How wonderful! God bless your family.
And you even get to avoid most of the heat here in Georgia during the pregnancy. LOL Seriously, a baby is such a blessing. I'm tickled for you and your family.
What a wonderful experience your family is in for!
Do you know how old Pinky is?  I know nothing about hand-raising pigs.  I got my little Ellie Bellie when she was already weaned, and I enjoyed every minute of raising her...they do grow up so fast!  Please keep us updated and if you are able to,  please POST A PICTURE!  Congratulations on your new addition to the family! 
He sounds wonderful...sounds like you two have a relationship (sm)
based on love and nothing superficial at all. I'm glad you appreciate him and are so grateful for him. Best wishes & continued happiness to you both :-)
Sounds wonderful.
Do you know what the style of the house is?

I love HGTV. I wouldn't use purple or red, but other than that, I'd definitely use some color in the paint. I guess carpeting is cheaper than wood, and it's certainly comfey, but wood sure looks homey and high quality.

I'm sure it is going to be very satisfying for you. Tune mom out when she talks like that. :o>

That sounds wonderful!
Thank you so much for sharing. With only a family of 3 I think 4 loaves are a lot but if I can break it down into breakfast items and pizza it will work well I think. I have to find some time to try it. :)
I don't have the recipe, but it sounds WONDERFUL. sm
If you do find it, would you please post it for us? Thanks!
Sounds yummy, have a wonderful day! nm

Sounds like a wonderful husband
would be the best bet.
Sounds absolutely wonderful!!! :)

Family is great but I am never back in my hometown where family is... So I always have extended fami
You can always pick your friends your stuck with your family. An Xmas for me is where my husband and kids come home to. It is what you make it!
Summer. Friends or family? Family. Tired or Awake?

Big difference between family values and family jewels, eh? lol
LOL. I love this show. I think Gene and Shannon and her sister are a riot! What characters. It really is amazing to me the kids seem so laid back and so normal. They seem like great kids.
Does your family still do the early Sunday dinner w/family?

You may be, from the sounds of your posts, sounds like an *illegal*
and that in itself is a crime. Nobody else would take 65.00 for an entire day slaving/laundry, heavy cleaning, etc. LOL. Nah, I don't think so. I'm just saying, what it sounds like to me. : )
How wonderful
You have a great brother...and he must feel he has a great sister :)

Have a great Thanksgiving!!!

Wonderful!
You have a right to be proud! Lots of teenagers are really caring and so sensible. Speaks loudly of how he was raised. GOOD FOR YOU!
Isn't wonderful to know there are still some wonderful
teenage boys out there. My son just turned 17 and he sounds a lot like your son. He loves so many of our Christmas traditions, but at the same time is a typical teenage boy. My son loves to cook and loves to help decorate, just don't tell anyone.
Wonderful - thanks

That is wonderful - thank you very very much. I am sending to all my family and freinds.
Wonderful! I have all I need and most of what I want.

Wonderful!
Thanks for the tip. I'll have to watch for it.
This is wonderful.

I forget the man's name right off the top of my head, but he has a book about this; ironically enough you can "charge it on your card" to purchase!  So, kind of funny there!  I checked out the book at the library instead, figured out what to do, and still have not gotten around to it.  I need to get it all down on paper, and I've asked for $200.00 a month extra from hubs for what he gives me towards bills (he pays our entire mortgage) and I tend to to take care of the rest.  However, he does put his own gas in the car and treats us for different odds and ends, fast food, movie night, day at the beach, you get the picture... 


The only problem I see with this is the way I get paid.  I am an IC.  I only have one online company that truly pays me on time.  My other accounts I bill every other week but they don't always pay right away (could be a week lag sometimes) and another I only get once a month.  Also, the work fluctuates.  So, I may make $1.400.00 a month with one account but if the docs go on vacation, that can bring it down to say $600.00 a month. 


So while your plan, I agree, is wonderful and yes it does work, and yes I'm going to give it a try, doesn't always pan out "budget wise" income wise for me personally being an IC and having fluctuating work.  I might add the online company I range anywhere from 14,000 to 20,000 lines a month given the work is there, I work from a pool; no line quotas, and no set schedule.  So, I need to be on my toes to grab the work.  I do have a lot of accounts to choose from, but when I go out twice a week to pick-up work, I am away from the computer, hence losing some of those jobs I could have grabbed.  I check all day long until 11 p.m. to make sure I take all that I can. 


Sorry this is so long, but I think that's where I am so "floundering" on this "budget" thing where I am never sure if I'll have "my end of the budget" every month.  I don't have a set income, but I would not trade this profession for anything; been doing it 20 years, and love it and love being at home with the kids (school age), but still...


You tat - how wonderful
When my mom was alive she told my her aunt tried teaching her how to TAT but she would go so fast my mom couldn't keep up. I've got the tatting needle, shuttle and "tatting for beginners" book but I just was never able to get it. I do like to knit, though I have to admit the last time I knitted I was in 4H in school and made slippers.

