yes tonight is fix the clock day. fall back by an hour.

i think i'm going to go lie down. this pre-migraine dizziness is getting worse and it's making me uber nauseous. good night friendly chatterboxes! dream sweet dreams and happy sunday to all of you!

hug
Awww hope you feel better and get rid of that pesky migraine.. good night!!

Quote from setsail :
Relaxing... what is that? Stick Out Tongue
And I would love to meet up with all of you as well. I've found better friends via online than any one I'm met in person, heck even some of my family. Family calls when they want something or need something.
I absolutely agree. I know how empty and quiet my life would be without kids. They do keep us hopping but wouldn't trade them for the world. Though some quiet time during the day would be lovely sometimes. laugh out loud


Hug2 hope you can head off that migraine.
Relax is something I am not used to... I attempt to take a bath instead of a shower and either my 3 year old joins me or my cat jumps in the water lol I have found that my priorities are wayyyyyyyyyy different than my rl friends as they are concerned about league volleyball, drinking and going to clubs... I used to play volleyball all the time when I was 16...but now not so much...lol I am kinda prudish in behavior since kids so I am not a hot drinking mess lol

The only time I feel bad about it is that I see my kids reacting to people in the same way, they tend to be more reserved unless they know someone, and I don't want them to grow up feeling like an outsider.

OMG you just made me more evil I just used the Duracell coupon over at Kmart... worked nicely but may need to add a few to my stack at Target LOL

WTG Tina!! I REFUSE to pay for diapers, it would make me ill LMAO I have 4, yes 4 in diapers... sooooooooo I cannot imagine paying for all those diapers..

OMG I think the Pandora bracelets are too cute!!

My kids all still believe in Santa and don't believe they are spoiled at all.. my two older dd's still have not worn the same shirt to school yet since the year started and am still taking tags off shirts everyday...and they complain they don't have any clothes... lol spoiled... my inlaws told me they want a 50" plasma... me no thinks so...lol I am going to see what JcP has cheap as I bought the 10 off 10 coupons and have to use them by Monday LOL
Evil because it is just so fun!

4 in diapers! I think I would die, lol, rock on girl, so glad you know how to coupon to avoid paying for those, to expensive!

Yeah, I thought the Pandora was very cute too. I've had other charm bracelets before but I like this one the best and I can see wearing it for a really long time.

50" plasma as a request Shutup those peeps are nervy. I say get them a new towell set this year! lol! I never had new clothes for school we always had to shop at thrift stores. Dontknow why my mom didn't clearance shop at least for a few new things. My kids had some new clothes for school, mostly clearance stuff, but once I get 5 or so pair of jeans and shirts I stop because in addition to what still fits they have enough and I don't want even more laundry.

My daughter once described it as the wheels in her head keep turning and won't stop so she can sleep. With the melatonin, she can block that. We all sleep much better since they sleep better.


Hug2 I wish I could offer some great way to take care of yourself but it's a failing I have as well. So much easier to offer advice than to take it ourselves. : P
Sounds famaliar, what your DD said.

I agree on the advice thing too, we all need to get together for a girls only vacation and pamper ourselves.

Quote from getgreen09 :
you guys, in all seriousness, if you're not lifelong insomniacs, then you should make getting sleep a priority.

for one thing, it will speed up the positive results of your diet(s).
there are numerous studies out now that show the enormous impacts of a lack of a sleep. ONLY GETTING 5-6 hours of sleep vs the required and recommended 7 to 8 hours of sleep EVERY NIGHT regularly results in

1. being overweight and gaining weight
2. having a much higher risk of getting diabetes
3. having much greater risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke
4. weakened immune system
5. smaller life span
6. hormonal imbalance, including thyroid and reproductive issues
7. greater risk of certain cancers

and trying to make it up on weekends does not count. it has to be every night, because that's when the body repairs, rebuilds itself and replenishes its hormonal stock. just a 2-3 hour shortage per night can put you in line for so many health issues!

and if you are lifelong insomniacs you should get to a sleep physician and figure out the reason. ok, so i know this sounds like the pot calling the kettle black, but I did get medical attention. But I was born with insomnia (yep, my poor parents!) and so the way my body handles the effects is entirely different. and there is no remedy for my kind of insomnia. but there are remedial interventions for most people.
Yeah, I really should get to bed, it is just so much harder to sleep when DH is gone. Frown He has been gone all but 4 days in Oct. I am glad he has the work, but him being out of state for so long sucks, the first part of Oct he was doing a even in CA and these last few weeks he has been doing the SEMA show in Vegas.

I wasn't a wild teen, or wild college party girl. My brother always told me I was old before my time. I do remember some of my pre-marriage and kids life. My mom wasn't a very good role model, not like mlj's mom where there were health concerns, my mom didn't give a damn so I took over the mom role when I was a teen. There were so many times that I was the only person in my house working a job. Parents were divorced, dad lived in another state with his new family and didn't care what happened to us so eh. To this day I still play the mom role to my mother and my siblings. My younger sister gripes about not having a mom but geez, how does she think I feel?
.
I often felt like I am the only one who went through this kind of life but it sounds like we had some similar experiences. My mom is manic depressive, so her issues are mentally and its not something you could tell by looking at her, my dad was there but worked full time and drank the rest of the time, I have one sister who was wild and always trying to escape etc. Neither my sis or my dad helped with my mom, so it was left to me.

