Did you have breakfast today? Love is all around you! THAT IS FOR SURE!
I brush my teeth first thing in the morning and last thing before bed,
I usually only drink cooffe in the morning.
I am a very spiritual person and truly believe in God.
I think that people that don't believe just haven't yet exsperienced or over looked
His devine works.
I have 2 children 15 and 18, I love them more than words can exsplain, they have broke my heart many times same as my husband but I keep on loving them unconditionally. My children bring out the best and worst in me because they are the most immportant to me.
The sayings that I posted above really made me think when I heard them, The people that hard hard to love need it the most, if you really stop and think about that its so true.
And happiness is in the jurney not the destination. That rings true for me like the years with my kids when they were little all the sweet memories the jurney was the sweetest part. On vacation the anticipation and excitement of going and the jurney to get there is usually the best part. I could go on and on..

PROUD... I am always missing you... dang girl, come around more often so I can say hi. How is the babe? How are the walks coming along, you still taking them? Anything exciting going on? Hugs to you all, Dustins mom and I stayed up till 9:45 getting the garage sale put together and pricing everything... OMGosh, I have never been to a bigger garage sale in my life... It is huge. She brought her stuff too...
I bought soda and water bottles and KOOL AID for the kids to sell... they love that. Davy is going to do that and take in all the money. She is so cool. Grady is well, if I ask him to he will do the loading for people... I just got back from the store so, I am wired by all the stimulation. New toothbrushes, can't wait till the boys wake up and see the spinny ones I bought them! Anyway, wish me luck, it all needs to go... The new stupid toilet seat too! LOL Hugs, Start
Hello Start, You missed me again, darn.:( lol.
Baby is not feeling so good and he is having a hard time sleeping. Yesterday night I try putting him to sleep but no luck. Past three weeks it has been one thing or another.
I wanted to go for a walk but the way he is feeling I thought it would be best to stay home.
Good luck on your garage sale.

This is my favorite saying in the whole world. What is yours and why and when did it hit you and what kind of situations have brought you to that conclusion? Who made you who you are? Who or what brings the best and worst out of you? How many kids do you have, how many do you not have for whatever reason? Are you married single or on your way to something special? Are you religious or spiritual? Did you brush your teeth today? Clean the toilets? Did you have breakfast today? Love is all around you! THAT IS FOR SURE!
My fave quote is "LOVE IS LOVIER THAN THE 2ND TIME AROUND" always...I believe in that quote....I agree that Love is all around you.....:) :) :) :) :) :)

Time indeed flies when you come into an everyday life or if no such thing as extraordinaryness of situations happen too often then the time indeed may pass fast
I do hope I shall get out of my sickness yet it shall not scar my heart yet my nose...
That is a different matter
I see you are a sixteen year old man my friend Cal
That means that you shall probably at last be able to drive a car for the first time(I think)
That is a good new happy birthday!! (even though it is a little late I baked a cake it goes in to my possibilities as I have baked an extraordinary number of saying it with such simple words
Cakes from the time I still was a foolish five year old boy yet I do not know if foolishness goes after me even these days
If I may ask do any of you know a quick way of repelling cold unfortunately I now shall reveal something none of you ever would have guesses
Behold!.
I have a mistaste for 75 percent of the worlds greens!. (Even I have my pathetic sides)
I do have to get out of that unfortunate problem yet
I do hope that my tongue will change
To the question
Do any of you have any idea how take down colds quickly without mass greens eating?
shatteredsoul
Aug 20, 2007, 08:18 AM
GAIA, you must rest and drink plenty of liquids (tea, water, juice, but not too with too much sugar) Also maybe cold medicine, if you aren't allergic and ibuprofren or tylenol if you have a fever. Other than that, it just takes time!
Also, vitamin C helps you recover a little more quick, or a least boosts your immune system a bit. Try eating maybe soup and crackers. Fruit, or jello. Things that are light, but have some nutrients. Hope you feel better soon!!
startover22
Aug 20, 2007, 08:19 AM
Good Morning everyone...
Aww Gaia, mostly rest and fluids, water or gatorade usually do the trick. They have the new medicide that comes on a cotton swab and you put it in your nose, it is supposed to stop the symptoms faster. The name is on the tip of my tongue but I can't remember for some reason.
I have to ask, exaclyt what you mean by you have mistastefor 75% of the worlds greens? I do not understand sweet.
Cal, the love just keeps coming your way, huh? I am so glad you had a great birthday...
Shattered, kids are in school, wow, not here yet, Sept 4, I think. I will be glad though, then they can get back to going to bed at 9... the little one go at 7 or 7:30 but the older ones just love to stay up till 10 or 11! Anyway, Amber will be just fine, it sounds like she is a sweet heart. I really miss you on here, you going to get our puter at home fixed? Hugs to all, Start

