When did you know, enough is enough? When did you know the hurt it would cause the kids would be worth it in the end? When did you know it was time to walk away?

I'm exhausted. I think I'm depressed. I want out of my marriage...in theory. I want our situation resolved - immediately. LONG story. My husband is a recovering addict/alcoholic...I used to always say alcoholic/addict but things are different now. Basically, he's been struggling with a...

A simple question to remind us of what really matters. How were you blessed today?

My son's preschool teachers have been sending home notes almost daily expressing concerns with my son's inability to stay focussed. This is the way they explained it to me: While reading the kids a book, my son kept looking around, obviously distracted. At the end of the book they asked my...

Yes, this is directly connected to my other thread (seeking to escape my family). My mom resented me for most of my life so we definately had a rough relationship early on. In recent years she's so incredibly controlling that she's making me crazy. My friends who don't have moms anymore tell...

Where would you go? I'm dreaming of scooping up my DH and kids and running away from my extended family. I just want a complete communication block for about 6 months. So I'm thinking someplace warm would be nice. Maybe an island somewhere... How about you? If you could get away for 6...

TA DA!! Here I am! Fabulous AND 40! :cool: :clap: I've decided that I am totally embracing this birthday! :tutu: :tutu: :tutu: So how come it doesn't say it's my birthday under my character?!

I've kept myself off my computer for the last few weeks when I found the internet was getting in my way. I cut back on everything online...except helping my daughter with her Webkinz site. :D So much goes on when I'm gone taking these little breaks. And I know some of you have other sites...

...and I wil be a Fabulous Forty! Any advice? ;) Tell me how you celebrated that 40th milestone (any really good ideas can be forwarded to my husband :P ). Was it tough for you or did you welcome it? I hear 40 is the new 20. What do you think? And why is that no matter what the...

My 7 year-old was the last to get this year's stomach flu in our house. She woke up, sick, at 4 a.m. She's just beginning to take fluids now. So I'm wondering, what home rememdies do you use to treat your little ones with the stomach bug? crackers? toast? jello? gingerale?

We live in NJ and will be in NC for a wedding on 4/29. We decided that since we're driving that we might take a couple of extra days to go to Washington DC on our way home. We'll be able to be in DC from 4/30 until 5/2. I'm overwhelmed at hotel/motel choices! I don't know the area at all...

...to eat everyday for the rest of yor life, what would you choose and why?

Naturally, he got low marks for speech (that's his need right now). But what concerned me was the low mark for Fine Motor Skills. This was the first it's come up. I'm meeting with the teacher on Thursday evening, and I have some questions for her. But I'm wondering if anyone has dealt with...

My son has motor function issues with his tongue which has caused a severe speech problem. It's not a delay. He talks like crazy, you just can't understand him. He's 4.5 years old, and began speech therapy this past September as part of our public school's handicap preschool program. I'm...

We're attending the wedding of our Pastor's daughter next weekend. It's been ages since we've gone to a wedding. What is an appropriate cash gift for a wedding these days? We live in the New York metropolitan area, so I think it tends to be a bit more here. I think we gave about $150 at the...

Two weeks ago my 4 year-old son had a difficult time pooping. It caused him a lot of pain, and he bleed a little. So now he's afraid to poop and he's holding it in. I've been trying everything. He won't eat or drink anything to help him be more regular. I've been putting powdered fiber...

Anyone else sending their littlest off to school this year? My little guy is going to our public school's preschool handicap program this September. It's only half day, but he's out of the house 5 days! I hate that! He's only 4! He's going into the program for his speech. And I know he...

My friend Dana's dad Tony is very close to leaving this world and I just wanted to ask for your prayers. Please pray for Dana, that God would give her peace and wisdom as she witnesses to her Dad. Also, pray for Tony that God would soften his heart to receive God's word and that he would...

It's a crazy busy world we live in. But we all need to take some time to stop and smell the roses. When was the last time you did this and what was your moment like?

We're reading "To Know Him" in my weekly bible study and the subject of healing came up at today's meeting. Basically, what I got out of this today, is that we suffer because we don't accept God's healing. Because Jesus bore our sicknesses, our illness, our iniquities on the cross and that by...
