I had extra hamburger tonight, and I made patties for the dogs. Three patties. I started crying the moment I realized there was an extra. <BR/><BR/>If you could send good sleep vibes the Little Girl's way, that would be awesome, too. She went from sleeping eight-hour stretches to three... sometimes two. I want to DIE. I may kill her ped on Friday if the woman doesn't have an answer for two weeks of this, so then you'll have to send bail and plea bargain vibes.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13850825844277186930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970661341243634764.post-89024356481759702962009-04-05T21:04:00.000-04:002009-04-05T21:04:00.000-04:00Kelly," That's why I started blogging...because it...Kelly,<BR/>"<I> That's why I started blogging...because it's nice to think that someone is listening to you</I>"<BR/>Thank God for blogging.

You are so genuine, warm, kind and real---which is rare to see in the blogging world, where a lot of people put up facades of perfection and unattainable goals. You have been going through some tough times but to take the time out of your day and write a post about giving back---that's why I keep coming back :D<BR/>Now I think I'm going to go back into my lurker shell and pop my head out when the mood inspires me.<BR/>KudKudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13967668285238283972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970661341243634764.post-65843296759484050042009-04-02T08:49:00.000-04:002009-04-02T08:49:00.000-04:00Katieo, Thank you for that, I come back to check ...Katieo, Thank you for that, I come back to check in because I love all this sharing and Mrs F has probably the most wonderful readership besides my own little group....<BR/><BR/>Janay, you found Mrs F, a safe harbor, you're in good hands.

And I think this is...I confess...I come here often. <BR/><BR/>And I think this is an amazing idea.<BR/><BR/>Here's mine:<BR/><BR/>My husband and I are unable to have children.We found out a year into our marriage. We will be celebrating our 7th anniversary this year. <BR/><BR/>We have been on adoption lists for a very long time, but have not recieved the blessing of adopting a baby. We knew we could not sit around and "wait" for things to drop on our laps, so we decided to try to foster to adopt. <BR/><BR/>For a year and a half now, we have had a little girl in our home who has blessed our lives and hearts more than we could ever imagine. She is our joy, and our life. <BR/><BR/>The way things are coming about, it looks like we will most likely lose her. There are a lot of complications with family members, and because we are not blood related, we don't have much say in what happens. We are, to say the least, devastated, but still hoping and praying for a miracle.<BR/><BR/>So, your positive vibe? We'd welcome it with open arms and incredibly grateful hearts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970661341243634764.post-40958706713553781262009-04-02T01:06:00.000-04:002009-04-02T01:06:00.000-04:00I have to wait to take the class again because the...I have to wait to take the class again because the school I am at only does it once a year.

Our daily struggles may not always mirror one another from day to day, but I almost always can relate to your situations and use your wisdom and humor to help me through my tough times. <BR/><BR/>Watching Baby's language skills develop and her cute little songs and stories has always warmed my heart... I guess my wish would be that my 2 year would take her lead and start to talk more too! He sure enjoys watching her videos! <BR/><BR/>So while I appreciate your inspiration in many aspects of my life, I am hoping that Baby will also inspire him as well! <BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing your life with us!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04757680050670678323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970661341243634764.post-13274996221324037322009-04-01T23:28:00.000-04:002009-04-01T23:28:00.000-04:00Katieo,That would be kind of funny...

For whatever it is worth 3 years ago I was not sure (either was my therapist) that Mr F and I could ever make it work. EVER. And now I think we are more happily married than we ever were. A lot of work had to be done to see each other's weaknesses for what they are and not as attacks... we still work on that. And kind of to change my/our perspective of what I was really looking for/needing from Mr F. I'm not perfect and Mr F is brain damaged. There was a lot of anger on both sides which got acted out. We're still recovering from some of the bad habits we developed... but we are much closer to how we were when we first fell in love. So there is hope.<BR/>And I hope for you that you pull through.<BR/>When I was younger my favorite childhood aunt told me that she and my uncle had thought of divorce more than once in their marriage. I was SHOCKED, they always seem/seemed so in love. It was a great thing for me to know going into adulthood since I had seen a lot of divorce... I didn't think *good* marriages had those kind of dark moments. It gave me a hopeful perspective that it was okay to want to divorce your spouse sometimes. These days I just focus on killing Mr F for the money ;)Mrs Furioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18082932653215907248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970661341243634764.post-73217237015738841212009-04-01T21:04:00.000-04:002009-04-01T21:04:00.000-04:00Mrs. F, you are so wonderful.

I'm trying to hold out hope that we will be able to find a way to forge a more fulfilling relationship for both our sakes, but some days it's hard to see how that will ever happen. Having 2 kids makes the situation even more stressful.<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for your kind thoughts.wootinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02806282812786913215noreply@blogger.com
