Her favorite soup isn't potato is it? That would be really spooky.

Its hard on FB because I feel I have to be brief. I know girls are different than boys but I think some things translate. About 3rd or 4th grade, my kids wanted more say in thier lives.

I'm totally wif ya. I think I really do a good job about picking my battles with them and letting certain things slide. I am a bit of a neat freak, but as far as their rooms and playroom go, I'm not too much of a stickler. I am very strict about homework though. She gets her homework pkt on Monday and all is due by Friday, so we figure out what can be done each night so that she's not overwhelmed or working on it for hours on end. If she wants to work ahead, that's fine with me.

I try to be respectful to lead as example and in turn, I expect them to do the same. We all have bad days, and I totally understand that. If she had asked me to stay up later without thowing a massive tantrum, like it was her right to stay up if she wanted to, I may have made a different decision, but I had to say no. I also try to be very consistant with punishment, but make compromises if possible. Like last night--'no you may not stay up because of your behavior, but if you can get everything done tomorrow night, I'll give you an extra half an hour then' If that's not good enough for her, then I will rescend my offer and go from there. I think normally I'm pretty fair. Normally, she doesn't act like a bat outta hell either :blink::lol:

Slowly getting better :)

Physical Therapy is now twice a week, but I'm also trying to get in Zumba twice a week. Went out on our boat for the first time in 2 years, but stayed in the boat, pulling Brian around on the knee board and making sure he gets around on the boat and getting back IN the boat without hurting himself :ph34r:

I can hail a taxi, show disapproval with hands on hips (well, with a little effort), but can't point to that thing back there. I can sign 'a long time ago', but not 'boss'. I still can't hook my bra like normal people or SCRATCH THAT ITCH NEAR MY RIGHT SHOULDER BLADE!!! :angry:

If that's not good enough, I'm prepared to make you another offer. 1/2 hr earlier? Hub does that to the boys. I need 30 minutes of help with the yard work. 20 minutes, Dad? Ok 45!

OK, now I'm asking dating advice from people who have been married since time began, but you are the most knowledgeable group of people I know so....

When we said goodbye last night he said something about getting together again soon. I emailed him today just saying thank you and how much fun it was and how I hoped we could swap travel stories again soon. He replied with 'yes, let's do this again soon'.

Now, does this mean I'm supposed to propose a time and place? Or do I wait and let him pursue? I never did understand these rules. :huh:

He probably doesn't either. :P

Keeping in mind that I have been married 25 years as of Oct 5, this is what I would probably do. You will have to judge if he seemed interested at the dinner. If you think he is, I would wait 3-4 days, maybe a week then suggest a date. Is there something you could ask him to do with you like go to a play or art fair?

You mean if they argue on time, like working 20 min instead of dad's proposed time of 30, then he makes them work for 45?! That's AWESOME!!!

Max does that with cookies--"Mom, can I have 5 cookies?" "No Max, how about 2?" With a twinkle in his eye, he looks at me with sad eyes, "OK, I guess 2 is ok...." Then runs off happily :lol::lol:

Yeah, I might have to agree.... Seen the movie 'He's Just Not That Into You?"...

Also works like this: you can have $30 for new football gloves. Anything more, you put in the money. Can I have $40? OK, $25.

A side note is that if you cannot reasonably get the gloves for less than $45, ask Dad to go look at them with you. When he sees this, he will up the amount but not for the $90 gloves.

Outsmarting children can be exhausting! :lol:

It's funny. It follows a bunch of different dating people in this new technology age. There's a lot of bluntness going on, which I wish my friends had done for me when I was dating. Woulda saved me a TON of time and tears :rolleyes:

Outsmarting children can be exhausting! :lol:

And fun!!! I'm getting more creative by the day!

Max didn't want to come home from daycare yesterday so I made this elaborate plan for him on how he could stay at the school, where he could sleep, what he could eat... He just looked at me like I was crazy. I asked him if I could have a hug good-bye which confused him even more. Finally, when I was walking away telling him to 'have fun', he ran after me, still looking at me like I was crazy ;)

Baby steps, Leesiguh :rolleyes: Glad to hear things are slowly improving.

Or do I wait and let him pursue?

Yep--and I wouldn't count him out just yet. Everyone has their own pace ;)

Keep in mind that I haven't dated since 1974 B)

Yes, I would wait to hear from him, but not for too long. Put on your Nikes, get ready for the chase, but be prepared to untie them, throw them off and continue along the dating path, barefoot and ready for new encounters with fellow runners...

Don't think you'll need to be sporting brown pants at any point... . . .. .. ..:unsure:At least, I HOPE not.......

Shroooomie's getting a new toof! Gawd, don't think YOU'LL need brown pants, just a pair with mighty deep pockets. I still canna believe what I hadda pay for my implant (tooth, not breast).. . . . . . ..man, I paid that oral surgeon's rent for a few months, to be sure.... :blink::angry:

I don't know what the dating rules are nowadays, but if you want to be persued, wait it out. You've let him know you're interested in another date. The ball is in his court. I gotta feelin he'll come through ;)

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana
