limb here and say that you don't deserve the two kids that you have since you aren't talking to one because of money and you get mad at your other child for calling you and asking if you are upset. OMG......seriously. Get your head checked!

Don't jump...
Please don't jump to a hasty decision. Like has been said before, think everything through before making a rash decision you might soon regret. Dr. Phil says, *if you think the marriage is hard, just wait til the divorce.* I've been on both sides of this fence, without going into detail, and it can work out. And honestly, I had the same sort of relationship your husband says he did; we did see each other for a while, but did not have sex, didn't even come close. Please, email me if you need to talk, because truly, I have been there...it can work out and make you and your marriage even stronger...cross my heart!
get up and jump up and down
Go take a walk for 10 minutes or so. Good luck!
I had a guy jump right in front of me
As if he didn't see me. I didn't want to make a scene, but I thought it was very rude. I absolutely hate cell phone usage in public. It is very annoying. I will purposefully make noise to interrupt. I think cell phone usage while driving should be banned as well. Most people are not paying the least bit of attention when they are driving and talking on a cell phone. It is worse than driving drunk in my opinion.
I'm not going to jump on your case about this sm
But I wonder why you think these kids need to be told now? Has something happened that makes you think that someone besides their parents might let it slip? If that is the case, then maybe you need to talk to the parents about it and tell them that so-and-so found out and isn't good at keeping secrets, or whatever the case may be.
In any case, if you talk to anyone about this, talk to the parents.
Sorry to jump in late, but something else to try...
Massage therapy! I go every week, but during my PMS days (and I get it BAD!!) I make sure I tell my therapist (been going to her for over 4 years now and she really knows me) I am having PMS. She does some extra focus on my head and neck area for that session and I promise you it helps relax me more and does take some of it away. One time I went to her with severe cramps in tears and shaking with pain and they went away completely before I got off her table. She also tells me to focus on my breathing when I find myself getting bent out of shape. Easier said than done, I know. Best of luck to you. :-)
Jump off a bridge already.
I find myself wishing that toward all the pedophiles I've been typing about lately. My heart just aches for their victims. I'm so disgusted by what they do, have done, that I just about puke by the end of the notes. As soon as this shift is over, I'm taking a hot shower to help wash away my disgust. 
Jump rope.

Well just jump in there with your concerns..
All men are created equal. It is understood that the "women" are included.
I just want to jump in here and perhaps clarify.
I think it's a common belief that the Catholic Church believes marriage outside the Church is sinful. Actually, the Church labels it as non-sacramental. The Catholic Church makes no ruling on the legality of marriages. In other words, if you've followed the laws where you live, and you have a marriage license, you're married civilly. Divorce, also, is a civil matter that is dealt with in the courts.
Catholic annulments, for instance, do not determine whether or not a couple was actually married, but whether or not the couple entered into a sacramental marriage.
A sacramental marriage must take place in a Catholic church, is witnessed by a priest or deacon, etc. Couples married outside of the Church can receive what is commonly called a "blessing", but it is actually their entering into the sacramental state of marriage according to the Church. If their married according to the law where they live, then they are civilly married, and the Church recognizes it as a legal marriage.
Some people consider it a lot of hoop-de-doo, I suppose. But it's part of the faith and tradition of the Catholic Church, and so it should be respected in the same way that people respect the Amish living apart from the modern world.
So, yes, if a couple is married outside of the Catholic Church, the church recognizes their marriage as legal. It doesn't recognize it as sacramental.
It's a topic that others explain better than I. So I apologize if I've actually made the issue more confusing.
Wow, sounds like you want to jump right into the fire.
I wouldn't do it. Way too expensive. Y'all are probably young. I would sleep on it for several, several nights.
True Christians do not do this, that's why I jump all over them. LOL
A true Christian does not feel the need to preach nor should they.
Only the ones trying to recruit through brainwash do the preaching

I grab my CD player and jump around to good music...

Needing A Mental/Emotional Jump Start
You good people are probably as good to ask as anybody although if we had a philosophy board, it might be better. My question is Why? Why are we killing ourselves? And I mean this in the broader sense than just the MT industry. I have an ex (46 years old) who is an alcoholic. He lives waaaaaaay out in a very rural area. He owns his own house, land, and a lot of horses, something he acquired 20 years ago when he had a really really good job. He has a regular income now of about $1000/month from CDs, primarily funded from an industrial accident about 10 years ago.
Anyway, neither he nor any of his friends work. They sit around, start drinking at noon and light their first joint, and just drink steadily until passing out around 2 AM. They play horseshoes, cribbage, shoot pool, shoot the breeze, joy ride, poach deer, etc. His house is kind of a dump (jiggle the toilet handle, turn on the tub water with pliers, no windows that open) and lots of projects undertaken while drunk, some done, many half finished. As they say, the Lord provides for fools and drunks, and that seems to be the case here, as he never goes hungry, has never had to do without his vices because of money, etc. Somehow, something always falls into his lap when he needs it, and I'm not talking $20...he'll rent a chunk of land to a farmer for several K and gets all caught up, or he sells some old fencing and gets a grand. He bought a couple of timeshares years and years ago so he takes these great vacations a couple of times a year where the lodging is only $150/week.
I had to leave because I just couldn't stand the lifestyle (I don't drink, smoke pot, or shoot pool), but I'm wondering why. I'm killing myself working 2 jobs to keep the roof over my head and maintain even a meager quality of life, and while I don't have the drunken projects he does, my house is no palace. If it weren't for my kids chipping in and helping, my car would have been reclaimed by the finance company a couple months ago.
So I'm having a hard time hanging on to my motivation lately. There's probably some jealousy involved, but it's also making me wonder why I bother. If I really wanted to, he would probably take me back and there are moments that I wonder 'Why not?'. What is wrong with the way he is living? Footloose and fancy free without a care in the world?
How do you find the strength/will to go on plugging away when it would be so easy to fall into the idiot/drunk category and just the Lord take care of everyday existence like he does for the ex?
Your probably not gonna like this but
I had/have the same problem. I finally made up my mind to exercise, so I joined the local YMCA. I couldn't believe how much better I felt. Unfortunately, I haven't gone back since before Christmas -- and guess what? -- I'm started to feel the fatigue coming back.
I live in horrible winter weather country, so walking doesn't appeal to me during winter months. It is very difficult to make up your mind and do something about it, even though ya know your going to feel better. I'll get there - Good luck
gonna get along without you now by
skeeter davis (really ooold)when I was younger. now it would more likely be This Gun for Hire!lol

Hope all is well and it was the right thing for everyone!

i dont even know if ill be a mom by that age!
Im not gonna lie...
those swiffer jet commercials got me.
so i have one. It works fine for regular mopping, but i haven't really had to SCRUB the floor since i bought the house so not sure... plus i have laminate wood floor not ceramic so not sure if there would be a difference...
it it's gonna cause a problem to say something,
give her only a little bit of candy each day, she's 9, she'll understand why too much is bad, and if mom is already packing stuff away, then the kid isn't missing it, so donate it to a thrift shop.
did you say she is gonna be in the circus?

Guess I'm gonna have to git my gun
As I sit here in the middle of the night pecking my lil ol fingers to the bone once again something has the dogs extremely upset. This has happened twice now... dogs barking and growling and staying all upset for about an hour, then something hits the side of my house, they continue to bark and carry on nonstop for about 30 minutes after that then they finally shut up. First time it happened called my hubby, he told me to get his big shotgun and told me which shells went in it. It's still got the shells in the chamber, all I gotta do is pump it and fire. I guess if it is somebody it's gonna scare the H*** out of them and maybe they will leave me alone. Hey, who knows, might actually be some stress relief while I'm sitting here working on crap and not making anything more than peanuts! Heheheheee... maybe next time it happens it will coincide with the PMS monster.
Thanks everyone - I'm gonna try your ideas and see how it goes! (nm)

And I'm gonna applaud yours!
I agree, although I am not quite old enough to be a grandma yet, we still got spankings, but not too many because after 1 or 2, we usually learned our lesson. I spank my kids too, when they need it, just a swat on the butt usually does the trick. I also agree with the switches suggestion, better yet make HIM go pick it...good luck and God bless!
like he's gonna actually have the time to answer the
gosh
You're gonna lose your man if you don't at least
Men may act macho, but they have feeling, too and like to feel attractive and loved.

Sucks I have to work tomorrow, but I will take a lunch break to see the end.
Great for you, I am gonna insist this
afternoon on just that. I read just this past week about the loss of hair and Synthroid. I am really determined this time to not take the Synthroid like he wants me to but instead getting the Armour. Except for the terrible itching I had when first diagnosed (in the late 80s) I cannot tell any difference taking or not taking the thyroid preparations, - have never been on the armour- was using levothyroxine prior to the Synthroid. Going to see this dear physician in about an hour. Thanks!
I just KNOW ur all gonna say that teaching doesn't (sm)
pay well, either. It doesn't not in most cases. But with her skills, degree & experience, she quickly got into an unusual teaching circumstance where the pay was triple what most educators make, and later she went on to train and eventually supervise other teachers.
no, she's not gonna hook up with church guy

Gonna catch flak for this, but what I would do
is get a bunch of switches and light his legs up any and every time he wants to be as bad as you are saying. I probably could guarantee with the sting you are not going to have to put up with that type of behavior day after day. Of course, with people trying to be so politically correct they will say no spanking/switching/beating, etc., etc. but YOU are the one having to deal with this out of control child.
Ok, now I am gonna feel like a bad catmamma
I do not want to torture, only to clean these guys- they both have dander really bad.
Well of course you're not gonna buy a bag with a hole in it, even if you put it there! LOL nm