Hello Everyone, Gaia I hope you feel better. I agree with start and Shattered drink lots of fluids and rest a lot.
For colds, I rather use homemade remedies. Like lemon tea with Hunny, ginger tea, Orange juice, Ginger ale, and Vitamin C. It helps me but it could be different for others.
Shattered I try to rest more when the baby is taking naps.

Good Morning all! I am waiting for my child to get her butt out of bed so we can go school shopping! She starts in 1 Week! I have only bought one outfit. No shoes. I do have supplies. I just need Clorox wipes and a box of ziplocs and that will be done.
I went through her stuff from last year and I don't think I will need to buy much right now. She has 4 pairs of jeans and then some dress pants and lots of shirts. I just like new stuff!
Shoes - she needs 2 pairs of sneakers (they have to keep a pair at school) and then I get her dress shoes. She picked out a pair of "hanna montana" boots. Luckily payless has the buy one get one half off sale right now.
Anyway - I hope everyone has a great day!

Not trying to be sexist here, but you lot do seem to like sales, which can be a good thing and a bad thing (good when its something you are 1#gunna buy anyway or 2#wouldnt otherwise afford/ bad when you are buying it just because its on sale, I've tried to tell my mum that buying stuff because it is on sale doesn't save money, because it would have been cheaper not to buy anything!)

Just the fact that she has night time and daytime daycare is really affecting the boys. Night time is for when she works nights and days are for when she needs to sleep. I know for a fact that she has been bringing the boys here everyday and she has been bringing the boys there every night... she does not work 24 hours a day. She had her girlfriend over this wickend and was off from Thursday night to Monday night, the boys were still going to night care... That totally shows the boys that her girlfriend is more important to her than them. They have talked about it and I am furious!! I will be talking with her today about all of this. Besides the fact that DHS will not tolerate it, neither will I. She has no sense of priorities... I just know this is not going to be good. Poor babes

Thanks guys, I think we got some stuff worked out through DHS and another week she will be on days, so it would have all changed again for the boys... crazy! She isn't a bad person, and we talked a bit yesterday, I know she has good excuses for the things she does, but I would like to see her take more responsibility for the things she does. Any way, who am I? Her mother? LOL
Cal, I would marry you if I could. You are too kind and sweet...
My husband has taught me some very important things about babies and parents... They have us for a reason, we are not to let them get away... It really does surprise me when people just have babies and decide a year or whatever down the road that they are not happy. Upsets me, I feel unhappy sometimes, I just keep moving on. I am sure you saw in my posts around here that I have my own problems, but those dang problems, well, they make a person and relationship stronger. OMGosh, am I talking out of my A-hole...

Cal, you are a truly unique and beautiful person, you have so much to offer. PLease look in the mirror and find a way to see something good within yourself. You are the only one who can change that image and open your heart to love. Everyone is worth loving. Yes it is a scary world and I wasn't worthy, or didn't feel worthy of having my own kids, until I had them. They renewed my faith in things that are good and in God and in myself. The most important thing is to learn to love yourself, otherwise you really can't be close to anyone, including God. I have faith in you and I believe you will find love and have a family. ONe day.

