I've got it on my IPad (thanks to Ariel) ready to read when we go on the family cruise.
Speaking of cruise, 2 excursions booked (Gr Cayman and Cozumel)...no idea what we want to do in Jamaica though. I cannot wait!

If you enjoy reading about the unspoken love between a man, an elephant, and a dwarf... This is the book for you.

Per the weather report it is supposed to be raining right now... And yet I stay dry. I guess we will have softball practice today. This will be our 4th practice and I still don't know all of the girl s names.

Chris I Pray for you. How did it go?
Well, I left there smiling and DH left rather upset. Teehee I think he thought that the counselor would side with him. He doesn't realize that counselors don't do that. He had gone around the house and written down all my stockpile crap and read off the list to him. laugh out loud oh well, He has no problem eating all my nuts from the T deal or the candy. When our time was up the C asked what next if we wanted to come back and DH said "I'm busy!" with an attitude tone of NO WAY! Hopefully he will think about it but I made another appointment and will continue to try to get healthy myself. SO THERE!!!!! I am woman hear me roar!!!

Good for you!!!! I'm happy to hear you are going back even if he isn't going to. Maybe he'll have a change of heart later on. So what did the counselor say about the stockpile? I'm just curious about his response to DH's issues with it.

I've been seeing a counselor myself. I've only been a couple of times so far, but thought maybe it might help me cope & sort some things out. I kind of feel like I used to be a much happier person and then once my fairytale came crashing down 9 years ago that I haven't been the same since. I'd really like to be more like that person again - mostly for my kids because they deserve the happiest mommy I can be. I can't really say if it is helping, but I'm trying so I guess that's what's most important, right?

He didn't really say anything about the stockpiling. I didn't figure he would. The counselors look for why things are happening instead of judging what is happening, at least that has been my experience. It didn't help that DH went into how couponing is stealing because someone has to pay for that. If I get a box of cereal free then the next guy has to pay twice as much. shake head I told them again that I have cut WAY back on it. He asked why and I said because it bothers DH. But I also said it won't really make a difference until I never use a coupon again as long as I live. He just plain hates it. It was an interesting session. We were asked what 2 things each of us could do to help things be better. I said I would keep up with the dishes and I would find the curtain and hang it in the bedroom ( I didn't want the curtain up in that window) so our bedroom will be finished. I think I am going to find lamps now and order them from amazon and charge it to him. Teehee He is the one that wants it done.

I am glad you are getting help too. I agree with you that I used to be a much happier person that helped other people and felt good about it. Now I seem to say no all the time so I don't tick off DH by being gone or spending more gas. Oh well. Happiness, here we come!!

I'm glad at least you got something out of it. That's so strange that your DH doesn't like you using coupons. My DH would never use them himself, but he's all about the free stuff!

Yeah, I know. He just doesn't get it. It is really a combo of things. 1)He doesn't like me on the computer (waste of time) and knows I am getting deals here. 2) His mom's house was spotless and very uncluttered. This is how he would like our house to be. He likes his closet to be very roomy and not full at all. I think WOW! could I put a lot of stuff in there (but I don't) He hates "storing all this stuff to get rid of it later" "Don't bring it into my house if we aren't going to use it" He thinks it is a waste of money. I say that if I buy 25 packs of hotdogs for .25 a piece and only use 5 of the packs and throw the rest (which I won't) I am still coming out ahead. He can't see it that way. 3) He says it is stealing. Someone has to pay for that if you don't. No store is just going to give it to you. He is a farmer and works hard to produce food for the country (and he does work hard) Then there is that factory, the truck driver and the store that neeed to get paid for that box of cereal I got free. If I got it free then the next person has to pay more to make up for my getting it free. He says that is stealing.

I know I will never change his mind on this so I have quit trying and just hide it away until it is needed. Well, apparently he went digging and counting. Who knows, may be the counselor was impressed by my stockpile Big Grin I am sure that DH was looking for a different reaction from the C than he got about things.

ugh... sorry to hear JD. Last year we had neighborhoods under water and i always feel for the people that lose so much. my dad always makes us put stuff on shelves... but seriously- no one ever knows. hope things start drying fast.