I do cross stitch too.
Wonderful!
What an amazing testimony to God.
How wonderful, congratulations and wish you the best !!!!...nm

Wonderful news
What great news! I'm so happy to hear that you have a healthy baby. Good luck. It's too bad your first doctor had to scare you like that.
What a Wonderful Person
I wish I knew more people like you. It's too bad that some people are like this, but unfortunately the world is so much different thatit used to be. Keep doing what makes you happy.
Actually he is a wonderful father...
who takes time out of his sleep schedule to be with them, eat dinner with us, go to kids' sporting events and the usual things people do without missing a beat because everything works out for their schedule. People who sleep during the night have no clue how hard it is to sleep during the day when it is light out, loud noises outside like lawnmowers, snowblowers, leafblowers, construction and more than you could realize. Nobody schedules meetings at 1:00 am so you have to get up after a few hours. Going to church on Sunday with your family and having family day requires less sleep because he works Sat. and Sun. night.
I feel sorry for you that you can't have an open mind enough to see that not everybody has the same life, same feelings, same jobs. If I can make him more comfortable including having a dark bedroom then I will and I asked for help in achieving this goal, not to have someone who doesn't know him or our family come on here and insult us. Not once did I say this was something he told me to do or makes me do..I am doing it because I love him. If he gets home in time in the mornings he gets the kids ready for school. Marriage is about give and take.
what a wonderful post. sm
i've never experienced anything you have mentioned, but i think you are a very strong person for what you've been through and turning yourself around.  i'm sorry for what you've been through, but i'm glad that you have the faith to overcome.  just wanted  you to know i was touched by your post.  God bless. 
What a wonderful tribute!

Not only to your husband, but also to your daughter for being able to express those feelings to him, and to you for having raised such a loving daughter.


I'm tearing up myself here....


U must be a wonderful person....
to have two such beautiful people in your life. Sounds like you have a great family!
Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions. sm
They are making me cry but they are good tears. Note to Lilly- my mother's grandmoter was named Lilly and my mother was especially close to her. If I had another daughter that would be her name.
You Did a Wonderful Thing
There should be more people like you. I'm an animal lover and would have done the same thing. If people can't care for an animal they shouldn't have one. Unfortunately there is so much animal abuse around. I think they need tougher laws. I'll say a prayer that the dog makes it through, but you should be proud of the fact that you took a stand to try and help.
Have a Wonderful time!
Thanks so much!
Wonderful post.
You painted such a beautiful picture of your dogs and have a big heart. They need a voice in this world. Yours rings loud and clear!!
That is a wonderful idea!
I am going on the trip for 2 things 1) the animals and 2) the scenery and loving animals as I do, will try my best to work the zoo in. Thanks!
What a wonderful post. I truly thank you
for sharing what I know from experience is painful to recall. I have literally turned myself inside out to please my sister, and for months we have been like best friends, and because I forgot to bring an envelope of pictures along with me on Saturday night to her place which I had for one week she screamed at me. I told her she owed me an apology and she never would say it. She said she was not wrong, and that I am horribly irresponsible and the WHOLE FAMILY agrees, even my mom. I hate her right now. I am also a Christian and I know that I need to forgive, but it will take time. I do not deserve to be treated like that. I have done more for her than anyone else. I am alone and she is my only sister. If our relationship is gone and I don't go to family functions, I am totally alone. This is really hard. I feel for you, too. You are very strong. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this with me.
Thank you for such a wonderful post. nm
!
Thank you so much for your wonderful post.
To be honest, when I first started reading it, I was like UH OH...and felt you were not recommending the military, but your post was very nice and diplomatic. It's funny how no matter how old your children become you never stop worrying or being a mom. The only thing that gives me hope is that this is the first time in her life that she has been positive about anything and focused. I have to believe, or want to, that this is a sign that there is what she should be doing in her life. We've gone from no hope to something very positive. My heart just tells me it is the right career choice for her. So, thank you again for sharing your story and good and the bad.
I think it's a wonderful idea
I'm sure they'd love it.
I am getting a visual of that and it is just wonderful!

Wonderful casting! NM

You sound like a wonderful
pet owner and it sounds like she has had a nice long life...Be prepared...It is so hard...Best wishes.
No snoring- wonderful
Lots of people do not know snoring could be a BIG sympton of sleep apnea and when my better half would snore, especially when tired, sounded like a train going through. The machine calmed all that down. Total bliss now and his health is not in jeopardy due to the sleep apnea.
oh goody...that's wonderful...
looking forward to it..NOT
We did have a wonderful Thanksgiving
Day Celebration - yesterday - Turkey & All The Trimmings -
Our son headed back to Hawaii where is he based, leaving for 6-month deployment in Iraq on Sunday. Again, Have a Blessed Thanksgiving Everyone!!
How wonderful - going to try and remember
for next year - kind of a little hint of what's inside!! :) LUV IT!
wow that's wonderful. Maybe if we can get a dem in office
:)
Thank you. Yes, she has had a wonderful life.
She knows she is loved, but still so, so hard. Just very difficult today, but as time goes by it will be easier.
I too have many wonderful memories of my
grandparents houses, silly little things like the smell of my nana's soap, her chenille bedspread I thought was so cool, my other grandmother owned and operated a store that had everything from fresh meat which she butchered and feed for animals and lots of penny candy in big glass jars.  Point is - memories are made at their houses more often than not.  It is part of the mystique.  You never said if you took the kids to the grandparents or you expected them to come to you - just wondered.
