Caren I am glad to read you are in recovery. I hope that things are going well for you. Thanks for the list of bumper stickers. it made me laugh.

It is the end of April and it is hailing, weird mother nature!

The kids are not too bad off, DS2 is snoring loudly upstairs in my bed, gave him a bubble bath, got his fever down and he is now resting peacefully- hopefully it will last. The other two are complaining their way through dinner <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> with a friend over.... wonderful feast of fish, potatoes and mac n cheese <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> I am having a salad <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Wonderful dear charming WH <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> of mine promised to make dinner and spend the evening with us, and help out with the children. then a "buddy" of his called, he came home changed his clothes, grabbed the Fax machine took my car and left. I asked him what happened to making dinner, and he asked what I needed him to make that I could not, and then left. I have no idea if he is really where he said he is, and I have no clue when he will be back.

That is fine with me, as I would rather it that way then still do it all myself, and resent him for not helping. This is much more relaxing for me.

Plus I get all you wonderful people here with your stories <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

KMEJ-

I guess I'm not sure what's going on in your situation.....can you get me up to speed??

-Caren

There is nothing really new with my situation. I am being as dumb as ever, H is being as cruel as ever, and I have not left yet, so as Lemonman would say "I don't get it"

KMEJ -

Don't feel too bad, apparently you're not the only one.....just look at me <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

TM

KMEJ you have given great advice to other posters in the last 24 hours. Why don't you take your own advice, darl' ?


{{{{KMEJ}}}}

KMEJ,
I second that. Your post to me was right on, and excellent. I hope you come to a point when you are able to do what you know you need to do....
You and your children deserve more!
Danielle

well bob and Dani- I have been thinking that same question a lot lately. I can see what I need to do, I can see myself in others and just want to gently shake them, and tell them they deserve so much more. I find myself pulling farther and farther away from my H, losing more and more love for him. I see myself planning a future with out him in it. Partially because I do not see him as wanting to be with me, and partially because I want to be loved and happy, and right now I am neither.

I am a co-dependent if I ever saw one, and I do not want others to live a life like mine, not the wonderful people on here.

Hey KM,

You ever see those bracelets that say "WWJD"?

I have a twist on those that has been so helpful to me..

"WWWXWD" or what would wayward ex wife do....

Ususally when I get in a sitch and am tring to do the right thing, I think "WWWXWD"

aaaand,

I do the exact opposite!

Works everytime <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Your Friend
RebornMan

That is an interesting approch <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Thanks for sharing.

KM,

The thread looked like it needed a little humor.

Actually we all do.

I just want to echo what somebody else said....sometimes we need to take our own advice.

But then only you know when you have had enough, we all have our limits. Have you reached yours yet?

I have a shirt that says that. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

And my favorite bumper sticker reads:

****What if the Hokey Pokey IS what it's all about?****

oh, and my other shirt that reads: I see dumb people

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

*HEALTHY CHILDREN * are what God intended .

We are so blessed with this I just have to share hoping I can help you out there.....(Ok i am a guy solution oriented, not sympathy based, but am here to help):

I will add the meat of this later,

First tip:

DIET:
LIttle or no sugar. We feed our toddlers water between meals and after dinner. No juicies, except occasionally OJ or Grapefruit Juice. They can have cake and other stuff on occasions, but sugar is not a diet staple.
even jam for toast is a real fruit spread, sweetened w/ real apples; not a jelly.

Our kids have been called the most even tempered of the whole group when they are in church day care, and other groups. We thank God for that.

Whole Grain cereals: At a Whole Foods store, there are tons of good tasting cereals that have 6g only of sugar.


No proccessed breads. We use 7 grain bread for sandwiches, no burger buns (unless eat out)

Lots of fish

Lunch and Dinner --has all of 4 food groups.

Theres more but DIET is 1/4 of the answer .

Everyone can have healthy kids.

More soon.
