Hi everyone!
Sorry i've been MIA lately. I wanted to post this on the 31st in the evening, but then I remembered there would be a new sight. Then yesterday, I couldn't find you. Anyway, I've also been riding the pity party train and fighting depression. I've also started back eating way to much sugar
just when I was doing good too. It started this last weekend with my daughter's 8th grade grad party. Too many carbs and sugar, and I've finally stepped on the scale this afternoon. Up five pds.
Anyway, enough about my woes. You are all still so motivating and wonderful.
It took me forever to finish reading your posts.
Dips, your a saint to let the guy have another chance. I also say bravo for you. When I was your age, I was still thinking "he'll change for me". Well, we all know that's a big load of crap. Just remember the two most important things (and I say this from much experience) make sure you have trust. No trust, no lasting relationship. & Make sure he's your best friend. I married my best friend almost 17 years ago. Oh yeah, and threre's another one: In church one morning the pastor talked to the men (luckily it was in front of us women) and said, "Men, in your marriage you can be happy or you can be right" Fortunately for me, my dh chooses to be happy instead of right. Anyway, I'll be praying for you. follow your gut instinct.
Angie, girl, you are my inspiration. I can't be around all those sweets, never mind making them. If it were me, itwould be: a taste for me to make sure it's okay. Another taste for me to make sure it's still okay. Anyway, you get the picture. Congrats
on the weight loss. Oh yeah, aloe, girl. Get that aloe on that burn.
Claire, WELCOME!!!
You'll love these ladies on this board. I've laughed, and I've cried. I’ve also been motivated. You’ll love them. I’m anxious to hear about the bioidentical HRT. I’ve been using a natural progesterone cream (AKA “happy cream”) What a wonderful difference it’s made in my life. I went from two weeks of total raging PMS to one or two days, if that. I don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t found my happy cream.
Kemp, congrats on all the new and newly painted stuff. I’m dying to paint my kitchen. I can’t stand it anymore, but I can’t just paint. My dh has to retape and texture before I can paint.
Lady T, congrats on the new job. I'm very happy for you. Oh yeah, I haven’t done my body fat lately, but I found a website called: realage.com. It will tell you what age your body really is. It says I’m four years older than what I really am. UGH!!!
Cal, I’m so envious of your trip. I’d love to go to Europe to see all that history. Have a safe trip and enjoy.
Noelle, my dh is a utilities supervisor for our city. He's not rude, but always very helpful. However, if it's coming out of your neighbors yard, and it's not the pipes, it's your neighbors problem. Your neighbor is responsible to fix the problem. Also, your city may be willing to come in and pump all the water down. It's worth a try. Congrats on the new niece. I know several people adopting children overseas. It’s so awesome. A friend of mine just recently adopted. They had been waiting a while, when they finally received a call about a premie in Northern Cali. They spend weeks traveling 3 hours to bond with this child. When it came time to take him home, mom decided she wanted to keep him. Anyway, three months later, she got a phone call there was a little girl for adoption. They were able to adopt her. She’s so beautiful. Anyway, a month after adopting their little girl, they got a call from the adoption agency stating the little premie boy was back up for adoption. Now, she has two babies. They are both so sweet. Sorry for the long story, but it’s such an awesome story.
Anyway, hello to everyone else. I hope not to be MIA for so long.
