Stressed.....
I don't know how I can live without him, but he's horrible & mean. We have 3 sons, one of them older. I just can't imagine what a separation would do to them. He's an alcoholic jerk that can't seem to find happiness in anything. Advice? or resources?
When I'm stressed out, I like to
get a pedicure. It's very relaxing and costs about $20 (in my area). It's worth every penny. Not only do I have someone waiting on me and rubbing my feet (the stone rubs are the best), but I also have an hour to myself with no hubby, no kids, no pets, no work. If that's not something you can get away to do, try taking a long walk. I like walking through town during the day and looking at everyone's houses. Most people aren't home during the day, so they don't see you looking!
I know life can be stressful, I've definitely had my share in 2007. I took Effexor for about 4 years up until this December and let me say that I would never recommend taking an antidepressant. Getting off was a royal B*****! There are some medications that your doctor can prescribe that are not *addicting*, but make sure you do your research first. Had I known then what I found out later, no way would I have taken that drug. It wasn't worth it.
Now that I have been able to get off Effexor, I know that life is stressful. That's just the way it is. It's not me, it's the circumstances we're in. I hope things go well for you. Remember, spring is just around the corner. Take time to stop and smell the roses!!!
I think that if he is stressed out
he won't have any benefits and won't learn a thing.
I get stressed a lot sm
I have two small children and one will just absolutely not listen sometimes and that really stresses me out. I try to take it easy and not let it worry me too much though.
Anyone here get stressed out with MT work and have IBS. nm

I hate being so stressed out

Me too. I used to be stressed out because of a mean boss.
My car hasn't had any shop time in almost 3 years. I also can no longer afford contribute to my 401K (as if it mattered anymore). I get the rent paid, but at the expense of eating extremely poorly. (Why is the cheap food always the stuff that's bd for you?) So now my cholesterol is through the roof. I can't afford to take a day off, and if I did, can't afford to go anywhere. A trip to the supermarket is an exercise in how well my antidepressants are working, because nothing is more depressing than not being able to afford most of what's in the store. I pray that my pets stay well, because who can afford vet bills? If my car breaks down someday, I'll be a permanent pedestrian. I HATE being poor, and I've come to detest the MTSO's, AHDI, and the whole MT field.
this man sounds stressed out . . . he needs help quickly. nm

Obviously, he is stressed out, but what's he doing to find work?

Anyone else ever seem to get GI problems when stressed out with these jobs. My abdominal area
actually feels sore or irritated.
I completely understand. I dont feel stressed but there must be something bothering us I think.
I guess we always dont exactly know what stresses us because it could be just a lot of things together that arent really terrible but just little stressors of every day life.
You are blessed...
And should feel very fortunate to have wonderful in-laws. Merry Christmas!
you have been blessed!
take care and thanks for sharing!
I too am blessed....
to have a great one. It is not bragging, simply the truth. I married a man, not a boy, and he is respectful, as I am of him.
You are blessed!
Enjoy it! They sure can amaze you, huh? When you least expect it, they can make you feel sooooo incredibly LOVED!!!!
I'm blessed to have two.
There was a time when I didn't think I'd ever trust or be friends with anyone again, but since rekindling a friendship with a woman I knew since I was 20 it's been great. We go walking once a week. So far I keep it to just one day of talking with her so that time we do walk, we chitter chatter about anything and everything under the sun. My other friend's been there for me for almost 15 years. We have our ups and downs, but I think I can confide anything with this friend and vice versa.
You are so very blessed!!
I'm almost speechless. What a wonderful way for things to turn out! Even the hardships, when you share them, can bring you closer together. It sounds like there's a lot of love in your family. Thanks for that uplifting, optimistic post!
i'm so blessed but most people don't know
that i was molested as a child, that i have been held up at gunpoint, i escaped pursuit of a car-full of guys when i was on a bicycle, experienced date rape before there was such a term, had an intruder in the night that even opened my bedroom door when i had a broken pelvis (and i said 'who are you' and he fled)...was the subject of an attempted kidnapping and rape in a hospital parking lot and even a few other things. All this has impacted my life, my emotions, etc, but i am by most standards extremely blessed not only with my life still intact, my basic health, a good husband, happy healthy children, grandchildren, animals etc etc. God can bring us through it all, if we hang on to his hand.
consider yourself blessed - not many speak same
Talk about blessed
Go to myfoxatlanta.com and watch the video of a construction crane collapsing on a woman's car. Miraculously, she was NOT injured...wow!
You are very blessed - I know there are a lot of graet men (sm)
out there. I have many friends whose marriages are great. When my husband complains I bring up one of our friends and say - well you know how Sally's house always looks great? She doesn't work, or she works part-time, and I have seen Joe helping around the house, and don't forget her mother lives in town and can keep the kids when she needs to do things. But it never seems to sink in. I see couples shopping together who look so happy. Sometimes I get in my car and cry because I don't have anything like that at all.
I never do this. But if you want to be beyond blessed this morning, please sm
email me and I will forward you this amazingly adorable thing about DOGS. I am not really a dog person, but after that, I am now! sniff sniff
I would love to share this with everyone. I rec'd it from my aunt this morning. Looking forward to hearing from a lot of you!
This is the email to use:
I'm with you on being lucky and blessed...sm
my husband is retired from the military and we get a very nice retirement check every month from that. He does the laundry and cleaning because he likes doing this and runs the kids to appointments as needed. I don't let him go to the grocery store, though, because every time he goes he goes way over budget by bringing tons of stuff home. He does work 12 hours a week helping in the ASP at a local school just for the heck of it. If we needed him to work full-time he would but we're content with our income and lifestyle, and I love my job so there's no reason to do things differently in our household.
you mentioned how blessed
if you believe in blessings, i would (here goes this word again) "assume" you believe in forgiveness also. i think you should be the bigger one and try to contact your son and make an attempt to straighten things out. at least you will know you tried and then the ball is in his court. :)
Thank you Lord, I am blessed.
Thank you Lord, I am blessed.
"A blessed event" nm
you have been blessed with furry friends!!
I can't imagine life without them. They can really make someone's day. I especially love when I hear about the animals helping people in nursing homes or using them in libraries during children hours. I would love to be part of that. What beauty they bring to this crazy world.
Also blessed. And he's incredibly intelligent, too. nm