I actually haven't talked to my parents in sometime, so many things happened when I had my daughter that I sort of cut my ties for the sake of my dd.

hug Night is always hardest when your SO is not home. I would love to have a weekend away but fear what I would come home to. laugh out loud

I can sheepishly admit that it's kind of like meeshe's house here, but it's so much better than it used to be. I used to find that I was ebaying hundreds of nwt items every year so (and this has been really hard!) I've cut back on the clothing I buy. It does help that the older kids can't wear cute matchy Gymboree any longer. That was half the fun of shopping. laugh out loud I think if monkey toddler were a girl, it would be just as bad but there cute clothing isn't as available for boys as it is for little girls.

hug It is amazing how those experiences affect us and how we parent. If I ever wonder what I should do in a situation, I think of what my mom would do and then do the opposite. I try to keep my parents in my life so my kids "know" their grandparents but that usually just causes me more stress than it's worth.

I do really understand, I do. There is so much more that could be said but not on an open forum. But if you ever need to talk, you can pm me.

I watched a little kindergardener tell the teacher my mommy says I do not have to listen to anyone that makes less money than her.. it was devasting...matter of fact, if you heard of wegmans grocery stores, it is the granddaughter (the mom who is now president of wegmans) of the original founder and they are worth major $$...and my kids hang out with them yuck Frown LOL

so, you have to cut the cycle. get a bottle of melatonin from the drugstore. a few of my friends swear by it. it's a natural sleep chemical released by the body to bring about sleep. so taking the bottled one aids in falling off to sleep faster. they say there's no exhausted hang over like sleeping pills. no restlessness. it's just a relaxing gently slide into sleepiness. i've never tried it because it's contraindicated for migraine sufferers, but those who take it love it.
I was thinking this would be something good to try but not if you have migrains????
Frown Hope your migrain goes away.

My mom was in college classes all evening after working 50+ hour weeks all through my Jr high and my HS years and my dad was always gone working too, seems like we should have had lots of money but they were barely keeping the lights & heat on, well they were on most of the time. I pretty much took over everything but the laundry and bill paying at that time, raising my younger sisters, I have three, and all the household stuff. Not nearly as much as you went through but I can understand a little.

I know you hate where you live now, but ya know, I remember Henderson how is was 30 yrs ago when I spent whole summers at my grandma's and I loved it all. I know it is nothing like it was then but I still have family and friends there and I just love visiting there. Have considered moving there too. Now don't get me wrong, there are parts that I DO NOT like, especially how Vegas has become such a party town, not that it ever wasn't. But it did used to seem like Vegas was far far away from Henderson. Oh wait, it WAS. lol, not so much anymore, man that place has exploded since my granny lived there.

We have Kohl's here but I never make it to that end of the parking lot. Embarrassment The times I have shopped there, I found some great stuff for monkey, some Lego and Star Wars shirt for my 8 yr old. The girls got pjs there last year.

meeshe, you know if they keep pressing the issue you could tell them that the gift last year was a mistake, meant for someone else, so you don't have to top it this year. Wink It's amazing that adults expect their child to buy them a 50 inch TV.

And good golly, when the girls were little, they had matching or coordinating outfits every day until they were in elementary school, and even then they coordinated a lot (thanks Hanna Andersson! lol) I had 12 of the 25 gallons Rubbermaid totes full of girl clothing when we found out #3 was a boy. That went for a nice chunk on eBay (circa 2002). After buying ds clothing, then selling it as he outgrew it, and buying stuff all over again for #4, I learned a few things.

1. never get rid of the trains. someone will want them.
2. when your heart says don't sell that adorable outfit, don't.
3. same goes for those really htf Thomas the tank engine light up shoes that would now be the perfect size for monkey toddler laugh out loud
4. and the Little Tikes train toddler bed *sigh*

I do still have a tendency to go overboard buying clothing for the little monkey, and shoes, and coats...but it's not nearly half what I used to buy. I would buy outfits from each new line at Gymboree, and still buy stuff at Gap, Target, and other clothing retailers. Now it's cut way back and he still has a lot of stuff. I stopped getting rid of older ds' clothing when we knew monkey was a boy. Once he reaches size 6 and 7, we're set. Since he's still on the 3/4 border, it's going to be a while. Happy Shopping.

Wish I could say my experiences had made me a better person but I thinks it scard me, I once was very happy and a very sweet person. For the past few years I have become very angry, and or sad, its funny cause happy has been hard for me lately. I have always been overly stressed, and it seems like it has just been intensifying lately.

I know I probably shouldn't have said so much, because who knows what people are thinking at this point. But I have no one to talk to so, this is a release for me that is much needed

I literally hate in laws.. some people have great ones... but for instance my brother in law lives in FL and he will call us up and ask us to pay his airfare up here and if we don't we are jerks and he doesn't wanna be bothered.. mind you, he is almost 40!! He can't hold down a job b/c he doesn't want to and thinks everyone else should be responsible for him.. dislike it Frown My mother in law will purposely buy our kids dollar store items when we go to her house for Christmas eve while the kids watch their cousins opening nicer stuff from Target or whereever... then I am told that I need to make sure the kids appreciate it...last year my now 8 year old left there balling her eyes out cause she realized the huge difference between them and their cousins gifts..
