Congrats to your husband and to you too for sticking it out with him. I'm sure it wasn't easy. I actually don't drink and never have. People think that's strange, but I never felt the need and I just never liked it.

Wonderful news
What great news! I'm so happy to hear that you have a healthy baby. Good luck. It's too bad your first doctor had to scare you like that.
Yippee! Wonderful news! nm
Wonderful news about my sick cat
I posted on here about thinking my older girl had a stroke. She had lost her hearing and her vision and stumbling around, rambling through the house. Not once did I give up on her. I stroked her and told her I loved her- took her to the veterinarian and told him I thought stroke. He gave her injection of penicillin and steroid and said sometimes animals pull through with that. Now I wonder if perhaps she could have had a blue tailed lizard for lunch as found out highly poisonous for kittycats. Also read inner ear problem could cause same symptoms. Let me say this, Monday when I took her to the veterinarian really not sure which way she would go, thought could wake up the next day and her not be with me anymore. I did NOT give up and now she is hearing me- ran from the vacuum this morning and coming straight to me- her eyes are not blank anymore and she is seeming to track better. There is always hope where there is life.
Wonderful news!!!!! Special Olympics

Thanks, Wannie! nm

to wannie
I don't know why Amy is attacking you - I don't see how anyone could feel bad about a working person with kids taking food stamps - I also wondered who was taking care of Amy's kids since she was always working. . I would much rather see a working person get help than an able bodied person who doesn't try.
EXACTLY Wannie!-I couldn't have said it better
I agree with you Wannie!
If you didn't need it on the 24th, then just wait til the 26th. As for emergencies, you should always have a back up plan. I live in the country, I do this ALL the time! I can't run to the store everytime something doesn't work right!! Sorry your husband may have to work on Christmas Day.
Wannie, how are you holding up hun?
Just letting you know you and your mom are in my thoughts.
I agree with you, Wannie
No way would I be involved with my family if they tried to exclude my husband. He and I are one, our family is our first priority. The OP's husband should stand up for his wife above all else. She should be his first priority.
Wannie, very good point! lol

Wannie, is there such a thing as sweet
cheese? Might have to try that out. My hubby says he is getting home late so instead of him cooking, I am out to get a pizza. Getting those olives and pepperoni for me, yum!
Congratulations to your husband Wannie
It's wonderful that he's been sober for six months. Good luck to him.
Wannie, they are probably sitting on their fat behinds
right now not offering much to society, as much as they would like to think they are special. They can look down their noses at those who have had to ask for assistance and say what they will because they have sad, pitiful lives and only feel superior lambasting others (I guarantee one of them is looking up the word lambasting right now?). Be prepared for some snappy, snarky comment from one of them. They are unhappy with themselves which is why they must degrade others. You have done nothing to warrant their scorn.
See, I knew if I posted after the noon news it would be different after the evening news! LOL nm

I agree. From the poster below with opinion different than Wannie.

How wonderful
You have a great brother...and he must feel he has a great sister :)
Have a great Thanksgiving!!!
Wonderful!
You have a right to be proud! Lots of teenagers are really caring and so sensible. Speaks loudly of how he was raised. GOOD FOR YOU!
Isn't wonderful to know there are still some wonderful
teenage boys out there. My son just turned 17 and he sounds a lot like your son. He loves so many of our Christmas traditions, but at the same time is a typical teenage boy. My son loves to cook and loves to help decorate, just don't tell anyone.
Wonderful - thanks
That is wonderful - thank you very very much. I am sending to all my family and freinds.
Wonderful! I have all I need and most of what I want.

Wonderful!
Thanks for the tip. I'll have to watch for it.
This is wonderful.
I forget the man's name right off the top of my head, but he has a book about this; ironically enough you can "charge it on your card" to purchase! So, kind of funny there! I checked out the book at the library instead, figured out what to do, and still have not gotten around to it. I need to get it all down on paper, and I've asked for $200.00 a month extra from hubs for what he gives me towards bills (he pays our entire mortgage) and I tend to to take care of the rest. However, he does put his own gas in the car and treats us for different odds and ends, fast food, movie night, day at the beach, you get the picture...
The only problem I see with this is the way I get paid. I am an IC. I only have one online company that truly pays me on time. My other accounts I bill every other week but they don't always pay right away (could be a week lag sometimes) and another I only get once a month. Also, the work fluctuates. So, I may make $1.400.00 a month with one account but if the docs go on vacation, that can bring it down to say $600.00 a month.
So while your plan, I agree, is wonderful and yes it does work, and yes I'm going to give it a try, doesn't always pan out "budget wise" income wise for me personally being an IC and having fluctuating work. I might add the online company I range anywhere from 14,000 to 20,000 lines a month given the work is there, I work from a pool; no line quotas, and no set schedule. So, I need to be on my toes to grab the work. I do have a lot of accounts to choose from, but when I go out twice a week to pick-up work, I am away from the computer, hence losing some of those jobs I could have grabbed. I check all day long until 11 p.m. to make sure I take all that I can.
Sorry this is so long, but I think that's where I am so "floundering" on this "budget" thing where I am never sure if I'll have "my end of the budget" every month. I don't have a set income, but I would not trade this profession for anything; been doing it 20 years, and love it and love being at home with the kids (school age), but still...
You tat - how wonderful
When my mom was alive she told my her aunt tried teaching her how to TAT but she would go so fast my mom couldn't keep up. I've got the tatting needle, shuttle and "tatting for beginners" book but I just was never able to get it. I do like to knit, though I have to admit the last time I knitted I was in 4H in school and made slippers.
I do cross stitch too.
Wonderful!
What an amazing testimony to God.
How wonderful, congratulations and wish you the best !!!!...nm

