I have the soft and round down but not the happy part. So whats everyone doing tonight ,I'm sad Susan gave Mindee hugs but none for me, Angie where is you I have looked everywhere ,inside out 
but you are nowhere to be found, I saw Jane all cuddled up with Mackenzie watching movies boy was I relieved you just don't know what she might be up to
but she didn't see me so I didn't disturb her ,Susan is on the phone again with her sweetie pie ,so I didn't disturb her either ,I didn't see Cristi or Kathy but I did get a glimpse of Katy or was it really Katy ,hmmm.Marti was to busy to see me so I left her to her business ,so I guess I should go watch a movie or read or something since everyone is so busy for the time being , I will check in later to see if any one is around and left me hugs or something . 
so I will go away now , make some tea , don't suppose anyone wants any ,I will call when its ready just in case. (((((((((((HUGS To You and Rocky)))))))))))))) HMMMM and his best friend 
,I understand how you feel completely ,When your kids need the basics it seems a little much,I think though your kids will probably appreciate your gifts more than the one with the 300.00 gifts especially if this is something he's used to.Don't let it fister if you can't change the mister 
,My jokes get worse and worse don't tell Dr Phil please No I don't think your wrong ,but there is really not much you can say , I do think. its kinda a tricky situation . You do the best you can with what you have and thats all you can do ,so don't worry about it. No need for any Rocky Roads 
Sorry 
.Thanks for the big hug I needed that 
Has Anyone Seen Angie 
I would be thinking about how many other gifts I could buy with that much. But I was trying to make up for their dad being gone, not so much make up for him being gone as much as making the day a happy day. And I did that for a few years after. I just wanted to make sure they were happy. I know that buying gifts can't make a person happy but if they can feel good for a little while, for one day it was well worth it. Also, we bought them a lot because they had no one else to buy for them. So we always made sure their birthdays, and Christmas was nice. However, we did set a limit because it is too easy to go overboard. Although, I must say it is hard to stick to but I do pretty good and if I do go over it is only $20 or $30. Maybe, once you guys are married you can sit down and discuss things like that and you can let him know what you think etc. I have to say I definitely don't agree with your mother. I too think you should discuss everything with him because you are getting married and everything should be out in the open. Okay, I just contradicted myself there. You could talk with him about the extravagant gifts before marriage but I do think that will be a touchy subject. Who knows though, if he knows it makes you uncomfortable he may try to change that a little. But too if Kris is used to all that I don't think he would take kindly to things changing. I just think there are certain things though that you don't really need to talk about before marriage, but that is me. And I am meaning things like that. V didn't really agree with what I spent ont he kids but that is how I did it for years and it wasn't a big deal. See, I wouldn't have stopped the limit thing had he asked, again that is me and everyone is different. Oooo, so many isssues when kids are involved. But I know that love can overcome any and all problems. Sorry for babbling, just wanted to offer my 2cents worth even if it didn't help. Shuting up now. 
You do have quite the sense of humor and I think you could give Ellen a run for her money. You guys can have a laugh-off. How about that? I will e-mail 
her and tell her. Anyway...I love her sense of humor and her dancing. She is too funny. And I love that her mom sits in on every show.
Will possibly check in in the morning if Susan doesn't hate me. 
Don't have any plans tomorrow except to sleep in, hopefully. I say hopefully because I am going thru this where I keep waking up at the same time, too early. So hopefully staying up later I will sleep later. Just going to straighten the house some and finish laundry. Didn't get mine done because had to do DD two comforters because the doggy got mud or something on them, so that added to the pile. She needed those tonight. And then DS wanted to do a load so he would have a wokr shirt to wear. He lets it pile up till he has 3 or 4 loads and then wants to do them all at one time, usually on the day I plan on doing laundry. Of course he doens't know that it is planned. Okay, going to go because it is terrible when one starts babbling about dirty laundry. 
See ya I think that if you and Rocky are going to be husband and wife you need to share your problems, and you need to accept help if he is in a position to do ,and it would appear that he is ,don't be embarrassed or ashamed everyone needs help at sometime or another and its not like the mans a stranger to you.so think about accepting some help, the outcome will be a better life for you and your girls and thats whats really important here,getting you on your way to a better life.I admire you I have said this before ,taking a chance to find happiness ,is courages ,I don't think I will ever find that kind of courage again ,I know I won't and I think coming to that realization a few years ago was when I began to gain weight and give up on myself.Everytime I try to get going I tell myself ,what difference does it make, what I look like,and I fail again ,I know its fear but I can't get past it .I know I have to change thisway of thinking for my children as well as myself to stay healthy, but knowing that my future is a lonely one its hard to stay focused. Whatever you have to do , if this is the right man for you, is to be honest with him and with yourself ,if this is what you want and you are completely sure in your heart ,accept his help and his heart and go find your happiness 
and if all else fails I will be your husband I can only imagine what the other ladies are thinking when they read this ,can't you ,I can see them now talking amongst themselves 
hopefully they read your post first so they will understandOh I hope you get this all worked out ,I sense you are a little scared , are you ? Take all the time you need , and please if your not tired of hearing me say this ,accept his offer to help. 
now go to bed you are worn out from all this stress