oo oo oooooo! Does anyone want to make me some? i will pay for your time! I just need ones that say: 6 bridesmaids ones, 1 maid of honor, 1 mom of the bride, 1 mom in law to be, 3 that say 'team bride'.... i'm thinking this may be the cheapest i will find. $5 for 4 of them? thoughts? seriously though, if anyone is willing to do this for me, i will pay!!!
Just say the word if 1 inch ones are big enough. If that's okay, I can do them for you here. nod
Quote from ArielA :
Well I am up super early again Sadwalk Sleeping is very difficult for me nowadays, but when is it not for a very preggo person. :l ol: I guess I will have to try for a nap today too. I decided to stop going to water aerobics. I would only have 3 classes left before she comes, and I just don't feel like doing it anymore. : O Oh well. I did it for a while and it was good while it lasted.
I am trying to think of/do all the last minute things I need to do before Lily gets here. 1 week from today I will be holding her! Heart I am excited to say the least! I never did make the girls' 'big sister' teddy bears (I looked at my local stores, but didn't see the items to make them Frown), so I need to go do that today. I will just have to check local gift shops since it is too late to do it online. IDK how I let this slip my mind! laugh out loud Hopefully its not tooo expensive, but if it looks like it will be, maybe I will just take the girls to Build a Bear instead?! Dontknow We will see. Smilie
I totally get you on the sleeping thing. Sheesh. A full night's sleep sounds wonderful. Don't beat yourself up over the water aerobics stuff, you can make yourself feel better by knowing that I love nothing more than laying on the couch all evening once I make it home from work. And build-a-bears would be great too! I've heard about kids putting something special inside when they are stuffed to make them extra special.
Quote from L143smile :
i like that idea... thanks ladies! i think i will make them gift "baskets" or maybe beach bags or something... with makeup and stuff... the frame, and their jewelry. please keep me in mind for any good FREE stuff for it. : ) the guys are going to be a lot harder.
Do you need the cute orange/pink T purses to stuff the things in? I did that for Christmas "stockings" and they were a hit with the girls. I have plenty and could probably ship them to you pretty cheap.

I totally feel for you and am so glad you and dh went to counseling together. My dh wants me to bring as little as possible into this house. Even when I save us all kinds of money, he just has major issues with my buying anything in more quantity than we immediately use. Stupy.Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

Everyone I know who has gone to counseling (and I'm surprised at how many people do) say it's the best thing they've ever done for themselves or their relationships. Good for you.

Well guys, I've been MIA for a week. Sorry for being gone, but know that I'm so addicted to you that I always find time to read along, even when I can't reply. I need my "fix".

Dh and I had a good weekend in Portland. It was rainy and cold (shocking on the west coast, I know), so there's not a lot of fun outside things to do. But we still had a good time. Went to see 2 movies and went for happy hour (things we can't do with the babe). Our hotel turned out to be nice and right in the middle of everything, so that worked out great for priceline. We just did a tiny bit of tax-free shopping (you know dh Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)) but it was totally worth it. Macy's had a one-day sale (I NEVER shop at Macy's). Dh is in a wedding this summer and needed a specific pair of pants and vest from there. Ordered online a few weeks ago since his size is no where to be found, and they don't fit. We took them back, found a pair that fits, found the vest we haven't been able to find anywhere, and got them one-day sale prices and no tax. Then we found the super-pricey coffee machine all the kids are getting my dad for b-day/father's day on sale (never goes on sale) and no tax! Saved well over $100 on that alone. Super cool!

Cheering for my Canucks! They had a good start and then a rough loss yesterday. But we're still loving playoff hockey. We taught the babe how to chant "Go 'Nucks GO!"

Figuring I should plan some fun Easter things for the babe this weekend since we're actually in town this year. Glad to stay home for once.

Report cards were due this week, so I'm super glad to have those out of the way. Now I'm on to the final quarter at school, with only 5 weeks left to teach (YAY!!!!!) before I go on mat. leave. Just hope I make it that long. I'm exhausted and already at the point where I don't feel like I can possibly get any bigger.

Okay, I know there was so much more I wanted to reply to, but lost a bunch of MQM's over the past week. Love you guys and hope all is well. Ariel, can't wait to see your little lamb! Hang in there.

My stepfather was very much like this and if you gave up the couponing he would come up with something else to nag you about so you might as well do something you love. It is a control thing. hug I have been in the exact situation where he agreed to go to family counseling so he could complain about me and then the counselor didn't bite. I was very validated because I was just a teenager and thought maybe I was crazy!!

Just cleaning and packing over here. I will be very happy when this is over! I don't have my normal energy level so things are slow. Mom leaves on Sat morning so hopefully my DH and I can make some real progress this weekend. Closing is the 29th and I think movers on May 2nd.

Not to defend her DH, but this is very much a "farmer" attitude. Waste is not tollerated. Chris lives in a "VERY CONSERVATIVE" corner of Iowa and this attitude is not that unusual there. Not right, but not unusual. I am so proud of Chris for not only going to counseling, but for also getting a part-time job...that is "bucking" the trend up there as well.

Great job again Chris! I could hear you roar all the way over here...unless of course it was that thunder snow we had...but I think it was you!