Blessed by the Body and Blood

consider yourself blessed/fortunate/lucky sm
went in with the best intentions, tried as hard as I possibly could, 15 yrs and 4 marriage counselors and countless tears later, I am posting the message below
I am blessed that my husband is so thoughtful. He bought
put a lot of thought into them. He has always been that way. He is very caring and considerate. Our daughter is equally caring and thoughtful. I am a very blessed and lucky gal.
No problem, I hope you are as blessed as we are with our Anthony.
And incredibly mature and smart. You are blessed. nm

That is wonderful! I, too, am very blessed! Merry Christmas! nm

Good. She is no better than the rest
of us, but she thinks she is. Isn't she 26 years old??? GROW UP. GEEZ. She is just getting too much attention and SHAME ON HER PARENTS. They are enalbing her. 45 days. GREAT. She better not get out again.
Her visitors can bring her magazines and books, or maybe she cannot read. LOL
Me too! But I cook, he does all the rest : )

God help the rest of you if you're ever in need!! sm
I can't believe nobody could possibly believe maybe this man just has a kind heart and saw a woman about to give birth ALONE, who's maybe not in the best of situations, and he was able to help.
There are kind people in the world, and really they have known this woman for a decade, there is a friendship there.
My husband doesn't consult me on purchases, nor do I consult him, we have separate accounts, we make our own money to use as we wish. I can assume this couple is the same way, since the OP had to check HIS checkbook to even know what he spent.
The stylist was lucky to have a customer with a heart.
The rest of the story . . .
I took him the stuff as a thank you for his time and because he looked like death warmed over (found out later he'd pulled 16 hours, off for five, and called back to that intersection). Actually, when he came back with flowers I was shocked. I figured his main agenda was to talk me out my panties since his girlfriend was on a cruise or something. I had just come out of a 14-year marriage that went from good to bad to downright ugly. The last thing I wanted (or felt I deserved) was attention from a decent man. I said thank you for the flowers but I can't accept them. I would put water out for a dog on a day like that. No big deal. I declined his offer to go out and he persisted. I figured he was turned on by a challenge and I would stop this right quick. I told him I was fresh out of a bad marriage and that I like my men like my cats--neutered. Well, he had a thing or two to say to me. He said he simply wanted to take me to dinner for my kindness in giving a snack, he wasn't trying to get in my pants, and he sure as hell wasn't asking to marry me (God help the poor SOB who ever did ask me is what he said). Well, then I felt like a hateful shrew so I apologized and agreed to meet him that Saturday in a public restaurant. We had a very nice time. He gave me his number and said call when you feel like it and I hope you will share your number with me if you feel comfortable. No pressure. He became my best friend and true partner.
Thank you for sharing the rest of
the story. It just proves there are really decent people out there, but sometimes it is difficult to trust. I am the same way. I am so glad things worked out the way they did for you!
Do not know much what is going on in the rest of the world, outside US........nm

there is really no bed rest anymore -
I went home from the hospital 12 hours after my son was born and had no problems whatsoever. I was at Wal-Mart shopping that night because the doctor told me it was good to start walking and just not to overdo it.
I don't remember there being any pain after he was born, just soreness all over really.
Because the rest of the thread was compromised & only the OP
/
It's a really nice foot rest ...
because most of the time you are not going to want to lift it down. If they still have pictures of the tablets, that was a handy feature in case you ever find an unpackaged tablet in your house and can't identify it. :oD
Strippers work for $ just like the rest of us.
What is the big deal?
