Okay...lots of conversations. Have started parenting classes for the 'strong-willed' child...<P>We've planned the "Bradley Family" vacation (his title) where we drop the boys at my sister's in Phoenix then we're heading to Vegas for the week....<P>He's 'fallen' asleep here the last two nights and has not left to go to his 'spot.'<P>After two weeks of 'rejecting' me, we were intimate again...<P>Of course, I am reluctant to ask what it all means...so I am just going with the flow...but I sure like his actions and his words...<P>Need reactions, support, encouragement...etc.<P>Cali

Hi Cali,<BR> I say open your heart and mind and close off that piece of you that's telling you to analyze it. Buy some sexy lingerie and go for it! Good luck!

Cali...<P>Kinda feels nice to have that feeling huh?<P>Knowing your desire for speeding things up...LOL...put in your lesson plans to go at your students pace!! Let him dictate the whens and hows. One of the things I try to do in some situations, is not to expect anything, and that way I won't be let down. If you go into it with only the expectation of sharing some time, relaxing, and enjoying the kids being at your sisters, then everything else is a bonus!! I know the first instinct is to say *WOW...Finally!!*, but go slow and let him show you the sites he wants to go to and I think you will get further faster. Let him be in control, Teach!! Have a great time!!<P>*Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.*<P>Trueheart

Cali,<P>Take off that teacher's hat and put on a cute bikini. Use the wide brim hat with some sunglasses and sunscreen. Look good and enjoy your vacation. <P>If you need the Affairarator or the LB Fairie, let us know we will be on standby. However, I don't think in that outfit you will need our help!! [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>One day, we will all look back on this and laugh???? Hope so. <P>Have fun!<P>L.<P>

Cali needs to lose another 40 lbs before she'll even attempt a bikini...then 3 caesareans still might hold her back [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]...<P>However, she is doing fine in her one-piece with see-through net at the neckline...and as her abs & arms define, she's not doing too badly in her 'teeny-bopper' tanks and sleeveless tops...(bras optional [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]).

<smirk><P>Just be happy for the moment, enjoy it while you can and don't over-analyze.<P>It's definately awesome to hear the positive stuff as opposed to the negative stuff. I keep praying for you.<P>I don't know, I think your H would LOVE to see you in a bikini, you can do it in your room, alone... [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<BR>

I am so happy for you!<BR>This is your chance, you do not know how many of those chances you will have, so - do the best you can to show him how much fun it will be when he is with YOU!<BR>I am serious about some sexy ideas, it works for me.