Feeding children junk food, over feeding them everyday and even their daughter gets sick all the time from over eating, all take out food and no healthy food or exercise. I think that is so sick. I think more healthy food and hardly no junk food is better. I know you could live longer when you watch what you eat.
What do you all think about that? ;)

OH Cal, I don't see how anyone couldn't like you. YOu are a good guy. You give kind advice and you have a great sense of humor. YOu are intelligent, and sweet and you have so much to offer to this world. NEVER down yourself or feel unworthy of love. YOU are preventing others from getting closer if you don't feel like you are good or loving, or even likeable. Be more gentle with yourself and see yourself as someone you are proud of. I do know where you are coming from, I don't know your exact age but I know my teenage years were quite turbulent and I didn't feel very good about who I was either. Yes I had friends and they loved me but I didn't think I was as smart or pretty or as good as them. My home life sucked and I got caught up in relationships that were not right for my age. I hated being a teenager, until I was like 17. I started finally feeling a little better. IT is a long process and I want you to know that most people feel like you but it will not always be like that. I am sorry to go off on a big lecture here. I just had to share that. Have a great day!! HUGS
Start and Firm, whatsup ladies?? HOw is everyone today? I am on caffeine and feeling good!
I was at my daughter's middle school this morning, some boy was giving her problems in class yesterday and harassing and threatening her. I went in and had a talk with the administrator and asst. principal. This will not happen again, my daughter is to feel safe in the classroom. I am not expecting things to be perfect and kids will be kids. However, if they are disruptive and abusive in the class and the teacher can't handle it then I WILL!! HOpefully this will be the end of any problem, they have assured me it will be. My husband flipped out when he heard and he was ready to put her in private school. I told him to let them work it out and give it a chance first, she shouldn't be scared to go to her school and they said they would squash the BS today. I will keep you posted. Dang it I wish I could go beat that kid up myself!@! @@ LOL

Hey Shattered,
Its night here around 9ish...
I really think class rooms are more controlled by the students than the teachers especially middle school...
But it is good to give the kids a chance to adjust...
So Start wheres you dear?

WEll good morning SUNSHINE!! LOL YOU slept in? I am truly amazed. I didn't think you had it in you. LOL
I am missing you darling, hope your day is going well.
I think I scared Cal away, me and my big lecturing mouth.
Hey Firm, I hope that isn't true. Teachers should be in control of their students, and we never had those issues in elementary school. Although, if they are troubled kids from troubled homes, they probably don't know how to behave. That is not the teacher's responsibility but it is my job for my child to feel safe at school and that they will ensure that while she is in class learning. When my husband went to school, he said he got paddled. Maybe that would help but we are a sue happy country and that is probably why the schools don't allow that. Hope all is well with you!

Too bad the my original posts got deleted... well I still have one somewhat related under bereavement. Why they kept that one, I don't know. I lost a good friend and some other people that work next door, in a plane crash on April 21st. It literally shattered me to the core. I found this site by accident and it seemed the most fitting name for how I was feeling on my first post. I am mending, slowly. Some days are better than others. I try not to dwell in death and grief on here too much. IT isn't what people want to hear about or talk about, when I should be moving on. So I focus on other things and more appropriate topics. I guess the people on here have taught me how to move forward and to be strong. I have gotten a lot of valuable advice, so I guess you could say my heart and soul were shattered, but I am mending it one piece at a time.

What do I do when I have no questions I could answer here and I want to answer something...
Does that make sense to anyone.
I have this need to be able to answer a thread and to make sense while I am at it...
And whole day today I have found only one or two that I could answer well...
Aaaaaaaaaaargh it is frustrating...

It is hard to answer when I may not be able to help.. and that is one reason I leave off most questions...
And another thing is I am waiting for anyone to ask on the moon God thread again,
Good night all,
I am going to Zzzzzzzzzzzzz,
Maybe tomorrow I will find something I can answer
Bye Start,Shattered and all others here...
