I love Fraggle Rock.  We got a couple DVDs for my friend and I got some for myself and made the kids watch it.  :-)

You are not respected in your marriage. Tell him to go by himself, save his own money and take your kids somewhere YOU want to go while he is gone. Please don't say that other than this he is a wonderful father, good provider, yada,yada...he has no respect for you or your opinion, which cancels out any good attributes, IMHO of course....

our local library.  My kids are loving it! They are 3 and 5 and 11. All boys.  The 3 year old loves it the most. 

I can't believe how much I'm learning! I just learned a few things on the song "I'm just a Bill, sitting on Capital Hill!" HAHA

Okay, back towards the end of last school year some mothers decided to have a coo at the elementary school and take over the PTO for this coming year from the ones that had been running it.  Shortly after that, the now ex-pres moved in next to us.  The neighbor across the street is now on the "new" PTO.  Somehow, they didn't elect a president for the coming year though and they came knocking on my door "oh you'll be great, we'll do all the work, we just need you to run the meetings, etc".  Well, I let the principal know that I would and now am regretting it.  I have a full-time job plus type part-time at night (switching to just weekends when school starts).  My husband is gone during the week so that leaves me to take care of kids, homework, games and practices, etc.  I get calls and emails all day long regarding PTO.  I thought about just sticking it out for the school year (I do have the flexibility to be off or leave early, come in late from my full time job) because I really want to be more involved in the school since my child is going into the second grade.  Well, the final straw was a few nights ago when a bunch of us parents were sitting in our driveways watching the kids playing.  It wasn't until after the ex-pres comes outside (she hasn't talked to any of us since all that happened), that the neighbor across the street starts talking PTO stuff at a level that the ex-pres can hear (I never replied to her about anything).  My husband went ballistic!  We came in the house and he said that was uncalled for, we need to move, and that he's very upset about me taking on the role of president.  SO, what do I do now?  How do I gracefully back out but not get shunned from being up at the school and helping out with some activities?

The other story with that neighbor across the street that has bugged me this week - everything my child gets (we are not frivilous by any means), she makes sure her kids get the same things, even down to the exact same pair and color or tennis shoes for school, clothes, bicycles and now, the yard ornaments that we have had in our yard, i see she has bought some and are now in her yard also.  I cringe now when I see her but I hate to keep my child from playing in the front yard just because her kids are out there (same age).  Any ideas on this too???

What a crappy week!!!

I am not surprised they were able to accomplish the rescue.  Have you seen those shows where they detail what exactly the training they go through entails and you watch people actually going through the training?  It is brutal.  Those guys who make it to the end are the cream of the crop.  Once again our military comes through!  I am so happy about the good outcome! 

were in, the 8-year-old was mouthing off the 11-year-old.  I said "That's enough."  He continued to mouth and my 11-year-old stopped.  He then called his 11-year-old brother "A big fat wussy."  I told him again to stop or he would be on timeout.  My 11-year-old was walking away.  My 8-year-old then started after him and pushed him as hard as he could.  He's about the same size as my 11-year-old. 

I don't tolerate the instigating on either end.  But when I said to stop, it should have stopped.  My 8-year-old refused to stop.  He then escalated it to something physical, which is why he ended up on the chair.  I've told my kids time-and-time again to tell me if someone's doing something to aggravate them and they won't stop after they've been told.  They know that I will stop it and the one doing the picking will be punished.

I try very hard to dole out my punishments evenly, but in this case, he should have stopped when I told him to.  I gave him 2 chances to stop and he still didn't.  The pain he inflicted on my 11-year-old was enough punishment.  He left a large red area on his thigh and up the side of his back from being pushed into the wall/table and landing on the floor. 

I lie, I covet, I am jealous, I sometimes swear when I am alone, I have stolen when I was younger, I have anger and lash out, I am moody, I am materialistic, I feel hatred sometimes, I have used God's name in vein, I have had lustful thoughts.... the list goes on and on.  I am a sinner. 

But thankfully for me, what separates me from my sin is Jesus and his death.  Since I took his gift of salvation, I am free of my sin.  I can be forgiven, it doesnt all stay on top of me.  I will be sinless when I stand before God.  So everyone sins and telling someone they have sinned is not being judgmental because you are also a sinner.  Being judgmental would be pointing out someone's sin and thinking you were better than they are.  As Christians we are supposed to tell others about God and what he expects, his love, his rules and all of that. You dont just preach a message of love and tolerance or you are only giving half the story.  There is no accountability in that.

That's what my husband did for both our computers, although I made him unhook one of mine because the two fans were so loud when the computer was on that I had a hard time transcribing.

Hopefully they have quieter fans now....

up doing for the same reason.  I talked to my insurance company and he made me promise that I would go to the ER and tell them that I was in a mentally critical condition.  They did give me anti-depressants although it does take a while for the full affect. At least you'll have something on board in the meantime.  You should also be able to go to your PCP and get the same results.  Whatever you do, go see a doctor.  Either your PCP or go to the ER.  They do understand and will help. 

You will continue to be in my prayers.