Though you were gonna remind me of the plague! - sm
 . My mom always worked outside the home after I was about 5. Dad worked nights, so I was the designated cook and housekeeper. Possibly the reason I despise housework today!
Hippies never scared me, most that I met were pretty cool. What I meant was that while I thought the war was dumb, I was too young to be passionate enough to protest or anything like that. Seeing Led Zeppelin as an opening act was worth it to be as old as I am now...well maybe not, but there's nothing I can do about my age except lie about it. 
I drive a Taurus! Is it gonna crash? LOL nm

Tell me my foot isnt gonna fall off!!
I had what I think is a blood vessel to burst in my foot on the side. My hubs says not a big deal, and maybe it is not but it seems to have spread a little, not over the top of the foot but bigger on the side of the foot. Had anyone had a similar happening? I am one of the older MTers so might just be an aging thing? Thanks.

Fellow workers, you are gonna be proud of me!
I just sent email to a national morning program, has a guy and girl on there. I was watching the other morning, a wife and son on explaining about how her husband suffered extensively with pain, unable to get medications because, you know, some call it drug seeking? Well, come to find out through son being tested, this father had some sort of syndrome (sorry, do not remember the name) and finally died having suffered for years, unable to live a decent life, bedridden. On the panel was the wife, son, a physician and another person The wife started to say something and was cut off immediately but the lady host saying "Well, are you a physician?" The wife said no and the host said "Well, let the doctor speak then." I wrote this host this morning to let her know IF she worked in the field she would know physicians make plenty of mistakes- we clean them up all the time, right? I said people who do not know tend to hold physicians up as gods but if you worked in this field you would certainly know better. I tried to get Megace for hubby 1 time because not eating, lost appetite, starving actually and was told by physician would not help. I switched doctors, got the prescription and hubby regained appetite. Having typed on that for aid in TB patients as well as human immunovirus patients in regaining appetites, I knew better. I feel a whole lot better about myself right now!!
Yeah, I was gonna suggested a 'smackin'...
as the 'or' word, but I'm working on being more, um, understanding I guess is the word I'm looking for. And you know what, it's reeeeely reeeeely hard in cases like these!
You guys are gonna give me a complex!
That is so incredibly sweet of you all to worry about me like this! I am truly just fine. Since I "quit" my job a couple of weeks ago (which I reneged on anyway because I'm a complete tool), I've been working almost nonstop. Tonight marks the first "weekend" I have had off since that time...oh what, 4 weeks now? And let me tell you, I am totally fried.
However, this is a good thing. I got off that darned pager and will now start work on a regular schedule. I can feel the stress melt away already...well, job related stress anyway.
I had to hit the grocery store last night, something I haven't done in about 2 weeks, and I nearly vomited. Last time I left the property gas was well, diesel is what I use, was a whopping $2.99. It is now up to $3.35/gallon! A gallon of 2% milk is $4.69. Bread is $3.14/loaf for the crappy stuff and orange juice is just a tad over $3.00/half gallon. I got 4 bags of absolute bare necessities at the grocery store and it cost $70!! Holy crap! No red meat (well, weeners), no fish, no dairy. How on earth do people with families do it?!
This will be the first winter we have no oil in the tank for home heat, as that is also almost $3/gallon! However, I think we have enough firewood. Scary times my friends and I'm really worried about our fellow Mainers. We have a lot of elderly here in Maine who are really struggling on a good day, never mind the challenges of our winters. There used to be a heating program that would provide reduced-cost fuel...not this year. Reserves are empty in the whole state. Sad and frustrating situation for many, many people and I don't wanna point fingers or nuthin, but the only ones who aren't suffering or seem to have a clue tend work out of D.C., know what I'm sayin?
So, yeah, that's my overdue rant I guess. Thank you again for all who have e-mailed and posted here. I appreciate it more than you will ever know. Once I have things caught up around here, I will sit down and say hello one-on-one. Take care of each other. Rough times are afoot.
I knew I was gonna get zinged ;-) It's all good.
I'm a stubborn old goat. I just call them 'rheumatisms' because that's the old fart in me coming out. Ever see the old cartoon with this old farmer guy who had this toe that went crazy when the weather turned bad? That's what I picture myself as...that old coot. Gravity was never my friend and being a bit of a tomboy, I always played kinda hard and now I'm just paying for it...at least I think that's what's happenin'. The fatigue isn't so bad now either now that our daylight minutes are slowly creeping up. Plus I'm on a high dose of Lexapro and I think that's helping to keep both my melon and my aches in check. Always a bonus.
For real. If you post, people are gonna have an

nothing - it is almost 70 already. Gonna be a nice 80-degree day! I love Arizona!
