I love your family too! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I ended up doing the grilling SS. Turned out ok considering HE always does it and I have very little practice. Nice dinner and dessert then he passed out on the couch from exhaustion from working all day.

Kimmy, I always believed you loved your family. Is there something that sparked this comment, or just on going gratitude?

Faithful, was it a good anniversary for YOU?
Did it help?

We ended up going out to see "Hairspray" Friday night. I loved it. Cute Movie.

SS, to be honest it was "ok". What made it better was a good friend reminding me to give thanks in all things, not just when I feel like it.

I suppose doing the yard is a good gift, but I like romance on occasions like that.

These days we don't have to get a sitter, but sometimes the twins (now 14) need a referee. Anyway, it's easier to go than it was only a few years ago.

I recommend the two of you get out the calendar, and pick a weekend for a getaway. We find that if we put it down in writing, and it's there looking back at us, it is much easier to make it happen. As you know though, this is just a recommendation. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Where would you like to go?
What do you want to do?

BTW, I think your attitude is very good. The reason I continue to push is that this (Harleys's stuff) worked so well for us, and I am sure it would help you guys. Being happy with what you have is very good, but trying to make it better is good also.

I have a great deal of respect for how far you have come. I commend you for your effort. Effort like that is never wasted.

SS

Just 'cause, that's all.

Just 'cause.

OK Kimmy, I was just wondering.

Some days I see the news, and I'm thankful for mine too.

My heart is full pert near to burstin' today and I don't know why.

Do you know how soft and sweet my girls are and how rough handed and rougher lovin' my boys (even the biggest, most hairy one)?

It's overwhelming sometimes.

I don't think my body is big enough to contain it.

That's why I post inanely about it...

But then, the words don't exactly fit the size of the emotions, either.

I'm stuck like Chuck....

Full ta burstin', I tell ya.

Full ta burstin'.

You make my heart sing.

Thanks for sharing.

SS

Hi, FF!!

SS, you have a singing furnace or a singing heart?

Cinderella -

I hate it when I leave out letters. Thanks for catching it

Yes, it's HEART.

How are your children doing lately? You haven't said much about them, so probably no big problems, but an update would be nice.

Hi FAR, you could report too.

SS

FAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How are you my friend? How did the long trek to Texas go?

Hi all.

A good friend of mine is pregnant and is in her first trimester and is sick sick sick.

I feel like getting her a present. Any ideas?

Barf bag?

Floss?

Wet Ones?

When my X was pregnant with DD19 I rewrote the lyrics to the Love Boat retitled as The Love Bloat and sang it to her in my best Bill Murray lounge singer schtick.

I think she threw things at me.

NICE

ginger GC helps. I also found sour grape lifesavers helped.

lol at chrisner

I'd buy your friend a spa treatment/massage/facial thingy. She can use it when she feels well enough. TT

Faith - the trip to Texas went great. We drove about 5000 miles round trip, and the kids did wonderfully through the whole thing.

Some family members had not seen the kids in 4 years. That is too long, and I am wondering if it is time to move back to the motherland, so that my kids can know their relatives, and we can all be closer to old friends.

It was a LOT of fun. And a lot of driving. The next time I hope there to be another driver.

Assortment of tea bags....chamomile or green tea might be nice.