What a Wonderful Person
I wish I knew more people like you. It's too bad that some people are like this, but unfortunately the world is so much different thatit used to be. Keep doing what makes you happy.
Actually he is a wonderful father...
who takes time out of his sleep schedule to be with them, eat dinner with us, go to kids' sporting events and the usual things people do without missing a beat because everything works out for their schedule. People who sleep during the night have no clue how hard it is to sleep during the day when it is light out, loud noises outside like lawnmowers, snowblowers, leafblowers, construction and more than you could realize. Nobody schedules meetings at 1:00 am so you have to get up after a few hours. Going to church on Sunday with your family and having family day requires less sleep because he works Sat. and Sun. night.
I feel sorry for you that you can't have an open mind enough to see that not everybody has the same life, same feelings, same jobs. If I can make him more comfortable including having a dark bedroom then I will and I asked for help in achieving this goal, not to have someone who doesn't know him or our family come on here and insult us. Not once did I say this was something he told me to do or makes me do..I am doing it because I love him. If he gets home in time in the mornings he gets the kids ready for school. Marriage is about give and take.
what a wonderful post. sm
i've never experienced anything you have mentioned, but i think you are a very strong person for what you've been through and turning yourself around. i'm sorry for what you've been through, but i'm glad that you have the faith to overcome. just wanted you to know i was touched by your post. God bless.
What a wonderful tribute!
Not only to your husband, but also to your daughter for being able to express those feelings to him, and to you for having raised such a loving daughter.
I'm tearing up myself here....
U must be a wonderful person....
to have two such beautiful people in your life. Sounds like you have a great family!
Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions. sm
They are making me cry but they are good tears. Note to Lilly- my mother's grandmoter was named Lilly and my mother was especially close to her. If I had another daughter that would be her name.
You Did a Wonderful Thing
There should be more people like you. I'm an animal lover and would have done the same thing. If people can't care for an animal they shouldn't have one. Unfortunately there is so much animal abuse around. I think they need tougher laws. I'll say a prayer that the dog makes it through, but you should be proud of the fact that you took a stand to try and help.
Have a Wonderful time!
Thanks so much!
Sounds wonderful.
Do you know what the style of the house is?
I love HGTV. I wouldn't use purple or red, but other than that, I'd definitely use some color in the paint. I guess carpeting is cheaper than wood, and it's certainly comfey, but wood sure looks homey and high quality.
I'm sure it is going to be very satisfying for you. Tune mom out when she talks like that. :o>
Wonderful post.
You painted such a beautiful picture of your dogs and have a big heart. They need a voice in this world. Yours rings loud and clear!!
That is a wonderful idea!
I am going on the trip for 2 things 1) the animals and 2) the scenery and loving animals as I do, will try my best to work the zoo in. Thanks!
What a wonderful post. I truly thank you
for sharing what I know from experience is painful to recall. I have literally turned myself inside out to please my sister, and for months we have been like best friends, and because I forgot to bring an envelope of pictures along with me on Saturday night to her place which I had for one week she screamed at me. I told her she owed me an apology and she never would say it. She said she was not wrong, and that I am horribly irresponsible and the WHOLE FAMILY agrees, even my mom. I hate her right now. I am also a Christian and I know that I need to forgive, but it will take time. I do not deserve to be treated like that. I have done more for her than anyone else. I am alone and she is my only sister. If our relationship is gone and I don't go to family functions, I am totally alone. This is really hard. I feel for you, too. You are very strong. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this with me.
Thank you for such a wonderful post. nm
!
Thank you so much for your wonderful post.
To be honest, when I first started reading it, I was like UH OH...and felt you were not recommending the military, but your post was very nice and diplomatic. It's funny how no matter how old your children become you never stop worrying or being a mom. The only thing that gives me hope is that this is the first time in her life that she has been positive about anything and focused. I have to believe, or want to, that this is a sign that there is what she should be doing in her life. We've gone from no hope to something very positive. My heart just tells me it is the right career choice for her. So, thank you again for sharing your story and good and the bad.
I think it's a wonderful idea
I'm sure they'd love it.
I am getting a visual of that and it is just wonderful!

Wonderful casting! NM

You sound like a wonderful
pet owner and it sounds like she has had a nice long life...Be prepared...It is so hard...Best wishes.
No snoring- wonderful
Lots of people do not know snoring could be a BIG sympton of sleep apnea and when my better half would snore, especially when tired, sounded like a train going through. The machine calmed all that down. Total bliss now and his health is not in jeopardy due to the sleep apnea.
oh goody...that's wonderful...
looking forward to it..NOT
